"Wow! I didn't expect Coulson is actually a fan of Captain America!" The first generation Gwen looked at Coulson's star-chasing appearance with amusement.
It was just like being recognized by someone while walking on the street. She guessed that Captain America rarely encountered such a thing, so it was normal for him to feel a little embarrassed.
"Yeah! We are big stars now! Fortunately, Uncle Ben and the others seldom go out, so we don't have this kind of trouble!" 1st Gen Spider-man also shook his head helplessly.
Sky Screen played out their stories, which had both advantages and disadvantages. The obvious advantage was that he avoided many regrets, including the death of Uncle Ben, the death of Norman, the death of Harry, and the fact that he could be with Gwen was also thanks to Sky Screen.
It is even because of the sky curtain that he has countless fans all over the world, and even obtained wealth that was once unattainable for him by relying on his portrait rights and copyrights, so that he no longer has to worry about his livelihood every day.
Sky Screen even thoughtfully arranged venom for Gwen to help her avoid the inevitable death crisis that would occur if she was with him. This was extremely thoughtful.
But there are many disadvantages as well. After all, he is under the spotlight and cannot make any mistakes in his words and deeds. Fortunately, 1st Gen Spider-man himself is very kind and is often willing to save people from danger.
This has greatly increased the tolerance of countless New Yorkers towards him, and when they walk on the street, citizens often run up to take photos with them.
But the other issue is the safety of Aunt May and Uncle Ben.
1st Gen Spider-man doesn't want something like Norman grabbing Mary Jane to threaten him and intimidating Aunt May to happen. Fortunately, although the New York Police Department is not very effective in dealing with super villains, it has no problem preventing ordinary robbers.
And because their current house has a highly planned security system, 1st Gen Spider-man is not too worried about this issue.
More importantly, those super villains are not stupid. 1st Gen Spider-man's fighting power has been fully demonstrated in the sky. No one is willing to try to provoke him. They would rather stay away from New York and cause trouble in other cities than to confront Spider-Man.
This has led to a continuous drop in crime rates in New York. 1st Gen Spider-man has rarely encountered major robberies, and even the possibility of nighttime robberies has been greatly reduced, so that 1st Gen Spider-man is more often helping to put out fires and other things.
The firefighters were very grateful to him. After all, 1st Gen Spider-man and Venom Gwen were basically not afraid of fire. They could go in and out of a scary fire scene at any time.
In this regard, Venom Gwen's advantage is even far greater than that of 1st Gen Spider-man. After all, Venom at this time is really not afraid of fire. It can even withstand high-temperature fires of hundreds or thousands of degrees without Gwen sweating a drop.
[In the damp underground tunnel, water dripping from rusty pipes, two armed gunmen ran swiftly through the dimly lit passage. Their boots splashed through puddles as they reached a hidden entrance, revealing an elaborate research base carved into the bedrock. The sterile white lab equipment contrasted sharply with the rough stone walls, creating an unsettling juxtaposition of advanced technology in primitive surroundings.]
[The mind-controlled Dr. Erik Selvig moved with mechanical precision among the researchers, his eyes unnaturally blue and glassy. He pointed emphatically at various pieces of equipment, his voice carrying an uncharacteristic sharpness: "Not that! It's this!" His hands trembled slightly as he directed the assembly of a complex device designed to harness the Tesseract's power.]
[Loki sat on an improvised throne at the edge of the workspace, observing the controlled scientists with cold satisfaction. The Mind Staff gleamed in his hand, its blue crystal pulsing with otherworldly energy. Without warning, the staff emitted a blinding blue light that engulfed Loki, instantly pulling his consciousness into a spiritual realm. His body remained seated, eyes open but vacant, as his mind traveled across the cosmos.]
["The Chitauri are starting to get restless!" The Other, one of Thanos' lieutenants, circled Loki on a desolate asteroid floating in the void of space. His face was partially hidden behind an ornate mask, his six-fingered hands gesturing menacingly as he spoke.]
["Let them get ready! I will lead them to a glorious war!" Loki, now fully armored with his horned helmet gleaming in the strange light of distant stars, slowly walked forward on the barren rock. His physical body meanwhile remained motionless in the underground lab, the staff creating this astral projection across space.]
["War! Against those weak earthlings!" The Other growled, his voice echoing strangely in the vacuum of space.]
["Glorious! But it won't last long! As long as your army is as strong as you say!" Loki's voice carried a hint of challenge, his lips curled in a slight smirk beneath his pale, drawn features.]
[Hearing Loki's words, the Other immediately bristled with anger, moving with unnatural speed to circle the Asgardian: "Are you questioning us? Questioning HIM who handed the scepter to you? He gave you ancient knowledge and new ideals! You were a defeated king when he found you!" The menace in his voice escalated with each word.]
[Loki's expression darkened at having his failures mentioned, his jaw tightening visibly: "I am the king of a country! The rightful ruler of Asgard! I was betrayed!" His voice rose with indignation, echoing across the barren landscape of the asteroid.]
[The Other mocked without hesitation, moving closer to Loki's face: "Your ambition is insignificant! It's full of childishness! Our sights are not only on the Earth! But on the Cosmic Cube! The wider universe that will be revealed when its power is harnessed!" His breath was cold against Loki's face, carrying the stench of alien worlds.]
[Loki responded sarcastically, his silver tongue unable to resist the jab: "You haven't got the Cosmic Cube yet, have you?" His green eyes glittered with defiance.]
[After hearing this, the Other immediately teleported directly in front of Loki, so close their faces nearly touched. He slowly raised his hand toward Loki's face, fingers splayed threateningly: "You would do well to mind your tongue, Asgardian." The implicit threat hung heavy in the air between them.]
["I am not threatening you! But until I open those doors! Until I lead your army to victory, your promises are nothing but empty words!" Loki looked at him coldly, refusing to be intimidated despite the power differential between them.]
["Go fight your battle, Asgardian! But know this - if you fail, if the Tesseract is not placed in our hands, there will be no realm, no barren moon, no crevice where he cannot find you!" The Other's voice dropped to a sinister whisper.]
[He circled behind Loki and stared at him maliciously, his alien features contorted with hate: "You think you know pain? He will make you long for something as sweet as pain! You will know what it means to experience true agony!"]
[He placed his gnarled hand directly on Loki's face as he spoke these final threats. In an instant, Loki's consciousness was violently thrust back into his physical body. The mental shock of the transition caused Loki to jerk in his seat, his head tilting sharply to one side. He gritted his teeth, his expression contorting into something ugly and desperate. His eyes, wide with a mixture of fear and determination, stared coldly ahead as sweat beaded on his brow.]
"Loki and the Chitauri are not on the same page! They all have their own agenda! I just don't know why the mastermind wanted to give such an important scepter of the mind to Loki."
Spider 2nd Gen Peter obviously didn't quite understand why Loki, an outsider, could get such an important treasure. After all, these were the Infinity Stones from Tony's universe.
You know it's powerful just by hearing the name, not to mention that this thing also created Ultron and Vision, but the other party actually gave it to Loki.
"You can imagine how confident the other party is in himself, or the mysterious mastermind behind the scenes doesn't think highly of this Mind Gem." Gwen was also very clear about this.
But she didn't quite understand what Loki had experienced since falling into the wormhole that made this mysterious person trust him so much.
[Time passed, and soon the quinjet carrying Captain America approached a massive aircraft carrier floating in the ocean. The massive vessel's deck stretched out like a small city, with various aircraft and personnel moving about in organized patterns. The quinjet descended smoothly, its engines adjusting to a gentle landing on the marked runway area.]
["Pack up the captain's equipment!" Coulson ordered as the ramp descended. He and Captain America disembarked from the aircraft, the fresh sea air hitting them as they stepped onto the deck. Agent Natasha Romanoff, her red hair distinctive against the gray and blue surroundings, approached them with purposeful strides.]
[Coulson brightened at the sight of her: "Agent Romanoff! This is Captain Rogers!" He gestured to Steve with barely contained excitement, still clearly starstruck.]
["Hello!" Captain America looked at Black Widow and greeted her politely, standing tall in his civilian clothes that somehow still seemed a size too small for his super-soldier frame. His eyes took in the impressive operation around them, adjusting to this new military reality so different from what he had known.]
["Hi!" Natasha replied to Captain America with a brief nod, her expression professional and controlled. She then turned to Coulson, all business: "You have to go to the bridge. They've started the face-trace." Her tone suggested urgency, the hunt for Loki already underway.]
[Coulson immediately began walking toward the interior of the carrier after hearing this, his duty calling: "See you later!" He gave one last admiring glance at Captain America before disappearing into the organized chaos of the helicarrier deck.]
