ตอน 28: Chapter 28: Hearts Entwined
Police Headquarters
Captain George Stacy sat at his desk, rubbing his temples as he watched the news footage of Spider-Man's latest exploits. The images of Peter Parker battling the Sinister Seventeen, showcasing his new powers, and the brutal interrogation of the villains played out on the screen. He sighed deeply, feeling a mixture of pride and worry for the young man he considered a nephew.
George: "Peter, what have you become? You were always such a good kid. But now... this."
He glanced at a framed photo on his desk, a picture of him, Peter, and Gwen from a few years back. Peter had always been like a son to him, and seeing him change so drastically was painful.
Yuri Watanabe entered the office, her expression a mixture of concern and frustration. She had also been watching the news, unable to tear her eyes away from the screen.
Yuri: "Captain, did you see what he did? I can't believe it's Peter. He's... different."
George: "I know, Yuri. It's hard to reconcile the boy we knew with the man we see now. But I can't help but worry about him."
Yuri: "I can't either. I... I still care about him, Captain. I love him, but I hate seeing what he's become. He's crossed lines that I never thought he would."
George: "Sometimes, love can blind us to the truth. But we can't give up on him, Yuri. There's still good in Peter. I know it."
Yuri: "I hope you're right. I just wish I could have been there for him more. Maybe then he wouldn't have turned out like this."
George: "Don't beat yourself up. Peter's choices are his own. We can only hope that he finds his way back to the light."
Meanwhile, Tigra, also known as Greer Nelson, was watching the news from her apartment. Her heart swelled with emotion as she saw Peter on the screen, powerful and relentless. Her eyes shone with admiration and love.
Tigra: "Peter, you've always been amazing. But now... now you're something else entirely."
She received a call from the hospital about her son's transfer to a high-class ward with top doctors. She knew it was Peter's doing, and it made her heart melt even more.
Tigra: "You didn't have to do that, Peter. But you did. You always go above and beyond for those you care about. I love you so much."
She longed to be with Peter, more than anything. The man who accepted her for who she was, who took care of her and her son. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Yuri, looking for someone to talk to.
Yuri: "Greer, can I come in?"
Tigra: "Of course, Yuri. What's on your mind?"
Yuri: "It's Peter. I saw the news, and I just... I don't know how to feel."
Tigra: "He's changed, Yuri. But he's still the same man we love. He's just... stronger now, more determined."
Yuri: "But at what cost? He's crossing lines, Greer. I'm scared for him."
Tigra: "I understand. But we have to trust that he knows what he's doing. Peter has always had a good heart. That hasn't changed."
Yuri: "I hope you're right. I really do."
The two women shared a moment of silence, each lost in their own thoughts about the man they both cared deeply for.
Thunderbolts Headquarters
In the Thunderbolts headquarters, Thunderbolt Ross, also known as Red Hulk, watched the news footage with a wide grin on his face. Beside him, Betty Ross, the Red She-Hulk, looked on with a mixture of contemplation and admiration.
Ross: "That's my son-in-law! Always knew the kid had it in him."
Betty: "Dad, he's not your son-in-law. Not yet, anyway."
Ross: "Oh, he will be. Mark my words. The boy's got guts, power, and the right amount of ruthlessness."
Betty: "He's different now, Dad. Stronger, yes, but also... darker. I'm not sure what to make of it."
Ross: "That's what makes him perfect, Betty. He's not afraid to do what's necessary."
Betty: "I know, but... I need to be sure. Bruce's betrayal still hurts. I want to give Peter a chance, but I need to be certain."
Ross: "Take your time. You'll see that he's the right man for you."
Betty looked back at the screen, her eyes reflecting a newfound determination. She decided then and there that she would give Peter, and herself, a chance. She would make it work.
The other members of the Thunderbolts gathered around, discussing Peter's exploits with a mixture of admiration and curiosity.
Moonstone: "He's quite impressive. Those new powers are something else."
Ghost: "And the way he handled the Sinister Seventeen... ruthless."
Juggernaut: "He has defeated me in the brotherhood hideout,kid's got guts. I respect that."
Ross: "That's my boy. You'd all do well to remember that."
The Thunderbolts nodded, clearly impressed with Peter's new abilities and his decisive actions.
The Maximoff Laboratory
In a secluded laboratory, Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, sat with her brother Pietro and her sons, Billy and Tommy. They watched the news footage with rapt attention.
Pietro: "What do you think, Wanda?"
Wanda: "He's changed a lot. He's stronger, more determined. Quite impressive."
Tommy: "Mom, just impressive? He's so cool. He's always been cool."
Billy: "He's always been the best. But now, he's even better."
Pietro looked at his nephews that his sister made through her magic,mutant powers and blood he doesn't know how and why his sister did this but he respected her decision and loved his nephews he was also happy that his nephew Tommy possess same power of super speed as him.
Pietro: "You two really like him, don't you?"
Wanda: "Why do you both like him so much?"
Billy: "Because he's unlike any other. He's the best hero. He's our idol."
Tommy: "Yeah, we love him so much. Not only us, our friends love him too."
Pietro: "Friends? What friends?"
Billy: "With my powers, I somehow got in contact with another mutant named Franklin Richards. We also made friends with his sister Valeria Richards, the Power siblings, and William Grant Nelson."
Tommy: "They say that even though he's busy with all the hero stuff, he still takes time for them. He's like their best friend, guardian, teacher. Almost like a father."
Wanda's eyes sparkled at the thought. "Really?"
Billy sent a mental link to his brother, 'Hey, what are you saying?'
Tommy replied mentally, 'What? Don't you also want Spider-Man as your dad? Didn't you also say it?'
Billy: 'Yeah, but what about mom?'
Tommy: 'What about mom? Mom does everything for our sake. Did you see the look in her eyes? If we say we want something, she'll give it to us. Also, he's the best. Why can't I give mom the best she deserves?'
Billy: 'What about Franklin and Valeria? Didn't you hear their plan about their mom?'
Tommy: 'They have the best life a mutant kid can ask for. People don't prejudice against them like they do us. We want a dad much more than them. Our mom wants an understanding partner more than their mom.'
Billy, 'But they are our friend, no..best friends we only have countable amount of friends can't go around losing them because of selfishness,right? '
Tommy, 'If it's for mom's happiness I can selfish,also doesn't william's mom love him too, he too needs a father as much as any of us, aren't richards more selfish than me in that matter'
Billy: 'If you put it like that, then yeah, I guess you're right. But still...'
Tommy: 'I know where you're getting to, brother, but I want to have a dad. Mom loves us enough, but the lack of having a father hurts me too much. Uncle Pietro is a good father figure, but he's still our uncle. Nothing can fill that void, only he can.'
Billy: 'Fine, but I wish he could marry all our mothers. That would have been great.'
Tommy's eyes sparkled. 'Genius! That way, our three best friends could be our siblings.'
Billy: 'What are you saying now? Hold your horses.'
Tommy: 'Think, Billy. Wouldn't this be the best alternative to breaking our friends' hearts and friendships? Polygamy is normal in many parts of the world. It's better than cheating on a spouse, at least.'
Billy: 'I seriously can't reason with you. Just how does your brain work?'
Tommy smiled. 'Super fast.'
Pietro jumped in, "What are you boys going on about? Having a father? Don't make unreasonable requests."
Wanda: "They're right, brother. A father is necessary for children's upbringing. Fatherless children are tough to raise. A father is as necessary as a mother."
Pietro: "In 'normal' cases, yours and these children's case is anything but normal. This isn't just about them getting a father, but also you getting a husband."
Wanda smiled. "Isn't that much better? I would have someone other than you to support me, and you would also get a brother you always wanted."
Pietro was speechless. "I seriously can't reason with you, little sis."
Wanda: "But you still love me, don't you?"
Pietro sighed. "Yeah, okay. I approve. This guy is quite good anyway, but I will make sure he doesn't break your heart."
Wanda smiled, and the boys cheered.
Billy sent a mental link to Tommy, 'Let's talk with the rest about the plan.'
Tommy replied, 'Alright.'
