"Oops! This must hurt!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Wow! This robot is also too strong, right? Two of them can't beat one! Isn't this the suit Stark invented? How come Stark isn't a match!?"
...
Gwen was sitting on the stands, swinging her legs and commenting on the fight below.
Hearing this, Alaric couldn't help but turn his head toward Gwen.
"Hey, are you really this relaxed around me? Aren't you afraid I'll take off your mask?"
"Huh?!" Gwen subconsciously touched her face.
"Aren't you a superhero?"
"I am, but being a superhero doesn't stop me from wanting to lift your mask."
Alaric looked at Gwen speechlessly.
This Gwen seems a bit silly, but she's cute.
"You really want to see?" Gwen stared steadily at Alaric.
"I don't want to."
Alaric decisively refused and continued watching the fight below.
At that moment, the battle was nearing its end.
But after watching for a while, Gwen, who had been chattering nonstop, suddenly fell silent?
"Why aren't you talking? I didn't scare you, did I? Just kidding."
"No," Gwen's voice was gentle.
"It's really late, aren't you going back?"
"It's fine, I'm usually asleep by now, they won't find out!"
Gwen usually chose to act at night after falling asleep; she went to bed early and lights out was at 9:30.
So her dad wouldn't come in at this hour, and she didn't need to worry about being exposed.
"That's right." Alaric nodded.
"So, do you really want to know who I am?"
Facing Alaric, the idol in her heart, Gwen had no doubts about him.
Moreover, ever since she mutated, she carried a lot of pressure inside and had no one to talk to.
That's why she wanted to find Alaric, and decided to follow him when he was leaving.
Even though Alaric was a so-called mage, which was different from her genetic mutation, as enhanced beings they should have a lot in common.
"You trust me that much? You're not afraid your identity will be exposed?"
"And you? Why aren't you afraid people will find out you're a mage?" Gwen asked curiously.
"Because I'm the strongest, even if it's known, others can't do anything to me."
"That's amazing!" Gwen was amazed!
If I were as strong as Alaric, maybe I wouldn't need to hide my identity, nor worry about causing trouble for my dad.
"I also think I'm amazing." Alaric looked down and nodded without modesty.
Gwen looked at Alaric's profile, and a desire surged in her heart.
She wanted to meet Alaric with her true identity!
Instead of hanging out with Alaric as Spider-Woman and wearing a mask.
Thinking that, Gwen pulled down her hood, paused for a moment, and decisively removed her mask.
Alaric heard movement beside him, turned his head, and saw shining blonde hair appear.
Gwen's small, pale, flushed face appeared before Alaric.
"Hello, my name is Gwen Stacy."
Gwen generously reached out to Alaric and introduced herself.
"My name is Alaric." Alaric shook hands with Gwen.
Gwen, full of confidence, had stars in her eyes.
"Then we're friends!" Gwen smiled happily.
"Of course."
"Wonderful! I have a friend now!" Gwen felt a wave of relief.
Rumble!
At that moment, Tony and Rhodey finally, relying on their silent understanding, joined forces to defeat the enemy Ivan Vanko.
Looking at the red light on Ivan's suit, Tony suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly backed away, calling Potts on the phone.
Fortunately, through the call, Tony learned that Potts was safe and the sudden disappearance of the robots.
Tony thought for a moment, then remembered Alaric.
Only Alaric has the ability to make robots disappear en masse directly.
...
"It's over, I'm going back." Gwen looked at Tony and the others leaving, Ivan self-destructed, and she decided to head home.
"Do you want me to escort you?"
"With magic?! Sure, sure!" Gwen was pleasantly surprised.
She had long wanted to try magic!
Alaric opened a portal across from Gwen's room.
"What magical magic! And so practical!"
Gwen approached and looked at the different worlds on both sides, the feeling was like a dream!
"By the way, how do I find you next time!?" Gwen suddenly asked.
"This is my business card; if you need me, you can call or come to this address to find me…"
Alaric handed Gwen the business card while explaining.
"Got it! Peaceful night~" Gwen waved to Alaric.
"Bye-bye~" Alaric closed the portal and immediately returned to the temple.
Here Gwen looked at the business card in her hand, threw herself onto the bed, and rolled around, completely happy!
Now she felt successful, like chasing a star!
"Tonight is my lucky day!"
...
Temple.
Alaric was also preparing to take a shower and lie down, planning to visit Thor again tomorrow and, at the very least, stay there for the next few days until Thor recovered.
After all, that was Odin's instruction, and Alaric still needed to keep an eye on things.
Who else but Alaric, Thor's uncle ~
Just as Alaric was about to fall asleep, his phone rang; he glanced at it and saw it was Jane.
"Jane?"
"Alaric! My work is finally finished!!" Jane said happily on the other end.
"Really?! Weren't you still busy today?" Alaric was very surprised.
"You saw me? You were here?" Jane was confused.
"I used magic to see you; I planned to come by these days, but when I saw how busy you were, I didn't disturb you."
"Hmph! I'm free now!"
"Great! Should I come tomorrow?" Alaric thought it would be good for Jane to get some rest.
"Now… Can't you come?" Jane asked uncertainly, her tone full of regret.
"Huh? Of course!" Alaric smacked his forehead, scolding himself for being stupid.
He immediately opened a portal and pulled Jane over.
"Alaric! I missed you so much!"
Jane flew into Alaric's arms and hugged him tightly.
"I missed you too!"
Alaric stroked Jane's cheek and kissed her.
After a long time, just as Alaric was about to "get going," Jane stopped his restless hands.
"I haven't showered in two days… After I finish showering…" Jane blushed.
"Let's go together!"
Alaric teleported Jane to the bathroom.
...
The next day.
In New Mexico, Thor woke up in a hospital, looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, and appeared confused.
"Where am I?"
"Ah, right! I was exiled from Asgard!!"
"This is Earth!"
"Wait! Is my uncle here?"
