Chapter 157 Birthday(1/2)
On August 9, more than a week had passed since the war. The aftermath of the war had not yet subsided, and the media feast had just begun.
The street newspapers and TV news in the windows were once again filled with the image of Batman, but this time in addition to Batman's iconic mask, information about Peter Parker himself and photos of the Ghost Spider-Man were also interspersed.
In it.
Batman's true identity, the boy who resurrected from the dead, the former wanted criminal Spider-Man, love.
Each keyword added together can increase the popularity of this news several times.
In fact, Eddie was originally confident that he could make this news a national hit, but unfortunately due to the interference of S.H.I.E.L.D. and certain forces, Eddie's report had to exclude information about S.H.I.E.L.D., the U.S. military and Green
The Hulk scenes and even the scene where Peter kills everyone have to be deleted a lot.
Hulk's information is still classified as top secret because it involves the Super Soldier Serum. As for SHIELD and the US military's secret operations in the country, they naturally do not want to be exposed, not to mention that their image in this incident is too negative.
In the end, the only thing that could be published was the tepid news that Peter and his team fought against the local gang and captured its leader.
But Eddie finally tried his best to make a big news.
Since he had already discussed with Peter that he would find an opportunity to reveal his true identity in the future and bind this huge reputation to himself, Eddie naturally regarded this incident as an excellent opportunity.
The photos provided by S.H.I.E.L.D. as compensation opened his mind and decided to focus on Batman's true identity and his relationship with Spider-Man, so this news came into being.
p>
This is almost a brilliant idea.
Originally, it was a lot of luck that Peter was able to gain this huge reputation by impersonating Batman, giving a speech and a series of campaigns.
After all, everyone knows that the person in front of them is just a fake wearing Batman armor. Although he has indeed restored the image in the comics, he cannot be the resourceful and taciturn old man in the comics.<
/p>
And when Peter takes off his mask, although he can bind this reputation to himself, this reputation will inevitably decline because he exposes the people's illusions and expectations.
But when the focus of this news changed from simply revealing Batman's true identity to adding his romance with Ghost Spider-Man, everything changed completely.
First of all, we have to thank Jameson for sparing no effort to smear Spider-Man, which made Peter Parker, the poor boy who "died" at the hands of Spider-Man, known to everyone.
So people's focus almost immediately was on discussing whether the relationship between the two was "the dead boy fell in love with the ghost Spider-Man who killed him and finally did not hesitate to play Batman to get close to the other person and finally achieved success" or "was
The boy who was killed had a hidden agenda. After being resurrected, he insisted on justice and finally attracted the ghost Spider-Man."
Conjectures about the relationship between the two have almost occupied the front pages of all forums, and even the hosts and guests on many programs are happy to raise conjectures one after another and start discussions.
Even if Peter and Gwen take the initiative to explain and explain, this matter will never be concluded. After all, it can be said that there is too much room for imagination, so the people and the media who were ignited by the gossip suddenly suddenly
Instead of resisting Peter impersonating Batman because of his broken dream, the popularity of Peter Parker and Ghost Spider-Man has been rising, even easily overshadowing the momentum for the US presidential election in November.
And Ghost Spider-Man has not escaped the fate of being thoroughly investigated. Although the media that criticized her before have analyzed a lot of information that is too Gwen, only this time the public is very close to the truth.
After all, the exposure of Peter Parker's identity and the "romance" between Batman and Ghost Spider-Man almost pointed the way for them. Many people familiar with Peter and Gwen almost immediately guessed the identity of Ghost Spider-Man, and then
Later, they found a lot of evidence to support their conjecture.
As a result, the story between Gwen and Peter also surfaced. As classmates and teachers who were familiar with their story broke the news, it instantly sparked a wave of gossip.
Everything is just as Nick Fury guessed, Peter and Gwen have been caught up in the media wave, and the media will definitely keep a close eye on the two and enjoy this feast.

However, the two people at the center of the topic disappeared. Let alone speak, they did not even show up for a whole week
So many fans and reporters once again surrounded the gate of the Bernano family estate, and this time the number of people was several times more than before.
And today, many fans each held some exquisitely packaged gadgets in their hands, and then threw them into the manor with all their strength.
However, these people are not retaliating or resisting Peter and Gwen. On the contrary, what they throw into the manor are gifts they have carefully prepared.
Due to the media's detailed investigation, they almost all learned that the birthdays of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy were August 9th and August 10th, and today is their birthday.
...
...
"Dong dong dong..."
A soft knock on the door woke Peter up from his light sleep. He propped himself up and looked at the door with half-open eyes. Butler Cotton was standing there upright. When Peter woke up, his calm face showed a smile.
With a faint smile, he said as softly as possible:
"Miss Diane asked me to remind you that most of the guests coming to the birthday party have already arrived. She hopes that you two protagonists can show up first."
The two Peters glanced around in confusion, and sure enough they found Gwen lying beside his bed with her head sideways, breathing steadily, but her brows were tightly furrowed, wondering what she was dreaming about.

Since using the transformation skill, Peter has fallen into a strange state of weakness. Although his body has become stronger due to absorbing a large amount of life force, his "inner" has been severely damaged.
During the transformation, he glimpsed the secrets of too many people and merged with the spirits and lives of too many people. This made his spirit stronger, but his "self" became smaller and weaker in front of the huge spirit.
It is worth mentioning that if this continues, Peter's "self" will probably be integrated into a huge spiritual assembly and become a part of this "hidden devil" rather than the dominant one.
Fortunately, the appearance of Gwen finally woke him up from that weird state and allowed him to regain himself, but even so, Peter fell into an extremely sleepy state for a period of time, sleeping for almost twelve hours a day.
, coupled with the fact that the medicine Gwen injected into him relieved the lizard-man mutation in his body to a certain extent, making him even weaker, which directly caused him to need to be fed for several days.
Gwen took the initiative to take care of Peter. Even though Peter has basically recovered, she still comes to stay with Peter when she has time.
Peter nodded helplessly to Cotton, who did not stay any longer and left quietly.
And Peter was not in a hurry to get up. He leaned his tired body against the head of the bed and gently smoothed Gwen's frown with one hand.
The quiet afternoon sun quietly penetrates through the clouds, and the silhouette of the window lattice is reflected on the brown floor, flickering brightly and dimly.
A comfortable breeze came into the room, gently lifting the ends of Gwen's golden hair, mixed with a wisp of her hair fragrance, and floated away.
Finally feeling comfortable and comfortable, the frown on Gwen's brow was slowly smoothed away, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Time seemed to freeze for a short time, and a strange peaceful atmosphere filled the air.
I don’t know how long it took before Gwen woke up from her sleep with a sigh, and saw Peter gently stroking her eyebrows with his hand. Her cheeks were slightly red, but then she immediately asked nervously:
p>
"How are you feeling today? Are you feeling well? If you are not feeling well, why not cancel this birthday party? We will have no problem rescheduling it in the future."
Facing Gwen's series of questions, Peter just smiled and shook his head. He actually didn't care about the birthday party. After all, this birthday belonged to the past Peter Parker, so for him, the real protagonist of this birthday was actually Gwen.
.
Since his and Gwen's birthdays were only one day apart, their two families would hold a birthday party for both of them on the 9th since they were children. This tradition continued until the day Peter was "murdered"
.
After Diane learned about this tradition, she took the initiative to organize a birthday party for them, planning to restart this tradition for them.
Peter refused Gwen's support and gently got up from the bed and walked to the window. A simple stage had been set up on the grass outside the window, and a long table several meters long and plates were set up near the stage.
Delicious food for everyone to take.
Although the scale and luxury of this arrangement are relatively "simple" compared to the parties held by the Bernano family in the past, it is also the common request of Peter and Gwen.
Compared to luxurious balls, exquisite outfits and breathless social venues, they prefer birthday parties where they can relax and enjoy themselves.
For Peter and Gwen, who have just encountered many incidents and battles, this kind of relaxation is what they urgently need.
Under the stage, although there were not many people gathered, they were all familiar faces.
Brothers and sisters Wanda and Pietro, who have always lived here, will naturally not be absent. At this time, Wanda was holding Yansen, who was taken to New York after recovering from his injury, with a look of surprise and talking non-stop, while Pietro followed.
Next to Pepper, who came with Tony, the black cat Felicia recently got her revenge, and the iceberg on her face finally melted. Although her deal and agreement with Peter have ended, she has no intention of leaving for the time being.
.
Uncle Ben, Aunt May, and Uncle George were brought into the mansion early as relatives of Peter and Gwen, and most of the others were friends of Peter and Gwen, such as Gwen's band member, Mary Jane,
Glory, Betty, and even the former Prowler and now a good employee, Aaron Davis, also attended with his female companion Kristen Palmer.
And Eddie, who had just made explosive news, also came to the scene in a low-key manner.
As for Diane, as the host of the banquet, she also attended the party early, but because she still had to worry about Peter's plan and the aftermath of the previous incident, someone would hand her a tablet and documents from time to time.

Looking at the laughing crowd on the grass, Peter couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
It has only been half a month since he came here, but he has already established so many connections...
Peter subconsciously turned back to look at Gwen, only to find that Gwen was also looking at him with concern, and the smile on Peter's face couldn't help but deepen a bit.
Under Gwen's incomprehensible eyes, Peter casually found a coat to put on, and then invited Gwen to attend their birthday party. Gwen's change of clothes was much simpler, and the symbiote quickly transformed with just one thought.
Her wish was fulfilled and transformed into a beautiful white dress.
Then Gwen took Peter's arm and walked out with Peter, half-supporting and half-supporting.
Speaking of which...when is his real birthday now?
On the way, Peter was bored and thinking, should it be the birthday in the past? No, the mercenary who rushed to the battlefield for money in the past was already dead, so what about the day when he crawled out of the coffin and was reborn? Listen.
It seems good, but I always feel like something is wrong.
Just when Peter was slightly entangled, Gwen suddenly spoke up and planned Peter's thoughts.
