"I guess I still end up paying you, my little assistant~"
Evan ran his hands through Skye's hair, gently tilting her head back.
The girls were getting so close—he wasn't about to just sit back.
With Jessica's allowance, he could have both of them around.
"Woo~"
Skye's body tensed before she slowly relaxed, responding to Evan's touch. He felt her legs wrap around his waist, gradually tightening.
If Jessica's legs were slender and graceful, Skye's were rounded and perfectly balanced.
The two of them grew more enthusiastic, getting closer by the minute as they bantered and playfully tested each other. By the quiet riverside, they indulged in their moment, while the swans occasionally called out.
A passerby caught sight of them and tried to sneak a photo, only to be thwarted by a sudden gust of sand and wind. Frustrated, they gave up and moved on.
Naturally, Evan had summoned the wind to prevent any unwanted photos, even though he and Skye were fully clothed. He just didn't want the moment caught on camera.

"Gwen, you won't believe it—Uncle George keeps asking if I've been out acting as Knightress again," Jessica complained. "Every time I go out, I'm terrified he's going to catch me."
Gwen chuckled, clearly amused. "You're the one who got caught."
"Yeah, not everyone's a natural actor like you." Jessica rolled her eyes. "No wonder you wouldn't wear cosplay to the party, you idolized Ghost Spider!"
Gwen playfully shot out a web, snaring two cans of soda from the table. She handed one to Jessica. "You're better at this than you think. At least your big brother gets it."
Jessica took the soda, eyeing Gwen's wrist. "Your web shooters are so cool! Did you build them yourself?"
"Of course I did! My grades aren't high for nothing." Gwen frowned. "But they still need an upgrade. I keep running out of webbing too quickly."
"I've been practicing my flying skills too," Jessica said, placing her hands on her lap. "Evan's been giving me pointers."
"Yeah, he's always there when we need him." Gwen's face softened into a smile. "I really do adore him~"
Jessica teased, "Aw, I didn't expect the Ghost Spider to be a romantic! If your fanboys knew you were so into a guy, their hearts would shatter."
"Let them. I only care about Evan, not what others think~"
"Are you going to reveal your identity to him?"
Gwen hesitated. "I think he'd be fine with it… I just haven't found the right moment."
In the past, she'd worried that revealing her other life might disrupt Evan's. But now, with Jessica's powers known, it felt less significant.
"I've got an idea~" Jessica leaned in conspiratorially. "You should have him come meet you under the pretense of the club connecting with Ghost Spider. Then, take off the mask and surprise him! He'll love it!"
"Um, I don't know…"
"Come on, come on, trust me!"
Jessica grinned, clearly delighted with her own plan. "Our club has three members—four, now that Skye joined us! Together, no supervillain stands a chance!"
Gwen shook her head in amusement. Wasn't this supposed to be my fan club? When did things go so off track?
What neither of them realized was that the small goal Jessica set today would turn the Ghost Spider Club into a force to be reckoned with. Someday, the name of their superhero group would echo throughout the universe.

[Vibration Ability loaded]

Evan received his system rewards.
Strange. Skye hadn't activated any powers yet, so how did he load her skill template? And why hadn't he gotten a response from Stephen?
Then he thought about Dr. Banner, who'd never triggered any tasks.
Could it be that he could only trigger tasks with female heroes? Was he really destined to just be a guy living off them?
This… was actually pretty great.
But he didn't mind.
"Skye, what should we do next~?"
Evan held Skye close, who was feeling relaxed in his arms. "How about we try out the classic intern-assistant and teacher routine?"
"Teacher~" Skye whispered. "My real name's Daisy Johnson."
"I'm more used to calling you Skye."
"Teacher, whatever you want~" Skye looped her legs around his and leaned in with a pouty look. "After all, to avoid getting fired, this intern assistant has to follow all her teacher's instructions~"
Evan chuckled, glancing at the nearby street. "Skye, maybe we should save this for somewhere more private."
"Ah!" Skye exclaimed, coming back to reality. She quickly released him, realizing they were still in public.
—
From afar, a blonde beauty observed, her brows furrowing.
Skye, Daisy Johnson—marked by S.H.I.E.L.D. as a person of interest, was being charmed by a man.
And this lazy artist, Evan Li, wasn't just involved with Skye…
