Chapter 39: I Can Win This Time
"Are you okay, Gwen?"
Liz put down her camera and supported the swaying Gwen.
At this moment, Gwen's symptoms of headache not only did not alleviate but became more severe.
Her world buzzed like a giant bell, and the scratches on the ground just now seemed to disappear, leaving only a numb sensation.
"Well, it's finally over, but I'm still alive. Thank you, Gwen."
Liz looked at the broken camera in her hand, sighing helplessly, but soon she shifted all her attention to Gwen.
Seeing Gwen's condition not looking good, she thought that Gwen might have been injured while saving her just now.
Gwen breathed slightly, saying to Liz, "I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
"That doesn't seem like just a little dizziness."
Liz quickly reached into her backpack, took out a band-aid, and intended to stop the bleeding on Gwen's arm.
But soon she realized something was wrong—there was no wound where Gwen's arm was bleeding.
"Gwen, your arm!"
Liz held the band-aid, looking at Gwen in astonishment.
Just now, she clearly saw glass shards on Gwen's arm, leaving a long bloodstain.
"I'm really fine, Liz."
Gwen didn't notice Liz's astonishment. She covered her dizzy forehead with one hand and asked Liz, "Did you see Peter?"
"Peter? No, I didn't see him."
Liz shook her head, shifting her gaze away from Gwen's arm.
Perhaps she had seen it wrong just now.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Liz took out her phone, ready to call for emergency assistance.
Perhaps Gwen was injured in a way she didn't know, after all, she had thrown herself over to save Liz just now.
After dialing the emergency number, Liz received a news alert on her phone.
Opening the link, a live broadcast appeared on the screen.
"Is that... the birdman from earlier?!"
Liz looked at the live broadcast in shock.
Gwen also leaned over to look at the screen.
A birdman in a flight suit was battling a robot on a speeding subway.
Any misstep could result in them falling off the train's roof, making it extremely dangerous.
Just when they thought the birdman would be defeated by the robot, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared.
Clad in black attire, exuding deep mystery.
With a single punch, the opponent dealt with the robot and effortlessly kicked the birdman off the train.
Liz's mouth hung open as she stared at the mysterious figure in the video.
"Is this... a superhero from the comics?"
Why did it seem so easy for him to defeat the powerful birdman and robot?!
Gwen also felt shocked as she watched the mysterious person in the video.
When she saw the robot launching a surprise attack towards the person inside the train, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Be careful!"
"Boom!"
The black thread struck the robot's face, sending it flying mid-air.
Seeing this scene, Gwen breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly a word popped into her mind—Spider-Man.
"Spider-Man!"
Liz also had the same thought and exclaimed, "He should be called Spider-Man. He looks like a spider and can shoot webs and stuff."
Well, calling him Spider-Man sounded good.
If only she could become like him, that would be great.
Gwen couldn't help but indulge in wild thoughts.
No, she's a girl, so she should be called Spider-Woman, or maybe Gwen-Spider.
As she was lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang.
"Dad, it's me. Yes, I'm at the Natural History Museum in New York."
"What?!"
Hearing her father mention that the subway's terminus was the museum, Gwen immediately exclaimed.
She looked around at the still crowded Natural History Museum.
"Get out of there, Gwen."
George Stacy's voice was filled with urgency, "If the subway can't stop, it's likely to crash into the museum."
"Gwen, are you listening to me? Gwen?!"
At this moment, Gwen, preoccupied, didn't respond to her father's words. Instead, she rushed to the fire alarm.
"Boom!" With a punch, she broke the protective cover and pressed the fire alarm.
"Rumble!"
The distant rumble of the subway seemed to be rapidly approaching.
The piercing sound of the fire alarm quickly drowned out the faint sound of the subway.
Now, there was no time to notify everyone to evacuate, this was the only way.
With no time to consider why she suddenly became so strong, Gwen grabbed Liz's hand and ran outside.
Liz also heard Gwen's conversation with her father, and in a daze, Gwen dragged her outside before she could react.
Standing on the empty ground outside, Liz listened to the approaching subway's rumble, subconsciously grabbing Gwen's arm, who was about to enter the museum again.
"No, it's too late, come with me, Gwen."
"I can't, there are still people inside, I can't leave."
Gwen shook off Liz's hand and ran back into the museum.
"Damn it!"
Inside the rushing police car, George Stacy, full of anxiety, hammered the seat heavily.
"I'm still here, Dad, but I need to help evacuate the people here. I need some time."
Just when he was extremely anxious, Gwen's voice suddenly came through the phone.
"It's too late, Gwen, you have to leave there!"
"Aren't you always saying I'm a lucky girl? Maybe this time I can outrun the subway."
George Stacy suppressed the urge to curse, "You're a human, Gwen, you can't outrun a subway."
Gwen hung up her phone, switched to speaker mode, and called Peter.
After her sprint just now, although she didn't sweat and didn't feel tired, her breathing became more and more rapid.
"Peter, are you okay? Where are you?"
Gwen quickly asked Peter.
"I'm fine, Gwen. Are you still at the museum?"
"Yes."
Gwen listened to the increasingly closer rumble of the subway and helped the panicked people outside.
She found herself becoming unusually strong, effortlessly pulling adults out.
"The runaway subway is about to pass, don't stay there, Gwen."
"I'll leave immediately, don't worry, Peter."
After hearing Peter say the same words as her father, Gwen assured him.
After hanging up the phone, Gwen sighed heavily.
Her conversations with her father and Peter just now must have disappointed them.
Stubborn, likes to show off, and brings trouble to others.
As such a crazy girl, she must be causing them endless headaches, right?
