CHAPTER 10: Made me so comfortable

(Gained a superpower...?)

Arthur looked at Gwen with some doubts, and translating her words meant more or less that.

'I acquired a superpower, but now I don't know what to do.'

(But how did Gwen get her powers?)

(No, wait... I believe there is a universe in Marvel comics in which she was the one bitten by the radioactive spider instead of Peter Parker.)

Arthur immediately remembered one of Marvel's alternative universes.

More precisely on Earth-65, where the person bitten by the radioactive spider was not Peter Parker, but Gwen.

Later, Gwen became that universe's Spider-Woman, and at some point in the comics, her codename changed from Spider-Woman to Ghost Spider.

(If I remember correctly, shortly after she becomes Spider-Woman, her classmate and best friend Peter Parker attempts to become a superhero, inventing a serum that turns him into the Earth-65 version of the Lizard.)

Arthur realized that the Gwen in front could be the Gwen of that land, but that also meant he wasn't in the main Marvel universe...

Immediately afterward, Arthur remembered that Gwen fainted at the gate of his mansion yesterday for no reason.

It was around that time when he established that suppression field.

Could it be that...

"Gwen, did you happen to feel uncomfortable when you entered my mansion?"

Hearing Arthur's question.

Gwen nodded immediately, "Well, I felt a strange sensation in my body."

The next moment, under Arthur's operation, a dialog box appeared in front of him.

[Do you want to list Gwen Stacy as invalid for the suppression field?]

(Yes!)

[Gwen Stacy has been successfully listed as invalid to the suppression field.]

At the same time, Gwen felt completely weightless, as if the shackles that bound her had been released.

"And now? How do you feel"

"Arthur, that's incredible."

"I feel great now! What did you do?"

Gwen stood up and moved excitedly.

Looking at Gwen's reaction, Arthur is almost certain that Gwen in front of him is the future Spider-Woman.

She must have awakened her powers yesterday, but it was suppressed by the suppression field.

Then she suddenly fainted at the gate of the mansion.

In other words, yesterday he accidentally caught Spider-Woman!

Although Gwen didn't know what happened, the feeling of comfort was real.

"What I did is a secret, I believe you feel much better now, don't you?"

"Yes, Arthur, you are amazing."

"It made me so comfortable..."

As soon as this was said, Gwen realized something was wrong and sat down immediately.

She blushed to the base of her neck.

(Dammit dammit dammit!)

(How could I say that kind of thing in front of Arthur!? What if he thinks I'm a perverted girl!?)

Arthur didn't think much about such unintentional comments.

Just ignore it, there will be better opportunities in the future.

"Then let's talk about what happened now."

"So what you mean is that your friend is a little confused right now after gaining powers and doesn't know what to do with them."

"At the same time, are you also afraid that these powers will hurt them?"

Arthur deliberately takes the word "friend" very seriously, emphasizing that he is only talking about Gwen's friend.

He wasn't talking about Gwen herself.

"That's right, that's it!"

Gwen nodded vigorously, and every word Arthur said hit home.

(It was right for me to come and talk to Arthur.)

But this time Arthur felt that the situation was a little difficult.

In his past life, Arthur knew more about the main Marvel universe's version of Spider-Man Peter Parker.

He didn't know much about Gwen's version or other versions.

How could he enlighten her?

Suddenly, Arthur saw the glass full of water on the table and his eyes lit up.

(There is a way!!)

"Gwen, if I were you, I would show your friend that glass of water."

"Hm? Water?"

Gwen also looked curiously at the glass of water on the table.

Then she looked at Arthur curiously, without waiting for her to ask a question, Arthur spoke first: "The answer your friend wants is in this glass of water."

"You understand?"

At that moment, Arthur felt like one of those psychics on the side of the road.

A single sentence: "Do you understand?" saved countless lost lambs.

Gwen looked at the water in the glass and saw nothing.

But she believed that Arthur wouldn't lie to her.

After watching for a while, Gwen, who didn't sleep well last night, began to feel sleepy under the lazy sun.

In the next moment, she lightly fell asleep on the recliner.

The sound of even, calm breathing reached Arthur's ears, and he turned his head to see Gwen.

"This water has this kind of function…"

Being able to make people fall asleep is something Arthur didn't expect.

After enjoying the sun for a while, Arthur stretched out on the armchair: "It's time to write."

"We will see..."

Arthur felt a little tired at the thought of having to write for an hour every day.

"When this book is finished, I'm going to take some time off and have a nice trip."

Arthur hadn't dared to go out for a while before because he didn't have enough strength to protect himself.

But now it's different.

With the Superman model, he has confidence that he can protect himself from most things.

Back in the room, Arthur immediately got to work and successfully turned in the manuscript an hour later.

As soon as it was sent, the phone rang immediately.

Arthur looked and saw it was his editor's phone number.

When he answered the phone, the editor was the first to speak: "Mr. Morgan, is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"

"Of course, what's the problem?"

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to adapt your books? Let me help you research some top studios."

Arthur nodded.

At that time, his idea was that because they were books that he brought from his previous world, they should be done more completely, they should be adapted into films or series.

"A studio contacted me and wanted to talk to you about this cooperation."

"When you are free, they will come to your house to find you."

"No, I don't want people to know the location of my house. You can send me the company address and contact information later."

"I'll negotiate a meeting with them myself."

After a moment of silence on the other end: "Okay, Mr. Morgan, I will send you their address and phone number right away."

A short time later, a message arrived.

Arthur clicked it open: "Fisk Universal Pictures?"
