Chapter 200: Little Spider-Man's Human Tragedy
The three girls were stunned to witness their greatest idol, the most powerful Avenger and the hero who defeated Thanos, facing domestic troubles. It felt as though their admiration had been shattered...
"I heard that Black Widow is Russian, right? The rate of domestic violence in that country seems quite high..."
A girl with white hair said weakly.
Gwen Stacy nodded: "You guessed it right. They are actually men being abused by women!"
"Felicia Hardy was born in Queens, New York. Her father, Walter Hardy, appears to be a salesman, but in reality, he's a notorious thief. This information is recorded in SHIELD's files."
The girl, who had just vented her frustrations, felt much better. Though her blows had little effect on Thor's steel body, her hand was sore...
Thor was momentarily stunned. He recognized this character from comics, a partner of Spider-Man.
A moment of silence for Little Spider-Man!
At a university in New York, Peter Parker suddenly sneezed.
"Peter, are you okay?" MJ asked with concern.
"Oh, it's nothing," Little Spider-Man muttered with a puzzled look. "I just have this strange feeling of malice..."
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he looked at MJ and said, "MJ, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time but never had the courage to say. I've been worried that if I tell you, it might affect our relationship with our friends. But now, I've finally decided that I must tell you..."
"You're Spider-Man, aren't you?" MJ interrupted his heartfelt confession.
"Um... how did you know?"
Peter Parker's heart sank, but he had finally gathered the courage...
"She has exceptional balance, flexibility, strength, and extensive hand-to-hand combat experience. She's fully capable of performing as a gymnast and acrobat at an extremely high level," Natalia continued with the introduction.
Thor recalled the information about the girl and suddenly asked, "Little girl, do you have something else to share?"
"Huh?" Natalia's demeanor shifted instantly; she was now alert and intense, like a predator ready to strike.
Felicia shuddered and turned pale.
"Okay, you scared her. It's not as bad as you think," Thor chuckled, pulling Natalia back. "Everyone has their secrets. As long as there's no ill intent, it's fine. I was just mentioning it casually."
Natalia glared at him. If it weren't for this sweet little girl, would you be so lenient?
Felicia hesitated and then said, "I'm sorry. I just didn't want to expose any secrets. I didn't hide it intentionally. But since it's you, it should be alright!"
Natalia relaxed and continued listening.
"I was injected with the super soldier serum years ago!"
"What? That's impossible!" Natalia's eyes widened with disbelief. "The super soldier serum is long out of production. There's only one Captain America, and the last batch was destroyed."
Thor waved his hand, signaling her to continue.
"Many years ago, during Captain America's experiment, a child sneaked into the lab and recorded all the experimental equations and serum formulas. That child was my father."
"For years, my father kept his identity secret and even turned himself in to SHIELD, thinking it was the safest place. He didn't expect someone would discover him."
"For my safety, my father didn't reveal his connection to me. He injected me with the serum so I could protect myself."
Thor nodded; the story aligned with what he knew.
As for the forces searching for them, mainly HYDRA and Kingpin, HYDRA was no longer a threat, and Kingpin could be handled with a simple greeting.
The super soldier serum is highly coveted by mortals, but it holds little appeal for him.
"Now that you're on this island, you have nothing to worry about," Thor reassured her and turned to the last girl.
He noticed that the girl had calluses on her hands.
