American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

"You've made new food again?"

The moment she saw Luke, Annie practically sprung out of Gwen's body like a coil, her black form like a snake, its tail connected to the inside of Gwen's body, its head stretching four or five meters directly in front of Luke, looking excited. Gwen, who had been dragged along the way by Annie and almost walked with gusts of wind, looked embarrassed.

She quickly pushed Peter Parker beside her forward: "This is Peter Parker, I brought him here."

"Let him wait! His body is normal! We have more important things to deal with now, please prioritize things, okay?" Annie turned her head to look at her host with dissatisfaction, her dark face showing a clear displeasure, and her white eyes were full of disdain when they fell on Peter who was pushed forward.

"Your important thing is to ask me for food?" Luke put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, looked at Annie whose head was almost touching him, and said, then greeted the somewhat restrained and uneasy Peter. This was his examination target, he couldn't scare him. Really, this time he really just wanted to examine Peter's body, didn't want to do anything, at most draw some blood.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a physical examination. The whole process is just like I told Ms. Stacy, she will be there the whole time. She can even do some auxiliary work herself." Luke tried to reduce the other party's vigilance.

Peter did feel less wary after hearing Luke's words. Ever since he was bitten by the spider, he hadn't had a thorough and comprehensive examination of his body. He glanced at his girlfriend Gwen beside him, nodded, and asked, "What do I need to do?"

"Gwen is familiar with the instruments here, and she has also done corresponding examinations here, so you can let her take you there." Luke shrugged.

Peter's vigilance decreased a lot.

"What about me?" Annie stretched out a tentacle and pointed at herself.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to eat! The kind you just made. I smell it, you can't hide it from me!" Annie said confidently.

"Your obsession with food amazes me," Luke couldn't help but reply.

"That's because my first host was a space hunter, but his hunting methods were all focused on how to find food, and he didn't care whether the ingredients were raw or cold. He had an incomprehensible fanaticism for food. Then, because the prey he hunted was too powerful, he died in that hunt, and I was lucky enough to survive." Annie said without hesitation, "I lived with him for a long time, and his fanaticism for food was almost engraved in my genes."

"No good, no evil, just pure fanaticism for food."

"So, is it true that Venom said you once wanted to cook a pot of symbiotes?" Luke asked in astonishment.

"I just wanted to taste a taste I hadn't tasted before, but strictly speaking, I didn't succeed that time. It was just an idea. Venom was afraid of me because he was just one of the things in the pot at the time," Annie said calmly. "So, can I eat the new food now?"

"No," Luke shook his head.

Annie's face changed obviously, with a hint of meaning that she would start to act shamelessly to show Luke.

"The original liquid is still too little now, and it hasn't been filtered, so I don't think it's suitable as food," Luke said the reason before Annie could start her three-piece begging set.

"I can eat anything, don't worry about me getting a stomachache," Annie argued.

"No, that's not the reason, it's because the original liquid has the ability to affect people's emotions. And obviously, your emotions are an obvious big problem," Luke shook his head.

"What's the problem?" Annie asked to get to the bottom of it, trying to make her give up the food at her mouth, that was a big test.

"I can't let you have a 'drunken spree', understand?" Luke rolled his eyes: "If phenethylamine is food for you, a condiment, and soul gems are hard dishes, then the original liquid is like wine, or high-proof liquor. You are already a foodie, I don't want you to become a drunkard again. Especially, I can't let you take the opportunity to have a 'drunken spree'."

Thinking about a symbiote having a "drunken spree" in this city, Nick Fury would probably grind his teeth to pieces. Luke didn't want to face his dark face when nothing was happening.

"Is there no negotiation?" Annie was still unwilling to give up.

"You need to wait. Little Hub and the two of them haven't eaten it yet, as a mother, you shouldn't be anxious. You at least need to wait until I have filtered the original liquid before eating it," Luke said.

"I don't recognize that," Annie saw that Luke was impervious to salt and oil, and a little calculation had already started in her heart.

"Don't think about stealing food. You definitely can't stand those unfiltered original liquids. Don't split out your other consciousnesses as well. You guys have a drunken spree together in Hebron." Luke keenly noticed Annie's abnormality. Facing food and easily retreating, this was not in line with her character. She dared to snatch food from Little Hub for the soul gems.

For a bite of food, she wasn't even afraid of the flame burns that the symbiote feared the most, would she easily retreat under Luke's few words?

"I won't," Annie said angrily, roaring with her big mouth when her thoughts were exposed.

"It's best if you don't, otherwise I'll cut off your meals." Luke easily spat out a deadline under Annie's desperate gaze: "Starting from ten years."

"Cutting off meals, cutting off meals, it's cutting off meals again!" Annie muttered and shrank back into her host's body, completely shutting herself off.

Peter's physical examination didn't take too long, about an hour or so, Peter and Gwen took his physical examination report and said goodbye to Luke. Of course, some of the blood drawn during the examination was still kept in the laboratory.

……

"Master, Nick Fury is calling."

Luke, who was studying Peter's blood in the laboratory, heard the White Queen's notification.

"Two things."

As soon as the call was connected, Nick's big face was projected by the White Queen on the virtual screen in the void. Nick in the screen looked serious and his tone was very solemn.

"First, we haven't found the mages living in this city, but the good news is that the agents I sent to Nepal have found some traces of the mages. Our agents have already made contact with some of them."

"That's really good news, so, what's the second thing?" Luke expressed acceptance of this result where the east was not bright but the west was bright.

"Second, there is a message from there."

"What message?"

"That Supreme Mage is only willing to meet three people. One is you, one is Tony Stark, and the other is a surgeon named Stephen Strange!"
