Marvel's Speedster

The day that was expected by all parties came soon.

Before seven o'clock, the golden sunlight in the morning had flooded the entire bedroom through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Ross dragged Lai Chuang's girlfriend and helped her change clothes. The two had a quick breakfast before sending her to the car .

"Do you still remember what you are going to do today?" Before leaving, he asked through the car window.

"Definitely", the lazy Mary Jane exudes a strong femininity, throwing a wen at her boyfriend charmingly. "I'm going to stay in the lab obediently and cheer on your employees so they can cheer up and work hard."

"That's right, beautiful women are infinitely charming, believe in yourself", Ross gave her a thumbs up, squinted his eyes and smiled, bent down and kissed the girl's smooth face, and then turned to Sabretooth Victor who was sitting in the passenger seat. He waved his hand to signal them to leave.

"Remember Ross, I want to give you a surprise----", amidst the girl's voice, the car slowly drove out of 57th Street.

"There will definitely be a surprise, and I will personally dedicate it to the whole world. As for now, I am going to the battlefield, and I hope my lovely friends will not be late," he murmured, and put on a miniature headset for himself.

This day is the day of the famous local corporate Thanksgiving Day parade, which began in 1924 and has a history of 80 years. It will be held on time on the fourth Thursday of November every year, even during the Great War. In the beginning, it was just an activity used by local companies to promote their brand image and ease labor-management relations, but today, it has become an extremely grand Thanksgiving celebration, attracting millions of people to watch along the way every year, tens of millions of people Watch the broadcast on TV.

As a well-known rookie in the local business circle, Ross was definitely invited by the organizers. The attendees were all senior executives of major companies, including the major shareholder of Osborn.

In this way, including Ross, the bait is basically ready, and an excellent mobile phone opportunity is in front of us. Mr. Green Goblin, who loves the limelight, will not be temporarily frightened by too many audiences.

At nine o'clock, a parade of 10,000 people composed of employees of local companies set off from the intersection of 77th Street and Central Park West Avenue to officially kick off the parade. Their team included more than 1,000 cheerleaders and hundreds of Jokers , ten bands and multiple giant cartoon image balloons.

When the parade approached, people who had already been waiting on both sides of the road applauded, especially when the cartoon stars who were several floors high were dragged slowly by the car, both adults and children cheered With screams, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely warm.

This is just a pre-dinner dessert. When the team went around for a week and entered the destination of the parade - Bethesda Fountain Square in Central Park, in the core area of ​​the park between the lake and the shade, people from all over the United States The most popular entertainers will join forces on stage.

As far as Ross knows, Mary Jane is very envious of these lucky big-name stars, but her qualifications and popularity are too shallow, and it is only a matter of heaven if she wants to play here.

After getting out of the car, Ross kept shaking hands with strangers, especially when he saw the two major shareholders of Osborn, he waved and greeted them, but he didn't go forward. He walked back and forth among the crowd of entrepreneurs and executives , while talking to unspecified passers-by, if a very careful observer has been paying attention to him, he may find his throat trembling slightly. Want to participate in the topic, but don't know how to join the relatively conservative circle of friends.

In fact, he just used the throat microphone to talk to the doctor who was far away in the laboratory.

"Doctor, can you see me? How's the lab?" Ross' voice came to 97th Street clearly through the tiny drone hovering in mid-air, only the size of a sparrow file.

"It can be seen", Connors sat in front of the screen and gave a short report. "At the laboratory side, the monitoring found a sniper ambushing on the opposite building, which is one of the three best shooting locations you pointed out in advance. Marco has already walked across the road and is now approaching that building. As soon as Green Goblin appears Go up and deal with him."

"Great start, but stay vigilant," Ross warned. Sniper rifles are not a novelty nowadays, but their lethality is still astonishing. Excellent firearms fire faster than sound. If two people are talking face to face, and suddenly one of them sees his friend’s head broken, then It was several seconds before he heard the gunshot.

It seems that this is a surprise specially prepared by Green Goblin for Dr. Lizard, but since it is discovered in advance, the threat is greatly reduced. The other party's fund account is monitored in real time by Ross through the banking system, so there is no need to worry too much about suddenly being caught by the sniper. Another killer jumped out.

After the exchange of messages, Ross took a glass of wine from the tray of the passing waiter, covering the conversation with wine tasting. "Everything is developing as expected, pay attention to observe the changes, and contact in time if there is any situation. In addition, Todd's command power has been handed over to you. He can move according to the fountain as the center of the circle. I will notify you in advance if you need help."

"Understood", Connors solemnly promised, although Toad's image is wretched but not as conspicuous as others, so he is more suitable for public activities.

The earphones fell silent, and at the moment two women in costumes walked up to Ross.

"Hi," one of them smiled and held out a hand, a woman Ross didn't expect to meet here.

"Susan Storm", the person reported her Name, this is a hot blonde beauty with a mixed-race appearance, she looked at Ross with a smile, and dragged Ross's acquaintance with the other hand, Stark's Secretary Miss Pepper.

Ever since the Daily Bugle and other gossip tabloids claimed that the two had an ambiguous relationship, Miss Secretary had never met Ross again, and it was the first time they met until now. It seems that if Susan hadn't dragged her here, Pei Po may still keep his distance from the object of his rumors.

After a brief chat, Susan made no secret of her curiosity and intention of coming. She knew that Pepper was very unhappy in the company after losing her backer, so she wanted to use Ross, an unknown acquaintance, to persuade her to switch to her boyfriend's company.

"Pepper is a very smart person, not only smart, but also capable. We used to know it when we were in State University--by us, I mean me and Victor, and definitely this one--" Susan pointed to the man approaching, her tone was a little cold, but when she turned to Ross, she smiled again.

"We are all classmates at the state university, and we are your seniors."

Susan said with a smile.

"I heard from my mentor that Mr. Richards said, I'm Ross." Ross reached out and shook his hand. He recognized this person as the future leader of the Fantastic Four, known as one of the smartest people on earth. Reed Richards.

In the original timeline, soon Reed and his party will be irradiated in space, and the body structure will be mutated to produce various super abilities, creating their own legend.

But up to now, the Fantastic Four is just an impression in Ross's mind. The relationship between Reed and his ex-girlfriend Susan has not recovered, so as soon as she saw him approaching, Susan shut her mouth and stopped talking. .

But she didn't leave either, and stood side by side with Pepper, who had been silent and haggard, listening to the conversation between the two of Ross.

"I read your thesis, and the argument about human body strengthening is indeed very rigorous and precise. I tried to reason it myself and found that the conclusion is basically logical, but you don't seem to have considered ethical issues. Evolution will bring a series of problems that need to be solved. The trouble isn't just physical enhancement."

Reed entered into an academic discussion state as soon as they met, Ross raised his eyebrows, he didn't know whether the other party was born this way, or forced himself into this state to deliberately ignore the existence of his ex-girlfriend.

But no matter which one, it shows that he is not an interesting person to talk to. To get a pleasant person like Susan can only show that Reed is lucky enough.

Although Ross is not very willing to discuss academic issues with others at this time, but since it is mentioned, it can only be chatted.

"If you put the phenomenon in a transparent bottle for one-sided observation, it will indeed cause a lot of troubles, but when it is substituted into reality, the world originally keeps creating troubles and solving troubles at the same time. Just like biology textbooks often mention As an example, the phenomenon of light-colored birch moth adults changing from more to less in the Manchester area of ​​the United Kingdom can explain everything. The light-colored moths that are suitable for natural environment evolution are replaced by dark-colored moths that are more suitable for survival in environmental pollution backgrounds. , This shows that not only organisms are changing, but also the environment and the world originally are changing. I believe that the problems we worry about are not serious, and the changing society can originally absorb these factors.”

The two discussed this. Ross's argument was mainly to pave the way for future products. He didn't plan to create a potion that could really make people have Super strength, but it was difficult for Reed to understand the mood of entrepreneurs. He insisted that breaking the balance was abnormal. bad thing.

In the end, neither of them convinced the other, Ross didn't want to waste his efforts on a stubborn old man, and Reed couldn't overwhelm his junior with his knowledge, so their first meeting ended in an anticlimactic argument.

"Maybe it's what you think, but it depends on how drastic the change is. I still believe that a mutated individual will cause a lot of inconvenience to myself and my neighbors." At this time, Reed definitely didn't expect that he would soon become a rubber People, so he just raised his glass, and the two saluted each other and said goodbye.

Suzanne and Pepper next to her were so stunned that they almost lost the manners that ladies should have. It is not that they have received advanced education, but a lot of terms and examples are as incomprehensible as a bible to laymen, so from beginning to end After listening to it, they only left the impression of "excellent" and "completely incomprehensible".

Maybe even a little more emotionally.

Seeing the discussion between the two, Pepper undoubtedly thought of Stark, and Susan raised her opinion of Ross. Even her current boyfriend couldn't resist Reed's point of view for so long. Since college, Reed has been a top student. The nightmare of all academic competitors, today he finally met his match.

With this impression, Susan looked at Ross again, and felt differently about At the moment.

Ross's clothing style is simple yet elegant, with a well-proportioned and slender figure. Although the muscles cannot be seen through the clothes, it is by no means a bit weak like Reed's. The delicate skin on his face is carved out of marble. There is an unfathomable mystery in the depth of a pair of pupils.

Even Ms. Storm, who comes from the upper class and has seen many big shots, finds this temperament inconceivable. For a moment, she almost thinks that Ross is a noble prince strolling on the back of a pure white horse, while Reed is just standing on the road. A disgraced country farmer, even his boyfriend Victor seems too frivolous and arrogant compared to him.

Taking advantage of the moment of confusion, Pepper dragged Susan away with his backhand.

"Thank God!" After finally sending these people away, Ross relaxed, and then he felt someone approaching from behind, and when he turned around, he suddenly saw a person he absolutely didn't want to see here.

"MJ?" he exclaimed in surprise, if I remember correctly, this lady should stay in a safe lab, protected by Sabretooth and the doctor.

But he was not mistaken, the girl somehow tricked the dumbfounded Victor into slipping into the square by herself.

Mary Jane smiled like a flower, wearing a costume that looked like a medieval noble lady, her proud twin peaks were wrapped in bright red, and her whole body exuded a hot and spicy atmosphere that was completely opposite to that of autumn.

"I was invited by the organizer. They heard about us and gave me a chance to perform. Isn't it a surprise?"

The girl spun her body triumphantly, her red skirt fluttering up.

Ross was really pleasantly surprised.

Now he found himself having to think about changing his plans.

"Ross, Victor just came back alone, Mary Jane..."

The Doctor's hasty voice came through the headset, and Ross interrupted him.

"I know, she's right next to me now," he pursed his lips, giving a rare hesitation before giving the order. "Send Todd over here."

Toad was supposed to provide him with backup in times of danger, and now Ross needs him to provide protection for another.

"Recall Toad?" The Doctor jumped up from his chair in shock, forgetting Toad's name. "Protect Mary Jane?"

"Don't worry, I can handle them," Ross whispered with his arms around his girlfriend's waist.

"You're crazy!" growled the Doctor. "You forgot that Norman has a whole team of ability enhancers. The drug storage system in Osborn's clinical laboratory shows that all the physical strength enhancers have been used up. Calculated by the number of people he hired, if some people were not extraordinarily Gift, that is, Norman used more than one for himself."

"I understand, I understand everything, but please do as I say," Ross tried to reassure Connors and calm him down. "Trust me, they won't be trouble, I promise."

He comforted him several times, Connors muttered a few times in the earphone, and finally stopped talking.

But that doesn't mean the Doctor approves of Ross' decision, it's just that the long-awaited goal has finally appeared.

The iconic strange smile flashed across the sky, and then Green Goblin, who stepped on the glider, appeared in front of the world with a domineering posture in the eyes of everyone.
