After eating and drinking, Petra had a good time, and gradually let go of the initial discomfort.

After failing to try alcoholic beverages, she decisively abandoned these expensive drinks and turned to soda and juice.The buffet is also very suitable for a person with a big appetite like her. While eating, occasionally someone who is interested in her will come up to talk to her.

After the end, Happy drove her home as usual, and it wasn't too late when she arrived at the apartment downstairs.

As soon as Petra got out of the car, she saw Mei standing at the door of the apartment. She didn't look like she happened to come downstairs to take out the trash, but more like she had been waiting for her to come back.

Before going out, Petra told herself the approximate time to go home, but she didn't know how long May had been waiting here—what happened so anxiously?She thought about it, and rushed forward, but Mei seemed to be in a hurry to send her away, greeted her briefly, motioned her to go upstairs first with her eyes, and then turned to the man in the car.

"I want to talk to you, Mr. Stark," she said quietly.

May's tone was not very serious, but Petra was a little concerned about the slight frown of her brows and the embarrassment on her face.Although she tried her best to show that there was nothing important, Tony should have sensed something. He opened the car door and walked down with a slightly condensed expression. He waved his hands without looking back and told Happy to wait outside first.

Happy looked at the two of them cautiously, and drove the car out without saying a word.Petra was a little curious about what Mei wanted to talk about—it should be related to her, right? ——But after all, I didn't have the nerve to hide in the corner and eavesdrop on the conversation of the elders, and walked into the elevator step by step.

As soon as she got home, she lay down on the window sill and looked downstairs.

The conversation may have come to an end.Tony has always been very calm and relaxed, with his hands casually inserted in the pockets of his suit pants, listening attentively without saying a word.

The draft at night disturbed Mei's long hair, and she pushed it behind her ears, but her body turned halfway, so that Petra couldn't see her expression clearly, no matter how good her eyesight was.Not discouraged, she turned her gaze to another target.

After Mei finished speaking, her body swayed a bit, and she tended to retreat.And Tony said something briefly, with a calm expression, turned and left thoughtfully.

Not long after, the door opened and closed.Mei Ruo returned to the living room nonchalantly, ready to continue watching TV, but Petra couldn't hold back: "Is it because I came home too late?"

"Oh, of course not." Mei's expression became a little frozen again, and she forced a smile, "I know you have many powerful people around you, and I didn't worry about it at first... Actually, I saw it on the news."

"what did you see?"

Mei hesitated to speak, her eyebrows trembled in confusion, and she carefully considered her words: "Petty, you are already a big girl. There are some things that don't affect you well..."

So, without any further explanation from her, Petra already understood.

Although she had been psychologically prepared for a long time, it was not that she had not expected such a development, but it must be said that Mei's obvious worries and warnings made her a little frustrated.

Out of the care and love of her guardian, Mei may just be worried about the rumors and rumors from the outside world. After all, classes are different. Overwhelming - she probably wouldn't even guess if Petra had a little idea.

Petra can understand this, and she, who has always been eloquent, can only nod slowly: "It seems... yeah."

"After you work, I may not object to your contact with such a person. After all, you will be an independent adult at that time." Mei still said hesitantly, very tactfully, "But now, a child like you ..."

"You just said a few seconds ago that I've grown up." Petra pouted.

"Yeah, that's right." Mei nodded, couldn't help but smiled slightly, and then said, "But it's not contradictory. Your age has long exceeded the definition of 'child', but in fact, you are still underage. What does it mean?"

It means that the boundaries of some things will become very blurred and ambiguous.

May sighed softly, put her hand on Petra's shoulder, and gently patted her arms around her.

"Don't worry, I won't interfere with your friendship." She said, a little more seriously, "but you must know what you are doing."

"I don't always have a clear goal." Petra couldn't help but whispered.

"Yes, at this time, adults need to make a wiser judgment." Mei replied softly.

After that night, Petra didn't hear from the Avengers or Stark Industries for a long time.Hearing that they were very busy, Wanda asked for leave intermittently for a few days or more than ten days, and finally went through the formalities of school suspension before Halloween, and she hadn't appeared by Petra's side for a long time.

She was a little depressed in the first few days, but after thinking about it, she should have been like this.Not only to avoid suspicion, but also to...

Don't she and her team members all want to be an independent superhero?You can't always expect that you can get help, you have to learn to find ways to tide over difficulties on your own.

Thinking of this, Petra was relieved a lot. After class, she took Danny and others to wander around the city, going to school when she had something to do, and training by herself when she had nothing to do.

After the crime rate in New York dropped, the work of preventing highway robbery and theft was much less, and more often it was some piecemeal, very civilian "good people and good deeds", such as rescuing cats that could not get down from the treetops, or Push out cars with wheels stuck in sewer openings.

If it were changed before, they would still feel very boring and overqualified, but now, the few people who have experienced "cutting gems to save the world" are already very Buddhist. They only hope that the world will be more peaceful, and there will be no more people like Thanos. The same crazy terrorist.

then……

Before she knew it, Petra found that they had suddenly become famous.

Specifically, in the past, the regular news media didn't bother to report on little people like them. Now, the boss of the Daily Bugle is full of righteous indignation in the news every day, accusing the masked behavior of "Spider Girl and her accomplices" on New York. big negative impact.

What kind of vigilantes are the scourge of the city!vermin! ——His excited and sharp voice has spread in many social media, and it is unknown how many people agree with him.

"..." Aiwa finished reading the newspaper, took a deep breath, and held back.

Petra looked through all the photos first, and after confirming that their true faces were not exposed, she breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "What's wrong with the masked vigilante? Does he have any opinion on Batman!"

Danny glanced at the photo he was captured calmly, still in the mood to recognize the expression on half of his face, and then said: "I remember you once mentioned that you were very interested in photography and wanted to give Are you here for a newspaper submission internship?"

"As an employee under this kind of person, you will be pissed off sooner or later." Luke said vaguely while eating a hamburger.

"I've given up on that ideal long ago, too," Petra declared.

"Why?" Aiwa was very surprised, she never felt that she was a person who gave up lightly, even if it was money pressure... "You don't have enough money to buy a camera?"

"No." Petra shook her head heavily, "Because we are such a high-risk profession, the camera is too easy to break, even if I have money to buy it... I will feel very distressed!"

After all, they are the common people, and their values ​​are deeply rooted. Even if the lottery drops from the sky, it is estimated that they will not be able to shake them.

A few civilians—and an invisible renegade Fuerdai—finish their burgers and shuffle out of the fast food restaurant, passing a group of giggling college students.

Somebody brought up the topic, and they began to verbally debate the pros and cons of superheroes, insisting on their own opinions, and even forgot to line up.A few hidden high school students looked at each other, smiled calmly, and drifted away.

That evening they encountered—fortunately or unfortunately—another fire.The firefighters did not arrive for a long time, and only a few apartment managers were struggling to help evacuate the residents.

Petra saw this scene on the rooftop of a building a block away, and quickly called his teammates to the scene.She was the farthest away, and when she reached the burning building, the three of them had disappeared, and she jumped into the sea of ​​flames regardless of the delay.

A trip down, Ava rescued a three-year-old boy, Danny and Luke worked together to rescue a family of four from the bathroom, and Petra...she was holding a corgi, standing on the side of the road At a loss.

It was getting dark, fire trucks and police cars surrounded the building, the fire was gradually being brought under control, and the order at the scene was being restored, but no one came to take his pet away.

"Let's leave it to the administrator for safekeeping." Aiwa hurried back to watch the TV series.

Just at this moment, the reporters surrounded them, and several little heroes were immediately targeted by microphones and cameras.

At the same time, there were all kinds of voices. Petra was so dizzy that she didn't understand any of them. She managed to catch a sentence.

"Excuse me, after completing such a feat, do you have anything to say to everyone?"

The reporter also talked a lot in front of him. He mentioned the boss of the newspaper and some controversies on the Internet. He originally wanted to count on the superhero to give a powerful counterattack. Unfortunately, Petra just coughed a few times. In order to cough out the choking smoke, and then raised his head, the big eyes on the mask were sincerely facing the camera: "I hope to find her owner as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Corgi also barked twice in cooperation, and breathed out with his tongue out.

"I might be tempted to steal her back because she's so cute," Petra said primly.

...and then, in plain sight.

In live footage.

The much-anticipated Spider-Girl suddenly disappeared—falling into a circle on the ground, like walking and suddenly falling into a sewer without a manhole cover.Only the corgi in her arms was left, lost his support and fell to the ground, turned around in a daze, raised his head, and opened his big eyes to act cute.

The reporters turned pale with fright, and rushed up to see that there was nothing on the ground, it was the intact concrete floor.

At the same time, far away in another block, the supreme mage was severely criticizing the education of minors: "What nonsense, you know that you are on the cusp of the storm, and you still take the initiative to find excuses for others?"

Petra didn't understand, and scratched her cheek: "I was just joking? I didn't say I was really going to steal it. Does anyone take it out of context?"

"No." Strange said with a straight face, "Because tomorrow, your support team may receive hundreds of different types of pet dogs."

"..."

"Are you afraid?" He raised his eyebrows.

Petra: "..."

She was really a little scared, but she reacted quickly. She immediately took out her mobile phone and called someone who was her classmate and the captain of the global spider support team, and solemnly warned him not to do anything unnecessary.

There came Flash's excited voice, as if he didn't listen to her words at all: "So you are a dog? Do you like big dogs or small dogs? White or black? - How about wolfdogs? "

"No!" Petra suddenly had an idea, and used a guardian as a shield, "Aunt Mei won't agree to my raising it. It's too inconvenient to clean the dog's hair."

"Oh..." Flash was very disappointed.Another voice is ready to move: "But I can help clean--"

Petra was taken aback.

"Ah!" Flash said in panic, trying to push something down, "Sorry, it's too excited, I'll calm it down right away..."

Petra: "...you are busy."
