Chapter 2142: Battle of Two Cities! (IX)

The vision was pitch black, and hazy memory fragments kept flashing in front of his eyes. He tried hard to wake up and control his limbs, but found that his whole body was stiff and numb.

When he opened his eyes, Bruce saw two faces, one of which he was very familiar with, that was Peter Parker.

The other face was older and more gentle than Peter. He wore a suit and tie and silver-rimmed glasses. The only problem was that his eyes were not focused, a bit like a blind person.

Bruce wanted to move, but he couldn't move at all. He was in great pain all over his body. The strange numbness made him unable to open his mouth. He could only freeze in place and listen to the two people talking.

"Did I hear it right?" Peter said: "He tried to catch Electro with his hands, and then he was electrocuted?"

The other man nodded.

"I have a question." Peter's voice could be called helpless. He said: "First of all, how could Electro be caught up by him?"

Peter's implication was very clear. How on earth could Electro be caught up by someone who could catch Electro with his bare hands?

So the Electro that he had been dealing with for so many years was a fake Electro, or was it that Electro's feet were off the ground, the virus was turned off, and his IQ was not going up?

"Iron Man cut off the electricity on that street." The man with glasses replied: "And it seems that he manipulated some power storage equipment to carry out an electric current shock, forcing Electro out of the circuit."

Peter can imagine the next scene. After Electro was forced to leave the circuit, he needed to readjust his body state before he could turn into Electro again, which means that this skill has a certain cooling time.

The Electro being chased by Stark could not stand there and wait for the cooling to turn over. He must have thought of an escape route before being forced out, and ran away after landing.

But there was Bruce chasing behind Electro. When he saw Electro leaving the circuit, he rushed over without thinking.

Electro's active skill was cooled, but he also had a passive skill. Even in human form, he was electrified all over. Bruce was not wearing an insulating suit, so he experienced the fate of an Internet-addicted teenager on the spot and was clearly electrocuted.

Stark flew down to make trouble for Bruce, but was stopped by Daredevil. Of course Stark wanted to take action, but Captain America and the agents chasing him were not vegetarians.

White Can has been wanted by SHIELD. He is now a fugitive. If he is caught by Captain America, he will suffer. The other one is still in the system and constantly competes with him for the control of the mecha. Between internal and external troubles, White Can can only choose to retreat strategically.

Then Daredevil Matt picked Bruce up, and after some inspection, he found Bruce's abnormality and hurriedly called Peter over.

"...That's what happened." Peter explained his experience to Matt, took out a small bottle of spider silk raw materials from his arms, put it on the table, and sighed, "I don't know how to say it. I have never seen such a Batman."

"What should Batman usually be like?" Matt asked curiously. He had heard Spider-Man mention it once before, but he didn't explain it in detail.

"Completely the opposite of him." Peter frowned, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Before, I thought that Batman's character, who has plans for everything, is rigorous enough, but also a little paranoid. Now it seems that it is better to be a little paranoid."

Matt's view is more mature than Peter's. He said, "Peter, I know the situation was urgent and you had to do this, but have you ever thought that Bruce Wayne, who has obtained the power of Spider-Man, is not lacking the power of the engine."

Peter looked at Matt, and Matt looked at Bruce.

Now he only has an engine, no steering wheel, no wheels, no brakes and accelerators. He has gained great power, but he has no mind, skills and willpower to match it.

Peter also began to have a headache, because he knew that what Matt said was right.

Today he realized that he could become Spider-Man not entirely because he gained superpowers. Peter Parker always thought he was mediocre, but now he realized that he was extraordinary from the beginning.

Think about it, after gaining powerful power, there are still several levels for him to pass.

A weak person who is bullied suddenly gains great power. It is difficult to restrain the sudden burst of desire. Not even one out of ten people can stick to basic morality, let alone continue to be considerate and kind.

Even if morality is maintained, it will always become more and more daring because of the convenience of power. The more developed the muscles, the more the brain shrinks, and finally loses most of the reason and becomes a beast that only relies on force.

Even if there is both morality and reason, there must be enough wisdom so that the brain can fully mobilize all its strength in an emergency to achieve the best result, rather than thinking for a long time and choosing the worst one among many roads.

Even if morality, reason and wisdom are sufficient, there must be a rich knowledge reserve, well-trained skills, sufficient experience, and even some luck that is difficult to explain.

Only when all these things are added together can a superhero be born, but with these things, how many people will be satisfied with being Spider-Man?

They will only think that if I have these things, I will be able to save the world more quickly and perfectly. I must do it in one fell swoop, once and for all, walk on the right path from the beginning, and then run all the way to the end and get everything I want. Wanted.

The most essential sin of mankind is arrogance. Peter thought that perhaps from the very beginning, his biggest difference was that he was always humbler than ordinary people.

Bruce woke up and struggled to straighten his upper body to sit up. Matt reached out to help him.

Bruce coughed twice to expel the air trapped in his throat, but his chest was still tight. He turned his head to the wall, and his eyes also turned away, showing an attitude of resistance. It was not because he lost face, he just couldn't figure out why others could do it easily, but he would go through many twists and turns, and finally Nor can the desired results be achieved.

Why is it so unfair? All the other Batmans and Spider-Mans are fine, but he is not like Batman when he is Batman, and he is not like Spider-Man when he is Spider-Man.

This is not Batman or Spider-Man's problem at all, but his own problem.

But where is the difference between me and myself?

Bruce couldn't understand.

Peter walked over to him and sat down next to him, holding his upper body. Matt handed over the water glass. Peter fed Bruce some water. The clear and cold water flowed through his dry lips, making him feel better.

"Don't be too hasty, Bruce." Peter put down the water glass, took off the spider silk launcher from Bruce's wrist, put the raw material of the spider silk in, and said, "The greater the ideal, the greater the responsibility, but you want too much. , you will think too much, which will make you overeager and lose your most basic judgment.”

"What should I want?"

"Don't try to start by saving two cities, boy." Matt said. He tapped the wall next to Bruce's legs with his blind stick and said, "If you set your goal so big, you'll just be like a headless person." Like flies, after chasing here and there, in the end no one can catch up. "

"Answer me, Bruce, are you not willing to devote your life to this huge goal? If you are willing, why rush for this moment? Let's set the goal realistically."

During the conversation, Bruce discovered that he had at least one advantage, which was that he could still listen to advice when the other party was far stronger than himself.

Although he was discouraged by his several failures, he was like an ordinary person, not only accustomed to failure, but also able to find some decent reasons to comfort himself after failure.

"So what should I do now?" Bruce looked at Peter, completely asking what Peter would do if he were Peter now.

"Stop Captain America." Peter replied. He took Bruce's arm and said, "The reason why you failed in pursuit this time was not because of your judgment in chasing Electro, but because Stark's kick disrupted your judgment." Chasing the rhythm.”

"You have to go to Captain America and ask him to talk to Stark, and S.H.I.E.L.D. too."

"You go and tell them that their target is Tony Stark. Now the chaos in the city and the Evil Six are handed over to you. You have to drive them away from each other, so that they will not hinder each other and interfere with each other."

Bruce suddenly understood.

His previous thinking had always been to chase criminals when they saw them, hide when they were in danger, and catch them as soon as possible.

But in fact, there are two things happening in the city now. Captain America and S.H.I.E.L.D. are capturing the fugitive Stark, and Bruce wants to stop the Evil Six from causing chaos everywhere.

Both of these things can be dealt with individually, but if they are intertwined, accidents may occur frequently. If Bai Can hadn't suddenly taken action and forced Electro out, leaving Bruce to fight him slowly, Electro would have been completely uncharged. It may not be Bruce's opponent with Spider-Man's abilities.

Thinking of this, Bruce became frustrated again. Why didn't he notice it before? Why is it so easy for others to figure out the answer, but when it comes to myself, my mind is in chaos? And it is foreseeable that chaos will continue in the future.

"Don't be discouraged, you are no longer alone." Peter pressed Bruce's arm, looked into his eyes and said, "Believe me, this is not the desperate Gotham, and we will not let the hero fight alone."

"I'm going to call Steve and Nick." Matt turned to touch his phone and said, "Tell them there's a rookie who needs plenty of room to exercise."

Then he took out a portable communication device from the drawer and threw it to Peter. Peter put it on Bruce's wrist, and then put the earphone end in his ear.

"I still have to help other heroes." Peter stood up, looked at Bruce and said, "But if you encounter any problems, you can call me. We are a team, right?"

Bruce hesitated, but nodded.

Just when Peter turned to leave, Bruce stopped him. After coughing twice, he told Peter a number and said.

"This is the phone number of Fox from the technical department of Wayne Group. He has the authority to call the laboratory. You can use Wayne's laboratory. There is equipment you can use there, but you have to be careful not to be discovered by shareholders. ”

Peter stood by the door and smiled at him. Now he felt that this kind of Batman was not bad.
