I'm waving my magic wand in Marvel
Chapter 167 Selfish power and Peter’s insomnia
The Witch King's vacation is almost over.
John should also prepare for his departure.
The Queen.
Peter was building Lego in a boring way.
Ned didn't come over because of grandma's baked burritos, and Shang-Chi also needed to concentrate on training and studying.
Peter was left looking bored this Saturday.
His eyes fell on the assembled Lego from time to time.
As an overachieving student, Peter was always a peace of mind.
He struggled for a while, and the door was opened.
Peter looked over in surprise and saw Mei leaning against the door, looking at him with a helpless and distressed expression.
"He didn't come over," May said.
She knew who Peter was waiting for.
Peter was actually not too angry anymore.
It's just that he feels very awkward. The person he admires would deliberately put himself and his family in danger.
This is unforgivable.
Even though he trusted her so much, he was still being plotted against.
Peter even said angrily that he didn't want to see him again.
But after saying that, he regretted it.
"I'm not." Peter said, picking up the Lego bricks and putting them on.
"Maybe we can go find him," May said.
"I don't want it," Peter said dully, "He deliberately put us in danger, Mei."
"Well, it doesn't count," Mei walked into the room, hugged little Peter and said softly, "John did a good thing, he rescued us immediately."
"But he can obviously prevent this before it happens," Peter stopped building Lego and put down the yellow building blocks and said, "He needs a proof."
"Ding dong."
What else did Mei want to say.
The doorbell rang.
She clearly saw Peter raise his head at that moment, with expectation in his eyes.
Mei stood up and went to open the door.
Opening the door, she saw the object of discussion.
John was standing there holding a box and asked with a smile: "You won't let me in?"
Mei crossed her arms and said, "Of course you are welcome, but you'd better comfort your godson."
John walked in and placed the half-person-high box on the sofa, giving Mei a confident look, "Don't worry."
May watched as John entered the room.
Then a scream from Peter came from inside.
When Mei walked over and took a look, the two people had disappeared from the room.
"Wizard." Mei was a little unhappy.
...
rooftop.
As soon as John let go, Peter fell to the ground.
He stood up angrily, his eyes burning with anger.
"Peter." John sat down on the edge of the rooftop, patted the seat next to him and motioned for him to come over.
Although his face was very reluctant, Peter's body came over honestly.
The rooftop also has more than 30 floors, and the next step will be shattered into pieces.
But Peter had already become accustomed to this in John's many shot-put throwing games.
He sat down fearlessly.
John looked out at the busy road and asked, "Do you hate me, Peter?"
"I... don't hate it." Peter said depressedly.
"The world is starting to become unstable," John said calmly. "Existences beyond human strength, bad guys wearing hoods and committing crimes, guys that have never been seen before are starting to appear."
"You should hate me for putting you in danger."
He said frankly: "I can tell you, I could stop it, but I didn't."
Peter looked sideways and saw the ends of John's hair swaying in the wind.
Now John is no longer as irreconcilable and sinister as before, and has more of a strange feeling to Peter.
"You will have great power in the future, Peter." John suddenly turned his head and met Peter's eyes. "At that time, you will also become a superhero in this world."
“Decisions are something you can’t avoid.”
"Just like that day."
John's eyes were so deep that Peter felt like he didn't dare to look at them.
"Are you choosing to give up the possibility of exposing crimes and becoming a hero for the sake of your family?"
"Or choose to be a hero and put your family in danger?"
John patted Peter's little head and said, "With great power comes great responsibility."
"When you have power beyond ordinary people, you will inevitably bear some burdens."
"To help others, to protect innocent people."
Peter was lost in thought, he was convinced.
Yeah, put yourself in John's shoes and be able to expose the crime and send the Kingpin back to prison.
That would have prevented many people from getting hurt.
He is obviously righteous, why should I be angry with him?
Seeing this, Peter felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wick, I was too willful."
"I understand, with great power comes great responsibility." Peter said movedly, "You also wanted to protect more people."
"No, you don't understand." John flexed his fingers and hit Peter's head with his brain, saying speechlessly, "I deliberately let you be caught at that time because I wanted to train you."
"Ah?" Peter was dumbfounded, "Then with great power comes great responsibility?"
"Oh, I was just about to tell you this," John said calmly, "After you have the ability, it is your voluntary choice to help others, and you can regard it as your own responsibility."
"But if the condition for helping others is sacrificing your own family, that's stupid!"
John sneered: "I don't object to you becoming a hero. I hope you can become a hero who protects your family."
He stood up and looked down at the earth, like an emperor looking down at all things.
"For those who attack you in the name of justice, what you should think about is not blaming yourself, but how to make them pay the price."
"Listen, Peter," John pulled the man up and said word by word, "Selfishness is sometimes not just for bad people, good people can be selfish too."
"Between a stranger and you, I will choose you without hesitation, because you are my godson!"
His words were like fire, making Peter feel his heart burning.
Peter thought John would teach him to be a hero, but he was wrong.
John wants to tell him that selfishness is not ugly.
On the contrary, all people are selfish.
You can fight for your own justice, but you cannot harm yourself for the justice of others.
Peter was so dazed that he didn't even pay attention to John's words about godson.
John rubbed his head for the first time and said to him: "In Hogwarts, you may be a brave lion, a wise eagle, or a generous badger. No matter which one you are, I hope you will." To be selfish, because the saint always lets someone else’s sword pierce his chest and condemns himself.”
The conversation ended here, and John and Peter waved goodbye.
He looked at Peter who was getting on the elevator with a deep look.
Good Neighbor Spider-Man has been criticized more than once.
In this era of superheroes, there are super villains and many people with malicious intentions waiting for the heroes who make mistakes.
He didn't want Peter to turn his guilt into a sharp blade to hurt himself under the attack of those people.
Some people are worth saving, but some people are not.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Responsibility cannot be a shackles, let alone a tool of harm.
"Next time we meet, Spider-Man."
This whisper echoed from the rooftop, and John had disappeared.
...
Peter came down from the rooftop.
He returns home.
Mei saw him and knew that he had reconciled with John. She smiled softly and said, "Peter, look at the gift John gave you."
After being prompted, Peter discovered the gift box half as tall as a man on the sofa.
He walked over and looked at the tightly wrapped box, and his blank heart was replaced by warmth.
that night.
Peter hugged the quilt and didn't dare to turn off the light. He shivered and looked at the gray-faced doll in a white dress with dark circles under his eyes.
He cried.
What should I do if I don’t dare to sleep?
To prevent Peter from being careless and causing the doll to disappear, his dear godfather had added a special enchantment.
the next day.
Peter, who hadn't slept all night, took the doll to the trash can without stopping to throw away the scary thing.
Back at home, Peter enters the room.
After he saw the doll in the room again.
He fainted.
