Chapter 139 Lightning
Peter didn't know that someone was planning to give him benefits.
The three of them didn't stay in Primos for long and went back.
The school was attacked again. Although they had been rescued, they still had to show up and give a statement at the police station.
At that time, Sheriff George Stacy came in person to take notes. When he saw Peter, he couldn't help but look unfriendly, and his eyes seemed to say: Boy, why are you here again?
As for what happened, Bant and his team had already colluded with each other and there was not a single flaw.
After leaving the police station, Bant asked Peter to prepare some gifts for Jameson. Although the old guy was usually sarcastic and didn't get along with Spider-Man, he was actually a good guy.
Just because he didn't betray Peter this time, he deserves thanks.
Peter naturally agreed.
But before that, they planned to go visit Lightning.
The walls of two classrooms were damaged by Kraven. Although the impact was not great, the students in the class were frightened and it was unrealistic to ask them to go back to class immediately.
So, the school was on holiday again.
But this time it will probably only be for a few days.
In the hospital, Lightning has not woken up yet.
As a person with super powers, even if Kraven did not deliberately kill an ordinary person like the Lightning, he could still seriously injure the Lightning with just a casual blow.
At this moment, he is receiving emergency treatment in the ICU.
His parents were waiting outside anxiously, but could do nothing.
“The situation is not very optimistic.”
The doctor walked out of the operating room exhausted. They had been trying to save Lightning for several hours, but they could only barely keep him alive.
"Although the patient's condition has stabilized, he has suffered head damage and is likely to become a vegetable in the future."
Upon hearing the news, Lightning's parents felt heartbroken.
Lightning's mother tightly grasped the doctor's arm and pleaded with tears in her eyes:
"Doctor, please, save my son!"
"I'm sorry, I've tried my best." The doctor sighed and said, "If you can get the self-healing potion from Osborne Pharmaceuticals, maybe it can be cured... but the price is too high."
He opened his mouth, but ultimately did not say the despairing price.
In fact, although the price of self-healing medicine is very high, fortunately it works quickly. One bottle can cure the disease immediately and it will not bring a heavy burden to ordinary people.
The only problem is that, since production has not yet been increased, most of the orders have been taken by the military and SHIELD. There are very few medicines on the market, and those that occasionally leak out are naturally sold at sky-high prices.
After all, getting the potion is like getting a second life, and those wealthy people and politicians who are always worried about being assassinated are watching it.
In different versions, Lightning's life experience is different. Some Lightnings are wealthy second-generations, while the Lightning in front of us is just a child from an ordinary family.
It’s not that they don’t have money to buy medicine, but that they simply can’t buy it!
Lightning's mother suddenly became gloomy and collapsed to the ground as if all her bones had been pulled out.
"Maybe in a few years...it will become popular."
The doctor could only comfort her.
But for several years, Lightning had to stay in the ward, relying on expensive equipment to maintain his life. Not to mention how much money it cost, but the best period of his life was also wasted.
Seeing this scene, Bant walked out without thinking and said:
"Primus will see to it that the lightning is cured."
Lightning is not a bad person at heart, and he and Bant can be considered friends.
Although in many universes, Lightning is a school bully who likes to bully others, but in this universe, because he has been educated by Bant since childhood, Lightning does not often bully other students.
Not to mention, this time he was injured by Kraven in order to save Peter. It was impossible for Bant to watch him become a vegetable.
Moreover, the brain damage is actually very serious. The structure of the brain is much more complicated than that of the limbs. Self-healing drugs alone may not be able to cure him.
But no matter what, the medical level in Primus is definitely much better than that of ordinary hospitals.
Whether it can be cured or not can only be seen after analysis. If it doesn’t work, we can only think of using the symbiont.
Just in time to bring Agent Venom online.
Tiangong will have one more member.
"Eunice, monitor the Life Foundation's network and satellites, and contact me immediately if anything happens."
"Yes, sir."
After completing the discharge procedures for Lightning, Bant took Lightning and his parents back to Primos.
He explained to them that the self-healing potion might not make Lightning get better immediately, but he also promised to cure him as soon as possible.
Today, the Primus Building is hundreds of stories high, and not every floor is completely off-limits.
After calming them down, Bant found Connors. With Eunice's scan, the two had a rough analysis of Lightning's physical condition.
"The self-healing potion can cure it."
Connors answered in the affirmative.
"However, repairing his injuries so roughly will cause problems with his memory."
Connors pointed a finger at the Brain's own brain.
This was not unexpected by Bant.
After all, after Connors' right hand grew out, it took some time for him to adapt before he could use it freely. In fact, until now, Connors still trusts his left hand more when doing experiments.
If this is the case with the arms, let alone the brain.
"It seems that we still need a symbiote."
"Symbiote, what is that?" Connors asked curiously. Symbiotic relationships are not uncommon among organisms, but the word Bant said is obviously more like a special term for a single species.
"An alien creature."
Bant said.
Connors already knew enough secrets, so Bant didn't mind revealing more.
"They are amorphous in nature and can possess the bodies of other creatures."
"Sounds like a parasite."
Connors frowned.
"The difference is that the objects they parasitize also gain benefits, such as healing the dying and granting powerful strength..."
In fact, the symbiosis between symbiotes has always been a benign relationship, but when they first appeared in the movie, they played a negative role.
Especially the Venom lineage, all of its descendants are villains, which further deepens the impression that the symbiote is evil.
But in fact, according to the information Bant had previously obtained on Sakaar, most of the symbiotes are actually good people.
According to Brunhilde, the symbiotes live on the planet Klyntar in the Andromeda galaxy, so most of the time they are called Klyntar.
They are intelligent and like to help others. I have never heard of anyone who likes to eat other people's brains.
At this point, Brunhilde was still confused as to why Bant had the impression that the symbiote liked to eat brains.
Bant could only say that the reputation of the symbiote was damaged because of a certain dark guy.
It's not just Venom, even in Venom's solo movie, several other symbiotes also appear as villains.
"I didn't expect there is such a creature." Connors was amazed, and then said, "In this case, we can cure him first, and as for his memory, we can slowly restore it later."
After all, amnesia is just a small matter, waking up Lightning is more important.
On the other side, Peter went to visit Jameson with gifts.
Jameson is also in the hospital, but his condition is much better than Lightning.
Jameson has woken up by now, and Robbie and Betty are taking care of him in the VIP ward.
As soon as he entered the door, Peter heard him angrily scolding Robbie:
"You two losers!"
"Why did you send me to the VIP ward? Don't you know that the fees here are so expensive that it's like they're cracking open my bones and sucking out my marrow?"
He had a bandage on his head and his face was flushed. When he saw Peter come in, he was stunned and his tone became gentler.
"Peter?"
Robbie and Betty also looked up quickly.
"Are you okay?" Jameson asked in a tone Peter had never heard before. At this moment, he was like a gentle grandfather caring for his grandson.
"I'm fine, thank you Mr. Jameson." Peter put the flowers and gifts he brought on the table and said.
He looked a little shy, a little confused by Jameson's sudden change of attitude.
“Since you’re okay…” Fortunately, Jameson looked Peter up and down, and after confirming that Peter was really okay, he immediately returned to his previous state and bombarded:
“What about my pictures?!
"You didn't fulfill your responsibilities at all. You didn't film Spider-Man brutally killing criminals so that the world can see the true face of this pest!!"
Peter was scolded by him.
"But Spider-Man saved me..."
"Shut up!"
Jameson practically jumped up from the bed and poked his head with his finger.
"It's not him who saved you, it's him who harmed you!"
"He not only hurt you, but also me!"
"He caused my newspaper office to be attacked! He caused me to be injured! He forced me to live in this high-end ward that costs thousands of dollars a day but is useless, and let those devils in white clothes suck my blood!"
Jameson cursed from beginning to end, and after cursing Spider-Man, he beat and scolded the New York police, saying that they were just there to do nothing. Finally, he jumped off the hospital bed, kicked Peter's butt, kicked him out of the hospital, and told him to go home.
In fact, Jameson was worried that Peter's family didn't know he had been rescued.
But in fact, until now, Uncle Ben and Aunt May didn't know that Peter and Bant were kidnapped.
The moment they were taken away, Harry immediately blocked the news.
Only a few people knew that Kraven's target was actually Peter.
Afterwards, they were quickly rescued. In order to protect the two students, the notice naturally would not publicly state the real names of Bant and Peter.
So, when Peter got home, Uncle Ben and Aunt May were not at home.
Without the pressure of life, Uncle Ben was no longer in a hurry to find a job. He and Aunt Mei participated in community service together, preparing to be a volunteer and use the rest of his energy to help others.
Both children expressed their support for this.
Peter thinks that helping others is a good idea, and although Uncle Ben is not Spider-Man, he is also a hero.
And Bant just wanted the two of them to be happy.
But while Uncle Ben and Aunt May weren't home, there was another visitor outside the little house in Queens.
"Uh, you are?"
Steve Rogers was standing by the door, and when he saw Peter coming, he smiled brightly.
"Hello, Peter Parker."
