Chapter 210 Plumber Ben
"This is for you guys."
Bant placed the potion on the table and looked Uncle Ben in the eyes.
Uncle Ben and Aunt May were both stunned. His eyebrows and eyelashes, which had turned silver-gray due to old age, and the spiral-like wrinkles around his eye sockets fully expressed his confusion.
Of course, more importantly, he felt that this thing was too precious to him.
The two old people worked hard to raise Peter and Bant. Over the years, they never spent much money on themselves. All the good things were left to Bant and Peter.
After a long time, even if there are precious things in front of them, the first thing they think of is their children.
"This is so precious...your Aunt Mei and I are already two old men and women," he glanced at Aunt Mei, who was a little unhappy about being called an old lady.
She glared at Uncle Ben and said, "I'm not even fifty yet. I'm only forty-nine!"
But it looks like fifty-five.
Uncle Ben thought so in his heart, but of course he wouldn't say it out loud.
But no matter what, both of them felt that there was no need to waste such precious things on themselves.
“We don’t deserve it.”
"Of course you deserve it!" Bant shook his head.
"This is what I prepared specially for you. As for me and Peter..." Bant gave his cellmate an elbow and said, "Come on Xiaoliang... No, Peter will give them the whole life!"
Peter was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and stuck one hand to the ceiling.
Uncle Ben and Aunt May blinked, wondering what he was doing.
"Not enough. Go clean up the cobwebs in the corner over there."
So Peter simply hung upside down on the ceiling, crawled to the corner like a spider, and stretched out his fingers to clean the spider web.
Now, Uncle Ben and Aunt May finally knew Peter's identity.
"OMG!" Aunt May covered her face and screamed in horror, "You are Spider-Man!"
"Yes, I am Spider-Man."
Peter jumped down.
He didn't know why Bant changed his mind and decided to tell his identity to Uncle Ben and Aunt May, but in his opinion, Bant was always right.
'He is not!'
In his mind, Venom immediately retorted.
Peter waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly.
Then he saw Aunt Mei rushing over in horror, grabbing his shoulders, and looking him up and down, not missing a single corner.
"Good boy, you are Spider-Man!"
After the initial shock, Uncle Ben soon smiled, pointed his finger at Peter, and said approvingly: "I knew there would be no other good guy besides my nephew."
"Well done, Peter, you put your skills to good use."
"Thank you Uncle Ben."
Peter was very happy to get the recognition from his family. He tilted his head and winked at him.
But soon, his head was straightened by Aunt Mei.
The only woman in the house was now brewing her anger: "Not good at all!"
"My nephew is Spider-Man, that's crazy!" Aunt May looked like she was going to collapse, Peter tried to comfort her, but Aunt May said with a breathless expression, "Oh my God!"
"My God!"
"So you spend all day fighting with terrorists with bombs, getting injured by their bombs, getting scratched by green monsters, and dealing with aliens?!"
"Uh..." Peter didn't know what to say. He grabbed Aunt May's hands to prevent her from collapsing, then looked at Bant and Uncle Ben for help, and even looked at Harry.
Seeing this, Uncle Ben immediately came over and supported her.
"Okay, May, our nephew has made great progress. We should be happy for him instead of being the one to stop him. Besides, don't you think Spider-Man is great?"
"That's because I didn't know the person under the mask was my nephew!"
Aunt May was already full of grievances and anger with nowhere to vent. She didn't want to lose her temper with the children, so she directed her anger at Uncle Ben.
"You still support him!"
"Let me ask you, what if Peter gets hurt?"
"Do you know how many times the newspapers have reported that Spider-Man was injured, and how many times the Daily Bugle has sworn that Spider-Man is dead and will never come back?"
Her eyes were red, and her series of questions left Uncle Ben speechless.
"Wait," Peter squeezed in, stopped between the two men, and said, "To be honest, every time Jameson reported the news that Spider-Man was dead, I was sitting at home. Besides, all the reports about Spider-Man in the Daily Bugle are fake news."
"But what if?"
Aunt Mei asked back.
"What if Spider-Man really is dead?"
"What if Spider-Man really dies, what will happen to my nephew?"
"Who can give me my nephew back?"
She stared at Peter, her tone calmer, but still with such a powerful force that Peter was at a loss.
The name of this power is: Mother.
The source of everything is love.
Bant walked towards her slowly, hugged her gently, and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Mei."
"I won't let anything happen to Peter. I have prepared the most advanced equipment for him so he can handle any situation."
After hearing his words, Aunt Mei calmed down a little. She took a long breath as if she could finally breathe.
Bant has always been more reassuring than Peter, so what he says will be more useful.
Even if a naughty child makes a promise in front of his parents, it is always difficult to convince them. Peter is not naughty, he was just too cowardly in the past. Therefore, in Aunt May's impression, Peter should be the one who needs to be protected, not the one who protects others.
He will get hurt, cry, and feel at a loss as to what to do when things happen.
But Bant is different.
He can always do better.
But even so, Aunt May is not going to give in on this matter.
"I haven't even had a chance to talk about you! Peter is Spider-Man, what about you? I don't believe you haven't done anything dangerous!"
In fact, Bant was the naughty boy.
At least he's a brave kid.
"I'm a very good girl, Aunt May. Although I'm Spider-Man, I seldom take action. I prefer to do research in the office."
"Really?" Aunt Mei looked at him suspiciously.
You know, Bant started fighting since he was a child, and all the classmates who wanted to bully Peter in school were beaten by him.
Now he says he likes being in the lab?
Aunt Mei always found it ridiculous.
But on second thought, Bant had established a company and invented so many things during this period, and the Matrix Spider-Man rarely appeared, which made her feel that maybe what Bant said was true.
So she nodded and said:
"Okay, you pass!"
Peter's eyes widened at the sight.
He felt a great psychological imbalance. You know, what Bant did was much more dangerous than what he did. He immediately complained like the other twin:
"He went much further than I did!"
"Last time he said he was going to travel, but he actually went to an alien planet, helped the people on that planet overthrow the tyrant, and became king himself!"
Aunt Mei: ???
Bant: ...
Bant glared at Peter.
Seeing his expression, Aunt Mei knew that this was true.
She felt dizzy.
She originally thought that Peter was very brave in helping his neighbors in the community and fighting crime, but she didn't expect that there was a winner who became the king of the planet in just one month?
Whose general is this?
Still my nephew!
"In short, I will never allow you to continue doing dangerous things!"
Aunt Mei said sternly.
At this time, Peter and Uncle Ben didn't know what to say.
Needless to say, Harry had already lowered his head and watched the show.
Only Bant comforted her and said, "Aunt Mei, we are just doing what we have to do. I am not doing it because the world needs me, but because this family needs me."
"If we don't eliminate some enemies, our lives will be in chaos."
"Just like Hydra, what would happen if they were allowed to complete Project Insight? Peter and I were both on the Insight list, and we were the ones they wanted to eliminate.
"And Thanos, the little purple boy who invaded the Earth this time. He wants to destroy half of all life in the universe. Who will be spared? Who will survive?"
He hugged Aunt Mei and whispered, "I don't want to be killed by him, and I don't want to watch you disappear before our eyes."
Those who survive always suffer more.
Soon after, Peter and Uncle Ben also came up, and the whole family hugged each other. Only Harry felt that he seemed a little out of place here.
After a while, Aunt Mei finally gave in.
She said, "Okay, I agree that you can continue to be superheroes..."
Peter turned his head and said to Uncle Ben, "Usually, there's a 'but' at the end of this."
"but……"
Aunt Mei said seriously: "Someone has to watch you!"
"What do you mean?"
Peter was stunned, and even Bant was stunned for a moment.
Then Aunt May and Uncle Ben said matter-of-factly, "We certainly can't watch two of you... three, three minors saving the world."
They hadn't forgotten to include Harry in the calculation.
"But I'm Spider-Man," Peter said.
"I conquered a planet!" Bant also said.
"That's also underage."
Aunt Mei said without letting anyone refuse: "It just so happens that we don't have to work now. And you happened to have brought three bottles of Super Soldier Serum, so..."
Uncle Ben took over the topic: "So why can't we be superheroes?"
He looked eager to try.
So much so that Bant was not sure whether Uncle Ben really wanted to supervise himself and Peter, or simply admired Captain America and wanted to become a character like Captain America.
"Okay, now tell me, what forms do I need to fill out to join the Hammer Agency or the Avengers?
"Or maybe they only recruit people under 35 years old? That's not good. I was laid off because I was too old..."
Hearing this, Bant laughed.
"No, we are not the Avengers."
“We are the plumbers and electricians of Tiangong.”
