What nonsense are you spouting?"
Gwen, flushed with anger and shame, punched Andrew.
Andrew handed her a bottle of water and said, "Gwen, the biggest difference between humans and beasts is that humans use tools.
If you want to protect yourself, besides training, you also need to learn to use tools."
Gwen took the water, took a sip, and asked, "Use tools?"
"Let's take Spider-Man as an example.
His web is a tool.
Without his web, his combat power would significantly decrease."
Andrew said, "However, Spider-Man doesn't utilize his web enough.
He should modify his web-shooters to have multiple firing modes, such as electric current mode, web-ball mode, web-net mode, and so on."
Gwen pondered, "Modify the web-shooters?"
"Yes, besides the web-shooters, Spider-Man could also get some special weapons, like a police taser."
Andrew nodded and said, "Spider-Man fights bare-handed, and he always takes a long time to deal with criminals.
This is not only dangerous but also easily damages public property.
Chief George has always wanted to catch him and make him pay for the damages."
"My dad really hates Spider-Man and often curses him at home."
Gwen laughed, then suddenly, she thought of something, and the smile on her face froze—she was about to become the second Spider-Man.
"You are a prospective Scientist, and I believe you understand the importance of tools.
The brain is our most precious human asset."
Andrew said, "Alright, let's continue training.
Next, we'll train with long-range weapons.
First, we'll practice throwing darts, and in a few days, I'll take you to the shooting range to fire a gun."
Gwen was astonished, "Fire a gun? Is that really necessary?"
Andrew nodded with certainty, "Of course it is.
If you don't understand the performance of firearms and their actual lethality, how can you defend yourself?
I will take you to familiarize yourself with various firearms, and if you're interested, I can even get you a rocket launcher to play with."
"Are you sure you're a reporter and not an arms dealer?"
Gwen complained.
"I just want to save more people, why are even rocket launchers showing up?"
Thinking of something, Andrew said, "Oh, by the way, let me teach you an ultimate technique first.
This ultimate technique can ensure your safety in any situation."
Gwen's eyes lit up, "What kind of ultimate technique is so powerful?"
Andrew said earnestly, "When you encounter danger, just shout my name in your heart."
"That's not scientific."
Gwen rolled her eyes at Andrew, not believing him at all.
Andrew didn't care either, as his power was within Gwen's body, and he could project himself to help her at any time.
Under Andrew's strict training, Gwen grew rapidly.
In fact, with her Spider power, she was a gem that only needed a little polishing to shine brightly.
Gwen's growth was not just in combat skills, but also in confidence.
She put on her self-made black and white cloaked Spider suit and headed to Hell's Kitchen to help people.
Zzzzt...
Gwen touched her stick to a gun-wielding thug, who was electrocuted and fell to the ground, unable to move.
Gwen blinked, deeply feeling that Andrew was right; it was so much simpler this way.
"Leave, and remember not to come to Hell's Kitchen at night."
Gwen lowered her voice and said to the robbed woman.
The woman nodded gratefully to her and ran out of the alley.
Having successfully saved someone, Gwen was very happy.
She was about to leave when an excited voice came from the alley entrance: "Today is truly my lucky day; I actually encountered two super-powered women in a row."
Gwen turned around and saw a man in a purple suit, who clearly wasn't a good person, standing excitedly at the alley entrance.
Beside him was a beautiful woman in a leather jacket who looked very despondent.
The leather-clad beauty's face was full of fear and despair, seemingly very afraid of the man in purple, but for some reason, she didn't run away and just stood there.
Gwen sensed danger.
Holding her short stick, she asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? And Miss, are you being threatened?"
"You can call me Kilgrave.
Now, drop your weapon and walk over obediently."
Kilgrave, or rather, Kilgrave, said excitedly.
Gwen didn't want to comply, but for some reason, she obediently dropped her weapon and walked towards Kilgrave.
Kilgrave, a major villain, has the ability to control others through viral infection (TV series version, different from the pheromones in the comics).
As for the beautiful woman next to Kilgrave, her name is Jessica Jones, a future street hero with superhuman strength and super jumping abilities.
"How could this happen?"
Gwen wanted to resist, but she couldn't control her body at all.
She finally understood why that beautiful woman was so terrified; the man in purple was truly too terrifying.
Jessica Jones looked at Gwen walking towards her, her heart growing more and more desperate.
This time, it was completely over.
"No, I don't want to be controlled."
Gwen was terrified.
At this moment, she remembered the ultimate technique Andrew had once mentioned and couldn't help but shout in her heart, "Andrew."
Kilgrave's vision blurred, and he suddenly appeared in a place full of magma and black smoke.
In front of him stood a majestic figure that made his whole body tremble.
As soon as Kilgrave saw him, he couldn't help but fall to his knees, trembling.
"Death."
Andrew wasted no words.
He struck down with a palm like a collapsing sky, and Kilgrave's soul was instantly shattered.
In the real world, Kilgrave suddenly widened his eyes and fell down.
Gwen and Jessica simultaneously returned to normal.
They exchanged glances, both feeling utterly confused.
What was happening?
Jessica thought for a moment, then cautiously went forward to check Kilgrave, finding that he was already dead.
"How did he suddenly die?"
Gwen looked baffled.
Even in movies, the plot isn't this absurd, right?
The big villain is about to succeed, then suddenly dies of a disease?
If this were in a show, people would curse it to Death.
"It's best if he's dead."
Jessica let out a breath of relief and kicked Kilgrave's corpse, sending him flying to crash hard against the wall.
He had almost scared her to Death earlier.
Just then, Jessica's phone suddenly rang.
She answered it, and a female voice urgently said, "The police are coming.
You two hurry and escape.
I'll meet you at the intersection."
Jessica was startled and quickly led Gwen to escape in the direction indicated.
She had just kicked Kilgrave, and if she were caught, she wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the ocean.
Gwen had never encountered such a situation before and had no experience, so she followed Jessica.
Soon, the two women arrived at the intersection, where an American Ford minivan was waiting for them.
"Get in quickly."
A beautiful mixed-race female driver opened the car door and shouted.
The two women immediately got into the car, and the female driver stepped on the accelerator, quickly leaving the area.
After escaping Hell's Kitchen, Jessica asked the female driver, "Who are you? Why are you helping us? And how do you know my phone number?"
Skye smiled and said, "My name is Skye, and I'm a hacker.
I just happened to see you two on the camera.
Don't worry, I've already deleted all the camera footage."
"Hacker?"
Gwen and Jessica were both astonished.
Equally astonished was Andrew: "Spider-Gwen, Tian Sha Skye, drunkard Jessica—what kind of combination is this?"
Then, Andrew shook his head and didn't do much else.
Anyway, he could handle it.
