I definitely can't tell Uncle Ben and the others everything that happened tonight, otherwise they'll worry for a long time.
The five of them quickly came up with a story about what had happened that night, one after another.
Outside Las Vegas, Uncle Ben, Aunt May, and Gwen gazed at the brightly lit casino in the distance, showing no intention of going over. The three held hands, each trying to suppress a sigh.
The night grew deeper and the weather grew colder.
Uncle Ben, seeing the two trembling women, was the first to calm down: "May, Gwen, it's so cold, let's go over there. Peter is an adult now, we should trust him to handle this."
Aunt May initially wanted to stay put, but after glancing at Gwen beside her, she decided to go inside Las Vegas first and nodded.
The three walked hand in hand. Gwen knew Aunt May was very worried, so she forced a smile and said, "Uncle Ben, Aunt May, don't worry, Peter will be fine. I believe you already realized that Peter is Spider-Man, but you didn't know that Danger is the White Wizard, did you? Look how powerful Pietro and Wanda's magic was just now, they'll definitely be back in a little while."
All three of them were a little worried, but they were comforting each other.
Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Gwen suddenly heard a familiar voice beside her. The three of them stopped in their tracks, unsure if they had misheard.
The next moment, a figure rushed over and hugged the three of them tightly, whispering, "Uncle Ben, Aunt May, Gwen!"
Uncle Ben recognized the voice as Peter's. Seeing that Gel was still standing nearby, he gestured for Gel to come over, and the five of them hugged tightly together.
After a long while, the five of them finally let go.
Uncle Ben took a step back and carefully examined Peter's body. He was relieved to find that Peter had no injuries whatsoever.
"Ger, are you all alright?" Uncle Ben asked, still concerned, even though he had already checked on them.
Gel smiled, deliberately trying to amuse Uncle Ben and Aunt May, and spun around: "I didn't even get a scratch, I'm fine, those people aren't even worth a handful of our hands."
Uncle Ben saw that none of the people had any wounds, and only then did he believe what Ger had said and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the group was laughing, Gerl suggested, "Uncle Ben, Aunt May, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? I'll pick up Uncle Norman later, and we can all have dinner at my house."
Aunt Mei shook her head: "With so many people, how can I let you do it? Just come to my house."
Gel smiled mysteriously: "Aunt May, you can see how I cook with magic later. It'll be much faster than you think."
Peter also tried to persuade them, and finally convinced Uncle Ben and Aunt May.
After bringing Uncle Ben and the other two over, Ger opened another portal to pick up Uncle Norman.
Uncle Norman had never imagined that Gel was the White Wizard, and he was quite startled by the portal. It was only after Harry came over to explain that he felt relieved and followed along.
"Ding-dong!"
Just as Ger had gathered everyone together, the doorbell rang. Ger sensed the person outside, smiled, and went across the garden to open the outer door.
"Good evening, Natasha and Sharon," Ger said, greeting the two of them.
Natasha was still wearing her full combat suit, presumably having come directly over after dealing with the Hammer Industries matter.
“I just came to ask Peter about Dr. Kurt. Chief Nick is worried that there might be other unexpected events, so I came to confirm,” Natasha said.
"Come in first." Ger led Natasha through the door, and Natasha then discovered that the room was bustling with activity, filled with a large group of people.
Uncle Ben and his family greeted Natasha warmly when they saw her, whom they had met a few times before.
Natasha led Peter and Wanda to another room, asked them a few questions, and even had Wanda use a portal to take her to the laboratory to confirm, before she felt relieved.
After reporting to Director Nick, Natasha finished her mission and finally relaxed. As she walked outside, she saw a group of people staring silently at the kitchen. Following their gaze, she was immediately drawn to their attention as well.
In the kitchen, only Ger was busy, but the refrigerator next to him opened automatically, and all sorts of ingredients such as tomatoes, pork, cheese, and cornstarch flew out of the refrigerator and then landed in the bowls and pots.
The knife automatically slices the meat, the sliced meat automatically flies into the pot, the pot automatically tosses the wok, the stir-fried dishes are automatically plated, and even the pizza baked in the oven automatically flies to the table.
In an instant, the room was filled with the aroma of various kinds of food.
"Is this how you usually cook?" Natasha sat down next to Wanda, somewhat questioning her life choices.
Is the magical ability that everyone envies just for cooking?
Wanda smiled sweetly: "Pietro and I used to help each other, but now my brother is more capable and can handle it all by himself."
Just then, Ger came over and brought over the last plate of roast chicken: "The dishes are all ready."
At the dining table, everyone began to eat.
As he ate, Gel described to everyone how he and Peter had defeated the bad guys that night: "You wouldn't believe it, those guys were so weak... Ivan was trying to cause trouble, but with a wave of my hand, he obediently walked out of his Iron Man suit... As for Dr. Kurt, he never even imagined we had a portal..."
Gel omitted all the thrilling parts, describing tonight's events as lighthearted and exciting.
After the story was told, everyone started chatting enthusiastically.
Looking at the people around him, Ger felt an immense sense of peace—all the people he knew in this life were here.
Perhaps this is the kind of peace I've been searching for.
