I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 801 Ultron is still logging in

Peter wasn't too surprised that the mansion prison was located in the Avengers' base. After all, ever since the Raft prison break, the security of supervillains had always been a problem. In the end, almost everyone agreed that until a prison that could guarantee absolute security was invented, it was most appropriate to put this thing in the Avengers' home.

At least that's what everyone else decided, and the Avengers didn't have any objections; it's better to bear the threat themselves.

However, this brought up Tony's old refrain: We need to expand our recruitment! Look, I've already arranged accommodation for all three hundred Avengers, and the monthly property fees are huge. How can we manage if no one lives there?

"Finally, there's a place for rest, activities, and gatherings. I don't know how to design this place, so I just designed it according to my imagination... a club."

Tony finally led Peter into the main building, where the first floor looked like a museum, filled with all sorts of Avengers' trophies, from the earliest Iron Monger armor helmet to more recent items, such as Kang's warship fragments.

The rooms behind were a mixed bag, and just as Tony had said, it was more like a lounge than a formal office area, with snacks, bookshelves, sofas and the like everywhere.

After Peter finished looking around, he looked at Tony and asked, "So I should be the last one to come here for sightseeing?"

"No, that's not it. Actually, T'Challa hasn't seen it yet. The others have, though, and guess what they said? Almost everyone said it's too empty, there's no life in it, and they don't plan to live here, my God..."

Tony rolled his eyes in exasperation and sighed, but then laughed: "The good news is, if they really don't plan to live here, they don't have anywhere else to go, since Avengers Tower has already been blown up."

For some reason, Tony seemed rather smug, as if this were a good thing. Peter looked around and then asked, "I have a question. Who lives here permanently now?"

“Well, Captain, it’s good that he doesn’t have to pay rent in Brooklyn anymore. Hank has a job as a university professor, Janet goes to various salons and basically won’t stay there, T’Challa is even less likely to stay, um… oh, and Banner, Banner and the Captain will live at the base.”

No wonder people say this place is basically empty; it's true, there's hardly anyone here.

Peter nodded somewhat helplessly: "I think I understand. I'll organize Otto's information as soon as possible and see if it can be of any use."

May Parker arrived at the charity banquet in her own car, just like any other day. There weren't any of the young people helping out; the place was bustling with people coming and going, a large portion of whom were job seekers. The wave of resignations at Stark Industries had only truly subsided long after Osborn Technologies announced its acquisition of Stark Industries, and during that time, former Stark Industries employees were looking for work almost daily.

Today was no exception. Mei looked at the long line of people at the front desk, shook her head helplessly, and then walked into the kitchen. Felicia and the others were not here today, so it naturally returned to the simplest and most classic white meal: stewed beans with various near-expiry vegetables and cheap canned meat.

It wasn't that the Charity Banquet didn't intend to buy better food, but rather that they had to provide three meals a day for hundreds of people. The Charity Banquet itself was a non-profit relief organization entirely reliant on donations, and without saving money, they simply couldn't provide that much food. Felicia even paid for the flour herself.

Moreover, since the Stark Industries Arc Reactor accident, fewer and fewer regions have been using it. Without competition, prices in New York and across the country have begun to rise again. "Good news, Ms. May, I've found a job."

An unemployed former Stark employee found May Parker in the kitchen. He stayed there for two weeks, and although he didn't live there, he would come to eat every day wearing a windbreaker, hoodie, and mask. May didn't mind his attire, and in order to help him find a job, she even gave him some extra money to buy some food.

"Oh, congratulations."

Mei smiled and looked at the young man in front of her: "I'm glad to see your life back on track."

"It's probably not quite official yet. Although the salary is enough to cover daily living expenses, there's still a three-month probationary period." As he spoke, he pulled money from his pocket: "This is what you gave me last time..."

“I’m giving you money not because I want you to pay it back or because I pity you, young man. It’s because I don’t want someone to be crushed by one accident. You need to eat something good at that time.”

Mei shook her head, picking up a pot of fairly thick Spam stewed beans as she said, "But if you want to help, why don't you tell me if that company is hiring? Maybe your colleagues who are going through the same thing need the job too."

"I think Roxon's newly established mechanical engineering department still needs a lot of people..."

Roxon's newly established mechanical engineering department? Isn't Roxon the company that rivals Stark in the business world? Aunt May thought for a while, but didn't say much, after all, that's the situation now.

She carried a spoon and a stew to the window and began ladling a plate of stew onto each plate. People who lived or sought food at the charity banquet came one after another to get their meals. During this process, Mei discovered something that surprised her: a homeless man who had previously suffered an accident and was now limping was walking normally today.

“Oh, Carlos, you…”

“I met God’s messenger, Mei, and I felt the gospel he was spreading.” The homeless man smiled as he accepted his lunch, saying, “He healed me without charging a penny and even hopes I will refer more patients to him. He didn’t prescribe any painkillers for me. With just a small surgery, I can become normal again.”

"Oh, that's really good news."

Mei smiled and expressed her joy to her friend, then realized something: was what this person was talking about the strange doctor Peter had mentioned earlier?
