What is it like to study at Midtown High School?

It was the night before Ellen's 14th birthday, and Ben Parker decided to go pick out a birthday present with his son.

"Can I pick a mountain bike?" Allen asked enthusiastically.

"Um, why do you need a mountain bike?" Ben was puzzled, "You and Peter can go to school together on the school bus."

Allen pouted: "What about high school?"

"Midtown High School isn't far away." Seeing his son's collapsed face, Ben laughed loudly, "Next year, I think a mountain bike would be a good 15th birthday present."

"Okay." Allen was a little happier, "Then I want a PS3."

"Why do boys your age want this?" Ben shrugged helplessly. "I thought boys your age wanted wisdom more."

"Wow, I gave Peter a pen for his 15th birthday, didn't I~" Allen smiled heartlessly, quickly changed into the Christmas sweater knitted by his mother and dragged his father out.

Although Christmas has passed, the streets are still full of Santa Claus and snowflake patterns. Alan likes his birthday very much. The end of the year and the beginning of the year feel that the whole world is celebrating for him.

Ben's impetuous son pulled the scarf a little tighter, and suddenly thought of another boy: "Speaking of which, why is Peter not at home lately?"

Allen wrinkled his nose: "Busy studying?"

Ben knocked on his son's forehead: "He has finished his final exams, what else is he studying?"

Allen covered his head and complained: "There is no end to learning, why are you hitting me?"

"It's you, the worthless one who knocked."

The two father and son were talking and laughing when suddenly there was commotion in front of them. Ben subconsciously pulled his son behind him. Allen could only see a man in a black coat pushing away from the crowd and running towards him through his father.

"A robber! He's a robber!" A gray-haired lady was crying from behind.

Allen took a step back subconsciously, and took Dad's arm.

But Ben frowned, pulled Alan's hand, and whispered: "Alan, you stand behind."

"Dad..." Alan was a little unwilling. There are so many people here, and there are many young and strong ones. Why should Dad be the leader?

"Alan, be obedient." Ben still smiled lovingly, but firmly broke away from Alan's hand, and walked forward in two or three steps, blocking the way for the robber to escape.

"Old man, get out of the way!" The robber was taken aback, and then pushed Ben viciously.

"Hey, young man, I don't approve of you hurting a lady." Ben grabbed the robber's hand tightly and twisted it behind his back. "You may have a chance to correct your mistakes..."

The robber struggled for a while but did not break free, and his face became more and more ugly, especially when he saw someone in the crowd took out his mobile phone and didn't know whether it was a video recording or calling the police.

Allen, who was watching nervously, suddenly saw the robber stretching his uncontrolled hand into his bosom, and suddenly had a bad feeling, but Ben still persuaded him patiently.

"Enough! You old man!" Just as Ben was trying to control the robber's other hand, the robber took advantage of the situation and turned around cursing, with a pistol in his hand.

"No! Don't!" Allen screamed at the same time as the gunshot, and at that moment he seemed to see the thread of life wrapped around him suddenly break.

The gun was pointed at Ben's chest. The man who had been humorous, kind and just for decades fell down in surprise. Allen rushed over quickly, not even noticing that the robber fled away from the panicked crowd up.

"Dad!" Allen jumped to the side of his fallen father, trembling uncontrollably. He wanted to cover the wound on Ben's chest, but he didn't dare to do it. "Dad..."

Ben touched the wound on his chest belatedly, and asked weakly, "Alan?"

Allen froze for a moment, then realized that he had stopped time unconsciously, and the people watching around them, with expressions of horror or curiosity, were all frozen, as if they were acting A hilarious mime.

The murderer who pushed the crowd to escape also stood there in a ridiculous posture.

Allen wiped away the tears that flowed all over his face at some point, and told his father with sobs: "I am a mutant."

Ben was a little surprised, but more worried: "Alan..."

"Dad! Wait for me for a while, I'll go..."

"No, you can't..." Ben knew what his son was going to do, and held him back.

Allen held his hand with an aggrieved face, and begged, "Dad, I'll go and get rid of that murderer, and then send you to the hospital, before we have time..."

Ben shook his head: "Alan, I know my injury..."

Allen suddenly found that his father's body temperature was still dropping, and his face was getting dark, and his face turned pale immediately: "Why is this happening? It's obviously possible..." He had experimented on Nick before, as long as he could touch people, he would Can bring people into my time.

But Ben's time was obviously still passing, and he could even see the white light wrapping around him breaking into pieces and disappearing.

"Dad..." Allen finally cried bitterly.

Ben patted his son weakly: "Alan, don't push yourself too much..."

Allen raised his head with difficulty, gritted his teeth under Ben's worried eyes, stood up, and walked towards the murderer.

"Ellen..."

Allen first adjusted the direction of the man's hand holding the gun, and then pressed the cold muzzle of the gun against his forehead.

He really wanted to kill this man to avenge his father, and no one would find him, but...he also knew that his father was looking at him worriedly at this moment, and if he fired this shot, that worry would turn into disappointment and regret.

But Allen finally fired, aiming at the killer's leg.

At least not let him escape.

Back to Ben, Allen released the control of time. The onlookers who came back to their senses were surprised to find that the fugitive had been shot by his own gun and was lying on the ground crying. Immediately, someone started calling the police and calling for ambulance. car.

Allen was in no mood to care what they were doing, he could only hold his father's hand and apologize: "I should have reacted faster..." Before the murderer pulled the trigger, before the bullet passed through his father's chest.

This is the first time since he discovered his ability, he has realized that he is so incompetent.

Ben shook his head slightly.

"Uncle Ben!" Peter, who had returned home late, suddenly squeezed out from the crowd, "Alan!"

Allen ignored Peter, he just held Ben's hand tightly and kept saying "I'm sorry", his face was washed white with tears.

Ben panted weakly, looked at his fragile son and his nephew who was also full of tears, and finally he shook the hands of the two, leaving a sentence that would change the lives of the two: "Ai Len...Peter...with great power comes great responsibility..."

"Uncle Ben!" Peter, who was discovering his abilities, was shocked.

Allen can't remember clearly what happened afterwards, including Peter's loss of control when he saw the robber, how Peter took himself home forcefully, and how sad May felt when she heard the news. fainting.

I don't know how long after that, Allen could hardly forget how the evil bullet ruthlessly pierced his father's chest. He began to suffer from insomnia silently, and would wake up from nightmares when he rarely fell asleep, and then heard Peter worrying through the door. inquired about the situation.

Condition?Allen didn't know what was going on.

Those days were elongated by him in a crazy way, he didn't know how many days he had turned a day into, how many months a month had become, that winter vacation was frighteningly long, and he used his abilities without restraint , recalling that night over and over again during the elongated time.

Some people say that certain painful emotions will be diluted by time, but no, even in Alan's time, it seems that a century has passed, but those pains have not faded, but finally settled into a solid, heavy The ground fell under Alan's heart, and it was pulled so that there was no pain anywhere in his body.

Allen pretended to be calm in this long pain, at least he couldn't make Mei suffer for him.

After reaching his limit again, Allen passed out in a shattering pain. When he woke up again, he found that he was exhausted and could no longer reach his previous ability.

Oh, that's fine too.

Allen thought this way, and then returned to his normal life with the pain that had been settled by time. He was surprised to find that he was no longer interested in anything. He touched his chest, where the heavy weight fell. The object, carrying all his emotions, only left a mask for the surviving Allen to face life.

But being tired of life is sinful. Allen watched his mother who re-entered the workplace and Peter who grew up as Spider-Man silently buried the dead part of Allen.
