What is it like to study at Midtown High School?

"...His body has been completely fused with the venom, that is to say, he now also has part of the ability of the venom." Dr. Curen concluded with some surprise after thoroughly examining Nick Brownie's body.

Unknowingly, the venomous Nick raised a hand, looked back and forth, spit out a black spider silk from the back of his hand, and stuck to the ceiling with a "snap".

Peter gasped inwardly, but he still didn't understand why the boy named "Nick" turned into Venom, and why Dr. Cullen called him over.

Dr. Collen couldn't answer Peter's questions. In fact, when Peter really appeared in the laboratory, he was a little confused. The fat doctor hesitated for a long time, and suddenly remembered something, so he slapped him Said: "Didn't you pour the separating agent on Nick when he turned into venom?"

"Me???" Peter was shocked, "Why would I do this?"

"In order to subdue the venom!" Dr. Ke Lun's expression was taken for granted.

"So I caused his body to break down???" Peter was full of "EXOme", and he glanced at Nick Brownie, "But why don't I remember the separating agent?"

Nick shrugged, and there were three black question marks on his head.

The three of them looked at each other in the laboratory for a while, all of them were a little baffled. In the end, they could only conclude that Dr. Collen was old and confused.

But Peter still remembered something wrong. He looked at Nick who was controlling the venom with his will: "You know me?"

Nick shook his head: "I don't know."

Then why did you call out my name the first time you saw me?Peter was interrupted by Dr. Kelun before he could finish speaking: "Speaking of which, you should be classmates, I remember you are all students of Midtown High School?"

Peter opened his mouth, and finally left the underground laboratory without asking any more questions.

Not right.

There's a lot going wrong.

Peter's memory of venom is limited to sending it into the Aegis aircraft carrier. In Dr. Collen's intermittent narration, he vaguely remembered the event of the Venom Legion attacking the aircraft carrier, but he had no impression of how to deal with it. .

This is not right.

Peter repeatedly recalled things about venom, and finally felt that the memory had been stirred up into a messy lake, as if something crucial had been hung on a high branch, and he couldn't reach it no matter how he jumped.

Peter still lived his college life peacefully, but he often hesitated when walking on campus. He would occasionally stop and look back, but there was nothing behind him, only a sense of emptiness.

Then that strange girl appeared.

It was an ordinary weekend, Peter went home with a box of eggs for lunch as usual, but found a girl about thirteen or fourteen standing in front of Parker's house and looking up.

Peter followed her gaze and found that she was looking at his room on the second floor.

The girl noticed Peter very quickly. Surprisingly, she neither avoided Peter's scrutiny nor turned away. Instead, she met Peter directly, as if it was a matter of course.

Peter noticed that the girl was dressed strangely. She looked like she was wearing sackcloth on her body, plus those cumbersome bead chains on her hands and neck—a real Professor Trelawney from Harry Potter.

Even so, the girl has a delicate doll-like face, her black curly hair is tied up casually, and many curls fall scatteredly on her slender shoulders, which matches the girl's indifferent and rebellious expression very well.

But for some reason, a girl's charming smile suddenly appeared in Peter's mind.

"Peter." The girl took out a cigarette out of nowhere, lit it neatly, and held it in her hand.

Why did so many people who knew me suddenly appear?Peter twitched the corner of his mouth: "You are?"

"Melanie." The girl extended a hand and briefly shook Peter's hand, "Melanie Strange."

This surname... Peter rubbed his nose, as if he had heard it somewhere.

But Melanie immediately picked up the words: "I am the daughter of Stephen Strange, maybe you have heard of his other name—Doctor Strange."

"Ah-ahhh-Doctor Strange has a daughter?" Peter almost screamed.

He once met Doctor Strange under Danny's recommendation, and defeated the nightmare with him-but he never knew that Doctor Strange had a daughter!

"But... even if you are the doctor's daughter, why did you come to me?" Peter didn't think he had a lot of communication with Strange Persia, let alone this inexplicable Melanie Strange.

Melanie spit out a broken smoke ring and raised her eyebrows: "Peter Parker, or——Spiderman? I want to know, have you met some people who seem to have known each other recently, but have never met? Or Let me ask you more bluntly—do you think, have you ever met me?"

Peter remained silent. He looked at the girl in front of him seriously. The girl was still standing there as a matter of course, letting him look at her frankly. A strange face—a familiar face, yes, he saw the girl's face from a distance. I feel this way from time to time, and this feeling has appeared more than once recently.

"Melanie...do you know a guy named Nick Brownie?"

Melanie shook her head, then looked up at Peter: "I think that's the other guy."

Peter didn't answer, but asked instead: "Why?" Seeing that the girl didn't seem to respond, he continued to ask, "Why are you here? What do you know? About me? About Spiderman? About Nick... Brownie?"

The girl was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed. She snuffed out the cigarette and replied with a smile, "Parker, I don't know anything."

Peter frowned, and calmly blocked the way for the girl to leave.

"Get out of the way, Parker." The girl raised her eyebrows lazily, "I don't think Spider-Man is used to shooting an ordinary middle school student."

middle School student?Peter blurted out: "Are you also a student at Midtown High?"

Melanie looked at Peter, but there seemed to be a smile in her eyes: "Another clue, huh?"

Peter was speechless and watched as Melanie pushed himself away.

Nick Brownie, Venom.Melanie Strange, Doctor Strange.

Peter couldn't think of any connection between these two groups of people. The only clue so far is that they, like himself, both attended Midtown High School. After thinking about it for a long time, Peter decided to go directly to Midtown High School to check the two people. data of.

Although Coulson resigned as the principal of the high school after Peter and Sam and others graduated, some personnel have not completely withdrawn from Midtown High School-for example, Stan, who still sweeps the ground in this middle school. identity of.

Peter quickly used Stan's relationship to obtain the information of the students in recent years, and sorted out the detailed information of Brownie and Strange that night.

Nick Brownie, one class lower than Peter, his parents both work in a chemical research institute, he himself is also an extremely good chemical genius ("No wonder he can develop a separating agent for venom."), except for some partiality and personality Apart from being withdrawn, Peter couldn't see anything unusual about him.In the first semester of high school, Nick became Venom and was sent to the underground laboratory of S.H.I.E.L.D.

As for Melanie Strange, the identity of this girl is a bit strange, she looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she is only one year younger than Peter.She was transferred to Midtown High School at the end of the first semester of her first year of high school—in the same class as Nick Brownie, but her previous school status did not exist at all, and the information on her mother was also blank. As for her father, Stephen Stowe Mr. Lankey, is a professor of classics?The girl's grades improved rapidly, but she dropped out of school due to illness in the first semester of high school. This is the second doubt.

Peter carefully studied the relationship between the two, and found that even though they were students in the same class, Nick and Melanie didn't seem to have any intersection. In fact, the relationship between the two of them could be called blank.

Two strange guys who are almost in a vacuum, what do they have to do with what happened to Peter?What happened a year and a half ago?

Peter has a headache and he thinks he needs help.

In Peter's memory, he just finished his training under Coulson a year and a half ago, separated from Sam, Luke and the others and started to act as an independent hero... Wait, a year and a half ago, something really happened big event.

Peter froze suddenly, then quickly turned on the computer, and soon, a row of news pages appeared on the screen.

A year and a half ago, the federal government proposed the "Superhero Registration Act", which caused a quarrel between the opposition with Captain America as the core and the supporters with Iron Man as the core. The dispute ended with Captain America leading a part of the Avengers to leave.In the end, the proposal of the "Registration Act" was shelved, and the top management of SHIELD also changed. Iron Man took over SHIELD, and Captain America led the underground Avengers to act in his personal capacity.

Peter looked over and over again, but he couldn't see what this big event would have to do with the two high school students. At that time, one of them was lying in the laboratory and kept decomposing himself, and the other was seriously ill at home.

In fact, the more Peter looked at it, the more he felt that he was terrified that he thought about it for a long time before he remembered the "Registration Act"...

Could it be that his memory has started to decline since puberty? /(ㄒoㄒ)/～～

Peter with a shouting face struggled for a while, but decided to go to Aegis. If he could meet Stark, he would ask about the "Registration Act". If he couldn't, he would check his mind.

He vaguely felt that some recent events were related to his own memory.

His gaze involuntarily fell on the cardboard box in the corner, and Peter pursed his lips. He decided to find out the truth about the star.

""Act"? Little bug, why did you suddenly think of this?" Iron Man happened to be in the building, but he seemed to be busy designing a new armor, and was not in the mood to respond to Peter's question, ""Act" The matter is over, put aside the dispute, each has a choice."

"Spiders are not insects..." Peter retorted subconsciously, then stuck out his tongue and turned back to the topic, "But why don't I remember such a big event? Tony, do you remember? What happened in those days?"

"If you really want to know," Stark picked up a wrench, "I can ask Miss Friday to compile a detailed report for you-you will know how talkative that old captain is."

Peter tapped himself on the head: "Tony... I can also look up the information myself, the problem is, I suspect that something happened that we didn't even know—"

"Since we don't know, how do you know what happened at that time?" Stark, who was stuck by a problem, finally couldn't help interrupting Peter.

"Because something's wrong." Peter hesitated for a while, and finally didn't know where to start.

Stark frowned, his bright brown eyes were full of helplessness towards the teenager, and finally he was defeated by the melancholy on the young man's face: "Friday, stop working and bring me a cup of coffee." Then he looked at Peter , "Tell me, Werther, what happened?"

Peter smiled helplessly, carefully recalled the recent events for a while, and then slowly told Stark about Nick and Melanie: "...this is very strange, they all seem to know me, and I , also felt deja vu to them - but we shouldn't have anything to do with each other, except that we both went to Midtown High. And, around the time of the "Act" incident, they both left the school...Tony , I think there must be something to do with it.”

Seeing that Stark just frowned and didn't speak, Peter simply continued: "Actually, I think something happened before this, big or small, but I didn't care. I cleaned the room a few days ago At that time, I actually sorted out a lot of things that I have no impression of..."

"So, Peter, what do you think?" Stark looked at the distressed teenager, "What do you think should have happened?"

Peter smiled bitterly: "I don't know, I don't know what those two high school students will have to do with the Registration Act, Tony, I don't know anything."

Stark took the coffee handed over by dummy, took a sip slowly, and asked slowly, "Peter, do those two children really have anything to do with the Act?"

Peter looked up and stared at Stark, not realizing what he was saying for a while.

Stark drank his coffee in one gulp, put down his cup and asked Peter: "Two high school students from the same school as you, a "Superhero Registration Act", Peter, those two children may not have anything to do with the "Act" , but what does it have to do with you—with Spider-Man."

"But... I don't remember them..." Peter was stunned.

"Yes...you don't remember...and why?" Stark was also a little puzzled, he stroked his mustache, and suddenly remembered something, "Peter, when the "Act" incident you should Haven't joined the Avengers yet?"

"No way..." Peter patted his forehead and thought about it carefully for a while, "I had just graduated from Coulson's staff at that time, so I shouldn't have participated in the "Act" incident."

Stark's eyes became strange: "Then who went with us to capture the Captain and the Winter Soldier?"

Peter recalled the news he found: "Vision, Black Panther, Iron Patriot, Agent Romanov... plus you?"

Stark stared at Peter for a while, and after confirming that the other party was not joking, he slowly asked: "At that time, the captain had Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Falcon, Ant-Man and Scarlet Witch, a total of six people, and my side Also exactly six people."

He looked at Spider-Man, whose face was gradually turning pale, and uttered the last sentence: "At that time, I still have you."

Peter felt his memory tumbling again, and what was even more frightening was that, following Stark's narration, he seemed to really remember the fight, and he even remembered that he tripped over Ant-Man's body with spider silk. "Colossus" - and then he was thrown to the ground by Ant-Man, breaking two ribs and one leg.

Stark's expression was not very good, he finally realized the seriousness of the matter from Peter's expression, and anxiously ordered Miss Friday to order another cup of coffee.

"Tony... I really can't remember... what did I forget?" Peter pulled his hair, his eyes were red, "My memory is not broken, I can remember what happened every year and every month, but It's as if certain details—certain parts have been under the Ignore Charm." He looked at Iron Man, "Once you think about it, something is wrong."

"wait...wait..." Iron Man frowned and drank another cup of coffee, took a pen and paper from the workbench, and wrote "Peter Parker/Spiderman", "Nick Brownie", The four groups of words "Melanie Strange" and "Registration Act", and then connected Peter with the other two names, and then connected "Spiderman" and "Registration Act".

"Peter, let's assume that you have indeed forgotten something." Stark wrote "amnesia" on the side, and then circled it separately, "Then you and these two children should have known each other before, but you don't remember .”

Peter nodded, and then circled "Midtown High" next to the three of them.

"Yes, the connection between you should be this middle school." Stark clicked the words on the paper, "Then why do you know each other? Do you have anything in common?"

Peter shook his head. "If there's anything we have in common, it's that we don't know many people—I checked their profiles and they don't have any friends."

Stark chuckled: "You mean there is no relationship between these two people."

Peter thought for a while, then nodded: "I asked their common teacher, Brownie and Strange are both loners, and they don't seem to have even spoken to each other."

"So, how did the three of you meet?" Stark looked at Peter and asked softly.

Peter froze for a moment, then looked into Stark's eyes full of meaning, and said his guess: "There is a fourth person... yes! There should be a fourth person, the fourth person who connects us together people."

Stark was noncommittal, but put a question mark next to the names of the three people, circled them, and turned to look at the other two words: "Your memory of the bill incident is also wrong, and according to the comparison we just made, the difference It's all about whether or not you've joined the hunt for the Captain—why?"

Peter thought hard, and finally gave up: "I don't know... In fact, I didn't find anything unusual about this memory after thinking about it."

"The arrest operation... well, you were injured during that operation, so I just let you go home and rest, do you remember all this?"

"Remember, I even remember Aunt May making super delicious pies for me for a week after my injury." Peter shrugged helplessly.

Stark frowned: "But, I think these things that you have forgotten should have common characteristics..." He clicked on the lonely question mark, "It should all be related to this fourth person."

Peter looked at the question mark, full of melancholy—what kind of person had he forgotten?When he first came to Stark for help, he was full of vigilance, but looking at this paradoxical question mark, he didn't feel scared or vigilant.

Stark's brain was running at high speed, and the pen in his hand drew circles and circles around the question mark, and then stopped abruptly: "Peter, this fourth person, he knows that you are injured."

"Huh?" Peter was still immersed in the melancholy and didn't recover.

Stark dropped his pen and stuffed the paper into Peter's hands: "The fourth person... this person knows each other with you and those two high school students—maybe they are quite close, he or she also knows you Injured in the bill incident, so - you don't remember any of these things - this person is gone!"

Peter was completely shocked by Stark's words, and after a long time, he said bluntly: "He must be a very important person to me."

Otherwise, why does the thought of this person make him feel so uncomfortable.

Stark spread his hands: "I don't know about that."

"I'm going to find Nick and Meera!" Peter stood up, clutching the paper tightly.

"Hmm..." Stark touched his mustache, "I think there is one more person worth asking."

Peter froze for a moment, then said carefully: "Captain?"

Stark nodded openly, then curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "Vision will send a love letter to Scarlet Witch every two days, and I will ask him to send me a letter later."

"……Thank you."

The author has something to say: Why is Allen forgotten by the whole world?Because in the law of time travel, what has happened cannot be changed, so Allen was very desperate when he saw Captain America’s second bus and missed it—he had to reverse the future, he couldn’t let the captain die, otherwise It is bound to move towards the future that he can see.And saving the US team means that the timeline of this world is disrupted, which will lead to the collapse of this world.

Why can Ouroboros time travel at will?Because his timeline is closed, he exists in all possible futures at the same time, and he exists across all parallel universes.And Allen is not Ouroboros, he only has one timeline. If he wants to change the death of Captain America, he can only use his own timeline to repair the broken timeline and let the world continue to run.

So this better future is beyond his reach. He can only continue to go back until he disappears in the timeline, and all existence about him will be erased.

Of course, the above are all Alan's assumptions, in fact... Do you still remember the overlapping figure that disappeared with him?

PS: About how the "Act" incident ended, a narrative will be given in the next chapters, but it should already be seen that the relationship between Iron Man and the US team is not very rigid, right?
