American Comics: The Girl Next Door is Spider-Gwen

"You don't understand!"

Connors raised one arm to block the employees, "This will be a great advancement for humanity, and you are committing a sin against mankind!"

"Th-This…" Several movers hesitated, looking at the supervisor. They weren't told they'd have to deal with fighting, this would require extra payment.

"Connors…" The supervisor's face darkened, speaking fiercely, "I'll give you one more day to move out! If I see you here tomorrow in the lab, I'll have someone throw you out, you better save some face for yourself."

"Hmph!"

With that, he tossed his hand and snorted, leading his team away.

"One day… only one day…"

Connors leaned against the metal instrument, his body collapsing to the ground in exhaustion.

"One day is not enough to complete the clinical trial!"

He looked at a row of green reagents on the table, a wild look flashing in his eyes. He lunged forward, grabbing a vial, injected it into a syringe, and aiming it at his arm...

...

Stark Tower.

"You're just asking me to make these things? Then you can come get them another day."

Tony looked at the web shooter design from Black Spider and commented, "Although it's not very difficult, it's quite creative, especially this web solvent."

"Alright, I'll come pick it up another day."

Ye Li added, "Also, make a few sets of armor for the Female Knight and Ghost Spider. You know, not ordinary clothes, otherwise, I could just hire a tailor."

"More sets?" Tony replied speechlessly. He's asking for several sets, and my Iron Man suit is still under development.

"Fine, but that'll take time."

"May I ask, are you a superhero team?"

Tony glanced at Ye Li's Spider Knight suit, "I can see this suit is quite good, but why…"

"This wasn't made by me. If you meet the Female Knight and Ghost Spider, don't mention this to them."

Ye Li finished his instructions and prepared to leave, "You can handle the armor. I hope to see the skill level of a top genius."

It's best not to mention the identity of Black Spider too much. Tony is a smart man; the more you say, the more likely you'll make a mistake.

...

Early this morning.

Ye Li was driving his flashy modified car at full speed, with Jessica sitting beside him, and Gwen and Skye in the backseat.

"Brother, it's rare that you're taking us to school."

Jessica looked at the scenery passing by the window, feeling happy. "I don't have to jump to school myself today~"

Now, she jumps between buildings on her way to school every day. The ability training is a bonus, but mainly she does it to avoid being recognized on the road.

At school, with teachers around and Jessica having some prestige, she isn't harassed by others.

"Can't you fly yet, Jessica? You need to work harder." Gwen teased from the backseat.

"Gwen, what do you know about superheroes?"

Jessica deliberately hit back, "Focus on your Ghost Spider cosplay, and be the mascot for our club."

She glanced at the silent Ye Li again, "Big brother, don't be so quiet~ There are three beautiful women in the car, say something."

"I'm driving, what do you want me to say?"

"Why are you taking us to school today?"

Ye Li looked at Skye in the rearview mirror, "Skye, you tell them."

"Because the teacher is going to school to teach today," Skye explained.

"Teacher? Who, Li?"

Jessica was puzzled by Skye's title and turned to ask, "Wait, Skye, didn't you drop out? How come you're here too?"

"Because I'm now the teacher's intern assistant."

Skye blinked her big black eyes playfully, "I'm the obedient type~"

"Assistant?"

Gwen: s(?｀ヘ′?;)ゞ??

"Skye, are you trying to seduce Li?"

Gwen pouted and went to tickle Skye's armpits, "Little vixen!"

"Hahaha~ Gwen, stop~" Skye dodged, but couldn't match Gwen's agility.

She was caught in Gwen's arms and stroked like a cat, being teased to the point of tears from laughter.

"Skye, aren't you my assistant? Why did you go over to Li?"

Jessica also got angry, "Traitor! I've been jumping around for brother's pocket money, my legs are sore."

"Huh?" Gwen stopped her actions, puzzled, "Jessica, what do Li's pocket money and your sore legs have to do with each other?"

"Uh, nothing... I meant…"

Jessica's tone became somewhat guilty as she continued, "We're good friends, like family. Gwen, don't bully Skye…"

"What are you talking about?"

Gwen gave her a suspicious look, peering at Jessica's outfit.

She wore a youthful, sexy pair of shorts, with sheer black tights underneath, and small brown boots on her feet.

Since becoming the Female Knight, Jessica seemed to have changed her fashion style.

She always wore smooth stockings, changing styles almost every day, making the boys at school go crazy.

With her smart mind and little mischievous look, Gwen concluded, "Jessica, could it be that you…"

"I didn't, I'm not, stop making things up!" Jessica quickly denied.

You've admitted it without even realizing... Ye Li gave her a deadpan look.

Three women, a drama. This is why he doesn't want to talk.

"Wow! What's that!"

Jessica suddenly screamed, as if trying to change the subject.

"Just now, it seemed like…"

Skye, with tears in her eyes from being tickled and lying on Gwen's lap, also pressed her face to the car window and said, "I saw something green flash by."

"It wasn't just a maybe!"

Gwen looked ahead and shouted to Ye Li, who was driving, "Li, stop the car! Something's happening ahead!"

Ahead of them, traffic had already come to a stop.

A muscular, green-skinned lizardman with a large, bumpy tail was jumping back and forth on the stalled cars, creating dents on the rooftops. Pedestrians on the sidewalk were panicking and fleeing from it! The sound of car alarms was everywhere.

"That's a huge lizard!"

Jessica widened her eyes, "Did it escape from a circus?"

Ye Li's eyes narrowed, and he muttered a name, "It's Connors."

Jessica: ●.??

"Brother, are you…"

She hesitated, "Did you have some conflict with Dr. Connors? Why are you cursing at him like that?"

"…"

Ye Li replied with certainty, "I can tell, there's a seven-part resemblance in his brows and eyes!"

('◇')?Jessica looked at the lizardman with a strange expression.

That green, large head, the grotesque mouth, and the disgusting saliva dripping…

You can tell that?

It still feels like brother is just insulting him.

But Gwen's eyes flickered. She remembered Dr. Connors' research; it did seem to be related to lizard genes…

Could it really be...?

"Roar!"

The lizardman had no rationality, its vertical pupils filled with a hunting desire.

Destroying the vehicles didn't satisfy it; it locked onto a little girl on the sidewalk who was running slowly due to short legs, and quickly pounced toward her.

"Not good!" Jessica was too slow to get out of the car, feeling anxious.

"Let me handle this!"

"Gotcha!!" Ye Li turned the steering wheel, the car skidded and curved, then swerved and crashed into the lizardman, sending it flying off the road.

The impact made the car tremble, but both Ye Li and Jessica were physically exceptional, so they weren't affected.

Skye swayed a bit, feeling dizzy, and was held protectively by Gwen.

"Cool! Brother, you're amazing!"

"Leave the rest to me!"

Jessica opened her backpack and started searching, "Hey, where did I put it?"

"Why is it all homework, where's my stuff?"

"It's getting up…" Gwen leaned over Jessica's seat and reminded her, "Jessica, hurry up."

"Here it comes, here it comes!"

Jessica took out a mask and put it on her face. The metallic mask had a beautifully curved design, a new model.

Ye Li looked at her speechlessly, "You've already been exposed, why bother with all this nonsense?"

"This is called a sense of ritual." Jessica took out a metallic hairband, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and the hairband had "Female Knight" engraved on it in English.

"..."

Ye Li saw that the lizardman had already locked onto them.

The big guy looked very angry...

Its bright green vertical pupils locked onto their vehicle.

"Roar——!"

The lizardman used all four limbs, rapidly approaching them.

Just as it was about to attack.

Ye Li focused his thoughts.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept through, lifting the dust from the ground and creating a cloud of dust in the air!

The situation made the lizardman pause for a moment.

"The monster has charged!"

The crowd watching from a distance was also concerned about the car owner's fate, "He won't get hurt, right?"

The dust quickly dissipated.

At the spot.

The car was gone, and only a tall, slender figure remained.

Jessica's ponytail swayed slightly in the wind, her long legs wrapped in black stockings standing straight.

On her hands, a pair of silver tiger claws gleamed brightly.

Not to mention, she looked really cool before she even spoke.

Ye Li, already driving the car away, complimented, "Jessica looks pretty awesome when she's serious."

The next second.

Jessica charged at the lizardman!

"The Female Knight makes her entrance!"

"Big lizard, take this!"

"..."

Ye Li rubbed his forehead, okay, I give up…

Although he was awkwardly shouting.

But Jessica's movements were still very swift.

She closed the distance and delivered a high kick with a swooshing sound!

Jessica was 1.7 meters tall, with more than a meter of that being her legs.

Added with Ye Li's usual special training.

With this high kick, her legs formed a slanted split, the height exceeding her own head.

Although the lizardman was very tall, she still managed to kick it right on the pointed chin from a near-limit distance.

Bang—!

With a dull thud, the battle began.

After learning the martial arts Ye Li taught her, Jessica's fighting style against superhumans became much more methodical, and with her strong physique, she was able to fight effortlessly.

Apart from a few holes in her socks, she was almost completely unharmed.

"Jessica has gotten so strong."

Gwen, watching from the car, felt like she had learned a lot—Jessica mentioned that Li had been guiding her, and Gwen wondered when Li would come to teach her.

On the street, the graceful figure moved nimbly, and her flashy combat skills made the onlookers feel like they were watching a blockbuster film. They cheered loudly, and many couldn't resist recording it with their phones.

"So cool! The Female Knight!"

"Beat this monster!"

"Go for it!"

This time, Jessica really gained a lot of popularity.

"Hah!"

Maybe it's because last time, they saw the power of Ye Li knocking out the rhino-man with a single punch.

Her tiger claws and kicks all aimed for the lizardman's head.

This strategy was correct.

The lizardman, with its tough scales and powerful healing abilities, would be fine if attacked elsewhere.

Only by focusing on its head could it be made dizzy.

Moreover, with Jessica's combination of punches and kicks, the beastly instinct in the lizardman's eyes faded significantly, and it regained some semblance of rationality.

It shook its head and spat out some words, "I... wha... gene…"

"It can talk?" Jessica stepped on its chest, then quickly pulled away using the force.

Just as she was about to assess the situation, the lizardman suddenly turned its head and quickly crawled away in the opposite direction.

"Trying to run!" Jessica wasn't slow either, and with a few big jumps, she chased after it.

But when the lizardman reached a sewer grate, it lifted the lid and crawled down.

As Jessica reached the edge of the sewer grate, the stench hit her immediately.

"Ugh, it smells terrible."

She put away her tiger claws, waved her hand, and complained, "Forget it, I won't chase it anymore."

A certain superhero decided to call it quits right there, unwilling to crawl into the sewer.

wu——

With a graceful drift, Ye Li pulled the car up beside Jessica. "Get in, Jessica. You did well this time, but we're already an hour late. We should head to school now."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Jessica quickly hopped into the car, escaping the scene.
