Hearing this, Spider-Gwen's face turned even redder, and she punched Ryan in the chest: "Go to hell!"
"But you've come at the right time. I have something serious to tell you." Ryan didn't mind, holding Spider-Gwen as they sat on the bed.
"Mhm." Spider-Gwen didn't resist, instead curling up obediently in Ryan's arms like a little kitten.
Ryan reached out and pulled the shy Gwen out from under the covers, holding her in his arms as well, saying speechlessly:
"Alright, little Gwen, stop hiding. It's not like you two haven't seen each other naked before. What's there to be shy about..."
Gwen: (Red-hot kettle.jpg)
Spider-Gwen: Hehe! (Mischievous little devil smile.jpg)
Ryan ignored the eye contact between the two and said to Spider-Gwen:
"I just told little Gwen. In a couple of days, you two will accompany me on a trip. After a visit to Asgard, we'll go on a long journey to choose your own Symbiotes."
Hearing this, Spider-Gwen stopped teasing the shy Gwen with her eyes and asked in confusion:
"Symbiotes? Like the Bio-suits you and Harry wear? Is it to increase our power?"
Spider-Gwen was very smart and immediately realized Ryan's true intention.
Ryan naturally had nothing to deny and nodded: "Yeah. With your strength, you might have been able to handle the disasters that happened in the past..."
"But you should have noticed that the recent incidents are getting bigger and bigger. If things keep escalating while you stay in place, it will undoubtedly be very dangerous!"
"So I plan to give your power a boost. No, not just you, the entire Spider Family needs an upgrade. This time, I'm planning to equip everyone in the Spider Family with Symbiote suits!"
"So we're going to the Symbiote Planet to bring all those millions of Symbiotes back to Earth!"
Hearing this, both Gwens agreed and didn't see any problem with it.
The only possible issue was the controllability of the Symbiotes themselves.
After all, they were aware that Symbiotes have their own thoughts and the characteristic of taking control of their hosts.
But they also believed that since their man had made this decision, he must have prepared for it!
After all, Ryan never fought a battle he wasn't prepared for!
And the truth was indeed so!
Ryan planned to get the Symbiotes now not only because he was confident he could face Knull, but also because he now had the ability to control the Symbiotes and prevent them from taking over their hosts.
That was the mind stone and the soul stone!
He had already experimented and found that the mind stone and soul stone were effective even on Symbiotes.
For example, he could freely modify Riot's memories and control its mind!
Once he got the reality stone and collected all six infinity stones, he would only need a snap of his fingers to turn all Symbiotes into his obedient little puppies!
Alright, now that the serious business was settled, it was time for the next matter.
Ryan threw the two Gwens in his arms onto the bed, an 'evil' smile appearing on his face.
Spider-Gwen understood instantly and quickly said, "Wait... wait, I just finished a mission. At least let me change out of my suit and take a shower first?"
Gwen also nodded vigorously, "Me... me too. I just... uh, finished too. I want to take a shower first as well!"
"Sure, then I'll shower with you~" Ryan shrugged, bent down, and slung one over each shoulder, striding toward the indoor bathroom.
Gwen quickly kicked her legs and patted Ryan's back, "Wait, May and the others will be back soon!"
Hearing this, Ryan's mind moved, and the Space Ring flew out and attached itself to the door, enveloping the entire room in blue light.
"Alright, this place is now space-locked by me. Even if you scream until your throats are raw, no one will come to 'save' you~"
Spider-Gwen, Gwen: Nooo, help~
The next day...
Morning.
Peter rubbed his eyes and went downstairs to the dining room as usual. He sat in his spot at the table and poured a glass of milk.
At that moment, a plate was placed in front of him.
He sighed, and without looking up, he resignedly picked up his fork and put a piece of food into his mouth.
But as it entered his mouth, the torture he expected his taste buds to suffer didn't come. Instead, a sense of delicious comfort and salvation washed over them!
This made Peter's eyes widen, and he exclaimed, "Oh! My God! For real? I can't believe it, Aunt May's cooking has actually improved enough to be edible!"
Slap!
The next second, the shouting Peter felt a familiar pain at the back of his head.
Wait, this strength isn't right!
It wasn't Aunt May, it was...
Peter turned around in surprise to see the tall figure behind him: "Ryan, you're back!"
Ryan smiled helplessly and poked Peter's forehead with his finger: "If May heard what you just said, you'd be sleeping on the streets this month!"
Hearing this, Peter remembered his thoughtless words.
He quickly looked around nervously, and only let out a long sigh of relief when he didn't see May in the dining room.
Good, good, May wasn't there, or he'd really be finished!
Seeing that May wasn't around, Peter scratched his head and chuckled: "Hehe, Ryan, when did you get back? I asked Gwen yesterday, and didn't she say you weren't back yet?"
Ryan placed a plate of food in front of Peter and said calmly:
"Yesterday. But your eldest sister-in-law only found out when she got back last night. I was with your younger sister-in-law during the day."
"Also, go wake Harry up for breakfast. I'm going to take breakfast up to Gwen and the others first."
Peter was stunned: "Why do you have to call Harry down to eat, but you're taking it up to Gwen and the others?"
Ryan looked at him, feeling at times that there was nothing he could do with his simple-minded cousin. He said speechlessly:
"They can't get out of bed right now. Can Harry not get out of bed too?"
Peter frowned: "Can't get out of bed? Why? Are they injured? But they were fine yesterday... Ohhhhhh~"
Halfway through, Peter suddenly realized and immediately gave Ryan a thumbs-up, showing his admiration!
Ryan waved his hand, indicating it was just a basic operation, nothing to brag about!
Then, the two of them walked upstairs together.
Peter and Harry's rooms were on the second floor, while Ryan's was on the third.
So on the second floor, Peter waved to Ryan and walked toward Harry's room. Without knocking, he pushed the door open.
The next moment, Harry's cry came from the room.
"Holy shit! Peter, you entered without knocking again! Get the hell out!"
"Oh my god! Harry, you're roleplaying with Venom again first thing in the morning!"
Ryan, heading to the third floor, heard their shouts: ...
These two brothers of his were really beyond help. One was too simple-minded, and the other was too perverted...",
