"This is going to hurt a bit. You'll have to bear with it."

  Peter opehe first aid kit and took out some iodine.

  Gwen's pale back was exposed to his view, but there was y in it at the moment. A bloody, gruesome wound marred her skin.

  What a shame. Such smooth skin might end up scarred.

  After Gwen leaves, I'll check the system store to see if there's any scar-healing oi.

  Gwen sat with her back to Peter. Under normal circumstances, she would have been blushing and her heart rag, but now she was enduring immense pain.

  "I'm really sorry for troubling you to disihe wound."

  Influenced by her father, Gee, Gwen had always wao tribute to society and maintain order.

  While having dionight, Gee suddenly received a message from the police station.

  A criminal was trolling a Rhino Armor and robbing a bank, causing signifit destru.

  As the issioner of the NYPD, Gee had a duty to maintaiy's safety and immediately rushed to the se.

  Worried about her father's safety, Gwen ged into her suit aly followed.

  Then, iably, she ended up fighting the Rhino.

  But she had only retly gained her powers.

  Her bat skills and reflexes were still immature.

  The wound on her back was caused by the Rhino's sharp horn.

  If it had been any deeper, this new superhero might have died on the spot.

  As foing to the hospital to treat the wound, Gwen hadn't sidered it.

  The idea of an ambunce arriving with a single phone call only happens in TV shows.

  Although Gee was the poliissioner and could access special hospital services, doing so would definitely expose Gwen's identity.

  She had po treat the wound at home but ended up losing strength and falling onto Peter's windowsill.

  "This is going to sting a bit!"

  Because the wound was so deep, Peter pressed a towel against Gwen's lower bad poured a small bottle of iodine over it.

  "Hiss~"

  Gwen gritted her teeth, enduring the pain.

  Ohe alcohol's effect subsided, Peter quickly bandaged her up with gauze.

  "Uh…"

  "Sorry about this!"

  "Huh?"

  Befwen could react, Peter's warm hands reached into her suit.

  Layer by yer, he ed the gauze around her body.

  Gwen could feel Peter's hands moving bad forth beh her chest as he secured the bandage.

  This made Gwen, behind her mask, extremely embarrassed.

  This was so humiliating!!!!

  Exposing her back to Peter was already the maximum level of intimacy she could handle!!

  Although Gwen had joined a band at school with Mary Jane and was always tryihings, that didn't mean she en-minded.

  Especially since her father was quite servative.

  Now, her pale face was flushed red, and even her ears were burning.

  Thankfully, it eter. If it had been someone else…

  No, it wouldn't have been someone else.

  If it were a stranger, she wouldn't have climbed in at all.

  "Doctors don't discriminate. Don't overthink it."

  Peter's casual remark eased the awkward atmosphere a little.

  "All done."

  Peter tied off the gauze and instructed,

  "Remember to ge the bandage every day. It's best to it with a bandage and apply some medial powder. If it's inve for you, you always e to me."

  I won't e to you again…

  Gwen silently grumbled to herself.

  She would never allow su embarrassing situation to happen a sed time.

  Gwen stood up and looked at Peter with genuine gratitude.

  "Thank you, Peter."

  "How do you know my name is Peter?"

  Oh no!!!

  Gwen was instantly speechless. She had fotten she was still wearing her mask.

  "You must have seen the signature on my desk."

  After teasing Gweer gave her an out.

  "Right, I saw ynature."

  Gwehed a sigh of relief.

  "Well, I'll be going now."

  Gwen walked toward the window.

  "Wait."

  Peter grabbed Gwen's hand.

  "Spider-Woman, you're the city's hero. I like you."

  Hearing this, Gwen snorted inwardly.

  Is this a fession?

  You've never said that to the blonde girl door without her mask, no! The blonde beauty.

  "What else? Do you want my phone number? Or maybe a date?"

  Peter didn't respond to that.

  Instead, he asked her to wait and pulled out something resembling a metal wristband from a drawer.

  "What's this?"

  "Something I developed specifically for you. I call it the Web Shooter."

  Peter had ied this before even visiting Oscorp.

  For a top-tier sce student, creating small gadgets wasn't a problem.

  inally, he had inte for himself, but it turned out that in this world, Gwen ider-Woman.

  Gwen looked puzzled.

  "What does it do?"

  "As the name suggests, it shoots webs. What kind of spider 't shoot webs?"

  "Wear it, and you'll be able to swing through New York's steel jungle."

  "It's highly flexible, extremely durable, and the webs automatically dissolve after four hours. Very eco-friendly."

  Gwen was at a loss for words.

  This was exactly what she needed right now.

  After all, Gwen wasn't like the inal Spider-Man in the movies, who could naturally shoot webs.

  Although Gwen was smart, she was no match for Peter. She could never have ied this on her own.

  Under normal circumstahe Web Shooter would have been developed by the inal for her.

  But with Peter here, Gwen had skipped several years of trial and error.

  Peter took out another Web Shooter and a box of web cartridges from the drawer.

  "Take them all. They should st you a while."

  Gwen was deeply moved. She had been trying to maintain her Spider-ersona, but now she couldn't hold baymore.

  She hugged Peter tightly.

  "Thank you, Peter," she whispered in his ear.

  Then, she pulled down part of her mask, revealing her lips, and kissed Peter on the cheek.
