72. New World, New Atmosphere.
"Welcome back! How was your outing?" Alex immediately greeted them, judging by the satisfied smiles on their faces, it seemed like they had a great time.
As soon as Pietro entered, he threw himself onto the couch and started talking while taking off his wig.
"It was amazing! Alex, you missed out big time by not coming with us. We found this awesome restaurant, and then we went to an amusement park with lots of interesting stuff. Oh, and do you remember that Spider-Man we saw before? We saw him fighting a rhino guy on the street!"
Listening to Pietro's excited recounting, Alex just nodded with a smile, taking the bag from Kara's hands and opening it. Inside, there were all sorts of miscellaneous items.
"What did you guys buy?" Seeing the assortment of items, Alex couldn't help but shake his head in amusement.
Pietro quickly divided the bag into several parts. "Oh, we bought a bunch of clothes. Since the weather is getting colder, and we haven't gotten new clothes for a while, I'm okay, but Kara doesn't have many clothes. She hasn't even worn underwear before."
"Cough cough, you bought underwear for Kara?" Alex nearly choked on his tea, realizing after all this time that Pietro, the careless boy, actually had such a thoughtful side.
Even Alex himself hadn't considered Kara's need for underwear, or rather, he hadn't thought about it at all. Who would care about a teenage girl picking out underwear? Given Kara's combat prowess, Alex subconsciously ignored the fact that she was still a fifteen-year-old girl at heart.
Looking at him, Pietro didn't seem embarrassed at all. "Yeah, anyway, we also need to buy a few more sets of clothes to change into. Our styles weren't available at Old Bruce's place, and we didn't have time to buy before. Now we finally got the chance."
"Not bad, you're quite considerate." Alex nodded in agreement. With Pietro's words, he also suddenly realized that his own clothes hadn't been washed for a long time, emitting a strange smell.
"Of course, by the way, do you think this outfit I picked for Kara looks good? It's the latest style. The people at the clothing store said I have a great eye for fashion and that I'm really good at matching!" Pietro pointed at Kara, showing off.
"Peter Parker, the Spider-Man you mentioned, is indeed very powerful. His strength, speed, and reflexes are top-notch, and he appears to be at ease in combat, even using language to distract and mislead his opponents," Kara added.
To this, Alex just chuckled. "Actually, most superheroes don't talk as much during fights as he does. He's just a chatterbox, not as deep as you think. But one thing you said is right, Spider-Man's combat prowess is indeed top-notch."
"Wait a minute, how do you know Spider-Man's name is Peter Parker?" Pietro suddenly realized something and exclaimed.
"I saw it," Kara said innocently, pointing to her eyes. "I can clearly see his hidden identity under the battle suit and his press card in his pocket, which indeed has the name Peter Parker."
"Peter Parker... why does that name sound so familiar?" Pietro muttered, rubbing his chin as he tried to recall where he had heard the name before.
Thinking for a moment, Alex gently reminded Pietro, "The house we used to live in, that was his house."
"The house we used to live in," Pietro suddenly remembered something and slapped the table. "I remember now, he's Peter Parker, the one who was bitten by a radioactive spider in a chemical experiment, got a terminal illness, and his family was destroyed!"
Alex glanced at Kara, who seemed lost in thought, and then nodded with a smile.
"Yes, but in this world, that spider didn't bring him illness. Instead, it turned him into the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man for the people of New York."
