Ch: 188 [A chat with Gwen’s dad]

After breakfast, Felicia decided to go with MJ to her new shooting set. Venom was kinda excited too. So, yeah, MJ will be safe with them. Michelle, May, and Maddie went to the spa, they have a busy schedule today. As for Wanda, she pulled Cyborg Gwen into the little theatre room and decided to binge-watch Lord of the Rings and Hobbits with her. I could tell that she was trying to ease her mind. Well, it felt good to see everything going smoothly for once.

I dropped Gwen to her house. Luckily, she called her dad last night and told him that she was going to stay at my house and not to get worried about her. It was a surprise truth be told that he allowed her to sleep over at my place. It saved us the trouble of explaining that kidnapping situation. However upon parking before her house, I noticed her dad was fiddling with a lawn mower. He was trying to start it up but to no avail.

He looked back hearing the sound of the car.

Gwen and I got out of the car as her dad approached us.

"Morning, Mr. Stacy." I greeted.

"Peter! Gwen! Good morning!" George greeted us back with a smile.

"Dad, you took a break from work?" Gwen asked curiously.

"Yep! Gwen, I'm taking a leave for the rest of the week," He explained. "You were right, I've been overworking too much lately. So, I decided to take some days off to relax and take things slow."

"That's really good. But also weird, you never listen to anyone," Gwen remarked. "Why are you suddenly listening to me?"

"C'mon, Gwen. Didn't he just say that he needs a break? Don't pester him with questions," I nudged her playfully.

"Right, sorry, Dad," Gwen apologized.

"No, I'm the one who should apologize. I always make you worry about me. Sorry, Gwen." George hugged his daughter.

"It's fine, Dad. I'm happy that you're taking care of yourself." Gwen hugged her father back.

After that, he turned to me, "So, Peter. How are you doing?"

"Good, actually. It took a while to adjust after a year of coma, but I'm better now," I answered.

"I'm glad to hear that," George said as he glanced at Gwen. "Gwen, why don't you give us a moment?"

"Alright," She gave me a nod before walking towards her home.

George then turned back to me and said, "You think you can lend me a hand?" He pointed at the lawnmower. "The engine is acting up lately and I can't get it running."

He turned on the switch, the engine started without any issue.

"Thanks."

"Well, I guess I'll get going now. Got a few places to visit today. See you later, Gwen. George, it was nice chatting with you." I bid them goodbye.

"Take care of yourself, Peter," George waved at me as I drove off.

.

Phew! That went well. I didn't expect that talk with Gwen's dad to go that well. It felt refreshing though.

It's time to check out the penthouse. I've no idea how much those cyborg fuckers destroyed it.

.

Upon arriving, I noticed the big hole in the building. Fuck! It's in ruins!

"Dang! There goes my beautiful penthouse. I'm gonna miss it. Well, no point crying over spilled milk. I might as well build a new one... Better one this time!" I got out of the car and added some magic restraints around the place. I don't want whatever is left of it to fall down and create another mess. I'll take care of it later.

After that, I decided to visit the Mutant Academy. I wonder how Rogue and the others are doing after the cyborg attack. It's been a while since I met her. Humm... If things at the academy are alright then I might as well take her out for a drive. Our very first date. Wait! I have to reveal my identity to her if we were to start a relationship and I can't just drive my car there. Sigh! Maintaining dual identity is so freaking hard nowadays.

Anyway, I decided to park the car at my house then suit up and web-swing my way there. Portals are fun, but I prefer swinging from webs.

.

I landed on the ground before the entrance of the academy. Just as I thought, the place looked fine. There were no signs of destruction anywhere. Guess the cyborgs didn't even make it here thanks to Wanda, Jean, and other OP mutants.

However, I still don't know what Miles wanted with Rogue. Maybe Cyborg Gwen might tell me if I ask her nicely...
