Peter didn't know yet that someone was planning to give him a benefit.
The three of them didn't stay at Primus for long before returning.
The school was attacked again. Although they had been rescued, they should at least show their faces and go to the police station to make a statement.
At that time, Police Chief George Stacy personally came to take the record. When he saw Peter, he couldn't help but look displeased, his eyes seeming to say: Kid, why is it you again?
As for what happened, Ben and the others had already coordinated their stories, leaving no room for error.
After leaving the police station, Ben told Peter to prepare some gifts for Jameson. Although that old guy was usually sharp-tongued and at odds with Spider-Man, he was actually a good person.
Just for not betraying Peter this time, he deserved a thank you.
Peter naturally agreed.
However, before that, they planned to visit Flash.
The walls of two classrooms were smashed by Kraven. Although the impact wasn't significant, the students in the class were frightened, and it was unrealistic to immediately send them back to class.
Thus, the school was on holiday again.
However, this time it was estimated to be only a few days.
In the hospital, Flash had not yet woken up.
As a superpowered being, even though Kraven didn't intentionally try to kill Flash, an ordinary person, a casual blow was enough to leave Flash severely injured.
At this moment, he was undergoing emergency treatment in the ICU.
His parents waited anxiously outside, helpless.
"The situation isn't very optimistic."
The doctor walked out of the operating room, exhausted. They had been working on Flash for several hours, but they could only barely maintain his vital signs.
"Although the patient's condition has stabilized, his head injury is severe, and he may become a vegetative state in the future."
Hearing this news, Flash's parents felt their hearts shatter.
Flash's mother tightly grabbed the doctor's arm, her eyes teary, and pleaded:
"Doctor, please, save my son!"
"I'm very sorry, I've done my best," the doctor sighed, then said, "If you could get the Self-Healing Serum from Osborn Pharmaceuticals, it might be able to cure him... but the price,"
He opened his mouth but ultimately couldn't utter the despair-inducing price.
In reality, although the Self-Healing Serum was priced very high, it was effective and fast. One dose would cure the illness, and it wouldn't impose a heavy burden on ordinary people.
The only problem was that due to the current low production volume, most of the orders were taken by the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. There was very little serum on the market, and the occasional ones that appeared were naturally sold at sky-high prices.
After all, obtaining the serum was equivalent to obtaining a second life, and those wealthy individuals and politicians who constantly worried about being assassinated were all watching.
In different versions, Flash's background also varied. Some Flash were rich second-generation heirs, while the Flash before them was just a child from an ordinary family.
They weren't lacking the money to buy the serum; they simply couldn't get it!
Flash's mother's face immediately turned ashen, and she collapsed on the ground as if her bones had been removed.
"Perhaps in a few years... it will be more common."
The doctor could only offer words of comfort.
But in a few years, Flash would have to stay in the hospital room, relying on expensive equipment to maintain his life. Not to mention the cost, the best years of his life would be wasted.
Seeing this, Ben stepped forward without hesitation and said:
"Primus will be responsible for curing Flash."
Flash himself wasn't a bad person at heart, and he was, to some extent, a friend to Ben.
Although in many universes, Flash was a school bully who enjoyed bullying, in this universe, having been educated by Ben since childhood, Flash didn't often bully other students.
Not to mention that this time he was injured by Kraven while saving Peter. For all intents and purposes, Ben couldn't just stand by and watch him become a vegetative state.
Moreover, brain damage was actually very serious. The structure of the brain was much more complex than that of limbs, and the Self-Healing Serum alone might not be enough to cure him.
But regardless, Primus's medical standards were definitely much better than ordinary hospitals.
Whether he could be cured or not would depend on the analysis and the results. If that didn't work, they would have to consider the Symbiote.
Just in time, Venom Agent could be activated.
The Galactic Plumbers could gain another member.
"Eunice, monitor the Life Foundation's network and satellites. Contact me immediately if there's any situation."
"Yes, sir."
After handling Flash's discharge from the hospital, Ben took Flash and his parents back to Primus.
He explained to them that the Self-Healing Serum might not immediately improve Flash's condition, while also promising to cure him as soon as possible.
The current Primus Tower was hundreds of stories high, and not every floor was completely off-limits to visitors.
After calming their emotions, Ben found Connors. Under Eunice's scan, the two of them had a general analysis of Flash's physical condition.
"The Self-Healing Serum can cure him."
Connors gave an affirmative answer.
"However, such a crude repair of his injuries will cause problems with his memory."
Connors pointed a finger at his own brain.
This was not unexpected by Ben.
After all, when Connors' right hand grew back, it took him some time to adapt before he could use it freely. In fact, even now, Connors still trusted his left hand more when conducting experiments.
If his arm was like that, his brain would be even more so.
"It seems we still need a symbiote."
"A symbiote, what's that?" Connors asked curiously.
Symbiotic relationships were not uncommon in biology, but the word Ben spoke sounded more like a proper noun for a specific species.
"An alien creature."
Ben said.
Connors already knew enough secrets, so Ben didn't mind revealing more.
"They are essentially shapeless and can possess other creatures."
"Sounds like a parasite."
Connors frowned.
"The difference is that their hosts also gain benefits, such as healing near-fatal injuries and granting immense strength..."
Actually, the symbiosis of symbiotes had always been a benevolent relationship. It was just that when they first appeared in movies, they played negative roles.
Especially the Venom lineage, where every descendant was a villain, further deepened the impression of symbiotes being evil.
But in reality, according to the intelligence Ben had gathered on Sakaar, most symbiotes were actually good people.
According to Brunnhilde, symbiotes lived on Klyntar in the Andromeda Galaxy, so they were often called Klyntar.
They possessed intelligence and liked to help others; he had never heard of any of them liking to eat people's heads.
While saying this, Brunnhilde was puzzled why Ben had the impression that symbiotes liked to eat heads.
Ben could only say it was because of a certain dark fellow, who had ruined the reputation of symbiotes.
Not just Venom, but even in Venom's solo movie, the other symbiotes also appeared as villains.
"I didn't expect such creatures to exist," Connors exclaimed in wonder, then said, "In that case, we can heal him first. As for his memory, we can slowly repair it later."
After all, amnesia was a minor issue; waking Flash up was more important.
Meanwhile, Peter went to visit Jameson with gifts.
Jameson was also in the hospital, but his condition was much better than Flash's.
Jameson had already woken up, and Robbie and Betty were looking after him in the VIP ward.
As soon as he entered, Peter heard Jameson loudly scolding Robbie:
"You two spendthrifts!"
"Why did you send me to a VIP room! Don't you know the charges here are so high they're like cracking my bones and sucking out my marrow!"
He had a bandage on his head, his face was flushed red. Seeing Peter walk in, he was stunned for a moment, and his tone softened slightly.
"Peter?"
Robbie and Betty also looked up quickly.
"Are you alright?" Jameson asked in a tone Peter had never heard before, like a gentle old grandfather caring for his grandson.
"I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Jameson," Peter said, placing the flowers and gifts he brought on the table.
He seemed a little shy and was slightly flustered by Jameson's sudden change in attitude.
"Since you're alright..." Fortunately, Jameson looked Peter up and down, confirmed that Peter was indeed fine, and immediately reverted to his old self, launching an attack:
"Then where are my photos?!
"You're not doing your job at all! You didn't capture the scene of Spider-Man brutally killing criminals to show the world the true face of this pest!!"
Peter was berated by him from head to toe.
"But Spider-Man saved me..."
"Shut up!"
Jameson almost jumped out of bed, poking Peter's forehead with his finger.
"He didn't save you, he harmed you!"
"He not only harmed you, but he also harmed me!"
"He got my newspaper attacked! He got me injured! He forced me to stay in this expensive room that costs thousands of dollars a day but is useless, letting those devils in white clothes suck my blood!"
Jameson cursed from beginning to end. After scolding Spider-Man, he then berated the New York police for being useless. Finally, he jumped out of bed, kicked Peter's butt, and kicked him out of the hospital, telling him to go home.
In reality, Jameson was worried that Peter's family didn't know he had been rescued yet.
But in reality, until now, Uncle Ben and Aunt May still didn't know that Peter and Ben had been kidnapped.
The moment they were taken, Harry immediately sealed the news.
Only a very few people knew that Kraven's target was actually Peter.
Afterward, they were quickly rescued, and the announcement, in order to protect the two students, naturally wouldn't publicize Ben and Peter's real names.
So, when Peter got home, Uncle Ben and Aunt May weren't there.
Without the pressure of daily life, Uncle Ben wasn't in a hurry to find a job. He and Aunt May participated in community service together, preparing to be volunteers and using their remaining energy to help others.
On this matter, both kids expressed their support.
Peter thought the idea of helping others was great. Even though Uncle Ben wasn't Spider Old Hero, he was still a hero.
As for Ben, as long as the two of them were happy, that was enough.
However, even though Uncle Ben and Aunt May weren't home, another visitor arrived outside the small house in Queens.
"Uh, who are you?"
Steve Rogers stood by the door. Seeing Peter approach, he flashed a sunny smile.
"Hello, Peter Parker."
