SpiderGwen: I have a system?!-Chapter 167: The Ghost Spider

[3rd POV]

While Gwen was on Mars assimilating her new power, the world as a whole were still reeling from the invasion, from the appearance of the X-Men at the scene, saving thousands of lives within minutes of being there. But more than anything, they were talking about the lack of response by the Government, and the Avengers, who had only arrived AFTER the invasion had ended.

____________________________

Earlier in the day At BBC, the man and woman who were previously debating on the X-Men and their appearance, were now being far more...quiet. The man couldn't say anything against the X-Men, after watching videos of them saving people, helping repair some of the more important buildings (in the case of Jean who can do such a thing) and just overall being what they should be seen as...heroes.

"It looks like the supposed untrustworthy mutants have just saved the entirety of New York with their actions, while the Avengers, the ones that were supposed to keep us safe, had only appeared 5 minutes after the battle had ended" The woman said, amusement in her eyes as the man's jaw clenched in annoyance, understanding that she was right, the Avengers hadn't appeared, and were now officially being called into question all around the world.

Although it was mostly because of the World Council that had ordered them not to go, and had even tried to stop them from arriving in New York, they had still taken far longer than they reasonably should have, and that was pissing a lot of people off. There were calls for dismantling the team, calls for lawsuits, and all sorts of reactions that people were having.

"And as I said before, the mutants are only doing this for the positive attention they will receive" The man said with a scoff, still not believing they did this out of the kindness of their hearts.

"So? They still saved people's lives, thousands of people. While the Avengers were nowhere to be seen, only showing up 5 minutes later. If they had been there sooner, maybe the invasion would have ended sooner, and thousands more lives would have been saved. The death count has already been estimated to be over 5,000, with experts believing it to be closer to 10,000. The greatest attack on U.S soil since 9/11" The woman replied with an eye roll.

"Of course it matters! You don't want to get saved by someone you don't trust! Who knows what kinds of outlandish demands they'll make now that they have saved those people!" The man exclaimed, as the woman stared at him.

"If you were there, about to die by one of those aliens, would you care at that moment? Would you care that someone who supposedly has intentions to demand compensation from the Government, saved your life? I don't think so, if anything, they deserve it! They deserve a damned metal at least!" The woman replied, scoffing at the man's evident ignorance.

"And what of that woman? Everyone has seen the video, watched as she effortlessly dispatched two large aliens that destroyed parts of Avengers tower with a single blow, and even the madman that had done all of this" The man added.

The video in question was a short video that had shown Gwen defeating Corvus, Proxima, and Loki, but not what came after, meaning no one knew what happened to Proxima and Corvus, only that they disappeared after Gwen defeated them, and it was the same for the scepter that Loki wielded.

SHIELD would likely cause a fuss over that one.

"She's a hero for defeating the psychopath that had caused that invasion in the first place. Plain and simple. Now, let's move onto something equally as important, which is the economic effects of this invasion" The woman began.

On Twitter, the reactions were about the same as you'd expect.

LadyMan0421 - Damn, they actually did it, they saved New York! All the while the Avengers sat back and didn't do shit. What's the point of having a team like that when they won't even show up when you need them? #MutantRights #DispandAvengers #X-MenRock

MornonicDonkey1989 - So the new girl saved New York, pretty badass really. Beat the snot out of a bunch of alien invaders and looked good doing it. Anyone got a name for her yet? I'd call her Mommy if I could. #Crushmeplz #PegMe #SitonMe #Mommy?

Rapidcow1230 - Okay Mornonic needs some serious help, and lessons on vocab, because "Mornonic" really? It's Moronic you idiot. And yeah, I think she deserves a name! I was thinking...Ghost Spider. With her being all mysterious, I think it fits. #GhostSpider #SaviourofNewYork #MutantRights

MutantHater02 - The mutants are just doing this for attention obviously! They couldn't give a damn about us, they just want the attention that comes with it! The Avengers are the true heroes, not them! #X-Menscum #MutantTrash #Avengers4Ever

MutantLover004 (Replying to MutantHater02) - At least the Mutants helped and saved lives, without them, who knows how many more people would have died. And yeah, I think Ghost Spider is a perfect name for the one who saved New York! She should get a medal of honor for this! #SaviourofNewYork #GhostSpider #MutantRights #X-Menrock

__________________________

With the new name of "Ghost Spider" being spread, the entire world soon knew of Gwen's hero name, with calls for either giving her some sort of medal for her actions, or for those that were racist or certain politicians, called for arresting a "Psychotic Vigilante that caused more harm than good", those ones were largely ignored.

SHIELD at the moment, was the primary ones having a rather important meeting. With Nick Fury, Natasha Romanoff, Hill, Phil Coulson, and Clint Barton all sitting around a table.

"Any ideas who the hell this girl is?" Clint asked, as they watched the video of the Ghost Spider destroying the three in battle, playing with them like they were jokes.

"From her general build, from height, physique, and movements, all signs point to this being the girl at Charles Xavier's school, the mystery one" Hill said with a sigh, knowing that this was going to be hard to get any proper information on, with the girl herself being largely a mystery.

"Any information on who the hell she is?"

"A bit. Her name is Gwendolyn Stacy, born into a simple family with a father that worked in the police force. He died protecting her from a gang related to Wilson Fisk. Mom died giving birth to her. After her father died, she bounced around foster homes before mysteriously disappearing one day a few years ago. No one has seen or heard from her since...until now" Hill said, showing an old picture of Gwen from her life in this world.

"...Continue looking, I want everything on her, down to the tiniest detail" Fury said, before Hill nodded as the screen flickered to another video.

"As for the other cause for this meeting...the Shadow is causing chaos in governments around the world. Finding, gathering, and stealing every corpse, piece of technology, and fragments from the invasion. Everyone is trying to track them down, but none are getting close"

"Great a bunch of pissed off politicians mad that they couldn't get their hands on weapons of mass destruction from aliens, great" Clint said with a scoff, as Natasha rolled her eyes.

"What's new? That is just how this works, Clint. We all know this. They were willing to bomb the city just to save their own asses, even with the potential political fallout that would bring" Natasha replied, not surprised at all.

"Not only do we have this "Ghost Spider" causing problems, but we've also got the damn Shadows? Motherfuckers have good timing, that's for sure. And what of the team?"

"They're pissed sir, and for good reason. Thor has already threatened several agents for their attempts at stalling them before the city was bombed. Tony is threatening lawsuits and bringing it public. Rogers is questioning everything regarding the government, and Banner wants nothing more than to leave" Hill said, as Nick massaged her forehead.

"Only Captain Danvers is quiet about it, as she seems to understand the decision, even if it was incredibly stupid. She's trying her best to reassure them that it was the best decision, but they aren't buying it" Hill added, as Nick felt a headache coming on.

"What of Loki?" Natasha asked.

"Unconscious, whatever Ghost Spider did to the man, he won't be waking up anytime soon. And Thor is watching him too closely, so we can't extract any blood from the man"

"Anything more you want to add, Hill?" Fury asked, veins bulging in growing anger.

"Um...yes sir. The uh...the scepter disappeared. It...appears that Ghost Spider had taken it after knocking out Loki" Hill said somewhat timidly, knowing the reaction this was about to get, as Fury slammed his fist against the table, and yelled only one word to describe his feelings regarding Ghost Spider.

"Motherfucker!"

On Mars, Gwen sneezed as her assimilation of power finished.

"Huh, seems the old Pirate isn't pleased~" Gwen said with an amused laugh, as she looked down at her body, and felt the new power of the cultivators within her. Feeling this new power, and the new "Ability" it had given her, she whispered, dropping into a meditative decision.

"...Time to cultivate!"
