744: Chapter 744 Coulson visits, Peter invites, Uncle Ben and Aunt May arrive.

There was clearly no malice, but why... Natasha recalled how gentle Clarissa had been from the moment they met until now.

Yet, she could feel an inexplicable sense of terror and pressure.

This had nothing to do with anything else; it was as if a 'gaze' from a higher dimension and a higher level of life was looking down, as if a lower-level life form was meeting a higher-level existence.

Like a Mortal meeting a god...

"A formidable character has arrived..." Natasha couldn't help but rub her temples. However, during such times of headache, she would let the Director deal with it; she would just report it.

Soon, Clarissa's information was placed in front of the Nick Fury.

Although most of it consisted of Clarissa's self-account and Natasha's personal impressions, combined with some speculative intelligence based on other information.

"Clarissa... an outsider... freely traveling between two worlds and dimensions..." Nick Fury, that one-eyed Nick Fury, frowned as he looked at the file Natasha had submitted.

"This is an unstable factor! We must know her true intentions! Tourism? Impossible! Keep anyone who can freely travel between two worlds under surveillance! Also, start with this guy named Peter Parker!

From the looks of it, he's the one who brought her back! He even provided her with a place to stay... and that gold...

But Natasha, you did the right thing. Leave a contact method first. Go handle the identity she wants and deliver it to her. If possible, dig deeper into her specific abilities and strength!

She definitely has more than just the ability to travel between two worlds," Nick Fury said to Natasha.

"Yes," Natasha nodded.

"Also, Agent Coulson can take over the follow-up work with her."

"Understood!" Agent Coulson replied from the side.

"Mutants... werewolves... vampires... and now this outsider who travels between worlds... it seems that plan must be accelerated!" Nick Fury crossed his hands in front of him, still maintaining that profound-looking posture.

The Avengers Alliance!!

In his heart, he envisioned establishing a global emergency strike team capable of dealing with 'cross-dimensional / supernatural / alien-level' threats that a single hero or conventional army could not resist, with the ultimate goal of defending Earth's front line and protecting human civilization.

Of course, there was another thing: it must be under his control!

Whether the Nick Fury was top-tier in other areas was unknown, but his desire for control was definitely top-tier.

The next day, Clarissa heard a knock at the door.

Opening the door, she saw a man in a suit with a gentle smile on his face, possessing a great deal of charisma.

With one look, Clarissa knew who he was: S.H.I.E.L.D.'s famous 'nice guy,' Agent Coulson.

"Hello, Clarissa. I'm Agent Coulson, an agent of the Homeland... a colleague of Natasha's. I'm here to deliver your phone and identification," Agent Coulson said to Clarissa with a smile.

He then pulled out a bag containing Clarissa's identification and a mobile phone.

"Thank you for your hard work," Clarissa nodded and took the bag.

"My number and Natasha's are saved in the phone. If you have any needs, feel free to call us. Um... currently, I've been assigned to handle your case, so if anything comes up, just try to call me," Agent Coulson said to Clarissa.

"Okay, I understand," Clarissa nodded in response.

"Then I won't disturb you further," Agent Coulson nodded with a smile and then left directly without staying longer.

This was called having a sense of propriety.

Peter had made an appointment with Clarissa today, intending to bring her home for a meal together with Gwen.

Clarissa naturally accepted the invitation with pleasure.

Peter gave her the address. Clarissa thought for a moment, bought some gifts nearby, and then went to the door.

"Coming, coming!" Peter's voice came from inside, and then the door opened.

"Hey! Clarissa, you're here! Quick, come in!" Peter said happily to Clarissa.

Clarissa walked in and saw Gwen and Peter's Uncle Ben. Logically, in Peter's situation, Uncle Ben should have already passed away, but he was still here and doing well.

"Hello, hello!" Uncle Ben stood up quickly when he saw Clarissa enter.

"First time meeting you, a small gift," Clarissa placed the gifts in her hand on the table.

"It's enough that you came; you shouldn't have spent so much!" Uncle Ben said embarrassedly.

"Clarissa is here? I've heard Peter mention you many times!" Aunt May was working in the kitchen and took a moment to turn around and speak to Clarissa.

"Sit, sit, sit down quickly. I don't know if the food I made will suit your taste," Aunt May greeted everyone to take their seats while bringing the prepared dishes to the table.

Roast chicken, steak, stew, mashed potatoes, vegetable salad, and a thick soup.

Mhm, very Western home cooking.

However, Clarissa was not picky, even though she had already undergone the baptism of a large amount of Chinese food.

She didn't care deeply about the pleasures of the palate, as long as it wasn't unpleasant to eat.

Besides, although these were simple, the taste was quite good.

Eating them occasionally was actually quite delicious.

"I heard from Peter that you've helped him a lot. As his aunt, I'd like to express my gratitude to you here!" Aunt May said to Clarissa.

"Of course, and you too, dear," Aunt May said, turning her head to look at Gwen, who was sitting next to Peter.

This sentence made Gwen's face turn slightly red as she repeatedly said it was nothing.

The meal was enjoyed by both hosts and guests.

Clarissa had a smile on her face as she looked at the still-living Uncle Ben and this kind, gentle Aunt May. After some thought, her gaze sharpened, and she left two marks on both of them.

If nothing else, at least tragedy would not strike again.

As for Spider-Man's 'curse,' in Clarissa's view, it all stemmed from insufficient strength and inadequate protection of his family.

But it didn't matter; the marks she left would be enough to solve this problem.

Unless Uncle Ben and Aunt May went looking for death, like personally going into battle against the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit, as long as they stayed low, Clarissa could keep them safe.

As for why she did this? There was no reason; she just felt like it.

At her level, everything followed her heart; she did what she wanted to do. There weren't that many 'whys.'

Moreover, it was just a casual gesture.

After the meal.

"Next is your young people's activity; we two old folks won't participate," Aunt May said to Clarissa, Peter, and Gwen.

"Peter, you must take good care of the two ladies and show your gentlemanly manner," Aunt May said to Peter.

"Okay, I will!" Peter nodded quickly and said.

Then Uncle Ben waved and pulled Peter into the room, saying to him, "I still have some money here. Take it; don't let yourself be embarrassed because of some money issues."

As he spoke, Uncle Ben handed Peter a few hundred dollars in cash.

"No, no, no, Uncle Ben, I still have some, don't worry!" Peter quickly refused.

"Take it!" Uncle Ben firmly stuffed the money into Peter's hand.

Peter couldn't decline, so he could only accept it, but he planned to return it to Uncle Ben in a couple of days.

After all, he was a 'wealthy man' now!

He had money! Of the hundred thousand dollars Clarissa gave him, he still had over ninety-nine thousand!
