Chapter 177: SlothBaby
"I love coffee," he said while eating a Canadian breakfast and drinking delicious coffee.
Because of the serums in his body, he only needed a minimal amount of sleep, unlike the girls and his children.
Almost all of the children did not need to sleep much either. Susan had something similar, as did Yuri due to the soldier serum.
Cortana, being half android and half human, and Caesar similar to Yuri, as were Selina and Itsy, also needed sleep.
Because of this, it was just the early risers having breakfast. May and Missy were still sleeping in the room.
When the girls and his children saw him, they just sighed because they knew him and knew that he could not stay in bed for long without going crazy from inactivity.
Slap.
He slightly lifted his gaze from the tablet he was reading and saw a folded newspaper in front of him.
When he looked up completely, he saw Cortana staring blankly, with a slight nervous tic in one of her eyebrows. She unfolded the newspaper, and when he read it, he almost spat out his coffee but controlled himself.
"Reward or Payment for the Masked Hero?"
He read the headline of the Daily Planet newspaper and on the front page saw a picture of himself where Kamala had kissed him unexpectedly.
Now he knew why his spider-sense had activated. He looked down at one of the corners of the photo and read the photographer’s name, which made his eyes roll back: PHOTO BY EDWARD BROCK.
Eddy, you son of a bitch. Even without the symbiote you give me trouble.
"Do I need to clean one of the rooms for a new member, darling?" Cortana asked.
"No. It was just a gesture of gratitude and because I was tired I could not help it."
She sighed.
"I hope that’s it and not you wanting to have a collection of every kind of woman that exists."
She watched him nod and noticed a brief mental image cross his face that he did not entirely dislike.
"I would say that if I did not care, but this," she said, pointing at the photograph, "will bite your backside in the future. Along with this, if you meet the girl again."
She took his tablet and pressed some things before giving it back to him.
When he picked up the tablet and saw where Cortana had gone, it gave him a feeling of nostalgia.
Wattpad.
He checked the author’s name: SlothBaby.
When he read the stories about himself and a girl with strange powers, he found that she had named him Ragno, which is spider in Italian.
There were not many details since he had never revealed his identity, so nobody knew anything about him except that he was a man and that he was in good shape.
He still remembered a comment on social media that had made him laugh, someone calling him "The Butt of New York."

Time skip to few minutes...
"Holy hell, it is a ton of content," he said after reading to Chapter five where the story became extremely explicit. He shook his head at the amount of detail, which was alarmingly specific.
"What are we going to do about this?" Cortana asked.
"What we will do is..... nothing," he said, still impressed with the volume of it and even more surprised by the comments praising the work and the number of likes the story had.
"What?"
"She is a teenager. Her hormones are raging, and it does not help that I wear a skintight suit that shows off every one of my muscles."
Cortana sighed and shook her head.
"I will go clean one of the rooms. I have a feeling this girl will be with us sooner or later. From what I have read and researched, she was already quite detailed," she said before leaving.
He shook his head and picked up his things to take them to the laundry room.
When he went down to the cave, he took the suit and started repairing and updating it, replenishing the amount of web fluid he had used and creating new variations.
When he got to the computer, he typed a few things and put on some music.
Cortana with the drink in one hand and the tablet in the other, she approached to deliver the news. She did not know if it would be bad or good because she never fully knew the motives or reasons for everything her boyfriend did.
"Peter," she called.
He stopped, turned around, and saw Cortana holding a Vesper Martini in one hand and the tablet in the other..
"Thank you, beautiful."
He took the glass, leaned against the table, closed his eyes, enjoyed the taste of the drink, sighed, and looked her in the eyes.
"So, what is the bad news?"
Instead of answering, she handed him the tablet, where a video was already loaded. He pressed play.
Several words came to mind as he watched: Stupidity. Negligence. Incompetence. Ignorance.
He sighed and rubbed his face after the recording finished.
"Cortana, prepare the Spider-Jet."
She nodded and turned to leave.
"I also want its location."
"Onward, Chief~," she said.
He turned around and looked for a spare suit. While getting dressed, he cursed the idiot under his breath.
Once the lower half was on, he started walking toward the Spider-Jet. Before putting on the mask, he paused and looked at the vehicle.
"What a beautiful machine," he said before getting in, sitting in the pilot’s seat, and starting to power up the jet. He pressed a button, and the doors began to open. Once everything was ready, he put on his mask.
