When I heard her words, I spoke a simple word, "Wow. " Then both of us were silent. Breaking the silence, I spoke, "Do you know who kidnapped him? Maybe they got some random calls or something?" Nat replied, "Some terrorist group. And nope, no ransom calls. By the way, where are you?"
I replied, "In a date with Gwen. " Nat sighed and said, "Alright. After you send her home, return quickly. " I nodded my head, although she couldn't see me nodding and said, "Yeah, I'll be there after the date. " Then I ended the call. Gwen asked me in a worried tone, "What's wrong Bruce?" Shaking my head, I replied, "Nothing important. Just the famous Playboy has been kidnapped in Afghanistan. "
At first Gwen was confused, but then she realised, "Tony Stark is kidnapped. " She sneered and said, "Not that I am surprised. That guy might have probably slept with someone's wife, sister or daughter. And that someone might be the kidnapper of Tony Stark. "
I laughed at this. She looked cute when she did this. Gwen had no idea why I was laughing. But she ignored me laughing and started thinking of other reasons Tony Stark would have been kidnapped for.
Among the many reasons she came up with, Tony sleeping with some family member of the Terrorist group leader was reasonable. The others were weird reasons that she came up with. But where did she know that Tony was kidnapped for other reasons. Obadiah Stan, one of the major share holder of the Stark Industries was the mastermind behind this kidnapping. But where did the others know this..
I really found Obadiah's character a bit weird. That guy could have got what he wanted to, without kidnapping Tony. But that plan of his, was a bit in hurry. He didn't even made sure to have the loyalty of those terrorists whom he had asked to kidnap Tony.
Because of knowing the plot of MCU, I knew that those terrorists were just using Tony to make Jericho missiles. The Jericho missiles were the latest weapons developed by Tony Stark himself. And it was also to demonstrate the Jericho missile to the US Army stationed at Afghanistan for the war.
My date with Gwen continued. I really did like her a lot. Not to say that she was one of my crushes, when I had watched the MCU movies. More specifically, The Amazing Spiderman. And yes, the Gwen Stacy I knew was more like the Emma Stone, just a bit younger and more beautiful than Emma Stone herself.
After that since our date was over, I decided to walk Gwen back to her home. Peter and MJ decided to go by themselves, not that I cared about anything related to MJ. While we were walking towards her home, Gwen said, "You should control your emotions. The way you were ignoring MJ was really terrible. "
I sighed and said, "What could I do? I know she isn't the correct person for Pete. She has been with people who have bullied Pete since our school days. She was with Harry Osborn for his money, she was with Flash, for being the bully's girl. And now she wants to be with Peter. There is no chance that she came to Peter to be her girlfriend or even to be his friend. That's something i would never believe in. I saw it in her eyes when we were in school. She was disgusted by Peter, and now she is attracted?"
Gwen sighed and said, "I know. I hate her just as much as you do. Peter is like a brother to me. Do you think I don't care for him?" I sighed. Gwen slipped her hands into mine and said, "Well, let's forget about them and just focus on walking home, how?" She had a smile on her face. Seeing her smile, I returned a smile subconsciously.Then we continued our walk to her home. I stopped when we were near her house. Even though I like her, I don't want to face her father. This was something that was common for both I and the Bruce from before. I knew that George was overprotective of his daughter, and if he knows that I was on a date with her, he would make sure to make me regret talking with him.
Seeing me stop, Gwen smiled and said, "Still afraid of dad?" I nodded with a smile and replied, "Your dad is a good person. But he is a bit overprotective of you. Although I agree to his way, but being on the other side of that treatment isn't something that I would like anytime soon. " She hugged me all of a sudden. Feeling her soft body on me, I sighed and hugged her back. That's when I said something that a person should never say on his first date. The words I said was, "I Love You. " And my words freaked Gwen out.
But I would never know, since she just kissed me on my cheek and rushed back to her home. I cursed myself, 'You should never say those words to the girl you like on the first date itself. ' I didn't remember much of my life before I was reincarnated here. What I knew were some of the details, like I was a male before and watched many movies. Both Marvel and DC movies were my favourite ones.
With a sigh, I turned around to return back to my house. I would need to talk to Gwen. I was about ninety percent sure that Gwen was probably freaked out from me directly saying her that I love her. Although my feelings for her was true, but I couldn't just say it outrightly to someone. When I returned home, I found Nat sitting on the sofa with two people. One was a guy, who I was more or less familiar with. And the other one was a Chinese woman, I had seen once in the Marvel movies. The man was Hawkeye, one of the future Avengers.
