Did he tell you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Besides being Oscorp's Security Director, I am also an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.,\" Natasha said with a charming smile. \"Miss Stacy, would you like to know more about S.H.I.E.L.D.?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S.H.I.E.L.D.?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. Founded after WWII to fight Hydra. Captain America, Steve Rogers, was our first asset.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain America?\" Gwen's eyes lit up. He was a legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. You saw the news. We found him in the ice. He's alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha steered the conversation skillfully. She knew Steve Rogers was an icon. Compared to Vincent Hall, Gwen Stacy—Ghost Spider—was a pure-hearted neighborhood hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha sighed internally. Environment mattered. Vincent grew up in Hell's Kitchen; Gwen grew up in a stable home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha had investigated the Vatican Incident. Conclusion: The Church struck first, and Vincent retaliated with absolute force. He was a prickly hedgehog—touch him, and you bleed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Frozen for 70 years and still alive? Amazing,\" Gwen marveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Vincent you're an agent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He knows,\" Natasha replied. \"I joined Oscorp because he helped me capture the Lizard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Gwen was shocked. \"He helped you catch Dr. Connors?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? He really keeps you in the dark, doesn't he?\" Natasha felt a perverse satisfaction. Even the \"main girlfriend\" knew nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She decided not to mention she had slept with him. That would be cruel. But letting Gwen know she was being deceived? fair game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ice Demon?\" Gwen whispered, her mood plummeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He lied to me,\" Gwen said fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I knew he wrote that trashy novel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty Shades of Grey?\" Natasha suppressed a smile. She actually liked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He told you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. S.H.I.E.L.D. investigates everyone. We were shocked a teenager wrote... that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Join us, Gwen,\" Natasha urged softly. \"You can help guide him. His power is too great. Only you can restrain the demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen hesitated. \"Let me think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was happy before. Now, knowing Vincent was the Ice Demon... she felt betrayed. And worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New York. That Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent picked up the Stacys from the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed Gwen's mood but said nothing. He could read her mind, but he chose not to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later that night, Gwen climbed through his window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent was watching the news. Magneto had moved the Golden Gate Bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You owe me an explanation,\" Gwen stood in front of the TV, crossing her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's heart skipped a beat. Did she find out about the harem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calm down. Read her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah. Natasha. You little fox. Trying to poach my girlfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What explanation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You never told me you were the Ice Demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I mention the time I saved people and someone kicked me in the face?\" Vincent smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was to save my dad!\" Gwen argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your dad shot at me. Did I fight back? I stood there and took it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen paused. That was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You froze Hell's Kitchen. The Triads. Kingpin's men.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human traffickers. Organ harvesters. Murderers. I froze them so they couldn't hurt anyone else. Are they worth your pity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen faltered. \"But the Vatican? That was... the Vatican!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you believe in God?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not really.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Crusaders tried to behead me. They called me a demon. They attacked first. I just sent them to meet their God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's voice was cold. Gwen shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Carrier Strike Group? If I hadn't been with you that night, the military would have kidnapped you to force me into a trap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They kidnapped Jessica Jones. They strapped a nuke to her. I walked into the trap. I survived. I froze the fleet to send a message: Leave me alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did it to survive. To protect us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen was silent. The scale of his world was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gwen, you are lucky. You can hide. But mutants? Kids are being hunted. Power is a sin if you're not the government.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want you involved because my world is dark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you get angry... will you destroy the world?\" Gwen asked quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would I?\" Vincent laughed. \"Earth is a speck. Odin exists. The Phoenix exists. I'm just trying to survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I get the chance, I'll take you to space. Show you the universe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Promise me one thing,\" Gwen said, sitting next to him. \"Never hurt innocent people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen relaxed. She leaned into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, get your hand off my...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I missed you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. I promised Mom I wouldn't stay over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent wrapped her in a water dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too late. Let me show you a new trick. Hydro-Kinesis: Water Moon Reflection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can powers be used for... that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Power isn't just for killing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen tried to resist, but she melted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spider-Beast Peter and Green Goblin Harry... Tier 2 Genes?\" Fury was livid. \"We are outgunned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oscorp's tech is exceeding ours,\" Hill noted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to stop the Monster Army,\" Fury said. \"Find Connors. Kill him if you have to. He cannot join Hydra.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Natasha is going to Siberia to find her old team—and Connors,\" Hill reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Barton, go get Banner. I'll talk to Stark and Cap. The Avengers must assemble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also... Maria. You applied for Oscorp?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Security Director. Replacing Natasha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get the Super Soldier Serum sample,\" Fury ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hill left. She knew the risks. Beware the Demon's temptation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oscorp Tower. Next Day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent walked in. Everyone looked at him with awe. The real boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magneto captured. \"Cured.\" Imprisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean Grey dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor X vaporized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or so they think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The New Mutant Era has begun,\" Vincent mused. \"Jean is sealed, not dead. Charles transferred his consciousness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven walked in. \"Gwen is back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sandi and Inez reported to Security. Good assets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Natasha resigned,\" Raven added. \"S.H.I.E.L.D. sent a replacement. Maria Hill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hill?\" Vincent grinned. \"Rare guest. What does she want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She wants the Super Soldier Serum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If she wants an injection, fine. If she wants a sample to take away... that's a negotiation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent signed some papers, then left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drove to Westchester County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier's School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood before a tombstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Phoenix Force cannot be destroyed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Get The FULL NOVEL at Once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get 50% OFF for limited time only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>@patreon.com\u002FAuthorizz\u002Fshop\u003C\u002Fp>",1032,"2026-06-06T16:16:52.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","871b9e09e4879e3d0f9e1c7ddc30bf5bf2e9af4dc3dd5de419ec68fb6af2878f","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-94","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-92",116,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-cover.jpg"]
