Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 285 Gwen: "Damn Sitorik" (Third Update!)

The New York Aegis Central Operations Command Center.

After undergoing iris verification, Sharon took the lead and led Hawke to the operations command center, then glanced at the large screen displaying the standby status.

"The Avengers communications are coming in."

"Yes."

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent nodded, and after receiving authorization from the first agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York, established communication with the Avengers, who were currently attacking a Hydra base in the Rub' al Khali Desert, the world's largest shifting sand desert, in the Middle East.

The image on the big screen flashed.

Black Widow Natasha Romanoff's figure instantly appeared on the big screen.

"Sharon".

"Natasha."

After greeting Natasha, who appeared on the screen, Sharon said directly, "Where's Tony? He said he found something that Hawke might be interested in."

"A secret passage was discovered at the bottom of this base, and Tony and Thor gave chase."

On the screen, Natasha first revealed the whereabouts of Iron Man and Thor, then turned the camera around, and immediately, something resembling a hibernation pod appeared on the big screen.

Natasha zoomed in and, through the observation window on the outside of the hibernation pod, saw someone lying inside who appeared to be asleep: "Anna Pierce, Alexander Pierce's adopted daughter, belongs to Hydra. Tony remembers Hawke looking for her."

Sharon was slightly taken aback when she saw Sharon appear at the Hydra base in the Middle East, and then looked at Hawke.

"Shouldn't Anna Pierce be with Sitorik?"

"Sistrek is not here."

Hawkeye Barton's voice also came from the big screen: "Jarvis just checked all the files of this base. This base does indeed belong to Sitrek, but according to the base log, Sitrek has not been here since the Second Hydra Struggle. Jarvis is investigating the base's communication records."

Hawke looked at the water droplets appearing on the observation port outside the hibernation pod on the big screen and stroked his chin.

"Did you cut off the power first, and then launch the attack?"

"Yes."

That's right.

Upon hearing this, Hawke thought to himself.

The Avengers chose to cut off the power first, preventing the news from leaking from the base and also severing Anna's life support, causing Anna, who was hanging on by a thread, to die completely and her soul went to the underworld.

at this time.

Natasha's voice rang out.

"Hawk, why don't you come over and check?"

"Row!"

Hawke snapped out of his reverie and looked at Anna, who was sleeping peacefully in her hibernation pod on the big screen: "Send me the coordinates."

Natasha gave out a coordinate.

Hawke then turned around and vanished from the command center in an instant.

Natasha's voice came again.

"How long will it take you to arrive?"

"He's already in the past."

Sharon chuckled.

Natasha flipped the camera back over, glanced at it, and then seemed to hear something: "No, he's already here. I'll hang up now, Sharon. See you later."

Sharon nodded.

The large screen instantly displayed a signal loss message.

Sharon then turned around and left the command room. When she returned to her office, she saw Gwen sitting alone on the sofa.

The red-haired girl was nowhere to be found in the office.

and also……

The melancholy man that Hawke brought back as a trophy has also disappeared.

Sharon took a deep breath and looked cautiously at Gwen, who was sitting on the sofa, resting her chin on her hand, seemingly deep in thought.

"Gwen?"

"Ah."

Gwen, sitting on the sofa, glanced up at Sharon.

Sharon frowned and said, "That red-haired girl and that melancholy man..."

Gwen lowered her right hand, which had been supporting her chin, and let it hang naturally as she looked at Sharon.

"Her name is Qin, and that man's name is Pietro; he's Qin's uncle."

"..."

Sharon opened her mouth as if to say something, but hesitated and stopped herself.

Gwen knew what Sharon wanted to ask and chuckled.

"Yes, Pietro took the lyre with him."

"why?"

“Pietro said that if he didn’t bring the violin back, Sitch would kill her sister, Billy, and Tommy.”

"Uh……"

Sharon's expression was unreadable.

Gwen looked at Sharon, her expression calm: "Billy and Tommy are Jean's brothers."

Sharon was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening and almost instinctively widened her eyes to look at Gwen.

Eyes facing each other.

Sharon finally realized what was happening and gasped.

"Hiss, there are two more?"

"Yes."

Gwen nodded, then seemed to remember something, shook her head and chuckled, "I was thinking of having a daughter and two sons, but before I could even do anything, Hydra has already given Hawke a daughter and two sons."

Sharon listened to Gwen's words, looked at Gwen, and became cautious once again.

“Gwen, this is not Hawke’s fault.”

"I know."

"Uh……"

Sharon met Gwen's gaze again, and looking into Gwen's eyes, she pursed her lips.

"You...don't blame Hawke?"

Why blame him?

Gwen paused for a moment, then looked at Sharon curiously: "Hawk didn't betray me. He's always been loyal to me. If anyone's to blame, it's Hydra, Sitor, and... myself."

She shrugged as she finished speaking.

Sharon raised an eyebrow.

"Your fault?" "Yes."

Gwen recalled the time she accompanied Hawke to the port of Jersey and sighed, "I was there when Hawke sold his blood, but if I had known what would happen today, I would have stopped him from doing so no matter what."

However, after letting Pietro take the harp away, she also thought about it seriously.

Actually, I can't blame myself for this.

After all, who knew that Hydra and Sitori would play such a wild game?

Good guy.

They couldn't find Hawke's weakness, so they created one for him themselves.

And they manufactured more than one.

There are three in total.

One daughter and two sons.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to condemn Hydra for being inhuman or to praise them as the Virgin Mary.

Gwen gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with the same anger as when she heard in Fallstown that her cousin had been used as a sex slave by vampires—no, an even greater anger.

"Damn Hydra."

"...We will find him."

Seeing this, Sharon quickly said, "Now that Sitor and his plan have been exposed, we are only one step away from finding him. As long as we find a weakness in him, Hawke will be able to find him."

Speaking of it.

Sharon quickly changed the subject, pulled Gwen to her feet, and looked Gwen up and down.

"That melancholy guy didn't hurt you, did he?"

"No."

Gwen shook her head, then seemed to remember something, and returned the 'Vibranium Energy Absorption Collar' and the key that were lying on the sofa to Sharon: "Sorry, I didn't tell you before I let him go."

Sharon took the SHIELD vibranium technology crystal that she had just used to put around Pietro's neck to prevent him from escaping again if he suddenly woke up, smiled and said it was nothing, then looked at Gwen: "The person was originally captured by Hawke."

Gwen smiled, a hint of worry appearing on her face.

“I’m a little worried about Hawke.”

"Hawk?"

Sharon blinked: "Hawk went to find Thor and Tony, he shouldn't be in any danger, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gwen thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's good."

She wasn't actually worried about Hawke's safety.

After all, Hawke has proven one thing through countless battles.

I am invincible, do whatever you want!

Gwen was worried about something else.

When Hawke brought Pietro in, she sensed the intense, almost uncontrollable killing intent emanating from Hawke's heart.

But that murderous aura wasn't directed at Pietro.

At first, Gwen thought Hawke's murderous intent was directed at Sitor.

result……

When Gwen heard Pietro begging her to let him leave with his violin, she learned about Billy and Tommy's existence from him.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Gwen fears that Hawke's more intense killing intent this time also includes Jean, Billy, and Tommy.

Hawke also had this motive.

for her.

but!
Although today's events felt like a dream, she truly knew that Hawke couldn't be blamed for it.

If Hawke betrays her, then without a doubt, she, Gwen Stacy, the sheriff's daughter, will definitely smash Hawke's face in the face the moment she secretly practices her heavy-hitting fist for ten years.

But this really isn't Hawke's fault.

and so……

Gwen thought to herself, glanced at Sharon who was looking at her with concern, then took out her phone and called Hawke.

Sharon watched this scene from the side without saying a word.

She is not a fool.

When Gwen shook her head and said she was fine, she responded, but she knew that Gwen actually had something on her mind.

at this time.

Hawke's call was answered immediately.

Hawke could miss any call from anyone.

But Hawke wouldn't miss a call from Gwen.

With a flick of his left hand, Hawke tossed a wisp of phoenix fire onto Anna's body as she was being pulled from the hibernation pod, while simultaneously gripping his phone in his right.

"Gwen, I'm coming right away..."

“Pietro and Qin are gone.”

"..."

Hawke raised an eyebrow upon hearing those words from the phone.

However, he didn't speak, because he knew that Gwen hadn't finished speaking.

really!

"correct."

"After you left, Qin woke up, and I gave her the Andromeda necklace so she could take it back to Billy and Tommy as a gift from me. You won't blame me, will you?"

Gwen, who was in Sharon's office, looked down at her now empty neck.

Sharon listened to Gwen's phone call and then noticed that the golden fairy-shaped necklace that Gwen used to wear was now gone.

Hawke listened to Gwen's words, his mind racing, and he instantly guessed Gwen's intention, then let out a soft laugh.

"will not."

"Really?"

"It's just a necklace. If you like it, you can give it to me. I'll get you an even better one when we get back."

"you promise!"

"I promise!"

Gwen smiled slightly upon hearing Hawke's reply, then hung up the phone. She looked at Sharon with a pained expression: "Sharon, I'm not safe now. You're not allowed to leave me after Hawke comes back."

Sharon looked at Gwen, who was making a sad face, and nodded with a smile.

"No problem, I'll stay by your side."

"..."
