Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 308 The First Real Encounter with Wanda (First Update!)

In the long river of time.

Hawke was immersed in it, sitting cross-legged, seemingly sitting in one place, but the waters of time were washing over his body like flowing water.

It made him look as if he were going against the flow of time.

But Hawke did not move.

It is time that is moving!

Within his microcosm, the Mind Stone shone with a radiant, eerie yellow light, its glow mirroring the fiery red light of the Reality Stone.

The Time Stone hovered at the level of Hawke's brow.

As Hawke immersed himself in the flow of time within the Time Stone, a golden ray of light burst forth the moment the eerie yellow light of the Mind Stone and the fiery red light of the Reality Stone came into contact.

As the first ray of golden light appeared in the microcosm.

His inner universe seemed to vibrate.

Because of this golden light!

It's neither gold nor yellow.

But -

The golden light of the Gold Saints.

Throughout the long river of time, Hawke continues to shrink and close his own timeline.

At this moment, Jean, Wanda, and Pietro have been transferred to the Hydra base deep underwater.

Qin is now two years and three months old.

Wanda and Pietro went out, leaving two-year-old Jyn alone at home.

As Hawke appeared, Qin, who was sitting on the fireplace mat, lit up and ran to greet him, shouting, "Daddy!"

Hawke hugged the piano that had rushed into his arms.

"Daddy."

"Ah."

"Why can't Mommy and Uncle see you? I told them you come to see me every month, but they all think I'm lying to them."

"Because it's not time yet."

"When will that be?"

"wait until……"

Hawke, holding his violin, sat on the sofa that was laid out exactly like the one at 521A Palm Street: "Whenever Daddy stops coming to see you, as long as you think of Daddy, Phoenix will take you to Daddy's place."

Upon hearing this, Jean, who was clinging to Hawke's neck, blinked her big eyes.

"really?"

"of course."

When was that?

"very soon."

"Ok."

Qin, seeing that she couldn't get a specific time, wasn't discouraged. She sat down in Hawke's lap, and Hawke then opened his right hand, instantly revealing the children's book that was in Qin's room upstairs. As usual, he read the fairy tale to Qin.

Hawke read quietly.

Qin listened quietly.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

In fact, the flow of time is still the same, but when the torrent of time reaches Hawke, it automatically splits, as if avoiding Hawke and the lyre in his arms.

To outsiders, at most ten minutes had passed.

But in Qin's perception, it seemed like a whole morning had passed.

This is why Wanda never believed him whenever Jyn told him about it after he came over.

Hawke also had no intention of showing up to meet Wanda.

He came here to complete the loop of his timeline, thereby shrinking it to achieve a unified past, present, and future.

Only in this way, and only in this way, can he control his own time.

The most important thing.

He didn't know what to say when he saw Wanda.

Whether in the past or in the present.

Actually, Gwen was right about one of the things she said to Sharon back then.

From a certain perspective, he did indeed go into seclusion after returning from the Atlantic and bringing Gwen home because he didn't know how to handle the situation.

Hawke's thinking at the time was very simple.

He didn't know what to say right now. Simply put, he went into seclusion and let Hawke handle this matter in the future.

at the moment……

Hawke desperately wanted to travel through the river of time and give his past self, who had rushed home and gone into seclusion, a good scolding, so that he could resolve the issues before going into seclusion and not leave the mess for him to clean up.

pity.

The past cannot be changed.

As for the future?

The future is uncertain!
soon.

When Wanda and Pietro returned home, Jean, who had been sleeping soundly in Hawke's arms, suddenly brightened up and ran to Wanda and Pietro again to tell them that her dad had come to keep her company again.

But as before, the two did not believe it.

However, this time is different from before.

Pietro listened to his niece Qin's words and picked her up with a smile: "Then you should tell your daddy to show up quickly and take us out, okay? Otherwise, you'll have to get another sister or brother."

Upon hearing this, Jean, still in Pietro's arms, subconsciously turned her head to look at Hawke, who was getting up from the sofa.

Hawke smiled and made a shushing gesture towards the piano.

Wanda and Pietro followed Jyn's gaze to the sofa.

But the sofa was empty.

soon.

Jean returned to her room, and Pietro and Wanda's smiles vanished instantly upon seeing her go back inside.

Wanda's crimson chaos magic surged between her hands, obscuring the entire room.

Just as the crimson chaos magic swept over Hawke, who was standing quietly to the side, Wanda's heart stirred, but she did not show it.

Pietro's face darkened: "Damn it, Citrick, he's treating you like a breeding machine."

Wanda glanced at the spot where her magic was slightly blocked and comforted Pietro, "We don't have the right to refuse. Besides, he promised to help us deal with Tony Stark, didn't he? We can't defeat Tony Stark on our own. He has a god friend."

Pietro couldn't help but rub his head, then looked over to comfort his sister. "Why are you the only one pregnant?"

“Cestrike didn’t say that Jyn’s father was of such a powerful level that ordinary women could not bear him children.”

"I strongly suspect that this guy is in cahoots with Cestric."

"..."

I?
Stryker.

A group?
Hawke, who was standing quietly listening to the conversation between the two, subconsciously looked at Pietro, wondering how the somewhat unkempt Pietro had come to such an absurd answer.

Wanda shook her head.

"He is not."

"Ok?"

Pietro glanced at Wanda instinctively: "Are you so sure?"

Wanda thought of the woman who appeared in Sokovia and tried to take her daughter away. As she spoke, she looked at Pietro: "That woman must have known him. I could tell that she just wanted to take Qin away and didn't have any intention of hurting her. I could tell that the woman wasn't lying. Once he found out about Qin's existence, he would be furious."

Pietro frowned.

"But Qin is already two years old, and he still hasn't noticed?"

"It should have been discovered by now."

"Ok?"

"Otherwise, Strucker wouldn't have hurriedly taken us away from the castle in the middle of the night. I felt that he was coming, so Strucker moved us and hid in this deep-sea base that I don't know where."

"……Too."

Pietro listened to Wanda's analysis, nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Wanda.

“Sitrick must be very afraid of him. He’s been here just as long as we’ve been here, as if he’s afraid to go out.”

"This means he's looking for Sitor, and he'll find him as soon as Sitor shows his face."

"hiss!"

Pietro gasped, somewhat puzzled: "If Cestric is so afraid of him, why does he still want you to get pregnant?"

Wanda glanced subconsciously at the room with the piano on the second floor, her gaze deep and unsettling: "He probably thinks a piano isn't enough to blackmail him, so he's planning to increase the stakes."

Pietro swore.

But just as Wanda said, they neither had the ability nor the right to refuse Sitchrek.

Putting aside the nanobots inside him and Wanda, they couldn't resist them even for Jean's sake.

Upon hearing this, Hawke turned and left.

Just as he left this timeline, Wanda glanced in the direction Hawk had gone.

Pietro noticed Wanda's gaze, which was also fixed on the direction Hawk had left.

"what happened?"

"nothing."

Wanda snapped out of her daze, looked away, and shook her head.

In the following months.

As Hawke stayed with Jean and continued to shrink his timeline, Wanda's belly grew bigger and bigger.

He witnessed the birth of Billy and Tommy once again.

Late at night.

Hawke appeared silently in the master bedroom, stood next to the crib, and looked at Billy and Tommy sitting side by side in the crib.

It's different from being able to sense him right after birth.

Billy and Tommy seemed unaware of his arrival.

after all……

He had made a divine vow beforehand that only his and Gwen's bloodline descendants were qualified and only qualified to inherit his power.

Hawke looked at Billy and Tommy in the crib, reached out his right hand and stroked the two little ones' foreheads, then turned to leave this timeline.

at this time.

Wanda's voice rang out just as he was about to turn around.

“They are your children, you should give them names.”

"..."

Hawke paused, then turned to look.

into the eye.

Wanda sat on the bed, crimson chaotic magic swirling in her eyes.

The crimson chaos magic, which could alter reality without the Reality Stone, helped her break through the boundaries of reality and see Hawke.

Eyes facing each other.

Hawke frowned slightly.

His first meeting with Wanda should have been after he destroyed the underwater base, not now.

what's going on?
The timeline is messed up?

Hawke's heart moved.

next second.

He recalled the look in Wanda's eyes when he met her at the underwater base, a look that didn't flinch at him.

and also……

Wanda's eyes back then looked just like they do now.

Crimson chaotic magic swirled in his eyes, as if trying to see through him.

and many more.

Hawke raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Wanda sitting on the bed.

When did you see me?

"Last month, when I was in labor, you helped me comfort Qin."

"But you and Pietro..."

“I didn’t tell Pietro, though I don’t know why, but you don’t seem to be here.”

"……All right."

Hawke's thoughts raced, he shook his head and chuckled, then looked at Wanda.

……
