Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 43: The Birth of Dr. Lizard

Hawke and Gwen asked and answered questions.

The tone is natural.

Relaxed look.

As they talked, they walked side by side towards the rest corridor.

Behind……

Mary Jane's mouth was as wide as it could go.

Thick and greasy thanks!
What on earth did I miss this summer?

Peter also felt a little dazed at this moment.

He felt as if he understood something, but at the same time he felt as if he understood nothing.

Harry, on the other hand, looked at Mary Jane and tried to say hello.

Mary Jane was Peter's neighbor. Before he went to England, Mary Jane was sometimes there when he went to see Peter.

So Harry knew Mary Jane too.

Harry thought for a moment, then patted Mary Jane on the shoulder.

"Hey, Mary, long time no see."

"…Hey, Harry."

Mary Jane turned around, glanced at Harry who had appeared, greeted him lightly, and then looked at Peter who was standing beside her: "Peter, do you know about this?"

Harry froze.

Wait, this reaction is wrong.

Is this the right reaction to seeing an old friend?

It's a bit too bland.

Peter was also stunned.

He met Mary Jane's shining gaze and was stunned for a moment.

"what?"

"Gwen and Hawke."

Mary Jane tried her best to suppress the gossip in her tone, resisting the urge to scream, and said to Peter hurriedly: "Aren't you Hawke's only friend in school? You should know when this happened."

Peter was completely stunned.

"When did I become Huo Kewei..."

"Forget it. I'm too lazy to ask you."

Mary Jane looked at Peter who answered so unpleasantly, and her curiosity completely overwhelmed her reason. After saying something directly, she raised her foot and chased after Gwen who had already walked ahead.

She planned to listen to the gossip up close.

But that's it.

Mary Jane suddenly stopped, as if she thought of something, turned her head, and saw Harry, who was also confused and felt that he might become invisible.

next second.

"what!"

After Mary Jane saw it clearly, she screamed, ran to Harry quickly, and hugged Harry, who still looked depressed: "Harry, Harry, when did you come back?"

Harry was happy.

He looked at Mary Jane who had let go of him, and just as he was about to continue the greeting, Mary Jane hugged him again: "I have something to do now, so I won't talk to you anymore. See you later."

Obviously, at this moment, the return of a good friend from England was not as important as Mary's desire to get a glimpse of the gossip between her best friend and the school's most aloof man.

Therefore, after Mary Jane finished speaking, she turned around again, looked at Gwen who was about to walk into the lounge corridor in the distance, and hurriedly trotted to catch up with her.

It was obviously impossible for Mary to chase Hawke and ask for gossip.

and so……

Mary spent the entire morning chasing after Gwen, looking pleading.

There is only one central idea.

"Please, tell me more, just more, in more detail, please, Gwen."

"..."

Because today is the first day of the new semester, the schedule is a little more relaxed and there are not even any classes scheduled for today.

Everyone is busy with their own things, getting their course schedules, or going to their counselors to seek advice for the last semester.

So Gwen was annoyed by Mary for the whole morning.

at last.

As the two of them were heading to the cafeteria, Gwen couldn't help herself when she saw Mary, who was still beside her and looked pitiful and eager to hear more gossip about her and Hawke's relationship.

Gwen sighed.

"No, is it strange that I'm with Hawke?" "Mhm."

"What's so strange about that? He and I have been sitting next to each other in physics class since ninth grade, and we have the same counselor."

"Come on, Gwen, that's Hawke."

"so what?"

"Don't you know what everyone says about Hawke?"

"what?"

This time it was Gwen's turn to be curious.

Mary looked around and lowered her voice: "Everyone says that either Hawke is a pure steel straight man, or Hawke is a crooked one."

Gwen rolled her eyes. "How is that possible?"

She suddenly thought of Hawke standing in the water in just a pair of shorts at the waterfall in Maryland.

crooked?
Hawke is very straight.

As straight as a baton.

wrong.

What am I thinking about.

Gwen shook her head, subconsciously shaking off the image of the baton in her mind, and then said to Mary in a serious tone: "Hawk is not crooked."

Mary was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something and blinked at Gwen.

The smile became a little ambiguous.

"Have you tried it?"

"..."

Gwen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the ambiguous smile on Mary's face and took a deep breath.

next second.

She turned and left without saying a word.

As expected of a dance student.

Sewage.

Too dirty.

Mary looked at Gwen who shook her off without saying a word, and hurriedly chased after her.

"I'm sorry, Gwen. Please forgive me."

"..."

When Hawke arrived at the cafeteria, Mary was still trying to dig information out of Gwen.

But Gwen turned a deaf ear.

Mary saw that Gwen had become immune to her pleas and sighed. Then she saw Harry coming to the restaurant under Peter's guidance. Her eyes lit up instantly and she said to Gwen, "If you don't tell me, I'll go find Peter to find out."

As she spoke, Mary Jane stood up and, without waiting for Gwen's response, ran off to find Peter and Harry with her own plate.

By the time Hawke sat down across from Gwen with his tray, Mary Jane had already left.

"Mary finished eating?"

"Apparently, she couldn't get enough of the gossip from me, so she went to Peter."

Gwen glanced at Mary, who had already pulled Peter to sit down, and shook her head helplessly.

Hawke was a little confused when he heard this: "What does this have to do with Peter?"

Gwen shrugged.

"Maybe it's because you and Peter spent last semester together in the old gymnasium, so this semester everyone thinks Peter is your friend."

"……All right."

After hearing this, Hawke also laughed out loud, but he was too lazy to refute anything. He grabbed the hamburger on his plate and started eating.

Because she arrived at the restaurant early, Gwen had already finished her meal.

Gwen leaned on the dining table with her arms around her shoulders, looking at Hawke who was eating a burger.

"By the way, did you call Dr. Connors to thank him?"

"Yeah, beat it."

Hawke nodded, swallowed his burger, and then thought of something and said to Gwen, "When I called, Dr. Connors said there seemed to be a breakthrough in the experiment. He sounded very happy."

Gwen blinked.

"progress?"

"impossible."

"..."
