Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 479 Hawke Rediscovers His Original Aspirations (Second Update!!)
"I am invincible!"

"Alright, you're invincible. Here, take your medicine."

"I don't need... Achoo!"

Hawke, who was about to refuse the medicine Wanda offered to his lips, sneezed again. He then instinctively wrapped the blanket around himself tighter and moved closer to the burning fireplace.

Yes.

He caught a cold.

"This unscientific!"

Hawke found it hard to understand: "In the past, when it snowed, I would stand naked in the snow and never catch a cold."

Wanda, holding the medicine in one hand and a glass of water in the other, rolled her eyes at Hawke's words: "That's scientific. Don't forget, you said you wanted to be a normal person. If a normal person stands naked in the snow, not only will they get sick, but others will also think they're crazy."

Hawke was silent.

Wanda shrugged: "How about I give your invincible body back to you?"

Hawke snapped out of his daze, though his head still felt a little foggy, and shook his head.

"Do not."

"Then take the medicine."

Hawke is not in his complete form yet, but Wanda is. With a single move of chaos magic, she altered reality and turned Hawke's invincible and powerful body back into that of an ordinary person.

Of course, this was done with Hawke's consent and active cooperation.

Hawke's reason for doing so is quite simple.

He has moved too fast along the way, so fast that his foundation is not stable at all. However, since his foundation is not stable, he might as well walk the same path he came from.

Hawke is now retracing his steps.

At that moment, after receiving Wanda's water glass and medicine, Hawke had only one thought in his mind.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

really.

Our ancestors were right.

It had been almost two years since he returned from Cairo, Egypt, but he had the illusion that twenty years had passed.

After swallowing his cold medicine, Hawke took a deep breath, took off the blanket, and walked toward the sandbag hanging under the sycamore tree in the backyard.

Wanda frowned slightly.

"You have a cold, why are you still calling?"

"Yes."

Hawke's forehead was sweating, and his voice was a little muffled, but his gaze was firm as he strode toward the sandbag: "I could last for 10,000 days before, and I can last for 10,000 days now."

Hawke, who was just an ordinary person before, had a fever before, but because of his desire to save Anya, he sweated profusely and punched 10,000 times as if he had been pulled out of a bathtub, and then passed out on the spot.

and so--

He could do it before, so there's no reason why he can't now.

He needs to rediscover his lost original aspirations!
soon.

Bang!
Hawke punched the sandbag hanging under the sycamore tree.

One punch, one punch, another punch.

Wanda also came out of the living room and stood under the eaves, looking up at the sky.

into the eye.

Above the clear blue sky, there seemed to be the faint silhouette of a phoenix, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Wanda recalled the scene when Hawk asked her to turn him into a normal person and he boxed for the first time after they settled here.

There were no unusual phenomena at the time, not even in the first few months, or even in the past year.

Until the beginning of this year, with each punch Hawke threw, Wanda could vaguely sense Hawke's inner universe, waiting to descend from outside this universe, responding to him.

obviously.

While Hawke was regaining his Dao heart, he was also accelerating the activation of his own microcosm.

Perhaps they won't need ten years here; at this rate, they might be able to return from here in less than a year.

As Wanda pondered this, she turned her gaze away from the sky and looked at the open door behind her.

Jean, wearing a dark red trench coat, walked in from outside and met Wanda's gaze: "Mom, here's the cold medicine you wanted, but why do you need it?"

Wanda chuckled.

"Your dad has a cold."

"what?"

Qin, who had placed her car keys on the shoe cabinet by the door, was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. She walked to the backyard porch and looked at Hawke, whose face was unusually flushed and who was intently practicing boxing not far away. She paused for a moment and said, "Dad has a cold, and he's shirtless."

Wanda chuckled and said, "He said he would get up from where he fell down."

Upon hearing this, Qin looked at Hawke practicing his boxing under the snow-covered tree, opened her mouth, but remained silent.

Wanda raised an eyebrow, as if she had thought of something, and looked at Jean: "By the way, while we're still in this universe, go ahead and play whatever you want when you grow up. After all, once we leave this universe, you'll be a child again."

Qin was slightly taken aback.

"what?"

"This universe is too low-level. Precisely because of this, its time flow is different from other universes and from our own universe. Therefore, higher-level laws can descend upon lower-level universes, but the laws of lower-level universes cannot be brought up."

"I know."

Qin shook her head and said, "What I mean is, didn't we say before that we would be staying here for about ten years?"

Jean knew that once they left this universe, she would revert to being a six-year-old girl.

Wanda had told her about it when she returned from Cairo. Qin didn't mind; in fact, she felt a little relieved.

after all……

Although she has grown up, she lacked the company of her father Hawk and mother Wanda during her childhood, so she is not opposed to the idea that leaving this universe would allow her to return to her former self.

The most important thing.

She also experienced the joy of growing up.

Let's say that.

She doesn't want to grow up.

But it cannot be denied that there are still some merits after growing up, although Qin was referring to about ten years at the time.

What's the result now?

Wanda looked up, meeting Qin's gaze, and once again looked up at the vast sky.

into the eye.

In the depths of this universe, in one corner of the cosmos, a red dot has been stained by the flames of the phoenix.

It seems that right now, outside this universe, a fire phoenix is ​​trying every possible way to get into it.

“Once your father’s power arrives, we can go back.”

"The power of a father..."

Qin followed Wanda's gaze and looked up, recalling childhood memories: "Is it that beautiful fire phoenix?"

Wanda nodded.

"Yes."

"How much time do we have left?"

"I don't know, your father's power has already reached the edge of this universe, once he breaks through..."

Wanda guessed, then looked away from Qin and said, "So cherish your time here as an adult, because once you go back, you'll be a little girl again."

Qin smiled slightly: "Mom, I like it when I was a little girl, especially the time I spent in Xijing Town."

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance and then smiled at each other.

However, Jean didn't stay there for long. After delivering the medicine and talking with Wanda for a while, she left and returned to Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters.

In Jean's words, she's an adult now, and all her friends are at Xavier's School of the Arts, and she's about to leave. She wants to spend more time with her friends here.

of course.

This is just polite talk.

The real reason was that Qin wanted her parents to spend more time together.

and so--

The zither has arrived.

Qin left again.

When Jean returned to Xavier's School of the Rising Sun, she happened to see her adoptive uncle, Quicksilver Pietro, visiting Storm again.

After leaving Cairo, Egypt, Angel and Storm, who had nowhere to go, had heard of Professor X and followed him back to Xavier's School of the Xaviers. They learned their mutant abilities under Professor X's tutelage and also served as mutant teachers at Xavier's School of the Xaviers, taking care of the mutants who had nowhere else to go even while living there.

Quicksilver Pietro does have a home to go to, but ever since he came to Cairo, Egypt, he keeps coming to Xavier's School of the Arts.

In a word.

Quicksilver's true intentions are obvious to everyone.

"If you really want to date Storm, I suggest you change your look."

Jean watched as Storm rudely shook off Quicksilver Pietro, and after the latter had gone some distance, she offered a sincere suggestion to Quicksilver Pietro, who was smiling at her: "After all, your current look doesn't really look like that of a mature person."

Quicksilver Pietro looked a little sullen.

"How can you talk to your uncle like that?"

“…Okay, Uncle.”

Qin was taken aback at first, then shook her head and smiled helplessly: "Grow up, you won't get a date with Storm like this."

Quicksilver Pietro waved his hand: "It's impossible for me to change my style of dress. If I did, wouldn't all the money I spent on clothes before be wasted?"

Jean was taken aback again upon hearing this, then looked seriously at Quicksilver Pietro: "Okay, you are indeed my uncle. You share the same stingy personality."

In her memory, her mature uncle Quicksilver was very stingy.

Candy is sold by the piece.

Qin remembered complaining to her mother Wanda, who told her that buying by the piece was already a good deal. Back in the day, when she wanted something sweet, her uncle Quicksilver would dip it in white sugar and give it to her mother Wanda.

Once again, Sokovia was a chaotic little country, and it was already difficult for Quicksilver to survive with Wanda, let alone buy candy.

Although theoretically, once they arrived in Westview Town, they could have emptied the town's candy stores without any problems, Quicksilver retained his frugal nature.

This……

well.

Anyway, after hearing Wanda's story, Jean said that she wanted to be a thrifty person like her uncle. Quicksilver was so happy that he took her back to the candy store and bought her some candy.

As Jean recalled Quicksilver from this universe, the stingy Quicksilver in front of her seemed to overlap with her uncle from her memories.

Hippie Quicksilver's face darkened. He waved to Jean and turned away, disappearing from her sight the instant he turned.

Jean looked in the direction where Quicksilver had disappeared, smiled, and said nothing more. She went up the stairs to the second floor and pushed open the conference room door.

into the eye.

Professor X, Beast, Cyclops, Storm, and Angel are all already seated.
