Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 58: The cheat in exchange for my sister's life

"My dear sister."

"We were found by the priest in front of St. Paul's Community Church in Queens."

"All we had with us at the time was a piece of paper with our dates of birth written on it."

"Hawk and Anya, these two names were given by the priest of the church."

"Anya likes her name very much."

Hawke, leaning against the gravestone of his sister Anya, did not ask Gwen how she found herself there.

This is a stupid question.

Hawke spoke in a very soft voice as he spoke, as if he was afraid of disturbing his sister Anya.

"Anya is very happy."

"She was always happy from childhood to adulthood, even though she had a hole in her heart and had to go to the hospital from time to time, she was still very happy."

Fortunately, he and his sister are orphans, so even if his sister needs to be hospitalized from time to time, he doesn't have to worry about medical expenses.

Because the federal and state governments have backstops.

When Hawke said this, he glanced at Gwen, who was also imitating his behavior, sitting on the ground with her back leaning against her sister Anya's tombstone. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Later, I sometimes wondered if it was because we became orphans and could enjoy free treatment that Anya and I were abandoned."

Gwen couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth when she heard Hawke's words, and then shook her head.

"When we found you, there was no birth information?"

"No."

Hawke shook his head. "The church staff approached hospitals in New York City, but none of them could meet our needs. Later, a doctor suggested that Anya and I might not have been born in a hospital, but at home."

Giving birth at home without going to a hospital is not uncommon in this country.

This is especially true in families with strong religious beliefs. Some are even more extreme and will not give birth in a hospital even if a difficult birth results in two deaths.

"But it doesn't matter."

"I never thought about finding them. Since they chose to abandon me, let's not bother each other."

"Anyway, there's no problem with Anya and I's nationality."

When Hawke said this, he shrugged and continued.

"Actually, at the beginning, someone wanted to adopt us."

"But because Anya had a perforated heart, most families gave up on her."

"Father Moses was a good man and he didn't want to separate me from my sister, so my sister and I stayed in the church until we were four years old. Father Moses was our guardian at the time."

"But then Father Moses passed away, and Anya and I went to the children's home."

"Then Anya and I grew up there."

The so-called children's home is a family-like living facility where more than a dozen orphans live and are taken care of by staff from non-profit organizations.

Gwen frowned when she heard this.

"Has there never been an adoptive family?"

“Who would be willing to do that?”

Hawke chuckled and looked at Gwen. "Once Anya leaves the system, she'll have to bear the medical expenses herself. I'm not willing to give up on my sister. A foster family doesn't require me to worry about medical expenses, but the environment in a foster family... haha."

There is a fundamental difference between adoption and foster care.

Realistically speaking, most adoptive families do so out of kindness, while most foster families, though not all, do so out of a desire for federal and state government subsidies for orphans.

These foster families earn subsidies from the federal and state governments by fostering orphans, and use the money that was originally intended for orphans by the federal and state governments on their own daily expenses.

As for orphans?

I wish I didn’t die.

Gwen had heard about some foster family cases from George, so when she heard Hawke's disdain for foster families, she nodded in agreement. "And then..."

When Gwen asked this, she glanced at the time on Anya's tombstone.

1995.5.20-2009.9.10.

Gwen withdrew her gaze, glanced at the surrounding tombstones, and then looked at Hawke: "I remember that most of the people buried here are those who died in the battle between Hulk and Abomination in New York City..."

A hint of coldness flashed in Hawke's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He looked at Gwen and nodded.

"Correct."

"Anya didn't die of illness. She died in the aftermath of the war that night."

really.

After hearing Hawke's personal confirmation, Gwen secretly said in her heart, and at the same time she figured out one thing.

"So you've been working so hard all these years, just to..."

"revenge!"

Hawke turned his head to look at Gwen. After squeezing out these words from between his teeth, the flames of revenge surged from the depths of his eyes: "I must repay a favor and I must avenge a grudge!"

He was an orphan in his previous life, and although he was also an orphan in this life, he had a sister who had been with him since childhood. So even though the world suddenly changed, even though this was still the Marvel Universe, and he didn't have a system at the time, he didn't feel too confused.

Hawke has always been content.

So he never thought about causing any trouble in the Marvel Universe. His dream has always been to be content with what he has.

There is no system without a system. It’s impossible that he will not survive without a system.

Hawke has always studied hard, and even when he was in public school, he maintained his academic advantage, which attracted the attention of the admissions teacher of Midtown High School. He was given a scholarship and allowed to move from a public school that focused on happy education to a private education school.

His idea was simple: study hard, find a good job, and earn money to treat his sister's illness.

So on September 10, 2009, his first weekend at Midtown High School, he took his sister to Times Square and took a photo, recording what Hawke believed at the time would become a turning point in the lives of the two siblings that they would later remember.

result……

It was indeed a turning point.

It's just such a fucking twist.

That day, when Hawke was about to leave on the bus after shopping with his sister Anya, an accident occurred.

The Abomination shows up, and then the Hulk shows up.

The two monsters instantly fought each other.

When Hawke watched the movie before, he thought the fighting scenes between the two were very exciting, but only when he was in the movie could he discover what was hidden behind the excitement.

scream.

Screams and wails, in the fight between these two monsters, ordinary people have no ability to resist the risk at all.

Hawke was among them, pulling his sister Anya along with the crowd and trying to escape.

result……

Hulk throws Abomination onto the building, which collapses and falls from the sky towards them.

That night!
Hawke lost his sister.

that moment!
Hawke's plug-in is online.

Envy?
In exchange for my sister's life.

The hatred for killing my sister is irreconcilable.

This revenge!

Hawke will definitely take revenge!!
