problem occurs.

Something big is happening in New York City again.

Well-informed media professionals rushed back to their newspaper offices from home almost immediately, and as soon as daylight broke, the new headlines had already appeared.

The New York Times: "Military raid on civilian cemetery on Christmas Eve triggers massacre; Calvin Cemetery becomes slaughterhouse!"

Wall Street Journal: "Another disaster for General Ross: Could the tragedy at Calvin Cemetery be a result of a Hulk-hunting error?"

Global Observer: "Seventy-seven people died tragically, a helicopter exploded into a fireball, and countless tombstones shattered. What on earth did the federal military do?"

What happened at Calvin Cemetery could not be concealed.

This is not.

When countless New Yorkers woke up and saw the headlines in the newspapers, especially those who buried their deceased relatives in Calvin Cemetery, they felt as if the sky had fallen.

They rushed to Calvin Cemetery as quickly as possible.

but……

Calvin Cemetery has now been blocked by the military support that has arrived.

Faced with countless New Yorkers shouting that their loved ones were inside and they wanted to go in, the guarding soldiers remained unmoved. After receiving the order, they loaded their guns and stared at the cordon. If anyone dared to cross the cordon, they would shoot without hesitation.

joke.

If I can’t beat the monster last night, can’t I bully you ordinary people?
The close relationship between the military and the people?
This thing does not exist in the Federation. Even if a disaster occurs in various parts of the Federation, the military will appear not to provide disaster relief, but to suppress it.

The crowd was extremely angry and immediately held up banners, facing the soldiers across the cordon and protesting.

The mayor of New York is also in a state of panic at the moment.

After seeing this news, Manhattan taxpayers recalled the losses caused to them by the military's last unauthorized action. Those who had connections called the Pentagon directly, while those who had no connections but some money called the mayor of New York.

Just one sentence.

Can you do it? If not, get out. They will replace you with a capable mayor.

At this moment, the mayor of New York was cursing the military in his heart for the thousand eight hundredth time.

In the past, the military acted recklessly.

But no one could have imagined that the military would be so reckless this time.

Turning the cemetery into a battlefield, countless tombstones were turned into powder, and even more tombstones were smashed to pieces?

Good guy.

Are you going there to carry out a mission, or are you going to dance on someone's grave?

The grim-faced New York mayor immediately held a press conference. Without any ambiguity or hints, he directly pointed out that the Pentagon must give an explanation and account for the incident.

The Pentagon said it couldn't hear anything and didn't give any response at all.

Washington is quiet.

Quantico is also very quiet.

At least……

That's the surface.

But Gwen, who was on vacation with her family in Long Island, couldn't calm down after seeing the message.

Calvin Cemetery?
last night?

Hawke.

Gwen quickly took out her phone and called Hawke.

The phone is turned off.

Gwen's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, on the TV in her bedroom, the beautiful host was reporting what happened at Calvin Cemetery last night.

no way.

News is time-sensitive. If you don't report it, other TV stations will, and by then the ratings will belong to others.

So for the sake of ratings and advertising revenue, the TV station ignored the various calls from Washington trying to persuade them to play dead, fearing that they would be one step behind, and rushed to broadcast the exclusive photos and news materials brought back by their own powerful reporters.

When the beautiful host on TV showed a photo of Spider-Man taken at Calvin Cemetery that she had just received for $500, a name suddenly popped up in Gwen's mind.

Peter Parker!

Gwen's eyes lit up, she picked up her phone again, found Peter's number, and called him directly.

This time the phone was not turned off and was connected quickly.

"Gwen."

"Peter, was that Hawk last night?"

Gwen got straight to the point: "Did you see where Hawke went?"

Peter on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then scratched his head. "I just learned about the Calvin Cemetery incident from the news. Hawke was at..."

Gwen felt pain in her upper trigeminal nerve.

"Peter!"

"Uh……"

Peter opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment: "Hawk is fine. The battle was over when I arrived."

After subconsciously answering Gwen's question, Peter couldn't help but ask, "Did Hawke tell you my identity?"

Gwen heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Hawke was safe. Then, listening to Peter's confusion on the phone, she said in a dark tone, "I'm not stupid. You've changed so much, and you've become friends with Hawke. It's not hard to guess that you're Spider-Man."

Peter listened to Gwen's explanation and nodded subconsciously.

"Where is Hawke now? I can't get through on the phone."

"do not know."

"Peter!"

"I really do not know."

Peter quickly explained, "Hawk was walking too fast. He just asked me if I was going to stop him. I didn't have any such intentions, so I got out of the way, and then he disappeared."

As Peter was speaking, he asked curiously, "By the way, Gwen, I thought Hawke went on vacation to Long Island with you. Why was he at the Calvin Cemetery last night?"

Gwen heard this, thought about it, and pursed her lips.

"Hawke had a sister named Anya. She died in an accident in 2009 and was buried in Calvin Cemetery. Every Christmas, Hawke would go there to spend time with his sister."

"She's really my sister."

Peter gasped. Gwen raised an eyebrow.

"what happened?"

"Before he left, Hawke asked me what I would do if someone vandalized Uncle Ben's tombstone."

"Anya's tombstone was destroyed?"

Gwen's heart skipped a beat, and her tone couldn't help but rise a little.

Peter said quickly, "No, I think the tombstone is in good condition and hasn't been damaged. It's just..."

Gwen's heart skipped a beat again when she heard Peter's hesitant voice.

"Just what?"

"Uh……"

Peter recalled what he saw behind the tombstone when Hawke was leaving: "A nearby cemetery was blown over, and accidentally affected Anya's grave."

It's over.

After hearing Peter's answer, Gwen had only this one thought in her mind.

No one understands better than her how much Hawke's sister means to Hawke.

If Anya had not been resurrected, even if she had married Hawke, Hawke would probably have chosen to spend Christmas with his sister Anya.

It's no exaggeration.

And right now...

Gwen sounded somewhat incredulous when she came back to her senses.

"Anya's gravesite exploded?"

"What, no no no."

"Peter!"

"It didn't explode. It was just the earth behind it that was impacted, and some of it splashed out. I don't see any coffins or anything like that exposed."

"..."

The burial mound exploded?

What's the difference between this and a tomb explosion?
Gwen's mouth twitched.

at this time.

Helen's voice rang out from outside.

"Gwen!"

"coming."

Gwen came back to her senses and responded loudly. Then she said to Peter on the other end of the phone, "Remember to contact me if you have any news about Hawke." Then she hung up the phone in a hurry. After calming down, she opened the door and walked out. As she walked down the stairs of the holiday villa, she asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

The words have not yet fallen.

Gwen just walked down the stairs and saw an acquaintance.

Ok.

very familiar.

Natasha, who was knocked unconscious by her with a stick that day, was now standing at the door and talking to her mother Helen with a smile.

Seeing this, Gwen's heart skipped a beat again.

Helen looked at Gwen who was coming down the stairs and said with a smile: "Natasha said you lent her the car and she came here to return it."

Natasha smiled and looked at Gwen who was walking towards her, greeting her with a smile.

"Good morning, Gwen."

"……Good morning."

Gwen was silent for a moment, responded, said a few words to her mother, and then followed Natasha, who had come to return the car, out of the house.

into the eye.

The yellow Corolla, which had been repaired and looked brand new, was parked quietly at the door.

"Go up and check it out. I didn't damage your car."

"..."

Gwen listened to Natasha's words without saying anything. She opened the driver's door of the car and got in.

Natasha also got into the passenger seat and closed the door.

Gwen took a deep breath and looked at Natasha.

"Are you here to kill me?"

"what?"

Natasha was stunned at first, then smiled and shook her head: "No, no, no, how is this possible? You didn't kill me at that time, how could I kill you?"

Gwen looked at Natasha, "But you sent someone to kill Hawke."

Natasha shook her head again. "We weren't responsible for last night's attack. In fact, if what happened last night hadn't happened, I wouldn't be here to meet you now."

What happened at Calvin Cemetery last night caught the entire city of New York off guard.

But S.H.I.E.L.D. was also caught off guard.

Maria Hill never imagined that she was still collecting information and thinking about how to make the first peaceful contact.

Unexpectedly, the military did not abide by the moral code of war and ended up in trouble.

Good guy.

You did a pre-war assessment, and this is what happened?
This is not.

When Maria Hill learned about this, she had no time to think about why the military was so reckless, and she was even too lazy to think about why the military knew about Hawke. She immediately contacted Natasha, who had just returned from Tennessee yesterday and had not had time to rest, and asked her to drive the yellow Corolla repaired by New York SHIELD to find the only relevant person they could find.

That is Gwen.

Natasha looked at Gwen with a serious expression: "Gwen, we need to know Hawke's location now. If this matter gets out of hand, it will be difficult to resolve."
