Marvel: Awakening the Universe

Hawke looked at Gwen's call, answered it directly, and put it to his ear.

"Hey……"

"..."

The young Xiao Hei was defeated.

He looked through the rearview mirror and saw Hawke, who ignored his "equality device" and answered the phone without any hesitation or even pretending, and his defense was completely broken.

next second.

Xiao Hei suddenly braked, braked suddenly, then swung his body on the seat and leaned back.

"Fuck, I'm..."

"Boom!"

"what!"

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Gwen, who was about to speak, suddenly blinked when she heard a scream that seemed to come from Hawke.

"Is someone screaming, Hawke?"

"…Yeah, there was a guy passing by who was showing a movie just now. Probably some violent action movie."

"I guess so. The scream sounded exactly like the scream of someone's ribs being broken."

"Uh……"

Hawke bent down, one hand covering the mouth of Blackie, who was leaning against the console, while looking at the spot where he had hit Blackie's ribs. "Can you tell where the man was injured from the scream?"

Gwen laughed from the other end of the line.

"Of course, my dad is the sheriff. Let me tell you something, the new police officers may not be as professional as me."

"...I can see it."

Hawke was speechless.

What else can he say? He can only say that a top student is a top student. He learns things faster and better than others.

at this time.

Gwen's laugh was bright and hearty this time.

"I was just teasing you, how is that possible?"

"...Okay, I'm serious."

"By the way, why is your phone turned off? I called you several times but couldn't get through."

"what happened?"

Hawke kept bending over, covering Xiao Hei's mouth with one hand to prevent him from screaming, and holding the phone with the other hand to talk to Gwen.

"Go downstairs."

"what?"

"Dr. Connors knows you were fired and that you're the one taking the blame. He felt bad and prepared a gift for you, but you couldn't get through on the phone, so I came over anyway. Aren't you home?"

Gwen, who had already driven her yellow Corolla to the downstairs of Hawke's new apartment building, pressed an envelope on the passenger seat with her hand while looking through the window at Hawke's new apartment building.

After hearing that Gwen had arrived downstairs of his apartment, Hawke was silent for a second or two, then he reacted.

"Yes, I'm not home. How about you take it back and give it to me when school starts?"

"I've already gotten off."

Gwen closed the car door and walked towards Hawke's new apartment building while saying, "You are on the top floor of the apartment building close to the road, right? Your windows are open. I will go in through the escape stairs and take it straight home for you."

Hawke was stunned.

It's not surprising that Gwen knew where his home was. After all, she was there when he was filling out the application form and might have seen it.

but……

"How did you know?"

"I saw your shorts hanging by the window."

"Uh……"

"You've been wearing those pants for three years, and if I remember correctly, they weren't shorts before. I think you changed them into shorts in tenth grade."

"Okay, that's it. I'll just drop you off at home and I'll be back soon."

"..."

Hawke fell silent again as he listened to the dead tone coming from the other end of the phone.

next moment.

His mind was racing.

Hawke wasn't worried about Gwen going to his apartment, but he was quickly thinking about whether there was anything in his apartment that was inappropriate for children or should not be seen by Gwen.

Not suitable for children?

No.

Forget about the video, he doesn't even have a poster, let alone a magazine or anything.

The answer is that he is poor.

He was too reluctant to even buy a phone card, let alone those expensive and time-consuming magazines.

In the past few years, when he was full of energy, he usually chose to go to the rooftop and punch the air, and then go back to sleep when he was tired.

As for things that shouldn't be seen by Gwen?

It seems not.

He wrapped the five Chitauri alien weapons tightly in the sheets and stuffed them under the bed in his bedroom.

Gwen shouldn't find out.

and so……

Forget it, let her be.

Business matters.

Think about it.

Hawke regained his composure and put away his phone. The gentleness in his eyes that he had just shown when talking to Gwen disappeared completely, replaced by an extremely cold look.

Xiao Hei, with his mouth covered, looked terrified.

Hawke admired the fear in Xiao Hei's eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved into a nice arc.

"Now……"

"It's my turn to rob you."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Gwen put her phone back into her pocket and went directly to the escape stairs embedded in the outer wall of Hawke's new apartment, and then reached the top floor smoothly.

Gwen moved aside the shorts that seemed to be made from casual pants and were hanging in front of the half-open window, then jumped into Hawke's apartment through the window.

Look around.

The living room is not big. A second-hand sofa and a second-hand folding table with a laptop on it take up two-thirds of the space.

But it’s clean.

It cannot be said to be spotless, but it can be said to be well organized.

Gwen looked at the living room and her first impression was comfort.

She had never been to Hawke's previous apartment, and this was the first time she had seen this apartment.

but……

Just as Gwen took out the envelope that Dr. Connors asked her to pass on to Hawke from her pocket and put it on the folding table, her eyes were attracted by the closed notebook on the folding table.

Not because she was surprised that Hawke had a computer.

But...

Sticker on the computer case.

"It also……"

"It's so cute."

Gwen looked at the girlish stickers on the notebook cover and couldn't help but laugh. She was a little curious about which girl sold Hawke this notebook.

She never thought that the stickers on the notebook were put by Hawke, nor did she even think about which girl gave her the notebook.

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

Because no one knows Hawke better than she does.

She had no doubt that if she had spoken to Hawke after handing him the phone, he would have returned it to her.

So just in case, Gwen simply didn't meet Hawke for those ten days.

Gwen thought so in her heart, then she withdrew her gaze, glanced at the envelope on the folding table, and turned to leave.

The moment she turned around, the open sun-protective jacket slid open, creating a gust of wind that blew the envelope on the folding table.

The envelope took off directly and then blew into the bedroom next to the living room.

Gwen walked over subconsciously, bent down and picked up the envelope that was almost blown under the bed. The moment she stood up, a faint green light lit up from under the bed and was caught by Gwen's peripheral vision.

Her movement of picking up the envelope suddenly froze.

Gwen looked under the bed.

A tightly wrapped bed sheet instantly came into view.

But this bed sheet is definitely not a good thing.

At least it's not dark.

The faint green light at this moment flickered through the bed sheets, just like the rhythm of breathing.

But the light is dim.

Even though it was daytime, Gwen would definitely not have seen it if she hadn't just happened to catch a glimpse of the light source out of the corner of her eye.

what is this?

Gwen squatted down and leaned over to look under the bed. When she saw this scene, her eyebrows couldn't help but raise.

Gwen was thinking about this, and just as she was about to stand up while grabbing the envelope she had just picked up, her eyes moved upwards and she saw a slightly broken picture frame placed next to the bedside table.

There was a photo in the broken frame.

The background of the photo is Times Square, and the protagonists in the photo are a young man and woman who look about fourteen years old, with their clothes a little worn and white.

A man Gwen knew.

Hawke.

Hawke is smiling happily in the photo.

Gwen had never seen Hawke smile like that in her memory.

But this girl in the photo?

Gwen frowned again, put the envelope aside, and grabbed the photo on the bedside table to look at it.

This photo was probably taken when Hawke was fourteen years old, not long after he started school.

Gwen looked at the photo and mentally confirmed the time it was taken.

Because Gwen recognized the pants Hawke was wearing in the photo.
