Marvel: Awakening the Universe

Hawke was woken by the phone call.

Hawke opened his eyes while lying on the bed and saw the photo frame coming towards him. He then stretched out his right hand and grabbed the phone that was charging on the bedside table.

"Hey."

"Go downstairs."

"..."

Hawke's computer was down for less than a second, then he got up from the bed, put on his T-shirt, walked to the living room window, opened it, and saw Gwen standing across the street next to the yellow Corolla and waving at him.

Oh.

wrong.

It should be my girlfriend Gwen.

He still felt a little unbelievable.

Say it again.

Gwen Stacy is my girlfriend now.

Hawke thought to himself, smiled and waved to Gwen who was standing downstairs, then hung up the phone and walked towards the door.

Soon.

Hawke appeared at the door of the apartment building, crossed the street and came to Gwen.

"what happened?"

"Are you free tonight? My mother invites you to dinner."

"Uh……"

Lemony sea bass!

This was the first thought that flashed through Hawke's mind when Gwen invited him to dinner at her house.

After all, this dish can be said to have a long-standing reputation in a sense.

Hawke's thoughts turned, and he looked at Gwen's expectant eyes in front of him. After thinking for a while, he nodded.

"it is good."

"It's settled then. What are you going to do later?"

"Well, let's go to the library and read."

"..."

After saying this, Hawke looked at Gwen, who was silent but smiling at him, and laughed out loud: "I'm really going to the library to read this time."

After all, school starts tomorrow.

It's grade twelve, the last year of high school. If nothing unexpected happens, someone from New York University will come this semester to conduct the final inspection and confirm the scholarship.

Although he said he didn't even care whether he could go to New York University.

but……

If possible, he still wanted to go. After all, studying law at New York University and then finding a way to become a district attorney or even a judge was his dream before he awakened his inner universe.

And he had been working hard on this matter for the past three years.

Gwen looked at Hawke seriously, then a bright smile spread across her face.

"Let's go then."

"Where?"

"Aren't you going to the library? I happen to be going to the library too. It's perfect. You can take me home after reading, but you have to accompany me to Osborne Bioindustries first."

"boarding."

Hawke looked at Gwen, who walked to the driver's seat, opened the door and beckoned him to get in while talking. Without hesitation, he opened the passenger door and got in.

Just like he just said.

He really planned to go to the library to read and study today.

It's a combination of work and rest.

In the microcosm, the Phoenix Star Map transformed into a phoenix, and the colorful Gamma-Enemy absorbed from the Quantico base wandered in the Phoenix Star Map.

Phoenix was still concentrating on refining Gamanion at this moment.

Hawke and Gwen spent the entire day coming out of Osborn Bioindustries and arriving at the library, where they stayed quietly reading books.

He wants to go to New York University.

Gwen wanted to go to Berkeley.

Ok.

Both of them are working hard for their future.

In the afternoon.

Before leaving, Hawke registered and took away the book he had not finished reading.

When he walked out of the library, Gwen was already waiting in the car.

A man who had just quickly gone in to borrow a book and came out screamed in pain when he saw a parking ticket stuck on his windshield wiper.

Hawke watched this scene, got into the car, and asked curiously, "Didn't you get a ticket on your car?"

Gwen shook her head and smiled, "Dad registered my license plate into the police system."

Hawke suddenly realized.

……

Chapter 40 Gwen's Two Brothers

Manhattan, Goering Apartments!

Helen Stacy, who has been a good wife and mother at home since marrying George Stacy, is preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Nine-year-old Howard Stacey and eight-year-old Simon Stacey, Gwen's two younger brothers, were sitting in the living room, catching up on the TV.

Yes.

Every second counts, because once Helen has time, she will urge them to study.

In Helen's words, your sister Gwen is such a good student, and since you two came from the same womb, you two should be good students too.

But in fact, Howard and Simon's grades cannot be said to be very bad. It can only be said that they have been hovering around the passing line, and sometimes they will fall if they are not careful.

This is not.

Howard and Simon failed their year-end exams this year, so Helen simply cut off one hour of their daily entertainment time.

at this time.

The doorbell rings.

"Howard, Simon, you should go back to your room and read."

"……All right."

Helen walked out of the kitchen, glanced at Howard and Simon sitting on the sofa, said something lightly, and then walked to the door and opened it while watching Howard and Simon walking obediently towards their rooms on the second floor.

Hawke stood at the door and looked at Helen, who appeared in front of him after the door opened. Her first impression was very gentle. He smiled and greeted her: "Good evening, Mrs. Stacy."

Helen was stunned when she opened the door, and then she warmly invited Hawke into the house: "Good evening, Hawke, come in."

Hawke said thank you and was then pulled into the house by Gwen.

This was the first time Hawke visited someone else's home in this life.

Gwen's apartment is also on the top floor, and it is a duplex structure with two floors. The area is not very large, but wherever you look, it gives people a warm and tidy feeling.

Hearing the noise downstairs, George Stacy, who was in the study on the second floor, walked down the stairs with a serious face.

Gwen, who was downstairs taking Hawke to quickly familiarize herself with her mother, heard the footsteps and looked at George coming down: "Dad."

When Hawke saw George, he greeted him politely, "Mr. Stacy."

George looked serious and meticulous, just like a serious leader.

But this time it's much better than yesterday.

George at least nodded, and then walked towards the dining table without saying a word.

Helen looked at her husband and shook her head in amusement, then said to Hawke, "Hawk, come sit down, it's time to eat."

Hawke thanked him again, then, led by Gwen, nodded and smiled again as George, who was sitting across from him, sat down.

Helen then shouted towards the second floor.

"Howard, Simon, come down to dinner."

"coming."

Howard and Simon, who had been waiting for this moment in the room with their books, ran down from the second floor and were slightly stunned when they saw the stranger in the restaurant. They continued to stare at Hawke even after sitting down in their seats.

Hawke noticed and extended his right hand towards Howard.

"Hello, Howard, my name is Hawke."

"My name is Howard."

"My name is Simon."

Eight-year-old Simon stood up from his seat and stretched out his little hand to shake Hawke's hand. He looked at Hawke and blinked: "Are you my sister's boyfriend?"

Hawke subconsciously glanced at George who was sitting opposite him.

really.

George's face now looked like the black man's.

very dark.

but……

He didn't object.

Hawke smiled slightly and nodded to Simon, who had the same blonde hair as Gwen: "Yes."

As soon as these words came out.

George's face darkened even further.

Gwen smiled and reached out to rub her brother Simon's head.

Well done, bro.

She decided to give her brother ten dollars as a reward before going to bed tonight.

As for Howard, he didn't.

Unlike the Eastern style of dinner, Gwen's family's dinner is a very clear and typical American style of separate meals.

Of course.

This could also be what George Stacy meant.

No matter what, Hawke is an outsider. Unless they are very familiar with each other since childhood, or have been here many times, otherwise, if they come for the first time, they basically won’t use the shared dining system.

Hawke could understand.

But even though we ate separately, I have to say that dinner was indeed delicious.

In this life alone, this was the first time Hawke had eaten a dinner that felt most like dinner.

Not to mention the food in school.

When Hawke is alone, he doesn't pursue anything, as long as he is full, because living is already difficult.

On the table.

George ate his dinner in silence, just like the head of the family.

Helen was like a gentle matriarch, always concerned about whether Hawke liked the food and asking some simple questions.
