Marvel: Awakening the Universe

The only person who knew his true identity, and who was as taciturn as him in the school, teased him like this.

What if this happened to someone else?

The most important point is that he is a chivalrous man, which is true. Uncle Ben would be very pleased to see him now.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

but……

No matter how powerful you are, you still need to sleep. Even real spiders need to rest every day.

Besides, he's not a real spider, so he can't be attacking everywhere 24 hours a day.

Peter thought about it, thinking about the topic that was not finished last night, and lowered his voice.

"What do you think Dr. Connors wants to do by doing this?"

"I don't know, I don't care, I don't care."

Hawke shook his head and pressed the key three times.

Peter looked at Hawke, who had returned to his usual frugal nature after saying this, and was looking at the scenery outside the window. He opened his mouth, but said nothing else.

He hadn't considered inviting Hawke to join him as a vigilante.

After all, what you like may not be liked by others, so don't force others to like it.

Peter understood this point.

Arrived at school.

The popularity of the lizard monster not only did not abate, but it seemed to be getting more and more intense after students from all grades gathered together.

Various rumors.

All kinds of gossip.

They are flying all over the sky among the adolescent students who are fifteen, sixteen or seventeen years old and have too much hormone to control.

At noon.

Hawke ordered a hamburger and a Coke as usual. He was eating when Gwen, who had finished class later than him and arrived late, sat opposite him with a tray of food.

"I just received news that I don't need to go to Osborn Bioindustries recently. Dr. Connors's laboratory was robbed by lizardmen, and Dr. Connors is missing."

"Uh……"

Hawke looked up, thought for a moment, then looked at Gwen and lowered his voice: "Either the Lizard Man or Dr. Connors stole it."

He had originally planned to tell Gwen about this when he saw her at school in the morning.

But in the morning, gossip girl Mary was also next to Gwen. Hawke thought about it and didn't say anything at that time.

But it’s the same now.

It won't delay anything.

After hearing Hawke's words, Gwen was stunned at first, then her expression instantly turned into shock, and her chest rose and fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But soon.

She seemed to remember that this was a restaurant and it was not appropriate to make loud noises, but she stared with wide eyes at Hawke who continued to eat his hamburger after saying this.

"What, Dr. Connors is...real?"

"There's a 99 percent chance. Spider-Man said the Lizard Man has my scent, though it's very weak."

"Spider-Man?"

"Ah."

Hawke nodded naturally.

Gwen was stunned again.

If her eyes weren't already wide open, she felt they could have opened them even wider.

"You know Spider-Man?"

"Correct."

"Who is he?"

"can not say."

Hawke shook his head and chose not to tell Gwen that Peter was a spider spirit.

Tell Gwen the identity of Dr. Lizard because there is a chance that Dr. Lizard will hurt Gwen.

This is not good.

But Peter was different.

Especially since his version of Peter is the first generation Spider-Man, who is a good neighbor to New Yorkers who, even when possessed by Venom, only wants to buy a discounted suit, ask the newspaper boss for a raise, and make the eyes of those he dislikes dusty.

And Peter didn't brag about his strength everywhere.

Naturally, he would not tell others that Peter was the spider spirit.

Hawke said this, then smiled at Gwen's big, unblinking eyes. "Even if you look at me like that, I won't tell you."

Gwen then averted her gaze.

If you don’t want to tell me, then don’t tell me. I’ll find it myself.

Again.

No one knows Hawke better than her. Hawke's network of relationships is very simple. Basically, she knows everyone Hawke knows.

and so……

If Hawke knew Spider-Man, then there was a high probability that he also knew Spider-Man.

She is very confident.

Gwen lowered her voice as she quickly picked out the people that both she and Hawke knew.

"No, how did Dr. Connors become the lizard man from yesterday?"

"do not know."

Hawke shook his head. "I guess only God knows what happened. I spoke to Dr. Connors on the phone that time, and he said his regeneration potion was successful on a mouse with a broken tail."

That's what Gwen asked him, and he thought about it for a moment.

If it were Peter, he would be too lazy to think about it.

Even if Dr. Lizard pierced New York City, it would not be his turn, because there would be people who would be more anxious than him.

Hawke thought to himself, then saw Gwen's eyes widen again.

……

Chapter 49 Hawke's Blood Analysis Report

"what did you just say?"

"Uh, I don't know?"

"No, what experiment did you just say the doctor used to succeed?"

"A little white mouse with a broken tail. Didn't I tell you last time?"

Hawke frowned, looked at Gwen, who seemed a little shocked, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Gwen said nothing.

She frowned.

The experiment was successful.

White mouse with a broken tail.

For some reason, Gwen's mind suddenly emerged. Two months ago, the little white mouse escaped from prison after the laboratory accident and licked Hawk's blood.

If she remembered correctly.

It seems that the little white mouse's tail is broken.

"hiss!"

Gwen subconsciously took a breath, then looked at Hawke, then took out her cell phone from her pocket, found one of the numbers and dialed it.

Hawke, who was sitting opposite, raised his eyebrows when he saw Gwen's actions.

soon.

Gwen's phone rang.

"Hey, Elsa."

"Gwen? Are you here to ask what happened? Sorry, the company made us sign a confidentiality agreement."

"No, Elsa. I wanted to ask if the doctor's experiment was successful on the mouse with a broken tail?"

"Uh...yeah."

Elsa, a female researcher who had just signed a confidentiality agreement with the company in the Osborne Bio-Industry Building, nodded. "But we can't say it was a success, because it only happened once. We've tried to replicate it since then, but we've failed."

Gwen heard this and quickly asked.

"Did the guinea pig that escaped from prison succeed?"

"Yes, that's the one."

really!

Gwen said to herself, then calmly spoke a few more words to Elsa on the other end of the phone before hanging up.

Hawke looked at Gwen after she hung up the phone and asked curiously, "Is there anything different about the little white mouse that escaped from prison?"

Gwen put her phone away and glanced at Hawke.

She thought about it.

"Do you remember that lab accident?"

"Yeah, remember."

"Your hand was injured and bleeding, right?"

"No."

Hawke shook his head decisively.

Gwen said nothing, just looked at Hawke quietly.

Hawke met Gwen's gaze and thought for a moment, "Okay, just pretend I was injured at the time. Continue."

Gwen stared at Hawke.

"Those few drops of blood you left on the ground were licked away by the tail-broken rat."

"..."

Hawke frowned slightly as he looked at Gwen.

Gwen was also looking at Hawke.

Eyes facing each other.

Hawke averted his gaze and took a deep breath. "Do you doubt that the mouse that successfully cut its tail was the same mouse you saw?"

Gwen shrugged. "That's the only variable. Otherwise, why did the doctor conduct so many animal experiments, but only that little mouse was successful?"

Although she didn't understand what the connection was.

but……

Gwen's mind once again recalled the waterfall deep in the forests of Maryland, which looked like an angry dragon raising its head and rolling back the sky.

And there was Hawke, who was standing under the Reverse Tianhe Waterfall and was the cause of all this.

Hawke didn't say anything, but silently put the large bucket of Coke in his hand aside, then crossed his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly and looked at Gwen.

He thought about what Peter said last night on the rooftop of the apartment.
