Marvel: Awakening the Universe

Gwen acted as a mediator between her boyfriend and her mother, while also acting as a vigilant guard sitting across from her father George, fearing that he would suddenly lose his temper.

Nine-year-old Howard and eight-year-old Simon were busy eating their own meals.

They ate happily.

at this time.

George grabbed the whiskey on the side, took a sip, coughed, and cleared his throat.

next second.

Helen and Gwen's eyes instantly fell on George.

coming.

Hawke said to himself, and turned his gaze to George, who was sitting opposite him and had been watching his every move out of the corner of his eye.

Just as George was about to speak, Helen met Gwen's pleading look, smiled inwardly, but still spoke first.

"By the way, George, tell us about your work. Did you catch Spider-Man?"

"..."

George glanced at Helen, then glanced at Gwen with a half-smile, and finally set his eyes on Hawke: "Not yet, but we will. After all, he is an outsider, and he has left us a lot of clues."

Done.

George didn't give Helen and Gwen a chance to interrupt. He looked at Hawke with a smile and said, "By the way, Hawke, what do you think of this Spider-Man who has appeared recently? Do you also think he is a so-called vigilante?"

Gwen placed her left hand under the table and grabbed Hawke's thigh lightly.

Hawke received Gwen's implicit reminder, laughed, and shook his head.

"Sir, I've been in Maryland these days. I just came back yesterday and went to the library to read all day today."

"To be frank."

"I'm still a student, so my only concern now is whether I can get a scholarship to NYU so that the bank can approve my loan application."

"As for that Spider-Man, I don't care if he's a vigilante or some hippie criminal trying to get attention."

"..."

Chapter 41 New semester, new classmates!

After Hawke said this, he could clearly feel his thighs tighten again.

He actually accepted Gwen's hint.

obviously.

George's question was a trick question.

Who is George Stacy?

The sergeant of the 19th Precinct of the New York Police Department.

If Hawke thought Spider-Man was a vigilante, then in George's eyes, that was no different than speaking up for criminals.

So Gwen's reminder just now was to tell him not to fall into the trap and answer according to George's identity.

but……

If he said that, he would have really fallen into George's trap.

If Hawke described Spider-Man as a criminal, he would probably become a flatterer in George's eyes.

So, this question seems to be a problem, but in fact it is a problem that no matter what choice he makes, it will be a wrong problem in the end.

Hawke chose either A or B.

He jumped out.

He is just a student now. He doesn't care whether Spider-Man is a criminal or a vigilante. He only cares about whether he can get a scholarship to New York University.

That's it.

If someone else had answered like this, it probably wouldn't have worked either, as it would have given George the impression that he was cunning.

But Hawke's answer was just right.

In a word.

Hawke didn't believe that George hadn't thoroughly investigated him.

He wasn't afraid of George Cha either.

Because that's what he said and that's what he always did.

The unity of knowledge and action.

Nothing more than that.

At most, he had never left New York City before, but he was frugal and suddenly left New York City for Maryland this year.

But this matter is also easy to explain.

He is still a young man after all. Besides, traveling is not about doing anything bad.

Ok.

At least when he was practicing in Maryland, he really didn't do anything bad.

Besides, the federal government is governed by the states, so what does the bad things he did in Washington, D.C. have to do with him now in New York City?

Following his answer, Sheriff George Stacy's eyes were a little surprised at first, and then he seemed to have thought of something and nodded, almost announcing the end of dinner.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Gwen takes Hawke downstairs.

She finally realized what was happening and looked at Hawke. "You're very quick, Hawke. I didn't even realize Dad's question was a trap."

Hawke laughed. "Because that's exactly what I thought."

Gwen nodded: "Okay, then you should go back early. Unfortunately, I can't take you home."

Because she was under curfew.

It wasn't George, but Helen. This was Helen's punishment for not telling Gwen anything and having the audacity to go to Maryland alone.

In the past, Gwen was able to return home freely before ten o'clock in the evening, but yesterday Helen re-set the curfew and moved it forward from ten o'clock to nine o'clock.

"It's okay, I can get there quickly by subway."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Hawke nodded and watched Gwen return to the apartment building before turning around and walking towards the nearby subway station.

If the New York City subway during the day is a chaotic place.

Then the subway at night can be said to be a zombie meeting.

You can't expect the subway management to be strict when it is so easy to evade fares.

So usually, New Yorkers will only choose to take the subway at night unless they have no other choice.

Hawke is fine though.

On the way back to his apartment on the subway, he knocked out a hilarious guy and chased away two black guys with half-dreadlocks who came to him singing and dancing. He returned home safely.

As for why there are two and a half singing and dancing little black guys, it is actually very simple.

One of them was the size of a small black Adam's apple, but the chest was equally huge.

and so……

Two and a half, no problem.

After returning home, Hawke looked at the message sent by Gwen, replied, and then went to bed.

School starts tomorrow.

Go to bed early so that you can get up early tomorrow and take the free school bus back to school to report.

When they came out of Gwen's house after dinner, Gwen said that she could pick him up from school tomorrow.

But he refused.

Because if he did this, Hawke would always have the illusion that he chose to date Gwen just so that he could get a ride in Gwen's car in the new semester.

Even though he knew he wasn't.

But others may not think so. He may not care what others think of him, but he always has to consider what others think of Gwen.

After thinking about it, Hawke suddenly understood why, once a person has the ability, the country will help him find a wife even if he doesn't want to get married and have children.

Although Gwen is not his wife, the principle is the same.

the next day.

Hawke got up early and just walked over and boarded the school bus when it arrived at a nearby stop.

The driver was the bearded Hall who looked fierce on the outside but was gentle on the inside.

"Good morning, Hall."

"Good morning Hawke, are you ready for your final semester?"

"I don't graduate until next year, Hall."

"Maybe you can get an invitation letter from New York University this semester. I have confidence in you."

"Well, thank you, Hall."

"You're welcome."

After Hawke exchanged a few words with bearded Hall, he walked over to his old seat and sat down.

The school bus was driving along the scheduled route. Every time it stopped, one or two students would get on the bus. When the bus arrived at the Forest Hills stop, this time, an acquaintance got on the bus.

As soon as he got on the bus, Peter Parker, under the influence of his spider sense, immediately cast his eyes on Hawke, who was sitting alone in the last row by the window.

The moment Peter got on the bus, Hawke withdrew his gaze and looked at Peter standing at the entrance and... the man next to Peter who looked a little melancholy.

This is……

Harry Osborn?

And this is also the original Spider-Genius version of Harry Osborn, the same Harry Osborn who got to Mary Jane first.

At this moment, Peter had already said goodbye to his good friend Harry, who had returned from the UK this year and transferred to Midtown High School, and then led Harry towards where Hawk was.

"Hawk."

"Peter."

"Hawk, this is Harry. He used to go to school in England, but he transferred to our school this year. He's in the twelfth grade, just like us."

"Harry, this is Hawke."

After Peter came over, he greeted Hawke and introduced Harry to the side.

Harry, who had not yet turned into the Green Goblin, was wearing a casual suit and smiled as he extended his right hand towards Hawke.

"Hello, Hawke."

"Hello, Harry."

"..."

Chapter 42 New semester, old program!

As the school bus was heading towards Midtown High School, Hawke learned from Peter and Harry how the two met.

Even though he always knew.

When Peter's parents were still alive, they were researchers at Osborne Bioindustries.

Both of them.

Because of scientific research reasons, Peter's parents often take Peter to work at Osborne Bioindustries.
