Marvel: Awakening the Universe

"Thank you for driving the car over for me."

"Gwen."

Natasha frowned and looked at Gwen, who turned around and walked into the house without looking back after saying this. Looking at Gwen's back, she was silent for a while, then turned around and opened the door of the black van parked not far away.

As soon as she got in the car and closed the door, Natasha immediately contacted Maria Hill, who was in charge of the situation at the SHIELD Triplanet.

"commander."

"How about it."

"She won't tell."

Natasha reported the situation truthfully.

She could capture Gwen and torture her to force her to reveal Hawke's whereabouts.

but……

When Natasha saw Gwen, she thought of the scene that day when she was hit with a stick and woke up to find that she was not dead. She ruled out this option in just a moment.

Maria Hill didn't seem surprised when she heard Natasha's answer. She said directly, "No need to ask. Hawke's whereabouts have been found."

Natasha was slightly startled.

"Have you found Hawke?"

"Ah."

"Quantico?"

"No, New Mexico."

"new……"

Natasha was confused: "Why did he go to New Mexico?"

Maria Hill looked at the video just sent back by the SHIELD agent in New Mexico, was silent for a moment and said, "The Ross family cemetery has been destroyed."

As she spoke, Natasha took out the phone on which she had just received the message.

Click on a video that was just sent.

into the eye.

In the video, wherever the eye can see, tombstones are destroyed, graves are like bombarded by artillery shells, and exploded coffins and various debris almost fill the entire cemetery.

Not to mention Ross Manor in front of the cemetery.

After the video footage turned, the manor, which had been decorated extremely luxuriously, had become dilapidated and completely turned into ruins.

Natasha was shocked.

"This……"

"Agents in New York have just confirmed that Hawke's sister Anna's grave has been slightly damaged. This is likely due to last night's battle. If nothing unexpected happens, the destruction of Ross Manor and the Ross family cemetery is Hawke's revenge."

"hiss!"

Natasha took a breath, then seemed to think of something and asked subconsciously.

"Does General Ross know?"

"Ah."

"Wouldn't he be going crazy then?"

Natasha asked subconsciously, then looked at the video playing on the phone screen again.

Others may not know, but if her family cemetery was destroyed like this, she would definitely go crazy.

but……

Live it!

Natasha curled her lips.

They, SHIELD, are still in the process of assessing the danger to Hawke and budgeting ways to contact him, but the military just rushed in without any nonsense.

Do you really think that Hawke's name sounds similar to Hulk's, and he is the second Bruce Banner?

Bruce Banner can only hide when he is chased by you. You don’t really think that everyone will hide from you.

it's good now.

How crazy it was at the beginning, how uncomfortable it is now.

Tsk tsk.

I'm afraid even the bones of Mr. Ross who came down from the Mayflower would be broken.

Natasha marveled inwardly, and then her expression suddenly froze.

"Commander, that's not right. New York City is very far away from New Mexico. It's only been six hours since the incident happened. How could he have gotten to New Mexico so quickly?"

"To be exact, it took him less than three hours to get to New Mexico."

"what?"

Natasha was shocked and said, "This is impossible."

Maria Hill said in a deep voice, "But this is the fact, and now is not the time to worry about how fast he is. If I'm not mistaken, his next move should be to Quantico."

Maybe nothing can be seen from the fact that Hawke killed Hulk in revenge for his sister.

But after the Ross family cemetery was blown up, one thing was almost obvious.

Hawke will take revenge.

and so……

He even destroyed the Ross family cemetery, so how could he let go of Thaddeus Ross who supported last night's action?

Although SHIELD once again lost track of Hawke.

but……

Maria Hill was very sure about Hawke's next move.

It's Quantico.

Natasha frowned as she listened to Maria Hill's speculation.

"Then I..."

"Stay over there."

"Ok?"

Maria Hill said in a deep voice: "See if you can stay with Gwen until this matter is over."

Natasha raised an eyebrow.

"Commander, you mean..."

"I'm not sure yet, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Oh, and don't mention this to anyone, understand?"

"Okay, then..."

Natasha nodded, raised her eyes, and glanced at the three SHIELD agents who were doing their jobs in the van.

Maria Hill seemed to know what Natasha was about to say and shook her head. "The people we're sending this time are agents that Victoria and I trust. They'll be responsible for perimeter security until this matter is over."

Natasha suddenly realized.

"Okay, Commander."

"Bye."

Maria Hill, who was in the office of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters, hung up her phone and put it aside after saying this. Then she leaned back in her chair and subconsciously massaged her trigeminal nerve with her hand.

She originally planned to let Natasha withdraw.

but……

Just when she was about to ask Natasha to withdraw, for some reason, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then she remembered something, so she changed her mind and asked Natasha to stay and protect Gwen.

Because she felt that the military might use Gwen as bait in case they couldn't defeat Hawke head-on.

This is not an illusion, but a judgment based on her experience serving in the army and as an intelligence officer.

The military will do anything to win the war.

And this is a war.

That is to say, the girlfriend Hulk dated at that time was called Betty Ross, the daughter of General Ross. If it was any other girlfriend, Ross would have helped Hulk's girlfriend long ago, and then set a trap for Hulk to fall into it.

Now Hawke has also visited General Ross's family cemetery.

and so……

Just in case, we have to take precautions.

and also……

After Maria Hill finished thinking about General Ross, another name appeared in her mind. She subconsciously looked up and looked towards the office of Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Her intuition told her that Nick Fury was also involved in the military's sudden attack on Hawke.

After all, among the seventy-seven federal soldiers found at the scene, the identity of one soldier was detected by New York SHIELD as a fake.

The corpse was not a military soldier, but a SHIELD soldier.

Few people within SHIELD knew of Hawke's existence. Even if they did, she had already ordered that no one should contact or investigate Hawke privately without her orders.

But now a SHIELD agent has appeared.

And coincidentally, he is dark-skinned.

Maria Hill seriously suspected that the black agent who died on the battlefield in New York was sent by Nick Fury.

The reason is simple.

Yesterday afternoon, the Security Council suddenly announced that Nick Fury's operational authority would be unfrozen.

Action permissions were unfrozen in the afternoon.

The military launched an attack at night.

Is there no necessary connection between the two?

is it possible?

Just as Maria Hill frowned, wondering what she was thinking, the phone on the table rang.

"Hey."

"Commander, we've spotted someone suspected of being Hawke."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Maria Hill immediately stood up and left the office.

happen.

The door of the office opposite also opened.

Nick Fury, whose mobility had been restored, walked out.

Maria Hill did not wait, but took the commander's elevator directly down to the combat command center.

after awhile.

She and Nick Fury walked into the combat command center almost one after the other.

"Huo..."

"Where is that damn criminal now?"

Before Maria Hill could speak, Nick Fury, who had successfully staged a comeback, came over from behind. His voice had returned to its former resounding strength, and as he passed by Maria Hill, he laughed and said, "Sorry, this is not wartime."

Maria Hill smiled formulaically and said nothing.

She is the deputy director and wartime commander of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Simply put, only when S.H.I.E.L.D. enters a wartime state will her authority automatically surpass Nick Fury's.

But normally, Nick Fury, whose authority to act has been revoked, has more say than her as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Director."
