Chapter 1153: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 628

Anya fell asleep.

Hawk raised an eyebrow, looking at his sister who had fallen asleep amidst her tears, and exchanged a glance with Wanda beside him.

Wanda looked at her sister-in-law, who was still clutching her man tightly even in her sleep, and shook her head with a sense of helplessness.

Hawk then turned his gaze to Xu Xialing, who was standing to the side without a word.

He looked at the Xu Xialing before him, thinking of Xu Wenwu—that rebellious son who had become a "banana" (yellow skin, white heart) under the influence of his descendants—and then thought of Xu Wenwu, who was as devoted and singular as he himself was.

Hawk withdrew his gaze and then spoke to Xu Xialing.

"Sorry to bother you."

"When you have the chance to see your father, tell Xu Wenwu that if I were him, when there is a 'banana' rebellious son in the house, I would choose to clean house rather than offer infinite tolerance, because that could end up costing me my own life."

"I'm leaving."

After saying this, Hawk turned around, holding his sister who was fast asleep in his arms, while his right hand swept across the air in front of him.

The next second.

A Portal to 521A Palm Street instantly appeared amidst the ripples in space.

Hawk held his sister Anya and stepped into the Portal.

Wanda followed closely behind.

In the blink of an eye, Hawk had already disappeared from before Xu Xialing with his sister Anya and Wanda, as if they had never been there at all.

The next second.

The surrounding noise and clamor returned to Xu Xialing's ears.

Listening to the commotion, Xu Xialing finally reacted, realizing that the people around them seemed to have seen nothing of what just happened; it was as if, at that moment, the space she and Hawk and the others occupied had been isolated.

"Hiss!"

"Hawk Phoenix."

After coming to her senses, Xu Xialing gasped, then recalled the words Hawk had said before leaving, took another deep breath, and hurried toward her office.

Just as Xu Xialing was preparing to call her father, Xu Wenwu.

Far away at the home at 521A Palm Street, Hawk had already placed his fast-asleep sister on the bed and tucked her in.

After Hawk came out of the room, the entire house had been cleaned by Wanda using Chaos Magic; even the floor was clean enough to reflect a person's image.

"I thought this place had already been seized."

"Pepper has been helping to pay the property taxes here."

"Pepper?"

Hawk heard this and looked at Wanda: "Pepper Potts?"

Wanda nodded: "It's Pepper Stark. After the Blip, Pepper kept helping to pay the property taxes here, even though I said it wasn't necessary. Pepper said that, at the very least, this place is home."

Hawk nodded thoughtfully.

After the Blip, it wasn't just the Stark family that was shattered; 521A Palm Street had also fallen apart.

The first to leave home was his sister Anya, who felt she had been deceived.

The next to leave was Wanda, who went to Westview to construct a town where Hawk existed.

521A Palm Street was instantly left empty.

But this is the Federation, and the Guoshui Bureau doesn't care if you have people or not; they only know that if you don't pay taxes on time, they will seize your house.

And during this period, it was Pepper who paid the taxes for 521A Palm Street.

Hawk thought of Tony Stark, who had disappeared in this space-time because of the snap: "How is Pepper now?"

Wanda shook her head: "Pepper values family more now and doesn't really care about outside matters anymore."

Hawk nodded.

Wanda looked at Hawk's expression, seemingly thinking of something.

"Do you want to resurrect Stark as well?"

"Tony? His soul is not in the Underworld."

Hawk laughed and looked at Wanda: "His soul belongs to Death."

Although Tony lost his life because he forcibly sacrificed himself to snap the Infinity Gauntlet, logically speaking, his soul should belong to the Underworld.

But don't forget, there is a Soul Stone among the Infinity Stones.

Therefore!

Tony's soul actually belongs to Death.

And wanting to take a soul from Death's hands is not that easy.

At the very least, Pepper helping to pay the property taxes all these years to preserve 521A Palm Street is not enough.

However...

"We'll see."

Hawk thought for a moment and did not give a definitive answer: "Even if I wanted to resurrect him, it wouldn't be now."

It was still because of the 616 universe itself and the Celestials.

He did have a way to contact Death; when he was in the mutant universe, Death had given him a contact method before leaving.

But Hawk wouldn't contact Death to come to this universe right now.

Because it would expose him.

Therefore, whether he was willing or wanted to resurrect Tony Stark, or Natasha who sacrificed her soul in this space-time, it wouldn't be done now—at the very least, not until he had chopped up the Celestials.

As for the present?

Hawk smiled slightly and looked at Wanda: "It's about time to go to the Underworld to find Moxi."

Wanda raised an eyebrow.

"When?"

"After Anya wakes up."

Hawk thought for a moment and smiled at Wanda: "Don't wait for her to wake up and find me gone, only to think you were lying to her again."

Wanda heard this, thought about it, and nodded.

"Indeed."

"This sister of yours is truly a brother-obsessed one."

"No."

Hawk smiled slightly.

"Not brother-obsessed!"

"But rather, we depend on each other for survival."
