Chapter 133: Marvel: Awakening the Small Universe at the Start, Chapter 62

Natasha was stunned for a moment, then reacted, quickly getting up and running in the direction the sound came from.

Sure enough.

It was the phone she had dropped.

Natasha quickly picked up the phone from the ground, looked at the incoming call on the screen, took a deep breath, and answered the call.

"Director."

"Natasha."

S. H. I. E. L. D. Triskelion Headquarters.

Nick Fury, wearing a black trench coat and an eye patch, highly recognizable, stood in the combat command center with his hands on his hips. As Natasha's voice came through clearly, he asked directly.

"Estimated time of arrival in Tennessee?"

"Estimated..."

Natasha opened her mouth, then looked at Bruce Banner, who was leaning against the tree with an inexplicable expression—somewhat happy, somewhat lost, and somewhat angry—and then reacted.

"Director, Hulk has been killed by someone."

"..."

The expression on Nick Fury's face, who had his hands on his hips, froze instantly.

His single eye also couldn't help but contract.

Commander Maria Hill, standing to the side in her S. H. I. E. L. D. combat uniform, was also stunned upon hearing Natasha's words.

"What do you mean Hulk is dead? Is Bruce Banner dead?"

"No, Dr. Bruce Banner is still alive, only Hulk is dead."

"..."

Hulk is dead, but Bruce Banner is not?

These words left the S. H. I. E. L. D. Director and Commander bewildered.

Nick Fury came back to his senses, his dark face filled with seriousness: "Report in detail."

Natasha responded, then began from the time she picked up Dr. Bruce Banner at the airport.

She spoke of how they successfully arrived at the vacation cabin, how Dr. Bruce Banner had put away his luggage and was preparing to head back to the airport to go to Tennessee, when a person named Hawk, who claimed to be coming for revenge for his sister, appeared.

Then she spoke of how Hawk, who looked less than twenty-one years old, fought Hulk without falling behind, even dragging Hulk into the lake, and later killing Hulk in the lake.

She didn't hide anything, telling it exactly as it happened, including the fact that she had been knocked out by Gwen.

Nick Fury and Maria Hill, who were in the Triskelion command center, were completely numb as they listened to Natasha's account.

Especially when hearing that Natasha had been knocked out by a girl who was also under twenty-one, Maria Hill's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Nick Fury's breathing even paused.

Good grief.

A dignified S. H. I. E. L. D. agent, the super-agent codenamed Black Widow, was knocked out by a girl under twenty-one?

This couldn't be a joke, could it?

Natasha also keenly captured the pause in breathing on the other end of the phone: "Sorry, Director, Commander, things happened too suddenly, I didn't have time to think carefully at the time."

Thinking about it now, she had indeed been careless at the time.

How could a strange girl appear here at this time, so coincidentally?

But at the time, she had just woken up from the shockwave, her head was still a bit muddled, and Gwen had no weapons and indeed appeared to have no threat.

As a result...

A future dark history had appeared.

Natasha felt somewhat melancholy at the thought of having such a dark history in the future.

Just then, Maria Hill's voice sounded again.

"Do you think that girl who knocked you out and that person named Hawk are in cahoots?"

"Without a doubt."

Natasha nodded affirmatively, then seemingly thinking of something, frowned slightly.

"However..."

"Speak."

Nick Fury's tone was low.

Natasha recounted what Bruce had just told her: after Hulk died, he could have left him at the bottom of the lake to drown, but Hawk chose to save him.

And herself.

Natasha thought of a sentence Hawk had said at the time.

"Every grievance has its source, every debt has its debtor."

"What?"

Maria Hill seemed not to have heard clearly as she listened to Natasha muttering this sentence.

Natasha came back to her senses: "Commander, that Hawk said from the beginning that he came for Hulk, for revenge."

So...

This was the reason the other party didn't kill Natasha and Bruce Banner?

Quite principled.

Maria Hill thought to herself.

But Nick Fury obviously didn't think so.

"Heh."

Nick Fury, with his hands on his hips, sneered: "Natasha, you just said, he called out your name and our S. H. I. E. L. D. from the beginning?"

Natasha came back to her senses.

"Yes."

"He is afraid, he doesn't want to be our enemy."

"..."

Natasha was silent.

Maria Hill glanced sideways, her brows slightly furrowed as she looked at Nick Fury.

She didn't quite agree with Nick Fury's statement.

They knew how powerful Hulk was; he couldn't be killed even when locked in a glass cage ten thousand meters in the air.

Let alone a Hawk who could kill Hulk.

Maria Hill thought, and just as she was about to raise an objection, Nick Fury had already spoken again.

"That Hawk's name, just Hawk, are there any other details that can be used to find him?"

"... One moment."

Natasha was slightly stunned upon hearing Nick Fury's words, subconsciously looking around, and then saw the license plate on the flattened Corolla not far away: "Director, a car suspected to be the one they drove was found at the scene."

Nick Fury's single eye lit up upon hearing this.

"GW521!"

"Check it!"

Nick Fury immediately ordered a S. H. I. E. L. D. agent.

The S. H. I. E. L. D. agent responded and began operating the keyboard.
