Chapter 586
Anna looked subconsciously at Hawkeye, who was watching her with a smile, and couldn't help but speak.
"This is a punishment?"
"Of course."
"No."
Anna shook her head, met Hawkeye's gaze: "This is a gift."
Hawkeye smiled.
"No, this is the punishment for your concealment."
"This isn't..."
"Hey."
Hawkeye arched his sword-like eyebrows, looked at Anna, who insisted on arguing with him about whether this was a punishment or a gift, his face stiffened, very dissatisfied: "Who is the boss here?"
Anna opened her mouth.
"It's you."
"That's it, I say it's a punishment, so it's a punishment; although you are my friend, now it's working hours, remember to call me by my title during working hours, call me Underworld King!"
"..."
Anna looked at Hawkeye, who was putting on a stern face, was silent for a while, then the smile on her face was bright, and then she knelt on one knee: "Thank you, Lord Underworld King."
Hawkeye saw this and didn't stop Anna from kneeling on one knee; after Anna finished speaking, he let Anna stand up again, and then beckoned to Anya, who was standing not far away watching this.
Anya's eyes lit up, and she slid over while calling 'brother'.
Hawkeye then introduced the two women.
"Anna, this is Anya, my sister; when I'm not here, help me look after things on the Pure Land."
"Anya, this is Anna, my friend; when I'm not here, you can find her to chat with you, but be respectful to her, she is one of the few friends your brother has, and the first one at that."
Sure enough.
Her brother must have had a hard time in these four years.
Anya listened to her brother's words about having few friends, thought secretly in her heart, then extended her right hand to Anna with a smiling face: "Hello, my name is Anya, I am my brother's sister."
Anna glanced at Hawkeye, who had a smiling face, and shook hands with Anya with a smile: "Hello, my name is Anna, I am your brother's friend."
Hawkeye looked at this scene, smiled slightly, then turned around, his mind left the small universe and returned to reality.
Coming into view.
Whether it was Gwen, Peter, or Sharon, they were all staring straight at him.
Hawkeye raised an eyebrow.
"Where are Felicia and Dr. Cho?"
"Took the child to the lounge to have lunch."
"Dr. Cho had something to do and left first."
Peter and Sharon said so.
Gwen looked at Hawkeye.
"How is it, Anna said so, is it Hydra playing tricks?"
"Yeah."
Hawkeye nodded, looked at the red-haired little girl still sleeping on the sofa, and suddenly remembered he had forgotten to ask Anna what the red-haired little girl's name was.
If it were a boy, he might still be able to guess.
But a girl...
Couldn't guess at all.
Forget it.
It's the same to ask later.
Hawkeye thought in his heart, then withdrew his gaze, looked at the three people waiting for his answer, and laughed: "Strucker."
"Him again."
Gwen frowned, remembering Hawkeye mentioning this guy who took away his Mind Stone.
"Who is this?"
Peter was completely confused, having no idea who this was.
"Regarding Strucker's whereabouts, we have also been looking for him."
Sharon, listening to the name Hawkeye said, didn't seem surprised at all: "But he hides very deeply, our clues also broke off completely after tracking to Sokovia; he seems to have evaporated from the world."
Regarding the work of hunting down the remnants of Hydra, S. H. I. E. L. D. had already handed it all over to the Avengers where Captain America was.
After all, S. H. I. E. L. D. had many affairs and couldn't waste most of its energy on Hydra.
It just so happened.
Captain America Steve Rogers wanted to find his good buddy Bucky by finding Hydra.
And Iron Man Tony Stark also knew that his father was the founder of S. H. I. E. L. D., plus he was idle anyway, so he helped out.
Thor felt there was alcohol to drink after fighting.
As for Black Widow Natasha and Hawkeye Barton, they were the reason the Avengers' actions could be justified.
After taking over the Hydra incident, the Avengers indeed achieved quite a few battle results.
But there were two Hydra leaders whose whereabouts were still unknown.
Baron Zemo, and...
Wolfgang von Strucker, which is Strucker in Hawkeye's words.
Gwen looked at Hawkeye curiously.
"Did Anna say where she was?"
"She doesn't know."
Hawkeye knew what Gwen wanted to say and directly described Anna's encounter simply.
Gwen and Sharon were silent after hearing it.
Peter, who was mixed in like a silly spore, blinked, then turned and left the office.
He didn't know who Strucker was, and didn't even know who Anna was.
Since that was the case, why stay here? It would be better to go to the lounge to find Felicia and watch his son have lunch.
If he was lucky, he might be able to get a bite too.
Besides.
Even if he knew, he probably couldn't help much.
After all, what level are Hawkeye's enemies? They are either organizations that destroy the world or aliens.
What level are his enemies? Thieves, robbers, the strongest one is Dr. Lizard.
Can't compare, can't compare.
So...
After Peter thought of this, he had no psychological burden, didn't feel squeezed out, and left the office very happily.
Following the sound of Peter closing the door, it woke up Gwen and Sharon.
Gwen looked at Hawkeye: "It's really as you guessed, Anna was imprisoned two years ago."
Hawkeye shook his head: "Can't call it imprisonment; Anna should have been on the verge of death at the time, but was kept alive by Strucker using a life support device until now."
Just like those brain-dead patients in the hospital.
To some extent, they were already dead, but were maintained in basic life by doctors using medical technology.
Simply put.
Can't live, can't die.
Gwen listened to Hawkeye's words: "Same thing, Strucker didn't let Anna die, just didn't want Anna's soul to enter hell, because once Anna died completely, her soul would enter hell; although they didn't know about the Underworld, they knew you could go to hell."
Sharon, standing to the side, heard this, her gaze fell on the red-haired little girl on the sofa, and added: "But now this red-haired little girl doesn't know why she escaped Strucker's control, ran out, and was also discovered by you, so for Strucker, continuing to keep Anna alive has no meaning, therefore they pulled Anna's ventilator."
Hawkeye listened to the joint analysis of his fiancée and the number one agent of New York S. H. I. E. L. D., and nodded thoughtfully.
However, just when he was preparing to express his own opinion.
Hawkeye felt the movement of the red-haired little girl on the sofa and turned his head to look.
Coming into view.
The red-haired little girl, who had slept for about an hour, blinked her eyelashes, and then opened her eyes.
The next second.
The red-haired little girl looked at Hawkeye, who was watching her, a happy smile appeared on her small face, and with a 'whoosh', she got up from the sofa and threw herself into Hawkeye's arms again.
"Daddy!"
"..."
Hawkeye held the red-haired little girl and looked toward Gwen subconsciously.
Sharon also couldn't help but look toward Gwen.
Gwen met Hawkeye and Sharon's gaze, smiled, ignored their eyes, walked to Hawkeye, and took the red-haired little girl into her arms.
The red-haired little girl glanced at Gwen, didn't refuse, but accepted it very happily.
"Aunt Gwen!"
"Aunt?"
Hawkeye arched his sword-like eyebrows, looked at Gwen, who was casting a gaze over, and quickly spread his hands.
God is my witness.
From the first moment he saw this little girl until now, he had always been with Gwen.
Sharon, standing to the side, didn't want to miss this good show, so she lowered her presence as much as possible.
Gwen looked at Hawkeye's actions, her gaze swept past Hawkeye and fell on the red-haired little girl in her arms: "You, know me?"
The red-haired little girl nodded, her smile bright: "Yeah, Daddy showed me your projection, Daddy said you are gentle, smart, and the best woman in the world."
Gwen heard this, and her gaze fell on Hawkeye again with a 'whoosh'.
Sharon, who was lowering her presence to the side, also instantly looked at Hawkeye.
Hawkeye was expressionless: "Not the past and current me."
Although he didn't know what was going on either.
But if nothing unexpected happened, it should be his future self who went to Kamar-Taj to borrow the Time Stone, returned to the past, and met this red-haired little girl.
Speaking of which...
That shouldn't be.
The timeline cannot be disturbed, the Sorcerer Supreme said; speaking of which, the Sorcerer Supreme should have stopped him.
Hawkeye thought in his heart.
Gwen listened to Hawkeye's words, frowned her willow eyebrows, and was just about to say something.
Abruptly.
The alarm sounded loudly.
Sharon, who was trying to lower her presence to the side, also received information from outside at this moment.
"Sir, someone has entered."
"Wha..."
