Chapter 937: Hawk's Personal Scientist (Third Update!!!)
Pietro eventually drove off alone in Hawk’s Audi A8, carrying the clever Hearing Anya toward the direction of Westview.
Although he wasn't very willing.
But he had also confirmed one thing.
Hawk and Hearing Wanda, who had both disappeared for a period of time one after the other, must have had something happen between them.
Pietro really wanted to know what had happened.
So...
While driving toward Westview, Pietro looked out of the corner of his eye at Hearing Anya, who was sitting in the passenger seat observing the scenery outside that looked similar yet different to the 616 universe, trying to get an answer from her.
But!
Please.
Hearing Anya from the 616 universe was, from a certain perspective, also an agent—just a Hydra agent.
So, when Pietro clumsily tried to bring up the topic, she finally couldn't help but look at him with a half-smile: "Pietro, are you trying to find out from me the story between my brother and Hearing Wanda in another universe?"
Pietro glanced at the smiling Hearing Anya, opened his mouth, and let out a sigh.
"Alright, you are indeed the clever one."
"Thanks."
Hearing Anya smiled slightly, then said to Pietro: "How about this, you tell me the story of my brother and his other sister-in-law, Gwen, first, and in exchange, I'll tell you the story of my brother and sister-in-law Hearing Wanda in my universe, how about that?"
Pietro raised an eyebrow, his left hand on the steering wheel, and extended his right hand toward Hearing Anya.
"Deal, happy to cooperate."
"Happy to cooperate."
"Achoo!"
"Achoo!"
"...God bless you both."
Because it was the weekend, Felicia, who was playing with little Ben at the Osborne estate, received Hawk and Hearing Wanda when they arrived. Seeing the two of them sneeze in unison, she hugged little Ben, took a few steps back, and offered her blessing.
Hawk looked at Felicia, who had been about to hand little Ben to him after sneezing but suddenly turned wary, terrified that he had brought back some multiverse virus, and shook his head speechlessly.
"Come on, Felicia, multiverse virus, are you serious?"
"I've never even disinfected."
"I am a god!"
Hawk raised an eyebrow: "Immune to all poisons."
Felicia shrugged: "Hawk, little Ben is your godson; you wouldn't want anything to happen to him, would you?"
Hearing Felicia's phrasing, Hawk felt a bit dazed.
He had an illusion.
He seemed to be treated like a Japanese person.
However, before Hawk could react, Felicia, while holding little Ben, led Hawk and Hearing Wanda out of the main building. After passing through it, they arrived behind the main building at the entrance of a laboratory that looked newly built and even had a somewhat sci-fi exterior.
Felicia scanned her pupils to open the laboratory entrance.
"Peter is inside."
"Wow."
Hawk and Hearing Wanda followed behind Felicia. After entering the lab, the first thing they saw was the massive quantum shuttle not far away.
At a glance.
Besides that massive quantum shuttle, there was a dazzling array of all kinds of experimental equipment.
Hawk studied law.
So he couldn't understand what this equipment was for, but there was one thing Hawk could tell.
This equipment looked expensive at first glance.
Hawk smacked his lips, looked at Felicia who was leading the way, and said with a smile: "Good grief, how much did Peter coax you to make you support him with money like this?"
Felicia held little Ben, turned to look at Hawk, and said with a smile: "No, this is what I wanted to do to make him happy."
Hawk raised an eyebrow, looking at the happy smile on Felicia's face when she spoke of Peter, and also smiled.
"Alright, my mistake."
"Besides, doing this is better than letting Peter moonlight as a volunteer policeman every day, don't you think?"
"...I strongly agree."
Hawk nodded in agreement with Felicia's sentiment.
Soon.
After turning a corner, a massive silver hall housing the quantum shuttle device appeared in Hawk and Hearing Wanda's line of sight.
Peter, wearing a lab coat, seemed to be video chatting with someone, spouting a string of terms that sounded very impressive even if they were incomprehensible.
The person on the other end of the video call with Peter was an acquaintance.
Hank Pym.
Felicia, standing to the side, explained: "After you brought Dr. Pym over last time, Peter has been in constant contact with him. The two of them are tinkering with some project; sometimes they video call for half a day at a time."
Hearing this, Hawk glanced at Felicia and said with a smile: "Hey, it's your choice—either let Peter stay cooped up here, or let him be a friendly neighbor all over New York City. You choose."
Felicia looked at Hawk, who was answering her with her own words, and shook her head with a smile.
"Home is better; at least doing scientific research isn't dangerous."
"By the way."
Felicia said this and looked at Hawk: "Right, Hawk?"
Hawk looked at Felicia, who seemed to be seeking a guarantee from him, and didn't hesitate, meeting her gaze: "You are my friends, and I am little Ben's godfather, so don't worry, the sky won't fall."
Felicia got her answer and smiled slightly.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Hawk said this, and then the three of them didn't disturb Peter, who was still video chatting with Hank Pym, but sat down on some chairs not far away.
Peter over there also saw the three of them.
But...
The discussion was in full swing, so after Peter greeted them, he continued to focus entirely on his discussion with Hank Pym.
After a while.
The video call, which had lasted all morning, ended.
The next second.
Peter dashed in front of Hawk like a gust of wind and hugged him: "Oh my god, man, you're back! When? This is impossible, I didn't receive any message from you."
Hawk hugged Peter back: "I took a shortcut back."
It was a pity that the method of returning from Kamar-Taj could only be used once.
After all, this time was an exception. It was less that Kamar-Taj compromised to let him come back, and more that the 616 universe itself, in order to get rid of him as quickly as possible, didn't know what it had promised the Vishanti to get them to open the portal.
But this method was one-time only.
After Hawk and Peter broke the hug, he got down to business: "My daughter Jean was also taken away by the Celestials."
Peter nodded: "I know. I've been discussing with Dr. Hank Pym these past few days which Celestial went to which multiverse."
Hawk was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
Hearing Wanda, standing to the side, realized: "Peter, you found Jean?"
Peter shook his head, opened his mouth, and then signaled for Hawk and Hearing Wanda to follow him to the console. After tapping his fingers on the keyboard a few times, an energy map was quickly projected.
Hawk and Hearing Wanda looked at the projected energy map, then looked at Peter in unison.
Once again.
He studied law.
The law of legal systems.
If Gwen were by his side, he could pretend to know nothing, because Gwen would explain it to him.
But Gwen was in the 828 universe now, and Hearing Wanda also studied law—though it was the law of magic. Regarding science, both of them were completely clueless.
Absolutely clueless.
However, Peter didn't try to be mysterious and explained the meaning of this energy map to them.
In a nutshell.
This was tracked by Peter and Dr. Hank Pym after that Celestial left, by using the residual energy of the Celestial combined with quantum algorithms.
In short.
"We have already captured the energy fluctuations of this Celestial's departure in the universe, and then located these fluctuations in the quantum realm. If we can find a way to enter that multiverse, then we can find this Celestial, and once we know this Celestial, we will know where he took Jean."
"..."
Hawk listened to Peter's explanation and subconsciously looked at Hearing Wanda.
The two looked at each other.
Hearing Wanda opened her mouth and looked at Peter: "Peter, isn't this for tracking Jean?"
Peter shook his head: "What's wrong?"
Hearing Wanda pursed her lips.
Hawk, however, smiled slightly and patted Peter on the shoulder: "That Celestial has already been chopped up by me."
Peter looked at Hawk in shock.
Hawk then told Peter about how, in the process of this Celestial abducting his daughter Jean, Jean had directly used the Phoenix Force to teleport, and then disappeared into some unknown multiverse.
"However..."
"Thanks, buddy."
"I have already spread my thoughts into all the multiverses where Kamar-Taj exists; once time has fermented, I will also know where my daughter Jean has gone, so, build me three quantum shuttle suits..."
Hawk did not veto Peter's good intentions, but instead thanked Peter very earnestly, and then explained the purpose of his visit here.
As a result...
Listening to Hawk talk about how Jean had escaped during the kidnapping, Peter seemed to think of something: "Wait, you're saying Jean broke free on her own?"
Hawk nodded.
Peter's eyes lit up; he turned back around, tapped on the keyboard, and then pulled up a projection of energy diffusion.
"This is your energy, right?"
