Chapter 987: The Origins of the X-Men's Hearing Wanda and Quicksilver (Second Update!!)
As soon as Quicksilver Pietro said this, he attracted everyone's attention.
Hearing Wanda and her daughter Jean also subconsciously looked toward Pietro, who was being supported by Beast.
Hawk also looked at Quicksilver.
He had noticed this universe's Quicksilver Pietro from the very beginning.
But...
Compared to this Pietro, whose attire was a bit too hip-hop, Hawk still preferred the Quicksilver Pietro from his own universe, who sported light stubble and looked mature and a bit melancholic at first glance.
Perhaps, maybe it had to do with the fact that both were older brothers who had been struggling to survive while taking care of their younger sisters since they were small.
Pietro here?
His family life was perfect, and most importantly, the Hearing Wanda here was his older sister, not his younger sister.
Hearing Wanda frowned as she looked at Pietro, who seemed a bit excited after hearing her name.
Her attention had been focused on her daughter just now, so she hadn't paid much notice to the other mutants.
Right now.
When Hearing Wanda saw Pietro being supported by Beast, a scene she had seen in Hawk's mind earlier instantly flashed through her own.
This is...
Just as Hearing Wanda subconsciously frowned, her daughter Jean at her side gave a playful wink and began to introduce them.
"Mom, let me introduce you. This is Pietro, the Quicksilver of this universe. He has an older sister who also seems to be named Hearing Wanda."
"Quicksilver, let me introduce you. This is my mom, Hearing Wanda Maximoff. My mom has an older brother named Pietro."
"..."
"Hiss!"
Quicksilver subconsciously gasped.
Hearing Wanda remained silent, casting her gaze toward Hawk, who hadn't spoken.
Hawk nodded after seeing the look Hearing Wanda sent his way.
Seeing this, Hearing Wanda arched her willow-leaf eyebrows, then fixed her gaze on the gasping Quicksilver, the corners of her mouth gradually curling into a very beautiful arc.
"Call me big sister!"
"..."
This time it was Hawk's turn to be silent.
Sure enough.
Every younger sister has a dream of being an older sister.
Hearing Anya from the 616 universe is like that.
The Hearing Wanda right here is the same.
Hawk thought to himself, then shook his head and looked at Hearing Wanda: "You guys chat, I'm going inside to take a look."
Hearing Wanda nodded and continued to watch Quicksilver.
Her daughter Jean heard this and looked at Hawk: "Daddy, I'll go with you."
Hawk opened his mouth, initially wanting to refuse, but as the words reached his lips, he saw the expectant look in his daughter Jean's eyes and couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, follow along."
"Okay."
Daughter Jean beamed, said a word to her mother Hearing Wanda, then quickly caught up to Hawk, who was already walking toward the end of the corridor, and very naturally took Hawk's arm.
"Daddy."
"Hmm."
"I missed you so much."
"I missed you too."
Hawk and his daughter Jean chatted as they walked inside, and after turning a corner, he asked curiously: "I see this Quicksilver doesn't seem to know your identity."
Daughter Jean nodded.
"Yes."
"Didn't you tell him? You know, this Earth has your mother too."
"But she isn't my mother, is she?"
Daughter Jean looked sideways at Hawk: "Besides... I'm worried that the bad guy who tried to kidnap and threaten me might have followed me here, so other than Professor X and Raven, who might know my origins, no one else knows. And I really can't connect this Quicksilver with the Uncle Pietro in my memories."
The difference was just too great.
One was the Uncle Pietro in her memories, with melancholic eyes and light stubble, but mature and steady in his actions.
The other was a mutant Quicksilver who, in his attire and every other aspect, leaned heavily toward street hip-hop style.
Listening to his daughter Jean's complaints, Hawk subconsciously compared the two versions of Quicksilver in his mind again, then nodded in deep agreement.
"That's true, though your mother doesn't seem to mind."
"My mother just wants to be the big sister."
Daughter Jean curled her lips: "Back in Westview, Mom always considered herself the big sister, but after Grandpa and Grandma returned, the fact that Mom is the younger sister was set in stone."
Hearing this, Hawk laughed out loud.
Soon.
While talking with his daughter Jean, he passed through the corridor and arrived inside the dam base that his daughter Jean and the others had just escaped from.
At this moment, only a group of researchers remained inside the dam base.
After hearing the screams outside gradually fade away, these researchers had locked the door to the control room built on a platform in mid-air and were huddled together inside.
The moment Hawk pushed the door open and entered, a trembling researcher subconsciously pulled the trigger of the pistol in his hand.
The bullet left the chamber, struck Hawk's body, and instantly turned into dust.
Hawk lowered his eyes to glance at it, then his gaze fell on the face of the researcher who was holding the pistol, wearing glasses, and showing fear.
"You're so brave; it seems you're the boss here, then?"
"I..."
"Boom!"
Hawk moved instantly, and the moment he grabbed the researcher's neck with his bare hand, the remaining researchers in white coats who were huddled behind him turned into blood mist in response.
This scene caused the researcher whose neck was being gripped to have his pupils instantly dilate before he fainted.
