Palm Street No. 521A.
In the living room.
Anya was sitting on the sofa, leaning forward, her eyes unblinking as she watched Hawk sitting next to her.
Hawk smiled at Anya while narrating events from another universe.
He spoke in great detail.
Just as Anya had just said, ti was the least of their concerns now.
Since five years ago, when Thanos snapped his fingers, causing the Annihilation, Earth’s developnt seed to co to a standstill. Even now, Earth hasn’t recovered from the Annihilation.
If not for the surviving mbers of The Avengers holding things together, the whole world might have already turned into chaos.
But it’s almost like that already.
Except for the countries with the Five Great Dominators, most nations are in turmoil.
Even in the Federation, let’s just say, if soone gets killed in broad daylight, as long as you’re not caught on the spot, there’s a high chance no one will investigate you.
Earth seems to have fallen into a haze.
Apart from a small portion still struggling to hold on, most people have fallen into a state of just getting by.
Even Iron Man, Tony Stark, has already retired, putting away his sword and shield.
So...
Compared to before the Annihilation, when ti was considered the most precious thing, now, ti is the least valuable.
Hawk narrated the story of his own universe in detail.
Anya listened quietly.
Upon hearing that she had unfortunately died in the 2008 battle between Hulk and Abomination, she frowned slightly.
When she heard that Hawk had stord into Hell and snatched back her soul from the Lord of Dinsions, phisto, her eyes shimred.
Then, on hearing that Hawk discovered the truth about their parents’ abandonnt and reunited with them in another universe, she pursed her lips.
Ti ticked by.
When Hawk finished speaking, Anya stared intently at him, a hint of invisible sadness flickering in her eyes.
"So, you’re not my brother, are you?"
"No."
Hawk smiled warmly at Anya, "I am your brother, no matter which universe, you are always my sister, Anya Phoenix."
Anya pressed her lips together, watching Hawk.
"But you’re not my universe’s brother."
"Heh."
Hawk shook his head with a laugh, then extended his right hand toward Anya.
Anya looked at the hand extended toward her and then at Hawk’s eyes. After a mont of silence, she placed her palm in his.
The next mont.
Bang!
Above the Ti Galaxy.
"Holy crab!"
Anya felt a blur and then saw the galaxy-like surroundings, exclaiming as she glanced at the flickering segnts in the Ti Galaxy.
There were fragnts of the past from Hawk’s universe, as well as the past of Hawk from this 616 universe.
Two distinct pasts played out indistinguishably within the sa Ti Galaxy, finally converging beneath the feet of her and Hawk.
"The universe I am from is ."
"The universe you are in is also ."
"You can think of it as different flowers blooming on a single tree."
"So..."
"This Anya Phoenix is my sister."
Hawk swept his right hand over, revealing the likeness of his sister, Anya, from his universe.
The next second.
Hawk waved his right hand again, and the Ti Galaxy revealed the likeness of his sister from the current universe.
"Similarly, this Anya Phoenix is also my sister."
"No difference."
"Wait."
Hawk seed to think of sothing, looking at Anya standing beside him, watching the Ti Galaxy intently, he laughed, "There is a difference, you look older than the other Anya Phoenix, less baby fat."
Anya’s body gave a slight jolt, looking at Hawk.
"Baby fat is sothing you use to describe kids. I’ve grown up; I’m five years older than you now, so you’re no longer my brother, but my younger brother."
"Ha-ha."
Hawk burst out in laughter, looking at Anya staring unblinkingly at him, and then opened his arms to her, "So, do you now believe I’m your brother?"
Four eyes t.
Anya nodded, then moved closer to Hawk, falling into his embrace, "Yes, brother!"
The surrounding scene shifted, returning to the living room.
Hawk and his sister, Anya, embraced.
They were silent.
Ti seed peaceful.
At this mont.
Anya suddenly moved, quickly looking up from Hawk’s embrace, seemingly thinking of sothing, she looked at him and said, "Wait a minute, you said my sister-in-law was Gwen, shouldn’t it be Wanda?"
With his eyes closed, enjoying the warmth of sibling reunion, Hawk’s eyes snapped open, eting Anya’s gaze that seed to catch onto sothing, his mouth twitched, "That’s another difference."
In his own universe, Hawk had never thought of dealing with Hydra.
At least, he had never actively sought out Hydra.
But that was also because in his universe, when his sister needed surgery at the age of ten, he got help from a local community faith council mber as a mber of the church choir.
But in this universe, he didn’t get help, so he chose Hydra.
This is what’s called a variable!
Similarly.
Wanda here is also another variable.
As for why this variable occurred...
God knows.
As for how to handle this variable...
Once again.
God knows!
So...
Hawk, under the familiar, seemingly puzzled yet slightly excited gaze of his sister Anya, which was akin to seeing his universe’s Wanda having three children, rubbed his temples: "We’ll deal with future matters in the future."
After saying that.
Hawk turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Anya stood in place, watching her brother’s back, couldn’t help but blink, then stepped forward to catch up, hugging Hawk’s arm.
"When is the future?"
"Trust the wisdom of the future generations."
"What?"
"Future matters will be the headache of future Hawk, it’s got nothing to do with present Hawk."
As Hawk was speaking, he opened the fridge to see if there’s anything to eat.
Unsure if it’s due to traveling through the Multiverse, he actually felt a bit hungry at the mont.
Hawk looked at a piece of pizza inside the fridge and took it out, looking at Anya.
"Can this sandwich still be eaten?"
"Whose sandwich is this, I’m starving."
Similarly, Hawk wasn’t the only one feeling hungry.
Driving away from his daughter Cassie’s place, Ant-Man Scott also grabbed the sandwich preparation Black Widow Natasha had made for his dinner, took a hearty bite, and filled the erging hunger.
In the office building, Captain Arica Steve Rogers listened to Scott talk about quantum physics while holding his arms, watching Scott devour the sandwich: "Scott, what exactly do you want to say?"
Scott struggled to swallow the sandwich in his mouth while looking at Captain Arica and Black Widow watching him.
"What I wanted to say is, the Quantum Realm is not only a channel connecting the Multiverse, but ti also exhibits different manifestations within the Quantum Realm."
"If Hawk can travel through the Quantum Realm to our universe."
"Then theoretically, we can also return to the past through the Quantum Realm, the only problem is we cannot pinpoint the direction, but what if we could."
"What if we can enter the Quantum Realm at this point in ti and then exit the Quantum Realm from so point in ti?"
"..."
Captain Arica Steve frowned, extending his right hand: "Wait a minute, are we talking about a ti machine?"
Beside him, Natasha captured the keyword that flashed through Scott’s speech just now, released her hands, and looked at Scott: "Wait, Scott, who did you just say, Hawk?"
Scott glanced at Captain Arica then looked at Natasha: "Yes, Hawk, I saw Hawk in the Quantum Realm, but it’s not Hawk from our universe, rather it’s Hawk from another universe. He ca back here with . No wait, I ca back, he ca to us."
Captain Arica listened to Scott’s slightly incoherent answer and frowned even more.
"Scott, you’ve confused , what Hawk, also, were we discussing a ti machine just now?"
"..."
"Friday."
Natasha instinctively turned her head and called out the intelligent system Friday: "Retrieve the monitoring data along Scott Lang’s route today."
Compared to Jarvis’s male, steady voice, Friday’s voice is more feminine and graceful.
After Friday said ’please hold on.’
In an instant.
The surveillance footage of Queens District Annihilation morial Park was projected.
In sight.
Standing at 1.85 ters, a strong physique, short blonde hair, hands in pockets, a resilient face, and a calm gaze, Hawk suddenly appeared in the view of several people.
Natasha instinctively covered her mouth.
"Hawk?"
"What?"
Captain Arica Steve’s eyes also fell on the projected Hawk figure, sowhat disbelieving: "That’s impossible, Thanos killed Hawk and took his Mind Gemstone."
Don’t ask him why he’s so sure.
Just ask that he was there when Hawk died.
Captain Arica watched as Thanos detached Hawk’s Mind Gemstone from his forehead.
But now?
Natasha turned her head to look at Scott: "Did you say this Hawk ca from the Multiverse?"
Scott nodded: "Yes."
Captain Arica looked at Natasha’s expression.
"Natasha, did sothing co to mind?"
"Hmm."
Natasha nodded and then looked at Captain Arica: "Do you recall, when Bruce Banner ca back, he talked about the sensation of visiting a Multiverse?"
Captain Arica frowned.
"Didn’t Dr. Bruce Banner say he was dreaming?"
"What if he wasn’t dreaming?"
"..."
