"Really?"
"It succeeded?"
Hawke was amazed after ending his call with Dr. Connors.
He had initially thought that with only Spider-Women and no Super Spider-Man in this world, Dr. Connors' regeneration experiment was unlikely to succeed.
But Hawke got up and left the bedroom, thinking about his conversation with Dr. Connors.
Dr. Connors was in a good mood and had shared some details with Hawke.
For example, in the recent mouse experiment, he had initially thought it would fail like the previous ones.
But an unexpected event occurred.
One mouse, after being injected with lizard serum, initially showed no vital signs, but after a while, those signs reappeared.
Furthermore, the mouse's severed tail, which had been cut off during its escape last month, visibly regrowed after the vital signs returned.
This discovery greatly excited Dr. Connors.
Hawke, however, found it incredible.
But it was only a fleeting moment of wonder.
Hawke left his bedroom, sat down at his folding table, and opened the computer he'd bought for $500 from Skye—a computer originally intended for a beautiful woman—before putting the matter out of his mind.
More concerned than whether Dr. Connors' experiment was successful, he was more interested in the situation at Quantico base.
Soon, after searching online, Hawke's expression turned strange again.
No intrusion.
Just an exercise.
It was a Washington D.C. newspaper reporting an intrusion alarm at Quantico military base.
However, the base's spokesperson denied the intrusion, stating it was just a routine exercise that night, but unexpectedly, a building collapsed during the exercise, resulting in the deaths of over a dozen soldiers.
Hmm.
Quantico attributed everything to an exercise.
That's understandable.
As the saying goes.
That was Quantico, the location of the Marine Corps, next to the FBI's Federal Police Academy, and next to the CIA's Langley headquarters. Under these circumstances, the military base would certainly not admit to being intruded upon.
As for the rest…
Hawke searched around but found no useful clues.
Even regarding the young Black man's body, he couldn't find any related keywords in any relevant reports.
Either the young Black man's body hadn't been found yet,or his death simply wasn't worth the media's attention.
After all, every year—no, every day—many Black people die for various reasons; it's normal for a Black man without any identity to die without even a ripple.
Hawke thought for a moment, shook his head, closed his laptop, got up, and went into the bedroom to sleep.
The next day
Hawke was woken up by a phone call.
Lying in bed, Hawke opened his eyes and saw a photo frame in front of him before reaching out to grab his phone, which was charging on the bedside table.
"Hello."
"Come downstairs."
"…"
Hawke froze for less than a second, then got out of bed, put on his T-shirt, walked to the living room window, opened it, and saw Gwen standing across the street, waving at him from beside the yellow Corolla.
Oh.
No.
It should be his girlfriend, Gwen.
He still felt a little incredulous.
Let me say it again.
Gwen Stacy is my girlfriend.
Hawke thought to himself, smiled and waved to Gwen standing downstairs, then hung up the phone and walked towards the door.

A moment later,Hawke appeared at the apartment building entrance, crossed the street, and stood before Gwen.
"What's up?"
"Are you free tonight? My mom invited you over for dinner."
"Uh..."
Lemon sea bass!
That was the first thing that flashed through Hawke's mind when Gwen invited him to her house for dinner.
After all, this dish was, in a sense, quite famous.
Hawke's thoughts raced, and looking at Gwen's expectant gaze, he thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay."
"Then it's settled. What are you planning to do later?"
"Um, go to the library to study."
"..."
After saying this, Hawke looked at Gwen, who remained silent but smiled at him, and chuckled softly, "I really am going to the library to study this time."
After all, school starts tomorrow.
Twelfth grade, the final year of high school, and if nothing unexpected happens, NYU will be sending someone this semester for the final evaluation and scholarship confirmation.
Although he said he didn't even care about getting into NYU.
But if he could, he still wanted to go. After all, studying law at NYU and then trying to become a prosecutor or even a judge was his dream before he awakened his inner universe.
And for the past three years, he had been working hard towards that goal.
Gwen looked at Hawke seriously, then a bright smile bloomed on her face.
"Let's go."
"Where to?"
"Aren't we going to the library? I'm going to the library too. Perfect timing, you can come home with me after you finish reading, but you have to come with me to Osborn Bio-Industry first."
"Get in."
Hawke looked at Gwen, who was walking to the driver's side and opening the door to invite him in, and without hesitation, he opened the passenger door and got in.
Just as he had said.
He really planned to go to the library to study today.
Work and rest, after all.
In his inner universe, the Phoenix Star Chart manifested as a phoenix, with the colorful Gamma Enni absorbed from the Quantico base moving brilliantly within it.
The Phoenix constellation was still fully refining Gamma Enni at this moment.
All day long, Hawke and Gwen left Osborn BioIndustry and went to the library, where they quietly read.
He wanted to go to New York University.
Gwen wanted to go to Berkeley.
Yes.
Both were working hard for their future.
In the afternoon,before leaving, Hawke registered the books he hadn't finished reading.
When he came out of the library, Gwen was already waiting in the car.
The man who had just rushed in to borrow books and came out saw a parking ticket stuck to his windshield wiper and screamed in despair.
Hawke, seeing this, got into the car and asked curiously, "Didn't you get a ticket?"
Gwen shook her head and smiled, saying, "Dad registered my license plate in the police system."
Hawke suddenly understood.
