A single Phoenix Beam, and even Stark's ashes wouldn't remain.
A single Phoenix Wing Flight, not only Stark, but even the current Avengers, except for Thor, would probably be wiped out.
Wait a minute.
Captain America Steve Rogers has a fifty percent chance of surviving.
As everyone knows.
Captain America is always fifty-fifty.
In short.
The question is only whether he wants to kill, not whether he can kill.
Pietro's words continued.
"I'm willing to risk my life to become stronger."
"My sister is the same, and it's not just my sister accepting this experiment; there are more than a dozen other women."
"...Wait!"
Hawk reacted, his brow twitching as he looked at Pietro.
"How many, did you say how many?"
"More than a dozen."
"Hiss!"
Hawk sucked in a cold breath.
"You mean, I still have..."
"No."
Pietro seemed to know what Hawk wanted to say and shook his head, "Only my sister succeeded, the other experimenters didn't even have a pregnancy reaction."
Hearing this, Hawk subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully it didn't succeed.
If Hydra really used his blood to concoct a football team, never mind if he wouldn't go crazy, Gwen definitely would.
Why did he sell blood at that time?
But still...
Hawk's thoughts were turning as he looked at Pietro, "Only your sister succeeded?"
Pietro nodded, "Yes, but what Stryker said, I don't really understand. Overall, he said that only a strong enough woman's womb can nurture the bloodline of the powerful."
Hawk tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"You seem to trust Stryker a lot."
"He helped me and my sister in our toughest times. You probably don't understand, I don't think you've ever suffered..."
"My sister is dead."
"Gah!"
Pietro opened his mouth, looking at the composed Hawk who interrupted him, and withdrew his words, "Sorry, I didn't know."
Hawk's expression was calm, "No need, I've already wrestled my sister's soul back from Hell."
Pietro was taken aback again, listening to Hawk's words and seeing his expression, he couldn't quite tell if Hawk was serious or joking.
But there was one thing he was sure of.
Pietro came back to himself, looking at Jean cradled in Hawk's arms, "I must take Jean back, otherwise Stryker won't let my sister, Billy, and Tommy off the hook."
Hawk chuckled.
The next second.
He seemed to hear two familiar names, looking at Pietro, frowning slightly. Although he already had an answer in his heart, he still asked to confirm.
"Who are Billy and Tommy?"
"Jean's two twin brothers, oh right, also your bloodline."
"...Hiss!"
One daughter older, two sons younger.
Isn't this Gwen's dream?
So what.
Wanda is realizing Gwen's dream?
Hawk's thoughts were churning, brow furrowed, looking at Pietro.
Pietro looked at Hawk and explained the whole story.
"Wanda and I voluntarily participated in Stryker's superpower experiment."
"But Stryker took a fancy to Wanda, hoping she would join the other experiment women in an artificial gamete plan. If Wanda agreed, I'd be prioritized to receive a safe superpower awakening plan as a reward."
"Wanda agreed."
"Twenty-five women participated in the experiment, but only Wanda had any reaction."
"Ten months later, Jean was born."
"At first, Jean looked no different from an ordinary baby, but the mutation happened when a woman in a tight suit tried to snatch Jean from my sister's hands."
"Jean seemed to awaken some powerful ability."
"In Stryker's words, she seems to have inherited your powers."
"So Stryker hoped my sister would do it again."
"But we voluntarily joined the experiment, and my sister also awakened magic power after giving birth to Jean, so she refused."
"But Stryker offered a condition we couldn't refuse."
"He could help lure Tony Stark for us, so we could take revenge ourselves."
"So..."
"My sister agreed."
"Last May, she gave birth to a pair of twins."
"Billy and Tommy."
"But, Billy and Tommy haven't shown anything different."
Listening to Pietro's tale, Hawk's face didn't change at all.
But inside...
He knew why Billy and Tommy didn't have powers like Jean.
The reason was simple.
After returning from London City, Hawk proposed to Gwen, and the proposal oath went like this.
"Everything of mine shall belong only to you."
"I will share everything with you, without reservations."
"Past."
"Present."
"Future!"
"And our descendants will inherit everything we have."
That's how Hawk proposed.
It sounded very plain.
He did exactly that.
As everyone knows.
When gods speak solemnly each time, it's not called speaking; it's called an oracle.
Hawk possesses the Phoenix Divine Authority.
Thus, his marriage promise to Gwen is not an empty promise; at least, his Phoenix Cosmos does not think so.
Simply put.
The offspring he and Gwen would conceive are qualified, and only the offspring they conceive can inherit his surname, power, and energy.
So...
Pietro mentioned Billy and Tommy, who didn't inherit his energy, which is the most normal.
If they did, that would be strange.
But Jean is different.
When Jean was born, he hadn't proposed to Gwen yet, so from a certain perspective, the three-and-a-half-year-old Jean with soft red hair in his arms glitched the system.
Hawk pondered, glanced at Jean, who was clutching his clothes with a small hand, then looked at Pietro.
"Where is Stryker?"
"I don't know."
"Heh."
Hawk laughed at Pietro's answer.
"You don't know?"
"I really don't know."
Pietro shook his head, taking out a satellite phone from his pocket: "When I woke up, I was in Paris, and then Stryker called, telling me I had to find Jean, or else he'd kill Billy and Tommy, and even my sister."
Hawk's gaze fell on the satellite phone in Pietro's hand.
"And then?"
"Return to Paris, he said he would know, would tell us how to return."
"Paris..."
Hawk chuckled: "Return to Paris, and you ran to Texas?"
Pietro shrugged: "You were chasing me from behind; I certainly wouldn't dare run to Paris. What if Stryker killed my sister?"
Upon hearing this, Hawk glanced at Pietro.
"You know what Stryker is up to, right?"
"I know now."
Pietro met Hawk's gaze: "Stryker plans to use Jean, Billy, and Tommy to threaten you."
Hawk nodded.
"Yes, since you know, do you think you can still take Jean back?"
"Yes."
"... Reason."
"If you leave Jean, my sister, Billy, and Tommy will be in danger; I must take Jean back."
"That's your reason, not mine."
"It's also yours."
Pietro took a deep breath, looking at Hawk: "If you care for Jean, that means you care for bloodlines, so Billy and Tommy with Stryker are even more dangerous. Therefore, you must let Jean go back with me."
Listening to Pietro's reasoning, Hawk looked at the tense Pietro and smiled.
"You're different from the impression I had."
"... You've seen me?"
"Sort of."
Hawk replied.
In Marvel, Quicksilver appeared briefly, with hardly any lines, and his death was so abrupt.
Can you believe it, a man faster than sound can get hit by a bullet and die.
So, Marvel's Quicksilver had little screen time, whereas the X-Men version had more.
But it was too gaudy.
Hawk didn't like it much; the one in front of him fit the Marvel version better, more in line with his sense of aesthetics.
So...
Hawk smiled slightly.
"I have a better plan."
"What?"
Pietro frowned at Hawk's smile: "You plan to follow me, but you can't; if Stryker finds out..."
Hawk shook his head.
"No, I don't plan to follow you because you can't go back either."
"Wha..."
"Bang!"
Pietro's expression changed intuitively, but before he could react, he rolled his eyes and elegantly fell to the ground.
Hawk chuckled, holding Jean with one hand and lifting the unconscious Pietro with the other. The moment he looked up, he soared to the sky, then with a booming sound, sped towards New York City at the speed of light.
Are you kidding.
If he let Pietro and Jean go back, that would show he truly cared.
The most crucial point.
The ancestors have said, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Since they're here, wanting to leave, how is that possible.
If Stryker dares to kill Wanda, then after Wanda's soul goes to the Netherworld, he wouldn't even have to search, he could directly locate Stryker.
Then...
Heh heh.
Just you wait, Stryker!
New York S.H.I.E.L.D.
When Sharon brought Gwen back from the hall to the office, she saw that Hawk had already brought back the red-haired girl, and there was a man with a beard, wearing a silver uniform, lying on the ground.
"Is this the one who just invaded?"
"Yes, Pietro, alias Quicksilver."
Hawk nodded.
Sharon glanced at Pietro a few more times, then looked back at Hawk.
But just as she was about to speak, Tony Stark's voice came through the earpiece.
Hearing this, Sharon looked up at Hawk.
"Tony and the others have found something."
"..."
