Yes.
Quicksilver Pietro didn't actually drink that bottle of happy water back then.
After all, with his speed, secretly pouring out the bottle of happy water and then pretending to pass out after "drinking" it wasn't a difficult task for him.
It was actually a piece of cake.
And Pietro didn't just not drink the happy water and bring back the Andromeda necklace.
He brought back something else too.
Under the watchful eyes of his sister Wanda, Pietro pulled out something from his pocket that looked about the size of a wireless earbuds case.
Wanda was slightly taken aback.
"This is..."
"A GPS tracker."
Pietro smiled slightly and said to Wanda as he turned it on, "With this, we'll know exactly where the hell we are."
Wanda said nothing, only moved closer to Pietro, and they both looked at the GPS tracker's display.
In view.
"Hiss!"
"This is..."
"The Romansh Trench?"
Wanda and Pietro drew in a sharp breath as they looked at the location displayed on the GPS tracker.
Ten minutes later.
Jean, who was upstairs teasing her two younger brothers, turned her head and looked at her uncle Pietro who was asking if she could go out again. She thought for a moment and shook her head.
"No."
"No way?"
Pietro frowned, "Then how did you get out last time?"
Jean, holding onto a crawling Billy, said, "I wanted to find Daddy. I felt like I could go, so I went."
Leaning against the door frame, Wanda spoke, "Jean, do you still feel like you can go now?"
Jean glanced at her mother, lowered her head as if pondering something, then shook her head.
"No."
"Too tired."
"..."
Pietro listened to this and seemed to think of something as he said to Wanda, "When I got here, Jean would fall asleep in her daddy's arms."
Wanda furrowed her brows.
Jean said, "That's because I was really tired, but after sleeping in Daddy's arms twice, I'm not that tired anymore."
Pietro smiled at Jean, then pulled Wanda and stepped out of the room behind them.
He looked at the GPS tracker in his hand and shook his head.
"I was thinking, if Jean could get out, she could take this to that person."
"I suppose last time Jean went out, she used up all her energy."
Wanda explained, "I activated an illusion covering the whole room, but it can only last for half an hour at most. After half an hour, it won't work. Jean is only three years old, she probably used up all her energy last time to get out, but even if Jean could take this out, it wouldn't help."
Pietro was puzzled and looked at Wanda.
Wanda shook her head.
"Brother, we're seven thousand leagues underwater, deep in the Romansh Trench, the third deepest trench in the Atlantic Ocean. Even if that person is incredible, knowing where we are, they probably still can't reach us."
"...True."
Pietro thought over Wanda's words, nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized something and looked at Wanda: "Wait, how did you know this is the third deepest trench?"
Wanda shrugged, "When I was pregnant, I often watched geography documentaries."
Pietro's expression became clear as he heard this, then he sighed.
Wanda didn't speak either.
But in the next second.
Pietro chuckled, changing the topic, and said to Wanda, "By the way, he also has a sister."
Wanda looked at Pietro.
Pietro said, "And he doesn't seem to have parents either, just living with his sister. In that sense, you and he are quite well-matched."
At first, Wanda listened to Pietro without reacting, but the more she listened, the more something felt off, so she rolled her eyes at Pietro.
The next second.
There seemed to be a crimson mist flowing between her hands, and in an instant, the reality illusion enveloping the entire room was lifted.
"Eh!"
"..."
At that moment, Hawk, sitting outside a cafe on the Paris Champs Elysees, suddenly sensed something.
His power seemingly projected into a parallel dimension just now.
The Andromeda necklace.
Hawk remembered the Andromeda necklace he had given to Gwen, but which Gwen had just sent away to protect those two children she'd never met because she feared he might destroy them.
However...
It seemed at the moment his power was projected, an equally strong force resisted his gaze.
Chaos magic?
Wanda?
Hawk's mind whirled with thoughts.
At that moment.
Lady Viper Ophelia, with her smooth, long green hair, got out of the car. Seeing Hawk, she walked over to the opposite side of him. Not wanting to disturb him as he seemed lost in thought, she pulled out a chair and sat down.
Immersed in the Little Cosmos, Hawk sensed this fleeting energy filled with endless potential.
He was almost certain it was Wanda's chaos magic.
After all...
This crimson energy was unique within the entire Marvel Cosmos.
Hawk thought to himself and then withdrew his mind from the Little Cosmos.
He didn't attempt to trace the location of this crimson energy.
Too much hassle.
The most important point.
He didn't expect that the Pleiades Necklace sent by Gwen would help locate Strucker's whereabouts.
After Hawk's mind returned, he looked up at Lady Viper, Ophelia, who was sitting quietly across from him.
"Ophelia."
"Phoenix..."
"Call me Hawk!"
Hawk looked at Ophelia across from him, smiled slightly: "I've confirmed with Anna, you're indeed her friend."
Ophelia was slightly surprised, looking at Hawk.
"Anna was found, where?"
"She died."
"..."
"But her soul returned to my Netherworld."
Hawk watched Ophelia, who was slightly surprised, crossed his arms, and leaned back in the chair: "I opened a flower shop for her at the Nether Riverfront. When your life ends, you can join her. I promise your soul won't fall into the Nether Prison, to suffer there."
Upon hearing this, Ophelia's thoughts raced and she forced a smile on her face.
"Thanks."
"No need, when that day comes, you'll know if it's true."
Hawk wasn't interested in explaining the truth of his Netherworld to Ophelia, and bringing Ophelia here wasn't just to inform her of this.
After Hydra's second uprising failed, similarly, Hydra's branch in Japan also suffered a devastating blow.
But Ophelia left Japan the moment Hawk departed.
A month ago, Sharon called and asked if he knew Ophelia.
Only then did Hawk learn that Ophelia, who fled from Japan to Paris, was still found by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Then, when they were about to capture her, Ophelia thought of the promise Hawk made to her in Japan.
So...
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents contacted Commander Victoria Hand, who then reached out to Sharon, Sharon contacted Gwen, and Gwen gave him the call.
After that, Ophelia left.
But she was still under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance.
Upon arriving in Paris, Hawk remembered Ophelia was there too, so he asked Sharon to give Ophelia a call.
"Werner von Strucker."
"Do you know where he is?"
"Who?"
Lady Viper, Ophelia, knew Hawk's call this time had a deeper purpose, but hearing Hawk mention this name, she frowned: "Strucker, he's Strucker's..."
Hawk's expression remained calm: "He is Wolfgang von Strucker's son."
Strucker wants to threaten him with his child?
Very well.
If Strucker starts the game, then Hawk won't be blamed for his response.
Hawk plans to catch Strucker, then play a game with him.
Its name is—
I dare to kill your son, do you dare to kill mine?
Threaten me.
You're dreaming.
Hawk thought to himself.
But he only knew Werner von Strucker was Strucker's son; he didn't know Werner's public name.
According to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent plot, Werner von Strucker seemed unaware of his father's involvement with Hydra.
But his ignorance was irrelevant to Hawk.
That Billy and Tommy were also unaware, yet Strucker considered them leverage against him.
Reciprocation is courtesy.
So...
Werner von Strucker should blame his dear old dad.
It's nothing to do with him.
His task is to find Werner, then wait for Strucker's call, afterward, blow up his son in front of Strucker.
Hawk is curious if Strucker dares to blow up his son.
Anyway, he has the Netherworld, at worst, those two sons he never met directly enter the Pure Land World.
Just right.
Anya is also in the Pure Land, if necessary, let his sister learn some earthly ways.
Originally, Hawk thought Ophelia knew about this.
It turns out...
He watched Ophelia's face flash with surprise upon hearing this news, realizing she seemed unaware of it too.
Indeed.
After snapping out of it, Ophelia chuckled bitterly, shook her head at Hawk: "Sorry, it's my first time hearing this news too, as I mentioned to you in Japan, the Hydra leaders are more like allies, and not very strong ones."
When the new generation Hydra leader Alexander Pierce stood publicly, the old generation of Hydra leaders could still share information.
But with the deaths of Dr. Zola and Alexander Pierce, their relationships returned to how it was after Hydra's first downfall.
Mutually blocking and ignoring, relying on their own methods, quietly waiting for destiny, waiting for the right moment.
Upon hearing this, Hawk frowned slightly, then chuckled as he prepared to leave, thinking of other methods.
Suddenly.
He raised an eyebrow, looking at the road opposite.
The next moment.
Hawk slightly squinted his eyes.
『Sixth Sense, X-ray!』
Instantly.
Hawk's gaze fell upon a young man in an apartment three blocks away, who was clutching a phone and making a call.
