Hawk had never thought of hiding anything from Gwen.
At the very least, ever since he and Gwen confirmed their relationship, he had never hidden his strength or anything else.
Lovers should have no secrets.
This was his own belief, and at the same time, it was a lesson learned from the many male and female protagonists in his previous life's movies who created misunderstandings by hiding things, leading to irreversible consequences.
Just as he had just said.
If you ask, I'll tell.
So...
Hawk spoke.
"Killing!"
"..."
Gwen listened to Hawk's answer, and the smile on her face involuntarily froze.
See, I told you, and you don't seem happy.
Hawk smiled inwardly as he watched the frozen expression on Gwen's face.
However, he was not disappointed or disheartened.
Gwen was, after all, beautiful and kind-hearted.
After all, if Gwen had heard him talk about killing and, instead of being shocked, had shown a happy expression, then it would have been his turn to worry.
Hawk thought to himself.
Just then.
Gwen also seemed to have recovered from her shock.
Her reaction was also two words.
"Kill who?"
"Hulk."
"Bruce Banner is back in New York City?"
"No."
"Then..."
"I received intelligence that he will spend the Christmas holiday in New Jersey."
Hawk revealed everything to Gwen without concealment.
Gwen, hearing this, first paused, then looked at Hawk, seemingly realizing something: "So these past few weekends, you went to New Jersey for..."
Hawk smiled slightly: "To scout the terrain and prepare for battle."
Success comes from preparation, failure from lack of it. Before a battle, it's good to scout the surrounding terrain and mentally rehearse the battle scene.
He had already planned several contingency scenarios in his mind for where Hulk might run if he tried to escape.
In short.
This Christmas holiday, Hulk must die.
His sister, Anya, was waiting in hell for him to avenge her; this day had been long awaited.
After killing Hulk, the Abomination would be next.
Hawk was not in a hurry regarding the Abomination, because the Abomination couldn't escape. Since that night's great battle, the Abomination had been imprisoned and controlled by the Military; even if he wanted to run, he couldn't.
He even knew where the Abomination was.
He was inside the Quantico Military Base. The reason he didn't go that day was because things had to be done one by one.
First kill Hulk, then kill the Abomination!
Hawk thought to himself.
The next second.
"I'm coming with you."
"..."
Hawk snapped back to reality and subconsciously looked at Gwen.
He seemed to have heard something, but he wasn't quite sure.
"What?"
"I said, I'm coming with you."
Gwen looked at Hawk with firm eyes, her tone equally firm and unyielding: "I'm coming with you."
Hawk immediately chuckled.
He shook his head, feeling somewhat absurd.
"Gwen, I'm going to kill someone."
"I know, I'm coming with you."
"..."
Hawk looked at Gwen, who was staring intently at him, opened his mouth, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Don't be silly."
"I'm serious, I'm coming with you."
"Why?"
"If you go to hell, I'll go with you."
"..."
Hawk fell silent after hearing that sentence.
He looked at Gwen.
Gwen was also looking at him.
Their eyes met.
After a while.
Hawk chuckled and said to Gwen: "Are you worried I'll die?"
Gwen shook her head, her eyes fixed on Hawk: "I don't know, but I know I won't just wait foolishly in New York City."
This...
Was very Gwen.
Hawk was silent for a moment, then continued to shake his head.
"No."
"I'm not discussing this with you, Hawk. You know, if I want to find you, I will definitely find you."
Gwen said, looking at Hawk with a calm tone: "If you win, we'll come back together. If you die, I'll go to hell with you."
Gwen, reaching this point, seemed to think of something, chuckled, and smiled at Hawk: "Anyway, from the moment I ran off to Maryland alone and found you deep in the waterfall, I think we were destined to go to hell together, weren't we?"
Go to hell together?
Hawk looked at Gwen, who spoke of going to hell as calmly as drinking plain Water, and couldn't help but chuckle: "You think hell is a place you can just go to whenever you want? I still haven't found the entrance to hell..."
Gwen thought Hawk was changing the subject, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"Hawk, I'm serious."
"I am too."
Hawk looked at Gwen, whose brows were furrowed and whose pretty face was serious, sighed, then stood up from the bed, walked to Gwen's front, and looked down at Gwen, who was sitting in the study chair and meeting his gaze.
The next second.
He took a deep breath.
Their eyes met.
Hawk smiled as he looked at his girlfriend, who was saying she would go to hell with him, and nodded: "Okay, we'll go to hell together."
Gwen, sitting in the study chair, heard Hawk's answer, stood up and hugged Hawk. Her tense, pretty face also broke into a brilliant smile, and then she embraced Hawk, their eyes meeting.
"Okay, then remember to hold my hand, I'm afraid I'll get lost."
"Don't worry, I won't let go of you."
"You promise, promise on Anya's name."
"..."
Hawk heard Gwen's words, and the strange emotions that had just permeated him instantly collapsed. He looked at Gwen with a hint of a smile: "You really know how to get to me."
Gwen shrugged with a smile on her lips, her arms around Hawk's waist, looking up at Hawk, who was a bit taller than her, and said with a smile: "Apparently, Mr. Hawk, I do know how to get to you, don't I?"
Hawk looked at Gwen, whose lips were curved upwards, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Yes, you really do know how to get to me."
"Then swear, Mr. Hawk."
"Do I really have to?"
"Of course."
Gwen smiled at Hawk: "Don't think I haven't watched movies. Right now you're agreeing nicely, but who knows, you might knock me out later."
Indeed.
You can't find a high-IQ girlfriend.
Hawk looked at his girlfriend, who was watching him with a smile in her eyes, sighed again, and then looked at Gwen seriously.
"Shall we go to hell together?"
"To hell together!"
"Alright."
Hawk took a deep breath, then, under Gwen's gaze, swore an oath in the name of his sister, Anya. Afterward, he shook his head and looked down at Gwen.
"Are you satisfied now?"
"Almost, if you agree to one more request."
"What?"
Gwen's smile faded, and she looked at Hawk very seriously.
"I know you don't want to be a good person who helps others, and I don't ask you to be a good person, but Hawk, please don't be a bad person. Try to be a kind person."
"Try to be a kind person who is always clear of conscience."
"Can you?"
"..."
