"Yes."
"It's come to this, there's no other way. Let's go on our honeymoon first."
It's a well-known fact.
After the wedding comes the honeymoon. If something went wrong with the wedding, it would make Gwen furious, but if there was no honeymoon, Gwen would go crazy.
Gwen's expression was a little dazed as she listened to Hawk's words.
Hawk only said one sentence.
"It's come to this. Do you have a better idea?"
"No."
Gwen indeed shook her head. Thinking about it, he was right. Anyway, they currently had no way to move the Peter and Felicia they knew back.
So… since it's come to this, let's go on our honeymoon first.
Gwen decisively chose to end the topic, turned around, took her bag from the sofa, and walked towards the garage.
Hawk looked at this scene curiously.
"Where are you going?"
"The lab!"
Gwen opened the door to the garage and said without looking back, "I'm going to the lab first to arrange the vacation work for Fiona. You pack our clothes at home. I'll be back soon."
As Gwen spoke, she opened Hawk's audi a8. With the roar of the engine, she then headed towards Osborn… No, wait.
Gwen suddenly realized and changed the destination to Stark Industries. Then, she chose a route without traffic and sped towards the direction of the Stark Industries building.
Hawk stood still, thought for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled. He turned and walked upstairs, preparing to pack their clothes.
What about arranging work?
Gwen just wanted to go to Stark Industries immediately to see her lab and what was different from when she was at Osborn.
Hawk thought to himself.
But… alright.
He was quite curious too.
"The lab has gotten bigger."
"At Osborn, it only occupied a quarter of the floor, but now it occupies an entire floor, the sixty-sixth floor of Stark Industries."
"And the energy is independent too."
"Pepper arranged a small Arc Reactor as the energy source for our lab."
"But the personnel are still the same people."
"I asked them, and they don't have any memories related to Osborn either."
Three hours later, after arranging her lab work for her honeymoon and returning with the information she had gathered, Gwen eagerly shared the relevant information with Hawk.
Hawk listened, then nodded.
"So, this is a good thing?"
"I guess so."
Gwen thought about it. The lab had gotten bigger, the equipment had increased, the energy was infinite, allowing for more experiments, and the lab's funding had also increased, allowing for the purchase of more experimental equipment.
This was definitely a good thing for Dr. Gwen Phoenix.
But for Mrs. Phoenix, the disappearance of her friends was not a good thing.
"Hawk, promise me, when you have the ability, bring them back."
"I will."
Hawk, who had just activated the anti-theft alarm system connected to the police station in their home, turned back to look at his wife, Gwen, who was looking at him seriously. He smiled and nodded, "I promise you."
Gwen's face broke into a brilliant smile upon hearing this.
The next second.
She took a deep breath, blinked, "So, Xandar, an alien Planet, wow, we're going to an alien Planet for our honeymoon."
Hawk laughed heartily.
"Yes, an alien Planet."
"So how are we going to get there?"
Gwen blinked, then hugged Hawk's waist, looked up, and met his gaze, "Like this, you hold me, and then whoosh, we're there?"
Hawk shook his head, "It's possible, but you said it yourself, the important thing about a honeymoon trip is never the destination, but our journey together."
Gwen's eyelashes curved.
"You remember."
"Of course, you are my wife. I remember every word you've said."
"Then how are we going to get there?"
"By boat."
Hawk smiled slightly, one arm wrapped around Gwen's waist.
The next second.
Boom!
Breaking through the atmosphere.
"Wow!"
Gwen, who felt a blur before her eyes and then saw the Universe's stars within her sight, instinctively exclaimed, then suddenly froze.
"My voice?"
"Mental barrier. Without a mental barrier, you would be swallowed by the vacuum."
"Alright."
Gwen hugged Hawk tightly, looked down at the blue Planet beneath her feet, and then at the empty Universe.
"Didn't you say we were going by boat? Where's the boat?"
"Look!"
Hawk held Gwen with his left hand, and with his right hand, he spread it towards the endless starry sky before them. A phantom of Phoenix was projected behind him, and the Reality Stone-studded Phoenix eyes instantly shot out an Aether-red ray, landing in the starry sky before them.
Gwen's pupils visibly widened, and her mouth also visibly opened.
Because!
Right before her eyes, an infinitely futuristic spaceship also appeared at a visible speed.
With a pure silver exterior, like an elegant White swan, it appeared silently in the Universe.
It's a well-known fact.
The Reality Stone can rewrite reality, create something out of nothing, and conjure imagined things from thin air.
So… the appearance of a spaceship, like the classic Enterprise from 'Star Trek,' was quite reasonable.
Hawk looked at Gwen, whose expression was filled with shock, and felt a great sense of satisfaction. He directly carried Gwen and appeared on the bridge inside the Enterprise.
This was the command center of the Enterprise spaceship.
All orders would be issued from here. The chair in the middle was the captain's seat, offering the best view, allowing one to see the vast starry sea ahead through the huge main observation window.
After landing, Gwen's first sight was the captain's seat. After letting go of Hawk, she immediately ran over there, then sat in the captain's seat, and began to look around.
Various equipment and control panels were distributed throughout the bridge in a highly aesthetic layout.
The control consoles for the helmsman and navigator, who controlled the spaceship's course.
The science officer's station, with large computer displays for scientific analysis and sensor data.
The operations officer, responsible for communications and weapon systems.
In short… everything that should be present in the Star Trek Enterprise, was present in the Enterprise bridge materialized by Hawk.
Even!
Things the Enterprise didn't have, were also here.
Gwen glanced at the extremely aesthetic layout of the Enterprise bridge, then looked at the empty bridge with only the two of them. After her excitement, she realized a problem: "How do we fly the spaceship?"
Hawk smiled slightly.
"Enterprise!"
"Yes, sir."
As Hawk's words fell, a gentle voice with a hint of neutrality appeared on the bridge.
Gwen was slightly stunned.
"This is…"
"Give the order, Captain. Let's head to Xandar."
Hawk, sitting in the first officer's seat to the right of the captain's chair, smiled and addressed Captain Gwen.
Gwen understood, cleared her throat.
"Enterprise."
"Yes, Mrs. Phoenix."
Gwen's face lit up with a smile upon hearing this address.
"Depart for Xandar!"
"Understood!"
As Gwen's words fell, the Enterprise, which resembled a silver disk suspended in the Universe, began to glow with a deep blue light.
The next second.
Boom!
The Earth, which was originally beneath them, instantly moved away from the Enterprise.
No, wait.
It was the Enterprise that instantly moved away from the Earth.
The gentle, neutral voice echoed on the bridge.
"Entering warp speed in approximately ten seconds, Mrs. Phoenix. Please fasten your seatbelt."
"Oh, oh."
Gwen reacted, grabbing the seatbelt and quickly buckling herself in.
Ten seconds later.
Whoosh!
The Enterprise's form in the Universe instantly elongated, and then, it vanished from its original position.
Gwen, sitting in the captain's chair, now looked at the dazzling, constantly fleeting space before her, her mouth agape.
The next second.
She looked at Hawk.
"This is theoretical warp travel. Aren't you a law student?"
"Yes, magic is also law."
Law is law.
magic is also law.
Hawk was perfectly serious.
He knew nothing about warp travel.
But that didn't stop him from materializing it, after all, the Enterprise came with a warp drive.
So… if he materialized the Enterprise, he naturally materialized the warp drive too.
If the bridge was neat and aesthetic, then the engineering section where the warp drive was located was incredibly rugged.
This space was vast, filled with intricate pipes, a shimmering blue antimatter reactor core, massive warp coils, and humming energy conduits.
The central reactor core was the energy source for the entire ship.
After the Enterprise entered warp cruise, Gwen eagerly dragged Hawk to the engineering section.
At this moment, Gwen's mouth was wide open as she looked at the enormous warp coils.
Although she was a biology student, that didn't mean she wasn't good in other fields.
Once again.
Gwen was a top student, and in the World of a top student, there were no weaknesses.
Hawk, standing beside her, yawned.
"Darling, it's time for us to sleep."
"Shush!"
Gwen, who had called out "Enterprise" and was asking about the principles of the warp drive, shushed Hawk without looking back, and placed her finger on Hawk's mouth to prevent him from speaking and interrupting "Enterprise's" explanation.
Hawk looked at the finger blocking his mouth, blinked, then looked at Gwen's glowing eyes, and an unpleasant premonition welled up in his heart.
He seemed to have done something wrong.
Putting a warp drive in front of a scientist wife is like putting it in front of a fly… Bah, bah.
Hawk quickly shook off the thought that had just popped into his head, then his eyes darted around, and he leaned into Gwen's ear, "Darling, there are even better treasures than the warp drive."
Better!
Gwen snapped back to attention and looked at Hawk.
"Where?"
"Follow me."
Hawk's heart leaped with joy. He pulled Gwen and quickly arrived at the captain's quarters in the Enterprise's crew living area, then led Gwen inside.
Gwen looked at the room, which was laid out like a bedroom, and frowned. She looked at Hawk, who was closing the door behind them, "Where's the treasure?"
Hawk had a thought, and his clothes instantly disappeared.
"This!"
