Chapter 35 Mr. Fate, Stephen Hawking

"Actually, I have an ability that no one else knows about. I saw that I got along so well with you, Sister Natasha, so I made an exception and secretly told you."

After chatting for a while, Hawking suddenly became mysterious.

"What ability?"

Black Widow's eyes lit up immediately, thinking that her conversation had relaxed Hawking's guard.

Hawking, feigning smugness, bluffed:

"Actually, this isn't an innate ability, but rather a very advanced skill that I learned from a young age."

I can roughly judge a person's fate by looking at their palm; in our area, this is commonly known as fortune-telling.

"Really?"

Black Widow was skeptical; she instinctively felt that this ability was a bit far-fetched.

"Of course it's true, I'll show you if you don't believe me."

Hawking grabbed Black Widow's hand, removed her gloves, and examined her hand for a moment, then sighed, frowned, and shook his head.

"Sister Natasha, you're destined to be a lone wolf!"

What is a "lone star destined for misfortune"?

Black Widow looked completely bewildered.

Although she speaks Chinese, it doesn't mean she knows about the culture there.

"This cursed star means that you are born with a life full of misfortunes, a difficult childhood, and an unhappy end. You are also likely to be alone for the rest of your life, without marriage or children."

Hawking spouted nonsense with great conviction.

Of course, he doesn't know anything about fortune telling, nor can he predict the future. He's loaded with Harry Potter, not Grindelwald, so he doesn't have a natural ability to predict the future.

He was just teasing Black Widow because she was always trying to get information out of him.

Although what he said is indeed partly true.

Sure enough, upon hearing Hawking's words, Black Widow froze, her body stiffening, and she fell into a somewhat emo state.

She was born in the Soviet Union in 1984 and became an abandoned baby.

She was later adopted and trained by government agencies, and followed Soviet Captain Alexei, Iron Lady Melina, and Yelena, who was also an orphan, to Ohio to carry out a spy mission disguised as a family of four.

After the mission failed, he was sent to the Red House to undergo even more brutal training under Mrs. B.

During this process, her body was injected with enhanced genes, and she was forced to undergo tubal ligation surgery, permanently losing her fertility.

During those years, as the most outstanding Black Widow, she was sent to various places to carry out espionage and assassination missions, and her hands were stained with the blood of many innocent people, even children.

Two years ago, Hawkeye Barton of S.H.I.E.L.D. was ordered to eliminate her, but she unexpectedly realized the mistakes she had made in her life, and decided to join S.H.I.E.L.D. to atone for her past mistakes.

So, looking at it this way, what Hawking said seems to actually make a lot of sense.

"Will my whole life be like this?"

Black Widow felt a sense of desolation.

At this time, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old Black Widow was still somewhat less mentally resilient than the Black Widow who had experienced various S.H.I.E.L.D. missions ten years later.

Hawkeye clearly noticed Black Widow's unusual behavior. He didn't believe Hawking had any so-called ability to predict fate, so he extended his hand and said:

"That's amazing! Can you take a look at it too?"

He wanted to use facts to make Black Widow understand that what Hawking said was just a coincidence.

Hawking naturally did not refuse:

"Oh my, yours is quite good, you're destined to have many children and grandchildren."

He glanced at Hawkeye's raised palm and continued his deception:

"From your palm, I can tell that you didn't have a good childhood, which is probably related to your family. However, your future is very bright. You will marry one of your colleagues and have at least three children."

Barton, who had just picked up his water bottle to take a sip and watch Hawking's performance, was immediately stunned.

He did have a difficult childhood, because he and his mother were robbed at a convenience store and he killed the robber, which led to his mother being imprisoned.

Now in his thirties, he is dating a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent named Mockingbird, and they plan to get married within the next two years.

"Could it be that this mutant child named Hawking really has the ability to see through fate?"

"Then I really will have three children!"

At that moment, he both hoped that Hawking's abilities were fake, because that would mean his good friend Natasha would be happy in the future, and he also hoped that Hawking's abilities were real, because that would mean his future would be happy.

"Okay, hey... Natasha, Barton, what's wrong with you two?"

Just then, Hill suddenly pushed open the door to the lounge, but when she saw Black Widow and Hawkeye's expressions, she looked puzzled.

Why do the two generals from S.H.I.E.L.D. look so disappointed and conflicted?

"Oh, they've reached an agreement? Then we can go."

Natasha, Barton, it was a pleasure chatting with you both. Let's talk again sometime.

Hawking immediately stood up, waved to Black Widow and Hawkeye, and then left the lounge with Mystique and Hill.

"Um... you really can read people's fates?"

On the way to the director's office, Mystique asked Hawking in a low voice.

Although she was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, she didn't miss a single word of the conversation between the three people in the lounge.

There is a black market mutant dealer named Caliban who can occasionally see fragments of the future, so it seems not impossible that Hawking could also see through people's fates.

"Guess?"

Hawking gave a meaningful smile.

If you believe I can see through fate, then you should take my words to heart. If things change in the future and my words are wrong, then I don't admit that I can really see through fate; it's just your wishful thinking.

Mystique reached out and quickly pinched Hawking's cheek:

"You little rascal, I think we should give you the nickname 'Destiny Boy'."

"Wrong, it's Mr. Fate!"

Hawking shrugged.

Mystique looks to be in her early twenties or thirties, but she's actually around the same age as Professor X and Magneto—she's practically a grandmother. So it wouldn't hurt for her to pinch her.

The two chatted for a while and soon returned to the office door, where they were greeted by Nick Fury and two others who seemed to be having a good talk.

"I hope we can cooperate more in the future."

Nick Fury had a rare smile on his face.

Professor X was easier to talk to than he had imagined. As long as the bottom line of mutant safety was not crossed, many things were very easy to discuss.

While Magneto is rather extreme and hostile towards humans, he has managed to control them.

Therefore, the current outcome of the communication is acceptable to all three parties for the time being.

"Professor, I'm hungry. It's time for lunch."

Hawking stepped forward, speaking to Professor X, but looking up at Nick Fury.

Nick Fury, being a shrewd individual, immediately spoke up:

"Since it's lunchtime, let's have lunch together. I happen to know a newly opened top-notch French restaurant."

Since the communication went smoothly, it would be nice to have a meal together to deepen our relationship.

Upon hearing this, Hawking's lips curled into a smile; he was doing it on purpose.

In about an hour, the pure water inside Stryker's body will turn into poison. If they are with Nick Fury at that time, they can clear themselves of all suspicion.
