Just like the superheroes on Earth.
Hawk didn't have any special thoughts about the Guardians of the Galaxy, belonging to the kind of person who neither had the desire to make friends, nor harbored unwarranted dislike.
Simply put.
Go with the flow!
He originally planned to return to Earth after Gwen observed the desired data, who would have thought Gwen felt they should provide humanitarian aid to the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Then...
Help them!
Your own wife, you pamper her.
"How long will your data take?"
"Thirty minutes."
Gwen glanced at the computer projection, then looked at Hawk: "If you don't want to meet them, then we won't. Once they're repaired, let them leave."
Hawk waved his hand.
"Forget it."
"Ah."
"Since we're here."
Yes.
Since we're here, let's meet them; in any case, it's better than being idle. Watching a talking raccoon and tree baby is more interesting than looking at a bunch of broken stones.
At least that won't make you fall asleep.
Hawk thought to himself.
Soon.
Under the guidance of the Enterprise's projection, the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy passed through the deck, walked down the silver sci-fi corridor, and finally arrived at the bridge room.
In an instant.
The Guardians of the Galaxy were shocked by the ultimate sci-fi beauty of the Enterprise bridge.
"Peter!"
With a look resembling a red rune warrior, Drax the Destroyer quickly called Star-Lord: "Look, it's that male god we just saw."
Peter and Gamora exchanged glances, then looked at Hawk: "Thank you, Captain, for the rescue."
Hawk heard this and laughed: "I'm not the captain; my wife is. My wife has never seen a talking raccoon or tree baby, so she wants to see them."
Raccoon?
Who are you talking about?
Rocket, standing next to Gamora with Baby Groot on his shoulder, froze for a moment then bared his teeth at Hawk.
"Hey, I'm not a raccoon."
"I'm Groot!"
On Rocket's shoulder, the very cute-looking Tree-man Groot also clenched his fists, looking adorably fierce, and yelled.
Gwen watched the bristling Rocket, and the adorably fierce little tree-man, without finding them frightening, instead thinking they're cute.
Because Hawk was by her side.
As long as Hawk was there, Gwen felt that even if a Tyrannosaurus rex were to resurrect, she wouldn't feel scared.
But...
"What's the raccoon's race? I looked in the cosmic species manual from Nova Corps, and there doesn't seem to be a match. But the little tree-man, I found out is from the Flower God Giant Race."
"It's no race, just a genetically modified raccoon."
Hawk laughed and looked at Gwen: "Just like the half-machine person tied up on their spaceship, they've been modified. Most of that half-machine person's body has been replaced with mechanical parts by Thanos."
Gwen listened to Thanos's name and seemed to remember something, looking at Hawk.
"This Thanos, wouldn't he be the one you mentioned back in 2012 when Loki led the Chitauri to invade our Earth?"
"It's him."
"Hold on."
Hawk and Gwen's conversation wasn't hidden from the Guardians of the Galaxy, so their dialogue was overheard by them.
Star-Lord Peter listened to the word Earth, and after a moment's surprise, grew a bit excited, looking at Hawk and Gwen. "Wait, Earth, you guys are Earthlings?"
Gwen turned and looked at Star-Lord Peter, who was a bit excited, and grew curious: "Yes, we're Earthlings. You know about Earth too?"
This can't be blamed on Gwen for being curious.
During her honeymoon on Sandaar Star, Gwen encountered several alien races vacationing there like them.
Gwen also asked those cosmic races if they knew Earth.
Turns out, none of them knew Earth.
Wrong.
They knew Earth by its cosmic name, Terra Star, but they've never been there nor seen any life from Terra Star.
According to them, Terra Star is located in the most remote and desolate area of the cosmos, like the suburbs of the suburbs; no one would waste energy foolishly going to that far-flung place.
Why go there? It serves no purpose other than wasting fuel money.
At the time, despite not showing it, Gwen was a bit hurt as Earth was their home, hearing it talked about like that by alien races.
So—
Suddenly now, seeing the rescues seem to know Earth, how could Gwen not be surprised but also feel a tad bit of delight?
Gwen seriously looked at Peter, then seemed to realize something.
"Are you also from Earth?"
"What, I'm not from Earth; I'm from Missouri."
"..."
Gwen listened to Star-Lord's response, paused momentarily, then speechlessly said, "That's Earth, you're a Federation person too?"
As everyone knows.
Missouri is a state of the Federation, so Gwen, after a moment of speechlessness, had a somewhat happy expression.
She didn't expect to run into someone from her hometown here.
However...
Gwen was even more curious at this moment: "How did you leave Earth?"
After all, up to now, the furthest place Earth has been to is the Moon.
And that was already last century, and it only happened once. Since then, it's as if Earth's technology has been frozen, unable to take another step out.
Star-Lord opened his mouth, possibly because of the fellow hometown connection, and briefly told how he was taken from Earth by Yondu.
Although due to his mother, Star-Lord has always felt that Earth only brought him sad memories. So, even after escaping Yondu's control, he never thought of returning to Earth to take a look.
But that doesn't mean everything.
After all, in the vast universe, meeting someone from your own species is still a very happy thing.
For instance, the Flower God Giant Race, where Tree-man Groot belongs.
Gwen saw two others while on her honeymoon on Sandaar Star, but those two Flower God Giant Race members were already adults, looking more ferocious, not as cute as Baby Groot here.
In any case.
The universe is vast, with many species, even Gamora sometimes encounters other Zehouberi Race people.
Thanos merely killed half the population of the Zehouberi Race, not entirely.
But just as Star-Lord began telling his story, the Enterprise's projection descended, reminding Gwen.
"Ma'am, it is time for your meal."
"Oh, okay, thank you."
Gwen snapped back to reality and thanked the Enterprise for the reminder.
After confirming her pregnancy, the hospital on Sandaar Star, based on Gwen's test results, even listed a chart of daily nutritional intake requirements and set up a timetable.
Once the Enterprise's projection disappeared.
Gwen seemed to think of something, first glancing at Hawk. After seeing Hawk shrug in agreement, she looked at Peter and the others, smiling and inviting, "Have you eaten? If not, my husband and I invite you to join us."
Upon hearing this, Peter exchanged a glance with Gamora.
Gamora was about to gesture for Peter to decline, since, given someone who knows Thanos and is still alive, even having such an advanced spacecraft, it hardly seemed they could be ordinary people.
Then...
Before Gamora could speak, Star-Lord accepted Gwen's invitation with a delighted expression.
"Sure, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Gwen smiled slightly, took Hawk, who had been standing quietly beside, and led the Guardians of the Galaxy towards the crew's dining room located on the lower level of the Enterprise.
The Enterprise's crew dining room was also perfectly replicated by Hawk according to the movie's version of the Enterprise.
So—
The Food Generator, naturally, was present as well.
However, there was a small issue.
Just as Star-Lord stood in front of the Food Generator, with a hint of anticipation, he selected Earth by region and then located the Missouri menu.
Gamora, on seeing the options 'Andoria' and 'Vulcan' on the Food Generator screen, whispered to Drax the Destroyer beside her, "Are there such races in the universe?"
The answer was clearly no.
At least in the 616 Main Cosmos, there are no Andorians or Vulcans.
But in the Star Trek universe, Andorians and Vulcans, along with Earthlings, established the Cosmic Interstellar Alliance.
Hawk's manifestation was a perfect replication.
Therefore...
In the Enterprise Spaceship's Food Generator, features traditional delicacies from Andorians and Vulcans.
However, this was merely a small interlude.
Because after knowing Hawk and Gwen were fellow countrymen, Star-Lord was less wary during the meal, reducing a bit of tension.
Listening to Star-Lord recount his story of being taken from Earth, Gwen's expression correspondingly responded to Star-Lord's narrative.
Simply put, emotional value.
In terms of being a listener, Gwen has always been professional, and the cosmos wandering stories Star-Lord later shared indeed attracted Gwen.
Gamora glanced at Hawk and thanked him, "Thank you for rescuing our ship."
Rocket Raccoon munched on his dish of crawfish, quickly following up, "Yes, and thank you for inviting us to dine."
Baby Groot, sticking his branch into a cup of juice, looked at Hawk, saying, "I am Groot!"
Drax the Destroyer also realized at that moment, his face covered in red runes, but wearing an even more simple-minded grin, "Yes, thank you."
Hawk smiled slightly, uttering that there was no need to be polite.
Then nothing more came.
As everyone knows.
His personality is introverted; rather than being adept with words, he is skilled with fists and feet.
Most importantly.
He didn't have any intentions of befriending the Guardians of the Galaxy, let alone proactively forging friendships.
So...
Compared to chatting, Hawk has more important matters.
For example!
Eighth Sense!
