Marvel: Hawkeye Mihawk’s Path to the Sword

In an ordinary cell, Clint Barton was confined to a recliner at this time, sweating profusely and looking pained.

Sitting next to him was Natasha, who was now staring intently at Barton in front of him, observing his condition.

With Loki walking away with the Mind Gem, without Loki by his side to strengthen the psychological hints, and after being beaten by Natasha to recover some of his original thoughts, Barton is now trying to overcome the magic that Loki has exerted on his body through his own efforts.

"Clint, you're going to be fine." While observing Barton's condition, Natasha tries to exert some positive psychic cues on him to help him overcome the effects of Loki.

"Really? Are you sure? I can't relax for a moment, I have to kick him out, or his consciousness will be taken over again. Barton said with a wry smile, his confidence shaken a little as he continued to struggle in pain and his strength continued to drain his strength.

"It's not easy, you have to take your time." Natasha stood up and poured him a glass of water, soothing him.

"You don't understand." Barton's tone was pessimistic, "Do you know what it's like to be robbed of your will and manipulated at will? Pulling you out and putting someone else in, you know what it's like to be disintegrated? "

Hearing Barton's increasingly pessimistic words, Natasha knew she had to do something about it, or Barton would soon lose herself again due to the magic left behind by Loki.

"You know I know how it feels."

Natasha's calm words seemed to have some kind of magic, and after hearing this, Barton's body stopped struggling, and his expression returned to calm, "How did I recover?" How did you get him out? "

"Cognitive reschooling." Natasha uttered a very professional psychological term, "commonly known as knocking on the brain." "

It doesn't seem so professional either...

"Thank you!"

Natasha didn't respond to Barton's thanks, but simply reached out to untie the restraints from the recliner for him.

"How many agents have I killed..."

"Don't!" Before he could finish, Natasha interrupted the question, "Don't torture yourself, Clint. It's Loki, it's monsters, it's magic, it's our unheard-of enemies. "

"Did Loki run away?" Barton asked again.

"Yes." Natasha looked into the other's eyes and nodded, "Do you know where he's going?" "

Barton: "I didn't take my turn, so I didn't ask." But he'll be moving soon, just today! "

Natasha: "We've got to stop him. "

"Really? Who are we? Barton asked, taking a glass of water.

"I don't know, who survived." She shrugged her shoulders and replied.

Barton: "Well, if I can shoot an arrow through Loki's eye socket, I'll get a good night's sleep." "

Natasha: "That's what you say. "

"But you're not like you, you're a spy, not a soldier, how can you want to charge into battle? Why, what did Loki do to you, Natasha? "

"Nothing...

I was moved by him, I owe blood debts, and now it's time for me to pay them off.

And—

I hadn't noticed that the scepter was still in the mothership, and when everything had calmed down, I realized that my sights and hearings had awakened. In that case, it's time for Loki and his army to taste the power of our earthlings. "

After Natasha said this, Barton also began to notice his changes, and concentrated on activating his sights and hearings, "I seem to have woken up too!" "

If the two of them were just wandering at the door of the transcendent before, and they could only barely urge the domineering ability of seeing and hearing, then now the two of them can really be called transcendental.

Natasha survives Loki's verbal assault and escapes with Hulk.

Barton, on the other hand, experienced Loki's magical control, and with his own will and Natasha's help, he defeated it and regained himself.

It can be said that the growth trajectory of the spiritual realm of the two is in line with the third item of the theory proposed by Mihawk, which is to obtain the growth and progress of the mental state through experience.

Natasha: "Teacher Fuji Tiger is right, those of us who often shuttle between life and death, once we have domineering talent and cultivation methods, we can all awaken sooner or later.

Now it seems that it is really a blessing and a curse, and this time it must be made Loki to look good. "

......

Inside a special cell.

Tony stood here silent, not sure if he was thinking or in a daze.

This is the same place where Loki was previously imprisoned, and it is also the place where Coulson was "killed".

"Is he married?" Rogers asked Tony.

After Tony left the table, Fury didn't speak anymore, sometimes you have to know that what needs to be said has been said, the effect has been achieved, and now is the time to [let the bullets fly for a while].

Fury didn't say a word, and Rogers decided to follow Tony and have a good talk with him.

Tony: "No, I have a girlfriend who seems to be a cellist. "

Rogers: "What a pity! He looks good. "

Tony scoffed, "He's a fool!" "

"Why? Is it because he has faith? Rogers was puzzled.

Tony: "Because he's going to fight Loki alone." "

"That's called due diligence." Rogers retorted.

"That's too much to do, he should wait for backup. He should—" Tony choked up, unable to continue.

Rogers: "Sometimes there's just no other way, Tony. "

Tony: "yes, that sounds familiar. "

Rogers: "Is this the first time you've lost a comrade?" "

"We are not warriors!" Tony roared. "I'm not going to do Nick Fury's bidding."

"Neither will I." Rogers agreed. "He's also responsible for Loki's crimes. But we have to let those go first and deal with foreign enemies! Loki needs a power source, if only we could list..."

"He's turned the big war into a personal vendetta—" Tony interrupted Rogers.

"That's not the point."

"That's the point." Tony went on to explain, "That's what Loki is for. Why would he go straight to our lair? "

"Good for crushing us." Rogers replied as a matter of course.

"yes, it's a good idea to scatter and break down. But he knows we're a stumbling block to his great cause, right? That's the knot in his heart, he wants to beat us, he wants everyone else to see him win – he wants the audience. Finally, Tony deduced his purpose based on Loki's character.

"By the way, we met him in Stuttgart.

Yes, it was just a test screening, and this time — it was the opening night, and Loki was the star of the show. He asked for flowers to be given to him, and he wanted to swagger around, and he wanted a monument that towered as high as the clouds, and his name was engraved on it..."

At the critical point, Tony's reasoning was interrupted, and his expression of surprise seemed to be a sudden thought, "Son-of-Bitch!" "

......

"Looks like Mihawk was right, Tony guessed the location." Nick Fury, who was secretly observing, smiled confidently as he had everything under control.

But what no one realizes is that the real horror of Tony's quick and logical analysis is not his correctness, but that he uses the brains of mortals to speculate on the actions of the gods.

If Mihawk was still on the Helicarrier at this time, then he would have seen that after this grind, it was not only Natasha and Barton who had improved their spiritual realm, but also one more person-Tony Stark.

After this battle, Tony will surely take another big step forward on the road to transcendence, and the results of each step will eventually be transformed into Mihawk's strength against the established fate.
