A Little Thing in the Marvel Universe

Reputation is a very interesting thing.

Everyone's reputation involves two indicators.Being praised by thousands of people and being watched by everyone represents outstanding achievements in the dimension of "quantity". A bad reputation is also a reputation.And in some fields that most law-abiding citizens will never touch in their lifetime, when a name leaves a very deep imprint on the hearts of a very small number of people, and these people happen to be at the apex of power, it means that in "quality" In terms of dimensions, this name has reached its peak.

Belle de Tefler-Piqué has become such a name.

As the president's chief of staff, Mark Usher would never be so naive as to persuade Belle with the reasons of "the interests of the United States of America" ​​and "sacrifice is the greatest honor."The direction of public opinion, the situation of anonymous patriots, and everything that may happen in the future is all a transaction.

All Belle has to do is remain silent on this matter.She actually has nothing to lose. No matter how much people criticize her online, as long as no one knows who she is, no real harm will be caused.

What she can get is an invisible giant hand that provides her with meticulous care and attention in the underground world.It can be said that she stepped on the shoulders of giants and stepped into another world. This starting point is already much higher than that of people like Ma Gucci.

Of course, these benefits have not yet been implemented.In Washington circles, there are too many cases of burning down bridges and killing donkeys.But Belle doesn't need to worry about that.Whether someone can value them, choose to cooperate with them, or even take advantage of them depends on how capable that person is.And ensuring one's own vested interests and making people dare not abandon or even betray depends on how dangerous the person is.

Mark Usher, and everyone in the know, knew Belle was capable.With these abilities, she can be dangerous if she wants to.

But there is no need to tell Peter and Vanessa these things, they just need to know that these things are not worth mentioning to her, and that she and Deadpool play games together just for fun, not that she is crazy. , that’s it.

Belle is very envious of Deadpool's heartless spirit. Most of the time, he can think about nothing.People say that a truly free and easy person just follows his heart. He may not even have a heart at all, relying on instinct for everything, and then he is still happy every day.I have to say, he is a miracle.

Peter Parker is also full of positive energy most of the time.But because of his pure nature, he knows little and thinks little.If, like Deadpool, he had experienced a hail of bullets, a plummeting appearance, and separation, there's no telling what he would be like.

……

I have to say that the United States is a magical country. When the September 911th incident occurred, the whole country was indeed in mourning.But when it comes to the crisis in Washington, except for those who are really affected, everyone is still doing almost what they should do.Bars and nightclubs are open as usual, shopping malls and supermarkets have discounts and promotions, and various competitions and concerts are held as scheduled.The American people seemed to be celebrating, welcoming such a huge blow to the political arena.

Sometimes it is difficult for Belle to understand why the people of this country are so simple and unsophisticated.They were particularly concerned about what was happening in Washington, and they chatted eloquently, but without exception they all held very similar views:

"Those guys are just a bunch of stupid pigs, really, spending our money and doing stupid things."

In a shabby tavern in Hell's Kitchen, Belle and Jessica Jones sat at the bar, listening to the bartender and a greasy middle-aged man chatting about "top secrets."

"Who says it's not? There's been a lot of quarrels recently about national parks and the watershed protection bill," the bartender said, giving the uncle another glass of wine, "but these people just don't care whether we can find a job, right?" ?”

"Come on, aren't you working? I'm the one who doesn't have a job." The middle-aged uncle drank the wine in one gulp, knocked the glass on the table, and signaled the bartender to fill it up again.

"At least you have a few more months of unemployment insurance."

The two of them chatted about these mundane things all the time, and Belle and Jessica were listening.

This duo is the bartender's favorite type of customer.Jessica drinks by the bottle. She can drink as much as a table of people by herself.Although Belle was a teetotaler, she paid the bills and tipped them generously.

The bartender was very grateful and did his best to ensure that no drunkard would harass these two people.But he also indirectly saved these people, otherwise missing arms and legs might have been inevitable.

But Jessica didn't appreciate it very much. She drank the wine, but she didn't look good at all.

"I already told you, I'm not interested in your nonsense at all."

But she was interested in wine and the first bottle was gone quickly.She held the bottle upside down, shook it to her mouth, and licked off the last drop in an indecent manner.

"One more bottle. Is there anything more expensive than this?"

Since someone was rushing to pay, she didn't have to be polite. She just felt a little regretful that she didn't go to a more expensive place.

"If you want, of course we can go to a more expensive place. In fact, I have a pretty good store myself, and it's more convenient to discuss things there."

"Can you read minds?" Jessica suddenly became alert.

"I know a lot, and you may be particularly interested in this ability." Belle smiled and glanced at the bartender and the greasy middle-aged uncle, "If you can spit a little bit in the wine, the uncle will like it more. "

"Good idea." The bartender said, spitting into the uncle's glass without hesitation.

The uncle didn't say anything and just drank the glass of wine.

"It's actually not a big deal. If you suspect that I paid for them, there's nothing I can do about it." Belle said, "Of course I can let them do something more exciting, like a striptease here." Something like that, but why bother bothering them?"

This short performance deeply stimulated Jessica, and she crushed the bottle in excitement.

"I didn't use this ability to do bad things. I didn't use it on you, otherwise, you would have left with me now."

"This ability is of no use to me." Jessica clenched her fists tightly, completely ignoring the blood flowing from her palms.

"I have completely different abilities than your fanatical pursuers. It's not a virus at all. Even if your body produces antibodies faster than Pfizer produces the little blue pill, you can't resist it. You have to try Try it?"

Jessica is a smart person, so she doesn't mess around.

"Seeing as you are still young, why would you find a boyfriend who needs blue pills? Are you so short of money?"

The veteran driver Jessica expressed in this way that she gave up resistance.

"Your association skills are really strong. You are worthy of being a private detective." Belle looked a little embarrassed, and she unintentionally tricked both herself and Peter. "But your guess was wrong. I expected you to do better." Woolen cloth."

Jessica shook her head noncommittally, "With your ability, I really don't know what else you need from me."

"What I want to do happens to be very difficult. It is of course a good thing to have someone as reliable as you to help." Belle said, "It's not just you. If possible, I hope more people can join me."

She stretched out her right hand and held Jessica's still bleeding palm. After a burst of green light flashed, Jessica's injured palm was intact.

Belle admired Jessica's shocked expression very proudly.

"This is the second time I've done this, and I don't want to do it often, so it's better to get less injured."

"Now, can you come with me?"

……

The club that was obtained from Ma Gucci for nothing, finally succeeded in changing its name under Belle's strong insistence. The Desperate Housewives signboard shone brightly in the New York night, discouraging every customer who tried to enter. .

Belle and Jessica could have gotten off to a good start.If the two of them could drive an eye-catching sports car, park it in front of the nightclub, and look back at the street with a smile when they walked in, they would definitely attract a wave of traffic.

They definitely didn't do that.Belle drove the car into a public underground parking lot, where there was a hidden door that could just lead to an elevator that directly entered the nightclub.The two people walked in a zigzag way for a while and directly entered a box that was never open to the public.

"As a model, you actually like to keep a low profile. No wonder you haven't been developing well."

Jessica complained, and sat directly on the sofa without anyone noticing, with her feet raised on the edge of the coffee table, and she flipped through the drink list on the table.

"This does not mean that the development is not good, it is just that there are too many trivial matters recently and the work has been delayed."

This is not a lie, but most people would not call fighting against Hydra and saving the president "trivial matters."

"You don't have to look at it. I've already ordered the most expensive bourbon for you. It's my treat. But next time, I can only give you a discount, otherwise I think I might be bankrupted by you."

It didn't take long for the wine to be delivered.

"It's also for old acquaintances."

Jessica didn't feel surprised when she looked at Vanessa who was guesting as a waiter. After all, it was she and Belle who came together last time.

"Right now, there are three people in our group." Belle said happily, "Before celebrating, I have to say, keep it secret."

Vanessa signaled Belle with her eyes, and she still wore a ring made by Tony Stark on her left hand.

"This?" She shook the back of her hand towards Vanessa, "This thing has never worked. This kind of thing is obviously the first rule of survival: always beware of Tony Stark."

She pointed to her neck as she spoke, to remind Vanessa that the choker Tony made to control Yaka arrows apparently had a similar function.

"Watch out for Tony Stark?" Jessica said in confusion, "I thought you and Iron Man were in the same group. Your name even appeared on the list of White House employees. If there were no S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers How can a person with super powers like you enter the White House openly?"

"You investigated me very carefully." Belle said.

"Besides, I guess you were the one who saved the president, right? Could it be that the president has been brainwashed by you? Could it be that you are..." Jessica said, and couldn't help but think of something more terrifying.

"Hey, don't think about it, I didn't do anything bad." Belle quickly explained, "Be wary of Tony, just because he will definitely not approve of what I plan to do. It happens that he is very curious. At the same time, he has the ability to cause enough trouble for anyone."

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Kill Wilson Fisk," Belle said easily.

Jessica found it hard to believe her.

"For most people, this is a big deal," Jessica said, while looking at Belle suspiciously, "But with your ability, this should be very simple. I, and this There is absolutely no need for a lady whose dress can obviously affect the film's rating."

"It's very necessary," Belle said seriously, "I didn't say I only wanted to do this one thing."
