A Little Thing in the Marvel Universe

Amanda Waller is a ruthless person.

This black woman born in the DC world was destined to stand on the opposite side of everyone from the moment she was drawn.

There are three common types of characters in the comic book world: innocent passers-by, heroes, and villains.

For most characters, you have to choose a side to join.But Amanda Waller does not abide by this rule. Her choice is to use innocent passers-by as bargaining chips to win over the heroes and villains who can be won over to deal with those who cannot be won over.

She has no principles, no bottom line, no standards, only one most basic belief: everyone can become a threat to the United States.

Belle is a little curious, does this include Waller himself?

She was not the least bit flustered by Waller's threat to sentence Peter to death.Her legal team is good enough to fight Waller head-on in court.If Waller was playing dirty tricks and she and Peter teamed up, the prison escape plot could be over with just one sentence.

What's more, although 37 of the fifty states in the United States still retain the death penalty, Washington, D.C., where they were at this time, and Peter's hometown of New York, do not have the death penalty.

So what she really cares about is Waller's origin and true intentions.

Why does a character from the DC universe appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

She didn't think this was a time traveler, because Waller was obviously different from the trio of time travelers she had encountered before.

First of all, Waller kept his real name, while for unknown reasons, Bruce Day and three other people chose pseudonyms.

Of course, this may be because the real names of those three are not suitable for appearing in the modern United States, and Amanda Waller is a genuine English name, and there is no need to change it.

Secondly, considering that White Walker, who traveled through time as the King of the White Walkers, modified his appearance, it shows that they have the ability to adjust their image.Since he has this ability, Belle does not believe that any time traveler is willing to start his own life in a different world under the image of Waller.

The most important point is that this Waller's behavior is really very Waller.

Ever since she learned the secret of the "water" around her body, she has been able to conduct meticulous investigations on everything that comes within the range of the "water".So from the moment she opened the door and entered, Belle already knew that this Waller was a robot stand-in.

Only in this way can we explain why Belle's psychic ability (swinging high heels) to exert psychological pressure on FBI agents out of spite has no effect on Waller, who is also just an ordinary person.

Moreover, she also believes in the existence of such advanced simulation robots. After all, in the comics, Maria Hill relied on a robot stand-in to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Skrull army.However, the cost of this kind of robot must be astonishingly high. She estimated that even with Waller's high level, it would be nothing more than a stand-in.

Being able to use a robot stand-in is a typical Waller style: he will never risk his life unless necessary! (The settings before New 52 are borrowed here).

The second part of Waller's typical style is to make a deal that people can't refuse.Generally speaking, this "unable to refuse" means that once you refuse, either you will die or the person you love most will die.It has nothing to do with a happy ending like a win-win situation.Used on Belle, it is a threat to sentence Peter to death.

The time-traveling trio never showed any behavior consistent with the character's prototype identity.

But then again, if the three of them are really so scheming that all their actions are disguises, just to make Waller play his best role, then Belle will admit defeat.It is not unfair to lose to such a powerful opponent.

Belle was thinking rapidly and had to fall into a short silence.But Waller didn't intend to give Belle time to think, she wanted to win the opponent in one go.

“If you’re still feeling lucky, you might as well take a look at this.”

Waller handed over a tablet computer. The screen was divided into four according to the Cartesian coordinate system. Each quadrant was a scope, and the crosshair was aimed at the heads of four people: Peter's favorite Aunt May, Jessica Jones' Sisters Trish Walker, Pepper Potts, and just outside the door, FBI Director Emily Pantis.

Belle's eyes widened and she swallowed nervously.

"Why did you kill Aunt May?" She thought to herself, "Is it to threaten me, or does she already know that Peter is Spider-Man?"

After being stunned for a second, she realized that there were four targets, and each one was more influential than the last!

Waller was very satisfied to see Belle's shocked application.So she struck while the iron was hot and said: "There are more than four targets. As long as I want, Sharon Carter, Vanessa Carlyle, Clint Barton's family, even the First Lady, anyone you can think of, I will It can be erased at any time.”

Belle came back to her senses, stared at Waller's expressionless face, raised her finger and pointed at the surveillance camera.

Waller sneered and said, "It's not difficult to interfere with this signal."

Waller took back the tablet and continued: "You don't have to doubt the authenticity of these pictures. I don't need to play those kind of psychological tactics. Of course, I'm not that stupid. I can't kill them if necessary."

"Okay," Belle said in an increasingly unfriendly tone, "What do you mean if it's not necessary?"

"It's very simple. Soon, the Avengers will fall apart, and Iron Man and Captain America will fight each other. When the time comes, I hope you can support Iron Man."

Hearing Waller say this, Belle's heart suddenly started beating rapidly.

Did Waller know the events of the Civil War were going to happen?Or does she not know, but plans to manipulate it secretly and provoke a civil war in the Avengers?

She forced herself to calm down and asked, pretending to be confused: "Soldiers meeting? What do you mean? Is it like the Arican civil war?"

Waller nodded and said, "The metaphor is very apt."

Belle wasn't sure whether Waller understood her hint about civil war, but she couldn't ask in detail and could only continue along the topic: "But this kind of thing, even if I am forced to do so now I promised you, how can you believe that I will do it when the time comes?"

"It's really convenient to chat with smart people." Waller's voice revealed a hint of approval.

Belle immediately grasped the key point, how to make Waller believe in herself.

Waller's regular approach is to leave a fatal clue to the opponent.For example, leaving the heart as a restriction, or implanting a small bomb with a tracking device in the neck, she can kill you at any time if she wants.

But for Belle, these methods are useless.

So she was prepared.

"It's very simple. I don't believe in you, but I believe in myself." Waller said, "No matter what methods you and your Superman friends use to protect these people, I have the ability to kill them at any time!"

"Hey," Belle was directly amused by Waller's words, "Of course it's not difficult to kill them. The question is, can you really afford the crime and consequences of killing these people?"

Waller said contemptuously: "It would be easier for me to just kill them."

"Oh? It seems that someone didn't allow you to use the easiest way?"

"You're really good," Waller said. "If you weren't a damn superpower, I'd really want to recruit you into my employ."

She neither admitted nor denied it.This made it impossible for Belle to judge her thoughts.Waller

Did she deliberately set a trap for herself, making herself mistakenly think that she had stronger support behind her, or did Belle really guess what she was thinking?

Waller continued: "It's a pity. The existence of you people is a huge threat to the entire world. We are destined to be unable to unite. But this is not important. Remember, what I ask of you is to support Iron Man. "

After saying that, Waller turned to leave, but was stopped by Belle.

"I thought you were here to interrogate me, but you just left without asking me anything?"

Waller asked back: "Do you have anything to ask? I already know everything about what happened in Los Angeles, and there is no need to ask you. But the facts are not important at all, are they?"

Belle said nothing, acquiescing to Waller's point of view.

"So I advise you, and your friends, to think about it carefully. In my opinion, your so-called super powers are no different from juggling. Don't think you are omnipotent. You have no idea of ​​the real power. Known.”

After Waller finished speaking, he had already walked outside the door, said "let them go" coldly to the tired FBI agents, and strode away.

The surveillance signal returned to normal immediately after Waller left the room.Under the urging of Wanda and Tony, Vision walked directly through the wall and landed in front of Belle.

"Are you okay?" Vision asked with concern.

"I'm fine. Where are Captain and Tony?"

"Captain Rogers and Mr. Stark are both at the Avengers Base. If you need it, I can arrange to send you off as soon as possible..."

"No," Belle interrupted him directly, "Peter and Jessica will be left to you first, I'll take the first step."

Belle walked quickly to the door and glared at the group of stunned agents. They immediately stepped aside so that Belle could face her director.

"Can I go, Emily?"

Director Pantis shrugged helplessly and said: "I didn't intend to let you come. But there is no way, the World Security Council is much higher than us."

"It's okay, I might come here more often in the future."

"You're welcome to come often," Emily said, "but when you come again, don't torture my agents anymore. They just followed orders and didn't provoke you."

"I try my best."

As Belle spoke, she pressed her left hand directly against the wall. As an electric arc flashed across her hand, all the surveillance cameras nearby randomly malfunctioned and a burst of electric sparks emitted, causing the agents to scream in surprise.

"That damn secretary-general is responsible for this." She said to Emily, and at the same time, she snapped her fingers at the agents except Emily, causing them to collectively fall into a very brief trance. It was convenient for her to open a portal in the FBI building in a grand manner.

"Emily, I suddenly feel that you'd better come with me."

"Where to go?" Emily asked.

"Avengers Headquarters, I have something urgent to discuss with the captain and the others. This matter also has something to do with you."

Emily seemed hesitant.

Emily and Belle would see each other from time to time while she was working for the First Lady.During the crisis in Washington, the two men joined forces to fight against Hydra.There is often cooperation between SHIELD and the FBI.Through several relationships, Emily, as the director, has some understanding of Belle's abilities.Naturally, she had heard that Belle once opened a portal and took four people from Washington, D.C., to New York State at one time, and then fell into a coma for several days.

So she asked: "Are you sure it's okay? Will it be too much of a burden to have one more person?"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on, but you'd better be mentally prepared. This thing is more terrifying than Hydra's attack on Washington."
