When Joanna and the others returned to the house, Isa and Benji were already sitting at the dining table.Seeing Steve and others coming in, Benji took the lead in pulling Ethan out of the chair next to Isa so that he could sit down.As soon as Ethan sat down, Benji leaned over his head: "Have you done it yet? Is he really as good at fighting as the legend says?"
Ethan glanced at Benji in disapproval, and Benji shrank his neck and fell silent.
Everyone gathered around the dining table in unison and found their seats to sit down.Joanna was a little hesitant, she didn't think she had anything to discuss with them.To put it bluntly, she didn't think she had the ability and qualifications to be on an equal footing with this group of guys who were former agents.But in the end, Joanna found a corner and sat down.
Who knows?Maybe these guys will ask her later if they have something to say, they may not be sure.
After everyone was seated, Ethan was the first to speak without hesitation: "Captain, Ms. Romanov, you must already know about Director Fury. He had contacted Miss Rickman before the accident, and I handed her a data file. On the day of the incident, I wanted to copy the file first, but I met Miss Rickman halfway, and things changed, so it evolved into the situation you know now."
Steve subconsciously looked back at Joanna in the corner: "So, you mean you didn't kidnap Joanna, but saved her?"
Ethan replied very politely: "Miss Rickman also helped me a lot."
Natasha folded her arms: "Tell me, what will you do to hand over the data?"
"Unconditional."
Natasha froze for a moment, and exchanged a look with Steve.
"You mean, you are going to hand over the data to us unconditionally, and then take the risk of being hunted down by S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Natasha raised her eyebrows, as if hearing a cute joke.
"We are not the only ones being hunted by S.H.I.E.L.D.." Ethan showed a friendly smile, "I have reason to believe that what the two of you are going to do is to stop S.H.I.E.L.D. In other words, this is my condition. I can hand over the data, but S.H.I.E.L.D. must be stopped."
Natasha didn't say yes, but just stared at Ethan: "You described S.H.I.E.L.D. as a terrorist organization."
Ethan looked at Natasha with a look of "I already know everything": "I think we each have an independent judgment on this point. Miss Rickman also has her own opinion, doesn't she?"
Joanna, who was suddenly caught by the cue, straightened her back involuntarily.But she soon discovered that everyone didn't mean to ask for her opinion. Everyone's eyes swept over her and then moved away again.Joanna's straight back bent down again.At that moment, she felt quite stupid.Like a substitute player who will never have a chance to play, always holding a ridiculous fantasy to misunderstand the meaning of the star players.
Due to the special situation, Natasha had to maintain basic suspicion of people other than the Avengers.But she also knew very well in her heart that what Ethan Hunt said was right, and her professional judgment also told her that this wave of members from the former IMF was trustworthy in this matter.She just...has a habit of not wanting to entrust her safety to others.
"The situation with S.H.I.E.L.D. is more complicated than you think. With all due respect, even though I have been assured that you are friends, this matter is of great importance. I cannot let you get involved." Natasha's face was friendly, but her attitude was Looked very determined.
Joanna couldn't help but secretly glanced at the expressions of Ethan and the others.Benji and Luthor were a little dissatisfied, Ethan seemed calm, and as for Isa... For some reason, Joanna always felt that she was satisfied with Natasha's answer.
"Ms. Romanov, I understand your feelings and concerns. But with all due respect, I have done so much, not to sell favors to you. I will risk data and Miss Rickman from SHIELD The bureau brought it out because I want to destroy their plan."
Natasha shrugged: "Just leave this kind of thing to us."
"I believe that Captain America will solve this matter unselfishly." When Ethan said this, there was a kind of respect from the heart in his tone, "but Ms. Romanov... please understand that I treat you Also skeptical."
"Because I'm from S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"Because of all your experiences."
Natasha sighed, and glanced at Steve: "So, are you determined to get involved?"
"I want to help you." Ethan said politely, but his expression was not at all polite.
Joanna saw Isa on the side looking away, then stood up and said: "It seems that you have to discuss it for a while, and call me after you decide how to arrange it. I have to go out to get some air."
"Isa?"
Isa ignored it and left.
Joanna thought for a while, then stood up slowly: "Well... I can't help, I'll go... to stay with Isa for a while."
Everyone didn't speak, and their expressions were different.Joanna didn't wait for them to express their opinions, and followed Isa's footsteps and left the restaurant.
She followed Isa up to the second floor, to the small terrace that few people go to on weekdays.When she arrived on the terrace, Isa was facing the outside, with her arms folded, thinking about something.
"I...Isa."
"What are you doing here?" Isa said indifferently, not taking Joanna seriously at all.
"No...it's nothing. I just feel that I can't help you below. It's embarrassing. So, it's better to come out and talk to you for a while."
Isa raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, but Joanna couldn't tell the meaning behind that smile.
"You...don't want Ethan to participate in this incident?"
Yisha was expressionless, as if this was not something she had considered: "Don't you want him to get involved?"
"Honestly, I don't even know what's going on. So... there's no hope for me. I just... just wonder."
"What's so strange?"
"Sometimes you act like a secret agent, and other times...not at all."
Isa turned her head and looked at Joanna seriously for the first time: "What do you mean?"
"Maybe it's because I have too few female agents, so I feel that female agents should be like Romanov. I hope to control everything. But you always give me a feeling that I want to jump out of it all. "
Yisha took a closer look at the keen woman in front of her: "Sometimes, being desperate is just a choice."
Joanna nodded, feeling that this made some sense: "I agree."
"Perhaps there should be no heroes in this world."
Joanna couldn't understand these words, she tilted her head and looked at Isa: "I don't understand. Isn't it a good thing to have heroes?"
"For a hero, no. Like, for an agent, an agent isn't a good job."
Joanna stared at Isa's profile, and suddenly said, "Do you like Ethan?"
Isa couldn't help but glance at her again, but didn't speak this time.
"So you don't want him involved in this incident. You think it's dangerous. You want to protect him?"
Isa seemed to be tired of chatting with Joanna, and refused to speak anymore.
At that moment, Joanna suddenly felt that she could understand Isha's feelings and frustration.
It is true that Isa is stronger than her in every aspect, but in the face of unknowns and dangers, Isa is just as powerless as she is.The world always needs heroes to stand up and save, but unfortunately, people who love heroes are not capable of saving their sweethearts.
Joanna became very depressed, even more depressed than the moment she saw Harley in Arkham Hospital.
"Uh... Ethan and the others are ready to discuss the action plan." Benji appeared at the entrance of the terrace. Although he was talking to the two of them, he focused most of his attention on Isa.
Yisha said "Got it" while turning around and walking down.
Joanna waited for a while before returning to the restaurant.
When Joanna arrived at the restaurant, everyone was discussing enthusiastically.Seeing Joanna coming down, Natasha just glanced at her, and then threw herself into bargaining with Ethan again.And Steve, the first time he saw Joanna, he waved to her, or stood up to greet her.But the discussion of his companions quickly diverted his attention.He took his attention away from Joanna a little restlessly and returned to the discussion session.
Joanna remained silent, returned to the corner where she started, and sat quietly without saying a word.
Isn't it?A slag with 0 combat effectiveness has no right to speak.
It wasn't until the discussion was over that Natasha asked conclusively, "Do you have any comments? Huh?"
Everyone shook their heads lightly.
Natasha finally had time to look at Joanna at this moment: "Joanna? What about you? You and the captain and Benji are working together, is it okay?"
"One group?"
"Yes, in order to ensure safety, we split up. In this way, even if one group is targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D., the other group can get to their secret base."
"Secret base?"
"Ah, about that..." Luthor said, "I can be responsible for finding out. However, I can't fully guarantee that SHIELD won't find me."
They explained as if Joanna was online all the time, but in fact, Joanna couldn't understand a word.
What can be done?She's just a little tail anyway.What do you guys say!
Joanna nodded melancholy: "I'm fine."
Luthor is very mobile.As soon as the meeting ended, he immediately started to crack the data disk, and under Natasha's guidance, he successfully found the destination in no more than 10 minutes.Ethan and Steve each held a piece of data, and got into two cars separately.
And Joanna, sitting in the back seat of Steve's car.Sitting in the co-pilot was Benji who kept nagging when he was nervous.
Although he tried to appear calm, his chattering mouth gave away his emotions.
Almost as soon as Steve started the car, Benji began to gossip with Joanna in the back seat in a sideways posture: "What did you and Isa say upstairs?"
"nothing much."
"Come on, Rickman. It's not the first time I've come into contact with Isa. I still don't know what happened between her and Ethan?"
Joanna thought to herself, you know what else are you asking me for?
"She likes Ethan! Absolutely. Poor Isa, she completely misunderstood the imaginary enemy. Ethan saved you out of morality, and he hasn't forgotten Julia until now." When Benji said this, Unlimited regret on the face.
Steve, who was holding the steering wheel, felt that this was a bit...not right.He couldn't help raising his eyes and looked at Joanna in the rearview mirror.
Joanna happened to be secretly looking at Steve, and her eyes suddenly met. She couldn't help shivering, and her voice was a little weird.
"what do you mean!"
Benji turned around and said, "You don't like Ethan too, do you? Please, don't be stupid. The situation is complicated enough."
There was a car in front of them blocking their way, and Steve stepped on the gas pedal and passed.
The sudden acceleration made Joanna almost lose her center of gravity.She pulled the back of the chair and stared at Benji: "Shut up, you!"

Ethan glanced at Benji in disapproval, and Benji shrank his neck and fell silent.
