"How do you feel?" Natasha looked more aggressive when she put on a formal suit than when she was on a mission.When performing tasks on weekdays, in order to blend into the environment, it is inevitable that you need to restrain your aura.But today's work does not require Natasha to restrain her momentum.Especially when she was standing beside a Joanna who had never been on a battlefield.

Joanna took a deep breath: "A little flustered."

Natasha smiled and acted very confidently: "Don't be afraid, you are the Joanna Rickman who has made all the reporters so angry that she dare not easily ask questions at the press conference."

Joanna smiled, but she still looked very nervous: "There is no need to win or lose the press conference. When the situation is not right, I just need to read the manuscript safely."

Natasha patted Joanna on the shoulder: "If you think about it this way, you are different now. You have..."

"Stop!" Joanna yelled hastily, "I'll be more nervous if you bring that up."

Natasha looked at Joanna with worried eyes.

Joanna looked back at Natasha without speaking.

After a while, Natasha, who understood, squeezed Joanna's arm reassuringly: "I'm here. When the situation is not right, just keep quiet."

"Is it possible? You finally decided to let me come, isn't it because of...that power?"

"There are reasons for that, but it's not entirely like that. Joanna, we can't avoid that force, but you have to learn how to use it to control it." Natasha said quickly while leading Joanna to the conference room , "We cannot be passive. Especially at this juncture."

Joanna couldn't help sighing when she heard the words: "Mr. Stark, what's going on?"

Speaking of this, even Natasha seemed a little depressed: "Fortunately, he is fine. Now it is not a matter of entanglement with Stark's attitude. The top priority is to get rid of these guys in Congress, especially Stark's ambiguous attitude now. , we can’t take it lightly.”

Joanna took a deep breath: "After chatting for a long time, I became more nervous."

Natasha held onto the doorknob of the conference room, and looked back at Joanna: "Are you ready?"

Joanna blinked, with despair on her face: "It's impossible to get ready. But... just come on like this, it's just a fight anyway."

Natasha smiled at Joanna and pushed open the door of the meeting room.

The conference room was quiet for a few seconds because of the sudden movement.Immediately, a paunchy congressman raised his hand to adjust his tie, then walked around the conference table, walked to the chair near the main seat, and sat down.

Immediately afterwards, everyone else in the meeting room followed suit.Everyone returned to their seats one after another and sat down, chatting and amusing with their colleagues from time to time.

But during the whole process, no one spoke to Natasha and Joanna.

It's not that Joanna has never seen this scene. She had already experienced it when she first joined the public relations department.Looking back, the bullying at school when I was young is probably similar to this.

Joanna glanced at Natasha helplessly. Natasha didn't seem to care. She just smiled and patted Joanna on the shoulder, leading her to sit down where they belonged.

There were several cameras set up on the periphery of the conference room against the wall, but Joanna watched for a while, but she didn't see any reporters.

The potbellied man who returned to his seat first cleared his throat after seeking the opinion of the man in the main seat: "Since everyone is here, let's start the questioning meeting now."

Joanna turned her head and quickly whispered in Natasha's ear, "Can I make a mess?"

Natasha smiled: "Aren't we here to make trouble today?"

Upon hearing this, Joanna raised her right hand and interrupted the man loudly: "Sorry! Excuse me, uh...Mr. Acheson."

Acheson showed an unhappy expression, staring at Joanna with dark eyes.

Joanna pointed to the surrounding cameras: "What is this circle?"

"Recording camera for today's inquiry."

Joanna had an "I see" expression: "Who recorded it for? I mean, after writing down things, there must be a storage place, a custodial unit."

Acheson replied blankly: "Of course it is kept by the Inquiry Committee."

Joanna nodded, raised her hand and took out her mobile phone, turned on the camera, and put it on the table: "In this case, if you don't mind, I will keep a record."

There was a sudden commotion in the venue, and Acheson suppressed his anger and said, "This is not an occasion for you to joke."

"I'm not joking. You need to keep a backup, and I also need to have a backup. Or because this is an inquiry meeting held by you, I am one level lower than you, and I don't deserve to have a backup?"

"Nonsense! Who knows what you'll do with the video?"

"What can you do? Post it on the Internet! I suggest that you can do the same. If it doesn't work, we can also have a battle on the Internet to see who is more popular. Or... let's just start now Live broadcast!"

Acheson's face turned red with anger.Before Joanna's phone was turned off, the camera was pointing directly at him.Acheson had a hard time facing the small camera.He didn't want to leave any handle at this time.Acheson looked helplessly at the person in the main seat.

The man sitting in the main seat didn't panic at all. He looked at Acheson and Joanna as if he was looking at two kindergarten children.He ignored the two of them at all, and asked Natasha directly: "Is there any preparation that we haven't done properly? Is this lady?"

Natasha smiled: "Joanna Rickman."

"Oh, that spokesperson. I've heard of it." The man looked at Joanna, "So, in the end, you still chose to stand up for S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"It's not about getting ahead. It's about seeking truth from facts." Joanna answered neither humble nor overbearing, although in her heart, she also felt that the S.H.I.E.L.D.

The man nodded, indicating that he had fully understood what Joanna meant.He behaved comfortably and modestly, which formed a considerable contrast with that Acheson.

Acheson showed a slightly humble attitude, and asked softly: "Mr. Lauder, look at this..."

"Since Ms. Rickman wants to record it, let her record it. Anyway, this is the last time she will speak for S.H.I.E.L.D."

Joanna pretended to be polite, then adjusted the position of the mobile phone, then sat on the seat generously, waiting for the questioning session to start.

Acheson cleared his throat and said, "The special inquiry will start now", then flipped through the paper documents in his hand, then looked up at Natasha and said, "On April 4th, the SHIELD headquarters The destruction, the Avengers were involved. Right?"

When Joanna heard this question, she immediately felt that something was wrong.At the beginning, she received news that Steve and Nick had reached a consensus to completely end S.H.I.E.L.D., and Congress tried to reorganize S.H.I.E.L.D. based on the reason that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been costly since its establishment.She thought with all her heart that the focus of today's controversy was what stupid things S.H.I.E.L.D. did!But I never expected that the other party would talk about the Avengers as soon as they came.And look at this posture, it seems that they intend to make the Avengers pay for the building!

Joanna approached Natasha's ear and asked softly, "This is a question aimed at the Avengers."

Natasha didn't panic at all, she took a deep breath, and nodded slightly to Acheson and the others: "Although this is not an action of the Avengers, but... yes, my fellow Avengers and I Steve Rogers was involved."

Acheson nodded, and said to the recorder at the side: "Remember, the Avengers participated in the attack on SHIELD."

Joanna's eyes widened, and she involuntarily pushed the mobile phone in front of her, then raised her eyebrows at Acheson.Acheson coughed a little uneasily, and continued to ask: "Was the attack on April 4 planned or planned?"

Natasha's face became very serious. She stared at Acheson without replying.

Joanna thought for a while, then tilted her head and asked softly, "How about I come?"

Natasha glanced at Joanna and nodded slightly.

Joanna cleared her throat: "I want to correct something, this time..."

"Sorry, Miss Rickman. We are questioning Agent Romanoff."

"First, S.H.I.E.L.D. is finished, so there is no such thing as an agent. Second, you didn't say that the question was for Natasha before you asked the question. Why? I can't answer it?" Joanna said As soon as the polite expression was put away, his expression immediately sank, "I've been working in public relations for such a long time, and I've seen a lot of troublesome reporters asking questions. This is the first time I've seen someone like you who blatantly discriminates."

Acheson opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Joanna.

"I found out as soon as I entered the conference room. There is no woman here except me and Natasha. What? The affirmative work in Congress hasn't done as well as the special operations department of the former S.H.I.E.L.D."

Acheson stared at Joanna: "The focus of our discussion today is revenge..."

"Revenge? What kind of revenge? S.H.I.E.L.D. was eroded by Hydra, and Captain America took the lead in eradicating it. You are talking about revenge now? Do you want revenge from Captain America? Let me remind you, there are Captain America memorials in major cities! You Are you planning to take revenge on this hero of World War II, the idol of the people? Because he wiped out the remnants of Hydra." Joanna showed a suddenly realized expression, "It turns out that there are also Hydras in Congress!"

"You talk nonsense!" Acheson stretched out his index finger angrily, pointing directly at Joanna's face.

Joanna spread her hands innocently: "I'm making a reasonable guess. A normal person would speculate like this."

"I didn't say 'revenge'."

"That won't work. When you said revenge just now, everyone heard it."

"That's why you didn't let me finish my sentence."

Joanna showed a tangled expression: "Then we didn't say something like 'the Avengers were involved in the attack on S.H.I.E.L.D.'."

Acheson stared at Joanna as if looking at a nuisance.

"Questions?"

Acheson flipped through the documents in his hand, and said in an unpleasant tone: "Even if this is the case, the Avengers must be responsible for this. The S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot be withdrawn. The Avengers need organizational supervision."
