Joanna behaved perfectly naturally.Throughout the breakfast time, Steve failed to notice Joanna's strangeness.But Joanna has always had a worry in her heart, that is... If the subtext of Steve buying her a toothbrush towel is "how about we live together", how should she refuse next.

The locket made Joanna feel a little nervous, but the feeling was the reason, and she didn't want to break up with Steve because of such a thing.It's not illegal for a boyfriend to leave a photo of his ex-girlfriend, and besides, Steve didn't put the photo of his ex-girlfriend in front of her face and say, "Look! My ex-girlfriend! She's beautiful!"

After all, she herself shouldn't be so curious and steal other people's things.Now the pendant was a piece of burnt asparagus in a bowl.Throw it out, it hurts the face of the chef a bit; don't throw it away, it's really disgusting to put it in a bowl.

Joanna could only force herself to focus on other places, not to think about the asparagus that would affect her appetite just by looking at it.

Where can we put our attention?

Left and right are just...Steve's face, or...Steve's chest.

Joanna stared at Steve across the table, as if planning to eat him alive.

Steve had a rather frightening taste for breakfast.He always felt that Joanna on the other side of the table would pounce on him and kiss him if she didn't pay attention.

The two had just finished their food, and before Steve could clear the dishes, the phone rang suddenly.

Steve glanced at the incoming call, did not avoid it, and answered the call in front of Joanna.

"Natasha, what's wrong?"

When Joanna heard that it was Natasha's call, she consciously picked up the empty plate and bowl in front of the two of them, and said to Steve with her lips: "You guys are chatting, I'm going to wash the dishes."

Steve stretched out his hand to stop Joanna, but what Natasha said on the other end of the phone made him unable to take his mind off of Joanna.

"Is Joanna still with you?"

Natasha's tone was very solemn, and Steve couldn't help but glanced at Joanna who was walking towards the kitchen with a plate, and then gave a soft "hmm".

"It's okay with you." Natasha breathed a sigh of relief, "Steve, I'm afraid things are a little troublesome. The guys in Congress have already noticed Joanna's ability."

Steve looked at Joanna who was packing up in the kitchen again, got up and walked to the window farthest from the kitchen, and asked in a low voice, "How much do they know?"

"Not too much. They got it all wrong, thinking that Joanna was..." Natasha sighed, not knowing whether she was worried about Joanna or regretting that the members of Congress were a bunch of idiots, "They thought Joanna was a bunch of idiots." Ana is a mutant."

"what?"

"They thought it was Joanna's innate ability, guessing that Joanna would have telepathy or mind control."

"So, they don't know about Lucifer."

Natasha sighed, she only felt that the righteous Steve, when he didn't see the hatefulness of those politicians, was really naive... almost like Joanna.

"Captain, this is the most troublesome part." Natasha took the phone and walked to the window, looking at the bustling street scene outside the window, "The government set up a special research team and response team in order to control mutants. .Although humans and mutants have lived in peace these years, it is based on Professor Xavier's assurance to the government that he will reasonably restrict the behavior of mutants, prevent mutants from showing their abilities among humans, and not cause panic among humans. Now They mistook Joanna for a mutant, and Joanna also showed the 'ability' they mistook for in Congress, I'm afraid that in addition to listing Joanna as a dangerous person, they also..."

"It will also trigger a war between humans and mutants." Steve took Natasha's words in a heavy tone.After a while, he asked calmly, "What are they going to do now? Arrest Joanna?"

"No one has made such a direct suggestion yet. But someone has suggested contacting the X-Men."

Steve pondered for a moment: "Do you think there will be trouble if you contact the X-Men?"

"The relationship between humans and mutants is inherently delicate. Although the X-Men get along better with humans than the guys in the Brotherhood, after all...Steve, we have to prepare for the worst."

Joanna in the kitchen had finished washing the dishes and was wiping the dishes with a rag before putting them in the cupboard one by one.Porcelain collided with porcelain, making a pleasant sound.Looking at Joanna's figure, Steve felt a pang of guilt in his heart.

"What is the worst plan?" Although Steve was discussing countermeasures with Natasha, because of his resistance to this fact, his tone was full of displeasure.

Natasha knew that Steve was in a bad mood at the moment, so she softened her tone and said, "Although it's unlikely, if those guys in Congress treat Joanna as a mutant, we have to... find a safe person as soon as possible." A place for Joanna to avoid."

"Avoid it?" Steve asked in a raised tone.Even though he tried his best to suppress it, Natasha on the other end of the phone could hear Steve's anger.

"Captain, this is... the most appropriate way."

Steve held the phone and didn't answer the call.

"The relationship between humans and mutants is inherently fragile. There are many guys in Congress who want to wipe out all mutants in one fell swoop, and there are also many extremists among mutants who want to drive humans to extinction." Natasha sighed "It doesn't matter where Joanna's super powers come from, whether she is a mutant or not. For those people, it doesn't matter at all. They just need an excuse to start a war, and Joanna, right now, is the absolute It’s a good excuse. Captain, even the Avengers cannot handle such a big matter.”

Joanna had finished packing and was wiping her wet hands with a handkerchief.She lowered her head halfway, leaving Steve with a serious profile.

Steve sighed, "Do you have a suggestion for a suitable place?"

"Los Angeles." Natasha heard Steve finally let go, and couldn't help but speed up her speech, "If you agree, I can contact Ms. Dirk now. She will explain the situation to Lucifer. Lucifer is in charge of the things, so it is most appropriate to entrust him with this matter."

Steve didn't say yes, and he didn't say bad.After wiping her hands clean, Joanna looked up at Steve.He probably didn't expect Steve's phone call to take so long, so he tilted his head at Steve with some doubts.

Steve met Joanna's confused gaze with a gentle smile.But his tone was extremely heavy: "I see, I will discuss it with her."

Steve hung up the phone and walked to the kitchen door: "Sorry, I didn't expect you to clean up the kitchen for your first breakfast here."

What Steve said was a bit ambiguous. The guess brought by the toothbrush and towel in the morning has not been completely forgotten at the moment. Hearing what Steve said, Joanna suddenly felt a little flustered.Taking the opportunity of turning around to put down the handkerchief, she avoided Steve's sight, adjusted her mood and said, "What's the matter! When you lived in my house, I let you sleep on the sofa!"

Steve smiled.But that smile didn't last too long, he had already worked very hard to perform this short 1 minute of joy.The news that Natasha brought can be said to have ruined the good mood of the day.He originally thought that this would be a warm day for him and Joanna to enhance their relationship. Who would have thought that...

Steve frowned, as if struggling with how to ask his friend to pay back the money.

Joanna felt something was wrong when she saw Steve's expression.Half worried and half defensive, she asked, "What happened?"

Steve sighed and nodded at Joanna.Then he turned around and pointed to the sofa: "Sit down and chat slowly."

Joanna raised her hand and refused: "No, let's just say it this way. I'm even more flustered when I'm sitting."

"Joanna, it's not that scary. It's just that something happened. I need to understand your wishes first."

"It's definitely not a trivial matter that Captain America thinks to 'sit and talk slowly'."

Steve turned his head to look at her: "Maybe he thinks that all your affairs are worthy of serious treatment?"

It's early in the morning, and you're still being teased by the cook after you've eaten your fill?If it wasn't for the fact that the window was wide open at the moment, and there was another World War II veteran who was always paying attention to his words and deeds standing opposite, how could she, Joanna, bear it?

That must be unbearable!It's light enough to pounce on and take off clothes!The spring is bright and the body is hot. If she doesn't play tricks today, how can she be worthy of herself? !

It took a great deal of effort for Joanna to get those beautiful thoughts out of her head.

For a moment, she even felt that maybe she slept with Steve today, and it might not be that Steve will forget the beauty in the locket the next day.She almost took a step forward and shouted "I can" because of this unfounded guess.

Steve saw Joanna's cheeks flush slightly, and knew that what he said just now had pleased her.Realizing this, he couldn't help laughing.He seldom talks about love, and he also considers himself an uninteresting person, but to Joanna, it seems that he will say something that makes Joanna's cheeks flush from time to time.It's not that he's glib, but...he thinks it makes sense from the bottom of his heart.Joanna just gave him the opportunity and courage to speak these words.

Steve slowly put away his smile, and looked at Joanna with a guilty look: "What are you going to... do next?"

"what?"

"I mean, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't exist anymore. What are you going to do... from now on?"

After being reminded by Steve, Joanna just now remembered that she was still a poor wretch with nowhere to go.

Unlike Steve, she has filled up her job-seeking skill points, and she can do everything from painting, fighting, photography, and cooking. If he said that he was going to debut as a star, Joanna would not do it because of his figure and appearance Accident.

She is also not like Natasha and Coulson, she has excellent professional skills, even if she can't find a job in the secret service organization, she will be absolutely fine even if she goes out to be a bounty hunter or killer.

She, Joanna Rickman, does simple administrative work and stalking people.

And based on her performance in Congress, I'm afraid... all administrative departments will not recruit her again.

Thinking of this, Joanna felt sad.

"I don't know, one step at a time is counted as one step at a time. I really can't... I'm going to be an Internet celebrity? The kind that broadcasts cursing people."
