With iced coffee in hand, Joanna sat in a comfortable chair.The chair, which Happy had brought down from upstairs, faced the only high-tech piece of equipment in the room—the electronic cell.

There is a man in the cell.The man turned into ashes, and Joanna could recognize it.After all, she was chased by this man and fled ten streets that day!Streets of Gotham!It's not a street in a small town with a length of no more than 1 kilometer, but a long street in Gotham that is filled with the smell of capitalism!

Although... most of the journey was done by car.

The chairs are very comfortable.The structure of the whole chair is quite ergonomic, and the cushion covering the surface is moderately soft and hard, which makes people feel less inclined to get up after sitting down.

But even such a comfortable chair didn't make Joanna's brow relax half a point.

Because... the man in front of me with fierce eyes is really... too uncooperative!

At first, Joanna felt that her lying tongue could play a role, but when she communicated with the target person for half an hour and the other party did not fart, Joanna finally realized that this task was not as easy as she imagined Finish.

Feeling the pressure, Joanna recalled the look in Steve's eyes that day, the look that was a little bit scared but full of hope.

"Tsk."

Joanna pursed her lips impatiently and rolled her eyes under the murderous gaze of the other party.

Thinking of Steve's performance that day, Joanna was furious.I also blamed her for being too active in taking jobs.Looking back now, this guy in front of him is so important to Steve... a bit too much!As far as Steve's performance was concerned that day, Joanna felt that the relationship between herself and Halle might not be as good as one ten thousandth of the relationship between the two of them.

What is her relationship with Harley?Joanna felt that if Halle had been a man, she might have been married by now.However, in front of Steve and this killer, the little friendship between her and Harley seems... not enough.

Could it be that Steve...is a crooked man!

As she took her first sip of iced coffee, Joanna couldn't help but think this way.

I don't know if she was frightened by her own idea, or surprised by the coldness of the coffee.When the coffee reached her mouth, she couldn't help shaking.In this way, two drops of light brown liquid stained her upper lip.

Joanna put down her iced coffee, and started a long... staring with the man in the electronic cell.

At this moment, she wanted to ask about the relationship and past of this person with Steve.She wanted to know everything that she didn't know, that wasn't recorded in the Steve file or the Captain America Museum profile.Like, have they ever chased the same girl... or showered together or something.

Joanna wanted to know this.But he couldn't ask.Not to mention the current state, whether the person in front of her could respond to her, just because the guys upstairs paid attention to this matter, Joanna knew very well that she couldn't ask.Otherwise, when someone pointed to the video and asked her what was going on in her head, how would she answer?

She can't say that she suspects that her boyfriend is gay!

The people in the cell refused to have any verbal communication with Joanna.Joanna casually said a few more words to him, but still didn't get any valuable response.She could only sigh, stood up, and left the basement.

She took the elevator all the way up, but she was still thinking about the possible logical patterns in the killer's mind now.She is not suitable for such mind-consuming work, and she feels that she urgently needs to talk to a master-level expert.

"Jarvis, is Natasha upstairs now?" Joanna asked in the elevator.

"Ms. Romanov and Mr. attended the alliance establishment process negotiations. Do you need me to contact her?"

"No. What about... Steve?"

"Suspicious lethal weapons were found in Mexico. The captain and Agent Patton went to track down the source of the weapons."

For some reason, Joanna breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Steve was not in New York: "At this moment, there isn't a single Avenger in the building?"

"Dr. Banner came back two hours ago and is in his lab. Are you going to see him?"

Joanna didn't know whether Steve and the others had told Banner about the situation in the basement. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "Forget it, I have other things to do."

In the end, Joanna didn't take the elevator all the way to the high floors belonging to the Avengers.She got off the elevator on the twenty-seventh floor, which was Tony's floor for the PR department.

At Joanna's request, Tony did not prepare an office for her, but put John's desk in the office with the "Head of Public Relations" sign.

Joanna went straight to John's office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." John's slightly nervous voice came from inside.

Joanna pushed the door open and looked at John with a teasing smile: "When someone knocks on the door, you usually answer the door like this? You should really learn from Ms. Wilson."

"My God! Joanna, come in!" John hurriedly ushered Joanna into the door, "I just came to sit in this office the day before yesterday. I mean, what are you thinking, let Sta Mr. Ke hired me to work with you, but let me sit in the office of the person in charge. Are you digging a hole for me?"

Joanna sat down on John's office chair with a smile: "My God, this chair is so comfortable. Tony is really much more generous than S.H.I.E.L.D. when he spends money."

"Joanna." John sullenly said, "I'm telling you something serious."

"I heard." Joanna stood up and looked around everything in the office curiously, "Something happened to me, so I couldn't work as a spokesperson for Mr. Stark and the Avengers. Later I After thinking about it carefully, for the sake of prudence, I'd better not get involved with all the affairs of the public relations department. Only you and Amber know about my affairs. Amber is responsible for information collection, and you are supposed to be in charge of speaking. Yes, so...sorry."

John sat down on the visitor's sofa angrily: "I feel like I've been tricked."

"Isn't this great? Accumulate more experience, and you won't be fooled by those media in the future. You know, they are much more cunning than me when they go bad." Joanna said without any sincerity.

John, who realized that he would never get off the pirate ship, sighed heavily: "Then you are here today to arrange work?"

"Now that there is no media to mess with us, what kind of work can we have? No, of course I'm not here to arrange any work."

John had a dark face: "I said, can you pay attention to your wording?"

"John, you have to get used to it. It's best to learn from me. When I was in S.H.I.E.L.D., when I answered media questions, I paid attention to my wording. Sometimes you start to scold, and others dare not scold you. " Joanna couldn't help but sigh when she thought of Will, who she originally wanted to recruit into the team, "John, we only have you as the spokesperson. You can't be cowardly! When others scold you, they scold the Avengers Alliance, rounding it up, is tantamount to scolding your idol, Captain America. Can you bear it?"

"No."

"It's okay if you can't." Joanna was satisfied with John's answer, "I have something to trouble you today."

"what's up?"

"Can you introduce me to a job? You can answer the phone at any time and slip away. Under special circumstances, you can ask for ten and a half months of leave. The salary...just enough for me to pay the rent of an ordinary apartment in Queens."

John: ...are you fucking kidding me?

Tony and Natasha fought with the guys from the International Safety Committee for two days at the meeting, and they finally scolded the guys from the Safety Committee into silence for the time being.But both of them knew that those old foxes might counterattack at any time.What they have to do is to quickly complete the establishment of the Avengers Alliance before the other side launches the next attack.

Originally, this was a very simple matter, but since the S.H.I.E.L.D. incident, all forces have been eyeing the Avengers.Even a big man like Tony, who lived without fear, had to bow his head and pay attention to the paperwork in compromise.

The alliance's organizational form, decision-making process, and financial operations... a lot of troublesome things are waiting for them to solve one by one.

Tony misses Pep dearly.But it was this kind of nostalgia that made his work mood worse.He had to distract himself from Pep by focusing on other troubles.

And right now, the only other trouble he can think of is... the guy locked in the basement of Fulian.

"I don't know what's going on with Joanna." On the return bus, Natasha asked Tony in one sentence.

Tony pursed his lips: "To be honest, I don't have much hope for her."

"Why don't you check the surveillance first?" Natasha suggested.

Tony heard that, without delay, he took out his phone and tuned out the monitoring.Then the two found out...

Except for Joanna who stayed in the basement for 3 hours on the first day they left, there was no sign of her in the basement for the rest of the events!And during those 3 hours, she spent two hours drinking coffee and staring at the target person in a daze!

The expressions of Natasha and Tony instantly became a little speechless.

"Did I indulge my employees too much?" Tony looked at Natasha, "Is the KPI assessment no longer useful?"

Natasha pursed her mouth: "No, it's because you don't have any KPI assessment for her at all."

Tony turned off the monitor depressingly.

Reluctantly, Natasha could only take out her mobile phone and called Joanna.

"Hello? Natasha? Are you having trouble negotiating?"

"No. I just finished dealing with things here. I just wanted to know if you have time right now. Maybe we can... have dinner together or something?"

"Ah! Alright! About that guy in the cell in the basement, I'm trying to talk to someone too. I think that guy is a bit difficult to deal with. How about we meet somewhere?"

"Okay." Natasha raised her eyebrows at Tony, indicating that Joanna was not passively sabotaging her work, "Where are you now? Tony and I will pick you up."

"Uh...can you come alone? By the way, there are other things I want to tell you. I don't think it's very convenient for me to see him right now."

Both Natasha and Tony were taken aback for a moment, but it was Tony who reacted first.He parked the car next to the entrance of a subway station, and said to Natasha with a cold face, "Get out of the car."

Natasha: ? ? ? ? ?
