"Hi, Steve." Joanna turned around, took Steve's arm naturally, raised her face, and gave Steve a sweet smile.

Steve took a look at Joanna: "You look..."

"so gorgeous?"

Steve held Joanna's finger and squeezed it lightly: "Yes."

When Joanna heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.She just took Steve's arm and walked inside.Joanna didn't want to act like a narrow-minded girlfriend, but she felt that someone was targeting her boyfriend, and it seemed a little bit unreasonable not to give a look.

Joanna turned her head slightly and casually looked at the Asian woman at the door.The other party didn't seem to notice her interaction with Steve.To say the least, she didn't seem to care at all about the interaction between Joanna and Steve.She still had that kind of agitated yet elegant smile on the face of a little fan girl after seeing the male god.

She finally spoke as Joanna and Steve walked past her.

"Hi Saul. Let me guess, you probably can't remember my name, can you?"

Joanna:? ? ? ? ?what's the situation?Isn't it for Steve? !

Joanna turned her head, and only now noticed Thor, who came up with Steve.Looking back at the expression of the Asian beauty, Joanna finally realized that she had another oolong.She turned her face away in embarrassment, and dragged Steve into it in a hurry.

"Do you know Dr. Zhao?" Steve asked curiously.

"what?"

"Doctor Zhao at the door, do you know her?"

"No... no."

Steve frowned a little puzzled: "I always feel weird about you."

"How can you doubt your girlfriend like this." Joanna pursed her mouth pretending to be angry.

Natasha passed by the two of them and raised her eyebrows at Steve: "Trust me, your feeling is not wrong."

"Natasha!"

Natasha didn't pay attention to Joanna's threatening eyes. She shrugged innocently at the two and walked to the bar alone.

"You are the captain's girlfriend?"

A silver-haired man suddenly appeared in front of Joanna as if performing magic. If Steve hadn't sighed and called "Maximov" from the side, Joanna would have even reached out to touch his face See if it's some kind of hologram that Tony came up with.

The man Steve called "Maximov" looked like he was in his early 20s at most, and there was a boyish look in his eyes that was not afraid of anything.He just stood in front of Joanna and Steve in a somewhat disrespectful manner, preventing them from going anywhere.

"I haven't asked you yet..."

"Pietro Maximov." Pietro was not at all awkward about introducing himself. After he finished his name, he raised his chin in the direction behind Joanna, "That is my twin Sister, Wanda."

Joanna turned her head and saw a woman with wine red hair nodded slightly at her.The other party didn't seem as enthusiastic as Pietro, and even had a sense of alienation. She looked at Joanna quietly, without any intention of going forward to greet her.

"So, you are the captain's girlfriend, right?" Pietro, who never got an answer, asked again.

Joanna looked at Steve's helpless side face, and then replied: "Yes. I'm Joanna Rickman, nice to meet you."

Pietro held Joanna's outstretched hand: "I also heard that you are in charge of the public relations work of the Avengers. So, do you think the joining of Wanda and I will cause an explosion of public opinion? Huh?"

This was the first time Joanna had heard of it.She held back her eyebrows that were trying to raise, and then showed a formulaic smile: "I will try... to predict. But not now, and not today. After all, it is rare for me to take a break."

Pietro, who was fast but not good at lie detection, didn't realize that Joanna was perfunctory him. He shook Joanna's hand up and down twice: "If you need me to do anything, just ask. If you need me to attend A press conference is also possible."

"Uh……"

"Maximov, let's talk about this matter later." Seeing that Pietro's words were getting worse and worse, Steve quickly interjected and rescued Joanna.

The two got rid of the over-enthusiastic Pietro and walked to a quieter corner.

Joanna took two glasses of champagne from the waiter's tray: "Steve, I haven't received any news that the Avengers is preparing to recruit new people. I don't want you to play like this."

Steve took the champagne from Joanna and sighed: "It's the brothers and sisters who want to join. We haven't discussed this matter yet, so I didn't tell you. But Joanna, the Avengers will recruit sooner or later." Newcomer's."

"Because you guys started planning for retirement at a young age?" Joanna couldn't help joking.

"Because as you said, justice is not the responsibility of the few. It is certainly not the right of the few." Steve stared into Joanna's eyes and replied very seriously.

On the other side of the hall, Wanda took her overly emotional brother to occupy another corner.

"Pietro, don't be stupid. They have no intention of taking us in."

"How come? They have already brought us to the Avengers Building, hi invite us to their internal party."

"Look around you, there are all kinds of people. Do you believe this is an 'inside' party? We are just dispensable guests to them." Wanda looked around everything in the hall with calm eyes, " That Joanna's reaction just now has already explained everything."

"reaction?"

"Aren't you fast? Didn't you notice her unnatural expression at that moment? She didn't even know that we were going to join the Avengers."

"Maybe...the Avengers haven't thought of notifying her yet?"

"Or, the Avengers don't have this idea at all, so there is no need to inform her." Sensing Joanna from the other side of the hall looking over, Wanda raised her eyes and nodded at Joanna from afar.

Unlike the calm Wanda, Pietro is a master who has to solve any doubts immediately.

The moment Joanna and Wanda nodded to each other, he quickly moved from Wanda to Joanna.

Joanna couldn't help being startled when a big living person suddenly appeared in front of her again.But with the experience of last time, she calmed down quickly now.

"Hi, Pietro."

"You don't know we're joining the Avengers, do you?"

"Yes, they never mentioned it to me."

Pietro frowned: "Why?"

"You'll have to ask them. How would I know?"

"She's right. Kid, you're asking the wrong person." Tony, who walked over at some point, patted Pietro on the shoulder with a wine glass, and then handed him the wine in his hand, "You brothers and sisters We'll talk about joining the Avengers in two days. We don't want you to think that the Avengers make big decisions so hastily. Adding new members is a big deal. Especially special new members like you. "

Pietro looked at the wine in his glass: "Because we are mutants?"

"Because you are powerful."

Pietro looked up at Tony: "I hope so."

"It's always been like this." Tony patted Pietro on the shoulder again, "Can I have a chat with my friend alone?"

"of course."

As soon as the words fell, Pietro disappeared, and Tony also had an empty wine glass in his hand.

"I hate this kind of guy who stuffs things into other people's hands the most." Tony shook his head and put the wine glass aside, "Where's the captain?"

Joanna raised her chin in the direction of the second floor: "A friend of his is over, and the two of them are chatting upstairs."

Tony looked in the direction indicated by Joanna, and sure enough, he saw a black man standing beside Steve.

"The other party is a soldier?"

"Looks like a veteran. I don't remember exactly."

Tony sighed: "His friend downstairs is troublesome enough."

Joanna couldn't help but sigh when she mentioned her classmates in philosophy class.

"What? It's more troublesome than imagined?" Tony's tone had an exasperating schadenfreude.

Joanna was immersed in the pain caused by the philosophy class, so she didn't respond to Tony's gloating tone: "Trouble, more trouble than I imagined, just as troublesome as those philosophical theories."

Tony smiled and said nothing.

Pietro and Wanda in the distance are looking in Joanna's direction again.Joanna didn't like the feeling of being scrutinized, so she turned sideways a little uncomfortably: "The two brothers and sisters are looking at this side again."

"How can you be considered a spokesperson, is it really good to be afraid of other people's eyes?"

"It's not just any other person, it's a quasi-Avenger."

Tony took a sip of his wine and fell silent.

"Honestly, are you really planning to recruit new members of unknown origin like them? Is the other party an adult?"

"Look at that girl, and then look at you." Tony waved a finger with the hand holding the wine glass, pointing to Joanna's chest, "Do you think she is an adult?"

Joanna looked at her cheeks angrily: "That doesn't prove that they are adults. If you want me to say, they are all underage, you might as well absorb Peter! He is Spider-Man anyway, and he has a better public foundation. He will cause trouble in the future Yes, I'll take care of the aftermath too!"

Tony couldn't help but nodded: "I think what you said makes sense."

Joanna was taken aback, and quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no! Forget what I just said, I didn't mean that!"

Tony was about to say something when he saw a girl in a T-shirt and glasses standing nervously at the entrance.

Tony patted Joanna's arm lightly, and raised his chin toward the entrance: "Your people are at the door."

Joanna recognized the visitor as soon as she turned her head.She put down the drink in her hand and walked straight towards the entrance.

"Amber, what are you doing standing here? Come in quickly." Joanna noticed something was wrong just after she said this welcome sentence.Amber doesn't look like she's coming to a party.There were big beads of sweat on her unpainted face, and she looked like she just ran a marathon.

"What happened... What happened?" Joanna felt an ominous feeling in her heart.

Amber raised his hand and pointed to Tony in the distance: "I'm here to find Boss Stark. Something is wrong!"
