Joanna and Steve cooped up in the apartment for a day.Steve didn't feel too much about the experience of being blocked by people and unable to go out. Thinking back to when he was doing the task, he was more alert than now, and his nerves were always tense in the temporary place.
But obviously, Joanna is not used to this kind of life.Even she and the IMF team lived a few days of fleeing life.But today's events still make her unable to adapt.
Because someone was squatting outside the house, Steve closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, dug out snacks and drinks from the refrigerator, and watched a movie on the sofa with Joanna at home.
This was the first time that the two had gotten along so well since Steve came back from England.Although... it's only a superficial rapport.
The movie is wonderful, but Joanna can't watch it at all.She was preoccupied with thinking about how to deal with the troubles at hand.
She finally realized that the strength of the Avengers alone is not enough to start a war with the opponent.Those politicians in the government department have used all kinds of indecent methods, not only can they use them, but they have no psychological barriers.If the Avengers are alone, they are destined to be unable to defeat each other.
Joanna leaned on Steve's shoulder, sighing uncontrollably.
The movie's supporting cast laughed out loud at the goofy protagonist, but that joy didn't reach Steve and Joanna.Steve heard Joanna's involuntary sigh.He just gently rubbed the top of Joanna's hair with his cheek, without saying anything.
After two o'clock that night, Steve woke up Joanna, who was already asleep.
Joanna opened a pair of misty eyes, and said "hmm" twice in confusion.
Steve touched Joanna's head: "There is no one downstairs, I checked just now."
Joanna blinked, still a little confused.
"Let's go to the Avengers Tower. We'll have a place there, too."
Joanna finally woke up now.
Steve was right, cooped up in an apartment all the time is never a problem.She can direct the people in the PR department to handle the work through the Internet and the phone, but Steve can't.If there is any special event that requires Steve to come forward to deal with it, can he still be photographed by the group of stupid fans downstairs?Although they can let Pietro pick up.But in this case, the last thing you need is to drag the Avengers into this mess.
After waking up, Joanna got up quickly and decisively to pack her things without any delay.
After 10 minutes, the two went downstairs.
Taking advantage of the night, Steve and Joanna got into the SUV parked at the door downstairs.
The fact that Joanna was blocked at the door of her house had spread all over the Internet.Although Steve stared at her all day and didn't let her go online to read those messy news, after the two arrived at the Avengers Building, Joanna still searched all the videos and comments on the Internet.
It's her job to deal with public relations, and it's clear... her upfront work hasn't been as good as it should be.
At home, Steve can still think of ways to separate Joanna from the Internet.When he arrived at the workplace, he couldn't just hug her without a word of disagreement, and forcibly divert Joanna's attention.Besides, no matter how things develop, Joanna always has to face reality.
Steve didn't want Joanna to be hurt, but he couldn't completely deprive Joanna of her independence.
The next day, when it was time to go to work.Joanna sat in her office fully dressed.Her back was straightened, and her brows were slightly frowned.
But also, that's all.
Holding the tablet connected to the surveillance video, Steve stared at Joanna for more than half an hour, but he didn't see Joanna change her posture or expression.
He had expected Joanna to be angry or cry helplessly.But none of the things he feared happened.
For some reason, seeing Joanna with a serious face made Steve feel even more worried.
On the one hand, he is proud of Joanna's strength.
On the other hand, he also felt heartbroken for Joanna's strength.
The mixture of these two completely different emotions made Steve's expression extremely heavy.
Natasha on the side couldn't stand it any longer: "Captain, don't you look like you're watching your kids surfing the Internet, okay? You always give me the illusion that Joanna is actually a girl with internet addiction."
Steve turns off the tablet: "I'm just worried about her."
"Who isn't. But you also know that Joanna is not so easily defeated."
Steve lowered his eyebrows and didn't answer.
Tony and Wanda entered the meeting room while arguing.Both of them looked annoyed, and after sitting down, neither of them spoke first.
Steve observed the faces of the two of them: "What's wrong?"
Tony glanced at Wanda, seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, he took Steve's lead and said, "The X-Men want to cooperate with us. But Miss Maximov obviously disagrees."
Steve is a little confused: "I remember we've always had a good time with the X-Men."
"Correct me, we used to have a good time together." Wanda said indifferently, "When they know that there are mutants in the Avengers, this situation may change."
"Hey! I always thought that you two brothers and sisters were here to build bridges between us and mutants, not to erect high walls!" Tony said in a dissatisfied tone.
"Professor X. I don't think he's a good partner. Yes, he does try to have a good relationship with humans. But his good brother doesn't think so."
"Logan?"
"Magnetic King."
Tony shrugged: "I thought they were enemies."
"Yes, we have fought countless times, and no one has killed the opponent." Wanda sneered, "You don't want to be naive to believe that they are really opposites, do you?"
Natasha, who has been working for S.H.I.E.L.D. for a long time and is in charge of communicating with the outside world, cleared her throat uncomfortably: "I think I may know better than Captain and Tony about the two of them. Wanda, sometimes, people Relationships with people aren't simply good and bad. It can be...complicated."
Wanda raised her eyebrows indifferently: "It doesn't matter how complicated it is."
Tony looked curious: "Forgive me. Aren't we discussing the Avengers and the X-Men now? Why do you have to make all this seem like a grievance between you and Professor X? Could it be that you What's the past?"
"I don't have a past. I only have a future." Wanda stared at Tony and said word by word.
Tony let out a long breath through his nose, and then turned his face to the side: "Captain, let's talk about it. The critical moment is up. I also want to make a big news with the X-Men and divert the public's attention to us." The attention of the head of the public relations department! Let the netizens go on like this, and trouble will happen sooner or later."
Tony has high hopes for Steve.He felt that in the current situation, Steve would definitely be on his side.Not to mention, establishing a formal cooperative relationship with the X-Men will help divert public attention, and Steve will definitely nod in agreement with the convenience brought about by the cooperation between the two parties.In public or private, Steve has no reason to fight against him.
But Steve, who has never been very supportive of him, this time, still chose to be cautious first.
Steve pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Wanda: "Can I ask why? The reason why you reject the X-Men like this."
Wanda lowered her head halfway, and kept playing with the red magic energy with her fingers.In the eyes of outsiders, this is a kind of threat of red fruit.But in Steve's eyes, it was just the anxiety and hesitation shown by a girl who just joined the Avengers.Steve didn't rush, just waited quietly.
"Because of my father." The red magic energy on Wanda's fingertips went out.Like a feeble flame that has lost the force of its last statement.
Tony was startled by Wanda's answer and sat up straight: "Professor X is your father?"
"Magneto." Wanda closed her eyes and opened them after a while. This time, she seemed extremely calm, "Do you think this is a good thing? Do you think Professor X, who is good at reading minds, would not know?" Is it? With all due respect, the Avengers already have a lot of troubles to solve right now. If the identities of me and Pietro are exposed at this time, it will not benefit the Avengers at all."
The meeting room fell silent.
After a while, Natasha shook her head and stood up first: "It's a good attempt, but it seems we have to find some other alternatives."
Tony propped his chin up tiredly, and looked at Steve: "Why don't you and Joanna get married in a high-profile manner. Let's just make this incident an entertainment lace news."
Steve sighed and didn't answer.
Natasha looked at Tony with disapproval.
Tony shrugged innocently: "What can I do? I'm going to go get Bruce Wayne's girlfriend myself! I tried my best."
Steve held back for a long time, and finally just said, "I'll think of other ways."
It is different from the Avengers' way of thinking when they encounter difficulties in public opinion and go around detours.Joanna is a warrior who likes to be on the front.
She spent half a day in the office watching the unnutritious online comments and video forwarding, and sacrificed her lunch time to watch the reports and remarks of major news media on related events.
At around 02:30 in the afternoon, she called Clark Kent.
Clark felt a headache when he saw the calling number.He walked to the stairwell and pressed the answer button.
"Hey."
"Hello? That's it? Now that I'm suffering from cyber violence, don't you even care about it on the phone?"
Clark sighed: "Is there anything you can do with me?"
"I originally wanted to find someone else to handle this matter. However, I suddenly realized that I have no trusted media friends." Just when Clark was about to say, "Then don't treat me as a friend", he heard Joanna on the phone The other end quickly added, "But you are different. You are my coach. Even now, you haven't given me a serious lesson. Speaking of which, you are also responsible for this matter, as long as you teach me seriously, I will It’s not impossible to avoid the critical attack of that carton of milk.”
Clark: ...
