[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Joanna thought that after she tore off the note with the phone number written on it, there would be no intersection with Ross.After all, the opponent's intentions are obvious, and they are targeting the Avengers.No matter how you look at it, it's not worth fighting with her, a small public relations person.If you waste time and don't talk about it, you will still have to suffer if you are not careful.Under normal circumstances, Rose should have completely forgotten about her.

But the development of things is obviously not the same as Joanna expected.

On the fifth day after Joanna tore up the sticky note, Steve and others received intelligence that Hydra activity was discovered in France.A group of people took the Kunming plane and left Fulian Building in a mighty way.Because the location is in an EU country, in order to avoid unnecessary attention, everyone needs to avoid large-scale frontal conflicts, so Banner and Tony are left in the Avengers Building.

After Joanna finished dealing with the PR department, she slipped to the top floor of Fulian Building to find some snacks as usual. Unexpectedly, she happened to meet Tony and Banner who were complaining about their teammates with coffee on the top floor.Of course, the groove is all Tony spitting, and Banner's main function is to drink coffee and let Tony's words go in his left ear and out his right ear.

Seeing Joanna go upstairs, Tony temporarily let go of poor Banner and greeted Joanna instead.

"I heard that Rose really went to look for you on the 27th floor that day?"

Joanna paused with her sugary fingers, and then asked a little dissatisfied: "What do you mean 'I really went to the 27th floor to find me'?"

Tony shrugged: "I thought the captain would follow him, so he wouldn't bother you."

Joanna glanced down at Banner, who was drinking coffee without looking at them, and then winked at Tony.

Tony glanced at Banner: "I thought that as long as you speak ill of Rose, you don't need to avoid him."

"What? Are you talking about me?" Banner raised his head belatedly, and then said in a somewhat bewildered tone, "Oh, Joanna, it's okay. I just don't want to see that person. You don't need Special care about me."

"But after all, he is..." Joanna didn't say the following words, she felt that Tibanna's ex-wife was not alone at the moment.So she lowered her head and pretended to drink coffee, just like that.

Tony saw that Banner really didn't care much about talking about Rose, and he was really curious about the conversation between Rose and Joanna that day.So he didn't let go of this topic, but chose to ask questions.

"So, what did he tell you?" Tony looked at Joanna curiously.

"It's nothing." Joanna shrugged, "It's just that Yin Yang came here to apologize for his friend Fortson."

"That congressman that you hated so much that he didn't dare to go on the show?"

Joanna took a sip of coffee and nodded: "Speaking of which, what exactly did he come to Fulian Building that day? Don't tell me that he came here specially to find me?"

"I said he came here specially to find you, would you be afraid?"

"I will regret that I didn't say a few more words to him." Joanna rolled her eyes.

Tony was amused by Joanna and laughed.

"Didn't the captain tell you?"

Joanna pursed her mouth: "I said it. But I didn't say it very clearly. He only said that the government intends to annex the Avengers."

Tony sighed.

"What's wrong?" Joanna tilted her head in confusion, "Isn't that so?"

"That's right. It's just..." Tony looked at Banner, then shook his head at Joanna, "It's just that I think the other party will be difficult."

Joanna didn't believe what Tony said at all, she didn't think Tony sighed so worriedly just because he was going to be difficult.But when she saw that Tony was a little wary of Banner's side, she didn't say much. She drank her coffee and went downstairs.

Ross' phone rang just as Joanna was back in the office.

The phone number on the caller ID looked familiar, but Joanna thought about it for a while but couldn't remember whose phone number it was.She didn't keep the person on the other side waiting for too long, and her memory was fruitless, so she answered the phone decisively and asked, "Hello, who is it?"

"Hello, Miss Rickman." Rose's annoying voice rang through the receiver.

"Sorry, I don't know you, you probably made the wrong number."

"Don't rush to hang up the phone. Miss Rickman." It sounds like Rose is in a good mood now, at least he seems quite confident about what will happen next, "I thought you would call me. But let I'm disappointed you made an unwise choice."

Joanna sneered: "I can be very wise about my choice."

Ross laughed on the phone: "I'm glad you are so confident in your choice. This at least proves that you are a very firm person. Loyal. with a tragic end."

"I thought your good friend Senator Fortson told you that I like to swear." Joanna held the phone and issued an ultimatum.

"It doesn't have to be like this between us. Miss Rickman. I'm here to provide a way out for you who are in a desperate situation."

Joanna didn't like the other party's mysterious attitude, but she still couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?"

"The Avengers. Ms. Rickman, maybe only you and Stark in the entire Avengers can understand the plight of the alliance. I mean the real plight." Rose's voice sounded cold, like the end of winter Iron Chain of Frost, "Last time I tried to explain their situation to all the Avengers, but obviously, not many can really realize the problem. But I think you can realize it. Or, you have already Got it."

"General Ross, have you been fooling people like this before? I have to tell you, I'm not the type to be fooled."

Ross laughed lowly on the other end of the phone: "Of course. Of course you are not. Then I will tell you directly. The Avengers have no other way out except accepting the supervision of the government."

"Really?"

"Yes. Moreover, once the Avengers refuse, the end will be miserable." Rose's voice gave a chill down the spine, "Joanna Rickman, you used to work for S.H.I.E.L.D. and also for the Avengers .Please tell me based on your work experience, who is the person who has caused the most trouble with S.H.I.E.L.D.? Who is the person who has caused the most trouble with the Avengers?"

"Looking for trouble?" Joanna rolled her eyes and thought for a while, "Congress."

"Hahahaha, Congress? This is such a lovely answer. Miss Rickman, please tell me, is your job explaining Congress? Do you think members of Congress don't know the value of the Avengers Alliance Do you think those of us who have been shouldering the responsibility of citizen security before superheroes come out, don’t know how heavy the work of defending our homeland is? Do you think we are asking the Avengers?”

Of course Joanna knew that the answer to this series of questions was no.But she didn't answer.She didn't know how to answer.It was precisely because she understood Rose's words that she had nothing to say at the moment.

"I understand better than you, and I understand better than anyone in the Avengers. Enemies in the front can't kill us, only those who hide behind us can kill us."

"Pay attention to your remarks, General Ross." Joanna's tone became colder, "Who are you trying to trick those who need protection?"

"No, Joanna Rickman. You know what I mean. Whether it's us, or the Avengers, no one can point the finger at those who can really kill us." He felt a sense of desolation that did not match him at all, "This is the fate of a soldier, and it is also the fate of a hero."

Joanna held the phone, lost in thought.

On the other end of the phone, Ross continued to lobby: "Stark has somewhat understood this truth, but he is not clear enough, and he still has doubts about the optimal solution. Regarding this, considering everything he has experienced , and the actions of my lesser-known teammates in the past, I don't want to blame him too much. Put your handsome boyfriend, Captain America. You know, I know Captain America, everyone knows him, He can't accept the fact that he can't accept the point of view. He's not like you. He can't see potential danger. Joanna Rickman, if you want to protect the Avengers, you have to see where the damage is coming from. "

Joanna felt that her mind was empty, but she still couldn't help saying: "Are you going to use such lame logic to convince me?"

"Let the government supervise the Avengers, this is the best solution. Let the government be the shield that separates the Avengers and the people. Only in this way can the Avengers be preserved."

Joanna was quiet for a long time, and Ross on the other end of the phone didn't speak anymore.

Both fell silent.

And silence is a hotbed for pregnant|breeding demons|ghosts.Somehow, Joanna felt that something terrible was gradually taking shape.

She came back to her senses suddenly, as if she was frightened by something, she pressed the phone quickly, and then threw the phone far away.

Sitting on the office chair, she felt her heart beating fast.

It's not the kind of rapid heartbeat after exercising, and it's different from the excited | rapid heartbeat after drinking a lot of spirits, and it's not even simply the frantic beating after being taken aback.

It was a fear mixed with excitement.

Excitedly, she found that she had found a solution to her problem.

To her horror, someone actually saw through her thoughts.

And that person wasn't Steve.

At that moment, Joanna didn't know whether she felt more lost or more fortunate.
