[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Joanna chose not to have an open and honest conversation with Steve.On the one hand, she instinctively felt that she couldn't convince Steve.On the other hand, she didn't want Steve to come out and wrestle with the other Avengers for his own reasons.

Yes, Joanna understands very well that no Avenger will easily agree to the solution she is optimistic about, including Tony Stark, who she is going to test out.

When Joanna ran to the door of Tony Stark's studio with a cup of coffee in her hand and leaned against the doorframe during working hours, she still couldn't help calling herself a scum in her heart.

But she didn't show much on her face, she just quietly looked at Tony, who was enthusiastically developing in the studio, without any extra expression on her face.

Joanna peeped at herself at the door, no, it should be said that she was looking at herself.

Tony has noticed this since Joanna appeared.The other party didn't speak, so he pretended not to know.He would like to see today, this guy is not in the office during working hours, nor is he looking for her boyfriend, but ran to the door of his studio to sell some medicine.

The two of them seemed to be secretly competing for patience, neither of them would speak first.

In the end, Tony, who was still vigorous and resolute, was defeated first.

"Are you going to be a watchdog?"

"You boss, you have a mean mouth!" Joanna responded, lazily stood up straight, and stepped into the studio.

"I let you in?"

"I just watched you at the door for a while! Why are you targeting me like this?"

Tony snorted and picked up his mug to refill his coffee.

"During working hours, if you don't have work to do, you can harass your boyfriend. What are you doing here?" Tony poured himself a cup of coffee, then turned around, raised the coffee pot in his hand slightly, and looked at Joanna questioningly.

Joanna shook her head: "There's still half a glass left! Thanks!"

Tony returned to his seat and spread it loosely on the work chair: "Well, how much do you want to raise your salary?"

Joanna sighed, and sat casually on the workbench: "I want to... chat with you?"

Tony looked at Joanna suspiciously: "What are you talking about?"

Joanna looked at Tony quietly for a long time, and finally said with some difficulty: "That agreement."

Tony seemed to be poked with a sharp pencil tip, and instantly bounced off the chair: "Agreement?!"

Joanna looked helpless: "You don't have to react so much, you heard what I said, that is, there is nothing wrong with the agreement. The agreement brought by Ross."

Tony sighed, sat back in the chair, raised his hand to cover his eyes: "The captain asked you to come?"

Joanna said in a calm tone: "No, I haven't discussed this issue with him. I decided to come to you."

Tony moved his hand away and looked at Joanna in surprise.

Joanna still looked as stable as an old dog, and she said in a voice with little ups and downs: "I think we can consider accepting that agreement."

Tony stared at Joanna for a long time, as if looking at someone he didn't know: "Are you serious?"

Joanna nodded.After nodding her head, she thought about it again, and took out the converter from her pocket: "Do I need to put this on? You know, just in case..."

The converters were all touched out.

It seems that Joanna is serious, and it's really amazing.There is a posture of "I don't rely on my own ability to convince you today, I will take your surname".

Tony was silent for a while, and finally shook his head slightly: "Don't make me look like the kind of guy who doesn't even have basic trust in his subordinates."

Joanna looked at the converter in her hand for a while, and finally put it on her ear: "It's better to wear it, I'm not very...confident recently."

Tony glanced at Joanna, but didn't stop her.

The converter works very efficiently, and Joanna has made full preparations before coming.She didn't "speak" unnecessary nonsense, and simply and crudely listed the current predicament and disadvantages of the Avengers Alliance, as well as... the benefits that the agreement can bring.

The number of words is not many, adding up to less than a thousand words.

But Tony stared at the reason of less than a thousand words and fell into a long silence.

After a long time, he raised his head and said softly: "You forgot to list the disadvantages of accepting the agreement."

Joanna lowered her head: "Well, everyone is very clear, isn't it?"

Tony felt a headache in his head, and he didn't know if it was the incident or simply lack of sleep.He sighed: "The captain and the others will not accept this agreement. You know this better than me."

"I just want to hear your opinion now."

Tony sighed again. "I don't know. I don't even know if it's okay for us to discuss the agreement behind everyone's back."

"Before formally raising the issue, everyone should have a moment to discuss it in private, isn't it right? If you all agree to accept the agreement, why should I stand up and find embarrassment alone?" Joanna quickly stopped talking, and then Added in a low voice, "Sorry, I should have used the converter just now."

Tony wiped his face: "It's okay, that's not the most important part. You mean, from a PR perspective, you think the Avengers should cooperate with the government. Right?"

Joanna nodded.

Tony said frankly: "To be honest, I was tempted when Rose proposed this motion at the beginning. I have been thinking about this issue for the past two days. I have thought about it for a long time, and I think... we should not accept it."

Joanna looked at Tony in surprise.She thought that if anyone in the Avengers was going to side with her, it would be Tony Stark.

"I'm the exact opposite of your point of view. I don't think the government is a good shield. Don't think that your boyfriend's shield was returned to him by S.H.I.E.L.D., so the government represented by S.H.I.E.L.D. is really a cover Good old man. You know, this matter is more serious, the shield was given to the captain by our Stark family. Joanna, the government will not protect other organizations with personal risks. Especially in the face of public accusations. I I'm [-] percent sure that if we accepted the deal and something went wrong, the government would treat the Avengers like S.H.I.E.L.D. You've got to watch it carefully."

Joanna looked at Tony and said nothing.

"Of course, accepting the agreement can, to a certain extent, allow the Avengers to avoid the vortex of public opinion. At least in general accidents, we can say that there was a mistake in the authorization of the regulatory authorities." Tony sighed when he said this , "Joanna, we can't trust them."

Joanna: [We can comment on the terms of the agreement.We don't have to accept the current agreement in its entirety. 】

Tony looked at the line, and said after a long time: "Let me think again."

Joanna nodded, holding her coffee cup, planning to leave.

"Hey!" Tony called Joanna, who was not far away, "I was thinking... If you really want to make this happen, you should talk to the captain first."

Joanna tapped the wall of the coffee cup lightly with her fingers, but did not answer.

"You know, you should talk to him."

Joanna nodded indiscriminately, turned and left.

She knew Tony was right, and she knew how important it was for her to communicate directly with Steve.But Joanna wandered around the building for two days without finding the courage to speak to Steve.

She felt that when she stood in front of Steve, she was as scared as a patient who was convinced that she was terminally ill facing her attending doctor.

The scene where Steve rejects her proposal lingers on her like a horrible hysteria.

The longer Joanna carried this worry and fear with her, the more she felt that she had to convince everyone to accept the agreement.

Only by accepting the agreement can she smoothly pull the government in front of her to heal her wounds.Only in this way can she play her part.She can really do something for the Avengers, something for Steve.

Every morning, Joanna looked at her worried self in the mirror, and couldn't help but say to herself: "We have to accept the agreement, this is the only way to go."

Rose's last visit created a period of tension and unhappiness for the Avengers.But this tension and unhappiness did not last long, because everyone soon discovered that their friends had the same negative attitude towards the agreement as themselves.Except for Rhodes, who still has ties to the military, the rest, including Sam, who had worked closely with the military, confessed that they could not trust Ross and the government he represented.

Once the friends find that they are all of one mind, their self-confidence will rise steadily.

Except Joanna and Steve.

Joanna is because... everyone's thinking is different from what she thinks.

Steve because...Joanna is not what everyone thinks.

But neither of them brought their concerns to the table.

More than a week after Ross contacted Joanna privately that day, Joanna's phone was dialed again.

When the phone rang, Joanna was eating cake on the top floor and thinking about when she should talk to Steve about the agreement.

The Avengers gathered in twos and threes to chat.

The moment the phone rang, no one was distracted by the ordinary ringtone.Except for Steve who has been secretly watching Joanna.

He saw Joanna's expression change the moment she saw the caller ID clearly.That worried face suddenly became tense as if facing an enemy.

Steve completely ignored Baji who was talking to him, stood up and walked to Joanna's side: "Joanna? What's wrong?"

Joanna stared at the string of phone numbers and didn't answer.

Steve glances suspiciously at Joanna's phone.

Joanna, who realized that Steve was by her side, snapped back to her senses, picked up the phone, walked to the corner, and pressed the answer button.

"Miss Rickman, I hope to hear some good news from you. Congress gave me too much bad news today, and I sincerely hope that things will turn around."
