"Hey! What's the matter with your fingers?" Besson put the paper cup containing hot coffee on Joanna's desk, and pouted at Joanna's hand angrily.

Joanna raised her injured hand, looked at the tightly wrapped middle finger, raised her head and said to Besen, "I drank too much last night, I accidentally did it when I opened the door."

"Tut tsk tsk tsk." Besson couldn't help being speechless, "Awesome!"

Joanna rolled her eyes and raised her bandaged middle finger towards Bethan.Besson didn't feel offended at all, but smiled at Joanna instead.

Probably because of drinking too late last night, almost everyone in the newspaper office, except Joanna, was late.Everyone brought takeaway coffee at the same time, and when they rushed into the office, they all had a flattering look of "I bought coffee, so don't scold me".Kroger was the last to arrive, and by then Joanna's desk was lined with coffee.

When Kroger looked at the neat row of coffee, he immediately understood what had happened.

"It seems that I made a mistake in buying coffee today."

Joanna raised her eyebrows, stood up, and put on her coat: "I'm about to call you to report! I want to go on a business trip."

"Business trip? Where are you going? Are you on the news?"

Joanna pulled her hair out of her collar: "Going to the Metropolis. There is no news. I plan to go there to find some connections and learn some experience."

"Take a scripture?"

Joanna put the keys and mobile phone into the bag: ""Daily Planet". I have a relationship with Louise Lane before, and I want to ask about news reports in the past. If Kroger, you plan to develop our newspaper into a front-line The words of the media."

Kroger is of course overjoyed that his employees are so motivated.But when it comes to the Daily Planet...

Kroger showed a skeptical expression: "Joanna, if I remember correctly. When you were working at S.H.I.E.L.D., wasn't there a scandal for a while? There was a lot of trouble."

Mary on the side suddenly regained her spirits. She stretched her legs and kicked the legs of the table, and leaned out most of her body while sliding the office chair: "Yes, yes, yes! That's the case! The news that was reproduced at that time was still excerpted by me! The other party was "Planet Journalist. But I remember it wasn't Lois Lane, it was... Clark! That's right, Clark Kent!"

"Wow! The memory is really good." Joanna nodded with a smile, without any embarrassment of being exposed, "Although Clark and I are indeed more... familiar with each other. But there is no way, he won the award without Louis Sido. We learn from the best, don't we?"

"No, no, wait." Kroger stopped Joanna, who was about to leave the door, "Joanna, I'm not kidding. Don't make any scandals. The Daily Planet will protect you!" When we were fighting against S.H.I.E.L.D., in order to ensure that they were all reporters, they could put the blame on you. If you have any scandals now, let me say first, we are a small workshop, and we dare not fight with you. That big media is tough."

Joanna stood at the door, looking at Kroger dumbfounded: "Think about it, if something like that really happens, our newspaper will become a big company with the same reputation as "Daily Planet" and S.H.I.E.L.D."

After Joanna finished speaking, she patted the door lightly, then turned and walked away.Leaving Kroger looking back at its own employees in bewilderment.

"Boss, I have to say, she has a good idea." Mary commented objectively after taking a sip of the coffee that someone bought.

"Second." Besen, who was buried in the online novel, raised a hand in agreement.

There are quite a few flights from Gotham to Metropolis, almost every hour.Joanna quickly passed the security check at the airport with a simple satchel.She hardly stayed in the waiting room, walked from the security check to the boarding gate, and then went to the toilet and came out, and saw that there were already people queuing up at the boarding gate to board the plane.

Gotham's airport covers a large area, but when many planes are parked outside in rows, it still looks a bit cramped.The prosperity and affluence of Gotham can be seen only from the airport.

What Joanna couldn't understand was how such a prosperous city could have such a high crime rate.What made her even more puzzled was, how could such a chaotic city be managed by Batman alone?

Of course, he has money.This is a very important reason.But money can't solve all problems. Just look at Tony Stark, the father of the Avengers, to understand this truth.

To defeat Batman, one must find his weakness.

It was raining lightly outside.Joanna looked at her own reflection on the glass passage, thinking silently.

The rain was not heavy and the itinerary was not affected.Joanna arrived at the Metropolis on time.Joanna didn't call Clark until she got into the taxi to "Daily Planet".

Clark Candide Kent never thought about using his super hearing to find out where Joanna was and what she was going to do at the moment.So when Joanna asked where he was, he replied without thinking, "In the office. What are you asking?"

"Aren't you going out for news today? For example, running Gotham or something?"

As soon as Clark heard that Joanna wanted him to help again, he immediately replied, "No. I won't run all day today. I will stay in the office today."

On the other end of the phone, Joanna sighed faintly: "Alright then."

Clark hung up the phone and couldn't help pouted.

Louise, who was about to go to the tea room to make a cup of coffee, happened to pass by Clark's work station. Seeing Clark's pout, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Clark raised his eyebrows: "It's okay."

"fine?"

"Well, it's Joanna Rickman."

"What is she calling for?"

"No, just asked if I was going to Gotham. It sounds like I want to help." Clark shrugged helplessly.

Louise leaned against the partition of the workstation, looked down at Clark sitting on the seat, and showed a teasing smile: "It sounds like you don't intend to help? This is not your style." Louise possessed herself and lowered her voice In Clark's ear, he said, "My Superman."

Clark showed an embarrassed smile: "You told me to learn to reject others appropriately."

"Okay." Louise straightened up, "Do you want coffee?"

Clark smiled sweetly: "Drink."

The two went to the tea room with their cups one after the other. They were making coffee and chatting about several recent news events.Clark's phone rang again.

Louise sipped her coffee and shrugged at Clark.

Clark answered the phone helplessly: "What's the matter?"

"You really don't run the news?"

"Don't run away." Clark sighed, "Joanna, if you have anything to say, just tell me, if I can help..."

"Very good. I'm downstairs from your unit." Joanna got out of the taxi and looked up at the towering office building, "So I'll come up to you later, don't tell me you're off to the news."

"Wait... wait a minute! What are you doing at our newspaper office?"

"Study and investigate! Didn't I tell you that I'm also working as a reporter. Why don't I come here to learn advanced experience!" Joanna stepped into the elevator, asked Clark's floor, and pressed the button.

Five minutes later, Joanna and Clark were sitting in Louise's office staring.

Louise sat in her seat and looked at the two with embarrassment: "Should I... avoid it?"

"Need not."

"That's not necessary."

Upon hearing this, Louise sighed and could only sit in her seat.When Joanna came up, the colleagues in the newspaper office stretched their necks curiously.If she goes out now and leaves the two of them inside, who knows what those guys outside will do!

Thinking of this, after Louise explained her concerns, she got up and opened the curtains, so that the curious colleagues outside could see that nothing unpleasant or unseemly happened inside.

Clark still seemed a little bit worried about Joanna's sudden visit to the "Daily Planet": "What are you doing here?"

"Didn't I tell you? Learn advanced experience!"

Clark sighed, glanced at Louise, and then turned his head to Joanna: "I'm serious."

"I'm serious too." Joanna looked directly into Clark's eyes, "Honestly... I'm still not reconciled to this day."

"About the Avengers?"

"Otherwise, what else could have happened!" Joanna rolled her eyes, then sighed again, "I've been wondering what went wrong. I remember that you had similar difficult times before, but when you Got it. Do you remember? The days when you were writing like crazy about Batman in the Daily Planet."

It made Clark uncomfortable to be brought up about his days of sparring with his teammates, but he responded anyway: "We were in a different situation back then."

"What's the difference. Speaking of which... where did you come up with so much black material? Share and share resources with me!"

After all, Clark is a master who has worked in the media industry. Hearing Joanna for a moment, he immediately became vigilant: "Why do I think you want to get information from me to deal with Batman?"

Joanna looked up at Clark and then at Louise. She hesitated for more than ten seconds, and then showed a slightly weird smile: "What are you talking about! I really came to learn. I just think...you dealt with it back then. The ideas and methods of Batman are worth learning from. Maybe the other party also used similar methods to deal with the Avengers. Maybe... I can also find some ideas to fight back from it. That's all."

Clarke had a hunch that there must be more to it than "that's it."But for some reason, after listening to Joanna's words, he inexplicably felt that he was worrying too much. In his eyes, Joanna instantly became a person who was unwilling to fail and still tried to do something for her former partners by herself. Brilliant image.

"Well, I did get some information in a very special way. So, my method may not work for you. But if I can learn anything from my fight with Batman at that time , that is...to defeat a person, you need to let everyone see his 'injustice' side." Clark shrugged after saying this, "Although, I will not associate this word with him now. "

Joanna hesitated for two seconds, did not mention what happened last night, but asked: "Is the 'Tongue of Lies' true?"

"As far as I know... yes."

Joanna closed her eyes and sighed.

"Clark, I want to see the materials you got. It would be great if you could tell me how you got them."

Clark felt that Joanna's request was a bit strange.But at the same time, another voice in his heart said to him: "Give it to her, it's okay. She just wants to learn to be a reporter."

Clark stood up and said in a steady tone, "No problem, come with me."
