[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Joanna saw that Steve was in a special room, surrounded by high-tech equipment, electronic warning lights, and display screens, all showing a kind of "I am valuable" to the people around him. feel.

Even in the Avengers Building, Joanna rarely saw such an exaggerated room.She felt very far away from Steve.Of course, she is very clear that what is happening now is not "happening" in the true sense, at least, not the "happening" that ordinary people perceive.Therefore, Joanna had no intention of interacting with Steve.

Steve, on the other hand, couldn't seem to see her either.He just stood in the room frowning, and said to a group of people: "Do you have to do this?"

In that group, there were people Joanna knew and some Joanna didn't know.There are even... there are non-human ones.

Joanna didn't know what the hell it was.a tree?Or... a person pretending to be a tree?

She didn't worry too much about these guys who had nothing to do with her, but focused on Steve.

Steve looked troubled.The last time Joanna saw Steve look like this, the Avengers hadn't come to an end.

Strange in the crowd was very calm: "This is the only way. In the successful future, that's what we did. All other ways failed."

Steve's eyes were sharp: "What I want to know is, is this the last bifurcation point? After that, there is only one outcome? Or, even if we do this, there is still a future of failure?"

Strange pursed his lips and fell silent.

"Fine." Steve nodded. "I think I've got it all figured out. That being the case, I don't agree with the plan."

"Hey! Don't! Your girlfriend...well, I mean your ex-girlfriend, she's really good at convincing people. When she first showed up, even I started to suspect that Gamora was a liar! You know, this It's impossible for such a thing to happen." A man with a mustache said, "Besides, she didn't use that lying tongue at that time. If she really used it, I think this thing can be done! "

"I understand what you mean. But I'm sorry, this plan is too risky, and I can't accept it." Steve frowned, not giving an inch.

A blue-skinned woman in the corner raised the corners of her mouth and showed a mocking smile: "There is almost no big risk in this plan. Even if she fails, we still have a way to fight to the end. The only problem lies in implementing this plan. It's really dangerous for that woman. In other words...you just don't want your girlfriend to take risks."

Steve raised his chin, and he looked like a lion suppressing his anger: "I will not let any civilian take risks. This is a matter of principle."

The blue-skinned woman smiled, but didn't comment on Steve's words.

No one Joanna knew stood up for Steve at this moment.

Even across the river of time, Joanna, who witnessed all this, deeply felt the pressure Steve was under at that moment.That kind of pressure does not come from the outside world, but from his heart.

The safety of the earth and the principles he upholds.These two have been pulling in his heart, constantly wrestling.

Joanna wasn't arrogant enough to think that Steve was denying a course of action that might put her in danger out of love for her.If it were anyone else, Steve would argue like this.

This is where Steve is fascinating.But it was also the source of Steve's pain.

Sticking to principles is often at the price of pain.

It's a pity that not many people can understand all this.

Good thing...

That plan was only about her.

Across the river of time, Joanna slowly smiled at Steve in the future.

When Joanna was pulled back from that magical world by Strange, the smile on her lips hadn't faded.

Strange looked at Joanna: "Have you seen it?"

"Yes, got it."

Strange looked at Joanna for a while, and asked a little worriedly: "Since you have seen it all, can you tell me what you think?"

"Thoughts?" Joanna sounded in a good mood, she tilted her head slightly, "Thoughts about what?"

"About the future, about you, about...whatever."

Joanna nodded thoughtfully, and after a while, she laughed again: "I think Steve looks good with a beard! I didn't realize it before."

Strange: ...

Strange, who had seen everything today, knew that the matter was settled when he heard Joanna's answer.Although, he was still surprised by Joanna's brain circuit until the moment he actually experienced it all.

Strange stood up: "I leave everything to you."

Joanna:? ? ? ? ?

Strange raised his hand and drew a virtual circle in the air.A golden light left a trace along the place where his fingers passed.Joanna didn't have time to be surprised, when she saw the trace rushing towards her like a ring of fire in a circus for a tiger to jump over.

When she regained consciousness, she was already standing outside the cell.Inside the cell was Harry with a dazed expression.And Strange has completely disappeared.

"What happened just now?" Harry looked at Joanna cautiously.

"What's the matter?"

"I seemed to see a spark just now." Harry narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see something from Joanna's reaction.

"Sparks?" Joanna blinked. "What are you talking about?"

Harry frowned: "Forget it, it's nothing."

Joanna took a step forward and held the iron bar: "Harry, we will see each other one day."

Harry showed a mocking smile: "Yes, you can come anytime, and I'll be here anytime."

"No. You know that's not what I mean." Joanna took Harry's hand, "I know that we may not be the same kind of people, or rather, we are simply...not from the same world. Regarding this, I don't know Will retort. But Harley, I know. We'll meet again someday. Out in the world."

Harry stared blankly at Joanna for a while, then pulled his hand back very uncomfortably.She turned around and turned her back to Joanna: "You go. I'm going to practice yoga."

Joanna watched as Harry tugged at the yoga strap tied to the cell roof, and whispered "Take care."

Joanna came out of Arkham Hospital looking like a different person.

No, to be precise, it turned back to the original Joanna who was still fighting wits and courage between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Special Operations Department.She is smart and optimistic, and her biggest shortcoming is probably that she can't get to work on time.Everything she had experienced in the Avengers before, and all the unfriendly remarks made against her by the outside world, seemed to suddenly become insignificant in one day.She is very comfortable working in the newspaper office, as if her dream was to be a reporter from the beginning.

But she doesn't worry about her career as a journalist.Although Joanna occasionally exchanges interview and writing experience with Clark and Louise who are somewhat wary of her, she does not seem to intend to become a first-class reporter.She is keen to write some crime news with a curious color. From the beginning to the end of the manuscript, except for the information Gordon gave her, she made wild guesses for eyeballs.

Joanna doesn't have the self-consciousness of a reporter, and she will even persuade Kroger to give the newspaper a proper position.Let go of unrealistic fantasies and focus on how to increase sales.She even urged her colleagues to use some sensational headlines.

Only on certain bad days did she seriously write two critical essays on Batman.

Ethan, who has been paying attention to Joanna's state, finally asked the question in his heart during a temporary lunch time one day.

"You're not going to be a good reporter, are you?"

Joanna nodded and took a sip of the table wine.

Ethan understood: "I knew it. But you were very serious when you wrote the review."

Joanna shrugged while cutting the steak: "After all, Batman is hard to deal with. When I got him, I was sincere. Because he is so annoying."

"I can..." Ethan paused, and finally asked, "Can I ask what happened in Arkham Hospital that day?"

Joanna finally showed a hesitant expression.

"Something about Lie Tongue?" Ethan didn't want to act like he knew Joanna met Strange there.

Joanna smiled: "It's about me. It's about the future."

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief: "That prophecy?"

"That prophecy."

"But you always knew about that prophecy." Ethan looked at Joanna's face, "So what changed your mind?"

Joanna thought for a while, then shook her head slightly: "I haven't changed my mind. I just...discovered the real me."

"The real you?"

"The real me." Joanna showed an embarrassed smile, "Although it sounds shameful to say this, I really want to be a hero. Even if I don't have your terrible fighting power, but... I want to do it right thing."

Ethan looked at Joanna quietly for a while, and then smiled knowingly: "I'm glad to have a partner like you."

Joanna didn't know when the day she saw would come.She also doesn't know what will happen before that day comes.What kind of omen is there before it comes?Is it coming with the dawn?Or sneak in quietly with the night?Does it sing when it comes?An ode to hope?Or a sad elegy?

Joanna knew that all she could do was to wait quietly.Then when that day comes, make the choice she should make.

But what she didn't expect was that it wasn't Steve, nor Batman, nor even Superman or Strange who came to her door first.

The first person to come to her door was Peter who had never seen anyone in that "future".
