"Hi! Joanna." Standing in front of Joanna's apartment, Peter nervously raised his right hand and shook her.His muscles were tense, and Joanna could even see his lips trembling slightly.
Joanna and Peter have known each other for a day or two.Sometimes Peter would show such an expression when he encountered trouble at school and wanted to ask her to hide it from May.
It's the expression of fear of rejection.
Joanna tilted her head and looked at Peter for a while, then laughed: "This is Gotham, not New York."
"When... of course. No! Uh... sorry, I mean, sorry, um... did I do something wrong? Like... Are there any special customs here in Gotham? The number of door knocks or door visits Can't visit empty-handed or something?" Peter looked very nervous, "Sorry Joanna, I really don't know. Am I going to get in trouble?"
"Of course not." Joanna turned sideways and let Peter into the room, "What are you thinking? How could there be those strange rules. This is the 21st century, not the 16th century."
Peter entered the house, and sat down on the sofa under the hospitality of Joanna.
When Joanna went to the kitchen to pour coffee for Peter, Peter turned his head and looked around Joanna's residence.
Joanna returned to the living room with coffee: "Why did you come to Gotham suddenly? Is there a school event? Or come to see Gotham University? Don't you really want to come to this city to study?"
"No, no, no! Mr. Stark already..." Peter stopped short suddenly, thought for a while and found that what he wanted to say was not worth keeping secret from Joanna, so he continued, "Stark Sir has put me in touch with NYU and Harvard. I'm just... no, it's none of my business."
Joanna understood: "So, it has something to do with me?"
Peter looked at Joanna, and nodded after a moment.
"Two days ago, we discovered aliens."
When Joanna heard this, her eyes immediately opened wide: "How many people are there? I didn't see it on the news!"
"The outside world doesn't know. They came with Sol and found Mr. Stark directly."
"and then?"
Peter sighed: "Then Saul and Mr. Stark had a big fight."
Joanna:? ? ? ? ?
Peter shrugged: "Saul thinks that Mr. Stark should not cooperate with the government. He thinks that Mr. Stark should go to Wakanda with Ms. Romanov and the United States. Saul said that there, Stark can also Build mechs."
Joanna chuckled slightly when she heard this: "It looks like a bad idea that Saul would come up with. I guess Tony is too angry to explain to him, right?"
Peter nodded: "But the two are still arguing fiercely."
"Imagine."
After observing Joanna's expression, Peter continued: "Then the group of aliens brought by Saul asked us to fight."
"What do you want?"
"Go to war. They say there is a guy named Thanos who is preparing to attack the earth."
"Attack the Earth?" Joanna raised her eyebrows, "Is it the same as that prophecy?"
Peter nodded, and said a little nervously: "It's the same as the prophecy. You've heard it?"
"I heard the general idea, but the details are not very clear. Aren't all prophecies like that? If it is too detailed, it is not a prophecy."
Peter took a sip of coffee and asked nervously, "Mr. Stark asked me to ask you, are you going back?"
"Where are you going?"
"New York."
Joanna now began to regret that she did not leave Strange's contact information.The situation Peter described...was a bit different from what she had expected!Aren't the Avengers still in Wakanda?What she saw was a group of aliens discussing the plan with the Avengers, not her and Tony arguing with the aliens about the plan!
"But... At this time, shouldn't Tony contact other people first?"
"Uh...he might have contacted someone else. But," Peter pursed his lips, "you know Mr. Stark. He didn't tell me much. He just asked me to come to you."
Joanna thought for a while: "The problem is...you know, Captain Shi...their whereabouts are unknown now, and the White House has been staring at Tony. I go back and meet him at this time... Is it appropriate?"
Peter blinked: "Probably appropriate. Saul captured someone from the White House yesterday."
"His what?!"
"Then let the other party look at the group of aliens, and didn't say much."
Joanna felt like she had a terrible headache.It dawned on her how lucky she was to not have to worry about the Avengers' PR anymore.
"Do you know who was arrested?"
Peter seemed to see through Joanna's worries, and quickly shook his head: "Don't worry, it's not Mr. President."
Joanna took a long breath: "You can't rest assured. All right, I'll clean up and go with you later."
Peter responded, and sat obediently on the sofa, watching Joanna call her boss and lie that she was going to New York to make big news, while she packed her luggage neatly.
Peter felt that Joanna had changed a lot.But if there is something different, Peter couldn't think of one, two, three for a long time.
It wasn't until Joanna hung up the phone and stuffed the charging cable into her luggage bag that Peter vaguely realized where Joanna had changed.
During the period when Peter and Joanna cut off almost all contact, Joanna became the one who didn't hesitate.Of course she would think about her next move and plan, but she didn't hesitate.It seemed that she had suddenly grasped something called "faith" in the messy life.No matter how complicated or unexpected the situation is, she will not waver in the slightest.
The last person who gave Peter such admiration was Captain America.
Peter scratched the back of his head, wondering what the connection was.But his intuition told him that he shouldn't tell Joanna his immature thoughts.
After all... No girl wants to talk about her ex-boyfriend with others.Even if they broke up peacefully.
Joanna was unaware of Peter's series of psychological activities, and she was not even as aware of her own changes as Peter was.Carrying her own luggage bag, like a capable woman who has been in the business for many years, she plans to book her own ticket and take the first flight to New York with Peter.
But not long after she walked out of the apartment, Joanna received a call from Bruce Wayne.She was reluctant to talk to this person, but considering that Bruce would basically not call her for no reason, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and pressed the answer button.
"You're going to New York." Bruce came up with a firm assertion.
Joanna held the phone and took a deep breath: "The news is very good."
"I have a helicopter." Bruce said succinctly.
Joanna's anger was suppressed in her chest: "It's quite a level to show off your wealth."
Bruce ignored the hostility in Joanna's tone, he knew very well that Joanna would not make a choice that was not conducive to the situation: "If you take an airline plane to New York, it is easy to be caught by the official at the airport or other places. And you don't want to be forced to rely on Spider-Man to get out."
Joanna subconsciously glanced at Peter beside her.
"Come directly to my company. The helicopter is waiting for you on the roof." Bruce hung up the phone after saying this.
Peter blinked: "Who is it?"
Joanna stuffed her phone into her bag: "Evil capitalist."
Bruce's prediction was not wrong, and Joanna did not make any unwise decisions because of her personal likes and dislikes.This made Bruce a little admirable.Although he himself is an extremely calm, sometimes even ruthless person, he has always understood human nature and never demands his own level of reason from others.Even in the face of Superman's occasional temper tantrum, he can understand and handle it properly.To some extent, Bruce Wayne is really a model superhero who is more strict with himself than others.It is precisely because of this that he admires Joanna's way of putting the overall situation first.
Not many people can do this.Bruce has seen too many people who sabotage established plans because of their personalities and emotions.Each time he had to devise remedies for these uncertainties.And Joanna doesn't need it, at least... the current Joanna doesn't need it.
Bruce doesn't know exactly what Strange said or saw to Joanna.But no matter what it is, it has brought great benefits to them.
Bruce didn't meet Joanna.He ordered his secretary to meet Joanna and Peter on the first floor, and then led them directly to the apron on the rooftop.
The loud noise from the helicopter gave Joanna no desire to communicate.Even though he was wearing a headset, Peter also looked like he had something to ask, but Joanna still didn't speak the whole time.
After arriving in New York, the helicopter pilot parked the plane on the tarmac of the Stark Tower.
The building has barely changed, and the apron remains the same as it used to be.Only the big A outside the building turned back into a stark with a huge A again.Compared with the other letters, the A letter looks a little gray and vicissitudes.
When Joanna stepped off the plane, she kept looking up at a few striking letters.As she walked, she muttered to Peter: "Is Tony's business not doing well recently? Can't even squeeze out the money to change the letter signboard?"
Peter raised his eyes to look at the big letters, and wisely did not answer.
Hearing the sound of the helicopter, Tony came out of the R&D room and took the elevator up to the top floor.In the past, every time the Avengers returned from a mission, Joanna would go upstairs to greet them as long as she had nothing to do.
This time, the location has changed.People... not as many as before.
Tony had prepared a bellyful of mean jokes, but couldn't utter a single one at the moment.
He just stared at Joanna for a while, and finally said, "Are you too poor to afford a plane ticket?"
Joanna glanced back at Peter, and then replied bluntly: "I think you are so poor that you can't even get the money to change the letter."
Tony looked up at the letter A: "Oh! You said that! I stayed here on purpose to scare the people in the White House."
Joanna and Peter have known each other for a day or two.Sometimes Peter would show such an expression when he encountered trouble at school and wanted to ask her to hide it from May.
It's the expression of fear of rejection.
