The place where Joanna lived in Wakanda was a tall building with a sci-fi style.Not to mention that the style of this high-rise building does not match the word Africa, but it seems a bit reluctant to match the earth.The perimeter of the tall building is a layer of one-way glass.You can't see the inside from the outside, but you can clearly see the outside from the inside.

Out of the room, there is a simple and modern corridor with a wall on one side and the one-way glass that separates the interior and exterior of the building on the other.From here, you can see a more shocking night view than in the room.Joanna couldn't sleep, so she casually walked along the corridor, admiring the capital of Wakanda.

The scenery outside the window has a strong attraction for anyone.That attraction is not just the shock brought by high technology and prosperity, but the intoxication brought by a possible future.Joanna is very clear that everything she sees now is the civilization of the earth, not some ridiculous sci-fi film, nor is it influenced by the planning of the White House or the former S.H.I.E.L.D.'s theft of Kryptonian technology.This is a real city built by the people on earth.It's not even far away from her. Once Wakanda implements a comprehensive open policy, cities of technology that are almost the same will soon be built in all corners of the world.

It's just... Can those people who don't know what they are facing, really be able to bear such advanced technology that fell from the sky?

Joanna stopped in front of a curved glass window.She looked at the city outside in a daze, and didn't know where the human beings should go for a while.

"Joanna."

Joanna was startled. She looked away from the window and looked at the source of the sound.In the dim light, a handsome figure stood quietly about 20 meters away from Joanna.

For a figure in the dark night, this distance is really a bit embarrassing.But Joanna quickly recognized the figure's owner.

"Hi." Joanna stood by the window, hesitating whether to go forward.

For Steve, the hesitation simply didn't exist.After Joanna responded to him softly, Steve walked towards Joanna with steady steps: "Can't you deal with the jet lag?"

Joanna smiled lightly: "Maybe. But it may also be pure insomnia."

Steve approaches Joanna.The distance between the two was a bit too close for the predecessor.

Joanna turned around uncomfortably and stood facing the French windows.Steve lowered his head and stared at Joanna's profile for a while, then turned sideways and stood side by side with Joanna.

The bustling city lay out in front of their eyes like a picture scroll.

"Do you think... we can win?" Joanna asked unconsciously while staring at the scenery outside the window.

Steve secretly observed Joanna's expression: "Yes."

"What if... I mean, what if I fail? What if Thanos is a rival..." Joanna stopped talking.She suddenly remembered the conversation she had with Steve in Gotham that broke up.Of course she remembered how what had started as a warm visit had turned into the unpleasant scene at the end.Although she didn't answer Steve's question directly, she accused Steve of not doubting her integrity.But what about the result?She herself admitted honestly that she was not a person of integrity.She can't do it either, she has super powers but she doesn't move at all, and she doesn't seek profit for herself.

slap yourself in the face...

Joanna sighed.Before this, she didn't know that she was such a promising person.

Steve turned his head and watched Joanna's face showing a look of annoyance under the light in the distance.

"it's not your fault."

Steve didn't realize what he had just said until Joanna turned her head to look at him.

Meeting Steve's gaze, Joanna lowered her head unconsciously and sighed: "You don't need to comfort me. At that time, I really wanted to use my lying tongue to influence Superman's judgment. Not in a state of panic, I was not under any coercion. I was very calm and sober at the time. I was deliberate. If it was a crime, I would be [-]% committed. Even you don’t need to make excuses for me.”

"That's just..." Joanna looked up at Steve, and Steve couldn't say another word.He and Joanna know each other so well that they can understand each other's thoughts with just a look.Excuses, lies, even if they are well-intentioned, there is nothing to hide between the two.

"No." Steve looked at the night scene outside the window, "It won't fail. I know you will succeed, and we will succeed."

Joanna thought of the "future" that Strange had shown her, and felt a little emotional for a moment.She didn't know if that "future" was the most correct one, but it was obvious that what happened now was not part of that future.Because in that future, Steve is still skeptical about her convincing Thanos before going into battle.

"So...do you have any experience to pass on?"

"what?"

"You know, the kind that veterans who have experienced many battles can teach novices." Joanna laughed, as if the worry about the future at the beginning was just a short-term loss.

Steve stared at Joanna's face, their eyes met.

After a long time, he said softly: "Not too much. Just two points. First, believe in yourself just like you believe in your companions. Second, if there is anything important, don't leave it for later."

Joanna froze for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Steve, you weren't so humorous before. Now you're so proficient in using the stalk of don't stand up flags? Hahahaha."

Steve frowned, but there was still an almost serious seriousness in his eyes: "Do you have any?"

"sense of humor?"

"No, important words."

Joanna's laugh went hoarse for a moment, and she blinked, looking at Steve in disbelief.

Steve lowered his eyes, and said after a while: "If, the kind of event that would never have happened happened. If your persuasion fails, we will fight Thanos head-on. At that time, I will fight against Thanos at the end. Frontline. So, if you don't have anything important to say, just in case, I thought..."

"Let's start over." Joanna interrupted Steve almost without thinking.

This surprised Steve a little, and he couldn't pick up Joanna's words for a long time.

"I mean..." Joanna closed her eyes and frowned slightly.Every time she tried to round up the topic, she would show such a look.

"That's what I want to say." Steve said suddenly, and under Joanna's surprised gaze, he leaned over and said in Joanna's ear, "It's just not 'restart', but to keep going."

Joanna said in surprise, her expression seemed to be unbearable.

Steve finds it a little funny, he's never seen Joanna like this before.Even when she confessed her love to her in the car back then, she never showed such an expression as if she heard a pig speak human words like today.

Steve gently took Joanna's hand.

Fortunately.

Steve thought earnestly.

***************

Just two days after Joanna arrived in Wakanda, the Justice League also rushed to Wakanda on Batman's plane.The Flash didn't come with his companions because he wanted to stay in the United States. Superman flew directly from the United States to Wakanda after Batman and others arrived.

As soon as Superman arrived, he explained to everyone why he didn't come with his companions, just because he still had an interview in his hand, and flying was too much time.Still, Joanna couldn't resist secretly praising Superman for publicly slapping Batman in the face.

"Joanna..."

"Why?" Joanna put away her smiling face a little dissatisfied, "I praise you, but you are not happy?"

Clark sighed, looking hesitant to speak, but Joanna waited for a while, but Clark didn't say anything.Instead, Sam yelled for everyone to enter the conference room for a detailed discussion.

Joanna could only obey the arrangement, entered the meeting room, and sat down on the other side far from the Justice League.

As soon as Batman sat down, he exuded a provocative aura.Joanna thought of what she had done in the United States, and unconsciously leaned back in her chair, maintaining a low-key posture.Steve, who was sitting next to her, stretched out his hand and gently squeezed her fingers under the table.

Joanna's hanging heart instantly settled down.She curled her ring finger and lightly hooked Steve's index finger.The fingertips just pressed against Steve's palm like that, gently brushing over the small piece of skin.

"I think we should rethink our course of action."

Sure enough, as soon as Batman opened his mouth, there was opposition.That tone sounded quite firm, without the slightest hint of discussion.

Joanna held her breath.But before she could speak, Natasha took the lead: "When I was in Mexico last time, I thought we had reached a preliminary consensus. Did something happen?"

Batman pondered for a moment, then nodded: "For safety."

"Safety?"

Not to mention Joanna, the non-Zhenglian members in the conference room are a little confused at the moment.

When is this, how can there be "safety"?Thanos is about to hit the door of his house, and if he is not careful, the earth will explode in place.This is a time of life and death, not a time to discuss personal safety.

Steve considered it for a while, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "How to say specifically?"

"About your assumptions. You're pinning on Strange to stop the inappropriate behavior in time, but you haven't considered what happens if Strange can't come, or if he gets caught in some trouble. So, this The plan was too risky."

Joanna sneered disdainfully: "That's it? This is your opinion? I thought Batman could give some great advice! At the moment of life and death, Strange may indeed be unable to do so because of other things. Action. But that doesn't mean he can't act all the time. In fact, hasn't he been looking for all of us? He can see the future. If this future is not the right future, he will be in a place where nothing happened. Intervention at the right time. So, your concerns are not only unnecessary, but naive. Taking a step back, this plan requires Strange to bring out the Time Stone. Without the Time Stone, it will not work at all. So you don't have to think about it , even if someone can deny this plan, it can only be Strange, not you."
