[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Tony's converter works as always.It took Joanna less than an hour from getting off the spaceship to completing the task report.A huge problem with the Lie Tongue's battle plan is how to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the Lie Tongue.On this point, Joanna doesn't have much data available for reference.In fact, the data that can be used for reference is still only Superman.

For this point, before Joanna boarded the spaceship, the Avengers had already experimented on Superman in different ways.Whether it was Steve's serious interview, Tony's whiskey talk, or even Natasha's induction, it was not found that Superman had any rebellious thoughts about "disclosing Batman information to Joanna".Although, he already knew that it was just the function of the tongue of lies.

In the case of Superman, they can rest easy.Thanos isn't going to snap back one day while flying out of the galaxy.If the physical distance does not affect the tongue of lies.

Even so, Joanna is still not very confident about the effect of the tongue of lies, especially since there are Ebony Maw and superstars around Thanos.According to Gamora, Ebony Maw and Superstar have unrivaled abilities in spell speech and mind control.

Out of prudent considerations, everyone quickly formulated a battle plan for Ebony Throat and Superstar.The intention is to find an opportunity to nip these two uneasy factors in the bud before Thanos reacts.

Since the kill mission is to be carried out in outer space, the task naturally falls on the Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor and Superman.

Strange generously offered to contribute as well.But when the Guardians of the Galaxy invited him to board the spacecraft, he refused the other party.

"I'll catch up with you soon. So I won't bother you."

Rocket frowned, holding on to the hanging ladder of the spaceship with one hand, and waving with the other: "Stop talking nonsense! This is your last chance to board the ship!"

Strange pursed his lips and showed a polite smile: "No, thank you."

Seeing this, Xingjue couldn't help complaining: "Come on, buddy! Don't you know that living together on the road is the fastest way to build a tacit understanding among comrades in arms?"

"I'm very grateful, but, I have other things to deal with." Strange was unmoved, like a stone that cannot be absorbed by oil or salt.

Gamora impatiently urged everyone to board the boat again.While Rocket and others muttered bad things about Strange, they closed the hatch of the spaceship.

Everyone on Earth watched as the Guardians of the Galaxy spaceship disappeared into the sky.

When the spaceship was completely out of sight, Strange looked away and looked at Joanna.

Joanna took out the electronic screen.

Joanna: You stayed here to talk to me about something?

Strange nodded, and then looked at Steve: "Of course there is you."

Steve took Joanna's hand and patted the back of her hand in comfort.The two held hands and followed Strange to the New York Temple.

"Captain, I have to apologize to you first."

Steve frowned: "What's the matter?"

"About the Time Stone." Strange looked at Joanna, but ignored her warning eyes. "Before Miss Rickman left, I didn't give the Time Stone to her. I did it out of The purpose of ensuring the final victory. But it is undeniable that I have put Miss Rickman in danger."

Steve's face fell.But he didn't speak.He gritted his teeth, the muscles in his arms arching slightly with anger.

"All events form a thread." Strange raised his hand and drew a golden arc in the air, "Every event is a forking point. Everything, from Miss Rickman at work I bought that cup of coffee|coffee before. If Ms. Rickman hadn’t gone to buy coffee that day, she wouldn’t have met Agent Coulson in the elevator, and naturally she wouldn’t have been a candidate for a mission close to Captain America. The executor will become another experienced female agent. Of course, that female agent can't think of the idea of ​​"becoming a netizen with Captain America". Everything behind will cease to exist. There is no such SHIELD Your staff will become your girlfriend as the captain, and naturally no one will visit you in the hospital after you are injured and hospitalized. Constantine, who stole the tongue of lies, will be caught by Lucifer, and the tongue of lies will return to hell. And everything today will end in an extremely tragic sacrifice."

Joanna held Steve's hand nervously, forgetting to type on the converter.

"But the development of everything has its inevitable side. Victory in war must require sacrifice. You should be very clear about this, captain."

Steve frowned: "What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Miss Rickman prevented tragedy from happening, and in turn, she became tragedy."

Joanna's eyes widened, finally remembering that she was still wearing the converter.

Joanna: Wait a minute!You got it right!Why am I so tragic? !Um?

"Justice League." Strange raised his hand and clicked on the golden line, a silver-white light spot glowed faintly, "The power of the tongue of lies has always been feared by the Justice League. In some ways Well, the Justice League does think more far-reaching than the Avengers, in their view the existence of the tongue of lies would be a threat to the world."

"We have discussed this issue before the cooperation. They also promised not to shoot Joanna." Steve was really angry at the moment.It's not that he didn't understand what Strange said.

Facing Steve's suppressed anger, Strange still acted calmly: "It's just guaranteed now. In the future I foresee, there is such a possibility that the Justice League and the Avengers will be killed because of lies. tongue and become an enemy."

Joanna: I'm riding a horse!Is it the ghost of Batman!

Strange looked at the words Joanna typed, and instead of responding directly to her, he turned his gaze to Steve.

Although Steve had a strong anger lingering in his chest now, he knew very well that Strange was only warning them of the predicament they might face as a prophet.There is no right or wrong until something happens.There is no layer of constant things in this world.Yesterday's skinny Brooklyn boy could become Captain America today; yesterday's unknown administrator of S.H.I.E.L.D., didn't he persuade Thanos to quit today?

The Justice League can now promise them not to shoot Joanna, and perhaps someday in the future, they will face a dilemma that forces them to reconsider today's pledge.

Steve is not Strange, he didn't see what the predicament was like, so he couldn't say that the Justice League must have broken its promise.He also did the thing of tearing up the US government department, and he is still a wanted object in the US. Steve knows better than anyone that sometimes, things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

Behind the choice, there are always all kinds of helplessness.

but……

"It's not that Joanna has to keep a tongue of lies. It's a last resort. Joanna risked the world. This..."

"Everyone is very clear about this. I can give you a very clear answer. Until that day comes, everyone will still remember this." Strange's face was exhausted.

Steve didn't know what to say.If you give him some time, he can certainly calm himself down and make an objective and just decision.But at this moment, when Joanna had just risked her life to drive Thanos away, Steve only had anger in his heart.This kind of anger is no less than the anger when the US government ripped up the Avengers.No, even angrier than that.

At least...he didn't have too many expectations from the US government|government.

"So you have a way, right?" Joanna said suddenly, her tone was completely different from the calmness she had shown just now.

Steve looked at Joanna nervously, and Strange finally set his sights on Joanna.

After a long time, Strange nodded: "As I said, there is only one possibility. The future can be predicted, but it does not remain the same."

"What are we going to do?" Joanna's tone was a bit pitiful, like a poor little girl who had nowhere to go and had to ask the welfare agency for help.

"At no time should anyone be given the opportunity or excuse to attack you."

Joanna pursed her lips and thought for a while: "You are asking me to be dumb for the rest of my life."

Strange said nothing.Look away.

"Joanna..." Steve put his arms around Joanna's shoulders, unable to speak any more.

Joanna was as docile as a kitten, and she let Steve put his arms around her shoulders and lean against him gently.Joanna looked at Strange, and slowly raised the corners of her mouth: "Thank you, Strange. I know what to do."

Strange returned a bitter smile: "Do you need me to send you back to Wakanda?"

"Although my home is in New York, let's go to Wakanda. I think King T'Challa is a nice guy. He might be able to lend us a plane. I think we can buy an island." Joanna Looking up at Steve, "Would you like to?"

"Of course. Anywhere."

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

Steve finally did get Joanna an island.In the Indian Ocean, less than a 30-minute speedboat ride from their last vacation island.

The money to buy the island was drawn by T'Challa, and Tony always felt that Joanna must have stayed away from New York for a long time because of this reason.The shapeshifter is not a patient person. Before Joanna returned, she simply threw the mess to Tony and ran away.

Joanna Rickman just... evaporated.

Except for a handful of superheroes, no one knows where she went.

On a small island in the Indian Ocean, Joanna learned to dive.There are also many ways to cook fish have been figured out.She's always welcomed the Avengers and Ethan to her and Steve's lovely island, and she's always whipped up a big table.Although she never spoke in front of the crowd again, with Tony's converter, even when she was arguing with others, she never lost the advantage.

Tropical islands have no seasons.

December night, less than a week until Christmas.

Joanna and Steve lay on the sand under the stars as the tide gently washed their feet.

"Joanna."

"Ok?"

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about... that night in the motel."

Joanna giggled: "I remember opening the skylight and the starry sky outside. But, Steve, you have to admit that the starry sky here is much more beautiful than in America."

Steve gently hooked Joanna's finger: "Of course."

"I'm different. Looking at the starry sky, I remembered..." Joanna paused and smiled slightly, "I remembered the night we met. I vomited all over you."

Steve laughed helplessly: "Get rid of it, don't mention that."

"At that time, I was squatting on the side of the road, watching you wash your body with water. At that time, I felt that the stars all over the sky were about to fall and kill me. How could I... do such a stupid thing?"

Steve turned sideways: "You're not stupid at all."

"I'm glad to hear you say that."

"Joanna..."

"Ok?"

Steve stared at Joanna's profile, he had never been so nervous before, he even felt that the tongue in his mouth was about to get out of his control.

He heard himself asking, "Will you marry me?"

Joanna paused for a moment, then turned sideways and looked at Steve seriously: "Would you like to spend the rest of your life with a mute?"

"I just want to spend the rest of my life with you." Steve raised his hand to stroke Joanna's cheek.

"Even if you quarrel, can't you win me?"

"I don't quarrel with you."

"Even if it's possible for me to control you to do anything without you knowing?"

"I'm willing to take the initiative to do anything for you."

"Even if the bad future Strange talked about is possible?"

"I just want to have your future."

"Then... I will."

Under the stars, Steve kisses Joanna.

On the small island with no third person, all of this was witnessed by the stars in the sky saved by Joanna.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

finally!

Regarding this ending, I kneel myself first!I know this is not the same as the usual happy ending.

But I think that the bravery under the pressure of the situation is worthy of admiration, but the sacrifice of Steve and Jojo, who have seen the development trend of the situation and can make a choice that maximizes the interests of everyone, is closer to real hero.

Thank you little angels for your company and support along the way.

See you in the dossier!
