Everyone has already entered S.H.I.E.L.D., and it doesn't make much sense to worry about Joanna's concealment.To put it another way, since the two met, Joanna hasn't done anything against him, or even troubled him.On the contrary, Joanna has been in constant trouble because of his relationship.

After thinking about it, Steve found that he couldn't get angry at all.

The steak on the plate was completely cold.Even Steve, who has always been thrifty, found it a little hard to swallow.The experience of this day and the truth he knew made it difficult to digest. Steve decided to let himself go and no longer force himself to finish the food in front of him.He gently pushed the plate aside so that the table in front of them looked tidier.

But this action, in the eyes of Joanna, became a signal that she was about to lose her temper.Joanna couldn't help shivering.

Steve:? ? ? ? ?

After waiting for a while, Joanna never saw Steve attacking her.So she raised her head and looked at Steve timidly: "Are you angry?"

Steve didn't expect Joanna to be so afraid of him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.So, when he answered Joanna, his tone was very gentle: "No, it's not your fault."

Steve's tone was sincere, and his eyes looked gently at Joanna's face.Joanna suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

But the other party talked about this, and Joanna felt that if she didn't admit her mistake at this moment, she would miss the best time.

Joanna cleared her throat and said, "Then... can I say one, I think it's my fault?"

Steve:? ? ? ? ? ?

"Well, two days ago... You also know that the establishment of the Avengers Alliance caused a great sensation."

Steve didn't understand why Joanna brought up the Avengers, but it was serious business for him, so he couldn't help putting on a serious face.

Seeing Steve like this, Joanna felt even more disturbed.She took a sip of her wine nervously, and said in a somewhat innocent tone: "You know, as for me, I work in the public relations department now. Do you know that the public relations department is responsible for handling public relations."

"I know."

Joanna took another sip of wine: "Well, as you know, we have entered the era of self-media now. Uh... Forget this term is not important, anyway, the current netizens are scary, very scary. Then, some Netizens are very interested in the Avengers. Of course, the focus of most netizens is very conventional, but there are always a few... strange questions that make people a little..."

Joanna talked for a long time without saying anything, and Steve couldn't help sighing: "If there is anything, you can just say it."

"There are netizens who are concerned about your bust size, so I guessed it and answered it casually." Joanna spoke so fast that she seemed to be reporting the battle situation on the battlefield of a near-death situation. "It seems that... I probably made a small mistake."

Steve:? ? ? ?

"I observed for a day today. You look...should be bigger than the bust I casually said that day."

Steve blushed, and subconsciously raised his arms around his chest.That action looked like it was preparing to defend against criminals.

Joanna shrank her neck and said very ashamedly: "Really, I'm very sorry. The visual error is my mistake."

Steve: Is this a data error problem? !

Rao is Steve's good temper, and now he is a little angry because of this kind of thing.But he didn't have time to show it.Because Joanna on the opposite side has already started to conduct a deep self-examination: "I really blame me for this matter, I should at least go to your file to check. But I really... can't spare time. Revenge After the establishment of the Alliance, I was not only required to follow up on the official media communication, but also the operation of all online accounts was entrusted to me. To be honest, the netizens who pester me to ask you about your bust|size are already very gentle. And A netizen asked me to introduce someone to Tony Stark. I also... really have no choice. I promise that I will improve my work style in the future and never make such low-level mistakes again."

Joanna's heartfelt self-criticism made Steve angry.After all, in the final analysis, Joanna is just a small employee who is oppressed by work.With a long sigh, he picked up his wine glass and took a big sip.

It's good to be able to drink!

Joanna finally felt relieved when she saw Steve's expression of not intending to pursue it.Don't worry, don't worry, I still have to express my attitude, Joanna leaned forward slightly, stared into Steve's eyes: "I promise, I will never make such a mistake again."

Steve felt a little embarrassed when he thought of that mistake, he frowned slightly: "Can't you refuse to answer this kind of question?"

Joanna froze for a moment: "If you don't answer them, I will introduce someone to Stark. I think...it's better to answer the questions...um...better."

Steve was silent, for the sake of this crazy world.

Steve's silence seemed to Joanna to be an expression of dissatisfaction, and quite dissatisfaction at that.To be reasonable, would Captain America yell at this kind of thing?I'm afraid no matter what tricks he encounters, he won't have a day of yelling.

Joanna opened a pair of sincere eyes: "You must not feel that I am treating you differently. It has nothing to do with who you are. Between 'revealing Tony Stark's measurements' and 'introducing someone to you', I I would also choose to get my measurements. It is purely because the option of getting my measurements is relatively strong, and there is absolutely no personal likes or dislikes in it.”

Steve didn't think it was a matter of personal likes and dislikes, he just thought it was a bad behavior to entertain soldiers' personal privacy.Of course, Tony Stark probably won't admit he's a soldier at all.

Steve felt that Joanna would not understand him.Sometimes, Steve feels that many people can't understand his ideas, which is probably the price he has to pay for sleeping for more than 70 years.

He smiled at Joanna: "It's okay, everything is about work."

Hearing what Steve said, Joanna finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the two had dinner, they walked slowly towards home.Not knowing if it was because of her colleagues, Joanna keenly discovered that Steve had no intention of sending her home.The two broke up at the subway station.When she boarded the latest subway, she still felt a little lost.But until Steve's figure disappeared from her sight, she didn't show this loss.

Rumors of a good relationship between Joanna Rickman and Captain America in the PR department quickly spread around S.H.I.E.L.D.Even the people in the public relations department looked at Joanna differently because of this.Regardless of whether the relationship between the two is unclear or not, the fact that Joanna can get along happily with an old man from World War II is worthy of everyone's surprise.

In the beginning, Joanna suffered a lot of unnecessary trouble and prejudice for this.But she didn't seem to care.Because it was about Steve himself, she also refrained from scolding her colleagues for the first time.She knew very well that no matter who she spoke to, the words would eventually reach Steve's ears.Originally, Clark Kent was a good target, but Joanna chose not to trust him in view of his last big-mouthed case.

She missed Harley terribly, very, very much.

She has been seeking help from all parties to investigate Halle's case.In order to find out the truth of the matter, she even put her mind on Tony.Fortunately, Tony is a loyal person. As soon as he heard that Harleen Quizell was in trouble, he immediately started investigating Harley's case without saying a word.

At first, Tony and Joanna share the same skepticism.Harley's case was a plot, or a scandal, in the Gotham Police Department.Whatever it was, Harley must have been wronged anyway.But as the investigation deepened, Tony soon discovered that the truth of the matter was not what they expected.

In November, Joanna got a call from the Gotham Police Department.At that time, Tony just raided Joanna's residence, and in her small apartment, he showed Joanna the collected information one by one.When the phone rang, Tony of course knew who it was.Worse, he knew why the other person was calling.

"Don't answer." Tony became serious.

"It's the Gotham Police Department." Joanna looked puzzled, "They must have discovered something."

"That's why I told you not to answer."

Joanna stared at Tony's face for two seconds before realizing what had happened.She held her breath a little painfully, and hesitated for a moment.Finally, she pressed the answer button.

"Hi, I'm Joanna Rickman."

"Miss Rickman, this is Gordon." Gordon's voice sounded lower than what Joanna remembered, "We found Harleen Quizell."

Joanna closed her eyes and asked after a while, "Is she still alive?"

"Yes."

Joanna breathed a sigh of relief, if Tony wasn't right in front of her, she felt that she would probably cry.

Gordon did not appear relaxed because of this, his tone was still serious and heavy: "She is currently being held in Arkham Hospital. I think you will want to know the news, so... that's why I took the liberty to call you."

After a moment of silence, Joanna asked, "Can I visit?"

Tony, who heard the words, frowned almost immediately.

Gordon on the other end of the phone hesitated for two seconds: "In principle, it's not possible, but... if Miss Rickman insists, I think we can think of a way."

"Thank you, Sheriff Gordon."

"You're welcome." Gordon paused and continued, "I hope you won't be too sad."

Joanna hung up the phone and sat on the sofa in silence.

Tony on the side couldn't stand it any longer: "You really plan to visit, don't you?"

Joanna kept her mouth shut and didn't answer.

"Listen, Dr. Quizell saved me, so I should visit her too. In fact, I do want to visit her. But Joanna, I don't recommend you go. You don't know anything about Gotham. Yes. You don't even know what kind of place Arkham Hospital is. Well, even I didn't know at first. Who would have thought America could have such a horrible prison."

Joanna frowned and said, "But I need to see Harry, I need to know the truth of the matter."

"I know it's hard to take, but Joanna, I gotta say, the cops didn't lie this time. At least they didn't lie to you."

Joanna nodded: "I know. But I still need to hear Harry tell me all this."
