[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Joanna didn't answer the question of joining the Avengers until she left Nick's office.To be honest, Joanna's first reaction was yes.For nothing else, a foundation was set up for Tony Stark to cover all the expenses of the alliance, and Joanna should agree.

Joanna visited Stark Tower, and there is nothing to say about the working environment and working conditions of the employees.From this point of view alone, agreeing to join the Avengers is a sure-fire deal.

However, Joanna did not dare to give an answer in the end.

The reason is also very simple, she is afraid that she will have her life to earn money, but not her life to spend it.After all, she is just an ordinary person, unlike the Avengers, who either have incredible equipment or personal abilities, and there is no other green-skinned strong man living in her body. From the current point of view, she has no alien blood .She wasn't even as good as Coulson, she hadn't even touched a gun.If she joins the Avengers, what will she do to fight those evil forces.

The most important thing is... She still hasn't been able to find out who the insider of S.H.I.E.L.D. is.

This problem has been buried somewhere like a = mine, maybe one day it will explode|explode if you accidentally step on it.Before the situation became clear, Joanna even used the most pessimistic and malicious guesses to guide her decision-making.

What if Nick Fury is the insider?

No one said that the director can't be an insider.

If the inner ghost is really Nick, Joanna feels that at least she should stay away from his conspiracy, and have the opportunity to remind Steve when necessary.

That's right, Steve.

Looking up and down the shield, the only person Joanna trusts now is Steve Rogers.Only him, from the 30s.Only he would never be able to jump into the power disputes of the 21st century by himself.

As for the others, Joanna couldn't trust any of them.Including Amber who once fought with her in the underground office, including who helped Rumlow, and of course Coulson who dragged her into this muddy water and pretended to be dead.

Joanna took out her phone and clicked on the address book.

Since Steve joined S.H.I.E.L.D., the two haven't been in touch with Facebook, and the occasional few contacts are all directly by phone.She stared at Steve's name for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

All day, Joanna worried that Rodriguez would come to PR again to arrest someone.If she is brought up to the Special Operations Department again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for her to come out.

Rodriguez will think that she is Nick's person, and she actually did not agree to Nick's invitation, so Nick can't afford to conflict with Rodriguez over and over again for a little person like her.Joanna felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was a dark slaughterhouse.

However, what Joanna feared did not happen.But during off-duty hours, she ushered in an unexpected visitor.

Because of work contacts, Rumlow is also a frequent visitor to the PR department.Therefore, when he appeared at the door of the public relations department, no one took his sudden visit to heart.Even though, their colleagues were questioned by the Special Operations Department only this morning.

Joanna, who had been terrified all day, was taken aback when she saw Rumlow.

"Aren't you going to work overtime today?" Rumlow said with a sense of fatigue in his voice, "Have a meal together? We haven't chatted for a long time."

What Rumlow said was not an exaggeration at all.The two have had little contact since he left New York.Joanna came to Washington, except for the first time when Rumlow confessed her identity to her, the two chatted. After that, whenever they met, they talked about work.

At this moment, Joanna felt as if she had met a lost and found friend.It's a pity that in the current situation, she has to be wary of this friend from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Joanna agreed to Rumlow's invitation, but immediately said that she must pay the bill this time.Rumlow is also a fine person, and upon hearing Joanna's words, she understood that Joanna wanted to firmly hold the right to choose the dinner location.He didn't care where Joanna chose, because Joanna really worried too much this time.He didn't set an ambush, and he didn't intend to create any more tension with this opportunity.

The location was finally determined to be a commercial street not far from Joanna's apartment.The restaurant is a decent restaurant, with a bright facade and a wide view. Pushing the door is the right way, and the transportation is convenient.This refreshing place made Joanna feel quite safe.

Rumlow had no issue with the choice of location.In fact, after knowing Joanna's psychology and motives, Rumlow even had the urge to point Joanna.This kind of location that is exposed to public view and has convenient transportation is not a safe location.If he really intends to be against Joanna tonight.Even after dragging her out of the restaurant with violence without preparation, he could quickly plan more than five escape routes.Of course, if this happened, it would be widely reported by the news media the next day.But what good is that?For the victim, all of this is of no avail.

For the purpose of stabilizing Joanna's mind, Rumlow did not express his opinion.

The waiter in the restaurant opened the red wine in front of the two of them, poured it into a decanter and woke up.Joanna flipped through the menu slowly, but what she thought in her heart was: Damn it!This store is so expensive!

"What happened today... didn't bother you, did it?" Rumlow's tone was a little cautious, as if he was afraid of hearing a bad answer.

Joanna paused and looked up.

"I don't want to find out what the director said to you. It's just..." Rumlow hesitated, and then continued, "The relationship between Fury and Rodriguez is... tense. The relationship between the two is delicate. I I don't know if Fury misunderstood that you are helping Rodriguez, but judging from the situation this morning..."

"Rodriguez thinks I'm from Fury's side?"

Rumlow took a deep breath and nodded a little heavily.

This surprised Joanna a little.In any case, Rumlow is Rodriguez's subordinate, and SHIELD agents are the most particular about obeying orders.As far as the information she knows so far, Rumlow doesn't seem to be from Fury's side, so he should be from Rodriguez's side.At least... on the surface.And he is well aware of this.

According to their current identities and relationship.At this time, Rumlow can ask "Are you?"

As he once said, he didn't even need Joanna to answer, Joanna's subconscious reaction could give him the answer he needed.

But Rumlow didn't, he just admitted Joanna's conjecture.

"Will I be in trouble?" Joanna asked tentatively.

Rumlow sighed: "I don't want to make you nervous."

"I just want to be prepared."

Rumlow nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Joanna closed her eyes wearily.

"Sorry to bring you into this," Rumlow said sincerely.

"this is not your fault."

Rumlow pursed his mouth: "You drew conclusions too early. You don't even know why Rodriguez suddenly went to the PR department to ask for someone."

Joanna blinked and looked at Rumlow.

"When I came back to report the task the day before yesterday, the captain was not there. So, yesterday Rodriguez called the captain to the office and asked him why he didn't report back to the bureau on time. The captain said that he had something to do, so it was delayed."

"Then Rodriguez went to investigate Steve?" Joanna frowned.It is not difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D. to find out where a person went the first day, not to mention that this person is still a member of S.H.I.E.L.D.But Joanna didn't expect that Rodriguez was such a person who didn't trust his subordinates, and he went to investigate the whereabouts of his subordinates for a simple task report.

"No, he didn't." Rumlow took a deep breath and confessed, "I said the captain is looking for you."

Joanna:? ? ? ? ? ?What's the matter, big brother?

"Joanna, you don't know Rodriguez, and the captain is the same. He is not a gentleman. The captain did not further explain where he went, but said it was a private matter. Although Rodriguez did not express his opinion on the spot, But he really doesn't like his subordinates hiding things."

"Even if it's a private matter?"

"Even if it's a private matter."

Joanna was so angry that she poured herself a small glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp: "What a narrow-minded person."

"No matter what, Rodriguez will definitely find out why the captain left that day and where he went. That's why I told you about you."

"But I didn't give you a good face when I saw Rodriguez this morning."

Rumlow sighed: "Because someone gave different information, saying that the captain left the team halfway because of Tony Stark."

Right!

Doesn't this match what Nick was worried about during the day?Rodriguez really wanted to prove that the Avengers were deliberately tearing down S.H.I.E.L.D.Although, even Rodriguez knew full well that wasn't true.

All of this is just a tool used by Rodriguez to play against Nick.

Joanna poured some wine for both Rumlow and herself: "Can I treat you as a friend?"

Rumlow's heart moved, and he looked at Joanna: "Of course."

"Then let me be straightforward." Joanna picked up her glass and took a sip. "That minister of yours is really not a thing! In various senses."

Rumlow suppressed the anger in his heart, and put on a look of helplessness: "Joanna..."

"Is it because I have cooperated too much with the work of the Special Operations Department recently? Let him drift like this?" Probably because the first glass of wine was drunk too hastily, Joanna felt a little drunk, she took out her mobile phone and clicked on Twitter, "I Make news for him now."
