I used to believe in science

Tony Banner and Reed are testing the machine, Batman is here to help, and the rest of the Justice League are working with the remaining Avengers to finalize the details of the battle.

The leaky house and the continuous night rain are probably used to describe their current situation.

After Professor X, Batman brings worse news, an ultimatum from some higher race far beyond space.What they planned to do to Antoinette was something Tony would never agree to.

And this also pushed them into a desperate situation, and they could only fight with their backs.

Fortunately, there are enough smart people in this world. When they gather together without destroying the world, they will probably be able to come up with some ways to save the world.

"This is a good idea." After listening to Batman's transformation proposal, Tony nodded. He was surprised by Batman's insight into mechanical engineering. At the same time, his brain had turned three corners, and his fingers were light. Turn the dummy modeler and dial it a bit for further adjustments.

"You removed the safety device." Bruce couldn't help reminding him aloud.

"Yes, this can increase the output power by 12%. We can't estimate the power level of the Phoenix, so we'd better prepare for the maximum." Tony didn't have the slightest worry, as if it was a matter of course.

But Batman grabbed his hand to stop his movement, stared at him seriously and said word by word, "If this is the case, once your plan fails and the machine is overloaded, then the driver inside will not survive. He paused, carefully looking for the slightest bit of joke in the other party's expression, and suddenly understood, "You plan to do it yourself."

Tony shook him off, and gave him an indifferent look. Although he didn't speak, his eyes told him that he would not let anyone else do this.

Batman has nothing to say about that, it's Tony's business, he certainly has the right to make sure the plan is done, and without Tony, Bruce would have chosen himself as the driver.But he still warned that "Antoinette will not be happy."

"Oh, let her tell me." Tony raised an eyebrow.

"Speaking of which, I keep Cyborg on the lookout, and let us know if she shows up." Batman kept paying attention to Tony's expression when he said this. He knew what Tony had done to Extremis. He now has a With an electronic brain, he can theoretically do what the steel frame can do. He may be more familiar with connecting to the network than Apocalypse Technology. After all, Tony has a genius brain.But the other party didn't even look back at him, which made him no breakthrough.

Therefore, he could only venture straight to the subject of his guess, "You know where she is." He used his own determined tone, not giving the other party the slightest chance to be sloppy.

Tony's shoulders stiffen for a moment, and Bruce doesn't miss it, the advantage he has over Tony is that he actually sat in on a psychology class at Stanford.So he kept looking at the other person until Tony sighed, "I don't like you guys who read people's hearts."

In the end Tony admitted frankly, "I only have one chance, and I don't want to waste it."

He and Steve explained the same way. When he implanted the tracking chip for Antoinette a year ago, the silent agreement was that Antoinette would grant Tony the right to know all her whereabouts, but Tony should also respect Antoinette. privacy, not to use this privilege casually before she really endangered it.

Now Antoinette is hiding from everyone, which means she doesn't want to talk about it. Tony is not sure what will happen if he contacts her at this time. The worst possibility is that they will lose her track completely.

However, Batman disagrees with this view, because he said to him "If there is only one chance, then the time is now."

Antoinette stood in the FBI's headquarters building in Quantico, subconsciously hiding in the shadows when someone passed by the corridor.Then when that person walked past her without looking sideways, he remembered that she had given herself a foolproof invisibility technique.

Praise the magic.

Antoinette smiled at Natalie's smug expression in her heart, and stopped when another person hurried past her.

It was someone she knew very well.

JJ was just like in her memory, hurrying past with a pile of files, the only difference was that her slightly bulging belly indicated that she was pregnant again.

Antoinette almost wanted to show up and congratulate her immediately.But she held back, because Garcia came over in a hurry, took the file in her hand and greeted her well, and then the two walked to the office together.

Antoinette followed them in the office area belonging to their group.

She stopped at the door, watched it close in front of her but didn't follow.The rest of the office area looked at JJ as they walked in, and Morgan frowned and opened his mouth to say something because Antoinette hadn't heard through the glass door.

But other people's faces became a little ugly, and JJ shook his head helplessly, so everyone looked in one direction.

There was Antoinette's original place, but now it is empty, and it still maintains the appearance that Antoinette left, even the pencil she usually used to scribble is lying on the table.

Garcia walked over, bent down, picked up a sticky note, pasted it back carefully, and said something.This time Antoinette could see what she was talking about from the shape of her mouth.

"She'll be back soon," she said.

Maybe not.

Antoinette thought bitterly that she might never go back to the past.She is the host of the Phoenix. Half of the creatures in the world want to destroy her, and the other half want to control her to gain power.

This is probably the only group of people in the whole world who are willing to believe that she will not want to use her because of these things, except Tony.But they didn't know these things, Antoinette could tell from their behavior, she thanked Tony, it seemed that he didn't tell the rest of the BAU all the things.

What if they knew the truth?Antoinette thought that they would not just want to destroy her, but they might be afraid, embarrassed, and at a loss.

Maybe they won't, maybe they'll accept her as long as she's still her.But soon they will completely lose 'Antoinette' this person.

the night before.

Antoinette looked at the person opposite who was biting a lollipop, and the person blinked at her again, then took another thing out of his pocket and patted it on the table in front of her. Antoinette lowered his head and saw a Packs of cigarette cases and a cheap lighter stacked on top of each other.And her fingers trembled twice because of these two things.

She finally knew what was missing from this feeling that was troubling her.

She has never touched any cigarettes herself, and Natalie is not a smoker.But just like Antoinette himself would choose something to drink when he was upset, coffee, tea, cocoa.Natalie probably has her own way of decompression.

She restrained herself hard and leaned back on the chair, "You are the least angelic one I have ever seen."

"I'm glad you can comment on me that way." Gabriel smiled proudly instead of ashamed.

"They said we knew each other well?"

"I don't use the word 'very familiar' to describe our relationship, honey, you just think of my right hand... er... Don't think about it, I mean if I lose it, I can't deal with those Trivial and irritating things."

Antoinette ignored the other party's intention to speak yellow, and nodded, "Understood, I am your Pep."

"It turns out that my mother has been working hard for a long time." She lowered her head again as she muttered, and then decided not to resist that impulse.So she picked up the pack of cigarettes, poured out one, lit it, and held it in her hand.

Watching the smoke rising calmed her a lot. She watched the smoke drifting away, and asked casually, "You bring good news."

"That stupid book always writes me as the evangelist, and I should have protested that." Gabriel rolled his eyes before nodding. "Yes, I brought good news, the slightly better one." kind."

"I've heard that the problem that's been bothering you is that you're worried that the Phoenix Force is coming to you and that you can't control it. It's a very valid concern. It's an ancient thing that went back before Dad created the world. Something that just exists, and the little human brains that have only a few decades can't understand it... But you are not human at heart, dear."

"I remind you that although many people tell me that I am not a human being, I feel that I am a human being, not a very ordinary one." Antoinette pointed out without losing the opportunity.

"Your memory, with your glory, was stripped from your body when you came into the world." Gabriel made a split gesture, and then drew a circle "like Anna Similarly, when you find your glory, you can remember everything...then you have a slight chance of controlling Phoenix."

"It's not [-] percent possible."

"Of course." Gabriel nodded and said as a matter of course, "The phoenix is ​​a very ancient thing."

"...Then suppose I can control the Phoenix..." Antoinette was silent for a while, she was thinking about calculating the possibility, and she spoke only after the smoke was half burned, "What is the price?"

Antoinette woke up suddenly.

She found herself meeting Rhett's gaze.

During the moment when she was distracted, Rhett raised his head at some point and looked outside.

Antoinette knew he couldn't be looking at her, because she was invisible, Rhett couldn't see her, and they were separated by a door...

But Rhett blinked, seemed unsure, but still walked around the chair to the door.

So Antoinette took two steps back, realizing she was wrong, Rhett was walking towards her.

"Hey? Rhett, are you okay?" Morgan stopped arguing, looked at the person who walked to the door and opened it but stood there, and asked with concern.

"I just saw..." Rhett looked around, but there was no one at either end of the corridor, so he stopped talking, turned back and closed the door, "It's nothing, I saw it wrong."
