Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

Lucy, Jimmy, Luther, and Steve are sitting in a basement.

Lucy couldn't think of such a combination no matter what, but it was indeed in front of her eyes. People have been guessing what Luther's purpose is. Aiming at the general election two years later, becoming Steve Rogers' chief of staff is to figure out the intricate relationship between Congress.

Lucy also has such doubts. After all, it is very possible for Luther to become president, but she doesn't like Luther, but she can't interfere in the general election. She can't decide whether a person can lead the American people based on her personal likes and dislikes.And Luthor played a very powerful role around Steve.

Steve's connections in Washington are very shallow, and people here will not automatically bow down when they look at that majestic face.Instead of conquering them with temperament, it is better to firmly grasp the lifeblood of everyone.After staying in Washington for a week, Luther summed up a small book. The first time he used that book, he called a congressman who clearly opposed the super prison plan. "Unfortunately" he called a woman , It was a high-end call girl. When he called the woman, the congressman was lying next to the call girl and panting heavily.

Luther said: "Hello, Reina, I must have made a mistake, but if Mr. Congressman happens to be by your side, please pass on my regards."

Then the congressman changed his attitude the next day. This is an easy bone to gnaw, but there are always some "old bones" who are innocent and clean, so you need to think about it, so Luthor put Jimmy O. Ersen dug over.

Jimmy Olsen became a popular political reporter after pulling out the S.H.I.E.L.D. scandal, but Luthor actually poached him to do intelligence gathering. For the sake of money, Jimmy could do anything but sell his soul Do.

While hanging upside down on his fitness machine, doing exercises with his head on the sides, Steve participated in the discussion: "I have been trying to figure out the bottom of the Congress since I put forward the bill, and the issue is a bit complicated. Now the majority party and the minority party There are splits in the party, some people think that the super prison project is more violating human rights than the death penalty, especially the part about freedom. There are also some people, guess what they say - they say 'we freeze them, just for later Let them live in a more developed society, we don't have a chance to see that magnificent future, and these villains can, thanks to Steve Rogers, they do it for life equality. 'God, what do they think so many fallacies."

Steve's undershirt was folded down because he stood upside down, revealing his muscular belly. The mermaid line was clear and perfect. Lucy couldn't take his eyes off it.

I do it purely for the beauty of the human body, Lucy told herself ten thousand times.

After Steve finished a round of exercise, he grabbed the horizontal bar and flipped up, then circled his abdomen around the bar, and jumped down. He wiped his sweat with the corner of his clothes, and his body was covered in crystal clear sweat , gleaming under incandescent lights.

Jimmy pushed Lucy, and Lucy realized that she had been staring at the man's body for a long time. Luther snickered beside him, and Lucy glared at him fiercely.Luther suppressed his smile and continued to discuss the number of votes with Steve: "Don't worry, Congress is a place where you can pick and choose, but as we discussed, the bill is an introduction, and it gives you a chance to draw a card." Opportunity, you have to take advantage of this time to sort out the cards in your hand so that you can play the next round."

next round?Lucy noticed Luther's words. Sure enough, Luther had other purposes. Obviously, the "super prison" plan was only the first step.Lucy shifted her eyes to Steve. He listened carefully like a schoolboy, and seemed completely attracted by Luthor's arguments. Lucy was worried that Luthor's influence would gradually expand on Steve. It's unfortunate that there's an Alien Registration Act coming out.

Luther counted the estimated number of votes on the blackboard. The names of congressmen were written on the small magnetic strips on the blackboard. Luther divided them into support, opposition and neutral: "Let's look at the House of Representatives first, the majority party Whip is on your side, but he can't convince the speaker, the speaker hates captain america, both you and barnes. now we estimate a majority of 236 votes in the house, but the speaker is exerting his influence , if we get down to 217 votes, we won't pass."

The organizational structure of the House of Representatives is very clear. There are 435 legal seats that can participate in voting. If the bill is to be established, 218 votes must be obtained.If Steve wins the vote in the House of Representatives, it will also be good for him to go to the Senate to vote next.Fortunately, the party whip of the practical majority party is on his side, and his strong mobility also allows Steve to get through the key points of the majority party, but the leader of the majority party—that is, the third largest party in the country The politician—the speaker of the House of Representatives, is completely unimpressed with the vice president's bill. It is definitely a big problem to bypass him to promote the bill to win votes.

Jimmy bit his pen: "Now I know six people who are still swinging."

He named the six, and Luthor moved them to neutral.

Luther asked, "Do they have any projects going on?"

The House of Representatives has always been relatively regional. To put it bluntly, the members of the House of Representatives are the parents of the people. He controls the general direction and projects of a region's construction, but at the same time he needs to win enough resources in Washington to promote these projects and realize his commitment to voters. Promise of.The way to leverage congressmen is undoubtedly to satisfy their desire to serve voters.

"Two in Michigan and Idaho, one wants to advance public education reform, and the other wants to keep the wood mills in his district."

"How profitable is the wood factory?"

"Even if it is saved, it can only last for one and a half years. After one and a half years, the current tree felling protection bill will expire. There are rumors that Congress is promoting a new environmental protection bill to reduce the number of trees felled. At least half of the staff will be laid off, and the number is probably around 1."

"Okay, we don't care about it, it's going to end sooner or later, we don't associate with those who only care about their immediate interests." Luther let it go directly, "Let's talk about the one about public education reform."

Steve suddenly said: "Wait, we just let it go like this? You said that if the wood factory can't keep it, 1 people will have no food."

"Yeah, so he still has a year and a half to create something that replaces the wood factory, but that's not our business," Luther said.

"Why, if it can help these 1 people why not do it?"

Luther looked like he wanted to roll his eyes: "Yes, sir, there are tens of thousands of people in Africa waiting to drink water, why don't you fly over and dig a well?"

Steve choked, he looked at Lucy secretly, showing that pitiful look, and said silently with his mouth: "He is so harsh to me."

Luthor was interrupted by Steve, forgetting where he was going, so he further explained his argument: "The Idaho state is not cost-effective in terms of time and energy costs. Manufacturing a new industrial project itself requires multiple votes to be implemented, and more than 3000 million working capital is required to start it. It takes more than three months to put forward new proposals and approve and vote. This is still what we need The energy expended on him."

Steve was completely speechless, but he looked a bit conflicted: "Let's at least warn Mr. Congressman."

Lucy said: "Not everyone can accept the reality. If you tell him directly, he will feel that you are threatening him."

Steve nods dejectedly.

Luthor seemed like the one running the show, and Steve was just his disciple.

They finished all the swinging congressmen one by one, and Luthor decided to let his political lobbyist persuade the congressman who wanted to promote public education reform to set his goal a little smaller, so as to give them a chance to move. his chance.Luthor seemed certain to advance to the super prison.And Lucy only needs to be responsible for monitoring the trends in all aspects, gathering all existing opposing opinions, and repeatedly deliberating on the rationality of the proposal.

After the seminar ended, they left Steve's house separately. Steve left Lucy behind. He was going to visit her in Peggy's nursing home. to the nursing home.But before that he wanted to buy some flowers, and women always had better taste in these things than men.

The two drove to a beautifully decorated flower shop together. The flower shop owner enthusiastically introduced them to the new flowers that had just been transported by air. Lucy picked a bouquet for Steve, wrapped it up and tied it with a firework. See It looks beautiful.She teases Steve as she hands the flowers: "You look like you're going to get married, handsome boy."

Steve lowered his head shyly and smiled shyly.

When they left the flower shop, Steve politely refused the action of his bodyguard to open the door. He said to Lucy, "I can see that you have something to say to me."

Lucy considered her words, and finally said, "Don't let Luthor influence your own judgment, that's all."

Steve nodded solemnly: "He knows a lot, but sometimes he is too tough, and I just need his complement. I always want to take care of everything, and he is more business-minded and knows how to choose. But Don’t worry, I’m still me, if it’s something I think I should fight for, I will never give up a single step.”

Hearing what Steve said, Lucy felt a little relieved.

"How did Luther find you?" Lucy had another question.

"Resume." Steve said, it's as simple as that. There are indeed many people who want to join him through various relationships. Only Luthor followed the normal procedure and sent his resume through formal channels, which made Steve The husband immediately looked at him differently, "We talked once, and I told him that I, the vice president, don't have much power. If he wants to seek political development, he should find another high. He said that the power of the vice president It can be big or small, depending on what I want to do for Americans."

Lucy thought that the poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden that encouraged Eve to eat apples must be named Luther. Who can resist such a temptation, not even Lucy herself.Luther didn't seem to say anything, but he seemed to have said everything.

Lucy was silent for a while and asked: "Have you discussed the matter of aliens? You know, Luthor has always been hostile to non-human beings. I heard him say that you are going to prepare for the next round of 'playing cards'."

"Indeed." Steve nodded, "He wants me to initiate a new bill, and the government needs stricter methods of checking aliens."

coming!I knew it!Alexander Luther, you really don't feel comfortable if you don't come up with an alien registration bill!

Lucy began to gear up in her heart to tear down Luther.

"I don't think that's necessary. The United States is a country of immigrants. Our diversity has made us what we are today. If we can't keep an open mind to embrace alien immigrants, what is the difference from the Ku Klux Klan?" Steve said. Lucy's jaw dropped in shock, "What's more, before the racial problem of our own humans has not been solved, why create a new racial problem out of thin air?"

Lucy stammered and asked, "So...so Luther was persuaded by you?"

"No, of course not!" Steve smiled wryly. "He is a tough man. I told you that he made another suggestion—let the US government extradite Rocky Odinson."

Lucy exclaimed, "What?"

Steve shrugged: "I think it's feasible, but we'll have to wait until after the super prison project. Ah..." He stopped in front of a jewelry store, "Come with me to pick out a ring, I Been looking at it for a long time."

Steve changed the subject and ended the discussion completely. Lucy understood that Steve didn't want to reveal too much about the matter. Steve took Lucy into the counter of a ring shop, and then pointed to a corner to see It looks like an inexpensive and not luxurious ring. There is not even a diamond on the ring, but there is a circle of words tattooed on the inner circle: We share happiness and sorrow, such a life.

Steve asked her, "How about this ring?"

Lucy was firmly attracted by it. This oath is more dazzling than diamonds. There is no love between the lines and no eternity in it, but it makes people feel romantic and solemn commitment.

"I like this ring very much." Lucy admitted that she suddenly felt that the occasion was a little bit wrong, and she and Bucky hadn't had time to pick out the ring with Steve before she had time to go to this step.

Steve asked the teller to take out the pair of rings. He twisted the lady's ring and said to Lucy, "Can you try it?"

Lucy nodded under the ambiguous smile of the clerk, it seemed that Steve didn't notice what was wrong at all, he put the ring on Lucy, and when Lucy watched the ring cross the second joint, Heart started beating wildly.And Steve didn't realize it, he just watched the ring shining on Lucy's hand carefully, and then he put on the men's ring himself, comparing it with Lucy's hand, and finally he raised a Smile: "I really like it."

Steve took off the ring, asked the clerk to wrap it up, and went to pay the money himself, while Lucy stayed where she was, cooling her blushing cheeks with her cold hands.

What's there to be ashamed of! !While taking deep breaths, Lucy thought: ...How on earth did Bucky get the name of Brooklyn's flirtatious little prince? Steve dumped him three times.

Steve turned his head slightly, and he raised the corner of his lips when he saw Lucy standing there looking dumb and bewildered.

The clerk asked, and handed Steve a note: "What name do you need engraved on the inner circle of the ring?"

Steve wrote four letters: LUCY
