Amanda Waller, is a ruthless person.

This black woman born in the DC world, from the moment she was drawn, was destined to stand on the opposite side of everyone.

There are three types of characters that are common in the comic world, innocent passers-by, heroes, and villains.

For most characters, you have to choose a side to join. Amanda Waller does not abide by this rule, her choice is to use innocent passers-by as bargaining chips to win over the heroes and villains who can be co-opted, and to deal with those who can't.

She has no principles, no bottom line, no standards, and only one of the most basic beliefs: all people can become a threat to the United States.

Belle was a little curious, did all of them include Waller himself?

She did not panic at Waller's threat to sentence Peter to death. Her team of lawyers is good enough to stand up to Waller in court. If Waller had played a shady role, she and Peter would have teamed up, and the plot of the prison escape would have ended with just one sentence.

What's more, although 37 of the 50 states in the United States still retain the death penalty, Washington, D.C., where they were at this time, and Peter's hometown of New York, did not have the death penalty.

So what she really cares about is Waller's origin and true intentions.

Why does a character from the DC Universe appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

She didn't think it was a time-traveler, as Waller was distinctly different from the traverser trio she had encountered before.

First, Waller kept his real name, and for unknown reasons, all three of them, including Bruce Day, chose a pseudonym.

Of course, this may be because none of the trio's real names are suitable for the modern context of the United States, and Amanda Waller is a real English name that does not need to be changed.

Secondly, considering that White Walker, who traveled as the king of strange ghosts, modified his appearance, it shows that they have the ability to adjust their image. Since she has this ability, Belle doesn't believe that any time-traveler is willing to start her own life in another world under the image of Waller.

The most important thing is that this Waller's style of doing things is really very Waller.

Since learning the secrets of the "water" around her body, she has been able to carry out meticulous investigation of everything that goes into the "water". So from the moment she pushed the door in, Belle already knew that this Waller was a robot stand-in.

This is the only way to explain why Belle's psychic ability to put psychological pressure on the FBI agents out of bad taste (shaking high heels) does not work at all against Waller, who is also just an ordinary person.

Moreover, she also believes in the existence of such advanced simulation robots, after all, in the comics, Maria Hill relied on the robot double to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Skrull army. However, the cost of such a robot must be surprisingly high, and she estimates that even with Waller's high level, it is at most just a stand-in.

The use of a robot stand-in is typical of Waller's style: never take risks unless necessary! (This is borrowed from the pre-52 setting).

The second rule of Waller's typical style is to propose a deal that people can't refuse. Generally speaking, this "can't refuse" means that once you refuse, either you die or the person you love the most dies. It has nothing to do with the happy ending of a win-win situation. When used on Belle, it threatens to sentence Peter to death.

And the traversal trio has never shown any behavior that is consistent with the archetypal identity of the characters.

But then again, if the three of them were really scheming to the point that all their actions were disguises, just to make the most of this Waller, then Belle would admit it. It's not unjust to lose to such a powerful opponent.

Belle was thinking quickly and had to fall into a brief silence. But Waller wasn't going to give Belle time to think, she was going to take the other party in one go.

"If you're still lucky, you might as well take a look at this."

Waller handed over a tablet, the screen was divided into four according to the Cartesian coordinate system, each quadrant was a scope, and the crosshair was aimed at the heads of four people: Peter's favorite Aunt May, Jessica Jones's sister Tracy Walker, Pepper Pepper Pepper Potts, and the FBI director just outside the door, Emily Pantis.

Belle's eyes widened and she swallowed nervously.

"Why did you kill Aunt Mei?" She thought to herself, "Is it to threaten me, or do you already know that Peter is Spider-Man?" ”

After being stunned for a second, she realized that there were four people in the target, and each one was more influential than the other!

Seeing Belle's stunned application, Waller was very satisfied. So she struck while the iron was hot and said: "There are more than four targets, as long as I want, Sharon Carter, Vanessa Carlyle, Clint Barton's family, even the first lady, you name it, I can wipe it out at any time." ”

Belle came back to her senses, stared at Waller's expressionless face, and raised her hand to point at the surveillance camera.

Waller sneered and said, "It's not difficult to interfere with this signal. ”

Waller retrieved his tablet and continued, "You don't have to doubt the authenticity of these images, I don't need to play with that kind of psychological tactic. Of course, I'm not that stupid, and I can't kill them if I didn't have to. ”

"Well," Belle's tone became more and more unkind, "what do you mean by being unnecessary?" ”

"It's very simple, it won't be long before the Avengers will fall apart, Iron Man and Captain America will meet each other, and when the time comes, I hope you can support Iron Man."

Hearing Waller say this, Belle's heart suddenly began to beat wildly.

Did Waller know that the civil war would happen? Or does she not know, but intends to secretly manipulate and provoke a civil war in the Avengers?

She forcibly calmed herself down, and pretended to be confused and asked, "Sword and soldier meeting?" What do you mean? Is it like the American Civil War? ”

Waller nodded and said, "The analogy is apt. ”

Belle didn't know if Waller had understood her hint about civil war, but she couldn't go any further, so she could only continue the conversation: "But how can you trust me to do this now, even if I am forced to threaten you now?" ”

"It's so convenient to talk to smart people." Waller's voice was tinged with approval.

Belle immediately grasped the point, how to make Waller believe in herself.

Waller's usual practice is to leave the opponent with a deadly handle. For example, leaving the heart as a restraint, or planting a small bomb with a tracking device in the neck, she can take your dog's life at any time if she wants to.

But for Belle, none of these means worked.

So she was prepared.

"It's simple, I don't trust you, I believe in myself." Waller said, "No matter what you and your superhuman friends do to protect these people, I have the ability to kill them at any time!" ”

"Ho," Belle was directly amused by Waller's words, "of course it's not difficult to kill them, the question is, can you really afford to kill these people and the consequences?" ”

Waller said contemptuously, "Killing them directly will save me a lot of trouble." ”

"Oh? It seems that someone doesn't allow you to use the most convenient method directly? ”

"You're good," Waller said, "if you're not a damn superpower, I'd like to recruit you into my wing." ”

She neither admitted nor denied it. This made it impossible for Belle to judge her thoughts. Waller

Did she deliberately trick herself into thinking that she had stronger support behind her, or did Belle really guess her idea?

Waller continued: "Unfortunately, the presence of you people is a great threat to the whole world, and we are not destined to be united. But it doesn't matter, remember, what I ask of you, support Iron Man. ”

With that, Waller turned to leave, but was stopped by Belle.

"I thought you were here to interrogate me, but you left without asking anything?"

Waller asked rhetorically, "Is there anything to ask?" I've known exactly what happened in Los Angeles, and I don't need to ask you at all. But it doesn't matter what the facts are, does it? ”

Belle didn't speak, acquiescing to Waller's point of view.

"So I advise you, and your friends, to think it through. Your so-called superpowers are no different from juggling in my opinion. Don't think you're omnipotent, you know nothing about true power. ”

After Waller finished speaking, he had already walked outside the door, said coldly to the tired FBI agents, "let them go", and left in stride.

The surveillance signal returned to normal as soon as Waller left the room. At the urging of Wanda and Tony, Vision passes directly through the wall and lands in front of Belle.

"Are you alright?" Vision asked with concern.

"I'm fine, where are the captain and Tony?"

"Captain Rogers and Mr. Stark are both at the Avengers base, if you need it, I can arrange to send you ...... as soon as possible"

"No need," Belle interrupted him directly, "Peter and Jessica will be handed over to you first, and I will go first." ”

Belle walked quickly to the door and glared at the stunned group of agents, who immediately moved out of the way so that Belle could confront her director.

"May I go, Emily?"

Director Pantis shrugged helplessly and said, "I didn't plan on letting you come. But it can't be helped, the World Security Council is at a much higher level than ours. ”

"It's okay, I'll probably come back more often in the future."

"You're welcome," said Emily, "but when you come back, stop tormenting my agents, who just do what they are told, and don't provoke you." ”

"I try."

Belle said as she pressed her left hand directly against the wall, and as the arc flashed in her hand, all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity randomly failed, and a burst of electric sparks appeared, which provoked the detectives to exclaim.

"It's on the damn Secretary-General." She speaks to Emily and snaps her fingers at the agents outside of Emily, causing them to collectively fall into a very brief trance so that she can open a portal in the FBI building.

"Emily, it suddenly occurred to me that you had better come with me."

"Where are you going?" Emily asked.

"Avengers headquarters, I have something important to talk to the captain and them, and this matter has something to do with you."

Emily looked hesitant.

While Belle was working for the first lady, Emily and she would see each other from time to time. During the Washington crisis, the two men joined forces to fight against Hydra. There is also frequent cooperation between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the FBI. Several relationships are added together, and Emily, as the director, has some understanding of Belle's abilities. Naturally, she had heard that Belle once opened the portal and took four people from Washington, D.C. to New York State at once, and then went straight into a coma for several days.

So she asked, "Are you sure it's okay?" Wouldn't it be too much of a burden to have one more person? ”

"Don't worry, I know it in my heart, but you, it's better to be mentally prepared, this time is more terrible than the Hydra attack on Washington."
