Portal, a powerful and strategically important ability, is the least frequently used of all Belle's abilities.

Most of the time, she'd rather drive, fly, or even walk than use a portal.

High consumption and distance limitation are not the main reasons. The reason why she is reluctant to use the portal is because she trusts her instincts, and the instinct that has never gone wrong tells her that the risks of the portal are not something she can afford now.

Belle never understood why, but she guessed that it was also related to "water".

According to Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance, Belle itself is equivalent to the junction of the two worlds, and "water" is the energy that maintains the stable existence of the junction. The ability to stir up spatial stability within the range of this energy is not a good thing to think about.

Fortunately, Belle's other short-distance movement skill, "Space Jump", relies on a completely different principle, which will not have any effect on spatial stability, and can be used at will. She also relied on this ability to repeatedly save the day in battle.

But today, the situation was exceptional, and she felt that she should take the risk and buy some time. Even though it only takes more than an hour to reach the destination on an Avengers plane, Belle can't afford to wait.

She did make the most of the hour, and by the time Vision and Wanda returned to the Avengers headquarters with Peter and Jessica, Belle had already finished debriefing.

The original report, including Waller's statement that Iron Man and Captain America will part ways and meet each other.

Because she really couldn't think of any excuses, after all, this was the only thing Waller asked for.

Of course, while talking about it, Emily Pantis was invited out of the conference room.

Emily wasn't upset about being left out, and she even felt a little lucky. She believed that what she couldn't say in front of her was the most terrible thing.

She was glad she didn't have to face the most terrible things. After all, the content related to her is appalling enough.

The First Lady is in constant danger of being assassinated, and the killer is actually sent by the World Security Council!

And Belle confessed that the reason why she told Emily about it was because Emily herself was also a possible target for assassination.

As the director of the FBI, Emily was prepared for a situation where her safety would be threatened. Therefore, after hearing about this, her first reaction was not panic and anger at all, but she sensibly realized that her identity as the target of assassination helped her win the trust of the Avengers.

She will not fail to live up to that trust. She has to find out the undercover agents around her, and she has to ensure the absolute safety of the first lady.

So, she calmly accepted Belle's request to leave the conference room, and gently closed the door when she left the room. In just a few steps, she had gone through the list of all the people who were in the room with her at the time.

Undercover agents are among these people.

Although Belle destroys the camera, that's when she doesn't want to be filmed using the portal. Everything that happened before that was faithfully recorded. Amanda Waller was supposed to be interfering with the video feed in the interrogation room. Emily's position at the time, there should be no problem.

Just start here, and do it yourself, and you can't expect anyone.

Emily pondered and set out on the way back.

After confirming that Emily had closed the door, Belle retold Amanda Waller's request in the original language.

Unexpectedly, a calm Captain America looked a little excited after hearing this, but Tony Stark was unusually calm.

He made a gesture to the captain not to worry, and then said to Belle, "We know this, you have done a good job, you have worked hard, go and rest." ”

Belle didn't have any objections, so she followed Tony's words, turned around and left, and as soon as she went out, she happened to meet Vision and bring someone back.

Peter craned his neck curiously, trying to glance through the crack in the door that had not yet been closed to glance into the conference room, but he happened to meet Belle's stern gaze, and had to turn his head in dismay, pretending to look at the security bulletin on the other wall.

Wanda wasn't too aware of what was going on, but she shrewdly chose to keep her mouth shut.

Vision is not very good at understanding the complex little situations of the human world, and his focus is more on the matter itself, so he asks, "We just met Director Pantis on the way here, she seems to be a little anxious, do you want us to arrange for someone to take her back to Washington?" ”

"Can anyone help me get me back?" Jessica interjected impatiently, "I'm just a private detective, and I can't take care of these major events that threaten world peace at every turn." ”

This sentence seems to be complaining, but in fact it is extremely pragmatic, and it really speaks Belle's heart: I just want to mess around, why did I get involved in such a mess?

It's a pity that she doesn't have a chance, let alone a right to whine like Jessica, so she can only turn to Vision for help: "Please find someone to send her back, she can't drive." ”

Although Vision politely replied that he would "be more than happy to help", before he could make any arrangements, someone took the initiative to take the job.

Natasha Romanoff came from the end of the hallway, stopped behind Belle, and put her left hand directly around Belle's waist.

"I happen to have something to do to go to New York, so let's go with Miss Jones if she doesn't mind."

As she spoke, she turned to Belle again, raised her head slightly, leaned into Belle's ear and whispered: "I know everything, I guess you will have to go back in a while, let's have a drink together tomorrow night, I have something to talk to you about." ”

……

Black Widow, from her style of acting, career choices, and even her nickname, you can see that she is an old driver, in every sense.

To be a qualified veteran driver, one of the basic qualities is to be able to drag race.

Sitting in the top sports car driven by Black Widow, Jessica would glance at the dashboard from time to time, which also kept her adrenaline level at a very alarming height as the car speed.

After all, all the loved ones died in car accidents, and this intense trauma is likely to stay with Jessica for the rest of her life, tormenting her all the time.

Her face gradually turned pale, her palms continued to sweat, her breathing slowly became cramped, and even thinking became extremely difficult.

This is exactly what Black Widow wants, Jessica in this state, the most vulnerable and the most easily breached.

"Private detective, huh?" Natasha said, stepping on the accelerator a little deeper, "What do you usually do?" Looking for a missing person? Gather evidence of cheating? Help deliver summons to more troublesome people? ”

Jessica didn't say a word, she felt like she was going to throw up.

Natasha pretended not to see it and continued to herself, "Don't you feel bored? Or do you just use this as a means to make money, starve to death, and drink alcohol? Anyway, if I were you, I'd be so annoyed by this boring day that I want to vomit. ”

"I want to throw up right now." Jessica said bitterly.

Natasha braked suddenly, and before it could come to a complete stop, Jessica hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car, lying on the side of the road and vomiting wildly for a while, then fell to the ground, panting and cursing in her mouth.

Natasha thoughtfully handed over a bottle of water and asked Jessica to rinse her mouth or something.

Ten minutes later, the two of them set off again, and Natasha stopped racing, but stabilized her speed at a comfortable 60 miles per hour.

Natasha let go of the steering wheel, turned to face Jessica, and said, "Let's get down to business." ”

Seeing Jessica's face bloodless with fright from her seemingly crazy behavior, Natasha added: "We have been using Stark Technologies' self-driving technology for many years. ”

Jessica took about a minute to digest this fact, and she relaxed a little.

"So you just drove so fast just to fix me?" She asked rhetorically, her tone unabashedly angry.

"It's just a little bit of vomiting, to prevent you from having a bug in your stomach or something." Natasha said, her tone relaxed and natural, completely unconcerned about Jessica's emotions.

“WTF？” If it weren't for the fear of a car accident, Jessica would really want to kill Natasha with one punch. "How could anyone do such a disgusting thing?"

"Then you'll just take me for a joke." Natasha said noncommittally, "But seriously, you've been a private investigator for so many years, haven't you seen many disgusting things?" ”

"You'd better tell me what's going on, I'm very uncomfortable right now, and I'm not in the mood to beat around the bush with you."

"Well, I'd like to hire you to investigate someone."

Jessica didn't even think about it and said, "I refuse." ”

Natasha asked, "Don't you know how much money I'm going to pay?" ”

Jessica asked rhetorically, "Is it enough for me to hire ten more people to do this, and the rest of the money can pay for a year's rent plus fifty cases of bourbon?" ”

Without hesitation, Natasha replied, "Enough." ”

Jessica instantly regretted not saying more.

But Natasha seemed to see through her thoughts, so she added: "You can want more, as long as you can get the job done." ”

"With so much money, why don't you just hire someone else to do it? If you don't know him, I can introduce you to one, there is a surname Cheng, although he is not as good as me, but he is not bad, as long as the money is in place, he can take any job. ”

"Really?" Natasha asked, "Would you be comfortable with someone investigating the person who was going to kill Tracy Walker?" ”

"The next time we meet, it's best to start straight to the point." Jessica said coldly.

Since it was said that the next time we met, it means that Jessica has taken the job.

"There's a check in the glove box, it's a commission for this job."

Jessica took out the check and looked at it, almost blinded by the string of zeros.

"The person you want to investigate is the one you met earlier today, Amanda Waller."

"So she killed Tracy to threaten me?" Jessica

"It's to threaten us all," Natasha said, "whether you like it or not, you're now considered one of us." ”

"Damn it." Jessica scolded, not knowing who she was scolding.

What Natasha said was almost equivalent to identifying Jessica Jones as officially joining the Avengers.

For some, being recognized as an Avenger is definitely one of the best moments in life. But Jessica Jones, she'd rather beg on the street than be an avenger. What's more, the price of being an avenger is that the most important person in life is threatened by her life.

"So, Trish isn't the only one with death threats, right?" Jessica asked.

"Of course not," Natasha said, "almost everyone is in the same situation, so now everyone is trying to solve their problems and have no worries to deal with the current situation." ”

"What about you?" Jessica asked, "Parents?" Sibling? Lover? Or what? Don't you have to deal with it? ”

Natasha couldn't help but smile wryly.

"If that Waller can find him, I'll have to thank her."
