People must be aware that every time a character states something in a show, what will happen is the opposite of that.

Some examples:

Will on S3EP1 when he said "I'm not... gonna fall in love" and we learned that he fell in love with Mike on S4.

El in the letter Mike read in the beginning of S4EP1 "We're gonna have the best spring break ever" and what happened? They had the worst spring break ever for very obvious reasons I don't even have to state. The reasons are endless...

El when she said to Mike on S4EP2 "You'll meet my friends later, but today, I want today to be about me and you" and what happened? Mike actually met "her friends" who are actually her bullies later that day and the day got ruined because of them.

Eddie when he said to Dustin on S4EP8 "Never change Dustin Henderson" and what happened in EP9? Eddie died and I'm 100% sure Dustin will be very different next season because of that.

When Will on S4EP8 said to Mike on the van "She'll need you Mike, and she always will" regarding El and I'm sure she won't, haha. At least not romantically for so many reasons and we'll see that next season.

Things that are stated and said in such a direct way in a show will bring the opposite sooner or later.

SAYING JANE DOE AND JOHN DOES IS LIKE SAYING "FULANO DE TAL Y FULANA DE TAL" IN SPANISH OOOH

[flamingthespian]

Yeah you know what I will make a post about this

If you attacked Mistress Isabelle Brooks for her shade but spread nothing but love for Plane Jane’s bitchiness, you really need to check yourself. Think about it. Imagine Jane saying anything Mistress said, and how you would react.

𖦹 NANA Tour w/ Seventeen - EP 1

I'm sorry if there's any translation from Korean that is not entirely correct. I mainly used the sentences/convo/lines from the episode itself hihi. Currently into nana tour, cause i'm missing gose so muccch :""

Scoups entering the dark room alone to wake up Jane. 5 minutes had passed by since seventeen member knock on her door. She's the last two member to be awakened from sleep. Na PD, including the staffs still patiently waiting for her to come out. After further knocking and missed calls, still, no sign of movement or even sound. Scoups decided to take matter with his own hand by entering her room.

"nooka?", Scoups trying to wake her up in small voice. Noticing it wont work, he softly nudge her body to wake her up. "Hm? cheol oppa?", Jane starting to get in touch with the reality.

"Wake up and get ready. Everyone's waiting for you in front of the room", he answered gently. He then starts combing her messy hair with his hand waiting for an answer. "Just tell em to come inside, sleepy", she said while yawning.

"Just come in guys!", he said with a louder voice. Still standing right beside Jane who's now in sitting position instead of lying down. All members and staffs starts to barged in and immediately in awed seeing her awakened-bared face.

"Jein! Woah, you look very pretty waking up. Woah... seventeen members, as expected, handsome and beautiful humans", Na PD said.

Still in between dream land-and-reality, the only sentence that comes out of her mouth is, "Whose birthday are we going to suprise? Oh- Why so many people?". Hearing that, Seungkwan and Mingyu bursts laughing. "Yah! Someone give her water", Hoshi said. Jeonghan hand her a bottle of water. "Oh-Na pd? 안녕하세요? [hi?]", now that she's quite awake after drinking some water.

"HAHA, hi jane. C'mon, get up, were finally going to do it.. today! Youth Over Flowers!"

Still in confusion, she answered lightly, "huh? what? where?"

"Italy noona, I-TAL-LI-A" Dino added. Her eye wide open, she was gagged and her mouth was wide open.

Then, they continued to go to the next room and wake up the last member, The8. On their way to The8's room. Jane was walking beside Scoups, still in her pajama. She quietly ask him, "What about you? Are you going to go too?". He chuckled and answer, "No, how can i go.. this will need a little bit longer time to heal". Hearing that, Jane starts to look concern and sad, even though, just a second before she looks so excited with this trip. Knowing Jane have a little bit issue with separating with her loved ones, even if it's only several day, Scoups side hug her and keep reminding her, "It's okay. You'll be okay. I'm going to be okay. We're all going to be okay. Go have fun".

"OK! You only have 3 minutes to prepare. Go go go!" Na PD announce.

"WOAH, Thank god i packed my bags already. I'm a prepare child, no wonder my MBTI is 'J' '", Jane talked with the cameraman. The next moment we know, she comes back in frame looking more fresh now that she already washed her face and teeth. She quickly put on some moisturiser and put on some lip gloss. "Y'know, i feel like i'm cheating the system here by packing a small bag, but who cares, i'm just a girl hihi."

She entered the room with her finished look wrapped in a cardigan and a simple shoes. She was greeted by Na PD saying, "Ah! Bag is not allowed. It's going to get confiscated. Put it here".

Jane trying to protect her belongings by stating, "Just this small pouch! Can i just bring this pouch? this is my necessity items". Girls that get it, get it. She get a pass... BUT, only a small pouch.

Seventeen members are still speechless though (even Jane herself), they can't believe to be fooled that easily by Na PD. "To be honest, it's really hard to fool all 14 of us", Dino said.

"It's really not easy! It's really not easy!", the others comments too.

"Especially, Jane. She could always predict when something's coming!"

A while later, 6.30. Time to head to the bus. On her way to go downstairs, she saw PLEDIS CEO... "OH- 대표님!", she urged to hug him before she go inside the elevator. "Have fun, okay?" he command.

"Sir yes sir!"

Before entering the bus, she went straight to have a goodbye hug with Scoups. "I'm going to miss you, A LOT" She said, hiding her face in his neck crook. He replied, "I'm going to miss you too nooka", while hugging her back.

He starts to let go of their hug, caressing her cheek, "Go, the others waiting for you". She looks at his eye, "Wait for me okay! I'm going to go back and bring you many maany souvenirs"

At Incheon Airport, while waiting for boarding time to Rome, she stopped by a bookstore. After looking around, she decided to buy one, to accompany her during the long flight.

At the same time when Mingyu's accident (his passport when missing) happened, Jane disappears too. Wonwoo's, being the first one to noticed it, tell the others, even to the staff that haven't board yet, to help look out for her. But, before the staff could go further into panic mode, Jane appeared from the plane's bathroom.

"Sunu-ya, you scared us to death. I thought you haven't boarded and got lost", Wonwoo approached her.

"Wah, what is wrong with today. Don't give me another heart attack please. I'm begging you. And, DK, why? just whyy DK-ya?", Na PD said inside the plane. The others just chuckled.

Throughout the flight, Jane just read her book. Being bored, Wonwoo starts to get curious and kept on peeking on her. "Watchu reading?", he said trying to get her attention. Receiving no reaction from Jane, he playfully grab her hand and starts playing with her fingers.

" 'The Collected Regrets of Clover', it's sooo good", she answered. Just as she's going to flip to the next page, she can't move her hand. She tried to wiggle it out, but there's no use. Her hand is still intact with his hand. "Wonu oppa, i can't flip the next page", she complained.

"I could do it for you!", he said, flipping the page grinning.

Once they landed in Rome, Jane and the other korean members went straight to the bus after they're done with the migration. Jane decided to stick with Wonwoo and have a seat beside him. While waiting, she decided to contact her mom and Scoups informing that they already landed safely.

She leaned on Wonwoo's shoulder, occasionally peeking his phone to see him playing 'Go-Stop' with the others.

Once The8 and Jun complete their migration process, the bus started to move.

"Oh! You came"

"You're here"

"Great job"

"Come on, come on, come on"

Jane's start chatting with Jun who's seated right behind her. "You okay?". "Yeah, just tired", he answered.

"The line must be long, aigoo, you did a great job juni oppa. Here, take a choco bar i steal from the airplane", she offers

"Ah, thanks uki!"

"You too Hao oppa", giving another choco bar to The8, who's sitting not far from her.

Not being in the conversation with the others, Jane's confused on why everyone's laughing. She just stare at Wonwoo, asking 'what happened' with her eyes. "Ah, the airport is called Lenoardo da Vinci. But, DK suddenly just said, Vernon, he thought it was the other Leondardo DiCaprio", he explained.

"Ahhh", hearing that, Jane needs time to process. Then, realisation hit her. Chuckling and teasing DK. But, she get teased back because she realized too late, the joke was already stale.

Once they arrive in front of the colosseum, Jane was so amazed by it. It never conquer to her that it will be this massive big. Then, they took their own time to observe and look around.

Jane followed The8 to observe and admire it by their own eyes (not forgetting to take a picture too!).

Before they all went back, they took a photo with Scoups whose in the phone with Hoshi. "Go back to sleep, don't forget to eat the medicine. Bye bye coupsie oppa!", Jane added before Hoshi ended the call.

Arriving at the Airbnb, she decided to live in the same room with Dino and Jun. Then, she play a game that Na PD insisted, until, he decided to end it because it's hopeless seeing the member keep winning in every round. Before going to bed, they receive a letter that Scoups wrote, which ofc Jane voluntary ask if she can read it.

" Thank you for picking my letter. I feel so sorry for you guys going without any preparation. I will be waiting for you well in Korea. You can use this card however you want, okay? Have fun. I love you.", she read it aloud.

FUN FACT: the voice behind "Nana tour~" in between scene is actually jane's voice

Placeholder Names in Spanish

In Spanish, the word Fulano/a is used in situations where you're like "what's-his-name" or "whoever" or "so-and-so", a situation where you either can't remember or choose not to remember someone's name

Along with Fulano/a you may also see Mengano/a and Zutano/a

The original and most common is fulano/a which comes from Arabic; where Fulano al Fulani is kind of like saying "John Smith" or "John Doe", just used like "this person whose name we don't know"

You'll also see Fulano de Tal and Fulana de Tal as being "what's-their-name from Wherever/Such-and-Such"

The other term is also understood but it's a little more pejorative, as Don/Doña Nadie which is like "Mr/Mrs Nobody", calling somebody a nobody or someone of little importance

...

I should also mention that there are a handful of ways to say "John Doe", when referring to an unknown person, usually a victim or a perpetrator of a crime

The most common ones that I've seen (aside from Fulano/a) are Juan Pérez and Doña María for women... literally "Juan Pérez" being extremely common first name and extremely common last name, and Doña María as "Mrs. Maria" again the most popular female name

[to be clear though, no one would actually name their kids Fulano/a, Mengano/a or Zutano/a because it would lead to so much legal hassle, plus most Spanish-speaking countries have or have had more strict guidelines regarding names....... however, Juan and María are absolutely commonplace]

Other than that, you might see NN used in some countries

"NN" is a holdover from Latin, nomen nescio literally like "unknown name". In some Spanish countries (primarily Argentina) this is sometimes called Natalia Natalia

Natalia Natalia or NN has nothing to do with female names, and a man can be a Natalia Natalia... it's just that in Argentina's police codes, letters are given as names or common words, like M is María and Z is Zapato. But N is Natalia... so using the Latin idea of NN gets you "Natalia Natalia" in police jargon. The closest equivalent I can think of is like military jargon like Alpha, Bravo, Charlie for ABC etc

But if you happen to see NN for someone's name/file, it means they don't know the name so it's like John/Jane Doe

Let me know if I missed any, but these are my personal experiences from things I've read/seen/heard

Olha o pipe vendo a lobinha jogar todo 🥺

NOSSA SIM!!!

Primeiramente: OMG HII!! Minha primeira ask 🥺❤️

Continuando: O Pipe sendo completamente babão da namorada alugou uma mansão na minha cabeça.

Dito isso, irei dissertar um pouco mais sobre esse cenário pois estou completamente delulu por eles☝🏻.

Imagino muito ele chorando de felicidade vendo ela fazendo um gol, e indo a loucura se a comemoração dela for alguma dancinha, e claro, ela sempre mandaria beijinhos pra ele se não fosse até a arquibancada pra tacar o beijão nele na frente do estádio todo.

Ele sempre seria o fã numero um, levava presentinhos pra encorajar ela pré jogo, saia sem voz de todo jogo, puxava as pessoas da arquibancada só pra falar “ta vendo aquela gatona ali?” apontando pra ela “é a minha namorada, da pra acreditar? Minha namorada!” todo bobo apaixonado.

O Pipe também consolaria ela nas derrotas, enchia ela de beijos e carinhos, “ta tudo bem meu amor, você jogou tão bem, na próxima você chuta a bola na cabeça delas, eu deixo”.

Em uma final de campeonato a loba marcou o gol de desempate nos penaltis, dando a vitória pro River, ela fica tão feliz que chega até a tirar a camisa tal qual um jogador homem enquanto é carregada pelas colegas de time (ficando com o protetor de seios é claro), o Pipe não sabia se chorava com a vitória ou se ele se contorcia de ciúmes.

Ele vai até o gramado e enche ela de beijos, sussurrando no ouvido dela que ela ia ver só quando chegassem em casa.

Ai vcs ja imaginam né? 😜🤭 se ele sempre deixava a lobinha ir por cima e dominar ele, dessa vez ele decide revidar a “provocação” no campo enchendo ela de tapas e muito overstimulation, deixando ela toda burrinha e molinha.

Vou até parar por aqui pois Felipe Gonzales Otaño causa efeitos irreversíveis na minha Mary Jane 😫

Irrompible

Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 5) #74

Guionistas: Nick Spencer y Christos N. Gage Dibujantes: Marcelo Ferreira, Mark Bagley, Ze Carlos, Dio Neves, Carlos Gomez, Ivan Fiorelli y Humberto Ramos

— Mary Jane Watson: Peter… Peter… por favor… — Doctor Strange: Algo que no entiendo de todo esto, Diablo. ¿Por qué él? Esa extraña fascinación con Peter Parker. — Mephisto: ¿Sabes por qué la banca siempre gana, Stephen? Porque la partida está amañada. Cuando decido intervenir en la vida de un alma mortal, lo hago sabiéndolo todo de ella. Su pasado, sus esperanzas y temores… su destino. Yo sé mi propio destino, ¿sabes? El mundo que me espera. Veo el trono, mi dominio, mi reino. Y luego veo al que lo acaba. Es una visión que he tenido muchas veces. Desde antes que Peter Parker llegara a nacer. Así que intervengo. Aversión al riesgo, supongo. ¿Estás contento, hechicero? Tu héroe ha triunfado, nuestros asuntos han concluido, de momento. — Doctor Strange: Ah. No debería sorprenderme. Pero… mientes. No solo has atacado a Peter Parker. Siempre has ido a por algo más grande que una sola persona. — Mephisto: Je. Bueno, ¿qué quieres que te diga, Stephen…? Nunca se sabe… lo que nos deparará el futuro. Pero, ¿por qué preocuparse? Una vez más, has ganado. Tu campeón ha salvado el día y el alma de su querido amigo Harry Osborn ha quedado libre. No se ha perdido nada por el camino. Al menos nada digno de mención. A menos que creas que aun así he conseguido lo que quería desde el principio. — Doctor Strange: Ah, tal vez. O tal vez tu arrogancia sea tu ruina, demonio. Te consideras un Dios. Dictas tus caprichos a las almas que crees inferiores. Les presentas todo tipo de pruebas y desventuras. Les rompes el corazón y las empujas a las tinieblas. Pero si resisten y emergen… en la luz de un nuevo día. Son… mejores después de eso. Sus vínculos, más fuertes. Su alegría, mayor. Y su amor… irrompible.

Decía Platón que aquel que inventó la cerveza era un hombre sabio. Se equivocaba. En realidad, era una mujer. Sabia. Sí, ¡la cerveza la inventaron ellas! Y no solo son responsables del descubrimiento, sus aportaciones a lo largo de la historia de la cervecería han sido cruciales en su desarrollo para concebirla tal y como lo hacemos hoy en día.

Hará algo más de 7.000 años, en Mesopotamia comenzó a desarrollarse la cervecería; fueron las mujeres quienes mezclaron los granos de cereal con agua y hierbas, este brebaje se realizaba con fines alimentarios. Los cocinaron… y de aquella mezcla intuitiva impulsada por la necesidad de alimentarse resultó un brebaje que fermentaba de manera espontánea.

Pronto empezaron a desarrollar sus habilidades en torno a aquel líquido turbio y espeso, pero muy nutricio, que además era capaz de alegrar el espíritu. Según cuenta la historiadora británica, y beer sommelier Jane Peyton, por aquel entonces y durante algunos miles de años su grado de conocimiento hizo que fuesen las únicas que podían producirla y también comercializarla.

Fue en la Edad Media cuando la elaboración y el consumo de cerveza da un nuevo giro al agregar a la mezcla el lúpulo. Una flor que dota a la bebida de su característico amargor, y cuyas propiedades conservantes permitían almacenarla durante mucho más tiempo.

La responsable del descubrimiento que dio este giro radical a la cervecería fue la abadesa Hildegarda de Bingen. Por supuesto a esta buena mujer, que compaginó su rol como maestra cervecera con el de teóloga, escritora y botánica entre otros, terminaron canonizándola. ¡Normal que le hicieran santa!

Con la industrialización de los procesos productivos el papel de la mujer dejó de ser protagonista en el campo de la elaboración, aunque cada día son más las mujeres que disfrutan, que conocen, que producen, que comparten su pasión por esta bebida que como os hemos contado, nunca fue cosa de hombres.

[almadeversos]

Si me hubieras pedido un consejo de amor, el título de novia estaría haciendo juego con el brillo en mis ojos al hablar de vos.

Si me hubieras pedido un consejo de amor, ahora mismo, quizás, estaría planificando un viaje solo para recortar la distancia lo suficiente hasta encontrarme en mi hogar, o dicho de forma un poco más banal, tus brazos.

Quizás podríamos haber descubierto si era cierto eso de que mi simpatía se habría ganado a toda tu familia y si mi sentido del humor me hubiera otorgado el honor de ser la mejor amiga de tu abuela.

Sin embargo, el futuro no nos llegó. Cosa del destino y sus malas pasadas, me arrebató el consejo y colocó a alguien más en el lugar que siempre soñé como mío.

¿Cuántas veces se puede perder un amor? ¿Cuántas declaraciones hacen falta para que el universo conspire a nuestro favor?

Aún con todo en contra –incluso mi propio corazón–, me permito soñar el sinfín de posibilidades si el camino se despejara para las dos. Mi lado más cliché y cursi se aferra a creer en el final feliz de esta historia, ignorando el panorama desolador.

Pero esta no es una novela de Jane Austen y la realidad amenaza con rasgar las páginas cargadas de ilusiones.

Ahora que lo pienso, tal vez te escribo porque necesito que en algún lugar pueda darse lo que no fue.

Fue en la Edad Media cuando la elaboración y el consumo de cerveza da un nuevo giro al agregar a la mezcla el lúpulo.

Una flor que dota a la bebida de su característico amargor, y cuyas propiedades conservantes permitían almacenarla durante mucho más tiempo.

La responsable del descubrimiento que dio este giro radical a la cervecería fue la abadesa Hildegarda de Bingen. Por supuesto a esta buena mujer, que compaginó su rol como maestra cervecera con el de teóloga, escritora y botánica entre otros, terminaron canonizándola. ¡Normal que le hicieran santa!

Con la industrialización de los procesos productivos el papel de la mujer dejó de ser protagonista en el campo de la elaboración, aunque cada día son más las mujeres que disfrutan, que conocen, que producen, que comparten su pasión por esta bebida que como os hemos contado, nunca fue cosa de hombres.

Las relaciones entre las mujeres, me dije, evocando rápidamente la espléndida galería de personajes literarios femeninos, son demasiado simples. Es demasiado lo que se deja fuera, lo que no se dice. Y traté de recordar algún caso en el que se presentara a dos mujeres como amigas. Se intenta en Diana of the Crossways. Y hay confidentes, por descontado, en Racine y en las tragedias griegas. De vez en cuando son madres e hijas. Pero todos los libros, casi sin excepción, presentan a la mujer desde el punto de vista de su relación con los hombres. Era extraño pensar que los grandes personajes literarios femeninos, hasta los tiempos de Jane Austen, no sólo se mostraban a través de los ojos de los hombres sino en relación con ellos. Y eso constituye una parte muy pequeña de la vida de la mujer; y qué poco sabe un hombre incluso de esa pequeña parte, puesto que la observa a través de los cristales negros o rosados de la condición sexual. De ahí, tal vez, esa naturaleza tan peculiar de las mujeres en la literatura; los sorprendentes extremos de belleza o fealdad; la alternancia entre una bondad celestial o una depravación diabólica.

Vamos para a Tag da semana?

Um livro que recomenda para todos

Um livro que recomenda para ninguém

Um livro que não conseguiu largar

Um livro que já releu

Um livro da sua lista de desejos

Um livro de não ficção

(Marque 2 mútuos para responder s2)

Oioi quero chamar @itacoisa e @kateaugust p responder a tagzinha comigo 🫧🌀

1. Um livro que recomenda para todos

Um livro que eu acho que todos deviam ler, sendo brasileiros ou não, é Capitães da Areia de Jorge Amado.

A história e a temática desse livro, apesar de antigo, infelizmente é muitíssimo atual e também é uma forma "romântica" pra entender a sociedade baiana, por assim dizer

(não só baiana como brasileira em geral)

Na verdade eu te recomendo a ler qualquer livro do Jorge Amado, é o meu autor favorito e acho que o que mais conseguiu transparecer uma imagem realista e complexa da sociedade em que ele vivia

Agora, uma coisa é certa: Jorge Amado não tem inibições em seus livros.

Se você se incomoda com cenas explícitas, xingamentos, violência e/ou representações polêmicas de diversos tabus, com certeza você pode não gostar da experiência

Eu mesma também já fiquei meia assim com algumas passagens de Capitães, e não só esse mas com outros livros do Jorginho

em especial, acho que Tereza Batista é o livro mais pesado que eu já li dele em questão de violência física. E em questão de sexualidade, Tieta é o mais pesado

Mas, na minha opinião, nem sempre tu vai ler as coisas/situações que concorda, mesmo que absurdo lembre-se que tudo tem um motivo pra narrativa, principalmente com Amado

Às vezes, as coisas acontecem pra chocar mesmo, esse é o objetivo: dar um choque de realidade no leitor

então mesmo que você tenha um pouco de hesitação, dê uma chance pra Capitães 😉

2. Um livro que eu recomendo pra ninguém

Um livro que eu até que aturo mas não recomendo pra ninguém é o Ateneu de Raul Pompeia

O motivo é que: é muito chato. Eu não gostei quando li pela primeira vez, da segunda vez eu achei mais ou menos mas mesmo assim não costumo recomendar pra ninguém

principalmente se essa pessoa prefira ler histórias interessantes, que nem eu

Mas confesso que esse livro tem uma bagagem literária admirável, e é um material legalzinho pra estudar

3. Livro que não consegui largar por nada

Esse aí com certeza foi Jane Eyre, de Charlotte Brontë. Esse é mágico, minha gente

no início eu não tava botando muita fé, mas ele realmente consegue te envolver na história, nos mistérios e tal

Eu sinto que na resenha que eu fiz dele aqui, eu me expressei meio mal porque eu deixei a entender que a protagonista tava errada na escolha final dela e etc

Mas acontece que se eu tivesse no lugar dela eu não saberia o que fazer também, então sem julgamentos é claro kkk

Mas, em geral, Jane Eyre é um livro bem consistente e coeso do início até o fim e está na lista do meus livros favoritos. Até considerei colocar ele na primeira tag

4. Um livro que já releu

Livro do Desassossego de Fernando Pessoa, meu deus que poesia

Ainda não fiz uma resenha dele aqui infelizmente, não consigo juntar palavras pra expressar o quanto eu amo esse livro

É muita poesia, muito drama, muita subjetividade e boniteza. Eu me identifiquei muito com literalmente a maior parte do livro, ele ficou todo pintado de marcador de texto porque a cada duas frases ele soltava uma pedrada que eu não conseguia deixar passar kkl

a minha frase favorita desse livro é essa, que não tenho certeza se é de autoria de Pessoa ou se ele apenas citou:

"Porque sou do tamanho do que vejo, e não do tamanho da minha altura"

Eu, com os meus humildes 17 anos de idade, penso igual ao genial Fernando Pessoa, que lisonja meu deus

5. Um livro da sua lista de desejos

Com certeza "Diários de motocicleta" do Che Guevara

6. Um livro de não ficção

"Sejamos Todos Feministas" da lindíssima Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, que eu li literalmente hoje kk

É um livro bem curtinho mas bem interessante, é uma transcrição de um discurso que a Chimamanda fez em algum lugar que me esqueci o nome

Em seu discurso, ela fala sobre o peso negativo que a palavra "feminista" tem não só em sua nação-mãe Nigéria, mas em todos os países de terceiro mundo

Além disso, ela também fala sobre o papel de completa submissão e inferioridade que a mulher exerce na sociedade desde praticamente o início dos tempos

Realmente muito interessante e bem estruturado, vale a pena dar uma olhadinha

Jane was two thirds of the way down the ventilation shaft of the HYDRA base -- disguised as an office building, but with a bunker in the basement that held whatever this alien device was that Morgan Edge wanted so badly. She could hear him breathing in her earpiece, but so far he'd restricted himself to only the occasional comment. The occasional annoying comment, to be sure, but some men were like that. They spoke because they liked the sound of their own voices.

But that was beside the point, because she and Edge were allies right now, if only temporarily. Jane would retrieve this device for him -- and steal some of the mineral he'd alluded to, just as insurance -- and Edge in turn would help her track down and kill Colonel Kulikov, the Russian HYDRA head who had sent Jane to kill the Starks and who knew all of the Winter Soldier's control and shut down codes. And Edge had X-ray vision, apparently, which would be helpful when it came to Jane sneaking in and out without being detected.

If it had been only her, she would have blown the base sky high, but that would also mean blowing Edge's cover as a loyal member of HYDRA, which would make getting to Kulikov that much harder. So what the Hell, Jane would do it quietly. She could always come back to this base after she and Morgan Edge parted ways.

"I think I've got about fifty yards to go," she muttered, knowing the tiny but powerful earpiece would pick up her voice.
