But the problems don't sound so different from here.
[And now that he's not going through a knee-jerk defense, he's starting to realize what that really means.]
SHIELD is still going strong in my world. In fact, it was going too strong. A lot of conflict had been kicked up recently, with the Avengers falling apart and superhumans being put in the spotlight for problems that they weren't necessarily the cause of. And the government decided they needed someone to be the scapegoat. That was going to be everyone that was potentially dangerous. Kids. Civilians. People with families who just found out how different their lives were going to be.
Tony, he was helping them enforce registration. Keeping tabs on everyone whether they had a history or not. I'm sure you can guess why I didn't agree with that.
[There's still that hard note in his voice, but it doesn't become anger or accusation this time.]
But maybe if we'd talked, if we'd stopped fighting for long enough, things would have turned out different.
