Apocalypse

[x-dominion.livejournal.com]

Apocalypse is now in SHIELD custody, charged with a list of crimes that took most of the field office to write it all up. It'll be a while before he goes to trial anywhere; there's overlapping jurisdictions involved, and they won't move him until they've got a solid analysis of his powers so he can't pose a danger to the court or be an escape risk. Safe to say, it's very unlikely he'll be anywhere other than a cell for the rest of his life.

Squire, I strongly suspect it was you who cost me the shot at ending him - it was someone airborne and on fire at any rate who knocked the masonry down and gave him a chance to escape - that I spent two days setting up.

I don't blame you - the whole situation was a mess, and you had no way of knowing I was there, and it's too easy to play "should have" after the fact. But I would take it as a kindness if you did not cast aspersions on the rest of my people for not doing a thing you did not do yourself.

Thanks Pete. That was pretty much what I was about.

I didn't belittle any of your people. I meant that no one made what was arguably the right decision, so your little girl should not be holding the X-Men culpable for anything.

I think Amanda's point was rather that for some of the people present, it wasn't a matter of making the decision, it was a matter of not wanting to put others who would not make the same decision in a very awkward position, so hearing it complained about by some of the people whose feelings they thought were respecting is a bit unexpected.

Obviously, I have nearly strained something trying to phrase that politely.

Penny for the smart Uncle Pete. :)
