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.

This was a guy who was responsible for destroying who knows how many square blocks of real estate in one move, raising a skyscraper from the ruins, and survived the collapse of said skyscraper.

I for one am not going to apologize for whatever level of force it took to take him down. The argument of "excessive force" is a luxury that a lot of people don't have, on account of the fact that this crazy bastard and his people executed them in an act of outright genocide.

As to whether or not Apocalypse himself should have been put down - after what he took, I'm not certain that's even possible. But I'm sure SHIELD will make the call on that one.

Yeah but there's force and then there's enough, you know? Compassion and excessive force don't share the same sentence, but to me, compassion should come out on top.

I know I'm not much of a fighter but I was weirded out by how much a lot of people enjoyed themselves in the heat of the moment.

There's a difference between "making sure someone who's intending to harm you stays down" and "sadistically enjoying it".

I'm not saying there aren't people who fall into the latter category. But don't tar everyone with the same brush. It was hell out there, and that kind of thing gets into your head.

I'm not saying everyone was singing the same song, but a lot of 'em were.

I like you. You can come sit next to me. (No, really, can you come see me please?)

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

When? Right now?

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

When you can. I'd like to see you is all.

Okay. Let me find something to eat first.
