Although Nick could understand her feelings, he shook his head in disapproval. "No, that kind of attitude won't change people's prejudice against mutants. This shouldn't be just a 'mutant' problem. It isn't. A U.S. citizen was kidnapped by a known terrorist, it is an issue for the U.S. government and for S.H.I.E.L.D. The problem is Magneto's just good at hiding behind bureaucracy and global politics. Same with Doom. It gets frustrating. Then you bend the rules a little to see justice served, to do the greatest good, and it all goes to hell." Nick waved away his irritation at the system. It was going to take years to really change anything, to fix things so that someone like Wicked wouldn't have to be disillusioned and disenfranchise. "My resources are open to the X-Men, anyway, until I can cut through the red tape to try to get something done. I'd love to see that motherfucker rotting away in the Raft." A knock on the door sounded and Nick rose to get their pizza, glad for the interruption to get himself out of his head.
