[AVENGERS: Sharon Carter (616), Bruce Banner (616), Bucky Barnes (616), Clint Barton (616), Natalia Romanova (616), I feel like I'm missing some Tony Stark (616)]
Mark Twain once wrote that patriotism is about always being loyal to your country. Right now, my country -- our country -- is the people here who've blown in from other universes and other timelines. They're from different places, they have different experiences and they all have different motivations. Yet we're all united by one common goal: to fix this and get out.
All of us here deserve the best protection, the best help, and the best support from each other that we're able to provide. I don't think that happened in the last scenario. I don't think that happened during the attack on all of us, and I think that means we all need to do better.
As some of you are already aware, Sharon is trying to implement training programs, she's trying to prepare people as best as we can, and she's going to attempt to build a list of defensive protocols that we can adapt and put into play for future scenarios. We're going to help with that and we're going to also design our own. I need to know what everyone here things our worse case scenarios might be, and we need to decide what we're going to do in them. I want working crisis response plans on the books. I want us to pull in specific other "refugees" for these plans when necessary. I want to use the talents we have here to keep people safe instead of waiting for Amendments to stop Scientists or end scenarios. Before the 'Games' I thought perhaps the best way to move forward was through a form of passive resistance, but I don't anymore. Now we fight back, and if we can't fight them then we fight what they throw at us.
I believe in the Council system that we have in place. I believe in the amendments we passed, the efforts we've made and the work that we've done as a group. And I trust in the decisions that the Council and the new coordinator will make for us.
But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have a contingency plan. Mark Twain also said that patriotism is about being loyal to your government, when it deserves it. So, this time, moving forward, regardless of what the council decides, we're our first line of defense.
Happy Birthday. I got you both something.
