Re: Batman, Black Canary, Iron Man, Maria Hill, Scarlet Witch
Tony hoped discretion from him was appreciated. It would have been a lot easier, he thought somewhat grumpily, as he circled around the block to the back entrance of the clinic, if they'd all just gathered at the Manor. Then he could have driven a faster car and not had to think about where he parked - or just show up in the armor.
Instead, he was blocks away in a lot, and making an attempt to skulk through shadows to the back room the note had indicated. At least everyone knew who and what he was.
He was neither first nor last, which came as a faint surprise. But not more than the fact that the little gathering included the Acting Director of SHIELD - especially when Bruce in suitable gravel announced the exact purpose of the meeting. "Everyone knows Luthor needs to be stopped," he had to say, "Look! Even SHIELD knows Luthor needs to be stopped!"
Hill turned a very bland look to him as her shoulders squared impossibly more, and he took that to mean he should shut up before he got shot for violating Robert's Rules of Order. "Luthor means for this to be a war," Hill said. "Those that don't register can be used as evidence for more and stricter laws, and he'll take more power and control. This I have no proof of, but it is a logical conclusion.
"What I do have proof of are his schools and the 'pure human' tac squads he wants guarding them. That in itself is not illegal, but it is suspicious."
