"If they were worried that we were terrorists at all, we would be hiding out with Tommy already," Teddy said, certain of S.H.I.E.L.D.s abilities to pick out the bad guys, even if they weren't so adept at picking out the good guys. "The only way we're going to figure out what happened is to get the story from him, and we have to be prepared to handle it if it turns out he's not a hundred percent innocent."
It wasn't like they all hadn't acted outside the law at some point, and Teddy wasn't going to accuse Tommy of doing anything that wasn't what any of them would have done in whatever situation he had got himself in-- it was more like accusing him of getting himself into something weird in the first place. It was just a matter of accepting that to move on and deal with it. Teddy was pretty sure no one was arguing against that, whether they all agreed on culpability or not. They were the Young Avengers; that was where their loyalty was, no matter who was signing their paychecks. Especially Stark. He clearly didn't understand where a law had to be bent.
Teddy shifted forward, hands on his knees then, ready to start doing and stop talking. It wasn't even something they understood until they started, so why not start?
