So.

If we have to start throwing in our lot with unlikely allies, could we at least try and pick ones who aren't gleefully trigger-happy? Especially if we have civilians along? I haven't seen a woman that eager to get her gun off since Dom was fifteen years old. Admittedly, giving people the wrong impression about what the X-Men do isn't going to matter if the guy with the bag on his head does blow up the world, but it's the principle of the thing.

Mission not accomplished, in any case. There wasn't much more we could have done - we were lucky to get everyone out of there as it was.

Sir, X-men aren't meant to kill. It's one of the founding principals of the team as far as I know. Are you really surprised that people with that attitude would be shocked by someone who seemingly didn't care who got hurt?

I admittedly was not on the mission, so I can't talk for what it was like but I can understand why the team wouldn't want to associate with someone they can't trust to follow our rules while they're with us.

I mean, if you were on a mission for the FBI and someone broke the law blatantly in front of you, what would you do?

You're missing my point. I'm not defending Natasha's actions. I've got a problem with how we handled someone who volunteered to come into a dangerous situation with us. Rather than find a solution to her methods, we made stupid threats. And now we're patting ourselves on the back that she's the crazy one.

I've only just finished reading the mission log, Sir. I can see what you mean by the threats. I could only say that in a tense situation that people don't always do the most obvious thing. And having someone seemingly ignore you in a mission setting would not go over well at all. A screw up on both ends, perhaps? Something for the training schedule at the very least.
