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.

It's a mindset thing, I'll wager. Government stooges tend to default to the "shoot first, make up the questions later" attitude. Therefore, I officially appoint Garrison as 'Speaker-To-Russians' for future endeavors as a matter of professional courtesy.
