Surprise muse swept in, took a seat and told me it was time, who am I to argue?

I am not starting this out 'with all due respect,' because frankly you haven’t earned that yet. It’s not an insult, it’s a fact. I work in facts.

Fact is it’s my job, my responsibility to lead these people, to direct them as a unit. I’m not sure you are capable of bringing that to the table, and there is zero percent margin for error here. You screw this up and there’s a lot more than just embarrassment. You hear me? Am I being clear enough?

I catch even a whiff of this going south and I pull the plug myself, understand?

Good.

Now get me Hill or Coulson, I need a run down on things and I need it three days ago.

I'd say the same, but you really don't.

I would hope not. I kind of pride myself on being extra unique.

Just don't pride yourself too much, unique tends to make you an easier target.

I appreciate the concern, but don't worry about me. Remember when I said you reminded me of someone? That would be my adopted father. Took me in just after I lost my parents to a mob hit, and trained me to be what I am today.

In my world, he and I helped found the Justice League, an organization that keeps tabs on the bigger psychos that the cops - and even the army - can't handle. Maybe you've heard of Batman?

[Yes, he's bragging on Batman, but c'mon. Who wouldn't be proud to call Bats "dad"?]
