"Okay, so," I said, once we'd won free of the press and the police and gone back to Bob's house, "We talked about, y'know, the 'concentration camp' idea and what the government's gonna do and what we're gonna do, right?"
And, since we had, there was agreement.
"Right, so... I'm thinking... this is the biggest opportunity any of us are gonna get. We just got up on national - hell, global - television and said, 'Hey, we're the good guys.'
"And whether or not they believe it, yet, the whole world knows that.
"What I'm thinking is... let's be the Warriors. I mean, let's get together, form a company or corporation or whatever the legalese is... go to the UN and say, 'We want to do good stuff for the world, and we're willing to do it at cost.'"
"The UN?" Misao spluttered. She'd been... critical of the organization when I mentioned the germs of this idea earlier, so I was kinda expecting it.
"Well, whatever they end up being, the UN is supposed to be about making the world a better place, right? Says so in the charter. And I think that the deliberations of the Security Council and Assembly - at least the formal ones - are public record, right? That limits what they can do outside of that principle, at least if its anything they don't want attention called to.
"And a superhero group? Can you get more attention than that? And if you just wanna get ahead for your own sake - or on top of doing good stuff, which nobody'd be able to blame you for - think about how that'll look on your resume."
The kinda pause-ridden tempo of this is both reflective of the way I talk and intended to give people a chance to speak up with their own opinions/arguments/foo.
