reviewing the situation

[Pete Wisdom]

Wisdom stood in the lobby of Stark towers, uneasy with having to crawl up to a super hero who was basically a jumped up US version of Richard Branson. It seemed that the super hero registration act had divided Excalibur what was worse, it seemed that the only two Pro Registration members were himself and Captain Britain, Wisdom had a lot of respect for the cap but as a person he found him very hard going, his upper class aloofness, the fact he was still moping about the loss of meggan. That said he was secretly glad that Braddock was with him on the registration act, he was the UK's biggest hero for a start. The secret agent didn't need the populace of Britain to start getting it's knickers in a twist about rogue super heroes as wisdom was partially responsible for starting up the newest incarnation of Excalibur, he didn't need any blame being shovelled his way. He parked himself on a leather sofa and mulled the situation over, being pro reg was never going to be problem for Wisdom he had been on the British government's payroll for years. It seemed a good idea to recruit a new set of members in the US and he agreed to meet the cap in Stark towers the Pro reg heroes headquarters. tall dark haired english man was getting impatient he shot up off the sofa and reached for a cigarette in his jacket pocket, he was just about to light it ith a hot knife when he was interrupted by a stuffy female receptionist who let him know her displeasure by clearing her throat. "Alright luv don't do yerself an injury" he was aware of the presence of someone else behind him "Bloody hell, you took your time didn't yer? I've been waitin' 'ere since christmas" he smirked, looking his companion up and down " so..'ow goes the hero hunt?"

"Not too well, I managed to recruit one member but he had decided to disappear, and what have you been doing Pete" Brain stepped in cigar in hand, he knew Pete thought him stuck up, but since Meggan's death he knew he had changed, he used to be an outgoing man but now his life was set on fighting the good fight. He found Pete a bit arrogant as if theres nothing wrong with himslef but there is with others. taking a seat he looked at Pete his blue eyes shining in the light. "Pete, tell me your true views on registration".

" oh you know me Cap pullin' strings as usual" he looked at Braddock with his cigar "They ah ...don't allow that by the way...bloody yanks and their no smokin' policys". His voice took on a serious tone " look, I've been on the blower with Alistair Stuart and told me it's very likely Blair will start his registration act to the UK. Looks like you and me were one step ahead of the game". The secret agent felt a pang of self loathing it was like he was a shady boxing promoter trying to wring every last drop of dignity from a clapped out old boxer but Wisdom let that subside bigger things were at stake "look..I was thinkin' it would be a good idea to lend a hand ol' Tony a hand while we're over here. It'll do wonders for PR ". The cockney spy changed tact "Believe me cap...I'm as cut up as you are about Talia, Alison and Cain, but the thing is they made there choice.Look... I've got contacts in high places and I'll personally make the law won't come down on them to harshly if the worse comes to the worse" he chuckled to himself " I have to admit It'll be a bollock tryin' to get them not to lock up the Juggernaut and throw away the key". Wisdom gave his views on the registration act:-" Like or not the whole Stamford thing was waitin' to blow up in our faces for a long time. Speakin' as a mutant I'm sick of all whinin' the X Men do about not bein' accepted. Well if you wanna don tights you 'ave to accept the responsibility that goes with it. Take a leaf from the Fantastic Four. People Luv and trust 'em and they generate a lot of money for the US tourist industry. On top of that the pro reg means Super heroes stand a chance of making a decent wage, instead of tryin' to hold down a day job to make ends meet." Wisdom stopped himself "..,I just never thought we'd be reduced to fightin' our old team mates...ho hum" he added wearily.
