Lucille wasn’t sure what to make of registration.
The crimes that she had committed and the crimes that had been committed against her were both outside the purview of this legislation. HYDRA itself was outside of the law; in fact, it wrote the law.
Sometimes, Lucille wondered how long it would be until the Avengers realized that all of Washington was rotten with HYDRA, not just the tiny corner that the Captain had helped flush a few years back.
It had been that connection that had stopped Lucille from coming up against proper charges for her role in the mutant flu crisis. In a just world, she would have been nailed for gross negligence, and she knew it.
As she waited in the hospital, watching for the doctor to come in with the test results to tell her what the holy hell she had, Lucille decided to sit back and watch on this one.
It wasn’t her fight, not in any sense of the word, and so she didn’t need to wade in and create another mess for herself. When she got done here, she’d draft up an email, probably authorizing her team to stand behind Stark Industries -- provided that Stark managed to keep his own head up in this mess.
As for the moment, though, she was tired, and Lucille had no energy to do anything more than watch the drama play out.
It always did.
