IS GOING OVER THE DECISION WHILE TONY STARK GETS READY TO LEAVE
<JessicaStark> SIM START
<TonyStark> IronMan... it's time we left.
<Miasma> Why the hell are you the one to decide what we do!?
<TonyStark> ::grabs his briefcase and prepares to leave::
<TonyStark> She's my daughter... I also fund half your money...
I have every right young lady.
<Cross> ::sighs, shaking his head:: Why off the team? She doesn't
deserve that
<TonyStark> Star> What a dork ::from behind Patriot::
<TonyStark> She'll get hurt or worse... or maybe make the wrong
decision with you and you'll end up worse or hurt
<Goblin> ::shakes his head:: Wait.. half? And I agree there.. I
mean.. she might not be able to really lead yet.. but to just kick her
off...
<TonyStark> it's done all ready. IronMan... let's go all ready.
<TonyStark> You're with me too and I want you back as my bodyguard
<Miasma> You're not the one risking your neck anymore so I don't
want to hear that kind of bullsh*t. I'll admit she can't lead but we can't
kick her out if it isn't the team's choice.
<Firestorm> ::sits quietly at the table and watches everyone arguing,
eyes widened slightly::

members in one day? ::sits back, kicking his feet up on the table:: Trying
to cut your costs a little? ::grins::

<Goblin> ::looks at the others:: Um... oops?
<TonyStark> Star> am I still on the team then?
<Patriot> Very bad..
<Fathom> You are not the only one who can provide us with monetary
means
<IronMan> ::Shakes his head:: ((What happened to the Mr. Stark I
used to know..))
<TonyStark> Rick> Well.. looks like we need a new leader...
<Cross> Evidently a lot's changed, hasn't it? ::looks around the
group, frowning::
<TonyStark> Rick> Randi, Gobs... Patriot... any of you want it?
<Goblin> We need a lot more tha... ::blinks:: Say what?
<IronMan> I'm staying.

by me anymore... right?
<IronMan> With..or without the armor. I'm staying.

<TonyStark> ::leaves::
<Cross> ::leans against the wall, watching everything, looking around
paranoidly but so that ppl can't notice it::
<TonyStark> Star> I'll be leader ::smiles brightly::
<Fathom> ::crosses his arms:: ((this has taken a terrible turn...I
only hope that when we need it most, I can arrange support from Atlantis))

me.

Stark..::Sits down, somewhat lost in his thoughts::
<TonyStark> Rick> Goblin.. I know you had problems with us.. but
you have plenty of experience

else... why me?))
