Breaking News: Exclusive Interview with Tony Stark

Transcript Below

Christine Everhart: Welcome Dr. Stark. It’s great to see you today.

Tony Stark: Thank you for having me.

Christine Everhart: I think I’ll start this off with what everybody had been wondering. How did you manage to find and capture the ExVengers?

Tony Stark: Everybody keeps giving me a lot of credit for it but I’d like to say that the United Nations and the ExVengers own mistakes helped with the capture.

Christine Everhart: But you were the one to find them yes?

Tony Stark: That would be correct.

Christine Everhart: How?

Tony Stark: Recall the social media snafu that happened a while back? Well, the ExVengers just so happened to forget that using technology with trackers in them is not a good idea while on the run.

Christine Everhart: Especially against you.

Tony Stark: Yes. It turned out that my former teammates were hiding in Wakanda. I reported them to the UN and after contacting King T’Challa and Princess Shuri they agreed to let a task force come into their country and apprehend the fugitives.

Christine Everhart: That easy?

Tony Stark: Finding them was easy but getting them wasn’t. They took down a squadron of soldiers sent to arrest them so the New Avengers has to be sent in to get them. After we arrived, the arrest did not take too long.

Christine Everhart: How did they react to being brought in?

Tony Stark: I think you know the answer to that.

Christine Everhart: What will happen now?

Tony Stark: Each fugitive will go to trial for all of their crimes. It’s that easy.

Christine Everhart: What about Barnes?

Tony Stark: He’ll go through a process with the B.A.R.F system and then go to trial for the crimes committed while not under the control of HYDRA.

Christine Everhart: Do you think we’ve seen the last of the ExVengers?

Tony Stark: Unless they escape or say something stupid I’d agree with that statement. Their time is over now.

Christine Everhart: I don’t see how we can trust people who tweet while on the run to protect us from evil.

Tony Stark: Very true.

Later: Tony Stark answers, what is the future of S.I. and the Avengers Initiative?
