Yes, I'm aware of how wrong things went. You and the others, did you really think it didn't destroy me too? That maybe I was so far gone that I didn't see how much the damage was getting out of control? It was all I could do to keep it in, Natasha. The Initiative was meant to give the control back to people that deserved it! I never meant to keep running things alone. But that's what it took.
But what it comes down to is that I am willing to police us if that's what is necessary to prevent meaningless death. I'm willing to use the weapons put out here if I have to, because I'm not going to let everyone else use them on us, and that is exactly who Tony Stark really is.
