BREAKING : Following Wonder Woman’s recent confrontation with Giganta in Midtown, a reward is being offered to all those with information regarding Wonder Woman's masked accomplice.

“ why, MISS PRINCE, ” he gasps, feigning bashful at diana’s jest. “ not all of us would think this mug belongs on one of those fancy rags. but i appreciate your gut punching adulation. ” oh how he missed these little moments. ( he’s still checking over his shoulder to ensure bats wasn’t about to jump scare his ass back into the marina trench, however --- ).

Bruce enjoyed working in the lab and inventing things with Tony, but inside he felt like he needed to do something more.  It was extremely important to him to use the things he’d learned to benefit others.  Any time, even the briefest moment, that reminded him there was more to him than just the monster was invaluable to him.

Since his return all he really wanted to do was stay inside and hide from the world, but he knew while that was helpful in the short term it was very detrimental in terms of his long term view of himself.  When he saw that an embassy was starting up a shelter he thought it would be a good place for him to put a toe back into the world.

He didn’t exactly look like a doctor as he made his way to the embassy.  The hoodie, loose pants, battered shoes, and shabby messenger bag was all about making sure nobody gave him a second glance on the way to the embassy.  Once inside he looked around to find someone that seemed like they were staff.

DURING INTERROGATION LED BY S.H.I.E.L.D. DEPUTY DIRECTOR MARIA HILL, WONDER WOMAN, a/k/a Diana Prince, invoked diplomatic immunity predicated upon her self - identified Themyscirean citizenship, refusing to sign the SOKOVIA ACCORDS.

However at this time, THEMYSCIRA, a Mediterranean island nation charted vaguely by Imperial German Air Service officers following a crash on its shores in 1918, remains unrecognized by the United Nations as a de jure sovereign state.  Therefore, as the WORLD SECURITY COUNCIL, in concert with S.H.I.E.L.D., is unable to verify Miss Prince’s claim to diplomatic protection, it has been decided that until such time as her claims can be fully vetted and deemed satisfactory, she will be released from S.H.I.E.L.D. custody and hereby prevented from seeking permanent residence and / or asylum in any recognized United Nations member state.

AS CONFIRMED BY INTERPOL EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON, an individual identified as Diana Prince, Louvre antiquities liaison, has been confirmed to be the heroine known as WONDER WOMAN.

Miss Prince remains in local DGSI custody pending further investigation of her claims and further questioning regarding Wonder Woman’s activities with the unauthorized group of extra - governmental operators known colloquially as the ‘ JUSTICE LEAGUE ’.

( HAS HE OVERSTEPPED?     ——-    HE’S OVERSTEPPED. )    “    I just mean your genetic make-up must be something else!     ——-    Not in a creepy way.  Definitely, don’t mean it in a creepy way. It’s just, I’ve never done a metabolic work up on a ‘gd’ before. You’re a ‘gd’, right? There’s been a serious uptick in ‘gds’ ‘round here lately.   ”    It’s not often that the voice inside his head is the one telling him to shut up, typically he saves that for the people around him.

Stark takes a moment to TURN, squaring his shoulders towards the woman’s voice in a three-point shift of his weight. Head tilted, brows knit together at the center of his forehead, he’s actively working on DISCERNING whether or not her comment was entirely SINCERE.
