Emma and Scott.... You crazy kids! I love you! You tell 'em!

I love Emma Frost.  She brings out my inner bitch.  ( a phrase I stole from Xerox Kitty, but don't tell her) 
 
Emma deserves applause this week for doing something (in Uncanny X-Men 3) that has needed doing since the last issue of AvX.
She basically told Tony Stark to go...um... 'love' himself.

Paraphrased:
Stark, you (fill in your own explicative here)!  
YOU split the phoenix force into five pieces.
YOU forced it onto five mutants without warning or consent.
YOU created a situation in which we had power we would neither control nor give up.  You slipped us a PHOENIX ROOFIE!
YOU turned us into the Phoenix Five....
 
YOU created the problem... and now,
YOU are trying to arrest us for being trapped in a situation that you created..
 
 
 
 
 
I'm also proud of Mr. Summers for his calm yet daring display of diplomacy

   Nice, simple and to the point.  
 
I admit, I would have been wordy in Scott's place.  I might have wasted time saying things like: 

1: Cap, we're in Australia.  You, the Avenges, and SHIELD have no legal authority here.  What you're doing is illegal... Like when you illegally invaded Utopia...
 
2: Do you have a warrant?  Charles Xavier died on Utopia...  Did you get a warrant from the courts of Utopia to have me arrested? 

3:  Are you planning to put me back into a prison where I will never see my day in court, and you will once again arrange to have the inmates murder me like before?  Or were you planning on having Hulk do that for you?
 
 
Yes, I probably would have wasted my time with dialogue that wouldn't have changed Cap's view of things in the slightest...  Scott's three simple words were classic, eloquent, and to the point.   I'm proud of you, Mr. Summers.  You have my permission to take that stupid mask off and get a visor again...
