end of Team-X personal thoughts

tfw canon tries to paint you as a lunatic and you are a lunatic usually but you’re just like, no, actually I still feel completely justified in that situation and I stand by my actions.

I’m gonna rant about this for a bit. Its my fuckin blog so.

I am fucking pissed about the way the comic tries to portray the way Team X came apart and ended. IE, they show flashbacks out of order, Maverick (the bleeding heart of the team) claims that I ‘snapped’ which made Logan walk away and broke up the team. Logan himself claims that I ‘panicked under pressure’.

What the comic tries to portray as the big fucking dubious action is that I killed a double agent, Janice, who we were supposed to extract as part of the mission. And it had just been kind of nagging me that everyone was pissed about this. So I went back and I put all the flashbacks into chronological order so you can actually read them with context

and yeah not only does it jive with the way I feel it happened but I also absolutely feel that I made the right call in the situation.

So we’d been sent in behind the iron curtain to retrieve this dumb science device the labcoats wanted (carboradium synthesizer or whatever), only they didn’t fucking tell us the lab we were infiltrating was literally in the last stages of using it to beef up thier own soviet super solider. so the place was on high high high alert.We grab the agent, the science maguffin, and I do my best to take out the super soldier. but it goes tits up and we get cornered on the 10th floor. its a no way out scenario.

The team are all pretty fucking hardy (and I’m 90% sure we’re all mutants) so tell everybody out best option is to jump out the fucking window. They won’t expect it, and all their mooks are busy up on the 10th floor trying to kill us. so if we survive, we’re golden. But of course Janice won’t fucking survive. And I can see the bleeding hearts are going to argue with me about the fucking idea, despite me being in command, and despite our other option being torn apart by a hail of gunfire and also a super soldier.

Double agent Janice is NOT going to survive this scenario no matter what, but yeah, we have a shot.

So I cut the gordian knot and pre-emptively shoot Janice. Everybody freaks the fuck out, but we jump out the window.

We all get out alive (minus Janice, obviously).

Only somehow logan also fucking lost the goddamned maguffin so we go back to command with nothing and during debrief Logan starts losing his shit about how i’m a psycho who panicked and fucked the mission.

The high ups start calling us incompetent and while I’m trying to fucking point out that i made the only possible call in the scenario–Logan decks me and walks the fuck out.

And the cherry on top of the shit cake here?

it turns out

years later

Logan had the fucking maguffin the whole time.

he hid it on the double agent’s corpse

because????? IDK HE WAS MAD AT ME?

so fuck that. I stand by my actions.
