Tony Stark was an expert at recovering from betrayals, readjusting his priorities, and reinventing himself.

The rogue Avengers learning from and dealing with the consequences of their actions, with some faster on the uptake than others.

As an Avenger, Tony Stark was always quick to apologize and ready to assume blame. As a New Avenger, however, he was learning that not everything was his fault and there was a sharp difference between a legitimate apology and an empty one.

The rogue Avengers finally reached their boiling point as unwelcomed questions and unwanted answers flew like fists. Steve Rogers had his share of hits growing up and as Captain America, though he had always tried his best to dodge them. The thought that he'd wish to be punched never crossed his mind. Until now.

Since their inglorious return to the United States, the Avengers Initiative was barely scraping by on the meager salary dictated by "bureaucrats who had never spent a day in the field" - as their fearless leader would grouse. They decided to take matters into their own hands.
