You don't understand, Strange. They don't think that way.
My father raises his sons to have unfailing trust in the justice system, despite all being keenly aware that it is flawed and allows monsters to slip free and live to kill again. Dick has always been more inclined to listen, but he's still the one my father had the longest to indoctrinate.
Then you'll need to make it clear to him that the law here cannot and will not apply to us, whether or not we wish it would. Police custody doesn't stick. We're overseen by someone who doesn't want us noticed.
For better or worse, we're our own law. If he doesn't like what he thinks you'll do, it's up to him and everyone else who disagrees with you to act first and keep you out. Our justice is self-defined, that part isn't negotiable.
[ there are so many things he appreciates about stephen strange. the fact that stephen is so unapologetic about what he believes in, the fact that he listens, all the little things that --
that made him a really good father in another life. ]
Fine.
But don't blame me if he runs crying to the network about murder never being the answer.
[ it's meaner than he normally would be, but that's how damian copes isn't it? get mean. throw barriers up. try to prevent himself from being hurt again. ]
You can send him directly to me if you think he's going to start another civil war. Or me directly to him.
[ It wasn't fun the first time, but it was at the very least a learning experience. He's learned he'd rather not watch it happen again, and he's more than happy to put the work in to achieve those ends. ]

That appears to be universal in every world.
