Alvin patiently signed autographs for the fans at the edge of the crowd, occasionally agreeing to take pictures with them.
When he heard that the attackers were mutants, he stopped worrying. Bullets didn't care who they hit, but superpowers took time to activate.
Stark was keeping an eye on all of them, and their numbers were dropping rapidly...
