What if Epitome is told not to kill them but to round them up and arrest them? Or simply make sure they can't leave the Lair Mansion? Those are simple enough orders that he might play along.
Anna, on the other hand, would say no, these are my friends, I'm not going to do anything to harm them.
Quote: I'm not sure how much more dangerous Lara would make the team though. Jarvis has pretty much Lara-like powers back in the day, including flight and teleportation and a link to one of the fundamental forces of the Parodyverse, the "Jarvis cosmic". He was on a team with a dragon, a Celestian-powered sea monkey, Space Ghost, Donar, Yo, Starseed (another cosmically powered acolyte of the Gah! force) and a bunch of others. The team has been as strong since but never stronger, and that alone wasn't enough to bring down official reprisals or restraint.
But back then they didn't have the attention from the govt, or that proposed law to control the Lair Legion waiting in the wings, waiting for someone to give them a reason to use it.
Quote: In that sense Lara would be a stabilising influence, not more provocation to eliminate the heroes (which is why she's conveniently absent).
There's a fine line here though: If the govt believes Lara would do everything it asks, they'd be mistaken. If they simply trust her judgement instead, then they might be right that she'd be a stabilizing influence. I guess it all comes down to what they trust.
Then again, she's not leading the Lair Legion, either. So it depends whether the govt thinks just her presence and input is enough to be stabilizing.
