The Doctor knew this council was corrupted. He didnt know who yet, would wait to make a move now, but later once he knew who was behind this. "Thank you for the advice Shizuru...but Im leaving that job to Hiro and Iris. They are in charge of defending this planet.., and they are a fantastic at defending it," He smiled at the duo. Luthor said "Well Doctor we await your return..." He sipped his coffee. While the Doctor was gone he could make plans for the Shadow's own personal army. He might need Eric's help though. His magic could help provide some defenses against the Sonic Screwdriver.
