Well, I'm a much more serious person. No, I didn't have any kind of
visceral reaction about not wanting to do this or not wanting you. I was
overwhelmed by calculations, mostly. Whether this was part of the plan,
whether you were suddenly a threat, who could be behind it. And I was
embarrassed that suddenly Pietro knew so much about me, so many vulnerable
things, because I don't share those things easily. And I thought about all
the things I should do, like put a stop to this to focus on the mission,
and be professional with you, and treat you like Quicksilver if we'd wound
up fighting the same villain together, not as the person I loved. And I
thought you must be incredibly disappointed, because I know how people see
me, see Scott. Especially lately, as functionally a villain of the
Avengers, a murderer, and all of the rest.
