There was a time before the mission where I would’ve stopped you from trying, but I am scaring myself even considering I’d let you do it now even if you didn’t think you were strong enough.

Were you not the one who preached to me about letting go, starting our own lives for ourselves? Robert, I do not want them back either, but you will die going against them. They’re not going to stop this time and I can’t…I can’t lose you. Not the way I lost Wanda. Not the way I lost Que.

Pietro, I am living my life for myself the best way I know how. If it’s not me trying to stop Wanda and Adrion, who else would it be? Natasha? Clint? They’re human-- they can’t stop them; they’re flies to them. One life is nothing compared to everyone else’s-- my life is no more special than those who don’t deserve to suffer.

“I–I” Kitty fumbled over how to even start this conversation. He was right, she had kept a closed lip over everything that had happened recently – and a lot had happened. She’d tried not thinking about it, it had gone well until now. Now… now she wasn’t sure how to say anything without Robert burdening that guilt. “I don’t know what to say. I’ve tried really hard to ignore it.”

Robert’s eyes roamed over the girl’s form, his lips falling into a frown he habitually wore. The anger that had slowly ebbed since being taken in by SHIELD and then the Avengers only grew again since the confrontation-- he’d almost forgotten the red-hot feeling coursing through his veins until now. He was childish to believe in family, but as his gaze focused on Kitty, he knew he wasn’t childish for being with her-- for following her. The only thing that kept him sane. “Everyone deals with things differently,” Robert said after a time unclenching his fists slowly, “I show it in anger-- you know this. The instinct to fight and challenge those around me, but once you have the words for whatever you need to say-- you can tell me. I’ll never be mad at you for speaking your mind. I want you to rely on me as much as I rely on you-- I wouldn’t be able to stand and endure this farce of a happy home if it weren’t for you.”

And that’s the problem, isn’t it? We need to reach their level if we have any chance of actually winning. Oh, or how about this lovely notion nobody has considered, Rob, they are never coming back. They burned their bridges and we have the right mind burning ours.

Pietro, maybe you didn’t think about this at the time, but I was in the mindset to kill. I tried to kill Quentin, Adrion, whatever the fuck that thing is-- and I almost died. You may want to wash your hands of them, burn your bridges and forget that they’re there, but I can’t.

They have the potential to destroy the world with their pinkies and while they still remain that way, against us, I’ll be against them. At this point, I don’t want them back-- but I can’t let them be.

[robertxdrake]

quicklittlebastard-pietro‌:

It’s one in the same for people like us.

I don’t see how that couldn’t be what we needed before anyway, you are just scraping the surface of your abilities, Robert. Since when has running fast ever benefited the team? Ever helped against Wanda and Adrion?

I’m not comparing abilities with you Pietro. We still both got our asses kicked, regardless of who has what power-- they are on a different level.

[robertxdrake]

shadowedxkitty‌:

What’d you mean?

We haven’t talked about it. Them and what happened; we haven’t really even talked about what happened with John.

I know these things have been hard for you, yet I feel like you haven’t said a thing after they happened.

[robertxdrake]

shadowedxkitty‌:

Transparency. It’s kind of my thing.

You know, for someone that can see through my bullshit and everyone else’s-- you’re not so transparent yourself.

[robertxdrake]

quicklittlebastard-pietro‌:

And what if I did? Perhaps, we shouldn’t care about just letting go for once.

Letting go and not caring, and using ones abilities to their fullest are two completely different things Pietro.

You do realize that I have the power to bring about an Ice Age and kill almost everyone on this planet, correct? That’s my using my abilities to their fullest-- not my ideal of a good time. 

[robertxdrake]

shadowedxkitty‌:

That’s because I know you well enough now to know it wouldn’t stop you from throwing them off the balcony.

You always could see right through me.

[robertxdrake]

thebrokenxballerina‌:

And still he’s known for throwing a tantrum every once in a while. 

Sounds like he’s going to be one hell of a Bridezilla.

Not that I don’t love chatting with you, but I know what you’re doing.

[robertxdrake]

thegabrielaxstark‌:

There’s a strict no superhero shenanigans protocol tonight. You don’t want to face the disapproving frown from Steve. Trust me.

It can’t be that bad-- seriously?

[robertxdrake]

quicklittlebastard-pietro‌:

Why do you think I’m clamoring to see the grotesque limits of your abilities for myself? It’s my dream.

You don’t want to see the grotesque limits of my abilities, Piet.

[robertxdrake]

thefallenprince-loki‌:

If you wish to express your agitation, killing them is a mercy. Torture gets the point across.

Who are you again?

[robertxdrake]

thegabrielaxstark‌:

Fine. But I won’t stop someone from punching you once you’ve annoyed the wrong person.

I don’t think you want someone punching me, Gabi-- I don’t think anyone brought their winter coats to this.

[robertxdrake]

thebrokenxballerina‌:

Please; no murder tonight. Tony would never forgive me.

He’s a big boy. It’s his fault for having so many people packed like goddamn sardines.

[robertxdrake]

thegabrielaxstark‌:

If you start trouble at my dads engagement party I’ll throw you off the balcony.

Then I guess you’re going to have to follow me around and make sure no one touches me.

[robertxdrake]

shadowedxkitty‌:

It’s a pretty big party, I think the chances of someone not bumping into you again are low.

You’re not telling me not to.

[robertxdrake]

quicklittlebastard-pietro‌:

I think you should use your powers, push them over, and see if they shatter when they hit the ground. It’d be a fun experiment.

I haven’t thrown frozen people from high places but they do get cold enough to  shatter; real messy when they thaw.
