Diana:
‘ but you ARE a good man. ‘ she responds, if he’s not — then what has she fallen in love with??? she wants to cry, but she doesn’t, she keeps the tears away, she keeps that face of strength forward. her hands reach to touch his face — she’s desperate to hold on the the belief that humanity is good — that ares is the one evil, that his elimination can fix it all. she’ll hold on to that until she can’t anymore. ‘ he’s — he’s the reason people do these things!!! ‘
Steve swallowed hard, if a woman like Diana thought that he was a good man, maybe he wasn’t so bad after all. He embraced her touch, placing a hand on the one rested on his cheek. Something in the way she said it made him reevaluate everything he believed in.
“Well,” His voice cracking, “I suppose we can’t waste anymore time then and go find Ares.” Steve didn’t cry, he never cried, especially not in front of pretty girls. This was an exception.
