I get that... I do. Why do you think I didn't tell him about it right away?
[There was a bit of fear, yes- that he was pretending for some reason, that he'd think it was a great idea and want to create a registration act here, that Billy would end up planting this crazy idea he couldn't take back. But there was more than that, much more.]
It's not like I hated him or anything. I... I was scared. I didn't want him to be that person. You know, Iron Man wasn't always like that? Back on my world, when I first met him, he and Cap tried helping us. He was strict, but a good guy. What happened in Stamford... it's like he was a completely different person.
[Someone who could betray their friends, watch them die and call it a casualty of war. Someone who could put innocent kids in prison for life and call it justice.
Someone who could let the warden of the Cube do awful things to prisoners just because they're not human.]
When we met here, I didn't tell him who I was- I said I was just a fanboy. I worked for him so I could keep an eye on him, see how different he was. Your Tony... he's the Iron Man with the Avengers I grew up idolizing. The real hero.
