Re: [Action, October 18th]

I don't know about your world, kid, but where I come from? The heroes aren't perfect. [She leans back in her chair again, crossing one leg over the other.] We've all made mistakes. More than a few of them were terrible. Several were on an epic scale. A few of them demolished cities here and there. Actually I think Cap's the only one out of all of us that can't claim responsibility for one of those, but I could be wrong. He might have done that too. I wasn't around when he was raiding Nazi and Hydra camps.

But the point is, you're human, Billy. With powers and abilities and capabilities that take you beyond mere humanity, yes, but you're still human. You think, you feel, you hurt. You're going to make decisions and some of them will be good and some of them will be terrible. Sometimes all you can do, all any of us can do, is try to do the best we can with what we've got. And if not... [She pauses, and her lips quirk, and there is a flicker of regret in her own gaze, there and gone again so quickly it might be missed.] Well, we hope there's someone there who can stop us and pick up the pieces in the aftermath.
