Filtered to Friends and Family Who Aren't Clint or Klaus
It isn't that I'm not grateful for how much Clint cares and all, and I do love him a lot. And Klaus, too, he's been a really great step-dad type.

But I really, really hate how many major moments my actual Dad and Mom are missing out on. And like...it's been years now. I have to face up to the fact that they're just not coming. Or Cooper or Nate, for that matter. They missed prom, they're missing graduation, they won't see me open a business or go to college, they haven't gotten to meet Ben and Molly and America and Kamala and all of you and it just kind of sucks if I think about it for too long.

I'll probably regret writing all of this out in approximately ten minutes but I just keep thinking it and, well, yeah.

	You don't need validation from anyone, but it's totally okay to miss them. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I know. I do. And it isn't as bad as it was when I got here. And you know I love you, and I love my little family here. It'd just be nice to have more of my family is all. I guess I just don't want Clint thinking he isn't enough, you know? He's busted his butt taking care of a kid he definitely never asked for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I love you, too, and I know you do, and I know it's not the same, but I kind of get where you're coming from in as much as I can. It's probably the height of stupidity to say, but the sentiment is genuine: it's not fair. For a lot of reasons, most of which you already laid out right up there. You have no idea how much I wish your Mom and Dad would show up, but it's not even an eighth as much as you want them here.

I'm not at all and never really want to be a mind reader, but I'm sure he knows what he is to you and you are to him. And I know he loves you because you're family.

No, I know you do. Most of us probably do. For you it may not be your dad but it'd probably be nice to have Viktor and Luther and Diego and Five all back. And I am happy here, I honestly am. But I'd love them to get to see how happy I am and why. I'd really really love for them to get to meet you.

What?? That's not one of your powers?!? I am shocked. Baffled, even.

I hope so, though.

	Yeah, I'd really love to meet them, too. It's nice when this place gives us our wishes, but there are so many more it misses. I know, I disappoint myself daily. 😂 I think any single hug you give him means he knows. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
