BARRY. I don't matter. I haven't mattered to anyone in a really long time, not really, so...I don't care if they don't like me and I don't It doesn't bother me.
If it wasn't for her, I would've taken my sister and left already. I'm waiting it out to see if anything gets better for Caitlin, because I like her a lot and she carries a lot more symbolism to me than I would care to admit because I think she likes me too. So for now I'm sitting on it and stepping out of Defense and hopefully between doing that and getting to know Caitlin, I'll hate this place a little less. But yeah, if we decide we're going, I'll let you know.
I know that I can I absolutely don't like and will never trust Steve, which is another reason why continuing to be on Defense is a bad idea for me, because like it or not, people look to him as the leader of the whole in addition to Alpha squad because he's Captain America and it is what it is. I can't work with him, because I can't ever trust him. I don't even know anymore if that's my problem or his fault, but it is what it is. People have died on my watch, too, before Sam and I'm sure, after him as well; it's not about that. That's a symptom. A particularly ugly one, but a symptom never the less. You've addressed the root cause. I hope that it turns around after this, for all of our sakes, but mostly for yours because I really didn't want to like you, Barry, but I do and I respect you an awful lot for posting this.
