	Why matters more than what. And if they sincerely want to try. Either way, you've got one up on me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmequake 2015-10-13 06:26 am UTC (link)
	No. What is pretty important. Don't take it personal, I can vibrate a man's heart. I'm pretty cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	survives 2015-10-13 06:31 am UTC (link)
	Intent counts for more. Nah. I'm used to being one upped. Nothing personal about it. I know when I've met my match. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Motive means very little to the people who have to bury the bodies~~ Smart. Know when you've been beaten. I respect it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It doesn't make up for the consequences of what's been done, but it counts. A strategic retreat garners more than fighting until you're dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmequake 2015-10-13 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	Not to me. I can't afford to let it. Sometimes though a retreat isn't always an option. Sometimes you have to embrace your inevitable failure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know, the SHIELD agents I know keep saying the same thing. But the best team I ever saw run put empathy ahead of anything else. Yeah. I know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmequake 2015-10-14 04:06 am UTC (link)
	And what happened to them? I bet they got hurt. Turned mean and hard. Empathy is lovely in theory but it can't always be what leads. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	survives 2015-10-14 04:17 am UTC (link)
	Me. I happened to them. My desperation, my fear, my inability to break away or say no even when I knew it needed to be said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmequake 2015-10-14 04:21 am UTC (link)
	It's a mean world we live in. You have to be mean sometimes to survive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	survives 2015-10-14 04:22 am UTC (link)
	I know. I spent thirty years doing it. Until I realized that surviving isn't always enough. Unfortunately, I realized it about 6 months too late. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmequake 2015-10-14 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Then you know. Empathy isn't always an option. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	survives 2015-10-14 04:36 am UTC (link)
	No. I know. Sometimes you have to harden. You have to shut things out. You have to figure out how not to feel. But life's empty like that. It's cold and hard and lonely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmequake 2015-10-14 04:38 am UTC (link)
	A cold, hard, lonely life in exchange for keeping other people safe? I'll take it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	survives 2015-10-14 04:39 am UTC (link)
	And I can't do it anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmequake 2015-10-14 04:41 am UTC (link)
	It's not the life for everyone. I was groomed for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	survives 2015-10-14 04:47 am UTC (link)
	So was I. Five years, plus official SHIELD training, and ten years on the job. Even if I wasn't as SHIELD as everyone thought, I did my job. And I was good at it. But I can't do it anymore. I can't look at everything like a mission, tackle every problem like it's the end of the world. I can't treat everything and every one like they're a threat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmequake 2015-10-14 04:51 am UTC (link)
	SHIELD is in my blood since Nick found me. I might not be the Director anymore but it's always going to be a part of who I am. I can't turn off my powers and people like me don't get to walk away. So, this is my life and always will be. Until my inevitable violent death. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	survives 2015-10-14 04:54 am UTC (link)
	And I'm just a kidnapped delinquent with nowhere else to go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmequake 2015-10-14 04:57 am UTC (link)
	'm sure I would have ended up worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	survives 2015-10-14 04:58 am UTC (link)
	Without SHIELD? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmequake 2015-10-14 05:02 am UTC (link)
	Yep. I'd be dead or worse like my dad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
