You didn't choose to be tall or bulky but you chose to learn how to use it in a fight. And these people would control it if they could. They want to learn. But they are being blindsided by this. And getting hunted and imprisoned isn't going to help them.
No. We help our own. Lincoln taught me to control my abilities. He taught me not to be scared of them. He helped me. And we could help each other if the world would just let us.
Maybe it would have. Maybe my life would have been easier. But she would have been doing it for the wrong reasons. You don't kill a guy because he slept with you and lied to you and you're bitter. If you did, the world would have a lot more dead guys. And for all that he's warped and has no concept of accepting responsibility for his actions, at the time, he'd been manipulated by Garrett and killing him seemed like the wrong call. Don't get me wrong. I hate Grant Ward. I wish that I had never met him. I wish more than anything that I had never loved him. He broke something in me and I don't know if I'll ever be able to trust anyone enough to let them that close again. But killing him for being HYDRA because of a screwed up Stockholm Syndrome relationship and a history of abuse would have been wrong. If he'd died after Morse and Hunter? I'd say he deserved it then. Hell, I wouldn't even cry if he'd died when I shot him. The choices he made after Garrett are on him.
