Hello, old chap. Feeling better?


Filter to Howling Commandos (MCU)
Kamchatka's all well and good, gents, but sometimes a fellow needs a place just for him and his mates. I'm looking for a place outside of Potts Tower to put down roots, and there's a spot near Gramercy Park that looks promising. Should I purchase it, you would all, of course, be welcome to make your homes there, or at the very least visit as often as you'd like. Days at a time, even.


There are times when one wonders if one's grief is entirely out of proportion to how well one knew a person. As for myself, I can say that although I have not seen Margaret Carter much in recent months, it was only about six months ago that I spoke with her, laughed with her, knew her well on a regular basis. As an officer with the Strategic Science Reserve, Peggy was unparalleled. As a friend, she was a precious gem, and I can promise you that no one was more glad for her than I when I discovered that she had made a good life for herself, a happy one even. However saddened I am at her death -- and I am quite, quite sad -- I am even more happy that she led a full life and allowed to man to stop her from attaining the highest position within her organization. Her legacy, a niece who is as strong and brilliant as her aunt ever was, is a good one.

Have you put anyone in danger since you arrived? Have you made enemies that I should be aware of here? That the other friends you've made here should be aware of?

No. But it's only a matter of time before someone finds out I'm here and decides to "recruit" me.

That may be the case, old boy. But there's nothing that says you've got to give in and do as they ask.

If they're threatening to kill someone I love? I don't have a choice in the matter.

No, but should that day ever arrive, you don't have to go it alone. Your options are no longer do as the man asks or your love is killed.

Why, because I can call the Avengers in now? My loved ones are still my responsibility.

You're confusing 'asking for help' with 'giving up responsibility'. But in all honesty, you're merely asking for trouble by preparing for it.

If I ask for help, I'm putting more people in danger. Even superheroes can get hurt.

What are you saying? I should stop taking protective measures and just hope nothing bad happens?

No, I think you're seeing danger where none exists, specifically for you and the people you care about. There's being prepared, Michael, and there's being unwilling to move forward just in case danger shows itself.

You have a certain skillset, yes, but there are hundreds of people who not only share that skillset, but who are willing to put those skills to use for a good cause. You assume that the people you might ask for help would be going in blindly to their deaths, but you don't consider that so many of us don't do this blindly, and instead do so because we want to take care of just the dangers of this world.

I guess I'm not used to existing in a world where my skillset isn't unique. And I'm definitely not used to having people encourage me to seek help. The reaction from Fi back home was usually more like "how dare you let your friends get involved in this, Michael." Because I guess their lives mattered more than mine did
