Hey. Ethical question. A lie by omission to spare someone's feelings: still wrong?

	Wait. I'm the ethics guy now? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This seems incredibly unlikely. And yeah, probably. You're asking the guy who kills people for a living. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're also my favorite Avenger, so you get to cast the deciding vote on Dagny's Moral Dilemma of the Day. That's a yes to 'still wrong?' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hah. I knew it. Fuck you, Iron Man. Yeah. It's probably wrong. Might spare some hurt now but in the long run... I dunno. Depends on the situation. I haven't seen the world in black and white in a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...weird question. When are you from? Back home, I mean - before the vortex. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	After the Battle of New York. Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

~~Okay, don't 100% know what that means, but it sounds close enough to 'destroyed part of their home.'~~

Loki's my dad. It's not a secret in my 'when' and all of the kids know. I haven't told any of the 'present-day' adults because I didn't want to get Big Terrible'd and I figured that you all got along reasonably well (because hey: wasn't a secret in the future) so what did it matter?

But apparently you don't get along. So. I don't want to lie by omission if it's only going to make things worse. I would appreciate not ceasing to exist, but if you have to tell other people, I'll understand.

	Don't get along. This is... you know what he did to me, right? What he did to Phil? To all of us? Look. I won't say anything because ceasing to exist is kind of awful but fucking hell. Loki is your father. That is just. You mean some day we wake up and we're all just okay with him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know what happens. Maybe you're not and no one says anything to me about it. I just know that no one is nasty to me about any of it growing up. I just heard about Mr. Coulson. The phrase 'destroyed part of their home' was also used. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, yeah. Manhattan. Look, how old are you. 19? 20? It's probably died down by then. And while your dad is a dick no one would hold that against a kid. A lot of this is making a lot more sense now, though. Goddammit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Maybe he's just misun--~~ My ID says I'm twenty-two, but I'm really 19. I'll be twenty this year. ...I also do magic? I mean, I inherited the aptitude. I'm still learning to actually use it. (Since I'm being honest, I might as well be honest.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	God. Just be careful with that shit. I'll keep it quiet. Just... be careful okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

With the magic? Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, since we're on a Abe Lincoln kick, 'careful' is maybe more of a Stevieboy word than a Dags word, but there's 'oh hey, wonder what happens if I yodel in the middle of a supermarket' and then there's stuff that can really, seriously misfire.

Rule #1 is pretty much 'no screwing around - you either know what you're doing or you don't.'

I'm not going to get anyone hurt.
