Re: Back at Home...
"Baby, going back to that whole reading people thing... and I hope you'll forgive me for saying this... who and what you really are is someone who lost everything she held dear. All her security, all her family. And then she replaced it with anger, because anger is easy. Someday you're going to kill John King, and then you're going to feel profoundly and totally empty because ever since you realized no one was coming home, and your sister wasn't going to get better, you let that replace everything else. You don't trust anyone because they're not your father or mother... and yet you value trust because its rare and precious and associated with them to you. You're cold and bitter and keep people at arm's length because, well, then they can't hurt you. But sooner or later, John King will die, and there'll be nothing left unless you find something to replace it with that means something to you... because that's how psychology says rational human beings operate. I can live with being a merc forever, bouncing from job to job and living for the moment, because its what I do. Its the fun of being amoral... I can go hunt nazis and serve a grand cause with Silver Sable just as readily as I can feed a bad man to the pigs and fix my makeup while they kill him to death. You can't... and that's part of what I... ok, let's assume the best possible scenario and call it love, love about you. You /want/, somewhere deep down, to feel good again. You're ok doing some rough things to get there, but you admire May and her outlook. You want your sister to be safe, and maybe someday be ok. You can look at the videos of Kine doing terrible things to little girls and be revolted, wheras I'm just critiquing his skill with a cat o' nine-tails. If there's going to be an us, baby, and we're going to talk long term, since we've established I can go any which way and live with the decision... let's do what would really make you happy. The TBolts... might be a little rules heavy. They won't let you go after King without frowny faces and maybe trying to take us in. Sable... would not only let you, but give you the intel to do it with if not lend some fire support. Despite which, at some level, the Wild Pack still rate themselves the good guys. They've even employed a couple Avengers. I think... maybe, if we went that way, we could maybe build something, make the world a little better while shooting really big guns. It'd mean sidetracking, taking a while longer to get to King... but I think you'd be happier when we got there."
