Maybe you're a good guy to the people you're trying to protect.

All you've done to me is treat me like the Nazis did. That makes you a bad guy, and no amount of 'but I'm not' is gonna change that. Own up to what you did.

Asshole.

[zunesareawesome]

Okay. Yeah, you're right, I'm an asshole!

[A huff. But he's admitting it, not being sarcastic.]

I did what I had to do but if I had to do it again, I'd...[He wasn't sure. But...]

I saw what they did to you. I don't want to be like them. You're a good dude, I wouldn't want to hurt you. I didn't mean it.

[advanced]

Then don't be like them.

Here's some free advice; even if you hadn't seen what was in my head, what you'd done would have been just as bad. A real good guy, one of the heroes, protects everyone. The individual and the whole.

Now don't contact me again.

[Peter doesn't say anything for a beat. That's...surprisingly profound, and he's slowly digesting it.

But then--]

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sorry. [Was it really gonna be like this? He felt the sting of shame, but also he was fairly salty about it, too. A strange, guilty dichotomy.]

I was gonna ask you just...just one more thing, though. The infinity stones on earth. I have to tell my friends about that. I won't tell them about you, unless you say it's okay, but we need to talk about the stones.

[advanced]

We don't have to do anything, I'm not forced to talk to you this time.

If you want to ask about them, and explain why it's so important properly, maybe I might be more willing. But not right now, now you have to go. I'm done.

[zunesareawesome]

Okay, fine. Jeez! I mean, I guess if you don't care that much about earth, after all, you know, the earth that we both come from! Or the universe. Not that important, I guess, even after you saw what it did. So FINE!

[He wished one could slam tablets down the same way one could slam a phone down. All he could muster was a furious stabbing of a finger to the tablet. He could not for the life of him, understand why he couldn't put priority on the stupid Stones.]
