The price of freedom is high, it always has been. And it’s a price I’m willing to pay. And if I’m the only one, then so be it. But I’m willing to bet I’m not.
I’m glad you’re back at the compound, I don’t like the idea of you
rattling around a mansion by yourself. We all need family. The Avengers
are yours, maybe more so than mine. I’ve been on my own since I was 18. I
never really fit in anywhere – even in the Army. My faith is in people,
I guess. Individuals. And I’m happy to say for the most part, they
haven’t let me down. Which is why I can’t let them down either. Locks
can be replaced, but – maybe they shouldn’t. I know I hurt you Tony. I
guess I thought – by not telling you about your parents I was sparing
you, but… I can see now I was really sparing myself. I’m sorry.
Hopefully one day you can understand. I wish we agreed on the Accords, I
really do. I know you were only doing what you believe in, and that’s
all any of us can do, it’s all any of us should. So no matter what, I
promise if you – if you need us. If you need me, I’ll be there. Steve
