Summary
“Maybe I’m making a mistake J. I don’t think I can bring these people together. Bruce is a self-loathing shut-in, who just does not see how awesome he is. Barton is totally unstable, even I can see that, and what does that tell you? Widow scares the life out of me. Captain America is still a self-righteous dick, who thinks Howard’s a god. Thor, an actual god, is an alien who lives on another fucking planet. And me? I’m the most fucked up of them all. There is no way this is going to work. Why did I think this could work?” Tony had his knees pulled up to his chest as he gripped his head in his hands. God, he was just so damn pathetic.
