"No, you know what I want to talk about? I wanna talk about how you act like the only person here who's ever felt pain." Tony's raised voice came, matching Thor's own. To hell with the neighborly reputation.
"You think the breakup of the Avengers isn't a painful subject? The team--the thing I spent the last near decade of my life building? You think being asked to spare a mass murderer who was complicit in my ongoing mental issues because he's your brother didn't enact some kind of toll? No, I don't regret it, don't try and pull that card, but I don't know if you really digested that ask."
He was on a roll, and he wasn't about to stop. "The breakup--yeah, that's for me and Cap to hash out. He was there. It hasn't happened for him. He needs the preparation. You and me? We're facing the genocide of half the goddamn universe and you really want to pin me on something I didn't even ask for."
