[He stays quiet through all of it. Just... silent and attentive. Which is clearly a bit of a problem because the more Tommy hints at what he's been through, the angrier he became. It wasn't until the part about the 'Young Avengers' he was going to have to ask Billy about that, that his expression softened. Amazingly enough, Tommy had actually gotten through. A bit at least.]

Those people deserve punished, Tommy. They just.... get to get away with it? I don't like that at all. But if you agree to that being the thing that needed done, who am I to judge?

[His fingers card slowly through his hair as he tries to think of the right way to respond to this.]

It's... a lot harder to see the line between hero and villain on my world, Tommy. A lot. I'm a mercenary. Sometimes the things I do are for bad people. Sometimes it's for good. My boss and Rinoa saved the world with some of their friends. And yet when it comes to it, that same boss will accept a contract to take down political rivals of a client. And send me. Or go himself.

I'm a mercenary. A gun for hire so to speak, and I was raised to be that. So I really don't know that there's any 'heroism' in my future.

But I'm glad you found that.

You've given me a lot of things to think about.
