[ the video opens to a dark room. There's a bare bulb illuminating it, but it's not strong enough to pull everything into the light. There are two capekillers standing in view, the joints of articulation in their armor glowing a faint blue.---seriously, if that's all you've got, I'm going to have to request the luxury suite next time around.

I know you're upset, but please, stop.

Don't tell me to stop or calm down like you care. They captured a man who has been tortured so badly that he had to rip out his fingernails to survive. You worry about yourself.

I'll worry about anyone who looks as though they may be jeopardizing their own safety or the safety of those they care about by provoking a group of people who have proven time and time again they have every means to take every single one of us down.

They have never attacked without reason. Yet. Regardless of what that man may have been through before, he has made the decision to move against them. What happened to him was not right, but it happened. You can go to him now and help him or you can make the situation worse, putting yourself and possibly him in danger by making the men with the very large and effective weapons more and more angry.

You're absolutely right. Yay for you. Do you feel better now? If Clint made a move, life or death doesn't matter to him. It never mattered to us. In a perfect world, maybe in your world, there are heroes. We were never that. We were government pawns doing the dirty jobs that no one else wanted. He knew the risks. Clint always knows the risks.

Right now, I would rather die than live another under the thumb of these guys.

[Diana responds even though it's disconnected. Or possibly because.]

I don't give a mule's end if you're a hero or not, we can't fight a bloody revolution with a handful of combatants and children and I am not going to let anyone be so bullheadedly stubborn as to throw their life away no matter how brilliant they think their half backed war plan is.

If you want to die for nothing at all then by all means be my guest!
