Re: [Story Thread]: MM, Act II: Operation: Justice!
"Heh. Thanks." Tank couldn't help but chuckle at Ana Sofia's suggestion of buying him an ice cream to cheer him up. Was he being childish? Yeah, he supposed he was. If everyone (including Captain America) told him there was nothing he could have done, then he should probably start to believe it, and let himself off the damned hook.
So instead of laying blame at his own feet, maybe it was time to focus on who was really at fault here: Phantazia and the other Brotherhood members. They'd lit a paralyzed and defenseless man on fire, and were going to have to pay for that.
"You'd probably like Danny," Tank said to Zoey. "I think his powers are similar to yours."
Not that that was any reason to necessarily like a guy, Tank amended, mentally. It was kind of a dumb thing to say, on reflection. Maybe it was a good reason not to like a guy, for all he knew. Or, more likely, it had no bearing on the matter whatsoever.
"Okay, so if Danny, Newton, and Kate all know to join us with the Avengers... I think we're set."
