Really? Because that's what it feels like. [Billy is the one throwing it in his face that he left because of Loki and how he should have known better... all while doing God only knows what with him.]
Like he didn't plan that out, come on. For whatever reason, he had to know you'd bring her here with Mom's face, and if he was just bullshitting to get me to leave you or to cause problems? Then he knew how to get you alone too! And he knew how to hurt me enough to do it.
[He takes a step closer to Billy, eyes narrowing on him. Really?] You weren't a bad boyfriend! Do you think I would have threatened to rip off Quicksilver's legs if you were a bad boyfriend? That I would have been worried to death when you single-handedly invaded Latveria, or asked you to marry me? No. You're the one who thought that. All I wanted from you was-- acceptance, Billy. That you let me be a hero, that you stop saying it ruined your life. I wanted you to stroke my hair once in a while-- those were all things that could be worked on! They were problems, but they didn't mean you were a bad boyfriend or a bad person.
[He can't even get properly angry. He's too worn out all of a sudden, too hurt, and all of this is just an open wound... it's all too fresh, too painful.]
Stop apologizing. It doesn't undo anything and right now, it doesn't make it better either.
[He makes an idle motion, shifting back into his Hulkling form. He could use a little armor -- both because he doesn't know what's out here or how dangerous it is and because maybe it'll at least make him feel a little less like the Teddy who let himself be led around by Greg all that time.] If you really want to do something for me, be a hero and help me find those kids. If not, then leave me alone for a while because I didn't volunteer to back out.
