Oh, Justice. :-( I should have realized that people, Avengers and other characters we know, would have to die in a fic that's about a war, but it hadn't really registered, so I was still kind of hit between the eyes...which is just how a scene like that should go. It makes me wonder who else might potentially be on the chopping block...though I can make some guesses at "safe" folks. :-)
And Tony! With his tendency to take responsibility for anything even remotely, peripherally related to him or his work or his company, he's going to be tearing himself apart with guilt. Heck, he already is. Steve's going to have a hell of a mess to take care of when he can finally manage some hands on care for that man. He needs it so much.
And Clint! This seems to be the chapter for exclamation point responses. *g* But Clint! He must live. He must. *pets Clint* Weirdly, I almost hope that Hank has to come up with an antidote to save Clint, because Hank really needs to do something a little more tangibly productive; his self-esteem is pretty terrible at the moment.
