I refuse to let the past hurt me.

It was the right thing to do. Everybody was right. The reality of being a hero isn't what you expect. It's not always what you'd want it to be. But sometimes, it can be better.

I want to tell Dr. Pym. I want to tell him so badly. That we know the truth. That we aren't the most promising young superhumans in the country. We're the most screwed up. That Avengers Academy doesn't exist to make us into heroes but to keep us from becoming villains. I know why they kept it from us. I looked it up. If kids know something about themselves, it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. But we do know, and I'm afraid it's coming true.
