Fixit Chose Violence

She was fine. Had been fine, and that was something she would have continued to tell herself and anyone else that would listen. Except Fixit had never been the listening sort, in her experience. There was always something with that guy. Always something he was just one step ahead of you on, and it pissed her off to no end.

She'd been perfectly fine, and then he had to open his big fucking mouth and start something. Was it on purpose? Probably. Was he also correct in saying she'd hurt herself long before making a mark on him? Absolutely.

Doesn't mean she wouldn't bare teeth and try anyway. Before Molly realized she'd even made the fist, she hauled off and sent it flying into his face. And immediately regretted it as it sent pain shooting up her arm. "Mother...fuck!"

In stupid, impulsive moments, here’s this:

Seizing, knuckle claws out, fingers wrapped around Doctor Bruce Banner’s decidedly unimpressive neck. He’s shaking him, throttling him: He’s high on the power trip, knowing that he’s crossing a line that everyone knows they’re not supposed to cross.

So far, he’s getting away with it. It feels so good.

“I smelled my father’s fear on him when he saw you -- and for what?!” He’s spitting in his yell, joyous and vicious with his smile that’s more of bared teeth.

 “Oh, what are you supposed to be, another genius under the Avenger’s forever-seeing eye?” A laugh, here, cruel and loud. “That’s not what you’re there for, you schizo fuck. You’re delusional!”

Thor hmmms at the information, taking it in but picking apart the details to selectively retain for discernment at a later time. Instead, his mind is mostly occupied with comparing the name, the details, and the stuffed, well-loved turtle in an orange mask that Darcy kept on her bed throughout the travels with Jane, and, now, here.

It doesn’t seem right that they should be the same person...er, being, but Thor isn’t familiar enough with the source of either figure to argue.

“You always have a goal, even if it’s just to stop hurting. And if you aren’t hurting-- then your goal is to make sure you don’t hurt again.”
