\u201cVictor, darling, I do search-and-rescue and crowd control for SHIELD. Yes, I can project.\u201d Summer propped her elbows on the table and looked at him over her hands. \u201cI don\u2019t understand what you mean. What is it you \/want\/ to do? I\u2019m not exactly suffering anymore. I have a job, there are people who see my abilities as useful but allow me to say no, and now there\u2019s you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re with SHIELD?\u201d Victor whistled, \u201cWell my thought process was that should something become difficult again, I\u2019d be willing to \u2018relieve\u2019 you of some of the emotion. I\u2019ve been to dark places so I wouldn\u2019t mind, and I\u2019m immortal in practically every way.\u201d He shrugged, realizing that he probably sounded a little ridiculous. \u201cI\u2019m sorry it\u2019s probably not one of my better ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

He looked down. \u201cWhat do you mean, and now there\u2019s me?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cYou seem pretty intent on being part of my life. So, you know,\u201d Summer turned her hands out, \u201cI\u2019m completely content to let that happen. And not be \u2026 alone, anymore. I\u2019m \u2026 not afraid of darkness. Of shadows. I\u2019ve \u2026 \u201d She took a deep breath, holding his eyes. \u201cKilled people. Victor. I\u2019m not really a good person.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor looked at her, not wanting to make light of the situation but slightly quirking an eyebrow. \u201cRemember who you\u2019re talking to love, I\u2019m no better, perhaps even worse. I don\u2019t know how many people I\u2019ve killed, how many governments I\u2019ve toppled. It\u2019s all a blur now really.\u201d He trailed off for a moment before he smiled and got up to kiss the corner to her mouth. \u201cAs long as you\u2019re content then this is fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I just don’t — hmmm — want you getting the wrong idea about me. I’m not some kind of pure, shining girl here to lift you out of the sewer. I’m not going to be any kind of balance for you.” She half-turned in her chair, taking his hands. “Thank you for breakfast, Victor, darling.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
