Ack.

...DREAMS Thor immediately came to mind.

‘He had a rage in him Barton. So grossly consuming I didn’t understand, or didn’t want to. A pain so big, too big; I refused to even try acknowledge for my own fear that I could not even begin to help him repair what little I glimpsed of it. I was so focused on my own view; I missed too much.' 'I knew father had lied to us both, but tried not to think of what that meant for him. How that skewed and shook.. everything, he was; and everything he had ever known. How one well meaning lie where one did not belong re-shaped the way he saw every memory.' ' I missed that timing as well, catching the hand he kept reaching for me, for anyone who might be able to assist him, assure him. Everything that happened to him, I had some hand in helping; as I failed him in that as his brother. I failed him as much as he failed himself, and perhaps more, in being too proud to take his side even where it mattered. Even where I should have. And I will never have the chance to amend that fully. That chance ended when the light drained from his eyes before me.’

So what? What does it matter? What? You wanna remember the truth? That you had a mother that beats you? That hated you? That made your life a living hell?
