[That hits the point really. This nasty hero business. The more Rue learns of it, the more they detest everyone involved.
Finally, Rue's touch tightens around Casey, as if just speaking on the matter rattles up some worry within them that he will be scooped up by these Avengers or whoever they are next.]
It reminds me so much of the way my Hob was treated by those in authority over him, which was already quite upsetting enough and he is a full grown man. To think any adult could look at a child like Peter or Leo and expect them to be more than they already were. To instill this idea that their feelings and happiness will always come second to everyone else's, oh, I want to curse everyone involved!
I don't know if I have ever agreed with something more. Such a thing should not exist. No community should rely on one individual to shepherd them to safety, no matter what grand ability they have been given. We should carry that weight equally. Back home, the archfey were so desperate to keep every court divided from the other, but I have always known we would ever only be stronger together than apart.
