Steve Rogers in a deleted scene from Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
frank and the people he saved
#a.k.a. my favorite hero shot™ in the entirety of the mcu thanks #it’s the frailty of it. he looks just as fucked as the rest of them #this isn’t a hero and three victims this is. four victims. sitting and waiting for help #the fact that by some combination of dissociation and shame he can hardly look at those kids#the sickly realism of the blood pouring from dinah’s head just before he puts pressure on the wound#the kids sitting down close beside frank like. instinctively #the fact that billy predicated the setting of their ~final battle~ on fucking. triggering frank#and here he’s sat with another woman and two more kids bleeding out in central park #it’s like the universe subjecting him to some kinda twisted exposure therapy #relive the initial trauma but rewrite the ending #this time everyone survives but you’ll never survive unscathed (via @sonnywortzik)
