Tony—

[solvabilities]

What?

[acceptabilities]

I'm sorry. I don't... [sighs, again] I don't know how to— I'm not good at this.

[solvabilities]

Not good at what?

[acceptabilities]

You're one of the smartest people I know, Tony. Hearing you say that you're not all that you are makes me angry at you. But I don't want to argue with you like this.

[solvabilities]

Then what do you propose, Cap?

[acceptabilities]

[just shakes his head]

I think we're both doing the same mistake. Just in different directions.

[solvabilities]

You don't make mistakes.

[acceptabilities]

. . .

I make plenty of mistakes. I'm not infallible.

[solvabilities]

Steve . . .

[acceptabilities]

What?

[solvabilities]

What happened wasn't your mistake.

[acceptabilities]

No? Maybe not. But it wasn't yours either.

[solvabilities]

Steve, I quit the team.

[acceptabilities]

You couldn't trust anyone. And you had to do something. That doesn't mean it was a mistake.

[solvabilities]

You know it was.

[acceptabilities]

You acted to the best of your judgement at the time. Don't blame yourself for that.

[solvabilities]

I acted with suspicion and paranoia. I don't know why you think otherwise. Didn't you see the tapes?

[acceptabilities]

I saw. Tony, you were backed into a corner.

[solvabilities]

I backed myself into a corner.

[acceptabilities]

Even if you did, I'm not blaming you for it.

[solvabilities]

. . . I know.

[acceptabilities]

And what about now? You're afraid there are still Skrulls around.

[solvabilities]

That's why I'm mass producing the detectors.

[acceptabilities]

Then who do you trust?
