[Pain corrupts.  Pepper thinks back on what she knows of her world’s Loki, what he told her of Odin and fathers.  Still, even if that hurt is what drove Loki to invade Manhattan as he had, he isn’t the only one who has suffered.]
 
It doesn’t have to corrupt you.  [Her arms tighten around him again, not only due to his warning.]  There are people who have suffered and used that to motivate them to do good things.  Tony’s one of those people.  [A man who had seen and suffered, but took it all in and used it to become so much better.]  He chose to be a superhero.  You can choose to do something better with your pain, too.
