Oh... he's jealous. That enormous idiot is jealous of Monica. Three separate times he tried to take control when I was headed to meet her. They were clumsy attempts that I could resist with the most, you know, basic breathing exercises, but it was like he wanted me to be anywhere but with her.

How much is he conscious of the link between our states of mind? My happiness might feel like an existential threat to him, something his survival instincts are screaming at him to fight.

He never seemed to have a discernible reaction to my relationships in the past. Is it possible he doesn't approve? Or... no, my god, that's foolish. Maybe Monica makes me happier than I've been able to admit to myself, but... but he sees through it. Maybe this time really is different.

And now at work, it's like when we first began with the Avengers. He's less reliable, slower.

God I feel like I'm being punished.
