[Tommy does actually slow down to listen to Brandon, his eyes moving to the floor when torture is mentioned. He never got tortured by Norman Osborn, but damn, he knows what people torturing teenagers until they do what we want felt like. At least Brandon hadn't actually been tortured himself, and had gotten training and actual acknowledgement from the Avengers. If that even counted for anything. It seemed they had a lot of teens on supervillain watch.

I didn't graduate from anything that fancy. Mine was more a 'lets experiment and torture mutant kids and turn them into biological weapons' kind of deal.

[Trying to keep this blase.] The Avengers like to keep a lot of us on supervillain watch. I'm pretty sure Wolverine wanted to kill my brother just in case he turned into another Scarlet Witch.
