Touch

All he had to do was reach out and touch her. Shake her hand and let her leave with some dignity. Or conversely, not let her leave at all. It should have been easy. Would have been, for anyone else, but not for him. Nothing ever is. He had ruined the opportunity to save them all. Had he really been the hero she thought him to be, he would've found the magical solution that allowed him to keep both his team and his ethics intact. But he's not really that guy. Actually, he's the anti-Midas. Everything he touches turns to shit.
