When the opportunity arose, and it did, to discuss moral matters that hid deep seeded personal grudges, the team gave it their all.
If a story broke the news, the topics were raised, and-specifically- if a Star Wars movie was lighting up the TV screen, the merit of redemption-or lack thereof-became a brewing argument. On a particularly sad note, Anakin had finally died, and the aftermath left the two gods of the team shell shocked, as Tony looked on with a smirk on his face, still a bit surprised that they hadn't ever seen the series.
Loki had closed his agape mouth, eyes shining with emotion, and Thor had sniffed to keep himself from crying, a bowl of popcorn in his lap. Jane, snuggled up at his side, smiled amusedly, and Sigyn's eyes were as round as saucers, the gleam of disbelief lying in her silvery gaze. Clint had shrugged, idle, rolling his eyes.
"But the guy deserved it."
And so, an argument-one that lasted over two hours-had cut through the silence, one that had the team split down the middle. The ones that hailed from Asgard, or the ones overly close to those who did, sided with Anakin, while the rest of the team, excluding an indecisive Steve, sided with "any other possible conceivable character that isn't evil", as coined by Tony.
At the end of the red faced, shout filled, anger ridden disagreement, Loki realized that Clint still held malice over his head, and that Tony didn't appreciate being thrown out windows, and that Natasha, for all of her misdeeds, was will to switch to his side-an unexpected and welcome occurrence, of course.
And Steve, opting to choose neither side, just laughed at the end of it, happily aware of the time they'd wasted, and all too mindful of the deadly glare Clint threw at him from across the room, completely and totally not amused.
