Fuck. Fuck! The man was right. Steve was just being a god damned bully! It was Rumlow all over again! At least he hadn't gone that far yet, he hadn't become a depraved beast. Yet. He snarled but started to back off. Steve loosened his hold on the man, lowering him back to the floor, the hand on Butcher's throat relaxing.

He wanted to hurt the man. He wanted to teach a lesson, but he had no right. None at all. Steve forced his hands away from Butcher and stepped back, all but vibrating with the need to rip someone apart.

"Fine. Do whatsoever the hell you want, just don't do it where I can hear you."
