"I always wanted to be extraordinary," he said softly. "I wanted to make a difference in the world, to help and be a hero. About five years ago, I started having dreams I could fly. They felt so real to me. I was convinced that was my time to finally be somebody. Back then, I didn't really understand my powers and what I could do. But I still risked my life to save the world when I got the chance."

He glanced over at Steve. "If we get stuck in that torture room again, I want you to be the one to cut me up. We'll take turns. Deal?"
