Matt: Luke, you and I are not so different.

Luke: Yeah right. I don't jump around in a red, ninja suit.

Matt: Hmm...let me ask you this. Did you go up against a homicidal, morally grey bitter guy who wanted revenge for the death of his family but went about it in the wrong way?

Luke: ...yeah.

Matt: Is your arch-nemesis a brutal crime lord who just wanted to uplift their community? Also, did this brutal crime lord have a tragic childhood that involved the death of an abusive parental figure?

Luke: ...yeah.

Matt: Did you have a relationship with Claire? And if you did have a relationship with her, did your relationship end because you wouldn't give up the vigilante life?

Luke: Yeah and yeah.

Matt: Also, did the vigilante life consume you to the point that you started doing morally questionable stuff?

Luke: Yeah.

Matt: See, you and I are alike. There's only one more thing that needs to happen, and it's your ex-lover coming back into your life and dragging you into their mess. Know anyone like that?

Luke: (immediately thinks of Jessica) Uh oh...

The Avengers frequently lose Bucky after he officially joins the team. He goes away for hours at a time and everyone just assumes it’s best not to bother him. 

The thing is, the facility has a big kitchen and Bucky’s taken to hanging out in the facility’s huge, walk-in freezer. Weirdly, cold storage is his safe space. And because Bucky’s dealt with full-on cryo, the freezer is more like a spa than a fridge. It barely feels cold, and he can hang out for quite a while before it gets hard to breathe.

No one knows where he goes until one day Sam is getting a snack. And there’s Bucky, playing solitaire and eating ice cream sandwiches next to a bulk supply of frozen vegetables. 

There’s an intensely awkward minute of silent confusion as they size each other up.

Sam goes to get Steve. 

Steve steps into the fridge and takes in the sight of his best friend, slightly frosted, casually playing cards by himself. “What are you doing in here, Buck?” he asks.

Bucky plays another card and shrugs. “Just chillin’.”

I feel like most of the Avengers live by the quote “Be who you needed when you were younger” when interacting with people younger than them

  • Tony Stark (like he does with Peter) encourages and reminds teens/kids of all the positive things they do right and that their self worth isn’t in their achievements
  • Tony reminds the kids that they’re loved, if not at home, then by him
  • Tony reminds them that it’s okay to fail; that doesn’t make them a failure
  • Tony takes care of teens who lost their parents and kids/teens in rehab from different addictions
  • Tony makes sure kids/teens have a safe place and person to turn to because he knows that financial need isn’t the only concern a lot of these kids face and emotional issues are just as big
  • Natasha Romanoff (Natalia Romanova) looks out for people of any gender, but especially girls, being abused/trafficked (especially when they’re on missions and raiding HYDRA bases)
  • Nat makes sure that they get somewhere safe and that they feel safe (but not trapped)
  • Nat doesn’t push them for details, make them talk, or even touch them without consent
  • Nat protects and defends them from people who want to interrogate them for information or those who try to rush their progress
  • Nat knows that a kind word and a smile means, just as much, or even more, than the food and shelter, even if they don’t show it
  • Nat knows that every person heals at their own rate (she’s still healing) and makes sure not to push; everything she does is with consent and she makes sure to know her boundaries around them so that they feel safe
  • Steve Rogers protects all kids, but mainly those who aren’t able to defend themselves (“I don’t like bullies; I don’t care where they’re from”)
  • Steve also helps out kids who are sick or have poor health in different ways, but mainly by hanging out with them, doing physical therapy with them, and encouraging them when they feel weak(er)
  • Steve makes sure that kids who are weaker than others or who have various illnesses don’t feel as if they are worth less because of this or that they are less of a person; he makes sure that they know that their self worth is in the character and how they behave
  • Steve is a very encouraging person, especially when people are trying to achieve a goal and are feeling dejected (he got rejected from the army multiple times)
  • Peter Parker stands up and cheers for the little guys; whether it’s standing up to a bully or helping some kids build a lemonade stand, he’s always ready to chip in
  • Peter encourages kids to pursue their passions: from helping a first grader build a volcano to cheering on a junior higher at their piano recital, he wants to make sure that kids aren’t peer or parent pressured into doing something mainstream instead of what they want
  • Peter never embarrasses kids for making a mistake: especially bullies and other kids. That’s not to say that he won’t get justice (tell a teacher), but he refuses to publicly humiliate a bully; he knows that everyone has a reason for their actions (especially kids) and although that doesn’t justify their actions, it’s still important to understand the bully as much as it is to understand the victim (he knows how easy it is to act out of anger when you’re hurting or grieving)
  • Peter helps boys who don’t have a strong male role model in their lives by being an example to them, encouraging them, teaching them life skills, keeping them accountable, and letting them know that they have a safe place to talk with him

I could honestly go on and on with these but I’m going to stop it here for now…
