“It happened to you too,” Nile says softly. “I can see how worried you are about him, but he’s not the only one who got hurt. Immortal or not, no one just walks off being tortured.”
“It wasn’t torture,” Joe says blandly.
After Merrick, Nicky needs to be alone for a little while, and Joe needs not to be.
Fortunately, Nile could use some company too.

Summary
“We can’t let it happen to her.” Nicky says, like Joe could have forgotten. “You know I’ll be OK.”
“I don’t, I don’t know that,” Joe retorts passionately. The tears have been close for a while, now they overflow. “Nicky. You won’t.”
Nicky shuts his eyes, lets his head fall back against the wall behind him. “In time,” he says softly. “I will be in time. Stop fighting me. Please.”

Summary
In response to this delightful prompt on Avengerkink which the mods are still discussing because working out if being anti-gay rights is homophobic or not is hard.
"I would love for one (or more) of the team to be asked to give a speech or a donation or something advocating gay rights -- and turn it down, because while they don't care if you're homosexual, they also don't approve of or condone it. I DO NOT want any bashing whatsoever.
I *really* want the other members of the team to be supportive of this because 'hey, it's your opinion. I don't have to agree with it, but I respect your right to have it.'"
One of the Avengers is a homophobe. The others respect the fuck out of his right to have an opinion.
