With great power, comes great responsibility.

"I was buried alive on my wedding day for no discernible reason. No bad guy to hit, no greater scheme to foil-- Wanting to fight, wanting to have some sense of control over all the chaos around you, that's natural," I say, shaking my head. "Or at least, I've gotta believe it is for my own sanity. For your sanity, though, you need to get over this guilt. Tony Stark is a grown man -- not a particularly wise one, for all of his intelligence, but he is an adult, not a child. He is accountable for his actions. Don't make excuses for him because he's dying, and don't let him off the hook. The only reason I'm not having him thrown in jail over what he did is because it would effectively be a death sentence. He needs to be able to work."
