#is as the absolute. silent. untenable fury of a man who feels that the person he loves most in the world

[microsuedemouse]

the fact that Danny literally has to walk out of the room when Steve makes the decision to go rescue his mother... lordie. he cannot cope with this. he's watched Steve put his ass on the line for Doris several times already and every time she repays him by being shady and keeping secrets and taking off and ultimately not being a mother in any way no matter how much she claims to want to. and he just doesn't know how to handle this happening again, let alone all of it going down in circumstances where Steve has to go completely no-contact with the team. Danny can't even go with him and watch his back this time.

not to project, gang, but there's just. so much happening in Danny's tone and on his face in that moment. "it's your mother; you're gonna do what you're gonna do."

#after the 8-weeks-later mark with Junior talking about how he couldn't stand not knowing whether or not Steve was alive #and then Danny trying to stop the team from doing anything when June finds Steve... #he's SO mad. like. #idk if the show's gonna give him the opportunity to actually express that #but at this point in the episode... the only way to read it #is as the absolute. silent. untenable fury of a man who feels that the person he loves most in the world #is risking his life for someone who doesn't deserve it #and is also stupid enough to demand that he do it alone. #Danny would have been mad if Steve asked him to come but he would've GONE and he would've HELPED #being told to stay behind? having his feelings and any advice he would've offered just ignored? being left without any way to make contact? #that breaks his fucking heart. and he doesn't know how to live with it except by being livid. #H50 tag
