well always be one for

The sight of Danny strung up and bloody appeared on the screen in front of the table and Steve had to swallow down a wave of bile. The pristine white shirt Steve had tossed him a mere couple hours ago was soaked with blood all around the collar and shoulders, and Danny’s face was already a mess of bruises and swelling. Steve wanted to scream, punch something, do anything to get Danny out of there and home safely. He’d burn the whole fucking city down if that’s what it took.“Whatever she wants you to do Steve, don’t do it, okay? Don’t give her anything.” Danny’s voice was calm and steady, but it was clear to everyone that he was stressed and hurting.“So, do we have a deal?” Mei asked, unphased. “Don’t make the same mistake you made with your father, Commander McGarrett. Don’t allow a loved one to die because of your stubbornness.”Steve could feel the concerned stares of the entire team as her words rang out, and he had to clench his fists to hide their shaking. He wouldn’t make the same mistake again. He had more than enough blood on his hands, he couldn’t live with Danny’s too.
