Speaking as a former supervillain who did some ab-so-lute-ly awful things: There's always coming back. Not going back, perhaps, but coming back.
People forgive, far too easily in fact. The guilt will consume you within its gaping maw far more quickly than the pain of those you hurt.
[ his own wound is still fresh, torn open by Thor. the guilt still haunts him, and so does the child that he kills. when the words come up he thinks briefly of the Young Avengers, and how readily they were willing to let his discretions go. ]
