[ The answer comes quick and without hesitation. He ignores Tony's surprise to focus on answering his question; no, you're not a monster. ]
I've been around monsters before. [ I am one. I think. ] Powers or abilities aren't what make 'em; how they treat people is. What they do to them. Torturing ain't a good start, but monsters don't know they gotta work with other people. They don't care about other people. Or anything other than themselves, and I don't think that's you.
[ Talk about your grandpa again, Tony...
There's a rock steady presence to Amos' communion, as though he's speaking straight up facts and knows it. But after a moment it lightens up, like the issue is behind him all of a sudden. Not worth thinking about. (He'd prefer not to think about it; doesn't want to accidentally start describing himself.) ]
Besides, not like we're gonna have monsters in the new world. So that means you wouldn't be one. Right?
