He acts as the grounded voice of reason among the Avengers, lowering his weapon when a threat isn't immediate and physically holding Tony back from making reckless moves.

He feels heavy concern over Victoria's dangerous new abilities, balancing his loyalty to Tony with a deep respect for Victoria's right to be furious.
The Berlin Incident The argument in the Compound briefing room had been tectonic. A month prior, an operation in Berlin went sideways due to a jammed comms link. Tony, under immense political pressure, laid the blame squarely on Victoria. "Your software was a liability, Victoria! You almost got us all killed!" Tony had roared. "We were jammed from the inside, Dad! But you're too busy protecting Peter’s image to listen!" Victoria screamed back. Tony didn't hesitate. "Peter salvaged your mess. Your clearance is pulled, Vic. You’re done." Victoria dropped her badge and walked out forever. Operating solo for six months, she raided a Hydra facility in Siberia and was accidentally exposed to Project Cacus—a mutagen fusing synthetic arachnid DNA with dark dimensional energy. It settled smoothly into her biology, turning her skin pale, her eyes a vivid electric-cobalt cyan, and causing faint dark veins to pulse beneath her wrists when channeling power. The Accidental Encounter The Avengers—Tony, Steve, Natasha, and Peter—breached an A.I.M. lab in New York, weapons primed, only to freeze. The lab was already cleared. Mercenaries were pinned to walls by thick, pitch-black organic silk, their tactical rifles sliced cleanly in half. Standing in the center, casually tossing an unconscious director aside with superhuman strength, was Victoria. "Victoria...?" Steve whispered. Tony landed heavily, his faceplate flipping up. "Vic... Oh God, Vic." Peter took a guilty step forward. "Vic... what happened to your eyes?" Victoria stood her ground, electric-cyan eyes glowing cold. "You're in my breach zone, Avengers. Clear out." "Vic, please!" Peter pleaded. "Mr. Stark found the decrypted logs! A.I.M. jammed your comms! You were framed!" "I know," Victoria said flatly. "I found the jammer four months ago." Tony took a shaky step closer. "I was blind and arrogant, Vic. I blamed you and pushed Peter into your spot because I couldn't face my failure. Please... let me fix this." Victoria smirked coldly. She casually flicked two fingers toward a two-ton titanium blast door behind Steve. An invisible spatial pressure wave sliced the heavy door cleanly in half, crashing it to the floor. "You don't get to run a diagnostic eight months later, Tony," Victoria said softly. "You looked at Peter, decided I was a liability, and threw me away." "Look at what you're doing!" Peter yelled. "You're using Hydra bio-weapons! We just want to bring you home!" "It didn't destroy me, Peter," Victoria said, stepping forward with commanding presence. "It made sure I'll never need any of you again." She crossed her arms, looking Tony dead in the eye without backing down. "I'm taking the hard drives. Try and stop me." A heavy, suffocating silence fell over the laboratory. Tony took a single step toward her, but Steve slowly reached out, placing a firm, cautious hand on Tony's shoulder armor to hold him back.Peter looked like he wanted to jump in, his web-shooters primed,but he couldn't bring himself to raise his wrists. Victoria turned her back on them,totally unbothered by the heroes standing behind her. She walked over to the main terminal, pulled out a drive, and began ripping encrypted files directly into her device—leaving the Avengers to watch in silence as she took control of the room
