[So there was enough story coming out now that he thought he understood the situation better. He was already mentally calculating the odds of survival if he had a full team of highly trained STRIKE members and they were armed to the teeth as well. Likelihood that everyone walked out of a situation like that without some form of injury was minimal, and he gave it a moderate change of losing a member of the team as well. Hell, he had a team of assholes who understood the risk and were willing to die, but even odds like that he might consider other options personally.
And the problem was the location as well. It was prime for maximum destruction, as HYDRA often was. Hiding in plain sight it was often called, even if it was tucked in some underground place. Even without the potential damage to the population, that many guns against three people?]
So, did all three of you know and understand what you were getting yourself into when you entered that mosque, or was he in the dark to what was happening? I mean, I can think of only two reasons a boy goes into a situation like that without a debriefing.
[He understood the complications of blowing up a machine with power in a sensitive area like the Sultan Ahmet mosque. That was the whole point, after all. Force other people to hesitate because the loss of potential life was too much to consider and the international incident would have been catastrophic. That hesitation might mean the plan works.]
I mean, you saved people, but now you're just belittling his death. Sounds like he had a choice, and he chose to draw fire. So, you thinking it's all about you having to save him and failing in that means his death isn't as heroic as it is. You trusted him to do a job, and it seems like he did it with the ultimate sacrifice. Now it's up to you to honour him in what you do from here on out.
