[ Her expression goes more composed, controlled. Her tone is slightly dry. ]
Even plants.
[ It was bizarre and juvenile, the logic of a three-year-old with a stubbed toe. All the power in the universe, the power of a creator, and that was Thanos' choice?
It had been possibly the most horrific loss she'd ever experienced. And everyone had experienced it at the same time. The world had been broken because she had failed to stop it from being broken. And there was no filling that hole, there was only moving on.
And then, there had been the chance to wind it all back, to make it right. The choice had been so simple. ]
[Even plants? That strikes Alexei as so incredibly senseless, because what did plants ever do to anyone? It leaves him speechless- a situation that always comes rare for him. The thought of such a barren world and the chaos it would cause is chilling. His lips press into a thin line and he sets the glass down on the table. When words finally do come to him, they form some very typical questions.]
[ Natasha debates for a moment, but decides to tell him the truth, regardless. She doesn't need to protect him. That's not her job. ]
He was an idealist. He didn't care who or what he had to sacrifice to achieve what he thought was the greater good. [ A beat, because at least in this way, there was a difference. ] The deaths were the point, for Thanos. He thought it would make things better for the survivors, if there was more space.
[ She fills her glass. ] He was an idiot. [ She tosses the drink back, welcoming the sting. Fucker. ] But a powerful one.

What is the point? Why take away that much?
