Okay, this is messed up, but Danny says that Ward used to kick him in the balls for fun. What if Ward took advantage of his advanced age and power over Danny in other ways?

I would just love for someone to build on Danny and Ward's childhood "friendship" or lack thereof from the perspective of Ward taking advantage of Danny and being confused about his own sexuality. Or maybe even as a way of Ward exorcising the fact that his dad seems to sometimes like Danny better than him.
