[Half the time there was an aspect of jealousy, wasn't there? People attracted to other people, and then it became messy in the meantime. It was a shame that Kirk perhaps hadn't noticed the eyes that Tina had been interested in that way, but then again, he could see it. Kirk wasn't on the look out and once there was the illness, no doubt it sucked all attention.
He shifted to stand next to Kirk, leaning their shoulders together as the other man continued to weave a sad and complicated tale. No wonder the other man didn't want to talk about it.]
It sounds like he had taken a bad path long before he came and captured you and put you at such risk. You know that her death isn't your fault, right?
[He wouldn't know what it was like being fooled by a machine. The bots here were the most high tech entities he had encountered, but he knew that wasn't the same for other people.]
[Kirk has a hard time believing it wasn’t his fault. He was supposed to be a detective and he had considered Will and Tina his closest friends. But Will turned out to be his blind spot the whole time]
An outside source managed to dissuade the military and told them and Hernan and Bekka what was really happening. He was the last scientist Will tried to kill but it turned out he had escaped just before the explosion.
[Who knew it would be Lex Luthor who would save the Justice League?]
Will’s ruse also meant he got to benefit from the tower’s impenetrable shield. While everyone outside tried to storm in, I tried to break free from the Metal Man who was restraining me. Hernan’s punching was powerful enough to shake the building and gave me enough momentum to smash my capturer. After that, I deactivate the tower’s shield. Even then, Hernan and Bekka just barely got to me in time. Another one of Will’s Metal Men pinned me down again and was ready to rip my throat out until Hernan punched it in the face.
[Kirk really did owe Hernan his life many times over]
Hernan fought most of the Metal Men and took his fight outside. Bekka fought the machine that mimicked Tina. I had Will, right in the power core room. Will had enhanced himself with more nanites just in case. His strength, durability, and stamina were almost as good as mine and he could quickly heal.
[Kirk goes quiet, still not looking at Vander in the eye]
Will accused me of “loving only my bats and test tubes. If only she hadn’t wanted you.” They were the two people in my life that I loved.
