Kaito was always a man of honour and devotion. It was how he was raised, how he would always be. His strength led us through many dark moments. That said, he was a tight assed bastard. A trait, at least in part, you should understand. But in those moments, faced with Kaito or your rantings about the virus, whom do you think sounded more balanced? I might also note you made more than a few enemies with, shall we call it, your want for certain people? You weren't exactly subtle in your desires in anything. Jealousy is not easy to combat. I did not turn on you for that, but I could well name a few that did.
There was no way to groom Nathan for his place in our world and tell him. He needed to be a certain way, a certain kind of man. I couldn't do that and tell him his parents had powers like the super heroes in his brother's comics. I couldn't tell him what I could do or he might have fought it. They still don't know, nor will they ever.
You weren't there! You didn't raise Peter, nor would you have if we hadn't locked you up so don't even start that song and dance again, Adam. He was not the easiest child, not like Nathan. Not like, apparently, Claire was before she went rogue.
Me especially? I wasn't expendable but now I am? Do you still seek to kill me, Adam? You marked me for death. Should I still be waiting for you? Shall I leave the bedroom window unlocked, lay upon my death bed and wait for you?
We never had that, Adam. Not even you! Why coddle them when we weren't coddled? Despite where your DNA may lie, you have never been a parent. I doubt you would have had the time for it had you not been locked up. Tell me I'm wrong, it changes little. You brought fear to a group that hoped for a better future, a place where we didn't have to hide. One of our own made us fear for the future of humanity, that there would be a humanity to have a future.
