It's... I don't want to watch things disintegrate around me, Adam. My mother and Linderman wanted me to blow up and destroy the city I call home. If it hadn't been for Nathan, I would have murdered all of those people... for what? Things like nuclear explosions and viruses -- they don't only kill the guilty. They kill everyone, guilty and innocent alike, and god, all that potential, lost... There's got to be a better way. I can't believe I have all of this power just to destroy...

*softly* I know so. Empath, remember?
