โ there is something wrong with me. an emptiness. โ
โ you werenโt listening to me. itโs like your mind is somewhere else. โ
โ do you think i like taking orders? โ
โ you shoot, i dodge. โ
โ you guys can never aim for shit. โ
โ can you please just say it normal? โ
โ how long has it been, huh? a year? โ
โ so youโฆ you feel fulfilled? โ
โ look around you. iโm miserable. โ
โ the light inside you is dim even by eastern european standards. โ
โ i've just been wondering, you know, like, whatโฆ is the point? in any of this? โ
โ the point of work is fame and fortune. fortune buys friends, and love, and a lot of cool clothes. โ
โ why do you have this photo out? โ
โ iโll make you something. โ
โ yeah, this just isnโt working for me anymore. โ
โ i need you to follow the target inside and find out what she intends to steal. โ
โ youโre not even my target. โ
โ iโm not here for you. โ
โ i know who you are and what youโre doing. โ
โ youโre working me. youโre trying to get me on your side. โ
โ you say you know who i am, so you know my story. and you know i didnโt have a choice who i worked for. but you do. โ
โ itโs my business card. in case you need some help or you wanna share some secret hidden evidence. โ
โ iโm not sure whatโs happening here, but youโre all exhausting and my job is done, so... โ
โ god only knows the blood on your hands. โ
โ pretty ludicrous coming from the dimestore captain america. โ
โ that was funny. thank you. we needed that. โ
โ it was getting so tense in here for a second. โ
โ all right, umโฆ tie yourselves up. โ
โ next time, why donโt you just text me like a normal person? โ
โ we donโt need to go rogue in the darkness, or whatever you people do. โ
โ what exactly are we looking for? โ
โ weโre looking for not stupid questions. โ
โ hey. didnโt think youโd come back. thanks. โ
โ no, iโm fine. iโm fine. โ
โ you do not seem fine. โ
โ yeah, well, weโve only just met. this isโฆ this is how i am. โ
โ well, you guys should just go without me. itโll be easier. โ
โ we all feel like shit sometimes. and loneliness, i get that. and that that darkness gets... pretty enticing. โ
โ you shove it way down. you just... push it down. โ
โ letโs just stick together until we make it to the surface, and after that, you can start a fight with a super soldier. get yourself killed. i donโt care. โ
โ so, none of us fly? what, do we all just punch and shoot? โ
โ you do not want to start the whole sob story game. i win. โ
โ well, you were just a kid, soโฆ โ
โ i just think it might be nice to know that you didnโt really know any better. โ
โ cucumber, cucumber, cucumber. โ
โ growing up, somebody told me that you can stop a sneeze if you confuse your brain. i always just yelled โcucumber.โ โ
โ youโre the boss now? cute. โ
โ anyone else have any pointless childhood stories to tell? โ
โ i will fight. you stay behind me. โ
โ iโve always had these episodes since i was a kid. thereโs a high, then thereโs a big low, and then my memory just goes blank. โ
โ you were right, she definitely wants us dead. โ
โ this has the makings of a team that can raise to glory. a team that can bring light from the darkness. a team of heroes that can be on the wheaties box and have little kiddie toyโฆ โ
โ letโs just forget about them, and letโs focus on you. and how perfect you are. โ
โ isnโt that what you want? to be accepted? to be chosen? โ
โ no one else sees it, but i do. and i think maybe your past is what makes you so perfect. โ
โ look, iโve been where you are. you can run, but it doesnโt go away. sooner or later it catches up to you, and when it does, itโs too late. so you can either do something about it now, or live with it forever. โ
โ you want to be good? or do you want to be somebody who changes the world? โ
โ you can do anything. โ
โ i'm the only one who knows what your true potential is. and itโs limitless. โ
โ i donโt wanna hurt you guys. why donโt you just turn yourselves in? โ
โ you can trust me. i know you. โ
โ theyโre not a threat to me, so why do i need to kill them? โ
โ there is no โus.โ there is no โwe.โ โ
โ youโre not a hero. youโre not even a good person. โ
โ why would a god take orders from anyone at all? โ
โ iโm starting to think maybe you donโt know what i am. or what iโm capable of. โ
โ i'm not afraid of you. โ
โ well, then, chase me forever. โ
โ If you cared, you would have called. โ
โ iโm sorry. i donโt know how to do this. iโm not good at it. โ
โ i didnโt think you wanted me. โ
โ iโm late, but iโmโฆ iโm here now. โ
โ all i do is sit and look at my phone and think of all the terrible things that iโve done. โ
โ when i look at you, i donโt see your mistakes. โ
โ arenโt you tired of fighting? let me help you. โ
โ you canโt outrun the emptiness. โ
โ itโs what you said. weโre all alone. all of us. โ
โ i have these good days, you know? where i feel invincible. but then there are a lot of bad days when i remember that nothing matters, you know? โ
โ so youโre just gonna sit here and let it take over? โ
โ well, thereโs no use in fighting it. โ
โ at least i found a nice room. the other rooms are much worse. โ
โ you canโt stuff it down. you canโt hold it in all alone. no one can. we have to let it out. โ
โ even if it doesnโt make the emptiness go away, i promise you it will feel lighter. โ
โ we can find a way out of here together. will you try and leave here with me? โ
โ thereโs no death here. the pain only gets worse. โ
โ i have a great past, so iโm totally fine. โ
โ the most shameful thing of all was thinking you could be anything more than nothing. โ
โ wait. you think they care about you? you donโt matter. to anyone. โ
โ iโm stronger than you. โ
โ you thought you were gonna be some great man? some savior? you canโt even save yourself. โ
โ we will always be alone. โ
โ it will always be just us. โ
โ weโre losing credibility. which we had very little to begin with. โ
โ weโre running out of space? Itโs impossible. this building is enormous. โ
โ i did the dishes though. โ
