“And you’d fight people like me, I suppose?”

Probably.

Theo nodded.

Jack was still grinning.  “What would you do to people like me, then?  Let’s say you got powers.  Would you right wrongs, lecture schoolchildren on doing what’s right, and see bad guys like me carted off to the Birdcage?”

I wonder if any former members of the Slaughterhouse are in there. Honestly, it’s surprising that the place isn’t even more of a carnage.

Somehow, knowing the inevitability of his own death gave him a measure of courage he had never had before.

Makes sense. “Well, he’s gonna kill me anyway, so why not.”

Even so, it took all of the willpower he had.  Theo met Jack’s eyes for the first time.  The man’s eyes were a very pale blue, and there were lines at the corners.

Theo swallowed the lump in his throat.  “People like you?  I’d kill.  Sir.”

Nice.

And still the “Sir.”, ahaha
