“	I know what these powers did to you. How they warped what you believed in. But people aren't monsters. I don't want to fight you. I love you. And I love you. Let me train you. The power, Henry, you have no idea... No. You're better than this. Mom knew you could be good. She believed in you! I know you loved her. And I know Jordan killed her because she saw the good in you, too. Junior. Jordan didn't kill your mother. I did. You? I had to make a choice. Don't make me choose again, son. Stand by my side now. Or not at all. I will never stand by your side.	”
