I never meant for this to happen.
Any of it.
I thought this was what I wanted, but… it’s gone too far.
Petty theft and power schemes were one thing, but this… this was too much.
They were going to kill a bunch of kids. Hundreds of them.
For no good reason that I could see.
Just because they could. Just to show off their new weapon.
There had to be a better way.
I guess I’m not that evil, after all.
Because I couldn’t let them do it.
I had to do something.
So, I told him.
I leaked the right information at the right time.
I wasn’t sure what he’d do with my hint. He’s pretty washed-up these days.
But he didn’t disappoint me.
He showed up just in the nick of time and saved the day.
Or at least the kids.
I didn’t know their weapon was that good.
He couldn’t save himself.
I always hated him.
I hated that smarmy, self-righteous, over-the-top good guy act he put on.
But I guess he could’ve done anything with all that strength, and he went the hero route.
Maybe it wasn’t all acting, after all.
Good bye, Captain Hammer.
