I wasn't even going to answer you.  I have nothing to say to you.  You've made your choice, clearly, it's the life of the supervillian lackey for you.  Go you.

So what are you going to do when we're on opposite sides in the same battle?  Will you kill me then, John?  We haven't always been great friends, but--I don't know if I could do it to you.  Honestly--could you look me in the eyes and kill me?  If HE ordered you to?

I don't want to die.  I want to protect everyone's right to live, though.  Unlike you, who for some fucked up reason think you have the right to decide who lives and who dies.  Yeah, there are some normals out there that treat mutants like shit.  There are some mutants that treat normals like shit, too (gee, wonder if you know any of THOSE?).  Does that justify wiping them out, anymore than it justifies them wiping us out?

It's not all black and white, Allerdyce. Welcome to shades of grey.
