Oliver
I finally get out tomorrow! I can help you with fixing up the cities.
Oliver
You don't even care.
I do care. I just... There's still a lot going on, Oliver.
Oliver
I know, and I can help. I'll listen to you and everything. I promise I'll be good.
That's kinda why I'm here. You were right. You were right about the Maulers. You were right about Angstrom. They hurt so many people, ruined so many lives. Angstrom almost killed you and Mom, even. So if anyone else ever puts my family, or anyone I love, at risk ... I won't hesitate to kill them.
Oliver
This is rad! I haven't been on a spaceship since I was a baby. Look at this thing! What do these buttons do? Does this thing have lasers?
I'm not sure. You'll have to ask the captain.
Oliver
I'd get to meet the captain? [Omni-Man suddenly comes in] Dad?
He's here to help. He's a good fighter.
Mark, take him home. Now.
Oliver
No! My other home already got trashed because of you, and I couldn't do anything about it. So, I'm gonna fight to save this one.
Oliver
And you don't get to tell me what to do! You didn't even come to see me!
[The two boys look on at their father in disappointment.]
This isn't what I wanted.
Oliver
Yeah, well, me neither! [leaves]
What were you thinking of bringing him here?! This is a war! He could die!
Oliver's not a kid anymore. [Omni-Man's face softens] And Mom and I decided this with him. It was a family decision.
You didn't even want to see him! And you told me yourself this war isn't sparing anyone if we lose.
Not the war, Mark. I wanted to spare Oliver from me.
Oh, God, this is like that thing with Mom. This is about you, not him.
I made too many mistakes, Mark.
Look, I'm not sure you deserve it, but this is your second chance. Oliver used to idolize you when he was younger. What do you think the "O" on his suit stands for? It's not for "Oliver". [leaves]
[during his "training session" with Oliver] Alright. Feeling better now?
Oliver
No! I heard you that night at home with Mom!
What are you talking about?
Oliver
I was upstairs. You said... You said you didn't love my other mom. My real mom! That she was a mistake!
I-I didn't mean for you to hear that.
Oliver
Am I a mistake too?
That's not what I... Oliver...
Oliver
I wanted to be just...like...you! Like Omni-Man! I even wore your stupid symbol! But then you came home to find Mark and didn't even bother to see me! You don't care about me. You never did.
You're right, Oliver. I haven't been a father to you. [Oliver's face softens] But I'm trying to do better. To be a better person. It's just... It's harder than I thought.
Oliver
[grows hostile as he is not buying any of his father's words] You're too late. [flies off]
