Mark said that coming to see you was selfish, and I think he was right. Do you want me to go?
[Debbie does not respond.]
Okay. I did the unspeakable to you and Mark. And then I did it again on Thraxxa, leaving you and him and Oliver to pick up the pieces. Words can't make up for something like that. But... When Mark first got his powers, I was terrified, because I knew it meant everything would change. My life with you would change. And I didn't want that to happen. But I had a mission to fulfill. A duty to the Viltrum Empire. And it should've been easy, except... I wasn't really a Vilutrumite anymore. I'm almost a thousand years old, but twenty years with you... Twenty years with you made me human. I know forgiveness is earned, not asked for, so I'm not asking for it. But Debbie -- I am sorry. I am sorry for the pain, the tears, the anger, the sorrow that I put you through. I am sorry for what I did to Mark. For what I did to everyone in Chicago. The Guardians, all the Thraxxans... For abandoning Oliver. I am sorry for all of it and I regret every moment. And I promise you and Mark and Oliver that I will spend the rest of my life trying to repair the damage I did.
"Repair the damage"... [She sarcastically laughs.] You still think you can do anything, don't you? Fix all your problems with your superpowers? This can't be fixed, Nolan. There's no way back from where you are. You murdered people. You extinguished families. You spread misery to the people who loved you most. How many people can't sleep at night because, every time they close their eyes, they see you? I know what that feels like because I'm one of them. And now-- And now you show up here with some bullshit apology, about to take my son to a war a million miles away where he could die, and you think you can repair this? What do you want, Nolan?
I... I wanted to say that I was sorry.
You said that. You're still here.
Debbie, I... I had to see you again.
Fuck you. Two months after you left, you had Oliver with Andressa.
Andressa was... was a mistake. I didn't know what I was doing. I love you. Not her.
Do you realize how you sound? You think that telling me you didn't love Oliver's mother is supposed to make me feel better? It just makes me hate you more.
I miss you.
You miss me? You miss me?! You know what?! I missed you! [Debbie punches Nolan's chest.] But you killed the man I loved! You! Killed! Him!
[Debbie rains more blows down on his chest, breaking the wrist that Angstrom detached. She cries out in pain.]
Debbie--
[Debbie cries out -- in pain, frustration, anger, sadness -- while cradling her bloodied wrist.]
I loved you! We had everything! Now it's all gone!
Debbie, stop! Let me see it.
No.
Ple-- Just let me...
[Debbie backs away.]
Am I still your pet?
You never were.
If I was supposed to change you, I failed. You're not one of us. You're not human. You're barely a bad photocopy. You got to say what you wanted to say. Now get the fuck out of my house and never come back.
