I am not Hank Henshaw. He died the same night as your father. The D.E.O. had been pursuing an alien for months. Not one of the Fort Rozz prisoners, but an innocent one that was stranded on this planet. With the help of your father, the D.E.O. tracked the alien to a remote location in Peru. Henshaw led the squadron sent to terminate him.
You're right. Jeremiah Danvers was a good man. He realized the alien they were hunting wasn't a threat. He was a refugee, like your sister. Sole survivor of a lost world. Your father tried to stop the mission, but Henshaw was obsessed. He'd finally trapped the alien he'd been hunting for so long. So, Jeremiah made the ultimate sacrifice. He gave his life to save that alien. Your father died a hero.
I am a shape shifter. When Hank Henshaw died, I assumed his identity to reform the D.E.O. But I also made your father a promise, that I would take care of his daughter. I recruited you so that I would honor that promise and protect you as if you were my own child.
If I get sick, I will under perform. If I under perform, our stock prices will fall, thousands of people will lose their job, the S&P will take a hit and you will personally have triggered the next recession. Do you want to be the next Lehman Brothers?
I understand that Kara is special, and not just because of the cape. She's the kind of girl worth risking it all for. Hey man, if I were you, I'd risk it.
Whenever I'm confused or overwhelmed I come in your office and you somehow sense it-like your superpower. I know I'm not going to be your assistant for the rest of my life, but I do know whatever I do next will be easier because of everything you taught me. And the truth is I need you now more than I ever have.
