It's a little late for that, don't you think? Why now, and not before you denied me almost all bodily autonomy?

[thedifferencebetween]

cuz sumtimes i fuck up

[girlcorrupted]

You're doing it again. Reducing what you did to "mistakes" and "f*** ups" when it was so much more then that.

[thedifferencebetween]

im not trying 2 do that

im admitting i fucked up

[ Jack admitting faults is a rare thing indeed, especially twice in a row and (at least from what Angel can surmise) not being entirely flippant about it.

But that doesn't change things, doesn't take back a moment of the hurt he inflicted on her. It isn't enough, Angel doesn't know what would be. ]

A f**** up is forgetting to close brackets in a line of code and breaking the program. "I f****** up" does not even begin to encapsulate the years worth of damage you caused. You tricked me! You enslaved me and had me do your dirty work under the pretense of it being for the greater good, and then murdered me as a thank you.

[ And she let him do it, that was the worst part. Even when she had started to become enough of her own person to clue in, to question it, she remained at his beck and call at least until the very end. When the damage she had caused had piled up so high there wasn't a clear road to redemption for her either. If there's anyone in all the galaxies Angel hates more than Jack, it's herself. ]

its when sumbody does wrong i dont kno wut else i can say

n i kno thats how u c things but i wasnt ever trying 2 trick u

u have 2 kno i never meant 4 things 2 get the way they did

i kno half ur life sucked its not like im thrilled about that

but i didnt lock u up just 2 b an asshole. u werent safe & i had no authority or real power & i had 2 protect u. i was terrified of wut theyd do 2 u

the eridium thing tho that wuz all my bad

didnt realize wut would happen shouldnt have taken that chance


[That one, at least, Jack has no excuse or explanation for. He'd gambled with her life and health, and while yes he had had the greater good in mind...it's still on him. He can't, at this point in time, deny that. Even to himself.

Damn robot brain.]

[ Even after years of learning how to keep her cool around Jack, Angel has a difficult time reining in her emotions to how he dismisses what he's done to her, how he rewrites her own history to her face. That this was how "she saw things" not how they objectively were. ]

You were terrified of what they would do to me? You drilled ports into my skull when I was 13 to connect me to the echonet and better utilize my powers. How was that protecting me?! Nothing....nothing you ever did was with my best intentions in mind.
