I don't care if it kills me. [Beat.] I don't care that it killed me. I just want all of you to be safe. I see you wearing the costumes... and it hurts. I don't want you out there fighting on my behalf, when you should be growing up, having a normal life, settling down, or doing whatever people who aren't us do. I look at you wearing the costumes and all I can see is myself finding you somewhere, too late to be of any help. I don't... I can't take it. I don't know what I'd do if it happened again. I'm afraid it will, because I know all of you. I don't want it to. The mission isn't worth more than your lives. My mission isn't.
