I-I don't want to go home anymore!

I won't go.

I can't go to a reality where I turn into that. I can't. I can't.

No-- it's... It's not your fault, Xav.

It's just me.

It is not you, and if you resist it thus it never will be.

Had the circumstances of my upbringing been different, perhaps I would be one of the Skrulls this krew needed to kill. It is not pleasant to dwell on, but perhaps that is me in an alternate universe.

You cannot let this define you, Abby.

You don't understand! I-I felt it. I felt myself changing. Back at home-- when I had to kill someone on a mission.

What if I change even more?

No, I do not understand. What are these missions?

My first one... The cadets were sent with War Machine to kill HYDRA terrorists who tried to assassinate the president.

I shot one. He died.

Hm. It is not unusual to kill on your first mission.

If you are so afraid of what you might become, why not leave these cadets?

But I don't want to kill people! I just signed up with the Initiative so I could fly without getting arrested.

If I leave camp, they might take my powers away, o-or something.

My friends, my beloved and I are not registered, and that has not stopped us from using our powers.

If you truly do not wish to kill anyone, you will leave the Initiative; if not, whatever happens is your responsibility.

B-But... But I'm not...

I'm not strong like you are.

It is not about being strong, it is about doing what you believe to be right.

It would seem you are already moving in the right direction.

You really think so?

You really think I can change it?

Yes.

It is not easy, and there have been times when I have almost slipped, but it is not impossible to change yourself.

... Okay.

I promise to try.

I am glad of it.
