Jason he's a teenager and while the rest of us are off risking our lives and doing incredibly stupid things like fighting wars and investigating Cults and being recruited to mercenary groups, he's trying to do right by you.

I know you're trying to protect him, but all this is going to do is make him miserable, and that's so unfair in this place. We're already facing a war every day, and now you're grounding him.

I'm just asking for a day for something normal for both of us. This isn't just about him, Jason. It's me, too. I just helped the Red Hand torture someone until my magic couldn't bring them back to life anymore. I need my friends right now, and most of them don't have time for 'normal', or they don't want it.

Hiro needs it, and so do I. I'm just- ( a catch in her breath and she clears her throat; she's not doing this. ) Please.
