i know, you said. i won't




she had to spank him?

[carrera]

Public punishment to try and discourage others. Public humiliation.

Okay, neither of us wants to have this talk but... You need to take the insistence on quota seriously. Neither of us wants me busting in on them trying to do the same to you.

[greenily]

dick, i can't even tell you how much i don't want to talk about this

[carrera]

Just don't end up on one of those videos.

Got it?

[greenily]

Like it's that easy???

[carrera]

There's... Okay. I have never had to have this talk so just deal with it.
There's other means than actual sex. You don't have to push yourself, but consider your options before they dose you.

It happened to me and there's nothing I wouldn't do while I was under it.

[greenily]

well, i can't let that happen to me

[ Not after Cadmus. Not ever again. ]

i'll
okay. i did meet this one girl
her name's anna. she's nice, i just


never mind. i'll try i promise.

[carrera]

That is part of why I'm concerned, Gar.

[ And a lot hating seeing Jason like that and not even wanting to imagine Gar like that. ]

Good. I'm glad you're meeting people here that can help.
I can't imagine how harddifficult things are in this place at your age and with what's expected of you. I'm sorry you're having to face this.

[greenily]

we all have to face it
you know jason's not much older than me

this really isn't how i thought it'd be.
you know that i've never
i mean i didn't even have a girlfriend, dick. and i wasn't exactly me meeting people back at the chief's place

[carrera]

Right or wrong, and it's wrong, your and Jason's lives have been different.

[ Gar is a kid to him, and Jason makes him sometimes feel he's the sheltered one. ]

I know. It's why I hate this for you. If there was a way around it, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

[Even if it meant dosing him again or putting him on display. ]

[greenily]

you can't always protect us, dick

i don't think you should try.
you do that. you take everything on yourself, that's what caused all the problems before. all the secrets. it's why everyone left.

so don't. please.

you can't always protect us, but you're here. that's enough.

[ That's actually all Gar has ever wanted. ]

[carrera]

[ Gar's right, and he knows it. That's the worst part. Even if it's a blow. ]

It's hard not to try.
Especially with everything that has happened.

But you're right.
I'll try.

[ He knows it's not something he can do. His entire life has been sacrificing himself to protect others. Different cities. Different people. His people.

But the least he can try and do is pretend after that. ]

[greenily]

me being here isn't your fault
but i know you have my back. that's what's important

i'm not gonna be stupid, i promise.

[carrera]

It's not thinking you're being stupid.
It's this place working against you.

I trust you to take care of yourself, Gar.

[greenily]

i know


i like that you look out for me. i know i shouldn't be glad you're here, but i kind of am.
which i know is shitty, i'm sorry.

[carrera]

If you're stuck here, I'm glad I am too.
Don't be sorry. We're a team.

[greenily]

yeah, we are
three of a team, anyway.
if the third even counts himself that way anymore.

[carrera]

Not sure Jason would agree, but we accept that and we'll do what we can.

[greenily]

yeah.
i'm on board.

[carrera]

Then we'll work this out, Gar. We'll find a way.
