Jack went completely silent as Natasha explained to him that the evil mutant who had killed his parents would not be able to get off scott free because of how she had incriminated herself. This caused Jack to smile as he drove down the road at a high speed. As he stopped at a red light, he listened to Natasha scold him for how he acted against Plague. It was true that in a moment of moral weakness, he let his rage and grief take him over and cloud his judgement but in a dark sense, it felt good. He just sighed a small sigh.
"I'm sorry Natasha. I wasn't myself, I was faced with the person who ruined my life and for a moment I forgot who I was and what I stood for, what Wild Card stood for. The scary part is, I don't want her to die. Death would be an all to easy punishment for what she did to me. I want her to live with the the mistake she made watching over her. I want her to be paranoid that I might come to finish her off and then, never have it happen so she lives the rest of her life afraid of a demon of her own making."
As Natasha told him to head to the Widow's ranch, Jack just nodded and headed out toward the country where Safe house Alpha was located. As he drove, the young hero's hands began to shake on the throttle and brake of his ride as he thought about the dark impulse that he had during the confrontation. He thought about how he had wanted Natasha to throw the woman out of the window to fall to her death on the street below. Thinking about it as he drove made him shudder.
"Natasha..How do you fight that impulse? The impulse to subject those we fight to every sick and twisted fate that they subjected others too? My former partner delighted in it and called it justice, I never understood why until today. I wanted to make her physically feel every bit of emotional pain I've ever felt and then and only then end her. If you hadn't been there, I might have snapped her neck under my boot. I hate that I felt that way..I hate that I lost control of myself like that. How do you not..snap?"
The young heroes voice was shaky and filled with a bit of fear as he spoke. He was truly afraid of what he might have done if he had been alone with the woman who ripped his family apart. He had been willing to break his biggest rule just for revenge and he hated it and never wanted it to happen again.
"I guess even I have a dark spot on my soul.."
