[John's teeth dig in. This is exactly who he is, who he needs to be to protect Norfinbury from the sinners who want to destroy everything. But it's Sylar's words, of all people, that swirl through his mind.

'What are you going to do if he turns out to be one of us sinners?'

That had been for Sherlock, his best friend. Sherlock had chosen right, though, he'd been with the Prophet. But Bucky... Bucky is his friend here, too. Why did he lock himself up? Clint had asked. More than one of the others on his side had asked. He'd done it to protect the sinners. Did that make him complicit? Probably.

John unlatches himself from Bucky and shoves the other man forcefully away.]

Get... get out. Get out of here, Bucky. Protect Kid. Protect... protect all of them or I'll kill you. We'll all kill you.

[He stumbles back, and there's a second where he considers refusing. It goes against his instincts to leave a friend tied up and out of his mind, but the plea isn't one he can ignore.]

...I will.

[His jaw firms and he turns away.]

I'll be back by morning to make sure you're okay.

[And then he's gone... and he won't be back, because Tifa will be killing him.]
