just... a thing
Then he gets a look
Alan's acting as quite the grandfather figure here. And seems quite a bit less bothered by the action overall, compared to the League. That's either his bystander status or his 1900s-era morals speaking, at a guess.
it's that wisdom, for some reason I cannot stop thinking of Micheal Carpenter : Dresden files. Just because he is not out their being the fist of God does not mean he is not still fighting in other ways. With wisdom, compassion and well thought words.
This is a man who an Archangel gifted his grace i.e. all his power to aid him in walking to his own grisly murder, preventing said murder.
There is the world that is and the world that should be, Its good that they stick to their Ideals, but something that pisses me off with the superhero Genre is when they endanger those they are protecting for dumb reasons. if your being hunted by dozens of enemies armed and fireing at you, you do not have to slaughter them just be as pragmatic as possible in this situation, use enemy weapons, shoot them if need be, divert them from your position if your abilities allow that, if your a speedster gain a firearm and return fire. Its even better if you do not have to fight the enemy if stealth or evasion is possible just be pragmatic like Paul is.

Beautiful ending on that. Perfect sentiment from both of them.

That was the word the SI meant to use, even if it isn't strictly correct. He has a bit of a thing about ageing.
Thank you, corrected.
The fuck is that from?
Thank you, but don't worry. Tesuji PMed me already.
That was the SI.
If you leave a child to be brought up in a government secure site, don't expect anything good to happen. Even in Star Trek, that didn't go well.

Well some idiot gave a baby to Evil Black Ops Group Number Fifty-Seven, of course it went wrong. Seriously, we saw this in Renegade: Lynne is perfectly nice, but someone decided to use her at the center piece of an Anti-Life projection array.
Killing her wouldn't even have solved the problem; they had other psychics they could have taken from elsewhere in the country, she was just the fastest option and happened to already be handy because she was given to them.
That doesn't prove anything about 'We should kill babies!' it just proves that asshole black ops villains generally need to be kicked out of every setting they can be found in.
I mean, heck, we've seen mafia Ultraman; it's not because secretly, our Superman is evil or because Baby Superman was evil or any of that nonsense. It's because his circumstances were different. (Might be parentage, might be Negative Universe Narrative Causality, might be something else.)

This was garden-path-y, I'd suggest rephrasing. "Starting the Corps could be building", maybe?

Yeah, you're right. My bad. Was focused on the people Scythe killed, not his upbringing. Mea culpa.

It's okay. As we see in Renegade, evil black ops groups are everywhere in the DCU, so it's easy to forget.
Got to be pretty careful to keep them from leaving Anti-Life and murder and demons everywhere, really.

Yes, another great scene from Mr Zoat.
I thought Paul's admission, that he wasn't an honest person and he never claimed to be, was quite surprising at first but on reflection it was enlightening.
It seems to me that Paul comes across as pretty up-front and direct with people because he just doesn't see utility indulging in the social white lies that most of us use daily to get along with others. Paul lies when it's required for him to get what he wants and he does it well.
It really demonstrates how different his morality is from the average. But is that a good thing or a bad thing? I'm not sure. What do you thing?

Confident old codger.
Although I suppose after his life he has every right to be confident.
Nice to see Paul is leaving someone on a good note.
Paul demanded the lasso. It is unlikely the League would have even brought it up. Paul was someone they trusted.
... ssssssort of?
Paul had some Pretty Surprising Things to say and even with the Lasso people tried to doubt a bit, it seemed (and then got reminded of the Lasso.)

I think it's a good thing. Lying isn't always bad, and often to maintain civility we are forced to tell lies. Politeness is generally constant lies. When people are all honest all the time, it ends up being like Paul talking to the league with the lassoo on. Other times we lie because the person we're talking to has no need of information that we know, and we're either giving lies of ommission or lies to say we don't know something that we absolutely do know. The old; "Yes I have jews hiding between the floorboards of my house." In my holy book, the Book of Xander, it falls under "Snitches get stitches." Or, we're lying to make a person feel better when telling them the truth just isn't going to be constructive.
Lying makes you a better person, if you do it decently, for decent reasons after having reasoned out why and how you're going to lie.

Or "I have fallen in love with you and having sex with you will rearrange my priorities to keep me on earth with you. Since my current priorities are for retrieving the Orange Central Power Battery and talking to the Controllers, I am arranging my situation to make that happen, even if that's not painless."

Mm... Maybe he wants to see if he can still become a wizard?

He writes magic spells by pressing runic icons and creating a page of light which makes eldritch things happen, so he's kinda a wizard already. Programmer.
