Interesting. How did he find me?

I helped him.

Hm. Somehow I'm not surprised.

I didn't think you would be.

I wish you hadn't.

Because he's completely single-minded.

Future!Elle

There is that, yes.

He's going to get himself killed if he's not careful.

It worries me.

Of course you're worried. He's your brother.

We should have an intervention.

Do you really think it would work?

Hm. I see your point. He doesn't really listen to anyone anymore.

He thinks he can save the world all on his own and that's not how it works.

I've seen that, but as I said, he doesn't listen anymore.

I don't think he believes he can trust anybody.

Which I can understand, but ignoring his own family is just self-destructive.

Maybe...and don't get mad here but...I'm not sure he ever really accepted you as family.

No... You're right.

He never saw how much you changed. He looks at you and sees....who you used to be.

I know. It's something... even I can't fix.

You don't have to. If he refused to see how much has changed while he's held onto his little grudge, then screw him.

Now, Elle. Taking that attitude would make us no better than him.

I'm sorry. I know. It's just....He tends to bring out the worst in me.

He tends to do that in a lot of people.

Is everything alright, though? Other than..him.

As much as it can be.

He's dangerous, Gabriel.

So was I, once.

But there are people after him. They're calling him a terrorist.

..You're worried he'll hurt me in some way. Or Noah.

...Yes.

I'll protect Noah. You know that.

I know you will, but what if something happens to you? I don't want to lose either of you.

... I'll be all right.

I don't trust him.

Then trust me, Elle.

I do. You know I do.
