(Off to pe see you both in a bit)

I want to go back to the Midnight.

He doesn't want to go, he's spend so long free of her that having her show again to remind him of that invisible leash and yank on it buries his pride. He would kill her if he could but thinking that makes that damaged coding flare up and he bows under it. She is the Empress, he must obey. He both happy and annoyed the nearest body to download into is the android body gifted to him by Tony. It's modeled after the original but far newer looking, and more slim, the metal still shiny and with no real damage to speak of. He likes it, though the original holds more meaning to him. Still this is a good body to see her in, no doubt he will be harmed and in this form the pain is fleeting. He prefers that. Pain is not a experience he enjoys. He makes his way to the transportalizer room and moves up onto the slight platform starring at the code pad. He debates turning around asking Dirk to turn him or even shit himself down but the coding that made him loyal rises up and protests and he struggles with it for a few moments painful whirls coming from his chest before he gives in and types in the necessary coordinates. There is a flash and he is gone. Hal only hopes he comes back.

I am aware it wouldn't. I'd just rather him not try.

Please don't encourage him.
