| Justin: Every time... every single time we failed, every time we couldn't rescue the people who needed us... the thoughts of what they were going through... how they were suffering... they got worse every time. *Diana gets the impression he means someone specific by 'they'* | |

| Justin: I...I know but... It's still there. Still vivid, as though it was still happening before my eyes. There was one... four years ago now, near the height of summer. Sakhmet. Somehow the immortals got warning we were coming, assembled in full outside the city walls. Met us head on. We gave as good as we got, left them bloodied as we were, but in the heat we had to pull back for the sake of the wounded. By the time we were ready again, they'd dug in. We never got another chance. My... my rage got so great, and the visions so vivid that I beat my hands bloody on the training stump in camp, broke fingers in both my hands.
Theresa suddenly pauses, clearly a little uncomfortable. "You really don't know?" | |

| Diana gets up from her chair and walks around the table, standing behind him she wraps her arms around his chest and hugs him tight. "You don't have to think about it anymore." | |

| Justin just holds her, quietly, for a few moments more. Without his armour on, Diana can feel his scars through his tunica, all across his body, the largest being on his right shoulder. | |
