"You're not going to bully me, J. Not about that." She knew better. And he knew better. She'd do far worse than ruin his resort if he fucked with her son. That was off limits. She'd call his siblings down if she had to, but he was not going to play that card. Just because he couldn't handle the memories of his wife and daughter, didn't mean he had the right to mess with other people's memories. He wouldn't do that if it were Hope. Anna had only had a few weeks with the girl, but she knew what was going on there. And she knew he knew, because time didn't work the same way for him as it did for everyone else stuck in his stupid "resort".
She didn't back down. She didn't look fazed. He could be as casual and snarky as he wanted. That didn't change how she felt or how she reacted to him.
"Neither of those situations ever made you human. Powerless, not human. Big difference. You don't understand and I'm sure you never will. Your view of the world is more screwed than mine is. And your ridiculous power trip is only pissing everyone off." Anna took a breath, if only to try and keep the haze of her unstable mind somewhat at bay. "You don't always have to temper the good things you do with another way to fuck us over, J. This egotistical maniac is not all you are."
