He knew that it was a lot of new information for Daisy to process, especially after what had happened earlier. She'd gone out there, tried to stop the Rider from doing too much damage -- believing that Robbie was just as much of a victim as the rest. But he wasn't. He'd let the Rider out, knowing what would happen. And it hadn't made a difference to him. The silence stretched on for a while, but he didn't interrupt it. He knew that she needed time to absorb all that he'd told her. Problem was, Robbie wasn't sure of how she would ultimately react. He couldn't help but remember how Gabe had reacted, discovering that Robbie and the Ghost Rider were the same person -- in his eyes, at least. Truth didn't matter. The horror on Gabe's face was something that Robbie would never forget. When she finally spoke, he just managed to stop himself letting out an exhale of relief. He wouldn't admit it out loud, but part of him had been expecting a worst case scenario and he wouldn't have been surprised if it had come. After all, he'd fought her, beaten her up badly. She could have dropped him without hesitation and he would have accepted it, because he would have deserved it. His brow furrowed a little, mulling over her question even though he didn't understand the point of it. It was impossible for them to keep the Ghost Rider a secret forever, and he wasn't going to keep the Rider locked up. For one, it wouldn't work long term and two, he didn't want to. "People knew about the Rider in LA. Didn't change a thing," he replied. "And it won't here. You can't expect him -- us to sit around and do nothing. This place is full of asesinos who deserve it. I told you, it's vengeance. And just because you don't like what we do doesn't mean it's wrong." His hands broke apart, his arms dropping down to rest at his sides. "You did the same thing with those Watchdogs. How is that any different?" |
