"I don't think we were there to keep any sheep safe." He shook his head, looking less than pleased by the mere thought of what the Dollhouse had tried to do to him. They could have turned him into the literal definition of a robot. If it hadn't been for Echo and Priya, he'd be a lost soldier by now. One sucked into the trap of a company with nothing in mind but control. Control of the future, control of humanity, control of everything. It was why they had been thrown into the Attic. It was why he had been turned into some super soldier that they were going to use against anyone who dared defy them and their self-centered, fucked up cause. No good would have come out of where he had been from. None at all. "The people who did that to me? To us? They wanted power and control. It's why I had to escape from that mess as quick as I could. Had some help doing it..." He frowned a little. Tony couldn't help but wonder what the others were up to now. Had they noticed he was gone? Did they think he was dead? "Point is, I got outta there. And it's a good thing I did. I think it's great that you were...helping people?" He looked over at Shay, somewhat uncertainly. She seemed proud of what she was doing, so he decided that she must have been. The good helping. Not the bad, brainwashed kind. "If that's what you wanted to do, I mean. There's nothin' worse than being forced to do something against your will." Even if one signed a contract for it. But then again, it was the best and quickest way to get away from it all.
"Why do they steal kids away?" He didn't exactly see any positive reasoning for that. No one in their right mind with good intentions ever screwed around with kids. That was why, from what he'd heard from some of the other guys in the army, those people who ended up in prison that had raped and murdered kids always got it the worst. Even other murderers and such had little toleration for jackasses who messed with kids. It must have been a common thing among most people, because he knew he felt the exact same way. You just didn't mess with kids. "And what the hell is a firebug?"
