[ the way his father framed it, it's clear that killing chester dunholtz would have been the lesser evil, the right choice to make, but he's not sure he would have even had the courage to make that decision. when it came down to it, he took a desperate leap of faith. but what if it would have backfired? what if kara hadn't made it in time? all those lives he risked...they weigh on his conscience too. ]
I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have Kara. [ if it happened only a year earlier supergirl wouldn't have been there. or...would kara have come out of hiding for his sake? it wouldn't have mattered, not unless she told him before he was taken, because he wouldn't have known there was hope, that help was coming. that someone other than seriously trigger happy fbi agents was on the case. his voice is laced with emotion, choked up. he feels so guilty over what might have been that it still threatens to tear him apart, all this time later. but that might be because, again, he never allowed himself to talk about it.
he lets out a shaky breath. ]
I'm terrified he'll show up here, Jim. Prison bars mean nothing to the Atroma, they barely mean anything to him.
