Who really were you?

[He hadn't been able to have a ringside seat for it, but Roy'd still gotten to hear the truth about Chimera and its "leader", Edel Bernal.]

Three little words and some freakazoid could make you do whatever he wanted...  Lady, you were nutso beyond nutso, but like... how much of that was really you?  Would you have done all that crap if you'd known the truth?

... 'Course you got blown away by Mr. Lovey-Dovey, so we're never gonna know.  Maybe you wouldda been just as bad, or even worse 'cuz you'd have somethin' to prove.  But maybe things could've been different...

We never really got to know the real Edel Bernal. Even when we met with her in person...

Do you think if the circumstances - everything, if it was different. Could she and Chimera have been a force of good?

[pulledplug]

I dunno. She could make one heck of a speech... get a lot of people eating out of her hand even.

If she'd just been legit about stuff... maybe. Like, there's a bazillion other universes out there based on all that Sphere talk, right? Maybe there's at least one where there's a good Edel who got to make her own decisions.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. The odds are for it after all.

But it also means, there's a bad Unity Group somewhere out there. Probably.

... Holy cow.

[He just realized something quite severe.]

What if we'd been replaced by those guys! Everything would've sucked!
