I'm not, Robbie. Not when you think about some of the places I got it from. Part of it's just me, but part of it's what everyone taught me through the years.

"With great power comes great responsibility" wasn't exactly something I thought about on my own before I heard it from Spidey. And I remember always seeing how Cap used to be and wanting to be that way. And seeing Thor always try to fight with honor and protect the small. And seeing the Fantastic Four always being willing to lend a hand to other heroes that needed it.

And then there was the team, and everything you all taught me, too. I took it all up there with me. Even the times I'm on my own, it's all there.

[It had all made an impression on him, especially when he used to have such an ego. Other heroes were the example, and when he was pushed, when he had to finally grow up, he tried to turn himself into something similar. Something as good as all the people he knew were good.]

I think, if I do make it out of this, maybe it's time to go back. There'll always be places I'm needed off Earth, and things I have to do in space to keep Earth safe, but I don't need to be up there all the time.

I'm tired of being away from the people I care about and I'm tired of everything going to hell and only finding out after the fact, when I could've helped.
