[Well. He wasn't expecting that. And this is about the most Bourne's ever said to him ever. For a moment there's just silence on his end.]
[Really, it's more the anger in Bourne's words that makes him hesitate, more than the words themselves. The last time Bourne was angry with him, it ended with him getting throttled. There's a strong part of him that wants to shut off the communicator now while he's ahead, because this can't possibly end well.]
[But he can't pass this up. There's a lot of stuff he's been wanting to say, and Bourne finally gave him the means to say it.]
You're here to help me? That's fucking news to me. How're you helping me? By stalking me? Taking away my powers? Turning me into a rat?
What're you, pissed because how I feel isn't something you can look up in your fucking file? You sit there and call me arrogant for not just asking you shit, but when did you ever have to ask me anything? You didn't, you just got a file handed to you that let you know every fucking thing about me.
That's why I don't ask.
You know, if I don't like you, and you don't like me, why don't you just send me home already? You only wanna 'help me' because there's something in it for you. It's not like you fucking give a shit, hell, Rex probably gives more of a shit than you do. If you've just been waiting until I concede defeat, then fine, you win. Happy now?
