[Peter's honestly taken back by the change in Flynn's tone, the look on his face--it's different, familiar in the way he's seen him rage before but it's also different, of a different level, and instinctively, something cold drops in his stomach and he doesn't like it--

--this is Flynn, the Flynn he was trying to get back to and failed, a Flynn he thought had been basically dead and lost to the ether of the multiverse, but he was back and he should be happy--

--and instead he's ruined everything. Peter glances up at Ezekiel, he can sense his and his life force even without looking at him, but he's hit with the guilt that 'maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all'.

But then Ezekiel did destroy his connection to his planets and the guilt disappears under the familiar comfort of despair and rage.]

...I'd like to see you try, I really would. You're not him, buddy. You don't have what it takes.

Besides, he's my new friend. You know what happens to people when they try to rescue them from me, don't you?

[He regrets the words instantly the moment he says them.]
