[There's a lot of things Rex could say to that, many of which aren't really all that nice. But what's the point? The only thing that matters is making sure the Caesar they know doesn't become the Caesar of the present in Rex's timeline. ...who in some ways could be what Dib might become if his behavior doesn't shift accordingly.]

He's the only blood related family I've got left. The only one alive who remembers what my whole childhood was like...and what Rafael and Violetta Salazar were like as parents, not just as scientists.

[He sighs.]

But...he's not just my brother. That's not all of who he is... He's made his own choices to be other things, too.

And as long as what he's doing isn't dangerous, it's not my place to tell him what he can or can't be.

[Rex shifts his gaze toward Dib.]






...I'll bring him back to you.
