On the mun's readthrough of the Clone Saga

[unobtainableredemption]

Hey, do us both a favor and leave my past where it is. There's nothing I want to relive there.

I don't care what Aracely thinks, thinking of Reilly doesn't make me want to be a better man, it just reminds me of what a monster I was...

am.

Like I said, I owe a lot to Murdock, and someone had to continue his work. All of it. Not just the stuff he did in the shadows. Besides, if I can keep just one innocent person away from jail, then...

[ Reilly shakes his head. Now's not the time to talk about his mother. Even though part of him is dying to ask Kaine about Elizabeth, desperate to see if maybe this clone could tell him a little more about the woman he never knew. Now's the time to... well, do his job. In a manner of speaking. So he puts on his best Lawyer Voice and says to the other Parker: ]

Forget that. The important thing is that Osborn's a good man. Or— he's trying to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm not his biggest fan-- [ Especially when he remembers how Normie, oh, skewered him. ] But Spider-Girl trusts him. He's had her back for a long time. Tried to make Oscorp into something useful for a change. Even fought with old Norman, the way I hear it... and well, I can't help but be a little forgiving towards anyone who's willing to hurt that creep.

What, did Murdock jump in front of a train to save you or something?

[It was the only thing that made sense to him, the way he continued to bring Daredevil up again and again. It wasn't like the Parker's were especially close to Murdock, though he knew Peter considered him a friend. Thankfully, Reilly kept talking and helped derail Kaine from that particular line of thought.]

Really? You're trying to sell me on the kid? I'm glad you have such a low opinion of me that you think I'm going to go preemptively attack a grade schooler. I don't know about the version of me you're used to, but I don't do that. Never did. [Not children, anyway... Everyone else was pretty fair game as the height of his insanity, though... it all made sense at the time.

He pulls the mask out his back pocket and holds it out for Reilly to see.] Besides, I've been trying something new.
