-----

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do

He couldn't think of what to say to them. He had hurt them. Now he felt he couldn't face them anymore.

But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you

Sure, he didn't mean them. He wasn't himself. But he still did it. He felt guilt seeping inside him for the first time, making the parting even harder. Being human was hard.

And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

They were his family. He loved them more than anything.

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

Yes, he did. How they stood by his side all the time when he fell, forgave his shortcomings, helped him when he couldn't take the hardships anymore.

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through

The horror of the Coluan digitization process. He did it. Tears dripped from his eyes. He caught them in his palm, cupping them carefully as if they were some sort of precious piece of information. Thoughts…..haunted him…

Almost killing Superman..his best friend..

Slamming Vi into the wall..

Injuring Cham in the simulation chamber…


I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

He had hurt them..badly..

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

Yet they had forgiven him. Why?

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

Nobody is perfect. He knew that. He was the most imperfect of them all. Now an outcast.

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

But they understood more than anyone else.
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know

Because of them, he had felt more like a human, not an android. Now, that he was human, he understood all that they felt towards him.

A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

"Goodbye", he breathed softly as he stared at them gathered…true heroes, true family. His family. Now he could start over.
