To come into the group introduced as a villain labels you. That is what you will become. The future labels you. I can change it, but they'll still be on guard. Like when I just got then off guard, it turns out someone's spying on us through my body. That means I will never get trust until I'm dead--No, shut down, 'cause robotics are electronics, and electronics get shut down. To kill me, you're gonna have to shut me down.
I'm Victorious. You can get big-headed with that name. And I guess I am. Big-headed, that is. Knowing that if everyone dies, I'll be the cause, and that's sorta self-satisfying in some twisted villainous way. And if I'm the cause, I'll still be alive. I'll still be running, with my gears turning.
And if I'm alive, I won't need trust. Or the group, a bunch of runaways that couldn't handle their parents, so they settle for murdering them. At least I didn't kill my mom, like their aim was. They were trying to murder their parents 'cause their aim was to murder everyone else, for a paradise that is a lifelong vacation.
You know, maybe they didn't change my fate. Maybe this is my fate--maybe I'm supposed to be with the Runaways, and one day, I'll still be Victorious. Hell, I am Victorious. This is the path--the path is to kill. I have to kill them all and become the best. I'll take over Los Angeles, and while Spider-Man and the X-Men are trying to kill me, I'll kill them. I'll take over New York. Then I'll canvas the rest of the US, saying, "Hey, people, join me or die." And then I'll have a band of mutants, cyborgs, superheroes, aliens, and whatever they're calling them these days. And… and then we'll take the whole world, defeating armies.
Like Magneto said, "There's a war coming." Right now, I'm Magneto--only, I'm gonna win this time.
