J.K. stands up as well, towering over Kryptonite.
"WHAT? It's sentient, it has free will, it's in control of his actions so it's welcome and shouldn't be destroyed!? And the people it killed didn't have also the right not to be destroyed? Didn't they have friends, a family, a 'mother'? Governments tend to be very nasty?! So it's better to force our own decisions on everyone just because we feel like so?! Governments are made of people who only work for the common good, like my father... oh, go to hell!"
Everyone could notice his voice suddenly break when he mentioned his father, as if he was about to cry. He quickly gathers his stuff and runs out of the café.

The large one has left himself open to emotion, thus emphasizing the benefit of my way of life. Hmm, I had best try to... comfort... him. His claws will be needed in the future.
Again without warning Thomas abruptly stands and leaves, following JK. His expression never changes throughout.
"Both my parents worked for the government, you know. Neither of them are here to talk about it though. Police officers. I am under the impression I know how you feel," Thomas says to JK.
Urgh, going to have to try.
The corners of Thomas' mouth twitch a few times, before finally creating a friendly smile.
Hope its convincing enough.
"There are many different people who work for the government. My assumption is that P1 wiped out a black-ops unit, which would have been comprised of men without families. They lived and expected to die in that occupation. I doubt they were anything like your father," he says at length, painfully maintaining the smile.
Bah! Enough!
The smile disappears.
"Take your time. Come back when you feel better," and with that Thomas returns to the table.

"Well what was I supposed to do? Just sit back and let them kill mother because they work for 'Good People'. Would you let someone kill your mother just because the government told them to?"

Kryptonite's expression is blank as JK yells. As he stomps off, she seats herself.
"Sometimes there is no right answer." Kryptonite says quietly. "He's here now, and even if we decided to send him back - which I am very much against - we wouldn't know where to send him."
She sighs. "Perhaps my comment about governments wasn't so wise... I have my reasons for having made it, but given how little we knew each other, I should have known that someone wouldn't like it."
"Maybe there was a better way, though?" She says to the robot, half-stating and half-asking. "Perhaps you could've simply knocked them out, rather than outright killing them."
"No, that's not how things are done anymore, Lugh." Kryptonite says quietly, no trace of sarcasm or mockery in her voice.

"But if I did that they would have gone after you again, and I might not have been able to stop them a second time. Ensuring mother's safety is the first priority in all actions."
The last sentence was said in a different voice. As if he were repeating his hard-wired programming.
