As Alex watched Booker struggle in Finnick's grasp, his gaze fixated on him… begging, pleading for him to help him out, he couldn't help but ponder on a certain thought.
Would he be considered a hero if he saved this man?
The same person that a moment ago, treated someone the same way he was being treated now?
There was a reason Alex was unwilling to accept Adam's second trial and even though he ended up accepting it, it was because he had no choice.
Since his days back on Earth, Alex had grown wary of the title of hero.
It was because, depending on the person, the definition of a hero could change.
As a decorated special operative, it's natural that his superiors labeled him a hero.
A man that did what he had to to get the job done.
With numerous successes, it would have been easy to accept those accolades but he never found himself able to do so.
Why?
It was because he knew what he had done for those successes to exist.
