Well, as ya'll heard, Sterling Archer graduated. [So very proud!] So that put me in a place of decidin'. And Ah'm gonna be headin' out here too. Gonna visit his world, actually meet his people. [Punch Malory in the face.] Then stop by and see another friend like Ah promised, then Ah'm gonna head home.

This place has been an adventure ta say the least. Met a lot of great people, on both sides of the line. Ah'd stay on but Ah think that would be me hidin' out. There's somethin' Ah gotta face back home, and Ah think Ah'm ready ta do that.

Ah may not miss the place, but Ah'll definitely miss the people. Try ta find some happiness, where ya can.

[Private to Elsa, Dillion, and Jean]

So Ah wanna recommend ta both of ya that Jean take over helpin' with yer powers. She's got as much experience in that sort of thing as Ah do. She's a great teacher too.

[A loving wink to Jean.]

She'll steer ya right.

[Private to Arthas]

Hey, so Ah don't want ta leave ya high and dry. Ah know someone that Ah think can take over where we leave off. She's good at this.

[Now the hard part.]

She's also a psychic. Jean Grey.

Sounds like you deserve some congratulations.

It was nice to meet you, Rogue.

[Say hi to the other him for him?]

[la_belle_rogue]

Nah, the congratulations go ta Archer. He's the one that did all the work. Ah was just there ta support him.

[And that's exactly what he'd needed. Support. Genuine interest and someone who truly gave a damn.]

It's always a pleasure, Captain.

[If it comes up and isn't awkward? You bet.]

[punched_hitler]

He definitely deserves them, too. But he didn't do it alone.

[Support is an important position. And often the unsung heroes, right?]

That's good to hear.

[Hey, at least it means the other him is an okay guy, too. That's reassuring.] You take care of yourself back home - and enjoy your trip.
