It was an inside job, Reinhardt. The UN. I'm trying to find out who did this to us!
[This time he does raise his voice, lips curling into a snarl. Jack knows he ran, but it's not for the reasons that Reinhardt thinks. If there's one good thing about being dead in the public eye, it's that he's in the perfect position to uncover what really happened.
Tilting at windmills as Reinhardt seems wont to do might feel productive, but Jack knows it's not going to accomplish anything, not until they get to the root of what went wrong. He'd expected stubborn--he doesn't think he was prepared for obtuse. ]
You don't--all of you playing hero like idiots is exactly what they're after. Thinking you're saving the world, too wrapped up in your own goddamn ego to notice we were set up to fail.
[The world doesn't want to be saved, and Jack isn't sure that Overwatch should have been the executive authority on how to do it. Bunch of super soldiers and cyborgs and geniuses and time travelers and a moon gorilla looking down on a human race pulling itself from the brink of apocalypse, and telling them what's best for them.
He takes a moment to breathe, and when he speaks again it's low, dangerous.]
