013 ♐ Video ♐ I'm writing this letter and wishing you well; Mama, we all go to hell

[Archer's been thinking. Running around teasing the flooded passengers was a good distraction, but his talk with Rogue has stuck in his mind. So this time he looks a bit more somber, although no more sober than usual. He's sitting on his bed, tie undone, sipping a gin and tonic with Kazak sprawled out behind him.]

Hey, I just have a question.

Is it uh - shit. [He falters, uncharacteristic for him.] Is it normal to hate your mother?

Well, whatever, you're a secret agent! You don't need any of em. I only met mine the once, didn't make that much of a difference.

Well he was pretty convinced we all wanted to bed our mothers. I suppose you could argue that sex and hate aren't exclusive but... [He grimaces] The whole theory is rancid enough already.

I believe that. [He actually does, too. It's very easy to tell when Archer means what he says, even if your hearing is muted.]

...Is your mother on board now?

No, shit!

[He takes a moment to think about the rest of it.]

If you want to kill her, I won't stop you. I did everything I could think of to make sure she couldn't hurt anyone else but...

She's just normal. She doesn't even have her weather powers anymore.

I didn't mean like that. I meant you don't need anything special to kill her.

I'm the last person to know what's normal for 'ow to feel about parents, love. Does it matter? She didn't love you right or treat you right. That's good enough, in my book.

She's human. Of course you don't.

That's a pretty good reason to hate her. [ But, uh... ] What makes you think Woodhouse isn't human?

Then tell me how. Tell me why you hate her, and why you don't.

[She's quiet for a moment. Uther treated her better than that, in his good years - if they can be called that. He threw grandiose parties for her birthday, he was relatively available for her to argue with or ask questions of.

She loved him like a father, sometimes, before she knew he was her father. All the same.]


She sounds like a terrible mother.
