You're not hearing me. There's nothing to start. I'm never gonna be some great hero, okay. I'm never gonna be strong enough they can't get rid of me. They've got those people. And I ain't a genius, either. I ain't Tony Stark. I'm not ever gonna be building 'em the best weapons or coming up with strategies or... or whatever! Without the meth, I'm on the chopping block, you understand? Nobody needs me anywhere but the lab. I'm the best chemist in the world and that is it. You put me anywhere else and I'm useless, I'm expendable, I got no leverage. I couldn't even survive in the regular world without that. What am I supposed to do here, where people just disappear once they get used up? If I stop being worth their investment, I am gone.

Yeah well, you have some people watching your back just in case they did decide to disappear you, and do you think they'd just say nothing if you suspiciously disappeared?
