A couple of times I didn't have them at all for a brief while. But... I couldn't stop myself from helping people. It's part of what got me killed. I felt obligated, like that's the whole point of having powers in the first place. I can't stand by and not help, if I can." He looks up at Marty. "I'm not saying everyone should. That's just how I feel about it."
