[Jack jerks back, torn between confusion and hurt and anger. What the hell is this?]
[God, and she's calling him 'Jack'. Okay, well, he did ask her to, to be safe. Couldn't be too careful, everyone thought the Angel Program was an AI. Kind of weird for a computer program, even an advanced one, to call him 'dad'.]
[But that was back home. And before those asshole Vault Hunters had ruined everything. The secrecy had flown out the window, then.]
Sweetheart, you...you don't know what you're saying. And you don't have to do that, here. It's not like back home. I realize this is all pretty overwhelming and exciting, I get it, I do! But come on. You're talking crazy!
Look, I know...I let you down. Things got pretty messed up. [By which he means he should have protected her better from the Vault Hunters. He shouldn't have played the long gambit like he had, that had been a mistake. He should have killed them all as soon as there were whispers of taking on the BNKR. Sure, he'd gotten Lilith, but he'd lost Angel in the process. That was on him. He can admit that.]
[But it doesn't matter anymore! She's here, she's fine, they're together again. That's what matters.] But we've got another chance, baby. And I am not letting anyone hurt you ever again.
