when you become a memory you can never lose a fight

JACK

"It ain't like that," Jack says evenly, "it's playin' for equal measures. You tell everyone what I can do and I lose everythin'. I retaliate against you and I also lose everythin' - you call in the cavalry like you already threatened, you get Caido's Justice League superheroes all lined up to take a shot at me, and you tell everyone my secret anyway." He spreads his hands. "This is a proposal, ain't it? Unless I misread your letter an' it's just blackmail in a pretty sundress." He raises his eyebrows.

"So unless you can convince me that there's somethin' else you're willin' to part with by askin' for more, I don't agree to that, no." Shaking his head, Jack sits back in his seat. "I appreciate your moxie, don't get me wrong, but I ain't signin' an agreement that's stacked against me." Unless of course, this is blackmail after all.
