[ Jack should just know by now that Reinhardt will always give him that support. Because honestly, that promise should have ended the second that Morrison had signed off on his retirement papers and told him to get his things and go. But even that, Reinhardt can forgive. Jack's hands had been tied. Neither of them had had a choice once the UN had passed that decision down. ]
My promises aren't like milk, Jack. They do not spoil and they do not age and they certainly do not expire. While you are right that I owe you nothing, I did not owe you when I made that promise either. It's not about owing anyone anything. It's about standing by a friend in need. You are a friend. You were in need. That's all I needed to know and I will continue for as long as I draw breath.
