"Get Dox out in one piece? Yeah, that's the plan." Cortana can't help but snort in dry amusement. She does a lot of saving Brainy 5, pal.
She pauses and considers her options. The AI is powerful, even awe-inspiring, woven through reality in a way she's forced to admit she can't fully understand, but its hatred still pulses like a heartbeat, and she can't know where it will turn its attentions once the crisis is past. Before she came, the Legion had faced a similar decision, and many have paid for their choice to let the Spectre free under similarly dire circumstances...yet even as she makes the comparison, Cortana dismisses it as a false equivalence. The Spectre has never once called for kindness when vengeance was on the table.
In theory, she should discuss it with the rest of the team. In practice, the virtual eternity they'll spend debating the issue is time they and the universe can't spare.

"I can let you out. Will you help?"
