   Summary

   They’re doing the same thing, fighting the same fight. It was easier when he was dealing with Ross, when his former gang members were just dark shadows, or faraway enemies standing behind insurmountable defenses. But now? He sees the same look in Javier’s eye as he sees in himself. And he’s so tired.
