“I know it doesn’t look like Harris is much, but here’s some hard facts. An’ truth to tell, it’s not something I much think about. Maybe if I did, we wouldn’t be in the straits we’re in now,” Spike says with a grimace. “When things get broken, someone’s got to clean up the bloody mess. It’s an unpleasant reality, and it’s one that every superhero tends to forget. But when it’s all over but the shoutin’, you need that one person who’s willing to roll up the shirt sleeves and fix it. Not too many people want to do it. Fewer actually can, and that’s even if they’re willin’ to give it a shot. But there are times when the people who are willin’ to mop up the blood and can fix whatever’s broken are the most important people on any Round Table. And then there are times, like these times we’re livin’ through ’ere, when they’re the only people in the world worth a damn. That’s when you go through seven kinds of hell, nine kinds of holy water, and scale every sacred mountaintop to make sure they stay safe. All because they’re not only willin’ to put it right, they’re the only ones who can.”
