Quotes[]
Hnh. Your anger at my offer isn't entirely unexpected, Bloodshot. After all, you haven't had a particularly good run working with anyone, really. From Project Rising Spirit to bloody X-O Manowar and his Machiavellian watchmen... Everyone's taken advantage of you and your invincible body in the end. All of them exploited the fact that just by existing as a fusion of of flesh and machine, you're inherently dangerous and uniquely difficult to defend against. And who am I really? Just another stranger saving you from the new world order army, serving you protein to heal your extensive wounds...and promising not to stab you in the back.
- -- Agent Nix
- I'll take that as a yes. You say you're so sick and tired of being used that you just want to be left alone completely. But if that were entirely true, you'd seal yourself in concrete and drop yourself into the Marianas Trench. What you actually want is to direct your own destiny. To use your nanites and indestructible form to find justice you believe in.
- -- Agent Nix
- Gèng duō guài wu!
- This works alright, but I'd have preferred a pale, grumpy man-table.
- -- Agent Nix
- Hngh. Keep it up and I'll forget to tell the nanites to stop the bullets from coming out--ghk--the other side.
- -- Bloodshot
- Hnh. It's...it's time. I am burned. Live as nothing. Leave nothing.
- -- Agent Cant
- Yes, love. Live as nothing. Leave nothing. You are burned.
- -- Agent Nix
- Brilliant first mission, you chose. Absolutely bloody brilliant.
- -- Agent Nix
- Go on then, would you? This son of a bitch little creep will be right behind you.
- -- Agent Nix
