❝Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you forever in me
Ever the same❞

Swallowing back a choke, he managed to whisper into his ears, "It's okay, England. The hero has come."

Yeah, isn't being a hero what he is supposed to be, must be? His hero, that is.

And that was what he was going to do, he decided; teach the bad guys a lesson.
