"I don't care if I go, I'm going to make sure Mark and the kids go. I can hang back, I can deal. Worst comes to worst, as long as they're okay, I can handle Zoom." Yes, he was bad at this but he could deal with the idea of coping just a little longer so he could save the ones he loved. They'd be okay without him, he knew that.

"If I just have to do one job with Reverb and that'll prove loyalty then I'll do it and do it well but I can't keep doing this, I'm not made out for it. Somethings going to give and when it does, I don't think I'm going to live through it."

Axel shrugged his shoulders. He would have loved to be more positive but given Zoom killed his henchmen without thinking, Axel had no delusions.
