[ Five's expression twists as Ben describes what happened to him. It feels like Viktor's powers were to blame, like he's assumed they were during the first apocalypse. Every time he tries to think about it, the headaches force him to stop, so he knows that he hadn't heard this story before.
Ben made a choice. He was already dead, but this was his final act. He'd like to give Viktor the benefit of the doubt, it's just that he doesn't know him. He remembers the bomb dropping before he disappeared with Hazel, but there's too many holes around what triggered it.
They've been jumping from one crisis to the next the entire time he's been here so he's managed to keep his obsessions in check, but that's a lot more difficult now that he has Ben standing next to him, alive and well despite everything. He risks prodding him. ]
And if you hadn't, he would have triggered a nuclear war. It's always him.
