[ Ben wants nothing more than for Five to give Viktor the benefit of a doubt. Don't they all deserve that? Especially after their childhoods? ]

Not his fault, Five. I'll tell you the same thing I told him.

Dad kept him from his using his powers. Kept him from learning about them, how to control them. That's why these situation keep happening. He needs that freedom to work with them to learn the control the rest of us have.
