I dreaded this day, and it hurts just as much as I thought it would.
But you lived a long life, and, most of all, you're with Robert again--that part of yourself you said you've been missing since that equally horrible day in 2016.
Though you're both gone, Napoleon and Illya will live on, always ready to save the day once again.

(1964-1968). Nick-named 'the Blonde Beatle' by fans, the Scottish-born McCallum was a popular teen idol during his years on the show. After The Man from U.N.C.L.E. ended, David went on to star in numerous films and TV series, including a twenty year long role as Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard on the ongoing CBS series NCIS.

These are a few of my favourite things: Pre-Serum Steve Rogers
The serum amplifies everything inside, so good becomes great; bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because the strong man who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows…compassion. Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. You will stay who you are.
