Burton watched silently as the team emerged from the anomaly, from his mistake. He'd been too obsessed, too full of his own ego to see the disaster he'd made. Oh, Helen had manipulated him into following her plans, but it had been his obsession with Connor that had allowed her to do so.

He saw clearly now, all the mistakes he'd made, people he'd hurt and now he'd destroyed the world. Not the epithet he'd wanted.

He glanced at the readings and smiled. Maybe... it might work. At least, he could try to fix his mistakes – or some of them.

Uh-oh.
When Burton starts thinking, bad things happen :D

Very good.

**shakes head** The road to hell is paved with good intentions, Phillip. *g*

Good for you, Burton. I hope it's not too late, though.

Nice Drabble! I hope Philip did manage to set things right in the end.

I'm not convinced this will end well.

Hmm, can a leopard change its spots? Intriguing drabble!

[kristen-mara.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, just what is he going to try to change?... Just give them an apology and help, Phil! Oh, and flowers

[cordeliadelayne]

Sounds like he's up to something again!

[fredbassett]

I hope Philip can manage to make good!

I felt bad for Burton right up until the last sentence. It sounds like he's about to stir up trouble again.

Helen is very persuasive. But now Philip - hopefully! - Philip has a chance to put right his mistakes. (Although he still can't have Connor.)

Good to see that Burton has opened his eyes, but not sure the fixing is going to end well O_O

New Dawn wasn't actually that bad an idea - just very badly executed!
