As HJ, Riley, and Michael were in the midst of a battle with a group of powerful villains, things took a dangerous turn. One of the villains had severely injured Riley and he was filled with rage and a desire for revenge.

Without thinking, Riley pulled out his weapons and advanced on the villain, ready to end his life. But HJ, seeing the danger in his friend's actions, stepped in and grabbed Riley's arm.

"Riley, no," HJ said, his voice filled with concern. "This isn't who we are. We don't kill."

Riley hesitated for a moment, the anger in his eyes slowly dissipating. And as he lowered his weapons, he knew that HJ was right.

"You're right," Riley said, his voice filled with regret. "I let my anger get the best of me. I'm sorry."

As they stood there, HJ couldn't help but feel grateful for his friend and teammate. He knew that without his intervention, things could have taken a much darker turn. And he knew that as long as they had each other, they could always find the strength to do the right thing.
