As soon as he hears the sound of a knock at the door, he realizes that it's the cold-toxin attack. He realizes that even though he's eradicated all of his powers, his body still has the ability to suppress the toxin. He asks if this is the same thing that he used against him 10 years ago, when he was left in the cave to die. He wonders if he'll be able to save him now that he has absorbed the toxin into his body.
