He does what he wants but the death of his sister has caused him to adjust what he wants. He has the all male "I can kick your ass" attitude down and in his case is very true. Might just be the only weapon he can't defeat. But here's the deal, Serena doesn't put up with his attitude despite the fact that he can or may kill her. ![]() You really don't want to piss Hunter off. ![]() So when the DOD put him on babysitting duty, he's pissed off.
