Tim's reaction causes Ilya's chest to seize, and he reaches out to draw the clone into a warm hug - even if he resists.
"Tim, you are absolutely wonderful just the way you are. You are a sweet soul who's been put through an awful thing, and you just happen to be so innocent and kind spirited that you don't even notice. You are not unnatural and wrong - what they did to you is what was so unnatural and wrong. At the same time, if they had never done what they did, then you wouldn't be here right now. I don't approve of the suffering that they put you through and the suffering that you are going to experience from the way that some scientists mixed you up in a lab and then turned you loose. In the same breath though, I will say that I care very much for you and that I can not imagine my life now without you in it. I am upset at your misfortune because I care."
He then smiles, looking away a bit shyly as he says "Anyways, you do have a family, now. You have the team and all the other Titans, but you also have me and my family is now your family. Maybe we should find you a name, as well. Just Tim isn't nearly as powerful of a name as you deserve."
