"I don't know what the deal was. She said it would bring you back," Viktor says. He looks up at Luther. "I don't think she knew what Hargreeves did to you. It if was part of the plan, he didn't tell her." Just that much is believable enough. He kept his secrets across all timelines.
And Viktor doesn't know what Allison has done to Luther. Now, he believe she isn't capable, though he should. The rumor that robbed Viktor of his power was set into motion by Hargreeves' instructions to a child that couldn't have understood what their father was asking. The Allison he knows understands that her power is costly. She was leading an honest life.
Or so she thought. Can any of them call their lives honest when they don't even know how or why they exist in the first place?
Seeing Luther's hands trembling like his own, hearing his call back to what they have to believe is the present bolsters Viktor's courage. He nods, swallowing all of the fear and confusion and tucks his hand into Luther's.
"Yeah, you're right." It looks like he's not quite around to fully believing it, but having Luther here, remembering the same things that Viktor does makes him sure that they will find their footing. He rests his head against Luther's shoulder between them.
