[Guy really is a good storyteller. Jason can say that much about him at least. Plus, for better or for worse, love can be a hell of a motivator for anyone. It's not hard to imagine someone willing to straddle between two sides for it. He's certainly guilty of it too. How much did he do for his adoptive father as a child? And then there was the agonizing pain when he learned Bruce didn't avenge his death after all. Heh. Love will make you do a lot of wild things.

The Alliance believes in the appearance of doing good. They see nothing wrong with doing small things like stopping a purse snatcher and rescuing kittens stuck up in trees. Everyone eats up those kinds of stories. Makes the Alliance looks good.
But be careful if you question them too much. They like control too. They care more about how they look than doing long-term good. There's something else you need to know about their leadership too.
