2/2 It's complicated, but I promise it's the best place for Fitz right now. It's only a temporary solution. Believe me, I want him out as soon as I can have him.
The thing is, Dr. Fitz isn't just a Hellburbia creation. He's an alter ego of sorts, and it is he who plotted with Barbas to reinstate Hellburbia. Again, it's something of a complex story but it's an artifact from our world. The worst Fitz is guilty of is some [She pauses for a long moment, searching for the right phrasing.] questionable decisions that were still for what he believes were noble reasons.
[Which is a really nice way to say "my husband is an idiot, sometimes."]
