Why yes, yes he does :) He is one fo the first Millenium City vigilantes he ever heard of, and is kind of an exemplar to him. (Not that he admits that)

"I don't know if I'd kill him! I don't know if I was ever right! I don't know if I am any better than a murderer!"
Ecto stared at Wraith with ghastly, glowing eyes. She seemed really distressed, even confused. Is it possible that she never knew better than to think about this? Is she really grasping the consequences of her actions just now? She looked like she was struggling with the idea that she might not be as good as she thought.
Then again, it COULD be just an act...
"If what I did was wrong, if none of them deserved it, then I really am a monster, you know?" Wraith looked away, not being able to look Ecto in the eyes. She seemed so heart-wrenchingly miserable, so helpless, that Omega and Tank started comforting her.
"...you’re not a monster."
"...we all are willing to have your back in some form or another."
Ecto's eyes widened, seeing how quick the others were to come to her help. Yeah, sure, Tank is not known for caution - not that he needs it -, but Omega's response suprised him. If they are willing to give her a chance, well... we ARE supposed to make a better world. And helping someone misguided is worth giving a shot.
"Look, I... we all know that things didn't go exactly as planned, and that nobody wanted this whole mess. And it's not that I got wounded - which hurt like mega hell by the way, not the point, so... Of course you could not have known that I get the same injuries as the one I'm posessing." He glanced at Raven Tale. "Aaaand yeah, shifting back takes a second and I'm kinda vulnerable in the process. I'm also quite possibly not invincible when it comes to magic or elemental stuff, especially air." He thought about Graffiti. If Umbra gets his shadowy hands on her... that could mean trouble.
"Anyway, I'm ranting. What I meant was... Nobody questions that you were trying to do good, it's just that... what Ditch said. You gotta stop. This. Shit. Okay? And if she and Omega says that you are okay, then, I guess... I trust their judgement. So as far as I'm concerned, we're good." - He really, really hoped that Wraith was not playing them.
"And you owe me like, a pizza or something."

Oh and by the way, how are we going to handle losing Black Rose and Gorgon Eyes? And Graffiti? Are we going to address that? Or just... ignore it?
“Wait, you mean -- shit, Ecto, are you alright?”
Ecto slowly looked up to Ditch. Of course, she couldn't have known, she was busy with Walker, and they fell thorugh the wall. Maybe they really didn't see, or didn't expect...
"Yeah, I'm better, thanks to Raven." He gave a feeble smile towards Raven tale. "I just need a bit of time, this should go away in a day, I think. Thanks for asking, though." He gave a feeble smile to her.
Ditch explained how the mission went - not good - and then turned to Wraith.
"I can forgive you. If Ecto does." - he frowned thought about some choice words, he heard Raven Tale's voice.
"You spoke of how you refused to fight me, how you would not harm a team mate. Yet you could have very well almost ended Ecto's life. You would make no sense unless you didn't know." True Wraith did seem a bit shaken by what happened. Maybe it's being bashed in the face... or maybe Raven's right.
He stared at the wall on his left, took a deep breath, and started speaking.
"A few days ago, when we first met up here, while on my way here, I noticed a guy trying to jack a car. He was a young dude, maybe not even twenty. Just a stupid kid who thought he could get a nice car to get chicks, or maybe sell it on the black market. I snuck up to him and gave him a good scare. Aaand it's possible that one of his hands got broken in the process.
Now I'm not saying that this night could turn his life around, but he certainly won't be stealing cars in the future, and while his hand heals, he has time to think." - Ecto stood up, and turned his head to Wraith. - "Tell me, would you have killed him?" - he walked up to her.
"I'm trying REALLY HARD to understand you. To get what's going on in your head. But I'm no telepath, and can only hope that you are better than a serial killer. I do believe that what happened was unintentional, I was there. But I need to know that you are not a monster like the ones we are trying to bring down. Don't break my heart, Wraith. Not AGAIN. '

@Blazion@CloseEnough Glad you like it :)
“Well, you were there, Raven, when Graffiti attacked Rose." What? Why would she do that?
"During that I had managed to catch Walker, but Ditch decided to let him go...told me she’d explain.” What. The. Shit.
"She... she got kicked out?" - he asked, but there was no answer. Omega was deep in thought.
That's great. Yeah, really great. Wraith pulls out my insides and nobody gives a second glance, while Graffiti gets demonized for getting in a fight with Black Rose. Is this how we roll now?
But why did they jump at each other...?
"So many problems in such a short time." Raven sighed.
"You can say that again. What was that all about?"
“We just -- we gotta get back to HQ. I’ll explain everything, really, everything..”
"EVERYTHING? Okay. Alright. Great. Then let's go, because we really gotta talk about this crap. - he was getting really angry, feeling shoved aside and left in the dark.
"Than I'll see you there, Ecto, Wraith, are you two well enough to travel alone?"
"Thanks Raven, but I think I'll go alone, I need to clear my head." Then he stormed off.
God dammit, I screwed up! I was completely useless! ... and I shouldn't have been rude to Raven. His side still hurt with burning pain, but Ecto was way too upset and guilty to care about it. Raven Tale has been nothing but helpful and comforting. She actually reminded him of an elf, or a sorcerer out of a fairy tale, bedtime stories he heard from his father when he was a child. He used to love those... And he was very grateful for what was most likely saving his life. I need to thank her someway.
He was furious when his thoughts wondered to Wraith. What the hell is wrong with her? She was like oh Ecto is in the way but who cares I need to murder something. Does she find the idea of not killing someone SO unbearable? Does she do this all the time? Are we working with a serial killer psycho? Or was this just a scare tactic? If it was, it was really crappy.
But then why would Ditch invite her to the team if she wasn't reliable? Then again, Graffiti was invited as well. Graffiti... I wonder what happened. Won't she be in danger alone? I really need to talk to Ditch about this. AGH, Screw this! I really hope this was worth getting eviscerated.
He eventually reached the Warehouse and slipped in from the topside window. Some of the others were already waiting there. He took his place on the side, folded his arms, crossed his legs, and brooded quietly while waiting for everyone to finally arrive.
“… I’m guessing things didn’t go well on the other side?” - Reaper asked in a slightly sarcastic tone.
"I guess you could say that we were... torn apart from the inside." - he would have actually found this funny, if he was in the mood. But he really wasn't.

"I guess you could say that we were... torn apart from the inside." - he would have actually found this funny, if he was in the mood. But he really wasn't.
"Wait, you... you're blind?" - Ecto paused mid-sentence, but no longer because of the pain, but suprise. Now THAT'S a reveal. Can't imagine how she manages to take on the vigilante role with such a huge disadvantage.
Then realized he might have said it out too loud. After all he JUST asked Raven Tale to keep his secret, and Ecto just shouts hers out for the world to hear. "Sorry, I didn't mean-" -he noticed a figure leaving the building in a hurry. It was Graffiti.
"Hey, what's going on?" He stood up and straghtened himself, putting his hand over his wound, which was slowly, but steadily, closing. Graffiti was visibly upset, she didn't even look back or even acknowledge what he said, just grabbed two of her cans and bolted away to the sky. What was that?
His eyes settled on Wraith. She was quite disoriented after that puch Walker gave her, and stumbled in the direction of the house. Ecto's mood darkened. She nearly killed me! And for what?! Crazy son of a... daughter of a? Not the point, she almost killed me!
"Wraith, what the hell is wro-" This time, it was Ditch who came out rushing the door, eyes and hands glowing with brilliant white light, panic written all over her face. She raised her hands towards the next building and with a huge flash of light, blew it the hell up. Then, the glowing stopped.
“Walker’s gone, this mission is over." Her voice was shaking. What the hell was that? Seriously, what is going on? I have so many questions!
Ditch took a step, fell against the wall, and mumbled something before collapsing.
It was Omega's turn to rush out the building. He picked up Ditch, took her in his arms and asked the others to follow him into the building, as to avoid any prying eyes. Ecto scratched his head, sighed, and slowly floated after him.
"Someone, please, explain what happened while we were separated." he heard Raven Tale speak next to him.
"And I thought I was the only one confused."

The phoenix cried. It CRIED. How sad is that? Teardrops fell on Eric's body as the he lay on the floor naked. A burning sensation hit his side, something very similar to his healing abilities. The numbing pain slowly started to clear from his mind, and when he looked down, he could see his wounds closing.
"Hey, that... is amazing, Than-" - The birl looked at him, then suddenly raised his head, flapped it's wings and in an instant, disappeared.
"Was it... something I said?"
"Sorry, he's sometimes not keen on the idea of companionship anymore." Raven Tale put her clothes back on and sighed. There was something very soothing in the way she acted, a calm, unearthly aura that seemingly surrounded her. That, and the fact that she very likely saved Eric's life.
"How are you feeling?"
Eric shifted back to spectral form and waited a bit. Alright, this should not be worse now than a knife wound... and I had those before.
"I can handle it from here. It will take some time, but I'll be fine." He slowly stood up, and touched Raven Tale's arm.
"Thank you, Raven, I really owe you one." - he said sincerely, then got embarrassed and scratched his head. "Listen, could you please not tell the others that you saw me? Not just, you know, under the belt and all... but... who I really am? I'm not sure I'm ready for sharing that with everyone."
