It's called love.

Rip! Look at me, Rip. [sighs] Please don't be mad at me.
Oh, no, I'm not mad at you! I... I was going to resign.
I know and I couldn't let you. This has always been your dream.
Yes, but you are so much better at this than me. I... I can't understand why you would... why you'd give all that up.
It's funny, because you're the one who made me realize that I could never be a Time Master. I found something with you, something wonderful. I found love. That thing that the Time Masters always taught us to hide from, but they were wrong, Rip. Love's no threat. It's beautiful, and powerful, and once you know it, love changes everything. Like it changed me and that's why I have to resign, because I could never belong to something that turns its back on the truth.
Suddenly my chosen profession seems so terribly unimportant.
No. The world needs the Time Masters and the Time Masters, most assuredly, need Rip Hunter.
[groans]
My only wish is that one day, when you're off traveling space and time, you'll realize what I have, and understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. I hope you think of me when that day comes.
I will... because I'll be with you.
