In theory, sure, Gregor could still go home. Pack up his three-year-old sister, Boots, get his mom out of the hospital, where she was recovering from the plague, and have his bat, Ares, fly them back up to the laudry room of their appartment building in New York City. Ares, his bond, who saved his life numerous times and who had had nothing but suffering since he had met Gregor. He tried to imagine the parting. "Well, Ares, it's been great. I'm heading home now. I know by leaving I'm completely dooming to annihilation everbody who's helped me down here, but I'm really not up for this whole war thing anymore. So, fly you high, you know?" Like that would ever happen. Suzanne Collins
About This Quote

Gregor is talking about the possibility of returning home to his family after his time at the Laudry Room. However, this would later turn into a nightmare. His family would be taken by another plague and therefore he would be forced to continue on without them. He is also imagining that Ares would just fly him back up to his old apartment building, but he still thinks of Ares as his bond, who saved him numerous times, who was suffering just like him, and had no memory of him.
