How do you know I really can think and don't just pick up on everyone else's thoughts?

you know the guy in bandages? I'm trying to help him come to an understanding with his grandfather who was sent to spy on him.

Well, if you wanted me to, I could scan you.

I am a psychic, anyway. Born that way.

-shrugs- But it doesn't really matter what I think. It's what you think.

Whether you have the confidence to believe yourself to be an individual. Having a name to identify yourself with is a good start, though.

Even if you are made up of the thoughts of others coalescing into one thing- that one thing is different from the individual thoughts. Because alone- those thoughts aren't you. Together they are.

yeah, turns out there's this whole family tree thing. See Chester, the guy with the bandages, is an invisible man, and so was his dad and grandfather on his dad's side if I'm remembering correctly.

but the last two ones were pretty bad guys, so the current invisible man is trying to prove he's a good person. Unfortunately the people on his mom's side of the family aren't super trusting due to one of them having actually been a victim of the first invisible man I believe

-shrugs- Eh. I have my moments.

I'm not the smartest person sometimes.

Ches is smarter than me.

-Said Invisible Ches is in the kitchen-

-with said Grandfather-

-tense, silent cups of tea-

Espionage, science in general, he's usually a lot more logical about things.

Honestly, If I was to peak into his head, about 90% of the time, it's him trying to work out some sort of problem, mathematical or otherwise.

If I put him in front of a documentary on an invention or a piece of scientific history-

He isn't really taking in the information, he's criticizing it, and thinking it over.

Which is why I never ever watch documentaries with him around- it's hard to switch off to it, when I just hear him going "Nope. That's inaccurate" or "They could've done it better like this."

(headtilt) That doesn't make him smarter. You're just smart about something else.

I guess.

Still...

It's hard to explain.

-Ches is still in the kitchen with his cup of tea-

-as is Alistair-

-though it seems they're just at a stand-still-

-as both mugs are empty, with only the feint brown at the bottom that suggests that tea was in fact in those mugs before-

Well, I have no reason to stab him.

If anything, it's convincing him that I don't want to stab him.

Hm. -nods- It's still staring at the image of a murderer. If you were just- visible, it'd be so much easier.

You didn't even accept my father. And he didn't become invisible.

He had a child with another woman when you were one. That- is different.

-sighs- He's right, Alistair.

I can accept that- at least- my father... and grandfather were unfaithful.

And that my predecessors in the legacy of The Invisible Man were murderers and traitors.

But I'm trying to be different and actually help. If it wasn't for me, Lisa Adye would still be on the streets.

And I can link the collapse of several criminal rings to my work.

-grumbles- I don't see proof- and the foundation you gave me a card to- I am sure they would be biased. And all the same- I still have to report back to MI 5 to confirm you're an invisible man. It's my duty.

I can't say how they'll act.

I have a pretty good idea, considering I'm on the watchlist because I'm invisible.

They'll likely try and take him in for questioning, and imprison him for a time before deciding what to do about him.

-his brow can actually be seen through the bandages, furrowing into a hard glare-

I can't let that happen.
