-starts to stand up, still holding the grenade with a manic grin on his face-
-his eyes wide and focused- Oh- yes... I knew of my lineage. I wanted the power of invisibility... but it was denied to me. I tried so hard to recreate it. But here I am- in the flesh, and not wholly invisible...
And all of this would have been different if he hadn't found the invisibility formula... I was hopeful at first- but then it stopped- right at this moment. Right at the moment that men would write horror stories about.
And- I was horrified at my reflection- why wouldn't it continue to disappear? What had I done wrong? But then I realized- this whole legacy was wrong... and I was offered a chance to destroy it along with a grander conspiracy. I became a Templar. They told me about your cabal, Griffin. How you were still alive... the original inventor. Living on with stubbornness thanks to a fountain of eternal youth...
... There's been a mistake here. -Griffin started to sound nervous-
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post-Griffin is frozen in place, not knowing what to say to either of them-
What's wrong, Griffin? Won't tell them about how you're a villain?
Won't tell them that the Fountain Cabal has among it's members Jack The Ripper? Or how many of them co-operated with the Nazis?
-laughs a little bit- We thought you were dead when WW 2 ended. By- we, I mean the Templars. The fountain destroyed! The conspiracy ended but...
Here we are. The fountain persists. And you're one of its' founders, Griffin.
Why don't you- tell them both. Tell them both that I am right?
Tell them about how your society led a nobody bank robber, injured in an explosion- to the highest heights of organized crime?

...You know, that little lecture means nothing to me, since I didn't really pay attention to Anno Domini records.
...You clearly have no idea where I come from, Raut. Or when.

"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."-to Michael- Oh that's good, Mr Michael from the future.
But I'll just- leave this for you here. -he under-hand throws the grenade to Griffin-
-it rolls to the feet of Griffin and Liman-
-Griffin snaps out of his dazed and frozen position-
-picking up Liman with his arms and throwing her to Michael-
Catch!
-having no time to move off of the grenade at his feet-
