I also picked up on the fact that we're in London just a few days before Savage tries to kill your wife and son, and you're not trying to get them to safety.
After my first attempt on Savage in ancient Egypt, my very next stop was here in 2166. I found Miranda and Jonas exactly where I'd left them, and we... we raced towards the Waverider, but we had a run-in with Savage's shock troopers. Miranda and Jonas were cut down. So, uh... I jumped even further back, and the outcome is exactly the same. I watched my family die countless times at the hands of Savage and his forces before I realized that, um...
Now, you may not believe in fate, Raymond, but I certainly do. And perhaps it was fate that compelled me to bring you seven together, so we can change this future once and for all.
The best magic tricks have the simplest solutions. I bribed your guard with a novelty pen. Had a picture of a woman on it. Turn her upside down, the top comes off. I won it from a drunk G.I. in a Philippines bar in 1944. It's a tacky souvenir, but in this case... a life saver.
Yeah. When I lost Anna, I thought that I could never find anybody who I could spend the rest of my life with. You proved me wrong. Thank you for showing me that it's possible.
I thought about how royally screwed you'd be without me. My point being, if I could survive not being turned into Chronos, you could survive anything they throw at you.
None. But, neither have I got myself into bar fights in 1975 and the Old West, put dwarf star technology into the hands of terrorists, or got myself turned into a scary bird-monster.
