Inception/Highlander, Arthur + Methos, the only bank-robbery hostage worse than Arthur is Methos

Okay, I was browsing TV Tropes and couldn't resist this.

Arthur was more surprised, however, when the man who was dragged out of the manager’s office was decidedly not Kerrigan ( ... )

Arthur thought was going to choke trying not to laugh at this farce. He wondered how long Kerry could keep this up. Whoever he was outside of the role he was playing now, the robber believed the role and a drug addled rich man’s son wasn’t going to be any help at all. He couldn’t be threatened or bribed until he at least managed to come down from the high but that could take a while and would have uncertain results anyway. The longer they stayed in the bank without using whatever their escape route was, the worse their chances of having the escape route still be open ( ... )

... Methos as a kid high on drugs? Oh, that is awesome. This whole thing is awesome. Thank you so very much!

*grin* Well, he did kill the previous manager and was now illegally transferring bank funds in the office when the robbery happened. He figured the best way out was to bluff and bluff hard.

I figured that the robbers' primary goal has to be get in and get out fast. While they definitely want to kill Arthur (and do get distracted by him at the end), they're not going to abandon their mission or their security for revenge.

So a dangerous immortal was killed and replaced by an even more dangerous immortal, just in time for a bank robbery? *hee*

*grin* Yup. But the robbers lucked out: this immortal was so very dangerous that he didn't actually consider them a significant threat.

Oooh, yeah, they totally lucked out. I'm sure they don't see it that way, though.

Is there any chance of getting Methos' pov on the whole mess?

There is a distinct possibility of that.

Methos’ immediate reaction to hearing shots fired inside the bank he was currently in the process of robbing was to think that he had been discovered. It was quickly dismissed, however. After all, the shots weren’t being made at him, and he was alone in the manager’s office ( ... )

Methos had been impressed by the man. Garrik reminded him of a younger Kronos. Plotting and clever. A smart man and a vicious one with just the right balance of curiosity and caution that could help an immortal survive ( ... )

The question of how it would turn out for the robbers still needed to be answered. They seemed to be even less aware of the situation than Garrik had been. He smiled with a bit of genuine delight as he swayed towards the robber ( ... )
