Skip to Metatron and Agent S having a somewhat more private chat, since everyone else seems to have lost interest in this thread?
Metatron attempts to rescue Agent S and drag him off somewhere drier and somewhat more private for a chat.

Agent S is rescued and dragged off somewhere drier. He's not really sure why he's decided it's a good idea to go along with this woman (besides the obvious fact that at the start, he has little choice, what with being semi-drowned) - in fact, he's more sure that it isn't a good idea, and yet he goes along, anyway.

Metatron looks around nervously, and then she finally says, "You aren't human. I don't mean meta. I mean you weren't built on Earth."

Agent S eyes Metatron warily. "That'd be because I wasn't built, period," he counters.
"What the blazes are you?"

"Someone you shouldn't meet," Metatron replies. "I'm not your handler. The only time we should ever meet is when the war ends, I shake your hand and thank you for your service, and you march off for the therapy you will so deeply need. Nonetheless, if you don't remember who you are, you are in danger, if your enemies remember who you are before you do."
"So I must ask. ...'areodynamitc'? Really?"

Agent S starts to open his mouth and ask her what he's talking about, but even as he's doing that, it hits him.
All of it.
He had been on the very verge of remembering, anyway, but now Metatron's remark just pushes things over the edge.
His eyes go round and wide as he stares off at... nothing in particular.
"Sigma!" he hisses.

"Your... father, I suppose?" Metatron replies to S's imprecation.
Was Punch even given life by Vector Sigma? She doesn't know.
"Better if I don't know. But now you know." And knowing is half the battle.
"Your work is both appreciated and necessary, and home will always be waiting for you." She reaches out to try to clap a hand on S's shoulder. "Time we were both gone, now."

It should be noted that when Agent S woke up "to himself," he woke up as Punch. Consequently, he's considerably less surly than he might have been otherwise. He gives a faint nod when Metatron claps a hand on his shoulder.
And then he's gone.
