'Cause it takes time and a bloody lot of effort to put together an apocalypse. From what I've heard, he had plenty of time to put the first one together, had power and connections he hasn't got here. If he even wanted to, he'd be starting from scratch, I reckon. The worst he'd have to deal with back home was other Avatars, here he's got all sorts of people that'd take issue with him.

[And not all of them can be kept in check by the threat to Agnes, or even the threat to Jon and the Institute. If Elias tried to start shit, a lot of people here could simply kill him. Or worse.]

He and I are the same, right? We've both got what we wanted back home, just in the opposite directions, and this place is a detour. There's no point doing more than treating it as such, s'a waste of time and energy to do more when we're going back to what's waiting.
