The older magician smoothed out his trousers and balanced the cane on his legs. "The sickness is terminal. At least . . . in the sense that there are no avenues for treatment that I would consent to." The old man qualified. In the world they lived in there were always options but the costs were not always commensurate with the gain.<br/><br/>He paused and considered. "I am not sure when I would have told you, if ever. I hoped to better hide it from you today, because I knew you would see it as an attempt to compel you with guilt into taking part in super heroics. The Batman warned me that I would not be able to, but my pride got the better of me." Giovanni said after several moments thought. "The League has known for some time, but I owed that to them because I work with them every day and we are placed in situations where our lives depend upon each other. If they asked I would have stepped down, but they allowed me to continue. The vote was unanimous. I might have told you earlier - I tried - but my foolishness has created such a gulf between us that I was forced to compel you into my presence."
