I'm sorry...

I didn't even know. If I had found him, before too much time had gone by, I could've done something. Or tried to.

I should have killed him.

The Joker.

I had the chance and I -- ...

No. You couldn't have. That's not what you do, its not what you stand for.

He'll be back in three days, though. I know its terrible of me to say that, but we have to hold on to some kind of optimism right now.

Do you need someone with you right now? I could come over sometime.

Can you?

It feels so quiet. Worse than the last time he died. Because I know I should have been there - helping out those below. Instead of focusing on the Joker.

He was right.

The Joker was right.

Harvey knew what he was doing when he ran in to help people. He knew that the Joker would probably find him.

There are a lot of people angry over what happened to him. Sylar is one of them. And when Sylar gets angry...

Well, it wouldn't surprise me if he killed both Joker and the Hatter sometime soon. I don't want him to, but he's really angry over what happened, what they did.

But I'll come over, and hang around for as long as you need me.

I was selfish.

I just -- I always fight him. He needs a cell somewhere. He needs to be locked away. I'm not even angry. I don't know what to call it. I guess you could say this is one of the bad choices I've made.

I won't keep you long.

You can keep me for as long as you want. You need someone there with you, Bruce.

Just don't punish yourself. You were trying to protect everyone by fighting him. It wouldn't have been right of you to act only in the best interest of Harvey, and you know that. You did what you thought would protect everyone.

That's right. I can't base the decisions I make on personal preferences. I have to make the more difficult of choices.

Yeah. It's your job, and I hate that you have to have it.

I care about you a lot, Bruce. You shouldn't have to carry all the weight of this by yourself. That's why I'm going to be there to help you as much as possible. In the behind the scenes supportive younger sister role kind of way.

Alfred used to say that Batman was the hero Gotham needed, but didn't want. And at his funeral, they said that Harvey was the hero that Gotham didn't deserve, but got.

Alfred also has said, though - that as Batman, I have to make the choices others can't make. To be willing to make those sacrifices - that are necessary, in order to accomplish things for the greater good.

...And I can't do it. I always say that, and I can't.

It's hard to tell anymore if the choices are right or wrong.

I think you're talking to the wrong person about making right or wrong choices. I hardly know what I'm doing anymore.

You are a hero, don't ever doubt that. You're really strong, and brave, and you've helped so many people. It's easier said than done, to make sacrifices that are so big. To accomplish things for the greater good instead of for yourself or those closest to you.

I mean, if you had seen me the way that I was right after the blast, when you were fighting Joker, I would have wanted you to stop fighting and go and get me. It's because I'm selfish, but I think I'm that way just because I'm human. We're all selfish, its just that some people are better at getting over themselves better than I am.

I don't and won't doubt it.

I'll be over soon, and I'll distract you.

Good.
