7th Life Saved [Accidental Video Post]

[The screen is slightly askew and broadcasting from the ground but shows a very angry looking Peter Petrelli hovering in the air somewhere along the coast. Blasts of energy are shooting from his hands and making small explosions on the rocks below.]

So many lies! Why do they all keep lying to me?!

[Peter glances down and sees his communicator,

Mr. Petrelli.

[totallyyourhero]

Dr. Stein?

[slightly_screwy]

I was under the impression you disapproved of property damage and... mm, explosions, as it were.

[totallyyourhero]

I don't think anyone owns the rocks I'm blasting. And if I don't work off some of my anger... I feel like I'm about to explode.

[slightly_screwy]

Ah, well. Think of the ecosystem. Something the matter?

[totallyyourhero]

Just... angry. Frustrated.

[slightly_screwy]

Oh?

[totallyyourhero]

Family problems.

[slightly_screwy]

Ah. I can sympathise. Well, to be honest, I actually can't, but that's neither here not there. Problems with lying?

[totallyyourhero]

They all think they're protecting me, but they're just lying to cover themselves. My family, other people I thought were helping me, they all just keep lying to me.

[slightly_screwy]

Mm. And the truth would have helped you more?

[totallyyourhero]

You should never lie to the people you love or say you're trying to help.

[slightly_screwy]

Oh, sometimes it seems people lie most to the ones they love, I really wouldn't know though. But I'm a doctor, lying to the people I help is pretty much what I do.

What would have happened if they hadn't lied, then?

[totallyyourhero]

Shouldn't doctors not be lying to their patients?

I don't know.

[slightly_screwy]

You'd think so, wouldn't you, and yet.

Forgive me for extrapolating from the little information I have, I'm getting ahead of myself, I'm sure. The... rather volatile situation you described to me doesn't seem to be something that would have been helped by, mm. More explosions, if your reaction now is anything to go by.

[totallyyourhero]

Maybe that's the benefit I get from being a hospice nurse. Most of my patients have already gotten the worst news they're going to get.

If I had been told about it up front I wouldn't be nearly as upset now. And I wouldn't have been able to be so literally explosive then.
