[VOICE]
You know we weren't ourselves. Had different memories, attitudes. The Master has been in charge before and it wasn't like that. Judas, Iago. Perhaps their presence changed everything. Changed him.

[A pause. He sounds like he's trying to convince himself as much as anyone else.These next weeks will be hard. On all of us. Long, exhausting. ( Read more... )

Feeling philosophical?

Private notarrowette April 19 2010, 05:55:30 UTC

Hero. Yes. My mother started training me when I was five. I quit when I was sixteen.

Private gray_atonement April 19 2010, 05:58:30 UTC

Why?

Private notarrowette April 19 2010, 06:07:30 UTC

You're just full of questions tonight.

It's complicated. The courts stripped my mother's parental rights and put me in state care because of Arrowette. I kept doing it anyway. Met Tim, made other friends. Saved the world a few times. And then my therapist, who was like an aunt or a second mother, was murdered. I made some mistakes, people almost died.

So I quit.

You had it so easy and you don't even realize.

Private notarrowette April 19 2010, 06:29:31 UTC

You're an ass, Sylar.

You judge me and my life based on a few sentences, in which I gloss over everything and give a pretty censored Cliff Notes version of things, after you've been snappish and demanding.

You don't know how I've had things, and you don't know what I realize.

Private gray_atonement April 19 2010, 06:47:16 UTC

You didn't have to answer.

Fine. I'm confident it was easier than mine. Happy?

Private notarrowette April 19 2010, 07:08:42 UTC

No. I didn't have to. Here's a fun fact for you: I don't talk about it. Period. I don't talk about Arrowette, and I don't talk about quitting. There's a handful of people who know about those things, and I rarely even talk about it with them. So I don't know why--whatever. I did answer. Clearly I was just wasting my time.

It probably was. I never said it wasn't. I don't go around claiming I've had some kind of horrific life, or playing the 'my hidden pain is worse than yours' game. I own my issues and I know they don't hold a candle to most. My baggage is my own.

And no. I'm not happy. Are you?

Private gray_atonement April 19 2010, 07:13:09 UTC

No.

I'm-- I'm sorry. I don't..

[He lets out a small growl, as if unable to speak. There's another pause as if he's going to say more, then it cuts out.]

Private - Now that she's calmed down... notarrowette April 19 2010, 16:46:33 UTC

I do get that the things I've been through and the things I've done aren't the most traumatizing things ever, but they did happen to me, and they did shape me, one way or another.

The things you said about Peter--how he was your brother and your enemy? It's kind of what Arrowette is for me. Complicated. Obviously not the same, and with some fun identity confusion thrown in, but--that's the best way I can explain it.

Private gray_atonement April 21 2010, 06:23:18 UTC

I think I understand.
