just a taste of all that might come to be
So, uh, Nathan and Claire are still owning me for the last episode of Heroes. And this picspam is the result. I lay the blame entirely on ever_obsessed and boombangbing. The former for making me spam her in a bribe to get her to watch the episode and the latter for encouraging me to put it all together, quotes and all.
Warning this is kind of epic and pointlessly long and doesn't even fit properly in my own layout because I couldn't sacrifice the pretty.
"Yo soy su padre."
"Actually, he's my biological padre."
“So, what’s the plan?”
“The plan is to keep you safe. I was exposed so that free pass I had for you went away but even Danko’s reach doesn’t reach south of the border. Yet.”
“And what about everyone else?”
“I’ll make some calls. Put some things in motion.”
“Alright, well, we also got to eat. There’s a cantina down the way, can I buy you a taco?”
“With what money?”
“I’ll think of something.”
“I think I’m just going to go for a walk.”
“Look, it’s probably best we stick together, okay? It’s for your own safety.”
“I’ll be careful, I promise.”
“Alright, look, I’ll meet you at the cantina, okay? Don’t be-”
“Voila!”
“Where did you get that?”
“I sold my kidney. Actually both of them. Twice.”
“I found a pawn shop down the street. Sold the necklace my dad gave me. My other dad.”
“You didn’t have to do that.”
“I didn’t want to but he’s Mr. Survival Skills. And if he knew we were in a pinch and I didn’t sell it, he’d be mad.”
“I expect he would. It’s a nice gesture but I got everything under control. This isn’t exactly a simple situation here.”
“It seems simple to me. Government agents are out there hunting innocent people. And they’re going to keep going until you tell them to stop what you started.”
“Would it kill you to show me just a little bit of gratitude?”
“For what?”
“For what? For giving you a free pass, for risking my neck to save your life when it was over. Pick one. Either one. Just common courtesy, Claire.”
“Why did you give me a free pass?”
“I had my reasons.”
“Be back.”
“What are you going to do with it?”
“Turn it into more.”
“Boys, want to make this a little more interesting?”
“What did you have in mind?”
“Listen, c’mon, let’s go.”
“A hundred dollars a hit. Last man standing takes it all.”
“Listen, I can do this. I used to do this scrapping for shore leave money at the Philippines, alright?
“I’m good at it.”
“Fine.”
“Alright.”
“Go for it.”
“Alright, boys. Line them up.”
“Hey, why don’t we just call it a draw? You guys don’t look so good.”
“Nonsense.”
“You don’t have to do this, you know?”
“Yeah, I do. We need the money, don’t we? Besides your dad - your other dad - is not the only one who can do stuff, you know.”
“Geez. What you weigh like a buck ten?”
“That’s none of your business.
“I’m just saying, man, you don’t even look drunk.”
“I think that you’re just jealous that I caught up.”
“Yeah, after I put your old man to sleep.”
“Oh please, that’s not hard. He tends to bite off more than he can chew.”
“He’s pretty slick but he seems like a good guy.”
“He wants to be. Free passes and swooping in and taking me off to Mexico, thinking that’s all he has to do.”
“I get it. My parents are divorced to.”
“No, it’s not like that… maybe it is.”
“I just wish he would take off his armor - shining or otherwise - and just act like a normal human being.”
“We need to go. Hey, c’mon, we got to go. I won the money.”
“Okay, you should never ever fly in that condition.”
“How are you not…”
“The whole tissue regeneration thing. I think it includes my liver tissue.”
“Oh, yeah? I didn’t know that.”
“I’m so sorry, Claire.”
“Let me help.”
“I really messed up, didn’t I?”
“It’s alright. It’s fine.”
“It’s not fine. You want to know what I did when I found out about you? I did what I always do. I denied there was a problem. Just like I’m doing right now.”
“You know we should probably have this conversation in the morning.”
“The truth is, Claire, I get a pit in my stomach every time I think of you.”
“It was just so stupid the way I handled it. You know I thought if I kept my distance, when the time was right, we would… catch up. But look at you. It looks like I missed my chance. You’re all grown up.”
“Hardly.”
“You want to know why I gave you a free pass? Because I thought in one move I could win you over.”
“Look at me, look at me right now. I’m using you as an excuse to hide behind this mess I’ve…”
"You know what? I know everyone is counting on me to fix it. And I wanna to try. I’m going to do it for everybody. Peter, my mom… for you.”
“I’m going to fix it all. I’ll make it all…”
“Good morning”
“Morning.”
“You really bailed me out last night with those kids. I appreciate it.”
“That’s what family’s for, right?”
“So what’s the plan? Are we going to straight to Washington?”
“No. Look, I didn’t make any calls to anybody. I don’t really have any friends on the hill at the moment.”
“But last night you said that you would fix everything.”
“I was drunk. I’m sorry if I got your hopes up.”
“There’s got to be something that you can do.”
“I’m wide open if you got any ideas.”
“Claire, I overreached. I screwed up. And now it’s just way beyond my control.”
“Something are bigger than one man.”
“You know what? Over the years, I couldn’t help but think about my real dad. Who you were, what you looked like, your job.”
“And then I met you.”
“And you were more amazing than anything I could have ever imagined.”
“I mean it’s just fantasy.”
“No! No, it doesn’t have to be. You can do anything you want.”
“You can fly.”
“Claire…”
“You were suppose to be Superman.”
“So, where you headed anyway?”
“Just a quarter past Ocho to San Diego. What time is it?”
“I got nothing.”
“What happened to your watch?”
“I’m heading back, you know.”
“Good.”
“You coming?”
