[ Peter's had enough. He's tired of trailing after the shadows of Sylar like it'll get him anywhere and he's done this already. It got old the first time he got shoved off a rooftop. It got even older the... second? time he helped kill Sylar. And now? He's just over it. Long past over it. And he's not going to apologize for his behavior.

Which is why he's now taking a page out of Claire's handbook. Especially since he's figured a certain something out.

... Peter's seated plainly at a table, a rather large kitchen knife laying in front of him. You know, one of those you see running rampant in horror movies. ]

Hey, Sylar.

[ He smiles plainly, picks up said knife and waves it in front of the comm, his other hand resting palm side down on the table. ] You paying attention?

[ A second later, no hesitation, he slams it into the back of his hand, barely managing a flinch in the process. Though he doesn't look particularly comfortable when he goes about twisting it around. For. Y'know. Posterity's sake. Keeping Sylar's interest is important, here. Another few seconds and he pulls it back out, tossing the knife to clatter on the table. Shoving his palm into the screen of the comm device, it only takes a second or two for the wound to begin healing, knitting itself together until it's gone completely, leaving behind tracks of blood.

Wiping his hand off on his jeans, he looks rather expectantly at his comm, completely blase. ] So. Interested in talking yet? Or do I still have to come find you.

You consider yourself responsible for the crimes you fail to prevent.
There are police officers on the force who never feel that kind of responsibility, that guilt, and still are hailed wholesale as heroes.
Wasn't that why we were brought here, after all?

How many people do you see around here touting the fact that they're heroes? I see more people making fun of it than anything else.

Saving lives only works if you actually save them.

[ Wow Peter way to kick Batman in the balls. ]

Sometimes that choice is taken out of your hands. You can either cry about it, or you can use it as the prompt you need to do better; to do the right thing.

[ HE WASN'T TRYING TO, that was his own personal guilt fest okay, it was self directed. ]

And I started working again because it was the only thing I could do. Can't save people like this, might as well do it out of the front seat of an ambulance. Actually do some good for once.

Can't save people like what? That healing power of yours would be an advantage for anyone. I'm assuming it isn't all that you can do, either.
Otherwise you wouldn't be drawing him out at all, would you?

I'm drawing him out because someone has to.

I suppose there's no risk of the danger passing?

Meaning that what, Sylar will up and decide to turn in his serial killer card out of the goodness of his heart?

I'm asking. You know him, I don't.

I've seen it happen once. Twice, almost. It's not gonna happen here. Not unless someone tries to convince us we're related again, which wouldn't work a second time around, anyway.

[ Batman please keep his secret. ]

I understand.
Redemption has to be hard earned. It has to be wanted.
Someone tried to convince you that you were related?

Right now the last thing he wants is redemption. I know what time he's from, I know what moment he's from, I know where he thinks he's headed.

And yeah. My parents. Thought it'd be beneficial.

And where is that?

[ Peter's parents tried to convince him they were related? So it really is personal, then. ]

Literally? To me if I can wing it. [ ahahah wing it...... that wasn't intentional, sob. ] Back home he wants to be president. Thinks he gets there, too.

President? Of the United States of America? Isn't he some kind of serial killer?

Helps when he can look like anyone he wants to.

A shapeshifter? Here?

I don't think he's one here, no. He'd be using it by now if he was.

Does he only kill people with powers?

He tries to, for the most part. Know at least one person he killed who didn't have any abilities.

Unusual circumstances?

He was looking for a cheerleader. One who'd survived saving someone from a trainwreck without any injuries. Jackie lied, said she did it and ended up in the newspaper for it. Sylar went looking for her. Figured out the hard way that she wasn't the girl he was interested in.

Is it just greed that drives him to seek out other people's powers?

Not exactly, no.

An explanation would help.
