I think it's about time I got a job. The money I was given when I got here isn't going to last forever and who knows? Maybe there's somebody out there with a few answers as to just what is going on around here.

So. According to Elle's son ~~that's just too weird to type~~, there's some version of me that gets kicks out of threatening to shoot kids.

How am I supposed to take something like that?

And is this another one of those things that you all knew about but didn't see any reason to tell me?

~~Did you seriously just ask if I did anything that would have made me turn into a child-killer? The answer is NO!~~

~~... well, maybe I made a decision that would've been a mistake but~~

Okay. Let's say, hypothetically, that I did do something that probably would have been a bad idea. I still can't see myself pulling a gun on a child. I'm a lot of things and capable of a lot ~~even stuff I didn't think I was capable of~~ but I'm not a monster that shoots kids.

	And I wanted to be a teacher when I was your age. Four years is a long time, Claire. Things happen that change people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~STOP. MAKING. SENSE. Please!~~ So in four years I could go from me, to someone that tries to shoot an innocent little kid? I'm still not buying it. It was some other Claire. Or... a shapeshifter. Something. I mean, come on Angela. We're talking about Sylar being the victim and me being the monster! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who says he wasn't the victim at some point? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Angela x_clairebear_x 2009-05-19 08:52 am UTC (link)
	Me! As a former victim of his, I say so! And even if he was the victim, that still doesn't give him the right to do the things he's done anymore than it'd excuse me trying to shoot his son just because I hate him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It isn't about an excuse, Claire. It's about a reason, a motivation. We all have it. We all need it. And it's the things that happen in our lives previous to the point that we are doing something that give it to us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So his reason for turning into a serial killer is what? He wasn't hugged enough as a child? I refuse to believe that there's any legitimate reason that he became the way he was. He didn't kill because he was compelled to do it. He killed because he enjoyed it. Just like he enjoyed tormenting me. Or now are you going to say he was totally motivated in making that weird, freaky, pseudo-proposal to me that he did?

	Things are never as simple as we want them to be, Claire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Angela x_clairebear_x 2009-05-19 10:16 am UTC (link)
	No, I guess not. And when it comes to all of us, even when they are simple they still aren't. Not really. Which is why I think I'm having such a hard time believing he's actually dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Claire. reapwhatwesow 2009-05-19 10:19 am UTC (link)
	I know he's risen from the ashes one too many times for comfort, Claire, but what makes you think that he isn't? I know that time here is negligible, but back where we were... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Angela x_clairebear_x 2009-05-19 10:27 am UTC (link)
	I don't know. I can't put my finger on it. It just doesn't feel like he's really gone. Like it was almost too easy. Or maybe that whole speech he gave about how eventually it'd just be the two of us left standing stuck with me more than I thought it did. I'm just being paranoid. Forget I said anything.

	Paranoia is a good instinct. Tends to keep people alive longer than we'd expect them to live otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Angela x_clairebear_x 2009-05-19 10:44 am UTC (link)
	Staying alive isn't exactly an issue for me. I'm just not sure how to accept that he's actually gone, is all. It doesn't feel like it's over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If things start back up, we can worry about it then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean there's no contingency plan? I thought you and Dad pretty much always had a back-up plan, just in case? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Claire. reapwhatwesow 2009-05-19 12:16 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe we do. Maybe we don't. Either way, you're better off not knowing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Seriously? After everything I've gone through, everything I've done and been a part of, you're doing this to me now?! The two of you have some nerve trying to keep me out of the loop yet aga~~ Right. Got it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
