[ A laugh bubbles up from Sylar, deeply bitter and probably cementing his position as a serial killer considering how sinister it comes out. But whatever. ]

Hey, I'm just telling you what I've come across so far. Maybe there's no decent people in my world. I mean, I've fallen for it five times in as many years, the whole 'oh, I care about you and oh wait I just wanted you for this one thing, now go away' Thing. Makes a guy a little paranoid, you know?

[thewarningafter]

Makes a guy a little bitter, I'd guess.

[Sure, he knows what Sylar believes to be the cause of his behavior, but there's always more to it than one can see in oneself.]

[termineur]

Yeah, that too.

[ He's not going to deny it. ]

Maybe there's just not a lot of decent people in my world.

[thewarningafter]

Or maybe your real superpower is being a magnet for assholes.

[termineur]

Ha. I wouldn't be surprised.

[ Although...thinking about it more... ]

A side effect, maybe. My power's really useful. Tends to lead to getting used.

[thewarningafter]

Well, there you have it. We're all perfectly useless here, so obviously you've got nothing to worry about.

[His tone is joking.]

[termineur]

[ That gets a chuckle out of him, but he sounds vaguely uncomfortable. This has given him a lot of food for thought. ]

Makes more sense than I'd like, really.

Okay, I'm going to get going, I think. Let me know what the Admin tells you. And good luck.

[thewarningafter]

Yeah, I'll get back to you as soon as I have answers. No promises, but...you know.

Stay safe, will you?

[termineur]

Yeah, we'll just have to see how it goes. Thanks. Bye, Doc.
