I'm sorry I haven't anything else to offer to brighten it more.
How very contrary of him. I think that just made me smile.
I have always appreciated subtle. If my treatment of you and Victoria as equals was lacking, I apologize and blame my upbringing and the majority of my life. I'm still adjusting to the shifts in social mores. Being locked away from them for 30 years didn't help me acclimate. As for the death of everyone close to you...welcome to my world. And I gave you your children back, or at least got Peter out of a cell. That you lost them again is not my fault, and my assistance there should balance something on the scale.
Would Bob's head on a platter, metaphorically of course, because that would be far too messy, cheer you up? For what he did to Peter? For the things he told Nathan?
Then we focus in on the next generation. On the children. The rest of them are so self-involved I doubt they'd even notice. If they can't be reached, then we go beyond them. Though, personally, Peter and Claire are rather special to me--two others with a chance to stand the test of time. Do you know what it's like to not have that? Can you imagine it, Angela?
I made my decisions, Adam. I live with them. I did what was best, what I knew. We came from diverse backgrounds, from cultures a world apart. We all did what we thought we could. Or what we had to. Do you think I wanted Bennet raising Claire? Nathan wasn't ready when she was born but Bennet? She should have been with me, where she was raised a Petrelli, not some simpering cheerleader with more bravada than brains! She made be special to you but that man ruined her.
Please, don't smile over your perceived reasonings for Nathan's rebellion. If that were the case, don't you think he'd have more sight than that, more vision for the future we once held precious?
I could then, and perhaps now, excuse your actions as a man of another time. That does not excuse the others. They were of my generation, my world. I blame breeding. Though one other treated me fairly. He's gone now due to illness. Deveraux. He was a good man in a pit of vipers.
I would almost endure the messing for literal, but metaphorically shall do. He destroyed what chance we had, Adam. I tried to fight back once. rthur's dead and Heidi was left in a wheelchair. Nathan could have been killed. I stopped fighting then. My grandsons would have been next.
You give Peter too much credit and Nathan too little but self involved is true.
You know, the Walker child is technically an orphan being raised by a cop with a bad record and an abusive, criminal father and the son of an insane geneticist. A good lawyer and we could start over with that generation.
Can't she be taken away, as well? Surely you and Nathan have rights?
My smile had nothing to do with any perceived reasonings--for once. Just amusement at the image.
I am glad to be excused, for all that I'm trying to do better. And, yes. Charles was special.
Oh, if you want literal, I can give you literal. I'm fine with literally taking his head from his shoulders. I just thought it might muss your drawing room.
I think you underestimate Peter--blinded by Nathan. Who I want to believe in, but if he can't be brought to see reason, then we'll have to go around him.
She's sixteen, spoiled and tempermental. Ask your little blonde friend about it, I'm sure she could explain it better than I. She deserted us, me, just as Nathan did at Kirby. Ruined everything between the two of them. BOTH over their little inability to distinguish reality from Peter.
Oh, the drawing room can be cleaned. That's a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I will see Nathan preserved. You know all I went through for him, from the very first moment that it was decided I would conceive. He had to be silenced, this shooting was not my idea but I did what I had to to remain alive and in good graces. With new leadership, I wouldn't have to do that.
The Sanders boy as well. Not as if his Mother is a fit parent. That pairing was Linderman's idea and the child is the only redeeming factor.
I never would have taken her from you. To give her to Bennet to raise was foolhardy.
Then you shall have his head.
I can't take control of all of them alone. Not without the virus. I can lead them, but I'll need help without an central focus to rally them around. Even Bob doesn't have control anymore. The virus would have given me that, given me a chance to pull everyone together to fight a common evil. But they're so scattered now, I don't think they even know where the evil is anymore.
Micah? Yes. He should be easy, all things considered. From what I hear, he wants nothing more than to use his powers to be a hero. We can work with that.
Kaito made the decision. He made the call to kill the girl's mother, to take the child. He made the decision whom to give her to. I suspect it was, more than for Claire's sake, a way of cementing his hold over Bennet. Looking at both of his children, one can see the poor example of a father that he is.
So good to me.
No, they think they know wherein the evil lies now. It's with us, Adam. They blame all of us for every ill in their lives when they don't realise that none of it would happen if they wouldn't continually work to be and act like everything we never wanted. If any of them would listen, behave, then they would have it all. Instead they have cast us in light of monster. And in us, I do mean both the Company as well as you and I personally. We are their evil, Adam.
He worked well for the Company before. It was his ability that assured Nathan his election. You are right in that one thing. We have to start with them young. I do realise that mistake, though I see it not as a mistake as much as a different in ideals.

It's not a mistake I'll make again.
