....no, I won't. I've ducked it all day, I-

[muffled thumping noises, followed by an annoyed grunt]

When I was five, I lost my Hot Wheels car behind the seat in an old grungy diner. I was only paying half of my attention to it. My father had brought me in there to meet my aunt and uncle- I didn't understand it then, but now I can put the pieces together. He gave them a giant wad of cash and then told me to stay. I didn't listen, I followed him out...damn it.

My mother was still in the car, and this is all I remember seeing of her, just that face in the dirty car window. She argued with him, and he did something- blood poured out of her head and he pushed her out of the car. He left her lying on the dirt road as he drove away. I don't remember if I cried or not. All I remember is my aunt trying to turn my head away, telling me that it didn't happen.

[There's a quiet moment, followed by a crash. Unfortunately the device is still on.]

That's enough.

[he gets it this time, and the recording cuts out]

Don't know what all that other shit means but hell it sounds like he stuck it in her ear. That's rough.

I'm sorry. That must have been terrible.

I... I saw my mother die too.

[there's a small pause before he replies]

-I know what he did now. It was telekinesis.

It was.

...then you know.

Did they tell you it was your fault, too?

That's awful. I'm so, so sorry.

No, they...

My aunt told me she was my mother all along. My uncle left. I didn't remember all of this until recently.

They told you-? [he cuts himself off- he doesn't understand, but he knows he shouldn't ask.]

What the fuck is that?

It would be less awful if I didn't have to talk about it.

But thank you.

Maybe it's easier sometimes if you don't remember.

My dad said it was my fault because I was bad and that I should have died instead of her.

I don't know about that. Having parents die is bad enough without having to see it happen. I can't imagine that...

Moving objects with your mind. He cut her head open without touching it.

Maybe. I wish I didn't remember sometimes.

Your father sounds even worse than mine.

I try to forget sometimes, but I don't want to forget her.

He wasn't a very nice man. When I got bigger he thought about doing bad things to me so I ran far away.

I broke beyond repair that day

I couldn't handle it, it seems. I forgot it had happened. I've forgotten almost everything from before then.

I don't remember my real mother at all. I think she had dark hair, but that's all.

Good. I should probably be glad my fathers ran away from me and saved me the trouble.

I bet she was really pretty.

Oh, wow...

Is there anything to do to help that? Therapy, or... I don't know. Anything.

OMG. NEED.TO. HUG.SYLAR. NAO

I bet she was. I bet she loved me.

I doubt it. Besides, what if I'd be happier not remembering?

voice; aha! yes. :3

No, not at all. That's why I didn't, I think. I only remembered it a couple years ago.
