You sure it's not the other way around?

I suppose it depends on what side you're on. Buuut, that depends on what defines the roles of both a hero and a villain.

I think it's pretty obvious what defines each role. The bad guys aren't called the bad guys because go around being cheerful and nice as they save everyone.

Save everyone? How is that even remotely possible? And please, don't even get me started on being cheerful.

[ Sylar just rolls his eyes, and he doesn't intend to bring up those who beat their drums in the same manner of Bennett or even Petrelli.

He does his best to keep it simple. ]

You my friend, have a very narrow view of the world.

Hey, just because I offer the stereotypical image of a hero doesn't mean I necessarily believe in it. I know everyone can't be saved, but heroes try and that's what makes them heroes, right?

Of course, they can't, and they can't all be a bunch of jolly pricks. Though, I am always partial to the brooding prick, which needs to prove something to himself.

I would go, as far as to say, heroes are selfish. Do you think anyone really wants to defend the miserable status quo that we call life?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you've got something bad against the hero type.

Why?

My problem is with those who have good intentions, those who's intentions do far more harm than good.

Are you going to tell me next that mistakes aren't acceptable? What exactly are your intentions then?

So, that's what they call failed good intentions these days! [ He said sarcastically. ] My intentions are the same as most people, that is to survive under the countless failed good intentions of the status quo.

[He gets an eye roll and a snorted laugh.] So that's it then? Just to survive the misdoings of those of the good intended?

Let me ask you this, if you had the power, would you make a difference? Maybe not, right. Because you don't want to end up like the do-gooders doing wrong?

[ If he only knew what Sylar's motives were, but he down plays them. With a roll of his shoulders, he shakes his head, no. ] That's all we do isn't it? Survive.

Do I want that power and responsibility? No. [ He tries to play it cool. ] But it's not for those reasons.

Okay, yeah. Point taken. [But now that their on the topic, he's intrigued.]

For what reasons then? I'd understand if it really were because of the responsibility, it'd be a lot to take on.

The responsibilities alone are one thing I would rather not deal with. I also am a man who would rather treasure his privacy.

You have responsibilities either way, and there are ways to keep your anonymity. It's called wearing a mask. [He's just being difficult now.]

That is true, but one has responsibilities that are easier to dodge than taking up the career of a politician. [ He avoids admitting to want to strive for the position. The drive and quest for power by any means is something he seeks.

The ever driving need to be that one special snowflake pushes and motivates Sylar to kill.

He is quick to eye Raleigh, his lips twisting upwards into a grin. ] And what do you see yourself as?
