And you think fixing it is going to make it better?

OOC: Going to assume the FYG!Candice is still actually "Candice." Even though Peter not might even know her, so it doesn't really matter.

What else is there? I can't just leave things the way they are.

Some thing's always going to be around to cause people pain. It's the way the world works.

OOC: I know, right? I was so pissed when they killed her off. And whatever works for you works for me.

If that's the case then I'm going to be around to stop it. Good people shouldn't have to feel pain - they shouldn't have to deal with ordeals they don't even deserve.

Who are you?

You knock yourself out with that and let me know how it goes.

Name's Candice. Let's just say I worked for the man who helped you go boom.

Can't say I've heard of you. You must not be very popular, either that or you're already dead.

I go by a lot of different names. Lot of different faces too.

And knowing my luck, I probably am dead, but that's not really relevant at this point in time, is it?

Really? Care to enlighten me on how you accomplish that?

No, I guess not. You don't seem dead now.

*smirk* It's easy, sweetie.

*shimmers slightly, and turns into a woman with red hair*

I can make you see anything I want.

-stares at, eyes narrowing-

I see. Well, I guess you are dead in the future because I've faced someone else who has your ability - and he has a lot of other abilities to go along with it.

I'm sure you know of Sylar, right?

*pouts slightly* Damnit. I was hoping to go out better than that.

You and everyone else he's killed. I'm sure they all wanted to go out with a bang.

I guess so.

But not you, huh? Manage to outwit the brain eater every time?

I have just as many powers to parlay his own. I only just found out he was still alive and that he was collecting more abilities. I kept thinking he was dead, but he's been using your ability for years. He's been pretending to be my brother, Nathan Petrelli, who is the President of the United States as of now.

So, congratulate yourself. Your ability helped a psychopath take rule over our nation.

*dryly* Yay for me. Like I really care.

Are you trying to make me feel like shit for being murdered?

Since you were already working for the people who had part in my detonation. You deserve a whole lot worse than Sylar snatching your brain for keeps.

Look, dude -- all I did was help Micah rig your brother's election. And the situation was inevitable. You were going to explode whether we had a hand in it or not.

Can't fight the future.

You're the girl that took Niki's son? Wow. I'm glad she's not here to see this. She'd kill you.

I don't doubt it. Psycho Barbie was always a bit unstable that way.

If certain mob men would stop hiring illusionists to kidnap kids I can assure you that she wouldn't be so unstable.

Ya know, Mr. Linderman isn't as bad as everyone thinks he is.

Name one good quality.

He can heal people.

Heal people? Does he by any chance use that as a type of bargaining chip? I wouldn't be surprised.

Ends justify the means, Emo Boy.

Mr. Linderman was going to heal the world. Sometimes people get hurt, regardless of intention, did you ever think of that?

They had to go to war to stop Holocaust.

Right, right. Heal the world. Well, Linderman got his wish when I exploded and made the world realize that we existed. Guess what, Candice? The world isn't healing like your boss thought it would. Things only got worse.

Linderman was dead before the plan got set into motion. Maybe if your blond friend and her baby daddy hadn't decided to off the old guy, things might have turned out a little differently.

I doubt things would have changed. Linderman's vision of the future was tainted from the start. Whatever healing he wanted to do to the world failed the moment reality turned its ugly head and the people realized we were the criminals - the villains.

And if Linderman was still pulling the strings, who says that was ever going to happen?

You really shouldn't be saying anything. You're dead, remember?

Yeah. I was supposedly killed by the guy who should have died on Kirby Plaza. But apparently didn't. And since Linderman was dead before all this happened -- you gotta wonder, right?
