Starting a career in piracy, Mrs. Petrelli?

Might be simpler and more enjoyable than some things currently.

It's definitely possible.

It's only another thirty years, if I'm lucky. Shouldn't be too hard given what some endure in the same time.

Oh?

Someone I've known for a very long time who let other old friends prove just how sadistic they are.

I see.

I highly doubt you do, not in it's entirety. Because no one knows it all but each of us that endured it. My everything is not anothers, and some of those things you can't share with anyone.

And what makes you think that that isn't what I see?

They do say that four can keep a secret if three are dead.

That suits me well as, out of thirteen, three live.

What's your magical number, Angela? Are you one of those three?

I wasn't the first, but I'm one of the remaining three. Our founder, his Eve as it were, and the fool.

Soon only two will remain.

*makes a sour face* I don't like the creation myth. Eve was framed. And so was Lilith.

*pauses, pursing her lips* Can two keep a secret just as well as one?

So was I, so very fitting.

Many of the secrets I'm keeping from that one. I suspect he is doing the same.

*muses quietly* Together you'll make a matched set. Like contrasting colors. Cute.

How it's been for well over forty years.

Some of them, yes. Others are destructive just by being kept. You know that.

How much more destructive would it have been to ensure you never knew I loved him? How much more destructive would it have been if he never knew how I loved you? Would it have been less destructive for Nathan to know his brother would rather lock himself away than face Nathan and apologise for what he did?

Seems very little is more destructive than what we've done relatively openly.

And those things are not even the secrets I refer to.

I would have known. He would have known. And Peter was trying to keep Nathan safe.

What secrets, then?

If I hadn't wanted either of you to know... well, then you wouldn't have known. I didn't use that... way I have to ensure he forgot or dismissed things. Would Nathan have felt protected, or abandoned? You don't know him as I do, he wouldn't have felt protected.

It doesn't matter. They're years past, Adam. Gone and done and over. Nothing to be done about them now.

No, you didn't. And if you had done so on me...And I know I don't know him as well, but...I know he wouldn't have felt protected. But it was done for that.

So I should cease asking questions?

~~If I had done so on you, I can swear it would not have been the same as Arthur. Of that I have no question and you should never, not ever, put yourself on that level because you would never do that.~~

Adam, ignore the last message. I deleted it because it was emotional and me rambling. It's nothing. You can ask anything you wish. I would tell you to stop asking, I just don't think you'll like the answers.

Strikeouts are deleted posts Adam got in notification but are gone now.

Now I'm more worried than before. It's not like you to be emotional and ramble....

Yes, it was. A long time ago. I had a bad memory of the past and it's still haunting me, that's all.
