075. TEN things you should talk to a therapist about.

[Locked from just about everyone except those closest to me -- mainly 'cause there aren't any therapists I can tell some of this stuff to, and some of it's pretty private.]

1. Dad didn't like having such a 'sensitive' son.

2. I'm Mom's favourite but she wanted me to blow up and kill .07% of the Earth's population for Linderman's stupid plan.

3. I think Mom was sleeping with some of the other Company founders.

4. I think Dad was sleeping with some of the other Company founders, and I don't mean Victoria!

5. I seduced my brother when I was 17.

6. I'm... a bit of a slut.

7. I like it rough, and I can't be permanently hurt. I don't really have to spell this one out, do I?

8. I'm jealous of the people I know who can be pierced/scarred/tattooed/marked.

9. I let the Company drug me into submission, run tests on me, and nearly convince me I didn't want freedom so I could keep those I love safe from me.

10. I really am terrified of hurting the people I love. I nearly killed my brother when he saved the city from me blowing up.

He came back to try and fix things--found it was fixed and...his world didn't change. I don't know how. If timelines diverged or...I don't know how. But he's you. Mostly. There are...differences.

But the scar he got after he got Claire's healing ability....so. It is...possible. Somehow.

...Not that that's really something to make it suddenly as...intriguingly sexy as it was.

[youngerpetrelli]

So it's true, then. Alternate universes every time we change something...

...you think he's it's sexy...?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Apparently so.

What? I...didn't..that's not what I meant. I meant, you were talking about marking during sex so that my bringing up a scar another you bears that he got doing something that's broken him up inside likely wasn't exactly in the mood you were going for. I wasn't saying...I mean...that's not what I meant to...imply.

[youngerpetrelli]

That kind of sucks.

Oh! I'm such an idiot...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

For him, rather a lot, yes.

No, you're not. I mean, he's...you, so. Of course he's attractive and desirable. But not just because of the scar. Not the scar at all. The scar doesn't have anything to do with it. Just that he can. That was the only point I was trying to make.

[youngerpetrelli]

And every time we go back and try to fix something, it fixes it, but not for us... That's... depressing.

I-- yeah. Of course. So... I wonder if there's a way I can, without being more screwed up than I am now. *tentative smile* You aren't... uncomfortable with my kinks, are you?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

So it seems. He...seems to spend rather a lot of time here, to escape it, or. Well. I can't say I can blame him.

*refocuses* I would imagine there would have to be, yes. I don't know what it is. Do you...well. Some of your abilities you have to concentrate to use, yes? Can you concentrate on not healing, do you think? *smiles, slight shake of his head* No. I'm not uncomfortable. I've...wished several times I could see marks after...

[youngerpetrelli]

It's dangerous for him to be here, Adam. I remember when future Hiro showed up, he said he was risking a rift just being here!

*swallows hard* I could try that, yeah. I wonder if the next time I heal, though, it would all go away again. *smiles now* I think it might warrant some testing...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

But if he's from a totally different timeline anyway...And Hiro didn't mind nearly so much when he was bopping around feudal Japan. And, I might add, nothing happened.

*amused quirk of an eyebrow* It might, or it might not. One assumes he's healed from various things since then. I thought you might think that.

[youngerpetrelli]

Yeah, but Hiro wasn't in the same time with another him, right? Who the heck knows what might happen with two of anyone living in the same timeline and universe... I'm not exactly an expert on this wacky multiverse physics stuff.

*nods* Hadn't thought of that. *smiles* I think I might need someone to assist me...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

No, he wasn't. And I don't know either. I really don't...but he's here, and so far nothing's happened. Nothing bad, I mean. I get the feeling he's been here for a while.

*head tilt, lips quirking* I might be willing to volunteer.

[youngerpetrelli]

Well, that's... good, then. I think. I hope. I don't really know what to look for, as far as bad dimensional stuff goes.

*smile turns naughty* Excellent -- we can play doctor!

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Nor do I. But he seems...everything seems fine.

*laughs* Well, that's one way to term it...

[youngerpetrelli]

I guess we'll know if dinosaurs start appearing or something like that...

*laughs, unable to keep a straight face* Thought you might be amused. I am a nurse, after all... *winks*

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Hopefully they won't. He's ... well. You. Nice to have around, I mean.

*laughs* So you are, though I've yet to see that particular skill set.

[youngerpetrelli]

*eyebrow* Really?

*grins* You haven't exactly had a need for it. *pause* I know we regenerate and all, but can we actually get sick? I mean... other than the Shanti virus.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*eyebrow back* Really.

*shakes his head* I can't. I don't know about you. Even the Shanti virus doesn't affect me.

[youngerpetrelli]

Hmmn.

Well, then, you'll have to stub your toe really, really bad or something, or we'll have to find someone else for me to use my skills on.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*playfully hopeful*

I could pretend.

[youngerpetrelli]

*amused*

You just want me to give you a sponge bath -- I'm onto you, now.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*smirks*

I'd really rather get you in the shower with me than a sponge bath, but...

[youngerpetrelli]

*grins*

Mmmm... I think that idea's even better.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*chuckles*

I thought you might like it.

[youngerpetrelli]

*amused look*

Although you do realize, unless you slip in the shower, you have very little chance of seeing my nursing skills...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*small grin*

Well, true. But, um...I could slip in the shower!
