Frustration at being sidelined

[gabriel_gray]

You can do better than this. What? You don't believe me? Give me something to do, and I'll show you how easily I can get under your skin. How I can get under anyone's skin if I want to. Senator Petrelli doesn't hold a candle to me; isn't it about time you put him back in cold storage and let the better actor take over as your leading man?

No?

Well, let's see if I can't convince you to change your mind.

[ Sylar may not respond as himself. He's feeling mercurial, he can shape-shift, and combined they can be rather explosive. Apologies in advance. ]

Maybe there's a good reason you got benched.

[anewgod]

Such desperation for attention.

[gabriel_gray]

Now that isn't very nice, is it?

[askedtobe]

Didn't exactly think you'd like what I had to say any more than if I lied about it.

[graymorality]

I didn't think you were the sort of man that actually resorted to whining, Gabriel.

[foresaw]

You never got under mine. [ Not really, anyway. It never had much to do with you, Sylar old pal. ]

[timeisonmyside]

Welcome to bench warming.

[gabriel_gray]

What happened to that sweet little hospice nurse I used to know?

Oh, right. I killed his brother.

[gabriel_gray]

You wouldn't think it to look at me, but I'm something of a diva.

[askedtobe]

You never knew me, Sylar. It took you getting inside of Nathan's head to even come close to it.

[gabriel_gray]

Even men of action such as ourselves need a moment now and then to get it out of our systems. Besides, you've had your moments too; you shouldn't condemn me for mine.

[gabriel_gray]

I got under your skin better than most. Literally.

[anewgod]

You will not find me disagreeing. Do you a think a tantrum will get you back in your mun's favor?

[gabriel_gray]

You're wrong. We understood each other from the moment we met. I saw right through you.

[gabriel_gray]

Not much of a welcome.

[foresaw]

Literally. But you weren't talking literally just now, were you?

[graymorality]

And you shouldn't take everything as simple accusation. I was just... pointing it out to you, making you more aware. Whining never really got anyone anywhere, now did it, or maybe I missed that class in Parenting 101.

[askedtobe]

So you keep telling yourself.

[gabriel_gray]

And good riddance to bad rubbish.

[gabriel_gray]

It's true. You're just afraid to admit it. How terrible it would be if we really were the same, after all...

[gabriel_gray]

I'm here aren't I? Then I'm doing something right.

[gabriel_gray]

You didn't go to Parenting 101.

[gabriel_gray]

I can be if I feel like it.

But there's plenty of opportunity to make up for lost time.

[gabriel_gray]

Noah? Is that really you?

[timeisonmyside]

Well, it's the best one you're going to get.

Tell me more how you're better than this Nate guy while you're getting picked last in this little game.
