Hi. I'm... Dr. Spencer Reid. At home, I work with the FBI as a behavioral analyst, or profiler. I'm trying to figure out what to... do with myself here.

[ Reid is a thin, young-looking man with too-wide eyes and nearly shoulder-length unkempt hair. That combined with the cardigan, tie, and lightly patterned button-up makes him look extremely dated. It's not hard to believe him as a federal employee by clothes alone, although his age is constantly remarked upon.

He doesn't sound uncertain about addressing the wider audience of the network-- although he is, and especially about using technology this way-- but he does sound like he's choosing his words with care, enunciating clearly and with even, unhurried pacing. ]


If there's anyone that currently works for the local police, I'd like to speak with you regarding whether you think there's a use for my skills in that environment. I have done field work, but I wouldn't say it's my strong suit. Otherwise I'm considering taking up teaching at the university. I've been a TA for undergraduate classes before, although I think I'm better suited to leading graduate-level seminars. If anyone currently takes classes there, it would be helpful to hear about your experiences.

... I also noticed they're looking for librarians at the public library. Uh. I don't think that alone would keep me... sufficiently occupied, but. I could do it.

I'd like to optimize my time here by putting my skills wherever they're most needed. So I'm open to other suggestions. And-- looking for a physical therapist. And possibly an orthopedist. Thank you.

[ It cuts off abruptly. Reid can do public speaking, but it's far from his favorite past time. ]

I'm not really sure. I barely started at home and then I had to miss a lot. I was a cheerleader in high school though, so maybe I could coach that. Or something.

That is a really good idea, thank you.

Wow, you're like really smart. And I'm not being sarcastic or anything, I really appreciate the advice.

Well, maybe I'll just have to see about taking your class then.

That sounds interesting. You know, I actually know a serial killer.

It's kind of a long story, and he's supposedly reformed now. I could tell you, but you probably won't believe most of it.

That's kind of a shrink thing to say, isn't it?

Anyway, I have abilities...people where I'm from have them, different ones. And this guy I'm talking about...he'd kill people to steal their powers.

[ Claire doesn't expect him to believe any of this, but it's worth a shot. And it's interesting to talk about this with someone who might kind of understand.]

[ She doesn't understand most of the terms...but she gets enough from it to piece together more or less what he means. ]

Yeah he's...something. He murdered both of my birth parents and so many other people. Me included. Sort of. I mean I healed...but I was never the same.

I don't know what to think. I'm not sure how I can ever see him as someone other than someone who killed my parents. Someone who murdered a sixteen year old girl right in front of me.

But he...spent five years in his own head.

The other issue is that...one day it'll be just the two of us.

[ Because he has her power, and now is immortal too. Supposedly. It's not something she likes to think about. ]

If he is reformed, good for him, I guess. But it doesn't mean I want anything to do with him.
evogirl: (pic#11141322)

[personal profile] evogirl 2018-01-29 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ He has no idea how true those words are. ]

But what if we really are? The last two people...I mean.

[ Up to her. She knows that. And yet it still doesn't seem that simple to her. Still, she appreciates the advice. Reid seems like a really nice guy. And it's kind of refreshing to have someone to talk to about all this. ]

I'm not. A victim, I mean. Not anymore. I refuse to be.

[ Claire can't let that define her. She has in the past and the anger she'd felt over it was overwhelming, it nearly consumed her. ]

He thinks...we're the same. But we're not. He has so much darkness.

[ Maybe he thinks Claire can save him, that she can be his redemption. But Claire's not sure she can carry that burden. ]

Yeah, he's...well, he's Sylar. You'd have to meet him. But you really don't want to.

But thank you, for the insight. I didn't really know how to process everything.

[ And Reid's helped her, more than he knows. ]
