watson_ofarkham1. I wish I hadn't gone to the police when Sylar called before the Kirby Plaza fiasco. Perhaps that's foolish of me, perhaps he would have continued using me for his own personal gain, but maybe not. Maybe the last few years would have played out entirely differently if I'd showed an instant of compassion. Think how many lives could have been saved if I'd been able to put aside my hurt and fear and anger.
2. I wish I hadn't gone to work for the Company. I'm not entirely sure how much that would have changed, for better or for worse, but at least I wouldn't have had to do any of the terrible things they asked of me.
3. A part of me wishes I hadn't sent Molly away after Sylar attacked the lot of us at our home, but at the same time ... if things had continued to progress as they did in spite of whether or not I sent her away, I'm not sure I would have wanted Molly around for that. God only knows if she would have ended up cocooned to the wall in the loft and how much more irreparable our relationship would be now if I'd hurt her.
4. I wish I'd never gone to Pinehearst. It was, in the end, in my best interests -- who knows what state I'd be in if it hadn't been for Arthur Petrelli finding the catalyst -- but it was a desperate time riddled with desperate measures, all of which I regret immensely.
5. I wish I'd hadn't ignored Bennet when he told me the hammer was about to fall for all of us. If I hadn't, I could have warned some of the others. It wouldn't have prevented anything Nathan did, of course, but perhaps we could have gotten away to safety.
6. I wish I'd never gone to see Joseph Sullivan at that carnival of his. Spending weeks in a mental institution solely because of what came from a total fifteen minutes of conversation is not my idea of a good time. Nor is the alternative Hiro thought he was protecting me from.
