Me too. But that's exactly the thing. It's emotionally driven, and even now I still haven't necessarily gotten control of it. Someone might get hurt some time. It could happen.
... Well, you're in luck there. I'm already working on a band for someone who wants his pyrokinesis blocked. So making something for you shouldn't be too hard.
Practice? And - well, I have more trouble when it's something I haven't built myself. But if I built a receiver that small that can interact with them... Maybe then.
[ But when has that stopped Hiro? Never. He sounds more determined and fascinated than put off by the prospect of doing real harm. ]
I mean, the nanites are what give us our powers in the first place? And they speed up our healing. So in theory, if you can directly control 'em, you could do anything with your body. Wouldn't that be worth trying?
[ It sounds too matter or fact. It's a slither of Sylar. He'd rather not depend on nanomachines to alter himself, and he doesn't have to. ]
But I mean, if they heal us they might do the opposite too. They might be holding back diseases or temporal disruption or--anything, really. Maybe we need them, and the healing is just a side effect.
Well I'm not as busy as we used to be, but all I had to do is hold out. A lot of the other repair shops have closed up in Brooklyn, but people still need their timepieces repaired.
It's not that impressive, I know. It's not like being a neurosurgeon, or something.
[ He's a polite enough kid to not just blurt out what he really thinks, at least. Buuuut he's not quite polite enough to keep it out of his tone. It's kinds of "you poor bastard." ]
I guess if it's Brooklyn you might get enough customers to do okay... Or maybe if you got customers online too.
We haven't really expanded in that direction. But there's a lot of local antiques traders who use me, and watches have been a must have accessory of the rich for a long time. It puts food on the table, anyway, and I enjoy the work.

[ He's seen how little his brother has been sleeping lately. ]
I might even be able to change it for you. To something you can use.

[ Almost, but not quite. That's a hard limit on size and complexity - not that Hiro knows it yet. ]

Maybe. But that's what experimenting is for. To find out that kind of thing.

You won't have to do that much longer. I'll make sure of it.
