heroslayerIt had all gone according to plan. Well, mostly.
While, true, he hadn't been expecting Elle to come flying through the door of Suresh's workshop and try to kill him, he'd still made his escape. He'd lived. He'd managed to protect the case with the vial of the cheerleader's blood, even as he'd gone through the glass. And, though an alley just blocks from that whole mess hadn't exactly been his idea of the best place to reclaim what the Company had taken from him, it was enough. He had his powers back. That was all that mattered and hitches in the plan were the least of his concerns.
Or so he thought.
Sylar hadn't been expecting them to coming looking for him. Not so soon, he'd thought, as the Company had miles of red tape and rules and regulations concerning this sort of thing. And they wouldn't dare, not when the electric bitch ran home and told them he'd reclaimed his Godly mantle. They had seen what he'd done to Bennet and his doctor friend. They wouldn't risk it, and as such, he hadn't so much as turned his head to see who was coming down the alley.
He should have. If he had, he might have seen Elle. As it was, however, all he managed was a flash of blonde hair, the scent of ozone, and a roll of thunder. His vision went blurry as she hit him the first time, and then black as she struck him again. And when he came to, it was a nightmare made real.
The cell was too familiar, all white-gray walls and confining space. They'd taken his clothing, replaced it a standard issue t-shirt and pants and nothing more. They hadn't even bothered with shoes. Too dangerous, as he might use them as a weapon to break the glass of the observation window that sat just inches from the bed. Ridiculous, since when he'd pulled Eden through that very same glass last time, he'd been fairly sure nothing short of a bullet would have pierced it, but he understood.
He understood all too well that he was the Company's prisoner. Again.
Raising a hand to the glass, he pushed every violent thought in his head - and there were so many of them - in the direction of the window, willing it to shatter. Nothing happened. He'd been expecting as much, but it didn't stop some bastard child of panic and rage from uncoiling in the pit of his stomach. He'd just gotten his powers back. This wasn't fair. He'd kill them all, the second he was out of here, just to prove a point. But first, he was intent on slamming his mind up against the glass again and again until mental exertion and lack of a result made him dizzy.
He didn't know how they were doing it. There were no IVs this time and he didn't feel as physically ill as he had when they'd given him the virus. He didn't know, but it didn't matter. He'd just wait until someone came along to see him, and then he'd break out and he'd make everything fine again.
And that in mind, he settled down on the slab of the bed they'd given him, pulled his knees up to his chest, and watched the door.

Date: 2008-08-01 09:24 pm (UTC)"You'll never sway me." He growled, but there was something new in his eyes. Something he hoped Sylar would pick up on.
There, in the look he gave Sylar, was the unwritten conversation. The plea to let him see that he was lying, that he couldn't be so brazen in such a high security cell. There would doubtless be at least three people watching them on CCTV as they spoke.

Date: 2008-08-01 09:42 pm (UTC)"I'll kill her first, Mohinder," he announced, a small, hazy smile curling his lips. Despite his bravado, the drugs were clearly slowing him down. "Molly. She'll be so useful. I won't need your List. I won't need you."
Sylar put his hands to the glass, here, in such a way it was hard to tell whether he was reaching for him in futility or trying to support himself. He never took his eyes off the geneticist, though, and the expression he was wearing came through loud and clear. Let me out and I'll let her live, Mohinder.

Date: 2008-08-01 11:59 pm (UTC)And then, he nodded. The smallest of movements, but another sign to Sylar that he'd made up his mind.
They were going to do it, break out. Together.

Date: 2008-08-02 12:08 am (UTC)He didn't know why Suresh had agreed, beyond the obvious consequences that came attached to his threats, but there seemed to be something more here. Something he was missing. Something he had no doubts hinged on the darkness in the geneticist's eyes, but he couldn't begin to comprehend what. It was slightly annoying - he liked to think he knew Mohinder more intimately than anyone, considering their history - but he could live with it. If Suresh was going to spring him, he could bottle his curoisity for the time being.
"Maybe I will," he answered, finally, taking a step back from the glass.

Date: 2008-08-02 10:32 pm (UTC)Then he stepped away from the window, finally breaking eye contact. There was nothing more that he could have done, right then. He just had to get back to his job, and hatch a plan.
Because, for better or for worse, he had made up his mind. He was going to set Sylar free.
