Comment here to find out what Sylar really thinks of your character. The truth, I mean, not just what he'd tell you, and not just what he thinks he thinks.

Date: 2008-08-27 05:49 am (UTC)Whether Adam is secretly manipulating Sylar into liking him so he has some form of defense if the time comes when he’s under attack, or if he just plain likes Sylar for being more accepting than most on the case of murder, even I don’t know that. It’s probably both. Like friends with superpower-involved benefits.
He respects Sylars need for privacy, just as he likes his own. Doesn’t force him in any particular direction, because he’s realized by now that Sylar is not the type to be pushed without extreme retaliation. He’ll attempt to influence certain ways of thought though, no doubt, if it’ll benefit him, or both of them, or the general population in the end.
Adam hasn’t lied to him yet, because Sylar would know, and while that creeps him out, an angry-at-being-lied-to Sylar is sometimes worse than the truth. So there’s a certain amount of
fearwariness there.And even though he won’t outright lie to Sylar, he’s not going to tell him everything. Like how he’s already read his file from the Company, knows about Brian Davis and Chandra, and his real name, all that fun stuff. Burned the file of course, but if Sylar hasn’t yet told him about any of those things, it’s no doubt a touchy subject, and he won’t intrude on it. After all, he already knows, so letting Sylar think Adam trusts him enough to not know anything about him is great for both of them. So long as he doesn’t find out.
If Sylar did pick team Petrelli as opposed to him… I don’t think he’d use either of those things against him, and rather point out the bad things about the Petrelli’s. You can’t win someone over if they’re psychotic and angry at you.
And he certainly won’t try to save Sylar, because he hates it when that’s done to him. There’s a mutual level of understanding on the I like who I am right now, thank you level.
Adam is lonely. Very much so, as much as he wouldn’t admit it. He’s used to being alone, but that doesn’t mean he finds it enjoyable. So Sylar’s company, since it was the first since the virus was released? Extremely welcome.
And yes, he still finds it a shame Mohinder would probably be appalled at the idea of a threesome.In a selfish way, he’d let Sylar tinker around in his head if it meant Sylar would be immortal with him. Then they really WOULD be best friends forever, key word being forever.
But being immortal isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, as he already knows. And if Sylar loves someone, which Adam doesn’t know if it’s real love or just protective lust just yet, then really, immortality is one of the worst things you can have. Because you’ll watch them grow old and die, and you can’t join them. You can delay it for them, but even then, it’s not a permanent solution. So he’s not letting him copy his ability for HIS benefit. And because he’s sort of anxious about having him poke around his brain.
If Sylar was to ever ask Adam for help or something, himself or Mohinder mortally wounded or whatever, premature their time, then he’d certainly help. Really, at this stage in the game, he’d probably help anyone, because their survival is necessary to Adam’s plans.
Adam will occasionally act strangely in front of Sylar, because Sylar’s really the only one he can be like that in front of. With Monica and Angela it’s all ‘letz get down to biznezz.’ But Sylar’s the only one who will meet with him for the sheer sake of company. And also because well, Adam’s gone a little nuts because of what happened to Hiro, he’s a little less caring about some things like keeping up appearances of sanity, when said company’s sanity is also questionable.
And maybe one day, Adam will probably tell Sylar his stories, because the only one who’s listened to them before would probably be Elle during those days at the Company. Who probably would shock him if she didn’t like how they ended.
…Yeeeep. XD Totally wrote this out of order and pasted it all together, so if anything doesn’t make sense… My bad.
