“ hey, no funny business. ”

some meme i'm too lazy to find

"Funny business?" He snorted in laughter. "The only FUNNY thing here is you." The grin suddenly leaving his face. "Constantly changing your mind. Taking risks that put EVERYONE in danger."

At first, Sylar had admired Claire's brave jump, but it eventually made things worse for people like them. More and more had come out with their abilities and then when the government lost count, they were tagged or rounded up.

"Did you think of anyone but yourself and your desire to STOP HIDING?"

          Had Adam taken a moment to recall the long list of his companion in crime’s abilities, he would not have uttered those fateful words to begin with. But now, it was too late for regret as the sprinklers rained down upon the two men.

          “Next, although we cannot catch a cold, I suggest we change into dry clothes,” he replied simply, assuming the tired look on his face would convey his disappointment. Well, no one ever said the road to world domination would be an easy one. At least the alarm had been disarmed correctly. Sylar was young and hadn’t had all his powers for very long, comparably, so Adam would cut him some slack. Looking around, the most important evidence of their presence had been eaten by the flames and would be washed away by the water, so in a way, it had worked. The immortal would look on the bright side for the moment. “I suppose our next lesson will be how to disarm a sprinkler system,” he said in a playful tone as phone was taken out to view the location of the next target.

TRUTH - If somebody offered you a second chance. Like, redemption... would you take it? Why?

truth serum

The question wasn’t unreasonable, especially after all of the things he’d been through. Technically being a serial killer, the confusion of what he was suppose to be after finding out who his father was, and being stuck with Peter because of Matt.

“I’m already on it.” It was the simplest, and most honest answer. Peter had decided Sylar was worth a second chance after their time together. Claire, with some of Samuel’s help, had revealed to the world people with abilities.

Now was the best second chance he was going to get. Sylar had started his killing because he wanted to be special. Others didn’t deserve or want what they had and was the only way he knew how to get their powers.

But now? Arthur had shown him, using Elle, how to get them without killing the person. So why couldn’t he still accomplish both goals? The only thing in his way was the hunger that came with his own ability.

Sylar was learning to control that, though. Right? With Peter’s help, sure.

As for why? “Because I was wrong.” Another simple answer. What else was the serial killer suppose to say?

CLAIRE​

Claire tried not to smirk at Sylar’s curiosity. She wanted to see how far she would be able to get. She cleared her throat and put her left hand on his chest, moving in close and lowering her voice to a soft, seductive tone, “and what if I told you… my answer was yes?” she purred. 

His brows furrowed together at Claire’s reaction as a tingling sensation ran right down his spin. Clearly the answer was no and she was trying trying to see if he’d believe her. Had she forgotten about his ability to detect a lie? Maybe the blonde didn’t even know he had it. 

Another moment passed. SLOWLY. 

“Nevermind.” He took a step back and telekinetically grabbed the knife she dropped, not wanting her to try stabbing him again so soon.

“...”

Hallucination? Perhaps. There was no way she's ACTUALLY forced her way into the building with all the security. Not to mention the Company wasn't exactly easy going on anyone with an ability. Not unless you worked for them and even then it was debatable.

But the serial killer was too drugged to care either way. He’d take a chance at escaping the next time they let him out.

He pressed his lips together tightly to keep from laughing, even though the comment was also irritating. It was just the type of thing Faith would say to him. sarcasm clear in her tone. It was also ironic give how much the brunette liked to hit things herself.

"Who am I, the Hulk?"

PETER

Whatever person Peter Petrelli had been before he exploded was gone. He hasn’t cared about anything for along time and it was obvious to everyone around him. The scar on his face was proof that he shouldn’t have survived. It wasn’t fair that he was still here and a monster had taken Nathan’s place. It took Peter an embarrassing amount of time to finally realize that the person posing as his brother wasn’t even Nathan at all. And once he did, he was furious. He had to go after him and here he was. He tilted his head, glaring down Sylar.

“You don’t get to ask me that.” @sylaar​​

His grin was wide and full of amusement at the other man’s reply. He’d expected something like this. The BITTER version of Peter was at least mildly more interesting than the boy scout. At least he was more rough around the edges and willing to get dirty. So to speak. 

The serial killer watched Peter intently, eyes only just narrowed as if observing the other man for the slightest change in demeanor. Without missing a beat, Sylar changed into Nathan, his expression becoming more serious. 

“C’mon, Pete. Don’t you care about your brother?”

“Next time...you're on your own.” This situation was beyond irritating. She'd tried to kill him, assuming the serial killer was some demon, which was hilarious in and of itself, and now he was saving her from one.

When would people learn?

“But...” His mind was racing. How could one of his heroes, his IDOLS not believe in what they were doing? What was Gabriel suppose to do with this information? People always said, enver meet your heroes and clearly they were right. But at the same time, maybe there was a reason the other man didn’t believe. Maybe it had to do with being frozen for 70 years. 

The watchmaker shook his head and just stared at Cap, eyes darting over the other man as he wiped the shield clean. “How--” It took Gabriel a minute to wrap his mind around this and get the words out. 

“WHY?” Perhaps he sounded like a fool, but the watchmaker had to know the answer. Sure, he had always wanted his own life to be different, wanted to be special. But to not believe in what you were doing was different. Why both doing it at all? The questions kept popping into Gabriel’s head and he had to stop himself from blurting them all out at once.

@unrequiredtalents

Had Peter really been stupid enough to believe that Nathan would have done or said all of the things Sylar had when posing as him? It didn't surprise the man. Peter had become cold and bitter, but that was likely due to the guilt he had for blowing up half is New York. Maybe if that weren't the case, the boy scout would have paid more attention.

Still, Sylar couldn't help but find the situation amusing. It had been FIVE YEARS. The serial killer had been President. That wasn't a thing to be taken lightly. And if that peaks Hiro from the past hadn't shown up, his plans would have gone smoothly.

“Did you stop caring or not notice?” Sylar's tone was full of curiosity with a hint of sarcasm. How far had Peter gone to ignore the rest of the world? He used to be a HERO. Went out of his way to protect Claire thinking it would save the world. Yet here they were.
