Notes: After Fallout, written for keep_them_safe

When I was twelve I followed my friend Mike into the walk in freezer at his grandfather’s butcher shop. It was so cold inside that I could see my breath, and my teeth were chattering after only a few minutes. Mike’s big brother dared us to see how long we could stay inside. Our lips were blue when Mike’s mom found out what we’d done, and I’d never been more grateful for a bowl of minestrone in my life.

Right now I’d kill for a bowl of that soup as the cold of the cell worked its way through my body. Every inch of my skin feels brittle, and my bones are aching not only from my fall but from the cold as well. They’ve dressed me in thin scrubs, and I’m surrounded by dirty gray walls. It’s almost like being inside of my brain. I bet this is what it’s like where I shoved Gabriel.

My powers are gone. I don’t know what they’ve done to me, but I will figure it out. I can hear them coming. The gurney they’re rolling down the hallway has a bad wheel. It squeaks and wobbles like a bad shopping cart. My guts clench up, fear spiking through me of what they’ll do to me today. Ever since Eden’s unfortunate accident they’ve taken to making sure that everything they do to me hurts.

“Get that thing down to the lab. Take him apart until you find out how he works,” I hear Bennet barking the order to his people.

The lights are flipped on, glaring white to blind me, and I’ve got to cover my face with my arms. I’m tucked into the corner of the cell, as far from the door as I can be, shivering from the pervasive cold, when they come in, dressed in their crisp lab coats while they pretend to be medical professionals.

“Get up, Gabriel.” I look from between my arms at Bennet’s glowering face. “It’s time to go.”

“Gee, Bennet,” I snap as they reach for me. Latex covered hands, getting a grip on my arms and forcing me to my feet while the sharp pain of a needle being driven into my neck makes me wince. “If I’d have known you wanted to play Doctor, I’d have shaved first.”

Prompts: Bond for charloft and 045. With his whole heart for 100_fairytales 16/100

I was free to do what I wanted, or so I thought. She promised a mother’s love, but she lied. I would have done anything for Angela if only she’d been telling the truth. She betrayed me, and that bond was broken. I was free to kill. Free to take whatever I wanted.

Another bond was the last thing I wanted when I walked into the shop and saw you there, working so hard on your watch. You asked me if I needed anything, and I realized what I needed more than anything.

I needed you, Gabriel. I needed you.

For graylikeme with love as always.

Notes: Sylar does some thinking...

I’m not sure when it dawned on me that they’ve always been watching me. I was oblivious to it when I was Gabriel of course. Back when I was a good little boy, Virginia’s angel, who would never hurt anyone I had no reason to think I was being watched. But the more I’ve learned about the Company, the more I know they were always there. Someone was always watching and waiting for me to manifest my abilities. They knew what my destiny was, and they did everything they could to make sure it happened.

When I first took over the shop, I had to fight so hard to make ends meet. I used to sleep in the back, going to my mothers to take showers at night, and then back to the shop with a book to sleep. I wasn’t destitute, but I was close to it. Every single penny mattered, and I couldn’t afford very much. I drank tea because it was cheaper than coffee, and it was easier to fix on a hot plate. I read the same books over and over again because I couldn’t afford to buy a new one. Finding a current best seller on the seat in the subway was a treasure for me back then.

Then after Chandra came to see me, that all changed. I didn’t only have Brian’s amazing power at my disposal, I suddenly had customers. People from all over New York were bringing me their clocks and watches to repair. Socialites and the upper crust came to me, looking for rare pieces and refurbished antiques like my Sylar. I was making enough money to pay mom’s rent, the shop’s, and I finally could afford my own apartment.

It wasn’t luck that brought me more customers. It was the Company. They wanted me where they could keep an eye on me. What they weren’t counting on was the nagging guilt tearing me apart for what I did to Brian. Back then I wasn’t comfortable with being a murderer the way I am now, so I decided on a different sin when I tried to kill myself. They showed their hand then when Elle came to me to play my savior. If only I’d known then what I do now, that she was a lying bitch sent by Bennet to prod me into becoming a monster like my father.

That’s the key you see. Once I found out that my real father was like me, all the pieces fell into place. The Company knew about Samson Gray. They knew what a monster he was, and they wanted me to be like him. They wanted me to be their pet killer, so they sent Elle to seduce little Gabriel. Too bad she fucked it up. As for Trevor, what a piece of shit power that was. I should have killed her instead.

But they were watching me then. They are watching me now. It doesn’t matter where I am, or what I’m doing. I’ve sought redemption. I’ve found a way to keep from killing, but for them I will always be the monster. I will always be evil. No one cares that I’ve found an outlet for my hurt and rage. No one cares that I’m not stalking the night.

I could end world hunger, but I’d still be blamed if a child lost his balloon at the circus.

I am Sylar. I am the root of all evil.

Didn’t you know that?
