The time spent in the Texas branch of Primatech had not been completely without merit. He had picked up alot of important information while they ran their tests on him, not the least of it being the address of the Cheerleader.

He would have escaped sooner if that stupid girl, Eden, hadn't shot herself. Still, her presence had made his mind wander back to someone else he had known back when he was still Gabriel, a name he heard repeated threw the walls a few times:

Elle Bishop.

The facts he gathered were simple enough. She was an agent and worked at the facility in New York. Which was where he headed as soon as he got out (which took alot longer than he liked. He had almost died in there). Especially with Claire's father being an agent, he had a feeling having an agent on his side would help.

And if it didn't, well then he could finally kill the bitch, which he would do eventually either way.

Breaking into the building was surprisingly simple. A few agents tried to stop him, but he killed them, and got the information on where to find what he was looking for. Who he was looking for. She was just an ends to a means, of course. There was no other reason for him coming to get Elle.

He twisted his hand, ripping open the door for her bedroom before stalking his way inside. He could hear the alarms going off, and they were probably calling out more agents to come after him. The sooner he got out, the better.

"Thanks, but I can entertain myself," she retorted, wrapping her hand around the knob. She twisted it out of curiosity. He hadn't been lying; it wasn't locked. "I'd like to go now," she said sweetly, patiently.

"And I'd like alot of things, but it doesn't mean it's going to happen," He mused with a smirk. Not that he couldn't take more drastic means to keep her here, if he had to, but he was enjoying himself at the moment.

"Like your creepy obsession of keeping me with you?" she inquired swiftly, and tugged at the open door.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He rolled his eyes at that comment. "I'm not obsessed. And I don't think you really think I'm all that creepy."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"If you're not obsessed," she challenged knowingly, raising her brows and crossing her arms, "let me go."

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"I didn't go through all that trouble to get you just to let you go. If I did, then I would have just wasted my time with all this. I don't waste my time," he countered in a matter of fact voice.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She rolled her eyes in exasperation and moved her hands back to her hips, pointing her nose in the air. "Just be a big boy and admit you kidnapped me because you still want me."

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He rolled his eyes. "That wasn't the only reason." He replied stubbornly. At this point, he knew it would be a moot point to deny that he wanted her at all. That option had sailed as soon as he had kissed her last night.

But he wasn't too worried about it, really.

"It so was," she argued defiantly. "Noah may be hard to get past, but he's still human. You don't need inside information to snap his neck." Elle failed to see the logic in his reasoning. Plus, the idea he kidnapped her just for her was kind of flattering and romantic. She liked that idea, and she was sticking to it.

"I do when he brings that friend of him who makes my powers a moot point," He argued back firmly. And it was true. If it hadn't been for Eden and the other guy, they probably never would have captured him in the first place.

He paused for a moment, bringing a hand up to cup her face. "I will admit though, having you to myself is a definite bonus."

If she were to say his touch and words didn't soften her, she would have been lying. She pouted a little, lowered her head enough to look up at him through her lashes. "I'm useless against the Haitian, too."

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"Except that you know he and Bennett work. How I can work around them to get to her, don't you see what a good asset you could be to me?" He asked softly, brushing his thumb against her cheek.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

Of course she was useful. But she was still wary of his flattery; after all she rarely got any and it usually came with strings. "You could have just asked nicely in the first place," she said. "I don't even like the cheerleader much."

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"How was I supposed to know just asking would work?" He countered with a raised brow. "I had no reason to believe you would willingly help me."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"You had no reason to believe I wouldn't," she said matter of factly. "I thought you had manners. Chivalry is dead," she sighed tiredly.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"What can I say?" He asked with a smirk and a shrug of his shoulders. "I prefer to just take what I want instead of asking, these days."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"I guess you wanted me really bad," she teased, leaning forward with a smirk.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He smirked back, leaning in as well. "I guess so."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"I guess I'll stay then," she quipped decidedly, and slipped from his fingers, flouncing back into the room. She grabbed her coffee and plopped on the bed, sipping it.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"Good, certainly makes things easier on me," He murmured, grabbing his own coffee now before sitting down on the other bed. Inwardly, he was more than just a little relieved she was staying.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"Is this what you do all day?" she asked, looking around the drab walls, unimpressed. And she wanted to fill the suddenly awkward silence.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"No," He replied, taking another sip of coffee. "Usually I head out and drive toward whatever target I'm going after at the time."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"That's your only hobby?" Elle said in disbelief--well, perhaps she believed it. It wasn't as if she hadn't read his file since the night in Queens. He'd been a busy bee since then.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"For the most part," He shrugged his shoulders. "I have to keep on the move anyways. I do spend time testing out the new powers though."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

A suffering sigh passed her lips. Elle got up to walk across the room and then turn towards him, as if suddenly feeling the walls limiting the small room. And she was, really, for whatever reality that metaphor applied to. "You don't go new places, see new things, go to the movies, watch television, play with yourself?" she ventured. Maybe Elle lived in a prison, but that sounded more boring than any of the prisons she'd ever been to.
