Unlike the other day, he had been given a little more freedom. They had switched him from the IVs to the pills, and no longer kept him strapped down on the bed, unable to move. He wondered if this was a good sign or not. It was hard to tell. But still, even getting up and moving about was a nice liberty to have back to himself. You never realize how much you enjoy doing something that simple until you're no longer able to do it.

His shirt had been replaced with a plain white t-shirt, and the doctors had given an injection of something that had healed up all the burn marks she had left on him. It was strange how they seemed determined to keep him in a healthy condition. It made him weary. Did they have some sort of plan for him? Why else would they be keeping such good care over a serial killer? It didn't make sense.

As he paced the tiny cell he was kept it his eyes occasionally flickered over to the glass. Would she come visit him again like she had implied? Not that it mattered.He was simply...curious, that's all. And if he was going to be stuck in this place, it was nice to have someone to talk to at times, even if it was her.

The only other people who came in were the doctors, and they were just doing their work. Nothing more, nothing less. Some company would be nice.

He smirked a little as their sparks intermingled with one another. Inwardly, he was relieved that he wouldn't have to kill her to get her power.

After a few moments he let his hand drop to his side. "We should probably move on before someone finds us lingering in here"

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," she said, getting up quickly and heading for the door. "We need to sneak up on Eden so she can't open her big fat mouth." She paused momentarily and looked back. "Should we give him his skull back?"

She tilted her head in contemplation at Adam--so, she liked to kill him a lot, but... that didn't mean she didn't like him a little. He could be fresh with her, but she sort of admired that about him.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

Sylar shrugged his shoulders lightly in response. He grabbed the man's skull, placing it on his head again. He watched with fascination as the skin sewed together again. Such a special gift.

He then turned and made his way to the door, standing next to Elle. "So where do you think we'll be able to find this Eden person?" He asked with a title of his head.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She realized leaving Adam to heal up with the door open is just another line on the list of reasons Daddy is going to not be pleased, but she's just still mentally making the list for old time's sake. Plus, after everything, Adam deserves some freedom.

And Eden. Oh, Eden. Prissy holier-than-thou bitch. She not exactly sure where to find Eden--maybe still snooping around Isaac Mendez's empty room and crying into his sheets, now that he's gone? Elle doesn't really have a specific reason she hates Eden, other than she just does. There's something so condescending about her soft voice; she hates the way Eden talks to her. Like she's a fragile stupid little girl.

She finds herself dearly looking forward to watching her die.

"Maybe in her room," she says, and heads that way, checking corners and holding out a hand to stop Sylar from following her into the room. She gives him a pointed look and knocks, waiting for the door to open.

It does, hiding Sylar from view. Eden's wide eyes find hers, and then flash with surprise at the blood all over her.

Elle immediately starts crying. "He got out! He's gone! Daddy's going to kill me!" She starts shaking, laying it on thick, and grabs Eden's arms and drags her out, the smaller girl's back facing Sylar.

"Elle, calm down," Eden says soothingly, in that voice--but honestly Elle is totally calm and it doesn't do much.

She drops her shoulders anyway and gulps in air, slowing her tears.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

Sylar couldn't help but smirk proudly as he watched it unfold. Elle was a good actress. Well, he had already known that from his previous encounters with her, but still. It was hard not to recognize it again right now.

His smirk only widens more as she brings out Eden. Excellent. He brings a hand up and flings Eden into the wall, pining her there. He blinked for a moment, approaching her carefully, his voice darkening.

"I recoginize you. You lived near Chandra, didn't you?"

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"Don't let her speak!" Elle shouted in alarm--god, was he dense or something? She distracted the bitch for a reason.

Eden ignored his question. "You're not going to kill me," she said, persuasive in more ways than one, her eyes steeled with surety.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

Sylar smirked broadly. For whatever reason, her power didn't have any effect on him. "You see," He drawled quietly, taking a step closer to her now. He felt practically giddy about her power. Today was Christmas for him. And to think, it was all thanks to Elle. "You could have stopped me. You, Chandra, you knew what I was becoming, and you didn't do anything about it. In a way, you helped me become what I am now."

He stopped infront of her, bringing a hand up to make his signature cut. "But now, with your power you'll be able to help me even more." And without anything else said, began cutting into her skull.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She felt relief tinged with a bit of curiosity that he was unfazed by Eden's power, but his words struck her--not harder, but deeper than her fear.

She'd helped too. It made her feel a little sick--it could easily be her up against that wall, screaming as he sliced into her skull. But it wasn't.

Was it so bad, she thought? She felt a little sick, but also a little... thankful. That despite what had come to pass, they'd still found each other, and now there was no lies between them. She wasn't going to mess up again.

Did he think it was so bad? Or was he torn, like she was? In the end, she supposed, it didn't matter. As long as they were together.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

In the long run, he almost didn't care. After all, he rather liked who he was now. Powerful, special in a way he probably never could have been as Gabriel. But he couldn't help taunting his prey, and that had seemed to be the best route to get to Eden. He remembered seeing her around Chandra's alot, which meant she probably was close to the man.

He wasn't even aware of Elle's fear or discomfort as he knelt down next to Eden's corpse, pulling the skull off before he started the process of once again going through the brain. And then there was the signature shudder when he found what he was looking for.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She stepped closer as he searched Eden's brain and frowned at her dead body. She could have enjoyed that more, she decided, if she hadn't been thinking so much.

She watched, for the third time, as he searched for that spot with crimson hands--layers and layers of dried blood starting to cake on his palms. She decided as much as she appreciated Eden was dead and gone, she appreciated this much more.

She bit her lip, felt her heart pick up as he shuddered, and she fell to her knees beside him, leaning in to feel the last of the shiver against her lips. She tasted the line of his pulse and nuzzled into his neck with a content (not to mention aroused) sigh.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He groaned softly as he felt her nuzzle against him. He never imagined he would enjoy having someone at his side as much as this. Especially her. And yet, without her help, he wouldn't have any of these new powers, including hers, which he still had no idea how he took. So perhaps change was a good thing in this case.

He placed a bloody hand on her chin tilting it up as he shifted to face her. And without a moment of hesistation he captured her lips with his own. There were so many things he wanted to do with her, to her, but it would have to wait until they got out of here. For now, this would have to be enough.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She melted at his reaction, arms wrapping around his neck to cling to him as his lips pressed slid against her own. She thought fleetingly about pushing him to the ground and doing all the things she wanted to do with him, right then and there, but knew it wouldn't be prudent. Instead she made due and threw herself into the kiss, parting her lips and tugging slow and hard at his hair.

She let a spark pass between their moving lips, giggling softly as it burned him.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He winced a little bit at the spark, pulling away slightly as his lips began to knit back together. "That hurt," He murmured softly, though mostly just stating a fact more than anything else. He was in altogether too much of a good mood to complain.

He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers again, his hands resting at her hips as he pulled her closer to him. He parted his lips to bite down on hers, grinning slightly to himself as he tasted the soft tange of blood briefly brush against his tongue...and then. He blinked in confusion and pulled away, bringing a finger up to brush against her lips.

"It worked," He murmured reverently. "You healed."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"Huh?" It took her a moment to process his words, too concentrated on the sharp pain of his bite and the warmth of his body--but he was right--where the pain had been there was nothing now, just the coppery taste of lingering blood.

Her eyes widened, and she touch her lips, pulling back her hand once, twice, three times before she could understand it wasn't damaged in the slightest.

"Holy shit," she murmured, and flicked her eyes to his in disbelief and excitement. "Do it again. Hurt me."

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He smirked broadly at her command. "That I can do." And without hesistating at all he leaned in to press his lips against her neck. He lingered there for a moment, licking the skin before biting down hard enough to break the skin. He lapped at the blood before pulling away, his dark eyes fixated on the healing skin.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She arced her neck to the side and sucked in a breath she gasped out, loud and pleased, when his soft lips and licking tongue shivered her spine. Her whole body tensed as his teeth bit down suddenly, and she grabbed fistfuls of his shirt and bucked against him, mouth opening in exquisite pain.

His tongue stroked the cuts, and she dropped her head to his shoulder, nose skimming his neck as he pulled away. She reached to touch the broken skin with her fingertips, her surprise transforming into a grin as she felt it close and heal.

It had worked, but Elle suspected the gift wasn't from Adam at all, at least not directly. Sylar had shared this with her.

Her breath went shallow and she met his eyes. "Do it again," she ordered mischievously, but not because she wanted more proof.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"You know," He chided in a teasing voice, his warm breath blowing against her skin. "If we get too carried away, someone might find us and catch us off guard before we can escape."

Not that he was too worried about it. The fact that she was healing...well, it was proof enough that neither one of them were in real danger anymore. Unless that Haitian person showed up. That could be a problem, but even with that, he wasn't too worried one way or another.

His teeth sank into her skin once more and he let out a muffled groan at the action. As the familiar coppery taste of blood hit his tongue he couldn't help but grin to himself. They could have so much...fun together now without any worries over permanent damage.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She cradled his head as he compiled to her wish, gasping again through a spreading smile. "Yes," she murmured, only partly in response to his words, and dug her nails into his shoulders, breaking the skin as he did hers. She let her lips rest above his collarbone. "Wouldn't want to get carried away..."

She wasn't that worried either.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He hissed softly into her skin as her nails dug into him, causing a beautiful pain to pass through him before it healed.

"That would be bad..." He murmured softly before he began trailing small kisses and bites up her neck, across her jawline until he finally captured her lips with his own once more.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She gave his shoulders a part-encouraging and part-demanding tug, returning the kiss with fervor and leaning back to lie down. The floor was cool against her back and his weight was comfortably heavy despite how big he was compared to her. "I think we could chance it for a little while..."

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

As she lied down he climbed ontop of her, swinging a leg over each side so that he was straddling her. If they continued much longer, he didn't think he was going to be able to control himself. But on the other hand, the place seemed mostly deserted, other than Eden's corpse which was a few feet away from them still.

His hands, caked with dry blood, moved down her body before finally resting at her hips. He looked down at her, a grin playing on his lips as he did so.

"Is that an open invitation?"

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"I bet you'd like it to be," she teased, and arced a little against him, returning his grin with a mischievous one of her own.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"And what if I took it as one?" He asked, tilting his head in a cocky fashion. He brought one of his knees up to playfully tease between her legs.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She held her breath a little at his movement, and brought her own knee up to lean against his waist, unable to stop her hips from moving towards him. "I guess you'd find out," she continued coyly, dragging one finger down his chest, as far as it would go.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He couldn't help but groan softly as she moved against him. "I suppose I might have to take a risk then," He mused, his dark eyes raking over her body. Even though he knew they still had things to do, like destroy the videotapes of his murders, it was hard to deny how much he wanted her right now.
