It had been a long and rather annoying process, getting his body back. Longer than he would have liked. More than anything, he just wanted to kill Matt Parkman, make him stay in his stupid head of his for so long. Sylar wasn't the type who liked confinement. In fact, he was exactly the opposite. He needed freedom. The ability to do what he wanted, take what he wanted. Parkman would pay for keeping him from it.

But there was something he needed to do first. Being with Parkman's wife had reminded him how much he missed Elle. He hated admitting to needing or wanting anyone, but if there was one thing he regretted, it was killing her.

He could fix that now. He had heard of this kid who could control life and death. Bennet had helped give him a new life. But that wasn't going to last long. Soon enough, Sylar found Jeremy and killed him (but not before noting how eeringly the kid looked like Luke. Weird). He dug around his brains and found what he was looking for. That delicious power.

Next stop was Costa Verde. He assumed Elle's corpse had to still be there. After all, where else would it have gone? He searched the newspapers until he read about a unidentified burnt corpse that was found the beach. He noted where she was buried and set off.

He was excited, he had to admit, to see her again. It didn't even cross his mind that she might be mad at him. After all, sure, he killed her, but he was bringing her back. That's what mattered, right? That's the way he saw it, anyways.

He found her grave and used his telekinesis to move the soil away, popping open the casket. He kneeled beside her, placing his hands on her burnt remains, focusing on restoring it to it's former glory. He found himself smirking as her body knit back together.

He was going to get her back, and then together they could kill Parkman. What could be better?

She huffed and faced her head forward, making a dainty little sniff and sitting still. She didn't actually expect him to help her without an attitude, and now she didn't know what to say. Besides a snippy, "be careful."

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"I'm always careful," Came his simple replied. He could have given her a fuss about helping her, but he knew that the more things he did like this without a fight, the more likely he would be able to win her back more quickly. So for now he focused on working through her hair, carefully untangling one chunk at a time.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"Except for when you decided I'm better off dead," she hissed back, flushing with anger. She wasn't going to be even a little nice to him, even if he was doing something nice for her. Who said he brought her back because he had a moment of regret? He probably just wanted something from her. Okay, so Elle couldn't understand what that could possibly be, but she didn't care either way.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"It was a mistake," He murmured softly, in a barely audible tone. "It wasn't until recently that I even knew of a way to bring you back." He liked to think he would have done it sooner, had he known about Jeremy and his power sooner. But who knew? It would have been nice to have her when he met his real father, or when his body freaked out on him from the shape shifting. She never would have let them take his body away from him.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She sucked in a deep breath, the inhale straightening her spine. It didn't matter, even if something abhorrent inside of her warmed. He still did it in the first place. "How long was I dead?" she asked, her voice laced with acid, just to show him she didn't care.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"About six months or so," He admitted with a shrug, working out more of the knots. Her hair was beginning to look better now. "So not that long, really." He didn't mention how much of those months were spent not even in his own body. Not yet anyways.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

An unimpressed scoff pushed through her nose, her hands folded nicely in her lap as she rolled her eyes. "What, did you get bored? Horny?" she asked snidely, trying to stab his heart. "I hope you don't think I'm actually staying with you."

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"If I was just horny, there are plenty of other women I could screw," He snapped in annoyance, pulling a little harder at her hair as he undid a particularly difficult tangle. "And where will you go? Do you really like I'll just let you leave?"

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She let out a short cry, and reached back to shove him with a harsh glower, annoyed that she couldn't shock him, because she was soaked. "You're never touching me again," Elle hissed. "And I'm leaving whether you like it or not."

Maybe it was playing with fire, telling him she was going to leave, but she couldn't stop the spitting words. She wanted to hurt him.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He hissed in pain as he fell back down onto the tile, his head hitting the floor. "I'll touch you if I want to," He snarled, getting back up into a sitting position. As if to prove his point, he went back to working on the last of her tangles. "And if you leave, I'll just find you again."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"Ha!" she fake laughed with a sneer, smirking at his pain. "It's cute you think so. I guess your life is going to be frustrating from here on out," she quipped, letting him go back to her hair. He could fix it, because she'd asked him to, and then he could keep his dirty hands to himself.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"Believe me, Elle, if I want to find you, I will, and that's not a threat," He hissed, working out the last of her tangles. "That's a promise." He wanted her, it was true. And he always got what he wanted, in the long run.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She shivered at his dark words, and pushed herself up quickly whether he was finished or not. Her teeth were clenched together hard with a rush of indignation at his surety, and she pushed viciously past him into the bed room, grabbing a towel along the way and wrapping it under her arms.

It didn't matter if he was right, and he would always find her. She would just keep running, and Elle was pretty sure she was more persistent than he was. Easy as pie.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He fell against the floor once more, growling in annoyance. He was getting tired of these little temper tantrums of hers. He got up onto his feet once more, following her back into the bedroom.

If she insisted on running, she would learn soon enough just how persistent he could be. He didn't let go of things that belonged to him.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

He just killed them and left them to rot, as Elle knew well enough. She spun around to face him, pointing her nose up at him snottily. "I need clothes," she whined.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He made his way over to his bag where he kept his clothes. He handed her a shirt and a pair of sweat pants. "These will probably be big on you, but it'll have to do until I can take you out shopping." In retrospect, he should have bought some clothes for her ahead of time, but oh well. She probably would hate whatever he picked out anyways.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She grabbed them, threw the wet towel carelessly, rudely into his face, and started to dress. They were big--the shirt practically ate her, and the sweatpants were so big she just left them on the floor before jumping on the bed and reaching for the remote, ignoring him completely.

The television clicked on with the sound of static, and she put on The Simpsons, laying on her tummy and resting her chin in her hands. "You're in the way," she said shortly.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

He frowned in annoyance, his hands clenched at his side as he made his way to sit on the other side of the bed now. He wasn't going to lash out at her, no matter how much of a brat she acted like. That's just what she expected him to do, he was sure.

He rolled his eyes as she turned on the tv. He hated shows like The Simpsons. They were idiotic.

"I thought you said you were tired"

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't tired, I was dead," she scoffed, reaching back for a pillow to rest her chin on. She watched the moving cartoon, but couldn't will herself to laugh at anything funny happening on screen.

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"Well, you said you wanted a shower and rest. Your words, not mine," He replied with a roll of his eyes. "And if you're going to watch something, you might as well watch something with substance."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She bristled, turning hateful eyes over to him. "I said I wanted a shower, and food, and clothes. Shows how much you listen." Elle turned back to the television set, her lips pressing together angrily. "And if you don't like The Simpsons, there's the door."

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"No place is open to buy you clothes right now, but we can go get you food if you want," He rolled his eyes once more. "And I'm not about to leave you, I think you would have figured that out by now."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"As if I can go out just wearing a t-shirt," she snapped at him--she wouldn't, and she wasn't going to. Frustration rose up in her throat, and suddenly pretending to watch TV was just exhausting. She turned off the television and dropped the remote on the floor, twisting up to wriggle under the covers. "I changed my mind. I'm tired," she lied. "Stop talking to me."

[specialmonster.livejournal.com]

"Fine, I'll go out and buy you something as soon as a store opens, and then we'll go out to breakfast, he argued, getting underneath the covers as well. If she thought he was going to sleep on the floor or something ridiculous like that, she had another thing coming.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

The bed squeaked and moved as he laid down, and Elle felt so much anger fill her she started to shake. Her body twisted around onto her back, and she turned her head towards him. "You're not sleeping here with me," she ordered, disgusted.
