Hero
A Song-Fic
I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losing my faith today
Falling off the edge today
Sylar peered off the cliff knowing this would not end his life he would live and go on about his life. Maybe this time he would hit the right spot and kill him. Looking around making sure no one was around. It seems every time he tired this someone was around to talk him down.
Did he really want to do this? He was tired of being evil he used up all his energy on it. At times he wondered how it would feel to be good to help out. He thought of Claire and his secret obsession with her. He liked her goodness and her willing to try and help everyone out. Why could he not try to do that? No one would believe him; he has done more harm then good.
I am just a man
Not Superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate
He said a silent prayer and yes he did pray. Did anyone hear him though? Maybe he was doing the right thing trying again and again to end his life. No one would suffer anymore because of him and Claire could go on being happy.
"How many attempts has this been?" a voice behind him said. He didn't need to turn for he knew who it was. "Today's or all of them together?" he still looked over the edge picking out a sharp rock hoping to land on it. "Why are you doing this?" she asked him. "You of all people should understand why."
Claire had come to terms with him and yes he did kill her mother and father but she knew that this Sylar and the other one were now two different people. Something happened and he longed to fit in and feel like he belonged. He could have fended Doyle off at the Carnival not let him gain control. But he knew he was there for Emma and that wouldn't help the cause if he did it.
It's just another war
Just another family torn
Falling from my faith today
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world me live
"Claire how many family's could I end up tearing apart because of this? Parkman fixed my problem but then he trapped me in my own hell." He was hoping Matt would have helped but instead he turned it against him and locked him up. What was hours in reality was years in his hell. He learned a lot that's what made him want to change. He hated being alone for so long.
Claire really didn't know what he was feeling. "Can you come back from the edge and at lest talk about it?" He moved a little turning just enough she got the side of his face. "Please Sylar come back from the edge." He noticed the pleading tone in her voice and decided to move back and give her chance.
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero to save me just in time
She listened to all his fears and how Hiro told him he was going to die alone and how he thought it had come true when he was locked up. Claire tired not to judge him but let him talk. "So you see if I go now then it will be all over with" Sylar turned away from her. The next thing out of her mouth was not what he thought she would say. "I forgive you for what you did." Of course no one would ever understand why she forgave him but she needed it right now and she was tired of feeling anger all the time.
I've gotta fight today
To live another day
Speaking my mind today
My voice will be heard today
I've gotta make a stand
But I'm just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today
Claire could see he meant what he was saying. He wanted to change and she wanted to help. What she did next was a crazy move on her part but she felt she needed to do it. While watching him talk she had wondered what it would be like to feel his lips on hers. Sylar looked up from the rock he was messing with and saw something on her face that he hadn't seen before.
"You are thinking of something or something to do I don't think I like this." "But you will" she said leaning farther into him. He didn't flitch when she kissed him actually he responded back to her mimicking her move.
She pulled back Sylar looked a bit stunned "Despite all you have done to me I have always had a little obsession with you." He looked at her "funny I always had one for you to" he said raising back up. "It's part of the reason I always came after you just to be near you even if it meant me inflicting some pain on you."
It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today
It's just another kill
The countdown beings to destroy
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time
To Sylar Claire was a hero she saved him just in time made him accept what he did and not to feel guilty anymore since that part was over now. He wants to be a hero and save someone. "I want help with everything and try to be good for once and not just fake it" "ok" she said. "But first we need others to believe you and that you really want to help and not kill anyone."
"No" was not the response she was looking for. "If we just tell them they wont believe me" "So you want to make them see it first?" He nodded his head and stood to walk back to the car.
From then on he made it point to try and get them to see his how good he was. His relationship with Claire was growing and she was the one to save him when he wanted to kill. Peter was not at all thrilled to her she was dating him he did come to terms with him also but he had done so much. But he helped saved Emma and that made Peter believe he was decent after all.
Who's gonna fight for the weak?
Who's gonna make'em believe?
I've got a hero, I've got a hero
Living in me
I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die
A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time.
Sylar found what he was looking for. He became a hero and had Claire by his side. He couldn't tell if everyone was truly ok with him or if they were just pretending. Waiting for him to slip up and take him down.
Some where far from here Angela Petrelli sat up in bed being waken from a deep sleep. "Oh no" she said out loud. The dream scared her she saw the future and it didn't look good. Her granddaughter was now ruining everything they had worked hard for all the time put into bringing Sylar down. Maybe good things could come from it she knew Claire and would be stubborn when it came to this. So she lay back down forget the dream.
I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in time….
