A.N.: This is my first X-men/Heroes crossover. Also my first story containing either.
X-Heroes
Chapter 1: The conversation
"We can take you to a place where there are others like you and I," the bald man says to the kid.
Sylar was on a usual hunt for power when this bald man came in and started talking to the kid. He was around the corner, listening in on the conversation. He had managed to sneak into the kid's house right before the baldie came in. Before he came here he had heard about a kid with the power to bring inanimante objects to life as slaves. Obviously Sylar was interested in this power as he would be in any. But now...he couldn't just kill the kid and go o to the next target. There was a whole new hunting ground to get new powers! He smiles at this. He couldn't wait until he was done at this place because he would be able to crush anyone who stood in his way. Including Petrelli. Except since Peter lost his powers and now has to touch someone to get their power, he could probably already take him out.
"Others? Like me? In what way?" The kid asks.
"They can do things that other people can't. Like you," the baldie replies.
"Really? They're not mean are they?" The kid continues to question bald man.
"No, they're not. Although some might be at times but they are good people," he stops. "Even if they don't know it." The baldie then looks up at the sky.
"Then let's go! I can't wait to meet them!" The kid exclaims. "And let me guess, you're gonna teach me to control my powers or whatever."
"Why yes. And we can go as soon as you're ready."
"I'm ready now! Let's go!" He exclaims again.
"Well are you sure? Don't you still have to pack your bags?" The bald man asks.
"Oh right! Be right back!" Then the boy takes off.
Even though Sylar heard the whole conversation, he feels as though there were things that were said that he couldn't hear. When the kid came back, he saw a bunch of toys carrying suitcases. 'So it's kid really can bring inanimate object to life.'
"Ready to go?" Asks the bald man.
"Yeah," says the kid.
'Something's not right. How can that kid trust that man so easily? He didn't even tell him his name. Did he?' Sylar thinks, before realizing that the man must be a telepath. 'But wouldn't he be able to tell I'm here?'
"Oh and before we go...Sylar. I know you're there," the baldie said without looking in his direction. Sylar then decides to come out.
"So I must be right. You really are a telepath," says Sylar.
"Yes. And for some reason I am only able to find out your name. I can't see anything else in your mind," explains the bald man.
'That's because I learned how to keep telepath's out of my mind when I found out Parkman got into my head,' Sylar remembers how Matt Parkman made him think he was Petrelli's brother. "Well maybe that's my ability. Keeping telepath's out of my mind," Sylar suggests.
"So you're a mutant too?" Asks the bald man.
"Mutant? Well if that's what you call people with abilities then yeah," Sylar agrees.
'Well my name is Professor Charles Xavier. My students call me Professor X,' the baldie now known as Prof. X says to Sylar telepathically.
"May I go with you?" Sylar asks.
"I don't see why not. You are a fellow mutant after all," says Prof. X.
"Well then...shall we?" Sylar gestures to the door. 'That kid doesn't think it's strange that I was in his house? Maybe he thinks I'm actually with Xavier and that was an act to show that he's not the only one.'
Xavier then heads out the door after the kid opens it and says bye to his parents, whom Slyar guessed Xavier told where they would be going. The kid and Sylar then follow Prof. X out the door. 'This old man has no idea he's dooming his students.'
