Ch. 1 Good Times in Mexico
He walked towards me with a drink in hand. He looked like any other tourist in Mexico, but I know that Gabriel "Sylar" Gray was more then just another person. Sylar had an ability called intuitive aptitude, which makes him have a condition called the hunger. The hunger makes him want more abilities. I know first hand what Sylar's power could do, having almost become a victim myself. Sylar use to be a watchmaker before turning to a life villainy and murder. Sylar decided he didn't want to be that anymore so he'd been trying to keep the hunger under control. You might ask why I would be with someone with that kind of baggage. Well first of all he was was once my client, second of all he was my boyfriend.
"Any luck?" I said taking the drink out of his hand and taking a sip.
"No. I thought we would have found him by now?" Sylar said.
"Are you sure that woman was right?" I asked.
"Yes, she said we would find what we need in Mexico" Sylar said sitting by the chair in front of me.
" What else did she say?" I asked him.
" She Said, that your chance at redemption will come in a form in a person who is the mirror image of you." Sylar said.
"So she is saying that there is going to be another person with your ability and you have to help him or her " I said matter of factly. Sylar gave me a know it all look. I was slightly annoyed that he just assumed it was a guy.
"Yes but so far we found nothing." Sylar said bitterly.
"Cheer up, we have to go back to New York tomorrow." I said.
"Can't we stay for another week" Sylar said.
"Why do you want to stay for another week?" I asked him taking off my sunglasses.
"Because I want to stay and find that person, you don't understand how bad I was when I first developed my ability." Sylar said. I can picture a younger Sylar being alone and not knowing what was happening to him.
"You mean you want to put off the merciless teasing Erin and Elle would put us through when we get back." I asked him pretending to be shocked.
"I don't know what those girls thought we were going to do in Mexico, play scrabble." He said smirking.
"Don't laugh, we actually did do play scrabble the first night we were here remember." I said smiling.
"Gab" Sylar said looking at me seriously.
"What" I said anxiously
"I was wondering, before we get back to New York, would you like to meet my dad?" Sylar asked.
"The one that sold you, or the one that left you and your mom?" I asked him. One particular sticky point for Sylar was his dad and his adoptive father. I knew his adoptive mother was no saint either.
"My real dad" Sylar said.
"I thought he was dead?" I asked him.
"He's dying, but he is still alive" Sylar.
"Why do you want me to meet him so bad" I asked him
"Well one of the things in life, I was deprived of was bring my girlfriend home to meet my parents" Sylar said.
"Fine, if it gets us back to New York any quicker" I said.
"You're still worried about Jade, aren't you" Sylar said.
"I don't trust her with my friends alone while we are away." I said.
"Well she did run away in the alley. She must be somewhat afraid of you." He said. I knew that my sister would never face me by herself. She knew better.
"Mrs. Gabrielle Gray" The hotel employee asked. I raised my hand.
"Tell me why you had us book as a married couple again" I asked Sylar.
"It would look weird if we didn't and why deny the inedible" Sylar said smirking.
"Oh good, here our plane tickets for tomorrow." I said taking them out of the envelope.
"Are Mohinder and Elle back from India" He asked.
"They got back two days ago" I said.
"I'm going to miss my alone time with you" Sylar said looking at me.
"We can always come back on our honeymoon" I said.
"Oh so in another a hundred years" Sylar smirked. I had to laugh. Sylar knew it won't be that long before we get married.
We went back to our hotel room. Mexico was beautiful at night. Everything seemed so peaceful. Out of the blue we heard a scream in the night. Sylar and I went out by a crowd of people. What I saw made me ill. A man was lying on the ground with his skill exposed.
"What did he do with the brain? Eat it?" I asked Sylar looking away.
"Gab that's disgusting" Sylar said. I gave him a not funny glare.
"We have to go back and warn everyone. If there is another person with my ability, he's going to kill a lot of people" Sylar said.
"You don't even know if the person with the ability is a guy, what makes you think it would help to warn people" I asked.
"Look I know it's a guy because so far guys have only gotten that ability" Sylar said.
"Who else do you know that have your ability?" I asked him.
"My dad" Sylar said bitterly. I could see why Sylar wanted to visit his dad.
