A/N Yes, I realize this will probably be very AU once the second season starts. It's a bit of a one-shot, it's my first Heroes fic, so seriously, I need reviews to tell me if it's half-decent enough to continue. Thanks to BR for the title...

Warnings: Ummm, there is a character death... little bit of language... nothing big though

Spoilers: all of Season 1, so don't read it unless you have seen the Finale.

Mohinder couldn't believe it. Everything was happening so fast, he was barely able to comprehend anything. It had all started once he met Molly Walker. Actually, it was all before that, it all started before he was born, with his father in India.

Chandra Suresh was not a simple man. To Mohinder, it seemed that he spent all his time researching. It was like it was his life's goal. Up until this year, Mohinder had no idea what his father's research was even about. He had learned long ago not to challenge his father's theories.

Mohinder stopped, there was no use thinking about the past. He knew what his father did. It seemed now that everyone did. His father was a world-reknowned geneticist, but that's not why everyone knew about him. He was the geneticist who wrote "Activating Evolution." It was basically a guide for anyone with "special abilities"

Mohinder got up from his computer and sighed. It had been two weeks since the near explosion. Currently, he was taking care of Molly Walker. She was cute and extremely intelligent, but Mohinder was not sure how much longer he could keep up in terms of money. He had barely had enough for himself, much less a ten year old girl.

"I could give her up to the Saunders family" thought Mohinder. No. There was no way that Molly would want to leave him. After the death of Parkman, Mohinder was all she had left. He had yet to tell her of Parkman's death. He knew she would take his death hard. He had been her hero. He saved her from Sylar once, and was the only one who could find her after Sylar had brutally murdered her parents.

Sylar. There was that name again. Mohinder could only hope the worst for him. He had witnessed him being stabbed by a young Japanese man who seemed to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The thing that unnerved Mohinder was that he clearly remembered seeing Sylar's lifeless body on the ground, but he had been too distracted trying to help Parkman. By the time the police and paramedics got there, there was no sign of Sylar's body, just a blood trail leading into the sewers. The police searched most of it and came back empty. Sylar had escaped again.

He thought back to the days when he and Zane Taylor would travel around the country warning people on the List. He felt so foolish now, so clueless. He had been leading Sylar to all those people and never noticed. Sure, he had always though Zane was a little odd, but he had never expected the truth. He remembered finding out that Zane was Sylar. He remembered all that anger... He remembered that fateful day he confronted Zane about Sylar... and the aftermath... Peter Petrelli.

To this day he still has no idea what happened with Peter. He clearly remembered seeing him die... he returned his dead body to his family. But then, the night of the bomb, Peter was there.. he was the bomb, he was sure of it!

He sighed once agian sat back down in his chair. He tried not to think back on that night. Too much had happened, it had been a very long night. He and Molly immediately went to the hospital with Parkman, and they had both ended up staying there for hours. Eventually in the morning, Mohinder took her back to his apartment. She wouldn't understand. How could she? She was ten years old and she had lost everyone who was important to her. That's why he can't leave her... it would be yet another disappointment to her.

"So when are we going to go see Officer Parkman again? I made him a get well card" That was the third time this morning that Molly had asked him that. He didn't know what to say. He knew it would be cruel not to tell her, but at the same time, he didn't want to say anything.

"Well, he's really sick Molly... I think we should wait to see if he get's better soon"

"But, how is he going to get better without my get well card?" It broke his heart to see her talk like this, she was so young.

"Well, I'll phone up the hospital and see how he is. Here, do you want me to phone up the Saunders and see if Micah can come over?" He asked with a smile on his face. On the night of the explosion Mohinder and Molly met up with the Saunders family in Kirby Plaza. Nikki had actually been the one who saved Peter from Sylar. Her husband, D.L. had been shot in the shoulder, and it was during his time in the hospital that Molly and Micah (The Saunders ten-year old son) really befriended eachother. D.L. was fine now, but they still remained in New York

"Well, ok... but I really want to see Officer Parkman soon. He saved my life... He saved me from the boogyman!" Mohinder wondered if he should ask Molly about Sylar... to see if she could find him. But he didn't want to scare her, she probably thinks he's dead. He guessed it was better that way, not living in fear of him.

Suddenlt the phone rang, Mohinder ran to get it but Molly got there first.

"Hello, this is Mohinder's!" Molly basically yelled into the phone "Sure, you want to talk to him? Ok" She handed Mohinder the phone.

"Hello?"

"Yes, Mohinder? It's Noah Bennet." Noah... that name rang a bell. Yes, Noah was there the night of the near-explosion, his daughter was also there, she had been the one to nearly shoot Peter. Mohinder was also familar with him because Noah had checked a couple of times to see how Parkman was before he died. He quickly asked Molly to leave the room, which she did.

"Oh, what do you want?" He asked.

"Well, I'm not sure how to ask it, but I need you to get Molly to find Sylar."

No, there was no way he was going to ask her to do that. Molly was a ten year old girl, not some machine that you can put money into and expect an answer.

"What? No way Noah, she's ten years ol-"

"Please Mohinder, You and I both know Sylar's not dead, he's still out there." Noah cut him off. Mohinder didn't care, Yes, he realized Sylar was still alive... it was always in the back of his head when he was alone, or trying to fall asleep.

"What the hell do you expect to do if you find him Noah? Shoot him? You will end up just like Parkman, You and I doth know Sylar can't be stoped without Peter, and considering he's missing right now, I guess Sylar's unstoppable..."

"No, Mohinder, you don't understand. I know Sylar's next prey will be Claire, he's been wanting her power for a long time, Peter was always there to save her, but now that Peter's not here, I have to do the best I can, and I can't do that without knowing where he is... Please Mohinder... it's for Claire."

Mohinder really felt torn. He understood where Noah was coming from, he wanted nothing more than to protect his family. Besides, if Sylar did get Claire's power, he would be unstoppable, no matter what Peter did. But he couldn't just ask Molly to do something like this.

"Listen Noah" He said. "I know where you are coming from, just let me think on it for a bit, Here, I will phone you tomorrow at 2:00 with my answer" Without waiting for a response, he immediately hung up the phone.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad just to ask Molly this one last thing...

A/N Review please :D
