Metamorphosis
Disclaimer: Heroes is not owned by me. Unfortunately, this includes Sylar. Sigh.
A/N: This takes place after the pilot of season 3, but I'm not going to be fastidious enough to stick to any particular episode. I think any decisions regarding what I keep or reject from canon should be obvious enough, but where there are questions, I will be sure to answer them.

D-1 raises his head and blinks. The single light bulb above him crackles and sparks with the constant, slow drip of moisture over its surface. A puddle is forming on the concrete floor. His toes are getting wet.
He realizes it is a futile attempt, but that doesn't stop him from crawling to the other corner of the cell. He presses himself against the frigid wall and pulls his legs up to his chest. His eyes shut again. There is nothing to do but sleep and wait.
Sleep never comes. And so he waits.
