"Cake!"

A Heroes fanfiction

By Tenshi-Chan

Sylar gazed at the trio that had just walked in with cake and presents. He'd just used his telekinesis to shut the door, and was trying to decide what to do with them. They didn't have any abilities he could take, and killing normal humans was no fun. He really disliked doing it.

The woman with auburn hair cleared her throat. "If you let me live, I'll go get ice cream."

Sylar blinked and tilted his head. It was an intriguing proposition. "I wasn't planning on killing any of you, but I wouldn't say no to ice cream."

The man turned to her. "Are you insane? He just killed Sue!"

"Oh, we never liked her, anyway! We're just making a show of it because she would have raised a big stink if we hadn't." The woman turned to the third member of their group. "Am I wrong?"

The dark-skinned woman shook her head. "She's got a point."

Suddenly, the auburn-haired woman turned to him. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Sylar blinked in surprise at this random change of topic. He'd had Elle, but he had recently killed her, so he guessed he was free now. "No."

The woman pursed her lips. "Boyfriend?" She seemed oblivious to the looks the other two were giving her.

"No."

His conversation partner nodded a little. "Are you straight, gay, or bi-sexual?"

Sylar decided to call the auburn-haired woman 'Ember' until he learned her real name, if it ever came to that.

Sylar's answer was cut off by the man. "What are you DOING?"

Ember sighed. "He's hot! Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to find a hot, single, STRAIGHT guy in this city?"

The other woman made a choking noise. "All right ... you need a reminder. He just killed a woman!"

Ember shrugged. "Everyone needs a hobby!"

Sylar snickered. "You really believe that!" He had to let her live if only because she amused him.

The man sputtered. "You are insane!"

Ember shrugged. "If I'm insane, feel free to have me committed."

The other woman sighed. "Again ... Sue, dead, on the floor."

"All right!" Ember held up her hands. "Let's just ... put aside that fact for just a moment. Forget that he killed a woman that no one liked and just look at him!" She motioned to Sylar. "Please let me remind you that he. Is. HOT!"

Sylar held up his hand, freezing the trio where they were. "Well ... this has been fun. Not often that I get entertained on so many levels, and get a new ability in the bargain. So ... I'll tell you what I'm going to do." He used his powers to cut himself a nice piece of the cake. "I'll just take this lovely snack and be on my way." He paused on his way out and winked at Ember. "I'm flattered, really, but you just aren't my type."

Ember pouted. "You are gay, then? FUCK!"

"No, sorry, not intrested," he replied with a shrug. Then he blew Ember a kiss and tried to clean his hands off on his shirt as he walked down the hallway with no success. Oh, well ... he still had his cake.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Yes, I know, new fandom. Don't worry! I'm still working with all my other lovely guys. Look on the bright side! At least I'm writing again.

You can blame Keara completely for this new fandom. She introduced me to Heroes and the wonders of Zachary Quinto. Come on ... Zachary Quinto is hot. Especially as Chad in season 1 of American Horror Story. goes away at mental image of Zachary Quinto in a skin-tight black latex suit.

As soon as I have some more written for my other works, I will PROBABLY come back to Heroes. I really should work on one fic at a time, but muses dictate what is written.

Many thanks to Keara for her suggestions, and to all my loyal readers. And, if you read Keara's work, you will be pleased to know that she is writing again, too.
