A/N: I'm sorry for the delay. I blame it on Loki. He was rebelling out of jealousy, methinks. I already finished the story before I started posting, this story was intended to be a one- shot originally. As I started to edit it, I only managed to edit Sylar's first POV when Loki stopped talking. He only started talking again last Friday (two days ago). Once again, I apologize for the delay. Enjoy! :D
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Chapter 2
Loki crossed the street when he saw that it was clear of the mortals' metal transports. It had been nearly a week since he made his rather dramatic appearance in the SHIELD base. Since then, and after Agent Barton had found a temporary hidden base and some of SHIELD's enemies to join them, Loki had started to explore the nearby neighborhood to attempt to blend in and to see if there would be anything of use.
It was during one of these expeditions when he noticed someone following him. Loki knew that the mortal following him was not from SHIELD because if the organization had miraculously managed to find him, he knew they would try to capture him immediately. Besides, this mortal was not as obvious as an agent. He was always seemingly invisible, blending into his surroundings. Exactly like a shadow. After the first few days of his shadow following him off and on, Loki felt an almost grudging respect for him. He knew this mortal could be very useful.
Today, Loki had come out of his base with a different purpose than before. It was time to meet the shadow.
He turned down an alley and chose the dark corner to wait. He knew his shadow would come.
End of Chapter 2
A/N: I realize this is shorter than the last chapter, but as I said before, this was originally supposed to be a one- shot. I may still merge all the chapters together, once I have them completely edited and posted. I've already completed editing Chapter 3 and will post it Tuesday. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. Please review. :D
