Ok, before I get in trouble I need to clarify, I'm staying true to Sylars storyline until the Episode "Shades of Grey". For the the rest of the Characters, their story only stops at the end of the Villans portion of season three. All the issues that Nathan created with the government did not take place in this story. Hope that prevents any future confussion!
Now that I have cleared that up, enjoy the chapter!
"Hello Peter." Angela Petrelli said quietly as her son stepped into her office. She stood in front of the large window behind her desk staring out over the bustling New York street below.
"Mom." Peter replied as he took a seat on the opposite side of the desk. Angela turned to face her son and swiftly took the seat across from him.
"I need you to do something for me Peter." She informed him bluntly.
"And here I was thinking you just wanted to spend some quality time with your son."
"Not now Peter." Angela requested wearily. For the first time Peter noticed how exhausted his mother looked.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Sylar." She whispered, lightly massaging her temples. "I sent Noah and one of my top agents after him. Needless to say, they failed. And now because of my rash actions, Sylar has in his possession the most powerful one of us I have ever seen. A precious commodity we could not afford to lose… especially not to him."
"What does this have to do with me?" Peter asked.
"I need you to bring Agent Martin back."
Sylar drove in silence as Sarah slept, he glanced over at her more often then he liked to admit. She had given him some answers, but the knowledge did nothing to soothe him. He finally knew the reasons behind her actions, but he still did not understand them. He could not understand her, and he found it utterly infuriating. He looked at the sleeping woman once again. Sleep hid the worry that he could see in her eyes. He knew she was questioning herself, questioning if she had made the right decision, questioning if she should trust him… if she could trust him. He couldn't blame her, he didn't even know if she could trust him. His current plan didn't involve her immediate demise, but there was no saying when that plan would change. She was changing his world, but he hadn't decided if it was for the better or worse yet.
"Why are you in this car?" He asked the sleeping girl. She sighed softly but didn't respond. "Why are you helping me? I'm the bad guy… you should be running as fast as you can in the opposite direction… Why are you doing this?"
"You're not bad." Sarah whispered sleepily. Sylar glanced over at her in surprise. "There's bad in you, but that's true for everyone."
"What makes you think I'm not all bad?"
"If you're all bad, then why am I still alive?" She responded coolly.
"Maybe it's all part of the plan." Sylar pointed out. "Maybe I'm deceiving you."
"I could just as easily be deceiving you." Sarah replied. "For now we have to trust each other. Believe me, the alternative is much worse."
"I killed the only two women who ever loved me Sarah, what makes you think I won't do the exact same thing to you?" Sylar asked coldly. "Because I assure you, I cared a lot more for them than I do for you."
Sarah fiddled nervously with a chain that hung around her neck as she considered her response.
"I don't know whether or not you'll hurt me… but I know the boy I knew would never hurt me… and I putting my money on the hope that there's more of Gabriel Gray left than you're willing to admit. The truth is, I believe in you. I don't think you want to be what you've become. I believe you can change back. I believe you're strong enough."
"Are you willing to risk your life for that belief?"
"What do you think I've been doing?" Sarah whispered.
"Why?"
"It's better to die for something you believe in, then live believing in nothing." Sarah replied.
Hope you enjoyed! I'll try to update sooner, but school is crazy :/
