Chapter Fourteen – Healing Helping Enemy's
Sylar woke with a throbbing headache. He sat up slowly and looked around. His wounds were bandaged and wrapped. Starting to get confused he looked around and saw he was in a white room and were in a white shirt and pants, same as before. He wondered how long he had been there?
"Bennet." He whispered angrily. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, lying back down.
"Let me out of here!" Jade shouted as she banged on the glass with her fists. The door opened and the lights went on. Mr. Bennet walked in first then Peter. Jade and Sylar both looked with wide eyes. His hair was shorted. But that was him. "Aren't you suppose to be dead?"
"We need your help." Bennet stated. "We need you two to help us defeat this mystery man."
"Go to hell." Jade said taking the words out of Sylars mouth.
"I'll let you think about it, when Sylar wakes up I'll give him the same option." He said.
"Mohinder want to ask you a couple questions Jayden."
"It's just Jade." She said sitting against the wall with her knees to her chest. Mohinder walked in with a file in his hands. "You know, you're a little too nosie!"
"Why did you murder your father?" Mohinder asked first.
"He wasn't my father, Mike was my step father." She said rolling her eyes.
"Why did you murder him?" Mohinder asked again.
"Trust me, he deserved it." She saw avoiding the answer.
"The man who took care of you after your mother died, you at least should've expected him for that."
"Yeah, respect a drunk for kicking my ass for thirteen years." She said looking sharply at him. "I did what I had to do. When I asked for help no one believed me, so you know what, I couldn't take it. I was obsessed with fire, I didn't have any powers yet, so I soaked the house in gasoline and threw a match." Mohinder stood baffled.
"Why did you kill the others?"
"Because they weren't playing right." When she said this all three men looked at her. They thought it staring that she looked at it like a game.
"What did Amber Wolfe and Nick Williams do?" Bennet asked.
"That was there names? Anyways she was a thief, using her power to take what didn't belong to her and him." She said rolling her eyes in disgust. "He was a cheater, cheating on his wife using his power to go from to go from girl to girl, behind his wives back. He didn't even love her." She said with sympathy in her voice.
"What do you know about love?" Mohinder shot back. "You're a monster, both of you." He watched as she walked up to the glass. "You have no feelings." As Mohinder went on, Peter and Bennet decided it would be better if they left.
"You think I'm a monster, your father took away something I loved, the only one I had. I thought I'd never see him again. And him." She said pointing to Bennet. "He locks people in cages and does this." She said referring to her arms. "I've killed more then those two, taking what they don't deserve. You should be happy I didn't take Molly's power when I should have."
"You murdered people, innocent people who did nothing to you. You have a chance to do good, to help. Are you going to or not?"
"No." She said not because she didn't want to go after the guy who attacked her, she wanted to get him more then anything, she just didn't want to help Mohinder.
"Fine." He said pulling a gun out of the back of his coat and pointing it at her. "Then I'll make sure you don't hurt anyone ever again."
"Do it." She said. "You locked me in a room where I'm completely powerless." She watched as the gun he held began to shake slightly in his hands. "Shoot me!" But he couldn't, even though he really wanted for what she did and what she said about his father, but he couldn't. He slowly put his arms to his sides. "You're a coward." She said sitting back down on the ground.
Everyone figured Sylar was still sleeping because he didn't say anything, but he was listening closely. When he heard Mohinder pull the gun out it took everything he had to not get noticed. Finally Mohinder left.
"Wake up Sylar." She said in a whisper not thinking he could hear her.
"I've been awake." He said sitting on the ground, against the same wall just opposite, as Jade.
"Who the hell was that last night?" She asked barring her face in her hands, she was replaying the moment in her mind. She couldn't believe how strong he was.
"We're never going to find out in here." He said.
"Looks like we're going to wait." Jade said, running her hands through her hair. "But it's not going to be fun." She explained what they were going to do and hopefully it would work.
The days were passing and there was no talking sense into either Sylar or Jade. All of them knew that there was no way of them defeating this mystery man with out their help. It was quiet in the room, finally Peter spoke up.
"Do you really think they're help?" Peter asked.
"Not with out a fight." Bennet said. "It's going to take a lot but I think they will help us."
"Why wouldn't she want to help us get the guy who attacked them?" Mohinder said to himself out loud.
"I don't think it's that she doesn't want to find him. It's just she doesn't want to find him with us." Peter said. "But she's mad, there has to be someone who can talk sense in to her."
"I can give it a try." Clair said taking off her coat and putting it on the chair. She had just arrived.
"No way." Bennet said. "You don't know what she's capable of."
"Dad, come on it's not like Jade can't hurt me, she's been in there for three days. Since she hasn't been in the sun she's probably weak, plus, she's in a power-less room." All the men knew she was right and agreed to let Clair talk to Jade.
"I actually have something that might help her." Bennet said pulling out a needle. "It's an antidote to what we gave her a year ago. You can try to gain her trust with it." He handed it to Clair as she entered the room. Jade was still sitting against the wall and Sylar was sketching on a paper, the ability he stole from Issack. She looked back at Jade. She was shivering from the cold and her face was pail. Clair opened the door and walked in, she sat on the bed in front of Jade. Jade's eyes looked sharply at the young girl.
"What do you want?" Jade asked looking away from her.
"I want to help you." She said pulling the needle out of her pocket. Jade quickly looked at her. "I'm not going to hurt you. This is antidote to what they gave you." Jade didn't say a word. "Please I just want to help you."
"I'd rather have the gun pointed at me again." Jade said dryly looking way. "How do I know this isn't a trick?" She asked almost in a whisper.
"I wouldn't trick you." Jade nodded at Clair and held her shaking arm out. She felt a slight pressure in her arm, then nothing. Soon after she started to feel dizzy, looking down at her hands to see them shaking even more violently. "What did you give me?" She panicked getting up to her feet.
"They said it would help you." Clair said almost as panicked. The next thing Clair knew Nina swung at her causing her to fall out of the door. Then the door closed and all three men rushed in. "What's going on?" Clair asked as they watched Jade back her self up into the corner of the room and slid down the wall.
