„Doesn't look like there is many places to hide" said Peter, hands in his pockets. "Are you sure about this tracking system?"
Noah reached in the inner pocket of his coat and pulled a gun out. "He's here. Don't worry!"
They stopped near the center of Kirby Plaza. Peter turned to Noah. "All right. That means he's hiding plant side."
Peter turned his head to check out the space behind him. In that exact moment Noah felt a pat on the shoulder. He quickly turned only to look at Sylar's confident face. With a flick of his fingers the wanted killer sent surprised man flying across the square. Noah's body hit the wall of the nearest building and fell down to the ground.
Peter stepped back and took a deep breath. This is it, went through his head.
"What took you so long?" asked Sylar. "Haven't I killed you before?"
"Didn't take!" retorted Peter.
Sylar grinned and quickly raised his hand. Peter felt invisible fingers around his neck as they began to squeeze every last breath out of him. The attack was surprising but the empath quickly recovered. With a little concentration he used telekinesis to throw his opponent several meters aside.
The grip around his neck loosened and Peter landed with both feet on the ground unlike Sylar whose back hit hard the concrete surface of the square.
"Well, well. You're not gonna make this easy, are you?" said Sylar angrily as he was getting back on his feet.
"Count on it!" replied Peter firmly. He felt a bit more confident than just a few moments earlier.
Doors of the nearest building opened and a bunch of people rushed out. Peter immediately recognized Mohinder Suresh. He was accompanied by a tall black man who seemed to be wounded, blonde woman and two kids.
Suddenly a familiar feeling showed up and overwhelmed Peter for a moment. These people have abilities, he realized as he looked down at his hands.
Sylar had noticed his distraction and reacted fast. Using telekinesis he ripped nearby parking meter from the ground and sent it flying at Peter. It hit him in the chest with an incredible force and tossed him back.
Sharp pain coming from several broken ribs and possibly punctured lungs was almost unbearable. Luckily it only took a second before regeneration kicked in. With wounds healed in an instant Peter stood up and looked at Sylar.
Villain's hands were now glowing blue as he activated his freezing ability. He began walking towards Peter with no rush. Peter jumped in the air and flew straight at him only to brutally tackle him.
Sylar certainly hadn't expected that. He was lying on the ground trying to catch a breath. He had a very surprised look in his face. Peter bent over and grabbed him by his throat. With newly absorbed enhanced strength he easily lifted him couple inches above the ground just with one hand.
"I win!" Peter said with a hint of triumph in his voice.
Before Sylar started to lose consciousness, Peter dropped him as his hands began to glow yellow.
"No! Wait! No!" he yelled and clenched his fists. He tried to calm down, to stop this energy build-up inside of him, but he felt he was losing it.
With difficulty Sylar got back on his feet. Although he was beaten and weak, he laughed and looked at Peter with confidence.
"Looks like you're the villain, Peter. I'm the hero."
Hiro popped out of nowhere right behind Sylar's back.
