[I DON NOT OWN HEROES]

(I do own Rei Gray :) )

OOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They had been driving for almost 3 and a half hours by this point, and Sylar's eyes were getting sore and heavy with exhaustion. It would be 4am soon and even he needed rest. The dark haired man risked yet another glance at the young girl beside him. She was fast asleep, leaning against the window, hugging her knees. Her dark hair veiled her face from view and with his black wool coat wrapped around her, the child look like nothing more than another shadow cast in the silver Infinity. Sylar sighed; something seemed to connect him to this girl even if he didn't want to admit it. Not fully, in a heart warming sense, but more of a psychic connection. When she was afraid, he could feel it vividly, and when she'd finally relaxed enough to fall asleep, he too started to feel drowsy.

Sylar took the exit off the highway and pulled into the parking lot of a small rugged motel with a flashing neon sign that read 'open' hanging in its window. He put the car in park, tuned it off and sat there. He was motionless in the seat, just sitting and staring straight ahead. Sylar then reached over towards the girl, careful to be quiet and as gentle as he could be. He reached into the pocket of the jacket and removed her file. Now he could finally know exactly who Reivianna Gray was, and her relation to him. Sylar took a deep breath and opened the folder to the second page. A photo of a small familiar bi-speckled girl was paper clipped to the top of the paper, followed by;

Birth Mother: Unknown

Birth Father: Gabriel Gray

Guardians in birth time: Taryn Williams and Micheal Turnstrum

Relation: Adoptive parents

Date Retrieved: April, 3, 2019

Reason for Retrieval:_________________

The last line was left blank but that was no real surprise to Sylar. What really surprised him was finally seeing his name, his real name, beside the word 'father'.

"Her file is missing." Noah Bennet stated rather flatly. He was sitting at the coffee table in his living room, house empty and nothing but a laptop and a cup of black coffee in front of him. A tired looking Angela gazed back at him through the screen displaying Noah's Skype conversation.

"I know it's 'missing'. But are there any digital copies at all?" Angela rubbed her temples in frustration as Noah shook his head.

"I can't find anything on her. It's almost as if she doesn't exist."

"That'll be all Noah, thank-you." The screen flickered black and the man sighed, rubbing his glasses on his shirt front and placing them back on his nose. Something was up, Angela had told him nothing, just gave him a name and estimated age and asked him to dig through the company's data base for anything he could find. Of course he found nothing, he knew as soon as he heard the name there were no files on her. The only things popping up on his search were occasional 'Sylar' files from previous assignments, but this was only because the last names were the same. Noah closed his laptop, then his eyes, leaning back on his sofa and trying his best to bat off the feeling that something was going on, and he had no idea what.

He calmed down quicker than he expected. Sylar knew Rei had no idea, he could tell. The question was, now what? He'd only grabbed her in the first place out of curiosity, and now that he knew who she was Sylar didn't know what he wanted to do with her. He hadn't anticipated this. He could dispose of her, slice her up and throw her in the dumpster behind the motel, but part of him couldn't. She was his daughter, she had abilities like him. Then the thought occurred to him, how much exactly was Reivianna like Sylar? They looked similar; he could see that, but ability wise. Did she just have lie detection? Or did it expand like his, did Rei have the hunger? Had she killed like he had? Millions of questions and possibilities ran through his head. Sylar knew she was shy and withdrawn like he had been. However, that was a result of his parents. His insane bible obsessed mother and his father who'd walked out to by a pack of cigarettes and never returned. Had Sylar been like his Father? Had he walked out on this girl and that's why she didn't recognize him? Sylar felt a brief moment of self hatred that quickly passed. He didn't know anything yet, and used that as an excuse to keep her alive.

Sylar heard a muffled yawn and snapped out of his busy thoughts to see a dark haired, dark eyed and by speckled girl starring up at him once again. This time, when he looked into her eyes, he saw himself. Confused, lonely and young, but she'd had a Mother. A sane one obviously, he wouldn't have had it otherwise. Someone who loved her and didn't force passage after passage into her brain, oh how Sylar completely detested the bible and what it had done to him. Her mother was unknown. He remembered this and quickly looked down at the paper again. Rei's eyes followed his.

"What's that?" Her voice was dry and quiet with sleep. And despite himself, Sylar jumped. Placing the file into his back pocket this time and opening the car door.

"It's nothing." He slammed it, almost in Rei's face, but she didn't flinch. She just watched as he travelled around the Infinity and opened her door. "Now, you can come quietly, or, I can put you back to sleep." There was a threatening undertone in his voice and all confidence that Rei had regained during her nap quickly vanished as she stumbled out of the vehicle.

Hiro Nakamura scrunched his eyes and tried yet again to freeze time. Nothing happened.

"Like I said Hiro, they're gone. Arthur took them from you and you are never getting your abilities back." Angela's voice seemed somehow sympathetic but Hiro couldn't help but feel the urge to cry. He'd loved his powers, they made him different, somebody, they made him a hero. He sat opposite Angela, at her desk in a comfortable lounge type chair. Angela sighed, crossing and uncrossing her legs and staring at the many papers strewn about her desk.

"Tell me again who this girl is Hiro." Hiro sighed, and repeated slowly;

"Her name is Reivianna Clarice Gray, she is seven years old and grew up in New York. She is to be born 3 years from now and the one in our time is from 10 years in the future." His voice faded out, Hiro had said this and similar things about Rei dozens of times to Angela but she kept insisting on hearing it again and again.

"And her parents?" Angela's voice was quiet but urged Hiro on.

"I don't know who her mother is, but her father is Sylar." There was a sudden quiet like there was every time he'd mentioned this fact. He'd said it so many times before.

"Gabriel Gray, Reivianna Gray." Angela repeated this to herself a few times before directing her attention back to Hiro. "And she doesn't know who her Father is?"

"No, Ms. Petrelli she has no idea."

"I need a room." Sylar ran his fingers through his hair and threw a twenty dollar bill at the man behind the desk. The man was fat and smelled of fried foods. He was eyeing Rei oddly, and she was trying her best to hide behind Sylar, deciding she liked her chances with him over the clerk.

"And who's this cutie?" The man gave her a toothy grin and Sylar could have sworn he heard her give a soft squeal from behind him.

"She's …er…my daughter." It wasn't a lie, but Rei didn't need to know that. He felt her tense, and the waves of bitterness he was getting through their odd physic connection signaled that he'd struck a pretty deep chord on that one. What had he done to her in the future?

The clerk smirked, and threw a rusty key at Sylar.

"Room 65, second building on the right behind this one." He coughed a smoky lung cancer cough, and Rei was quick to follow his directions nearly bolting out of the lobby. Sylar followed closely behind, careful not to lose sight of his daughter.

"You're going to have to play along you know." He was unlocking the door and opened it just as she replied.

"Play along?" Sylar and Rei stepped into the small dirty one bed, one bathroom hotel apartment and a musty old smell greeted them.

"With what I said, you're my daughter from now on, got it?" His heart raced slightly when he said this and Sylar could have sworn that she'd noticed. Then again, that was impossible, or was it?

Rei nodded hesitantly and sat on the bed,

"Can I watch T.V?" She pushed her glasses up her nose and Sylar's heart swelled for a brief second, what a spitting image.

"Sure," He coughed and headed towards the bathroom, "I'm going to shower, lock to door and if you try anything," He tapped his temple with his pointer finger and smirked. "I'll know." Rei seemed to shudder at the thought of what he'd do to her and nodded, quicker this time. If she was going to survive the night, Rei figured she should listen to her captor, at least until a perfect opportunity arose.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That was a pretty quick update if I do say so myself! :) Oh, and I noticed some of the dates on the paper work for Rei in the second chapter were wrong so I went back and fixed them. To make things a little clearer; she is 7 years old, was born 3 years after this story takes place and 10 years after this story she is taken by Hiro and brought back to 3 years before she was born. Make sense? I hope so… Next Chappie up by Sunday night at the latest! Review please!
