[I DON'T OWN HEROES!]

[I do own Reivianna Gray!]

The hot water felt good on his skin, relaxing Sylar's tense muscles and bringing an odd sense of calm. He savored the moment best he could but he couldn't help but allow odd thoughts to pop their way into his head. Sylar hadn't really thought much about his childhood until he'd met Rei. She was the spitting image of his younger self, and the fact that she was his daughter, that he actually had someone now, someone like him. Well, he didn't know that for sure. Sylar was only aware of her lie detection abilities which she obviously didn't have full control over or understand yet. The question was did she have any others? Was she like him, like her father?

He still couldn't get over that fact, that he had a child. And when Sylar had said so to the clerk at the motel it had been the perfect cover story. They looked alike, and it wasn't a lie. So, until Rei became more aware of her powers she wouldn't realize that every time he said they were related, a familiar buzz wouldn't climb up her spine. Plus, he had to admit, he did slightly like her playing along.

Sylar reluctantly got out of the shower; he could tell Rei was still in the hotel room, good. He put his clothes back on and dried his hair with a towel, draping it around his neck afterwards. Sylar then opened the bathroom door to see Rei, legs crossed, sitting on the bed. His heart stopped.

Rei had stumbled upon the hotel bible in the room's night stand drawer and was currently browsing through its pages. A sudden hot wave of furry burst through Sylar and he telekinetically threw the book out of her hands and into the far wall. Rei, who had not been expecting this, tumbled off the bed and onto the floor with a loud squeal.

"DON'T READ THAT!!!" Sylar's voice boomed, and Rei was quickly shaking again, Sylar was frightening her.

His face flushed red, he was not going to let her near the book that had caused him so much misery, it wasn't the bible. It was his mother, the mother he'd killed.

Rei slowly sat back up, eyes wide and leaned against the bed.

"I'm sorry?" It was a whispered mumble and she was clearly confused about what she'd done wrong. Sylar sighed, crossing the room and picking up the bible before placing it back in the drawer of the nightstand. He then dropped onto one knee so that he could be at Rei's eye level.

"Shouldn't you be getting to sleep?" His voice was calm almost friendly, and that seemed to frighten Rei even more. He had a point however, it was almost 6am and the sun would be coming up soon. Rei stumbled up and into the queen sized bed. She took off her glasses and pulled the blanket up over her chin. Her eye lids grew heavy and Rei suddenly realized just how tired she was.

Sylar then sat on the edge of the bed, feeling sort of guilty about yelling at her for no real reason.

"Rei..." She straightened slightly when he said her name, and once he was sure she was listening Sylar continued.

"I know you have an ability. You've shown me. And, you know I have a few as well. I've also read about you Rei. I know you're from the future, and I know Hiro brought you back to this time with him," Rei was trembling now, feeling insecure that this man knew things about her. She nodded.

"Do you know why exactly Hiro brought you back?" There was silence. Rei frown thoughtfully, she'd never asked why. She'd just followed him, searching for answers to what she was going through, wanted to know where her parents were, he'd told her he could explain and show her, but he never did. And now she was here. Rei thought about it hard before shaking her head.

"No." She responded. And as if expecting that answer, Sylar continued to his next question.

"Do you have more abilities? Than just lie detection?" There was no answer. Sylar growing slightly frustrated looked up at Rei, only to see she'd fallen asleep. He smiled slightly and decided he might as well sleep too.

Noah had been given a mission. He was to track down this girl and bring her back. It was simple enough. The problem was she was with Sylar who alone was a large enough obstacle. Another problem was that no one was really sure which side this girl was on or what she was capable of, the only person who had some sort of idea was Arthur Petrelli and he was now dead.

"Now, you're the head of the team Noah…" Angela continued as the marched down the dimly lit hallways of 'The Company'. Noah rubbed his temples again.

"Angela you have to tell me more about what is going on, I can't be left in the dark for this one." She'd stopped and turned to him.

"There is nothing more to tell, my husband tricked Hiro Nakamura into bringing this child back from 10 years in the future. She's now running around, capable of who knows what! And with Sylar of all people."

"If she has such a dangerous ability then how do we know Sylar hasn't killed her for it yet?" Angela fell silent avoiding Noah's gaze.

"Fine, there is one bit of information, but I guess if you and your team are going after them you'll have to know." Noah was intrigued now, but Angela didn't continue.

"What? What is it?" He pressed and Angela looked up, her eyes connecting with his and looks of either wonder or fear were in her eyes.

"Sylar took her paper work and he files; we saw it on Arthur's security camera. He's probably read it by now and figured it out."

"Figured what out?"

"That Reivianna Gray, is his daughter."

'She was home again. Not her adoptive home, not the trailer before that, not the orphanage. Rei was at home with her parents. She couldn't remember their faces, only their smell and touch. She could remember her mother's warm smile and blonde hair, and her father's kind eyes. They were eating dinner when it had happened. A man burst through the door, shot Mommy with a tazer and tried to get her father as well. He'd moved faster than she'd ever seen him move, diving into the next room and grabbing her in a bear hug, trying to escape. She remembered that hug. The only thing she truly remembered about her father, his strong but comforting grip, his smell, his sobs. He was crying. Then everything was black. Her father's warm embrace taken away from her and she was lying on an army cot, in the basement of the orphanage. Men came in, told her she'd bumped her head really hard. She couldn't remember anything. They came back every now and then to see if she had, and she'd remembered bit, but never told them. Because the bits she'd remembered told her the men were bad and would hurt her if she remembered, like they'd hurt her parents…'

Sylar was aware of the young girl beside him tossing and turning and mumbling for two reasons. One, there was only one bed and as awkward as it was, if he was to get any sleep he had to crawl into the bed with her. This wasn't that big of a deal because it was a large bed, and she took up hardly any room at all. Two, Sylar couldn't sleep with all the thoughts running through his head. Then she started mumbling, little incoherent things at first. However, as her dreams progressed the words became clearer and she'd started to toss around a bit.

"Don't." She whispered and started to tense up. "Don't hurt my Daddy." At this Sylar shot up in the bed looking down at the girl, curled up in a ball and breaking out into a cold sweat. Her eyes shut tight and Sylar frowned.

Then a lamp, heavy and firm flew off the nightstand and into the opposite wall. Sylar jumped, it wasn't his doing, why would he throw a lamp? A picture frame then fell off another wall and Sylar realized something. Rei had more abilities than one. He looked back down at her, she clung to a pillow almost sobbing, the mumbling less distinguishable now.

'She'd hated the orphanage. The other kids always picked on her. She could have fought back but never did. She couldn't bring herself to do it; instead she'd just take their punishments, tape up her broken glasses and keep quiet about it. One day though, the bullies had caught her off the property, in a back alleyway. There were no supervisors to break up the fight. They beat her bad; she thought she'd die, just like her parents. Rei then felt something, a sort of power that suddenly surged through her. The bullies all flew against the walls of the alleyway. Rei didn't know how she was doing it but it was almost second nature to her she just understood how it worked. It was telekinesis. Then she felt something return to her. She was in that place between sleep and consciousness. Being held, hugged, in a familiar way. It was her father's strong, caring hug. And she could smell his familiar scent.

Rei relaxed in her sleep, she'd stopped crying and even hugged Sylar back a bit. He didn't know why he'd done it; he had wrapped his arms around her sleeping form and tried to comfort her. Sylar had forced himself to think it was because he didn't want any more things flying around creating noise and drawing attention to their room. But there was another motive a more kind hearted one. Sylar didn't want Rei to cry for him.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I know this chapter's a tad bit sad and sappy but I had to do it, it was the only way to catch a glimpse at Rei's past. Plus, demonstrate Sylar's conflicting feelings of murderer and father. I think it was cute personally :) Please review, I really appreciate them!

Next Chapter Up Wednesday Night!
