It had been three weeks since Sylar had his memory wiped.
He had struck up an instant friendship will Elle.
The petite blonde knew how he felt all the time.
He had begun training to become a company agent the day after he had joined. He was in the middle of one of the training exercises. He was fighting Elle; he had to prove that he could overcome someone with more experience than him.
She sent a bolt of electricity towards him; Gabriel stopped it with a twitch of his finger, he sent it flying back at her, knowing how she would react. She caught the lightning in her hand, she fired it right back at Gabriel. Gabriel reacted instinctively. He blinked quickly, focusing on the spot behind Elle. All of a sudden, he was there. Elle looked around confused, Gabriel smiled. He had discovered this yesterday when he had accidently locked himself out of his room. He tapped Elle on her shoulder. She spun around, trying to latch onto his arm so she could send her electricity pouring into him.
He used his telekinesis to send her flying onto the floor. Gabriel felt the hunger flair within him, Sylar would have been able to control it, but Gabriel had never felt this before as far as he knew, he had no experience in fighting it.
The manic look in his eye returned, like it did before he killed.
He walked forwards, gazing down at Elle with a beautifully evil smile on his face. Elle smiled up at him, unaware of the change in character.
"How did you do that...?"
Gabriel used his mind to clamp her jaw shut. Now he saw fear flash through her eyes. He smiled, enjoying the way she struggled against his invisible bonds. Gabriel stared intently at her forehead.
He knew what to do.
He raised his arm to point his index finger at her head. The skin began to split; blood began to drip down her face.
He heard the door swing open, he turned to see Bennet and ten special people rush into the room.
One of the people, a small thin man, darted forwards with superhuman speed, punched Gabriel in the stomach, before raining blows all over him.
Gabriel teleported out of the whirl of blows, he arrived behind Bennet. He saw the man next to him whirl round, white flames appearing on his hands.
Gabriel could feel the heat from where he stood ten feet away. He teleported next to the flame bringer, grabbed his arm and teleported to Gabriel's room.
The room was small. A single bed lay by the wall, with a bedside table holding a lamp next to it. The bathroom was the only other thing in the room. Gabriel sent the flame bringer flying to be pinned against the wall. The man had fiery red hair, a tanned complexion and bright green eyes. Gabriel raised his hand and began to slice.
He had finished with the first victim.
He had proceeded to feed the hunger by teleporting to the level five cells.
He had gotten Knox, Doyle, and Canfields abilities.
He knew that they had done something to him.
They made him forget who he was.
He was determined to remember.
He teleported to the company records room to find someone who had the ability to heal people. He found a man named Linderman. He teleported to Linderman's current location.
He arrived in a stylish casino, somewhere in Vegas. He saw Linderman talking to a large gorilla-like man, presumably the head of security, by the fact that he wore a suit. He walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. Linderman turned and smiled at Gabriel. "Mr. Linderman, could I speak to you in private please. It's about your....talents." Gabriel smiled. "Yes of course." Linderman had an English accent, gesturing towards one of the doors that read "SPECIAL ACCESS ONLY" (AUTHORS NOTE: THE SIGN DIDN'T HAVE SPECIAL ALL WIERDED UP, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT STAND OUT.)
They walked towards the door; Linderman unlocked it with a bright blue key before they slid inside.
They were in a room with piles and piles of guns.
Rifles, pistols, you name it and it was there.
"I need you to help me Mr. Linderman, these people, they took away my memories and I need them back. If you don't help me, then I'm going to cut open your skull and take your ability for myself." Gabriel kept smiling all the way through this little speech. Mr Linderman smiled, "All you had to do was ask." He placed his hands on each side of Gabriel's face. He remembered everything. Every tiny detail of his life. Sylar smiled. "I know what I have to do now. Thank you. In my gratitude I won't kill you." Sylar teleported out of the room.
He arrived in a bar, he moved forwards to the bar.
He ordered a beer, drained it in one breath, and walked out of the bar.
The cold New York air hit him hard; Sylar however didn't feel the cold.
His Cryokenesis ability made him unable to feel cold unless he wanted to.
He teleported back to his apartment in Queens, and changed his clothes to make him look a lot darker and mysterious and essentially more attractive to the person he was looking for.
He knew that she was in that bar, but he wouldn't approach her. She would have to approach him. He teleported back to the bar, opened the door and took up his former position at the bar. He bought a beer and drank it slowly this time.
He felt someone looking at his back; he had a sort of sixth sense with this, because when he was weak Gabriel, people stared at him all the time.
He turned in his chair to see the woman he was looking for staring at him. She had long straight brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, visible from all the way across the bar, an attractive hour glass figure and pure spotless skin.
He smiled at her, amused in the way that she blushed scarlet.
Her head darted away, an embarrassed look on her face. He kept staring at her until she looked back at him. Instead of looking away she looked right back at Sylar. He beckoned to her with his finger. She stood up and nervously walked over. She slid into the chair next to him, fidgeting with her hands as she looked at him.
"Hi"
Sylar greeted her as she sat down.
"Hi, I'm Jane."
Sylar smiled, he already knew her name.
"I know, you were a customer of mine a couple months ago."
Jane looked confused, "I don't think so, I would probably remember you if I was."
"Gray and Sons, the watch repair shop in Queens? I was the only employee there."
Jane looked as though she remembered now, "Gabriel? Wow you look so different."
Sylar's eyes hardened and became as cold as ice. "My name is Sylar."
He reached out to grab his beer, but he accidently pulled it to him using telekinesis, the beer slid over to him, sloshing slightly. Sylar raised the beer to his mouth and drained it dry. He slammed the glass down, a little harder than he needed to.
He looked back at Jane, his eyes softened as he saw that she looked slightly scared.
"I'm sorry, it's just, when I started a new life, I gave up my old name, it made me weak. Sylar is my name now."
Jane just pointed at the empty glass, and then pointed at Sylars hand; she had noticed the use of his telekinesis. Sylar hadn't even noticed that he used his ability, so he was now confused. "Jane, what's wrong?" She spoke in barely more than a whisper; Sylar could only just hear her above the noise of the bar. "The glass…it moved!" Sylar glanced down at the glass, looked at Jane and then looked back at the glass. "We need to talk." With that Sylar grabbed her arm and they teleported out of the bar.
When they arrived at Grays and Sons, Jane immediately flung herself away from Sylar, eager to put as much distance between them as possible.
"What the hell did you? What are you?"
Sylar smirked arrogantly, "Jane, I am human. I just have a few…talents that you don't."
Jane was now on the opposite side of the shop from him.
"Like what?"
Jane picked up a piece of wood, holding it like a weapon. Sylar could feel the fear coming off her; Knox's ability went into overdrive, working off the fear to give him strength.
"I can do many things Jane."
"Name them."
Sylar smiled. "I can do incredible things. I can move things with my mind, teleport, create and manipulate ice and snow, find anyone on the planet wherever they are. I can control fire, make you move how I want you to move, I can create black holes. I can use your fear to give me my own strength. I can feel your fear, it makes me strong. I can fire mind bullets at you, and I can see how things work, what makes them…tick."
Jane threw the piece of wood at him as hard as she could, it span through the air heading towards Sylars face. The wood stopped an inch from his face, hung there for a moment before bursting into flames.
Sylar stopped the flames from spreading by freezing the remains of the wood.
He began to walk over to Jane, slowly with his hands held out in front of him to show her that he wasn't going to hurt her.
Jane did something that Sylar wasn't expecting.
She ran over to him and slapped him across the face with all her might.
Sylar let the blow land unhindered. He looked at Jane and was shocked to see that she was smiling.
"I knew I wasn't the only one." She leapt forwards and hugged Sylar tightly, it took Sylar a few seconds to react he hugged her back, kissing the top of her head. She smiled up at him. "You have an ability?" Sylar was curious, he wouldn't kill her. She nodded and pulled away from his embrace. She walked over to the desk that Gabriel would have worked at, pulled open a drawer and took out the gun that Gabriel kept there. Sylar stood there watching, waiting for her to make her move and show him her power. He was shocked when she pressed the gun against her chest and pulled the trigger. The silencer on the end of the gun covered up any noise. Blood poured out of her chest. She fell to the floor. She was dead.
