Ending 2:
They sat at the kitchen table after putting a sugar-high Molly to bed (finally!). They were grateful to have made it through the night, but they knew that even a grand adventure wouldn't solve all their problems.
"So... we make a pretty good team," Matt said, leaving the bait out there.
Mohinder took it. "We should work together more often."
Matt sighed. "I can't help feeling like there's something you're not saying to me. Whatever it is that's making you feel so... whatever it is you feel... I want to help. All I'm asking for is a chance to listen and maybe to help."
Mohinder hesitated. "I know you've been patient, Matt. And I appreciate that you haven't ... pried."
Matt looked at him guiltily. "I know I've sometimes... used my power in ways that I shouldn't have."
"Yes. And if you use them on me, that's a dealbreaker," Mohinder said. He was sipping his tea gracefully but there was steel in his demeanor.
Matt grimaced but nodded. "And if you keep something from me that I have a right to know, that's a dealbreaker for me."
Mohinder sighed. He paused but then answered, "Look, I think - there are rumors that- Sylar is alive. And if I can get Bennett or the Company to get him out of our lives for good, then I have to take the chance."
Matt slunk back into his chair, shocked that Sylar might be alive, his mind flashing back to all that Sylar had done to the three of them. They were a family built on trauma caused by him. But, seeing the determination in Mohinder's eyes, Matt slowly nodded. He knew it pained Mohinder to even say Sylar's name out loud, knew how much it took for Mohinder to trust Matt with the maelstrom of feelings and regrets and rage that Mohinder felt about all things Sylar. Finally, Matt decided that if Mohinder could be brave enough to talk about it, Matt would be patient enough to let him work it out on his own. He told Mohinder, "Okay. Do what has to be done."
"I'll have to leave tomorrow anyway. To convince the Company that I'm fully on board with them."
"But you're coming back," Matt said.
Mohinder smiled and placed his hand over Matt's on the kitchen table. "Always," he promised.
"Molly will be upset," Matt said.
"But she'll understand that we're doing this for the sake of our family," Mohinder answered.
Matt smiled at him. "You know, Mohinder, before Molly wakes up, we have time to play Sleeping Beauty, just you and me," he said with a raised eyebrow.
Mohinder smirked and said, "Here I was hoping we could play Pooh bear and Eeyore."
Matt scowled, "I said to never speak of that."
Mohinder laughed and leaned in for a kiss. "Fine. We'll make up a brand new game."
"Sounds good," Matt said when their lips separated, "Because if you're going to be gone for a while, let's make sure tonight's something to remember."
