Chapter 2
A/N: The story right now is three years before the first chapter and a year after Brave New World.
Disclaimer: I do not own Heroes.
Sitting at the desk of his new shop in New York, Gabriel silently worked on a watch. The news blared itself on the television sitting on the table at the other end of the office.
"A new super with an extraordinary power has been discovered!" a newswoman said. "Paul Eider, a small town man from Illinois, can teleport anything anywhere."
Gabriel shook his head as he watched the footage of Paul Eider. Paul was walking down the street, shielding his face away from the cameras. Reporters were crowding around him asking questions and trying to make him use his ability. It was a year after Claire had shown the world people with abilities. It was a brave new world, but with bravery comes curiosity. People were definitely curious.
The doorbell to the shop rang and a man with a small bag walked in. Gabriel turned off the television.
"Can I help you sir?"
The man looked somewhat baffled at first but soon recovered with a big smile and put the small bag on the desk.
"Yes I have some watches that need to be adjusted."
Gabriel took out the watches and picked one up.
"These are very nice. May I ask where you got them?" he said staring at the watch he was holding.
The man stared at Gabriel for a minute, as if he was trying to comprehend what he had said.
"Oh yes!" the man said after a moment. "They belonged to my father. He loved to collect nice watches. He died ten years ago and I finally decided to sell them."
Gabriel felt a tickle in his head. "Uh oh, somebody is lying."
"What is your name sir?"
"Austin Welks."
"And Austin Welks, when did your father die again?"
"Ten years ago…. Is there a problem?"
"No problem, except the fact that these watches were made three years ago. Does your father's ghost somehow continue collecting watches?"
Gabriel smiled as the man's face paled. The man quickly went out the door and ran outside, leaving his prized possessions behind.
"Return watches to Point West jewelry shop in Brooklyn. The owners will be very grateful." Gabriel noted as he put the watches into a drawer.
A/N: The story is going to continue where the last season left off. Also it is going to go through the process where Gabriel meets Bethany and so on. I liked this chapter because it reflects that he is on the good guy path (again) but still is the Sylar we know and love. He still has his abilities and knows how to use them so R&R or I will send him after you! Next part should be up soon! Again R&R!
