Enemies to Lovers – Part Twenty
Peter looks back at his brother with wide, hurt eyes. He isn't quite sure he believes what is happening.
"You have done well my son. Now show her to me."
Sylar nods and walks toward the room Molly, Marie and Noah were sharing.
"Marie, can you come out her for a second?" he asks.
The little blonde girl walks out of the room with fire in her eyes. She makes a growling noise at Sylar.
I told you he was evil, Matt tells Peter in his head. I told you, but you wouldn't listen.
Peter doesn't reply. He just watches, unsure of how to react as events play out before him.
"Hey there darlin'," Arthur says to the girl. "I just wanted to thank you for giving my son's powers back to him."
"Liar."
"Now sweetheart, it's not nice to call people liars. Especially nice people who just want to help you."
"I know what you are. You are not a nice person. You're a liar and a thief and a killer and I hate you."
"Hate is a strong word," Sylar says, scooping her up into his arms. She kicks him in the thigh and elbows him in the ribs, but he seemed to be impervious to the pain.
"How could you do this Gabriel?" Peter asks, turning his back on their father. "How could you."
"He was playing you from the beginning. We knew you could lead us to several resistors, but I don't think we ever expected such a jackpot. Right here we've got you and Parkman and three kids I'd rather not have around. Plus you've given us the locations of several others, without even realizing. Nathan is in Africa searching for the Haitian who is on company business. Claire is staying with Mr. Bennett in his mother's home. Hiro Nakamura and his idiot friend are in Odessa trying to gain Hiro's memories back. And my dear Angela is running the whole shebang."
Peter looks down at Gabriel and snarls at him. He couldn't have been angrier. How could Gabriel have done this?
Easy. He wasn't Gabriel.
He was Sylar.
