Prompt: am
I am Sylar, he carves into flesh, his own and others’. I am Sylar. I am, I was, I will be—SYLAR. He cuts the words into arms and torsos, into thighs and backs. His name, over and over, a threat, a promise, an inescapable fact.
I am Sylar, I am Sylar. No longer insignificant, nothing, forgetful and weak. I am special, I am unique, I am power—I am Sylar.
His flesh heals, the words fading back into his body. The others die, bleeding out and crying. He watches, the promise on his skin comforting after living the lie. I am Sylar, he whispers. I am Sylar.
Angela Petrelli sobs, wrists tied together, legs broken. Please, she begs, unable to look away from her dead conspirators, the men who locked him inside someone else’s memories. Please, Gabriel.
He turns to face her. Everyone else has already been punished, those who stood at his funeral pyre and cheered his passing. Only Angela and Mohinder remain, and he has plans for the doctor. Slow, sweet plans.
Angela, he says. You are not my mother. Twice now, she has lied about that. He strides up to her and looks her over—the pale skin, frightened eyes, blood sluggishly dribbling out.
Please, she cries. You’ve already killed my sons. My granddaughter.
Say my name, he demands.
She closes her eyes. Sylar.

Date: 2009-07-10 12:44 am (UTC)Do you have a prompt in mind for this 'more'?
(no subject)
Date: 2009-07-10 09:42 am (UTC)Actually I have a particular one in my mind, but since I only watched season one and two so far, it’s more pre-Nathan/Sylar.
That’ll change in a week or so when I’ve watched season three…So I’m not sure if that’s the actual prompt you want?!

Date: 2009-07-10 04:14 pm (UTC)Okay, since I can't post on your laptop here's my 'idea'.
I wondered if Gabriel Gray had a crush on a girl/woman before he turned into Sylar. I'm fascinated by the shy boy he used to be when Suresh met him first.
What if he, well, loved someone and felt that she was to special to ever concider him as a lover?
And now, after he's Sylar he meets her again.
I'm not sure if that's silly? Whatever. Just an idea.
