New York, Deveaux building
Adam turned around to face Hiro, smiling.
“That was quite a fall your father took,” Adam said, seeing Hiro’s expression turn to anger.
“You will pay for killing my father,” he said angrily.
“I told you I would destroy anything close to you...everyone you’ve ever know. Is that so hard to believe?” he asked mockingly, staring at him with no remorse.
“You were my friend and you were supposed to be a hero, not a villain,” Hiro said.
“I was...you were my inspiration. I was a rudderless drunk until you came along and taught me to be a hero and then turned me into a villain,” Adam said gleaming.
“That was not my fault,” Hiro said.
>“I gave you the chance back then but you refused it,” Adam said, still smiling at Hiro. “Maybe I would have become a hero if it hadn’t been for you. Your father would have been alive today if it wasn’t for you.”
“Nooooo!” Hiro yelled, staring at him, “I did not do this!” He was angered by Adam’s words.
Adam sneered slightly, staring at Hiro. “If you wanted your father back, you could go back and save him. What’s so hard about that?”
“Because I am not God...I cannot control other’s fate. It is wrong to play God with people’s lives. Because in the end, it’s still the same, fate will eventually take them to the path they need to be on, even if it is death.”
“Bravo...did your dad teach you that, before he met his end?” Adam asked mockingly.
Hiro suddenly lost control of his anger for the man as he swiftly stabbed the blade into Adam’s chest. Hiro pulled his sword away only seeing Adam smiling at him. He stood there without flinching, watching Hiro’s face twist even more in anger.
“Is that all you got?” Adam asked, laughing sadistically.
Hiro stood there shocked with disbelief that his childhood hero turned out this way. He seemed like he had no emotion, no feeling for anything. Like he lost all hope and everything he could do or think was about self-destruction. He was almost like Sylar, but far worse.
Hiro glanced away for a minute, too distraught by what just happened. He stood close to the same edge that his father fell off. Hiro suddenly turned around to find himself being pushed off the building. Hiro panicked as he looked over seeing Adam falling beside him smiling.
“I thought you wanted to find out how your father died,” Adam replied. Hiro looked down, seconds from the ground. He closed his eyes and teleported before he hit the ground.
Adam gasped as he felt the ground beneath him, hitting him hard breaking about every bone in his back. He leaned up somewhat dizzy as he felt his muscles tighten and the bones restructuring. He pulled himself up and he walked to his car. Hiro was nowhere to be seen.
He smiled after the fact, seeing Hiro panicking, angered, losing control as he fell to his doom wishing he did die right then, but he knew better. He knew Hiro would escape his doom because of his power, but it was fun while it lasted, he thought.

Two days later
Maya and Sylar made their way to their hotel room. He opened the door and stepped into the small room. The room had red curtains and a double bed in the center of the room. There was a couch in the small room beside it. Sylar walked to the bed, sat down and kicked off his shoes. He stretched his legs out as he flopped back on the bed, exhausted. It felt like it had been months since he slept on a mattress that felt this good.
Maya rubbed her arms as she stared at Sylar. She didn’t know why she stared at him like this. She was nervous sometimes being around him. She was afraid she was going to start having feelings for this stranger. She didn’t say anything as she made her way to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
He smiled as he heard the door shut. He’s alone with himself finally and he is relieved. Everything is in order, well somewhat. He had planned to take Maya’s ability long ago but something changed his mind. He seemed to be fixated on her. Ever since he found her and set his eyes on her, he knew he wanted her. But he never thought it would go this far.
Furthermore he hated that he felt this way. He hated she was making him feel this way, making him feel things that he hadn’t felt for a long time. He felt that need of being wanted for affection, that craving of passion and lust that was building in him more and more. He didn’t really know if he could really take that wonderful ability of hers now.
He sat up ignoring the throbbing bulge in his pants as he made his way to the bathroom door. He leaned on the door remembering when Maya’s lips were inches from his. He felt like he was going to lose control the closer he got. He told himself he wasn’t ready for that hunger, that need for lust. Furthermore he’s kicking himself now for not taking that chance then. If he had kissed her then, he probably wouldn’t be feeling this horny right now.
He opened the door slowly, stepping in as he telekinetically locked it behind him. His footsteps come slow, making sure he didn’t tip her off on his presence, though his body is aching for her. He crept up closer to the shower, seeing a blurry vision of her nude form. He walked closer ignoring the fact he is already aroused seeing her there. He leaned away from the shower as he heard her turn it off.
Maya turned toward the shower grabbing her nearby towel as she wrapped it around her wet body. She stepped out of the shower, turning suddenly as she heard a noise. She backed up only to find Gabriel appearing in front of her. She jumped suddenly wondering what he was doing here.
“Gabriel, what are you doing?” she asked, wondering how long he was in there.
He smiled as he stared at the towel wrapped around her wet body and her hair hanging down wet. He couldn’t help but stare, it was the most naked he’d ever seen a woman before. It surprised him that he was this drawn to her and that he couldn’t look away from her. He caught the shimmer of wetness on her skin, and he was mesmerized, wishing he could wrap his arms around her wet body.
“I wanted to talk to you”, he said, stalking forward. She backed up against the counter; suddenly frightened by the way he stared at her and felt like his eyes were undressing her.
He stared at her, pushing her curls aside, moving his hand across her face.
“Do you want me, Maya?” he whispered, his lips inches away from hers. She backed up, her heart pounds harder. “I don’t think this is the right time to do this,” she said, placing her hand on his chest.
“Tell me you want me,” he said as he quickly placed his hand on her thigh, lifting her and setting her on the counter.
“Gabriel...” she said, surprised by his sudden action. He moved closer as she tried to fight her attraction for him. She did want him but not like this, not here.
“Why do you lie?” he asked, caressing her shoulder, “I know you want me Maya, I can hear your heart beat faster by the minute.” She squirmed slightly; frightened by the way his dark eyes stared at her.
“You don’t have to say anything. Just don’t walk away.” He pressed his groin against her thigh and she couldn’t help but release a gasp.
“Gab...Gabriel,” she uttered. She breathed slightly knowing what he wanted as she felt his groin press harder into her thigh. “I’m not ready, not now,” her conviction hardly sounded through in her faltering voice.
He smiled knowing she’s lying again as he pulled her in for a kiss. His lips pressed against hers as he pressed her closer feeling her warm lips against his. His hand cupped her face, pulling a strain of wet hair out of her face. He swiftly thrust his tongue in her mouth tasting her, pushing his tongue against hers. She moaned and exhaled, his body pressed closer to hers. He moved away letting her breathe once more. She whimpered feeling his lips run over her neck now to her chin as her pulse was beating harder. He pressed his tongue against her throat. She let out a sigh as his hands moved to her shoulders and down her arms, caressing it tenderly.
“You don’t know how long I’ve waited to have you,” he said, kissing down to her collarbone. He leaned over moving his hand over her smooth back suddenly noticing a birthmark on her shoulder. It looked like a snake with two lines going across it. Looking very familiar to him.
He ignored that as he tried to tug the towel off of her. She grabbed her towel holding it as his hands tried to pull the towel. “No,” she said, holding her towel near her, pushing him away. “Gabriel I...can’t,” she said, moving off the counter. “I know you want this but...I can’t...not now,” she said, running to the door. She unlocked it quickly, looking away from Sylar’s dark eyes and ran out of the room.
He stood there surprised by her sudden reaction. He moved away from the counter wondering what just happened. She left him feeling sexually frustrated in every way. Furthermore he was aggravated that a woman was suddenly controlling his every emotion. He ignored the urge to rush out of there and take her as he walked into the shower, hoping this would help release some of the tension Maya was putting him through.
..................................................................
That night, Sylar moved to the other side trying to get a good night’s sleep, but every time he tossed he bumped into Maya, which wasn’t really happy with him from earlier. He moved over to the edge staying his distance as Maya intuitively reached out to him, her hands touching his bare chest. He rolled over wishing he had his shirt on now because he was getting hornier every time she touched his him. He looked over staring at her face noticing she was still asleep, maybe dreaming about something.
He pulled himself away from her, staring back at her face and that beautiful power that lies inside of her skull. He lightly traced a line across her head with his finger as he imagined the blood dripping from her forehead.
He smiled, about to make an incision when Maya suddenly woke up with a gasp. She turned frighten from a nightmare she just had as her arms wrapped around Gabriel’s neck.
“Gabriel…”
“Maya, what’s wrong?” he asked, cupping her face but angered that she woke up, messing up his plans.
“I had a nightmare that my brother died and I couldn’t help him because it was my fault,” she sobbed. Sylar held her, trying to calm her down. “You’re probably just homesick and miss your brother. Everything will be fine,” he said, rubbing her back.
Maya held him tightly, against her thin night gown. She wondered why she felt safe with this stranger. Furthermore wandering why she was having feeling for him too. She should be angry with him for trying to seduce her in the bathroom. But the more she was close to him the more she wanted him still.
Sylar cupped her hand staring at her, wondering why he was feeling like he was Gabriel Gray again. He frowned deep into his thoughts trying to figure out a solution to this problem. He got up, pushing her away, knowing he is doing this to irritate her since she left him in the bathroom earlier. Sylar stood up about to leave when Maya suddenly clamped her hands with his and pulled him back. “Stay with me, Gabriel,” she said to him. Sylar gasped at her actions as he sat back down, staring at her neck to her face.
His lips pressed firmly against hers for a moment, fingers brushing gently around her cheek before he released her lips. He stared at her, smiling knowing she probably wanted him now but he wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction now. He pulled her back in for a demanding kiss, as he thrust his tongue in her mouth. His hands glided down over her neck, pulling down her blouse from her shoulders. He pressed his face against her neck. She gasped out loud from his hand as he pushed her closer to him.
She was about to pull away, leave, do anything to get away but she wanted him, she desperately wanted his warm body against hers. Knowing she couldn’t fight what she wanted now. She was about to tug off the nightgown when Gabriel gave her a long passionate kiss, leaving her gasping for air.
He pulled her to the bed smiling as he caressed her cheek, staring at the curve of her breast. He kissed her forehead, rolled over and told her goodnight.
She was confused slightly on what he was doing. “Wha...what? I though we...”
Sylar smiled wickedly knowing he was doing this to tick her off since she did the same thing earlier with him. “I’m tired, Maya...but tomorrow we can begin where we left off,” he said smirking, knowing just what to say.
She smirk, slightly surprised by his action and sudden change. She lay down as he turned facing the other way. She couldn’t believe he did this. She wanted desperately to hold him and kiss him again. She wondered for a moment if he did this on purpose because of her actions earlier. She laid back down dousing off, sexually frustrated and angered for him doing this to her. Wondering if she should even give him the slightest chance of wanting him tomorrow.
Sylar smiled as he lay back on the pillow. He was thinking about that symbol again. He didn’t know why. He just knew that symbol was awfully familiar to him, like he’d seen it somewhere. He suddenly started remembering that night at Kirby Plaza again and remembering a sword, Hiro’s sword, the sword that Hiro stabbed him with. That symbol was on his sword, that’s why it looked so familiar. He laid back down pulling the covers over him wondering what it all meant.
He grinned slightly, hearing Maya toss around as he smiled knowing he would have her soon. He wanted to teach her a lesson, not to mess with a man’s emotions under pressure. Furthermore wondered out of all predicaments how did he get in this twisted arrangement with a woman.
...............................................................................
Not far from where Sylar was a young lady picked up her phone.
“Elle, did you place the tracer on the car?” a man asked.
“Yes father, it’s done.”
“Good work. I need you back here pronto. All we have to do now is wait,” Bob said, smiling as he hung up the phone.
Elle smiled placing her phone back in her purse, wondering how long would she have to wait until she faced Sylar. She wanted to see him squirm at the sight of her power and hoped he would be her new toy for the meantime since Adam escaped months ago.
