Sylar's been dealing with losing most of his powers. After a very long series of experiments in his room, he's been able to narrow it down to three remaining-- telekinesis, regeneration, and electricity. And, of course, the first and original. The hunger. It never goes away, does it? The need to know. All he'd wanted was to know who his birth

Keiko really wasn't expecting to get killed today... Then again, what college student really wakes up and thinks, "Okay, today I'm going to get my brain hacked into by a crazy wanderer." Yeah, because that's a thought that crosses everyone's mind.

She's just some random college kid, but even so, she's been a shapeshifter long enough that sometimes the animals she turns into get into her head. Right now, her personal favorite is twitching in the back of her mind. Run, run. Danger. Get out, get out.

She chooses to ignore it.

He can see it in the distance. There's the dark alleyway he's been looking for. He approaches without a sound, closer and closer until he's practically breathing down her neck. Then it's just a matter of a hand gesture, and Keiko is thrown into the alleyway by invisible telekinetic force. Sylar enters after her, the dumpster located there sliding in front of them to obscure the view of any passers-by.

A small smile creeps across his face. It's been so long. He'll have fun with this one.

"Today just isn't your day. Is that your true form, or someone you pretend to be?"

It's at that last moment that the animal inside her head is practically jumping around in a fit of panic. She freezes just a second before she's thrown into the alley and winces when she hits the concrete. Her arms are all scraped up and she feels like she might have cracked something, but that's not really the most significant of her worries.

"What are you talking about?" She says, rolling over a bit on her uninjured side so she can get a look at the man bearing down on her, her expression terrified.

"It's simple." With a flick of his wrist, Sylar lifts her off the ground, only to pin her against the wall. He steps closer, stroking her cheek with the back of his hand. "You've got something I want."

They're all more or less the same in the end. It's kind of disappointing, actually. He backs away from her, lifts his index finger, starts drawing the bloody line across her forehead, and waits for her to scream.
