Sylar's gears were still turning as the nurse and a burly orderly escorted him down long halls and through a strange, sunlit room. He'd been forced to drop his pen when the orderly had seen it, and since then, he'd realized that this place had better security than he'd originally anticipated, as well as a large population of patients. It looked

While he was busy plotting, one of the nurses showed up to escort him to the cafeteria. He followed along in brooding silence. This was his fourth day here. Four days, and still all he had to show for his efforts was a baseball bat. And he hadn't even acquired that on his own.
Leon piled up a plate with food and found an empty table. The Head Doctor had said there were new patients arriving today, and already he thought he saw a couple people he didn't recognize. How was Landel able to get them all here? He munched contemplatively on a piece of bacon, watching the doors as the patients arrived.

No, it wasn’t really because of any of those things, though they might have played a part. Mostly, Diva suddenly woke in the same hospital bed, in the same hospital room, with the same human nurses cooing at her like she were stupid, and reluctantly accepted the thought that she was going to have to try new things to get her way. And in Diva’s language, ‘new things’ meant being craftier. Thinking ahead. After all, the longer she went without any clue as to the whereabouts of her children, the more she realized that the stakes were so much higher than she kept thinking ( ... )

"Hello," he replied. He nodded at the chair across from him. "Want to sit down?"

"I want to know more about the ‘visitors’," the Chiropteran continued, in her best curious girl role. She was pretty, sweet, and innocent, and people should generally be kind to her, because she was a fragile human youth. "The ones that get called fakes. Do you know about that? It's really important."

Being "visited" by those two perfect, tiny children, too close in blood to be anything but her daughters, was something that remained burned in Diva’s memory. Any mention of it, any at all, was important to her. She didn’t believe they weren’t hers, but she had to know the truth of it, to know how she had daughters without any memory of giving birth.
She hoped he would say something interesting, whatever the case.

"He tried his best to kill me," came the best answer she thought of. "But I think he just liked to see me bleed. He likes it."
It'd been the same for her, really, since she had no active reason to kill him. Her determined onslaught had been her brand of self-defense, in a way.

Her wide-eyed concern and questions took Leon aback, a bit. "I-- no. I'm worried, that's all." Not scared. He didn't get scared. Or at least, he didn't admit to it. Only way to keep going. "He eats people? Like... a vampire?" Maybe it was the same guy. There couldn't possibly be that many vampires running around here.
Right?

"That's horrible," he said. "What'd you say he was called?" He was certainly going to be keeping a watch out for this individual. No one like that should be allowed to roam the halls at night.
He paused for a moment, taking a sip of orange juice and going back to what she'd said earlier. "You have children?" he asked. She looked awfully young to be a mother. Still, it was hardly impossible. They would have to be quite young themselves, though. Probably only a couple years old, at most. And she seemed to think that the visitors were fake. So maybe something had been off about the children they'd brought in to see her.

The Chiropteran wondered if she could force her blood into someone during these stifling daylight hours. She really needed a Chevalier.
Sitting back in her chair, Diva watched Leon in an appraising way, the balls of her feet brushing the floor as she slowly swung her legs back and forth. She shrugged and said, "Don’t know," in regards to Heat’s name. When he mentioned her children, both of her hands went to her stomach, her expression dimming. Withdrawing, in a way. This human was asking about her children...
"I know they were mine. But I don’t remember... how I made them. When they came out." She gave Leon a pointed look, as she had already told him exactly why this was a problem, and why it was confounding her. "I have to find ( ... )

At his question about her children, she visibly withdrew. Her reply indicated memory loss of some kind. He shook his head. "I don't know about your kids. I'm sorry," he said. Maybe some of the people here really were crazy and needed mental help. His impression of Diva was certainly shifting in that direction.

Turning her head, her gaze roamed over the various faces in the crowd.
As members of the Red Shield knew, Diva wasn’t like her sister at all. Part of the difference lay in her dependence on her Chevaliers. She had mothered them, and yet Diva was still the child that they looked after. She didn’t know how to take care of herself, and short of attacking the human across from her, she didn’t know how to go about finding those two little wide-eyed children.
Jeez, she hated this place so much!
