Wow the concept is great! You can do so much with them, and having non-con later on and a three-some! *gasps* The possibilities! Not to mention Eden's powers! A few things though-

Sylar has Eden's powers, if he wanted to, he could have TOLD them to do something. But maybe showing them he has power over them is more gratifying.

I like that Peter hasn't discovered he can mimik through memory, I hated that development in the show. But wouldn't Peter be able to fight the TK using TK? Sylar's right there, what's stopping him? Maybe Sylar was too far away?

Post more soon!

Warning: long comment ahead! :D (Part one, apparently, as I type too much. Whoops.)

Glad you're enjoying it! The second installment is being worked on as we speak, because the bunny will not die. :)

Now, as for what you said:

Having them do something of their own "free will", as limited as said free will is, is much more of a power trip. Yes, he could quite easily say "okay, you're going to do this now, because I said so" but it's so much more effective in breaking his victims' wills if they do it without a power being used. Sort of "hey, you could have fought me. You didn't. Maybe you wanted to do what I said all along."

(That, and he may have been lying when he said he had Eden's gift. I'm leaving that vague on purpose, until later. There're other ways he could have found out about Isaac, after all.)

As for the telekinesis, theoretically Peter could fight the TK using his mimicking ability. However, while Sylar is close enough that Peter could mimic the TK, he's also had a lot more practice with it. I can't recall off the top of my head if the show is doing this, but it makes sense, to me at least, that Peter

This fic looks to be getting pretty dark pretty fast, which I like. The non-con will be... special, to say the least, and there will likely be elements of Stockholm's Syndrome, as I adore playing with that concept. I'm also looking at adding Isaac to the mix, and possibly some of the others, depending on where my muses take me. I've got a basic outline plotted, but specific events are subject to change.

Thanks for the comment. It's always nice to know people appreciate what I write. :)

[avaserenity]

[ficklepen]

Thanks for commenting! Believe me, the angst shall come. As shall the mindfucking! And the actual fucking, at some point. :D

[ficklepen]

Thank you! Hopefully the next installment won't be too far away. :)

Oh, wow. I love. Are you posting it all here, or should I friend you? ::Doesn't want to miss anything...::

[ficklepen]

I'll be posting it all here, and putting notifications of updates in heroes_fic and heroes_slash. I'm glad you're enjoying it! The next chapter should be up fairly soon; I had to pull an all-nighter last night to get a train at 4am this morning, so I did a lot of writing, and as soon as I've napped I'm going to proof and post. :)

Someone like you, sure; you borrow gifts, and then you go back to being nothing as long as you're on your own

Oooh. OOOH. Love the way you've written Sylar.

[ficklepen]

Thank you! I was a bit worried about whether I'd got his voice all right, but it seems to be working so far.
