Heroes, "Something Good" Sylar/Elle AU drabble
Fandom: Heroes
Title: Something Good
Author: Paynesgrey
Rating: G
Pairing: Sylar/Elle
Challenge: Before Sunrise quote at sylelle_100: "I always thought that if none of your family or friends knew you were dead, then it's like not really being dead. People can invent the best and the worst for you." - Celine, from the film Before Sunrise.
Notes/Warning: Season 4 AU. No warnings.
Summary: She hides. She waits.
Everyone thinks I’m dead. Elle muses and sits inside her desert hideout. She strokes her belly and waits for him. The baby’s growing fast.
He returns at dusk a few months later, but it’s nothing unusual.
“I’m back.” He looks ragged and annoyed, but she’s glad he’s alive. “I had some issues with the Petrellis.”
He goes straight to her belly, touching, before he meets her eyes. “Your hiding is over; I’ve found us a home.”
“Where?” she asks, and he’s already packing her things.
“A carnival. With family,” he answers, and Elle notices something’s different about him - something good.
