lol, bad is definitely relative here. Especially when Angela is willingly giving Sylar victims!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting!

YES!

Someone was asking today what Sylar's one weakness is. Its SO Mohinder! Even following the Cannon of the show. Mohinder is the only person we've seen him form some semblance of a kinship with thus far.

Okay...I'm gonna ask you to continue this. Any chance??

Like I said, I doubt I'll have the time or energy to expand on this. I have some vague thoughts on a Mohinder POV sometime after this one, so I'm not drawing a complete blank, but I don't think it's very likely. I've had a urge to write something of Mohinder's reaction to his circumstances since the premier but that hasn't panned out either...

Sorry?

I'm glad you enjoyed this little snippet though. =)

YES! The moment Bennet said he was looking for Sylars weakness I thought of Mohinder. I love the way you explained it, set it up, it just seems so real to the show with Mohinder ending up at The Company and the agknowlodgement that Sylar is choosing to be kept which is something I haven't seen touched on yet.
I especially love the emotion in this and the way it comes through even with it being short and from an outsiders POV which actually makes it a bit stronger because this is kinda the first time he's ever seen Sylar act as something other than a killer.
This is my favourite line:
"He approached Suresh’s prone form with a hesitancy that Bennet had never seen in him before. It was fascinating. Almost like some compulsion was drawing him forward, one he yearned to fight and yet could not."
It's just perfect.
Brilliant snapshot.

The moment Bennet said he was looking for Sylars weakness I thought of Mohinder.
My first thought was, initially, that Sylar has no weakness! He's got Claire's ability now, he can't die! Then I immediately jumped to this, hee!

Thank you!

Oooh, I like this. Poor Mohinder.

I like that you left it ambiguous as to what Sylar is feeling there - you could read it as either 'shippy, or more in keeping with Sylar's creepy- but-not-necessarily-sexual canon fixation on Mohinder. (Or, well, that's how it felt me, anyway)

Awesome read, thank you for sharing it! :D

[neshel]

I like to keep things cannonical wherever possible, so I'm really glad it came across that way. Yay!

Thank you!

YESSS! Mohinder is what I thought of immediately when HRG was talking about finding Sylar's weakness. :D

This is seriously fantastic. I could totally see Sylar doing all of this, saying all of this. *happy sigh*

And I want to know what Sylar whispered to Mohinder! LOL

A little mystery is always good thing.

Thank you!
