This was really great. I love looks at minor characters like this, and I just love Micah.

Thanks! I love using fanfic to plug plot holes, like why Rebel was so cryptic with the people he contacted and why he didn't just ruin the building 26 computer infrastructure. Also, how do-everything-mook was able to notice hacking attempts so quickly, and thwart them with a few aimless keystrokes, or just by staring at his computer screen really hard for a few seconds. :)

Plus I like the idea of specials working covertly for Danko to bring down other specials.

[black_sluggard]

Yeah, that's kind of what I tried to do with the "autohypnosis" ability in Black Edelweiss. Because Sylar had to have had way more abilities than we saw during season one, otherwise why the bodycount? Plus, it explains how he managed to fake his death besides "Spooky Sylar is Spooky". XD

[game_byrd]

Yes. That was an awesome plug there!

Ahah, another question for the writers: what other abilities did early Sylar have?

[means2bhuman]

This is awesome. I hadn't ever really thought about Rebel much, his limitations, but you answered a big one here.

I like the insight into Micah's struggle as he's hunted. Talk about a quiet underground war going on in the techno world. Someone's going to break the internet! *gasp*

Everyone's going to take do-everything-mook much more seriously from here on out!

"The guy could be doing black magic for all he cared, as long as it produced results." -- This made me laugh aloud! It kind of *is* black magic! Pulling quarters behind your ears, sword swallowing and dazzle with the smoke and magic mirrors....especially Macs...

Wow, you nailed Danko! "Sometimes I wonder..."

I would have died laughing if you'd have said "talent I have" at the end there, being more of a Sylar to Sandra reference S1 ("can't get over those irresistible...talents of hers"), but seriously, Danko. Seriously?

[game_byrd]

I wanted to leave Danko's thoughts open to interpretation there. Does he think the mook has an ability and Danko just doesn't care, is he really that oblivious about what is and isn't realistic for computer work, or are computers and security systems in the Heroes world really that different from our own?

And given that I can't answer that last one, I can't say whether it's reasonable or not for Danko to know something was up. Because if mook's maestro touch with computers is normal, then Danko wouldn't have anything to be suspicious about. Yet from my point of view, mook is doing all sorts of insanely impossible things, every episode, and Danko is rolling with it like it's no big deal.

The do-everything-mook! You just made me very very happy.

I have a weakness for fics that give insight into minor characters as it is and this one just supplied me with Micah and "mook". So happy. :D

Thanks! I'll bet this is the *only* fic out there about the poor guy!
