In the blasted field in which they find themselves, all attention is drawn to the titanic monument shoved into the ground. It looks almost like a gravestone, but a hundred times too large-- and the name on it seems for all the world to have been clawed onto its surface.
Oh, and there are two people resting at the foot of it.
Chandra, for one, is finding this place by degrees overawing and rather frightening.
...and with the arrival of the Sylars, the dial just swung right round to the second notch. He makes a strangled noise and grabs Darla's shoulder.
The Sylars' feet barely have time to touch the ground before Darla is up and crushing air in nervous fists, sending them both into a deep sleep with a careful, practiced application of biokinesis.
Whereupon she takes hold of Chandra's arm and runs like blazes.
Not expecting duplicate.
Expecting unconscious duplicate less.
Descending rapidly.

You know the one.
"How many do I get?"

"Seventeen," he says, with a smile that matches perfectly. "And counting."

"...one we can find people with?"
Alas that now he may never meet Molly Walker. Not that it would have done him much good if he had.

"Enhanced hearing," he says shortly. "There are two people that way."
And one of them sounds... familiar.

"We'll have to take them by surprise," seems like a useful thing to add.
"Are they close?"

It's worth mentioning that at some point in the past thirty seconds, Sylar-Here has started to hover.
"I think it might be best if we flew," he adds, offering a hand.
TOTALLY NOT SHOWING OFF. IT'S PRACTICAL. YES.

(No, he cannot take his older self's brain, because then his younger self would come along one day and take his.)
"...it might." Hand-acceptance, and greedy staring. (Not to mention awe. Can we mention the awe? And the homg-is-he-going-to-fly?)

They don't just fly; they fly fast.
And Sylar-Here is grinning.
Idly, over the sound of wind: "I know where you can find the man I took this from."

"Where?"

And that's about when they land.

Fucking.
Hell.

Sylar opens his mouth to admit the words 'didn't I kill you?', and is instead silent for a moment of sheer and total shock.

But Darla is quicker on the draw today.

That's the second time in less than an eight-hour period that this Sylar has felt the train line of his own mechanism get switched.
Perhaps fortunately, it's only annoying for about half a second.
