Elle was sitting nervously at Sylar’s side, gripping his hand as Peter went to fetch Angela and Noah. She was still unsure of this plan, of trying to be good, of trying to reform and be decent parents. Could people like them really do that? All she could think of were the words Sylar had whispered to her that night on the beach. What if they really were just damaged goods? Was it fair to bring a child into such a situation?
Not that they had much choice about it now. She would never be able to give up her own child. Maybe she was selfish that way, but she knew she wouldn’t be able to do it. All she had ever wanted growing up was a family. But after all the things they had done, did they really deserve one?
Sylar glanced over at her, giving her hand a bit of a reassuring squeeze. “It’s going to be okay,” He whispered softly. “If she tries anything, we can still fight back. We’re stronger than a woman like Angela.”
Elle laughed softly at that. “That’s not what I’m worried about.”
He blinked a little, staring at her in confusion now. “Then what is it?”
“Do you really think Peter is right? I mean, I was okay with going around and killing with you, I even enjoyed it…but to bring a child into the situation, both of us are going to have to change, because it’s not fair to the child if we don’t, but do you really think we can do it?” Her biggest fear is that she would damage her child, like her father had damaged her. Or like Virginia had with Gabriel.
“I don’t know.” He answered honestly. “I killed you once, what if I lose control and kill you again? Or kill our child? I keep wondering about that…but we have to at least try. Peter seems to believe in us, and maybe it won’t be exactly like the future he saw, but maybe it can still be okay. “ His words weren’t as sure or concrete as he would have liked them to be. He had to wonder who he was trying to convince. Her or himself.
“Do you still want to look for your real parents?” She asked carefully, changing the subject now. She knew that had been important to him, finding out where he really came from. She couldn’t blame him, as painful as the memories she had of her parents were, Elle was glad to have them back. It made her feel more…connected to the world, somehow.
“Maybe someday. But I think for now…I don’t even know what they’re like. Whether it would be safe or not to take you with me while looking for them. I don’t what kind of people they are.”
“I’d wait for you”
He smiled a little in that, pulling her closer to him, pressing a soft kiss against her lips. “But I don’t want to leave you. Who knows how much you’ll be able to use your powers once you’re further along in the pregnancy” He’d imagine that much electricity would probably hurt a child. “I almost lost you once, I’m not letting that happen again.”
“How heartwarming,” came a sardonic voice, and the two looked up to find Peter returning to the room with Noah and Angela.
“So I’ve heard that you’re going to keep the child,” Angela replied calmly, unable to resist letting a small, smug smile tug at her lips.
“We are” Elle replied, her body tensing up as the other woman spoke. Any signs she had been showing of being vulnerable a few moments ago were gone now that the others had returned. “But not so you or the company can use it. I don’t what you had planned when you brought me back, but we’re not playing your game. Not anymore.”
“I explained that to them.” Peter replied, looking briefly at his mother, and then to Noah. “She even agreed to allow you to both go freely, despite the recent murders, but on one condition.”
“And what exactly is that condition?” Sylar asked, his voice skeptical. After everything Angela had pulled with him, he wouldn’t trust Angela any farther than he could throw her. Which was actually pretty far, what with his telekinesis and all, but that was beside the point.
“You two are going to move to Costa Verde, where I can keep an eye on you. Think of me as your parole officer.” Noah replied, sounding no happier about the situation than they probably were. But he’d rather have them where he could make sure they weren’t causing more trouble.
“And what if we refuse to go with you?” Sylar asked, not at all comfortable with the idea of being put under Noah’s watch. Peter was one thing, Peter he trusted. But Noah had killed him once, and turned him against Elle, he didn’t trust that man at all. He was the last person he wanted to keep in check with.
“Then you’ll be taken back to Primatech, to Level Five” Angela replied calmly, glancing over to the Hatian, who was beginning to stir now. “You didn’t really think he was going to be out for that long, did you? So either you agree with my terms, or I’ll have you taken away, and when your child is born, he will be taken away from you, to be raised by other people, away from you. He would never even know the two of you existed. Is that what you want?”
Elle’s face paled a little at that. She placed a protective hand over her stomach, her eyes hardening. “Fine, we’ll go with you. But we’re only checking in once a week, and as long as we’re not killing anyone or causing crimes, Glasses and his family leaves us alone, you hear me?”
“Don’t worry Elle,” Noah said calmly. “I don’t want to have to see you anymore than I have to.” He had felt sorry for her, once upon a time, but if she was deciding to stay at the side of a monster like Sylar, someone who had killed her, well, his sympathy only went so far.
“And I’ll be by when I can to help you guys as much as I can,” Peter replied. “I would have agreed to watch you myself…but I need to try to stop Nathan as well.” He felt bad, because he genuinely wanted to help them, but if he let Nathan go through with his plans, things would get a lot worse for everyone.
“So, are we all in agreement then?” Angela asked calmly.
Sylar looked at Elle, and when she gave a small nod, he turned back to Angela. “Fine,” He replied begrudgingly. He didn’t like the idea of being watched over, it still sat with him badly, but he would cope with it. “But only until our child is born. Then you leave us alone.”
“Only if you give us no reason to watch you,” came the calm reply from the Petrelli matriarch.
