Father and Son [Arthur]

[General Admin]

December 12, 2008

Gabriel Gray sighed as he flicked his Pyrokinesis towards glass. He was messing with his powers because he was very bored. Sylar never was bored, but lately he had nothing better to do and this kind of pissed him off. He hated being bored. He wondered if he should go back and work at his watch shop. That would be fun, or would it?

He leaned back in his chair and sighed as he placed his feet on his desk. He had his phone out and scrolled through the numbers in the book. They all had abilities and he wondered if he should just kill them. However, he decided that he wouldn’t be that harsh to people. Perhaps he would take a break in killing.

Then again. He personally hadn’t killed since Riley Bishop had joined Pinehearst. He really couldn’t believe what he was thinking when he agreed for her to join the company. He should have just said no and not let her join.

He sighed as he shook his head. He wondered when Elle was going to call him and tell him, he was an idiot for letting a little girl join a bad company. However, he hadn’t even had a call from her, so she must have not or Elle was in the mood to even call him and scream at him. Nevertheless, he really didn’t care. He conjured a lightning bulb and threw it at the door as he saw the door knob move.

Arthur Petrelli had a lot of work to do today. He did not feel like babysitting Pinehearst while it battled with smaller fish. His fish were very much larger than the average Jane Doe that came in with strange abilities. Yes, his fish was his wife and her sniveling little company that was trying oh-so-desperately to overtake his.

Didn’t Angela never learn? Primatech could never overtake Pinehearst, not in a million years and not even if Arthur died. And Arthur didn’t plan on dying any time soon. Speaking of dying any time soon, Arthur really didn’t want to think it, but, yes, he wanted Angela dead. He wanted her gone so he and his company could take over the world. That’s why he wanted Nathan to become president, so he could slowly, but forcefully, take over the world. It seemed that everything was going according to plan.

Until Gabriel showed up. Now Gabriel was maybe the best asset that had been handed to him hook line and sinker, but Gabriel had brought along with him an unwanted side-affect. Arthur had contemplated on killing little Riley Bishop, but had decided not to. Instead, he settled on going to his son to figure out why Gabriel had let her join. But that was just going to be the beginning of the conversation. Arthur knew that Gabriel would want to know what he would say after condescendingly speaking to him about Riley.

Don’t get him wrong, Arthur liked to have a Bishop in his little group. He liked having a Bishop because then he could get to Angela through her. And Riley was just young enough to be naïve, so naïve, he hoped, that she would tell him all her sister knew. Elle Bishop was the real catch, there. If he could get Riley to talk about Elle, he’d have a motherlode of information.

And how did Gabriel get his office? Arthur decided finally, as he opened the door to Gabriel’s office, that he didn’t want to know. Probably, his son had killed someone for it, but Arthur couldn’t remember when Gabriel could have done that. He looked up just in time to see a bolt of electricity coming at him. He put up his hand and the electricity stopped in mid-air, and then spun, revolving about his hand like the moon would around the Earth.

“What have we here?” Arthur asked, looking up from the electricity to Gabriel. “I seriously hope you aren’t meaning to kill me.” He said seriously, and then the electricity poofed into nonexistence. “Gabriel, I need to talk to you.”

[General Admin]

Gabriel Gray gave a slight smirk as he watched his father stopped the electricity in mid-air. It was amazing how he could make anything that was bulbs or balls to spin them around. He could do that also, but to be perfectly honest. He was bored. He looked at his father and folded his arms over his chest as his father spoke.

He wondered what his father wanted to speak about. It seemed kind of urgent in his voice or was Sylar’s mind just telling him that!? He had no clue. The only reason why he had no clue was because he had just met the man that was his biological father. He had no clue how to act in front of this man.

He was raised by a watchmaker and a snow-globe collector. He wasn’t taught how to react to people. All he wanted was to be special and yet here he was being special. He wasn’t treated being special, but it really didn’t matter. Nothing ever did.

Sylar wondered what would happen if he hadn’t show up at Pinehearst a week ago. He wouldn’t be having this special bonding with his father. He never knew the love and affection of people that gave him love. No wondered he was a loveless bastard. He loved no one. Of course there was Maya and Elle, but he didn’t seem to care for them anymore.

“Well, then talk father!” Sylar said as unfolded his arms and got up from the chair he was sitting down at. He wasn’t a type of business person and had no clue how to talk with people. He supposed that it would be best to talk while standing unless his father motioned for him to site. “Well!?” He asked in a cold tone. He wanted to know what was so important.

[arthurp]

Gabriel was his son. Gabriel was his son. And yet Arthur only found out a short while ago. Angela had probably known that Gabriel was alive, and yet she hadn’t told him. Well, she’d pay for that; but later. Yes, Angela would pay, he’d make her. But back to the matter at hand.

Arthur looked at his son and gave a weak smile. Gabriel was just like him in every way. He wanted power, he wanted to revenge on many people, and he probably wanted to kill Arthur right now. Or maybe Gabriel just wanted to know what his father was going to say. And Arthur was going to say something, a lot of something.

Arthur stalked over to the window, moving like a large bear would, though not as shambling. He looked out of it, considering his words. “You let a girl join Pinehearst without my consent, though the kind receptionist says I went to talk to her.” Arthur said, still looking out the window. “Did you stop to consider the consequences of allowing a young teenager to join this company?”

Arthur turned to Gabriel and snapped his fingers together, producing a flame. “You did tell her that this company is not for her, didn’t you? And she still joined?” His eyes had avoided Gabriel’s until now. “Why haven’t you done anything about this girl, Gabriel? Why is she working for you?” And in a quieter voice, he added, "She could get her power stolen, or worse, killed."

[General Admin]

Gabriel wasn’t sure how this conversation with his father would be like. He didn’t know anything about his biological father expect for the fact that he was just like him. He really didn’t understand how he could be a part of this dysfunctional family. Nevertheless, Sylar enjoyed being a part of this family. Sure it wasn’t a regular family, but they were still family.

He watched his father walk towards the window. He had a feeling that this conversation was going to be about the teenager he hired. He hired Riley Bishop to be his coffee girl or whatever. It was just an innocent job and she wasn’t going to get anything out of him. He wasn’t going to let himself slip and confess some important information to a naïve teenager. Who knew no better.

“Yes, I did let a girl join this company” Gabriel said in a cold tone as he listened to his father, “I did think of the consequence of allowing her to join” He said as he briefly took a slight pause and raised his eyebrows as he watched his father produced a flame. He folded his arms over his chest, “Yes I did tell her, but she insisted, she thinks that I’m a good person” He said as he referred about Riley.

He knew that there would be consequences. He really didn’t take. He knew that his father would soon take his powers, if he didn’t like the response that he was giving him. Nevertheless, it was the truth. He gave a weak smile, “I haven’t done anything to her because I figured she could an asset to Pinehearst, she can get information from Primatech unlike Nakamura and Suresh” He said as he unfolded his arms and placed his hands into his jacket pocket.

[arthurp]

Arthur watched Gabriel from the corner of his eye. If this was the ‘legendary’ Sylar, he didn’t seem like much. But Arthur knew this information to be false, Gabriel was a smart, conniving man who took after himself. If the man wanted, he could kill Arthur here and now. What was stopping him? Arthur didn’t want to ask.

After listening to Gabriel’s excuse as to why this Riley person had joined the company, Arthur turned to his son and smiled. “This is a good thing, though.” Arthur said, backing up his inexcusable smile; Arthur almost never smiled. “She is a Bishop, so that means her sister is Elle Bishop. Elle works in none other than Primatech.”

If Gabriel was following Arthur’s plane of thought, then Gabriel would realize that this Riley person would be an asset--- Oh, there, Gabriel was on the same track of mind as Arthur; he had just stated what Arthur was thinking. Arthur thought about smiling, but knew he’d overdone his smiles for the day.

The older man flicked his finger and a flame sprang to his fingertips. He flicked it again and the flame disappeared. “Watch her, Gabriel.” Arthur said, refocusing on Gabriel. “Don’t let her out of your site.”

After a moment, Arthur straightened his cufflinks. “I have a mission for you.” And from underneath his arm he produced a formerly invisible folder. He hadn’t wanted Gabriel to know about it, and so had kept it carefully hidden under his arm. He handed it to his son. “Jashlynn Venise. Her ability is phasing. Do with her as you will.”

[General Admin]

Gabriel could kill this poor old man in a matter of seconds. However, something was holding him back. This man before him was his own father and he wasn’t going to do anything dumb. Arthur Petrelli had the power to take away abilities and he could also kill Gabriel in matter of seconds. Gabe didn’t want think of the possibilities.


As Gabriel spoke about why he let Riley join the company he was waiting for something. He was waiting to get slapped or thrown out of the window. Of course, he could defend himself, but sometimes he wished that Riley was around to protect him. However, on this particular day she was on a coffee for him.

Gabe raised an eyebrow as his father gave a smile. The villain had never seen his father smile and this was probably on a rare occasion. He decided that he wouldn’t press the issue at hand. He just nodded as his father spoke, “Yes it is, dad” He admitted “And we can gain valuable information from them and perhaps even take the company down” He said with a slight smirk.

Gabriel watched his father demonstrate if you would call that his powers. He just nodded as his father instructed him to watch after Riley. “Understood, sir” He said as he raised an eyebrow as his father told him he had a mission. He just looked at his father and wondered what this mission could possibly be.

He watched as his father handed him a folder. Gabriel always wanted to gain the ability of Phasing. He just gave a slight nod, “So I can take her ability or do you want her!?” Gabe asked as he placed the folder on his desk. He then changed the subject, “Also Dr. Suresh wants to know when you want him to start producing the formula to give people abilities”

[arthurp]

Arthur raised an eyebrow at Gabriel. He had gotten defensive over this new girl. Maybe his son, an alleged killer, actually had feelings for someone? He knew that the only reason why Gabriel didn’t kill him now was because of their blood bond. He wondered if he would have been dead right now if Gabriel didn’t know he was the man’s father.

But Arthur quickly dismissed the notion that Gabriel could possibly like someone as a friend or even a daughter or even a girlfriend, though the girl was too young for that. Instead, he focused on the matter at hand. Yes, this girl needed to die, and if Gabriel didn’t do it, then Arthur would. However, Arthur hoped it wouldn’t come to that.

The old man waved his hand absently. “You can do what you want with her. Be a cannibal and eat her if you want. As long as she doesn’t live to see the light of another day, I’m fine with whatever you do.” He wondered what Gabriel would do. Actually, he wondered if Gabriel would kill the poor girl. He had heard that ever since Riley had come along, Gabriel hadn’t killed anyone. If a little girl could get to a man like Gabriel, then she must be some good thing.

At the mention of the formula, Arthur started. Was Mohinder really ready, or was this just another silly joke he was trying to play. “You can tell him to get started on it any time. We have what we need, and all we need is him.”

[General Admin]

Gabriel felt as if Riley was his friend. Sure he had a lot of friends, but she was one of the few that he had let her get close. He wondered if Riley knew that at any moment, he could snap and kill her. However, he had been good in not wanting to kill her. Perhaps he really cared as her as a friend or was it more?

Nevertheless, Sylar really didn’t think as Riley as a girlfriend. He was single and he had his attention on someone else. But no one was actually going to know. Or perhaps they already knew. He wasn’t going to tell anyone who that “special” someone was. They all could find out on their own.

Excellent Gabriel thought to himself. He was going to get back in the mood of killing. He personally missed killing people. He wondered if he could perhaps kill without Riley noticing. It would be the best. He had a reputation to keep and he had been holding back on the mass murders. He was going to kill this woman. And all would be back. “Very well” He said with a slight smirk as he picked up the folder and got up from the desk.

He then took a bag that was under his desk and placed the folder in the bag. He placed the bag on his shoulder and folded his arms as his father informed him to tell Mohinder to get started. “I will inform him, he has been doing something for Mother, but I’ll make sure he gets his ass over here to start the formula” He took out his phone and dialed Mohinder’s number.

He left a message and placed the phone in his jacket pocket. “Well, I’m off to Barstow, to get Jashlynn Venise and kill her” He said with a smile as he closed his eyes and vanished into thin air.

[End!?]
