Can I Be In Sylar's Army?

[romzy]

27th February

Harley wondered if the clock was being deliberately slow or whether time was just slowing down altogether. Her fingernails tapped the pine counter impatiently. This job was getting worse and worse by the day. Books seemed to stay shut nowadays. People didn't care for books anymore. They cared for computer games and gadgets. It was the same with comic books; the lives of superheroes were no longer as fascinating as the latest futuristic game.

"I'm going now Harley," One of the other young librarians said. Her brunette friend next to her giggled, "Safe bike journey home yeah?" The two girls burst out laughing. Harley rolled her eyes, sticking her middle finger up at the pair of them. She wasn't particularly bothered by them, but small things like that ticked her off. "Idiots." She mumbled, noticing the final announcement for the library closing was just fuzzing away in the background. Why was she leading such a 'normal' life? Why couldn't it be more special? The last few people trailed out of the automatic doors, leaving Harley and a couple of the elder librarians to finish up. She moved her arms off the counter, knocking a pile of books down to grey carpet. "Shit." She hopped off her stool, bending down to pick the various books up. Most of them were overdue books that had been returned two weeks late. She began piling them up on the counter, her arm barely reaching.

The sound of soft footsteps touched the floor around the circular counter. "Judy? Mary?" They were the only two librarians left other than herself, and it was very unlikely there was another member of the public left in the library. But there was no reply, just the continuous sound of the quiet, soft footsteps. They were light on their feet whoever they were. "Hello?" Harley said, suddenly nervous of someone else just behind the counter. She heard a book slam down on the desk. Ok, so it definitely wasn't Judy or Mary, they didn't have that much force left in them. Harley gulped, that force sound like when she used her Telekinesis to pile books up when no-one was around. Her eyes peeped up over the counter.

Gabriel decided to go to the library. It was very unlike him to go to library, but he grew board of doing things. Perhaps reading a book would make him feel like he was doing something. Sure people weren’t into books – he wasn’t into books. He just decided that it was something to do – like mingling with normal people for once.

Like that was ever going to happen. He entered the library, quickly and quietly as if he was just a normal person and went to a computer to look for some books. He found some that were of interest. He then was about to head to the check out area. He it finally arose to him that he had that stupid book of Chandra Suresh’s that he never returned.

He placed some of the books on a table and he disappeared for a moment (using teleportation) and hand the book in hand. He then took one of the books from the table an Astrophysics book to be exact an handed towards the checkout counter since no one was around – he used his powers to place the books on the counter.

“Hello” He said a bit sarcastic “I’m here to return this book, it has been some time and I would like to get this book” He said with a weak smile as he pointed to the book that he wanted to return and the book he wanted to get.

Henry was bored. Well boreder than usual. Ever since he killed that Lance guy, Henry didn't have much to do. So he decided to do what most kids would do when they were bored and head to the library. Ok, maybe most kids wouldn't go to the library, but he liked learning new stuff. So Henry found himself at the library around noon and picked out a book and began reading.

He didn't know when exactly, but he fell asleep while reading. It was just so quiet and the silence lulled him to sleep. He woke up to the sound of a loud banging. Disoriented, Henry looked around and found himself in the library. "Oh yeah...." he mused. Picking up the book from his chest, Henry telekinetically moved it to a shelf and pulled out another one. He obviously didn't know what time it was. He caught the book and looked up and the clock.

"Damn it's late." he muttered to himself. He had better leave before they closed on him. But it felt so good on this couch. Lazily, Henry telekinetically tossed the book into the shelf. However in his hazy state, he missed and sent the book soaring next to the check out counter. without realizing it.

[romzy]

Harley jumped upwards, suddenly startled by the book that was tossed her way. She hadn't yet noticed the tall man standing in front of the counter. It obviously wasn't him who had just sent the book flying past her head. This man, there was something different about him. The fact he had just thudded a book down on the counter had her immediately wary of him. "So how long has the book been overdue?" She stuttered, patting her t-shirt down over her flat stomach. He did not answer, but simply watched her. Harley blew a long breath of air out and went to lift the book. Wait. What was she thinking? Lift the book with her Telekinesis? Why this sudden urge? She shook her head, sitting down on the worn leather stool and lifting the book up. 'Activating Evolution' flashed through her mind. This book, she had seen it before.

Scanning the book with the little scanner, Harley checked the computer screen. 'Taken out 1st February 2006' Moving her head away from the computer, she didn't quite know what to say. "Legally, you're supposed to pay the full price of the book... it's accounted for as stolen/missing." Harley looked up at him, then at the library card he just slid over the counter. The thin plastic on the table shone underneath the desk lamp. The name 'Suresh' was clear. Once again Harley frowned, lifting the card up and looking at it. The full name read 'Mohinder Suresh'. Activating Evolution was open on the Author's Notes page. The photo of Chandra Suresh looked up at her. "Mohinder Suresh?" She asked, smiling slightly.

[General Admin]

Sylar watched as a book came flying across the counter. He didn’t do that. He just looked over his shoulder and just decided not to say a word. He was trying to be normal and being normal was quiet hard. He just didn’t say anything as she asked how long it had been overdue. It had to be a while. He had killed Chandra – three years ago. So it had to be around that time.

He slide her his library card which said ‘Mohinder Suresh.’ He had decided to use that name for some reason when he got his library card. Perhaps he thought using a fake ID would get him somewhere and it seemed to never get him far – at least he didn’t put ‘Sylar’ on his library card. It would just be awkward – even though he was after all known as Sylar. “Well, I’ll pay the amount, how much?” He asked a bit curiously as he nodded when she said the name. “Yes, Mohinder Suresh is the name” He said a bit sarcastically. Actually it wasn’t his name – he was just acting as if it were.

Henry realized that the distant sound off the book landing meant his aim was off. He wasn't normally this bad...well when he was actually trying that is. Sighing, Henry got up and stretched. He was amazed at how long he had slept. The chances of him going to bed tonight were shot. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Henry walked around the shelf, deciding it'd be good to pick up the book before anyone noticed it had flown through the air on it's "own". However, when his eyes adjusted, he saw two people at the check out. More specifically Sylar and some librarian. He quickly hid before either of them saw him.

"what is Sylar doing in a library?" Henry asked himself. Curious, he took a quick peek around the book shelf before hiding again. It looked like Sylar was trying to be normal. At least the librarian wasn't dead so that was a good sign.

Deep down, the immature side of Henry was brewing a storm. "Oh this is going to be fun." Henry said to himself as he silent snuck off deeper into the library.

[romzy]

Harley was no lie-detector but she could tell that wasn't his actual name. For one, he bared no resemblance to the man in the book. And two, she didn't suspect the relative of Chandra Suresh would need to take a copy of his book out from the local library. "It's 15 dollars." She said, suddenly alert that this man could be a spy... or worse.

The news of 'dangerous' people being taken in by government officials had hit the newspapers now. Harley didn't know what they meant by dangerous people, but she sure wasn't drawing attention to herself to find out. The man pulled a twenty dollar note from his wallet, sliding it over the counter to her. She smiled briefly at him, lifting it up and checking it. The silver rings on her fingers once more caught the light of the desk lamp, shining several white lights onto the counter and around the room.

"We're supposed to be shut, but I haven't seen the two other librarians about," She paused, pushing the till back in to the register. "Don't suppose you've seen them?"

[General Admin]

Of course it didn’t take a genius to figure out that Sylar wasn’t Mohinder Suresh. Hell, the guy was the Secretary of Health and Human Affairs. It shouldn’t take a genius to figure that out. However, people didn’t seem like they keep up with the world news anymore. No one seemed to these days. Everyone was more concerned about the rusty Economy to even look at the big picture.

Sylar smiled as the girl behind the counter informed him how much the book would be it would be fifteen dollars. He simply took out a twenty dollar bill and handed it to the girl. He was simply trying to be nice – which was rare even for him. But lately he was trying to be just a normal person and trying not to be that serial killer type what he was known for.

He shook his head, “No I haven’t seen them unless someone has murdered them” He said in a sarcastic tone. He loved being sarcastic. “Perhaps we should look for them, or maybe some government watch dogs have abducted them” He said rolling his eyes as he snapped his fingers. “Henry…I know you’re here” He said in a whisper hoping that Henry could hear him.

[romzy]

Harley was suddenly cautious of another person in the library. Another male. The two knew each other and she was apparently alone. What was there to do? Screaming was a cowards way out. And Harley was far from a coward. She noticed the man's sarcastic tone in his voice. It was obviously natural to him, as it was almost his natural voice, just tweaked slightly.

Telekinesis could work against this man, easily. She could just force him into a row of bookshelves or drop him off the top balcony. Paralysing someone again. Seriously? Thoughts overran her mind suddenly, she wanted to escape. Anger and fear building up inside her. What if they had been murdered? What if she was all alone? Her eyes glazed over with fury.

The way he clicked his fingers, as if calling for a dog. Surely no-one would answer to that?

[General Admin]

Sylar was getting furious Henry had no responded to him. Of course, his relationship with Henry wasn’t like Riley Bishop and Luke Campbell, but that was a part of the life. He shrugged his shoulders back. He looked at the girl and shook his head. “Seems like Henry isn’t coming” He said sighing “So we can do one of two things, look for them or just stand here and do nothing” Sylar said rolling his eyes.

He heard noises as two women appeared out nowhere. “Creepy” He managed to say as he turned to the person that was helping. “So I can get this Astrophysics book or not?” He asked in an arrogant tone as he made the books float in the air with his mind. He just wanted to get to where he was going. He hated libraries and thank god this one was closing soon. He didn’t want to stay in the vicinity of the library any longer.

Henry had no idea had had been discovered yet. His young teenage mind was practically goin into over drive as he thought up a good prank to play. After all, how many times did you find yourself in a library at night with two people in the building. Can you say haunted library?

Find a good place to watch the "mayhem", Henry positioned himself so he wouldn't easily be seen. What to do first he thought. Perhaps a flying lamp? Flicking his wrist idly, Henry sent a lamp into the air and crashing ominously to the ground. He soon followed it up with books flying off the shelves. The he turned off any remaining light mentally before turning on some others. He was trying hard not to laugh a loud.

[romzy]

Harley watched as the man in front of her lifted the books up. He wasn't touching them though. Much like she done when no-one was around. Her eyes widened. Was he... like her? Someone with an ability. The idea of using her telekinesis frightened her sometimes, especially if she were caught. But he done it without a care in the World. A smirk suddenly appeared.

"Sure," She said, looking him dead in the eyes. Her hand lifted and the small scanner followed, she directed it towards the floating Astrophysics book and scanned it. "Enjoy." She waited for a reaction, whilst still looking into deep and dark brown eyes. That was until a lamp came crashing towards his feet and books suddenly started flying through the air towards them both. Harley suddenly lifted her hand, stopping everything, every book that was flying through the air. Everything stopped.

[General Admin]

Sylar knew that he shouldn’t have levitated the book in front of him. But to be honest, he really didn’t care. He didn’t care because that was just him. He liked to frighten people – and when he moved objects with his mind, it freaked people out. However, it would seem that he moving the book wasn’t freaking out this girl. It would seem that this girl had ability also. He smirked as she scanned the book and let him actually have the move.

He then moved the book and placed it in his bag that he was carrying as all of sudden he saw the lamps and other objects float in air. He narrowed his eyes at her, he wondered if she was showing off, but then remembered that Henry was also in building – perhaps he was doing this. He got enraged, “You know Ward, I’m going to hurt you” He shouted as he went over and stood in front of him.

[henry]

Henry's eyes got twice the size of dishes when he saw the girl stop his little haunted library routine. His mouth practically fell open when she did it. how, was it possible there was more than, two people who had telekinesis. Well duh, of course there would be, Henry just didn't think he'd meet one other than Sylar.

Speaking of the psycho killer, Henry felt breath catch in his throat. Hesitantly the boy looked up to see the furious eyes of Sylar Gray. Slowly he inched away from the man. With Henry's only offensive powers being engery blasts and telekinesis, the boy would have easily been killed if he tried anything.

"H-hey Sylar...What's up?" Henry asked. He was seriously wondering if the man had any sense of humor what so ever.

[romzy]

Harley watched the man go over to the teenager. He seemed pretty pissed. The boy stuttered as he spoke to him. But the man didn't show any sign of backing down. Harley quickly opened the counter and jogged over to the pair of them. She stopped a few feet away, watching the two males. The testosterone levels were certainly high, as even she could feel the anger radiating off the older man.

Maybe she should do something? Stop them from starting something bad and unnecessary. Her eyes locked on to the younger guy, he looked terrified. So he also had telekinesis, as did the man in front of her. What, was there some TK club she didn't know of? She sighed, waiting for one of them to flinch so she could try and stop them. Not that she would mind... the older guy bared some attractiveness about him.
