Help Us ?[Molly/Mohinder]

[daphne]

30th March, 2009

Matt hadn't been around for a while, he had simply told Daphne he needed to go on some sort of spiritual walk in the desert somewhere. Daphne had been fine with it, after all at the time they were doing well. But over the past few weeks Molly had taken ill, at first Daphne put it down to a bad case of the flu as the symptoms Molly had been suffering were flu like. But it had carried on for longer than Daphne liked, and she was beginning to get very worried about her 'daughter'.

The day before she had asked Molly to try and locate Matt so they could see if he was still out in the desert or if he was on his way home. Unfortunately when Molly tried to use her power it wouldn't work. This scared Daphne, because there wasn't many things which could stop a persons ability from working, one was another eclipse, the ability failed to work during the full eclipse and returned when the eclipse was over. The other was the Shanti Virus.

There was only one person Daphne knew could make Molly better and that was Mohinder Suresh. They had parted on bad terms when Molly had come to live with her and Matt, but desperate times called for desperate measures. Daphne wasn't about to let Molly die, she couldn't lose her 'daughter' and so she knew she had to take her to Mohinder.

Daphne got a suitcase and began packing it with a few things they would both need. She then went into Molly's bedroom. "Hi sweetheart" she began, sitting on the edge of the bed, and soothing the hair on Molly's head. "Come on, there's only one person I think can make you better, and I'm going to take you to him, we can use my super speed to get there, do you think you'd be alright?" Daphne asked with care in her voice, as she stood up off the bed, and took Molly's hand and before lifting the suitcase, she made a quick telephone call to Mohinder, it went to his voice mail, so she left a message telling him that she and Molly were on their way and to expect them, they were in trouble and needed his help.

She then picked up the small suitcase, and sped out of the house and on route to Washington, where she only hoped and prayed Mohinder would be able to make Molly well once again.

Molly had opened to eyes looking around her room trying to find something to keep her mind off of the dreaded virus she knew she had re-gotten. She began to day dream about going with Micah to the beach this summer or having Becca meet Peter and watch how the fight would start. She knew that the beach would be a blast if they buried someone in the sand then pretend to forget them there and she knew that fight would lead to a kiss between her sister and Peter her new found hero.

She had to rest and lay there being bored out of her mind. Matt was gone probably dead by now since she couldn’t locate him for Daphne she felt as if this family was falling apart because of her. Her parents died because Sylar wanted her power, her sister left because she had gotten sick and needed a cure and now Matt left to go off to do god knows what leaving Daphne here all alone.

She coughed when Daphne walked in. She wanted to say hi but couldn’t force it out of herself. She tried to pull away when the women touched her head not wanting her to feel that her fever had gone up. Her eyes glared at her when she spoke about Mohinder. She had no idea what he would do when they got there but Daphne was right there was no one else that could help them. “I’ll be fine.”

Molly’s body stopped in shock as Daphne slowed down her speed as they reached Mohinder’s place. She felt weak but she still could stand on her own two feet but she felt as if her stomach was upside down. She knocked lightly on the apartment door hoping Mohinder was home or she would probably barf in the hallway. As they door slowly opened her blue eyes locked with his brown ones. “Mohinder.”

[mohinder]

Mohinder had got a voicemail from Daphne. It sounded urgent. He was supposed to go to meet with the Ambassador from France and talk about diplomatic relations. However, he had to move the meeting for tomorrow. He told the Ambassador that he was deeply sorry, but he had a family emergency. He hoped that the Ambassador wouldn’t be angry at him for cancelling the meeting. Though the Ambassador told him that it was fine. Family came first.

If the Ambassador only knew that he was lying. He didn’t have a family. He was single and had the worse outside life. Mohinder was turned into a workaholic. It was scary, but he really didn’t care. He didn’t care because his outside life outside of politics didn’t matter. Nothing did. He was just a lonely person in this world. He had been a bad person and this was indeed his punishment.

A punishment for even thinking about going into a relationship with a man. He couldn’t believe that he would even think about doing that. What the hell was he thinking? He wasn’t that kind of person. He hated thinking that he became that sort of person. At least now he felt normal. He was back to his old self, nothing was wrong with him. Perhaps he was insane. His psyche was telling him that he was normal.


He shrugged his shoulders back as he came back to his apartment. Daphne would be here rather quickly and the apartment was kind of a mess. He hosted a party with some of the Cabinet Members last night and he just didn’t feel like cleaning it up. Well, it was only dishes that needed to be cleaned. He would do that later. He decided to change out of the suite he was wearing into some normal attire. As he heard a light knock. He got dressed rather quickly and was hearing a pink long sleeve shirt and blue jeans with regular tennis shoes.

He sprinted to the door, not looking out his peep hole. He had a feeling that it was Daphne and Molly. He opened the door and his eyes met Molly’s. She had grown up so much since he last seen her. “Um…hi” He said with a weak smile. He opened the door more as motioned them to come in. “Please ignore the mess in the kitchen, had a Cabinet party last night, the only thing we didn’t clean up last night was the dishes” He said with a slight pause, “So what’s up?” He asked in a curious tone.

[daphne]

Daphne was really worried about Molly and the difficult thing about it was Molly was trying to play it down to spare Daphne's feelings, she could tell. When she had sat down on her bed and soothed her hair, she had moved to save Daphne from feeling her temperature which had risen quite a lot since she had last felt her forehead. It was definitely much worse than just the flu. Her worst fears about Molly's illness must be right.

She knew Molly wouldn't be too pleased about going back to Mohinder, but Daphne knew and Molly would know too that Mohinder really was their only help. He fixed her the last time, he would fix her this time, he just had to.

"That's good sweetheart" Daphne said when Molly said she would be fine for the journey, after all the last thing she wanted to do was make Molly feel much worse than she already was. Luckily it hadn't taken them too long to get to Mohinder's place with Daphne's ability, she kept her hand firmly on Molly's back to help keep her steady. Daphne's heart sank when she heard Molly say his name the way she had.

"Don't worry about the mess Mohinder, we've got more important things to worry about" Daphne said in a rushed voice, as she kept a hold of Molly and walked into his apartment. She helped Molly onto the sofa, and then looked at Mohinder biting on her bottom lip, trying to stop tears from falling.

"She's not well Mohinder, I thought it was just the flu, but she can't use her ability anymore, and her fever has got worse and worse, I think she's taken the Shanti Virus again" she said in a low voice, even though she knew Molly already had a fair idea what was wrong with herself.

[molly]

Molly was glad that Daphne held her up as she took her to the couch. Looking around the room she could see that Mohinder was not himself. For one he would never have a party even if she didn’t live with him and two he would always clean up any mess right after it was made. She remembered a time when Sylar had spilled the can of paint which was red for the volcano they were working on and Mohinder had to scrub all night to get it out of the carpet.

He swore in Indian. She smiled when she remembered that incident but quickly the feeling of sadness overcame her. Her eyes closed knowing that Daphne was about to cry when she had to tell Mohinder what was going on. Knowing what she had was the easy part of this but the worst part of it now was seeing the people she loved in such heartache over her. When she had the virus before Becca was working but she could still see it in her eyes and well Mohinder just wanted to save her nothing more nothing less.

She had felt little pain last time but she was on an iv and was given regular pain killers when she was at the Company. Molly had been debating whether or not to have Daphne take her there but she knew that her sister and Matt would both freak out over that idea. She had over heard whispers of Matt and Daphne talking about an illness the women had as a child but even knowing that Daphne probably knew to some extent what she was going through she didn’t want to risk it. Her pain was rising it now felt as if she was about to fall over but she was already sitting down.

She pushed her brownish-blonde hair out of her face and laid on the couch. She wanted this all to go away but knew it wouldn’t if no one helped her. She wanted her parents back or even the old Mohinder would do some good at the moment. Everything in her life was going normal then this happens. I could so use my old stuff duck right about now.

[mohinder]

Mohinder closed the door behind the two ladies and watched Daphne place Molly on his sofa. He wondered where Matt was. He didn’t know. Usually he was the last resort when it came to something and he couldn’t actually put his finger on the situation at hand. He just nodded at Daphne as he looked at Molly. He could see that Molly wasn’t feeling good. He hoped this wasn’t his fault. In the end it always seemed to be his fault.

Mohinder’s heart sank when he saw the hurt in Daphne’s voice. She said that Molly had the virus again. That couldn’t be right. It just couldn’t. She was cured with his blood and Claire’s ability. He looked at Daphne as he gave a sour look. He just couldn’t believe that this would happen to Molly. Molly was a girl and she had been through much, she shouldn’t be taking this crap. It just wasn’t right. Karma was a bitch it would seem in Mohinder’s opinion.

“Are you sure, she has the Virus?” He asked in a concerned voice as he started to pace back and forth thinking of another reasons for a person to be sick. However, it always seemed to come back to the Virus. The Virus that took away his sister – he was kind of the only hope. He stopped and sat next to Molly rubbing her back, hoping that she didn’t mind him being this way.

He hated to see people sick and especially when people he cared about were affected by a deadly virus. It was a shame that people had to die from this virus. Shame that his sister was one of the first victims of the virus. People needed to be healthy especially children and not have to deal with the reality of diseases. He looked down at the floor.

“Tatti” He muttered in Indian sighing as he got up and grabbed his jacket. “Come on, we are going to see if you have the virus and what strain” He said looking at Daphne and Molly. “You’ll need to run us to my lab in New York” He said as he gave a weak smile, hoping that what he was doing was going to help out Molly.

[daphne]

Daphne was really worried about Molly, since they had arrived at Mohinder's apartment she hadn't said a word. Not that she expected her to, she was ill after all, but normally she would try to say something. However as Daphne stood over Molly looking at her she looked deathly pale. If it wasn't the Shanti Virus making her ill Daphne had no idea what it could be.

Of course just as she was thinking that it could only be the Shanti Virus, Mohinder asked her if she was sure. Well truth was she wasn't sure, but the symptoms were so familiar with the Shanti Virus when Molly had it before it was the only thing she could think of.

"I'm sure of it, I think so, the symptoms are the same as when she had it before and her ability isn't working, although that could just be caused by exhaustion I suppose" Daphne said shrugging her shoulders slightly and constantly soothing Molly's hair with her hand. She hated seeing her like this, hated seeing her 'daughter' so ill.

Mohinder then muttered something in Indian, to which she had no idea what it was, she just continued to sit and watch over Molly with a sad face, she just wanted her better. It was times likes this she wished Matt hadn't gone and done his disappearing act.

Mohinder then spoke suddenly making Daphne jump slightly, he said they were going to find out if she had the virus and what strain. Daphne looked down at Molly wondering if she'd be feeling well enough to run with her again. After all running at Daphne's speed can cause dizziness when not used to it.

"Alright Mohinder, I suppose it would make sense to find out that she had it for sure, but I'm almost certain of it" Daphne said and then she looked down at Molly again, brushing her hair out of her eyes.

"Molly sweetheart, do you think you can make it, Mohinder wants me to run you to his lab in New York, maybe Mohinder can carry you in his arms?" Daphne said as she looked up at Mohinder, thinking it might be safer and easier if Molly was carried this time while Daphne did the run.

[molly]

Molly was lost in her own world as Mohinder’s touched her back. She took in his scent remembering how he smelt different then anyone she had ever met when he first appeared in her life. She wanted to make a mad face at him as a joke but she couldn’t bare herself from moving a muscle. She chuckled a bit when she muttered something that sounded like a swear word. “Mohinder swore.”

Molly looked up into Daphne’s eyes trying to make a joke as if her mother figure was now Mohinder’s mother also. She knew Daphne would do anything for her and if that meant they had to stay with Mohinder then they would have too. She felt hotter then before but figured it was just the apartment because Mohinder liked the warm. Cause he’s from India.

Molly looked at Daphne once again seeing the love she had for her. She missed her own mom but Daphne was as good as moms got without having any kids around before she was already a pro. Molly moved standing up now. “I’ll be fine.” She didn’t know how Mohinder would take it if he had to carry her as well. “I can walk.” She states walking a bit as she tried to stay upright.

[mohinder]

Mohinder couldn’t believe that his ‘daughter’ –figure was ill. This had to be a sign from god that he didn’t approve of him doing whatever it was he was doing. Well, just in the damn relationship department. He was bond to have a sign from god telling him what he could and couldn’t do. Karma was a bitch for Mohinder Suresh.

He nodded as Daphne answered his question about was she sure that Molly had the virus. “Sometimes if people are ill because of influenza it can either make their abilities out of control or make their abilities stop working” He said just putting that fact out of in the open. He was hoping for the flu and not the Shanti Virus.

He just couldn’t see Molly with having the virus again. It would just be dreadful especially at this time of crisis. The economy, war, and other things that the world was rotating around he just shook his head as he thought of those issues. He really knew that those issues were going to stop around his life if Molly had the virus again. If she had the virus again. He was going to take care of her.

He wasn’t going to be a coward anymore. Because Matt was off doing something and here was his ward sick and her father figure was off doing something crazy. He just couldn’t believe that Matt would do that. At least he felt better that he wasn’t going to be the abandonment figure in this little event that unfortunate had to happen.

He listened to Daphne as she spoke about his suggestion about going to New York. He didn’t have a lab in DC. Well, he did, but he couldn’t compare the Shanti Virus here. It would just be best if they went to his old lab. It had the necessary equipment that he needed to figure out this mystery. “Good” He said with a warm smile.

He then looked over at Molly as he put on his jacket. “I can carry you” He said with a smile “I don’t have my ability anymore, but I can carry you, Molly if you would like me too” He said in a positive tone. He wanted Molly to know that he didn’t mind carrying her. However, if she didn’t want him to carry her that was fine with him.

[daphne]

Daphne gave Molly a weak smile when she said that Mohinder swore, so that's what the word was he used in his own language. Molly's small laugh made Daphne smile at her all the more as she soothed her hair again. "Naughty Mohinder" Daphne said, mock scalding Mohinder but laughing slightly anyway. She guessed it would do no good to be constantly upset around Molly while she was ill, that in itself was upsetting enough.

"I see, well that's why I thought I would bring her to you, hopefully you will be able to get the answer for us one way or another" Daphne explained as she stood with her head cocked to the side, hoping he would be able to fix their problem. Daphne didn't know what the exact signs of the Shanti Virus were, she just knew that one of the signs was losing your ability. But she also knew that if she wasn't feeling very well her ability didn't work so good either. So Mohinder had a point.

Molly said she would be fine, that she could walk, but Daphne looked back up at Mohinder, because it would be easier on Daphne if Mohinder held Molly and all she had to do was grab his shoulder for the run. "It would be easier for me if you did" Daphne said as she could see Molly begin to move from side to side on her unsteady feet.

She waited for Mohinder to lift Molly into his arms, and then she put her hand on his shoulder and sped her way to Mohinder's lab in New York.

[molly]

Molly nodded at Mohinder and Daphne and held onto Mohinder. She felt like she was having a nightmare and Mohinder was hugging her calming her down. Molly felt a rush of air as they made it to the lab. They walked into the room as she smiled at Mohinder who was still holding her. “You can let me go anytime.” She playfully joked as she then was set down on the mental table.

The last time she remembered being here was when Maya died because Sylar had shot her. Mohinder brought her back to life using Claire’s blood. Mohinder was a hero. She closed her eyes feeling the pain in her side. “Can I have some water?” She looked around the room spotting the needles then looked at Daphne motioning for her to come closer. “Mohinder sucks at taking blood.” She tried to whisper to the women now a bit scared of how much it might hurt.

Molly didn’t like being sick but she did enjoy spending time with Mohinder and Daphne. Ever since Matt had went well wherever he was things seemed lonely around the house. She knew that Daphne was lonely without Matt and thought that maybe Mohinder could be the one to cheer both of them up.

[mohinder]

Mohinder lifted Molly into his arms and the next thing they were at the lab. He hadn’t been to lab in quite a while. “Okay, I’ll put you down” Mohinder said as he placed Molly down. He laughed at Molly. “I’m pretty good at taking blood” he said with a weak smile. He just went over and started to get supplies out of some boxes that were boxed up.

The entire place except for a few computers and a couple of microscopes were boxed up. That was why he was getting some supplies out. He laid out the supplies on the table and looked up to Molly sighing as he turned on a computer. “Why don’t you play a game why I get everything organized?” He asked in a warm tone as he went back to his business.

It only took him about fifteen minutes to get everything situated and he hoped that they didn’t get mad at him for taking fifteen minutes of precious time, but he had to put everything out that was a part of the Shanti Virus out. He took a deep breath as he held a tiny needle in his hand. “Alright, I’m going to stick you” He said as he slowly went over to Molly. “Can you hold your arm facing out, please?” He asked as he got ready to do the pocking.

[daphne]

It didn't take Daphne long to get to the lab in New York, whether it was just Daphne's typical speed ability or because she had the added worry about Molly she wasn't sure, but the main thing was, they were here now and hopefully soon they would find out what was going on with Molly. Daphne had been missing Matt in her life, she was glad for having Molly, but she really missed having the company of a man, and she guessed Molly was missing the father figure in her life.

Daphne laughed lightly when Molly made the joke about Mohinder putting her down anytime he was ready. She was stubborn, probably got it from her sister Daphne thought with a little laugh. When Molly asked for some water, Daphne smiled, "Sure honey" she sped to the sink filled a glass and sped back to her, "there you go" she said as she handed her the glass. Daphne didn't always use her ability in such confined spaces, but she wanted to make sure Molly was as comfortable as she could be as quickly as possible.

Molly beckoned to her to come closer and whispered that Mohinder sucked at taking blood. "Really?" she asked, but winked at Mohinder, she took Molly's hand in hers anyway. "I'm sure he's not that bad" she said, as Mohinder confirmed he wasn't that bad, even though Daphne clocked the weak smile on his face.

"Ooh a game?" Daphne asked, what could they play while Mohinder was getting things ready, "Oh I know, I spy with my little eye something beginning with S" Daphne said as she a small bronze statue in the corner of the lab on a table.

It didn't take Mohinder long to get everything ready however, and he was soon ready to take Molly's blood. Daphne held her hand gently smiling at her, "It'll be alright sweetheart" she said softly, as she looked at Mohinder, praying that it would indeed be alright.

[molly]

“No you’re not.” She states in a teasing way at Mohinder who thought he had gotten better. Molly looked at the computer wondering if Micah could see her now. So she stuck out her tongue at the screen just in case he was watching her. She could think of a few different ways to have fun with a computer and Micah but she shook them out of her head knowing she was still too young for that type of stuff now blaming Becca who let her watch bad movies as a young child.

Molly took the water smiling at Daphne. She was actually feeling somewhat better but that could have been that Mohinder was really going to help her and not go all buggy again. She sighed as Daphne thought about a game of I spy. “Sylar.“ She muttered under her breath as the letter S came into play. With one name she felt worst now.

Molly looked at Mohinder sighing as she closed her eyes putting her right arm out knowing it was going to hurt. She grabbed Daphne’s hand squeezing it hard. “Well if it hurts I’m so making him go become a nurse. Peter wouldn’t hurt me.” She then realized that she actually talked about her older crush to the two people who were like her parents.

[mohinder]

Mohinder just glanced at Molly and just shook his head. He thought to himself that he was actually a good person at taking blood. However, the kid was probably right. He wasn’t good at taking blood. He liked to stab people with the needle. He did it with Sylar. “Actually, I just stab people with the needle, I’m bad at that part, but that is just life” He said deciding to defend himself on the situation at hand.

As he was preparing the objects he heard that Daphne and Molly playing a game. Games were always fun. They were playing I SPY it would seem. He just worked with his objects and raised an eyebrow as he heard Molly mutter Sylar. He just shook his head and didn’t say anything. He didn’t need to say anything. It would just be bad.

He needed to concentrate on the task at hand and he was concentrating. He watched her as she did what he had instructed her to do which pleased him. He knew that she would not complain. He gently placed the needle in her arm and got the blood. He placed the blood on the table gently and grabbed a cotton swab, whipping the blood that came from the hole that the needled was in and took out a Hello Kitty Bandage and placed it on where he had poked her.

He grabbed the blood that he placed down and went to work. He didn’t even noticed that Molly had spoken about Peter. He was just concentrating on the task at hand. He wanted to know if Molly had the virus and if so what kind. He was praying for that she had the one that he could cure and not the other one. The other one was bad and he didn’t need that. He didn’t need to see a little girl die.

[[OOC: What strain of the virus is it? The one that Sylar had (that one is curable)]]
