Log;

A figure leapt off the roof, blocking out the moon for a moment. And then came crashing down to the street, scattering streets everywhere.

The Captain stood himself up to his full height, and tilted his head to the side.

Sylar walked out of the building as the Captain jumped down from the roof- he could hear the rushing figure and looked up immediately.

He should be scared, but he was never very good at that. Instead, he smiles at the Captain, and there's a fair amount of hunger in it. "So good to finally meet you." A table and a couple chairs from a cafe across the street disentangle themselves from each other quietly.

If the Captain was impressed, or frightened by this display, he didn't show it. And chances were good that he wasn't.

He reached down and unhooked one of the immense Mauser Broomhandles from his belt.

Sylar merely stood there, smiling and waiting for the bullets. He liked this trick- it'd worked so well in Kirby Plaza. And even though he felt like he was accessing his powers through a thick syrup (Peter's asborption was still settling in and causing a bit of havoc with his already-acquired powers), the bulletproof trick was easy.

The chairs and table stopped moving as he readied himself. "Going for the easy option? Seems a little unfair, if you ask me."

The Captain popped his neck and stared at Sylar.

Then, moving faster than any human could hope to move, his other hand unlatched the other Mauser and he sent a hail of enormous bullets towards Sylar at a speed an Uzi would be proud of.

Okay, that caught him off guard. Luckily, the telekinesis for this defensive move was more like a net than anything else. It caught the bullets a mere foot from his body-

All but one, which grazed his right ear, taking a chunk out of the earlobe. His eyes widened and he held up a now-shaking hand. As he opened the palm, the bullets shot back towards the Captain.

Sylar put his other hand up to his ear. It wasn't so much that it hurt as that it was suddenly so loud. Damn gunfire.

The Captain had vanished, leaving a pair of mausers falling down to the ground.

A glanced upward would reveal him leaping over the bullets, turning to bring his leg down onto Sylar from above.

Sylar barely realized what was happening before the Captain was right on top of him. His arm sweeped out as he tried to use his TK to push the werewolf to the side. Unfortunately, it was too little, too late- Sylar barely had the chance before he was hit hard, knocked almost instantly to the ground. He rolled as well as he could, trying to reach out for the Captain.

The Captain was slightly thrown off by the telekinesis, but not enough that he hesitated. He hand slammed down towards Sylar's arm, hoping to grab and break it.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Sylar's first thought was that he should have stuck around Peter for longer, made absolutely sure he wasn't going to absorb anything from him. He's not going to regenerate this. He'll have to find a healer again.

His thoughts and his actions were completely detached. What he did was yell really loudly as the arm snapped. He also reached around and grabbed the Captain's shoulder with his other hand. Ice spread instantly from it, and Sylar's intent was to freeze him completely.

The Captain's eyes glanced over at his shoulder dispassionately, and he moved his arm slightly. With a disgusting wrench and a crack, he broke his arm off at the frozen shoulder.


Almost immediately, it began growing back. The Captain brought his other foot around to keep his balance.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Sylar's smile became huge. Perhaps he wouldn't have to find a healer, after all. He wondered how long it would take before he started absorbing from this one- usually he could tell everything about a power as soon as he acquired it, but the absorption was alluding him.

He stood, holding his cracked arm tenderly at the shoulder, trying to decide on his next move. He'd mostly decided on shattering two floors worth of glass pane and centering the shards on the Captain when he realizes that his hands were glowing.

...well, that decided that. He let go of his shoulder and held his hands out, staring at them with fascination and the beginnings of worry as they got brighter.

[wolfsmercy.livejournal.com]

Which was possibly where Sylar's misunderstanding came in.

What the Captain had was not a "power". It was a condition.

He stared at the glowing hands for a moment, then shrugged. He reached out to Sylar's neck to squeeze a pressure point.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

For the first time since the tiny woman had told him to sleep aeons ago at that high school, Sylar's body had betrayed him. That more than anything was what was bothering him here. He wasn't fast enough, the induced radioactivity was starting on it's own, and worst of all, the telekinesis was a little bit off. It was all wrong. He was distracted with that as the Captain reached out.

He gasped at the pain and collapsed onto the ground, falling on his broken arm. Pathetic. He'd need more. More abilities and more practice.

His head rolled back onto the asphalt, his hands stopped glowing. And then he was still.

The Captain waited for his arm to finish regrowing, then, with calm, deliberate motions, retrieved his guns and clipped them onto his belt.

Somehow, he had a feeling the Doctor would want this one.

Picking up Sylar as if weighed nothing, he bent his legs and shot up into the air, pushing off of Building 12 and towards the Deus ex Machina.
