aunt_zeldaTitle: Who Am I?
Rating: R for torture … later it will be R for violence and smut.
Pairings: Gabriel the Anti-Hero and Mohinder. Possible GtAH/Claire.
Warnings: If you haven’t watched all of Season 1 of Heroes, you shouldn’t be here, you should be watching the DVDs!
Disclaimer: Uh … obviously I don’t own Heroes. Wish I did. Then slash would run rampant, Hana wouldn’t be an infomorph, and Mohinder and Sylar would adopt Molly!
Summary: Gabriel works at this Company with Claire and some other Heroes characters …
My Thoughts: This is dedicated to ladywilde80 because her series ‘The Road to Redemption’ kinda inspired this in a backwards way. I’m now addicted to Gabriel the Anti-Hero. This fic is pretty short, but more will come … eventually. I’m working on posting a bunch of stuff before next Tuesday, because after that my fics will take a rather long time to finish and post …
“Who are you?”
What a question. Gabriel stares at the man – who is fearful and prepared to face any torture that can cross his mind.
“Someone who can help you,” Gabriel takes a few steps to the side.
The man snorts. “Oh, so you’re the good cop. Where’s the bad one?”
Gabriel smirks. “Oh, the bad cop is here, you traitorous scum. We’re just both in the same body.”
A flicker of surprise over the man’s face. “Split personality?” he asks in a would-be-casual way.
Gabriel shakes his head. “No, we’re perfectly merged now. For a while we were two, now it’s just me. Sylar and Gabriel … just right.” he lunges forward, hurling the man to the ground. “Let’s start off slow. I’m Gabriel, who are you?” he drags the man up by his curly black hair.
“My name is Mohinder Suresh,” the man gasps, staring up at Gabriel with defiant eyes. “I killed your father.”
~*~
Gabriel washes Mohinder’s blood off his hands in the sink in the break room, humming slightly.
“Hey, you ok?” Claire Bennet – infamous for her infiltration through morgues – enters and places a hand on his shoulder. “I heard … well, it was hard not to hear …” she glances at the floor.
“That was just the beginning, Claire,” Gabriel switches off the water and dries his hands on a towel. “It’s only going to get worse,”
She bites her lip. “Don’t damage him too severely, we need his information –”
Gabriel whirls around, grabs her shoulders, and slams her down onto the table. “How can you say that?! He killed my father!”
“I know that! That’s why they assigned him to you!” Claire shoves Gabriel back, straightening her jacket. “By all means, rip him to shreds! Just get the information they need. I’m sure they’ll let you have him then,” there’s a trace of a grim smile on her lips.
Gabriel raises his eyebrows. “Really? Since when are you pro-murder?”
Claire scowls. “He’s part of an organization that tried to kill me and succeeded in slaughtering hundreds of thousands. It wouldn’t be murder if you strangled him: it would be justice.”
~*~
After bones and blood start to become monotonous, Gabriel switches to different tactics. Waterboarding, sleep-depravation, minor electrocution … he’ll try everything, even if Mohinder is telling the truth – Hiro, or even Peter, couldn’t have done it, but Gabriel can.
He’s drowned in blood before, it’s too easy to slide back into the old role, like a favorite sweater.
~*~
Two weeks, and Mohinder breaks.
Facts and figures, building layouts, security schedules, locations of prisoners, who’s dead and who isn’t, where it’s best to break in …
A day or two of more torment, and Gabriel is satisfied that Mohinder is finally telling the truth.
His superiors congratulate him, coworkers clap him on the back, and Claire’s hug makes Gabriel see her in a different light. What a fool he’s been – she’s given him looks and dropped hints he never picked up on until now …
So much good directed to him: all because he forced confessions out of his father’s murderer.
~*~
“We broke into the compound last night,” Gabriel tells Mohinder.
Mohinder slowly closes his eyes.
“How many of my … coworkers died?” he asks wearily.
Gabriel spews out a list of names. A few make Mohinder wince. It’s this kind of pain Gabriel enjoys the most: mental torture knows no limits but eventual insanity.
“So,” Mohinder opens his eyes, blinking back tears. “What happens to me now?”
Gabriel’s face darkens. “Don’t get your hopes up, they won’t let me kill you.”
Mohinder raises his eyebrows – a cut reopens.
Gabriel glares at him. “They want you … on our side,” he manages through gritted teeth. “You don’t have any powers, but you’re dangerous enough on your own, so they’ve …” he paused for a moment, desperately containing his anger. “They’re partnered you with me.”
A pause.
Mohinder bursts out laughing.
(TBC)

I love the complete switch you did here; Mohinder killing Gabriel's dad was completely unexpected.
That was my favorite bit. That twist was so WONDERFUL to write ... the rest of that fic was decided through that ...
The last line was the best, gave me chills.
Um ... it wasn't meant to ... oh, I guess it was a bit ...
You win at life!
*is floored* Oh my ... *decides to put part 2 higher up on the priority list* I'll get Part 2 out in a while ... school starts Tuesday and fic writing will slow down substantially ...
(Your icon is pretty damn hot ...)

Oh yeah, and I have to agree with you about the icon. It's pretty much my favorite picture of Zachary EVAR!

I like pics of him in his last Sylar outfit - you know, the one that he killed Isaac in? The mussy hair and the sexy long black coat? *drools*

Oh yeah, I forgot about those. But I still find it incredible that in those pictures, he's Sylar, and in his media pictures, he's a totally different person. He just amazes me.

How did he get selected to audition for Sylar? His resume doesn't exactly say 'creepy murderer' but he does it SO WELL!

Date: 2007-09-14 10:37 pm (UTC)In regards to the next season, I hope the writers try not to give Sylar a female love interest. I either want him to be shown as either being slightly interested in guys, or just not have that aspect of his character explored. Judging from the mass support he's gotten from fans (most of which seem to be Mylar fans), I would like to think that the writers would go this route.... but I don't think that they will. Oh well, as long as they continue with the subtext, ESPECIALLY if it's between him and Mo.
Sorry that was so long D:

Oh, I bet they'll keep the subtext ... they've to to if they don't want angry protests! And yeah, he'd better not get a girlfriend. A sexy woman flirting with him and him not being interested I could understand, but no girlfriend!
Sorry that was so long D:
Heh ... have you not SEEN my comments?
(Btw, you changed your icon, so where I'm saying 'your icon is damn hot' I'm referring to Sylar in a Sailor Moon wig ... that's just odd.)

Date: 2007-09-15 09:42 pm (UTC)Well then, let's rectify that! If you have any free time, here's where Zach's So!No scenes start off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eROWu_BgrGA
And here's the link to the Off Centre clip. It's absolutely hilarious.

You know, I don't think the writers would go here, but I would ONLY allow a female interest for Sylar via flashback, as Gabriel and he like this girl... but she turns him down and the rejection just makes him more isolated. It would make him more sympathetic, but like I said it probably won't ever happen. However, more subtext with Mo BETTER happen.
Heh ... have you not SEEN my comments?
LOL, I do enjoy our in-depth conversations about our favorite serial killer.

Oh yeah, sorry about that :P It's just, I keep finding new icons and my max is only 15! Damnit all... But now that you mention it, that is pretty hilarious. Sylar Moon is the sexiest, by FAR! XD

That would be nice ... very sad and wonderful ...

Hell yeah! If it doesn't we'll MAKE it happen!

Me too ...

Nah, the first one with the blue background ... but Sylar Moon is HILARIOUS!
(PS: Who is that guy in the movie clip? Have I seen him in something?)
no subject
Date: 2007-09-19 01:42 am (UTC)Hahaha yeah we will! Never underestimate the power of fangirls LOL
I hope you watch the videos, they're quite hilarious. And ZQ is totally a different person as Sasan, although you might not take him seriously as Sylar once you see him go "FREEZE!", Farah Fawcett-style ;)
Nah, the first one with the blue background ... but Sylar Moon is HILARIOUS!
LOL... That he is. Then again ZQ is sexy no matter what.
Which movie clip? Was it the ones I linked to you? I am confuzzled D:

Yes indeed. Put him in a blond anime wig and he's STILL hot! You can't say that about ... well ... anyone ...

The one you HAD as your icon ... but you changed it AGAIN ... now you've got Sendhil staing at ... a pear? A grapefruit? ... now I'M confuzled ...

Nope, you sure can't! ^^
Sorry, I change my icons around a lot. This is why i wish I had a paid account, then I wouldn't have to change my icons around so much.
It's an apple. You've never seen "Forbidden Fruit"?? It's one of the best things EVER. Adrian Pasdar took this video:

I am very, very VERY selective with my icons ... the 'Disturbing Hug' one needs to be modified I think ...

LOL, that video you showed me was hilarious! My favorite part was when it got to Mohinder and it was like, "I didn't really understand what he said.... destiny... invisible...." That was great :D
no subject
Date: 2007-09-25 06:29 pm (UTC)Yeah, it's from one of the Mylar stories and someone drew disturbing art ... it's Peter's head, which Mohinder brought Sylar, and he's saying 'He screamed so pretty.' ... it makes me all happy inside in a distrubing way ...
My favorite part was when it got to Mohinder and it was like, "I didn't really understand what he said.... destiny... invisible...."
I know! My favorite part is 'At first I thought I was interupting something' and the thing with needing to take a shower after seeing Nathan ...
