Can this be true?

Saving a life

Alex managed to make it home before running out of breath. Sighing she sat down onto her couch and turned on the TV, hoping to watch the next episode to see what was happening. She already watched Six months ago, somehow and she knew who Sylar used to be. "Poor Gabriel" she muttered shaking her head. She turned her attention to the TV, noticing straight away that the next episode. Episode 11 would be called Fallout, which seemed to suit what was going on perfectly.

She watched as Claire found out that Noah Bennet, her adoptive father, knew about her ability. She watched them argue and fight. Before the scene changed to two Officers. FBI agents, one called Matt Parkman, who can read people's minds. Not Mine, Alex thought, smiling a little. She couldn't know that. The phone rang and Alex stood up to get it, "Hello?" she asked wearily, "Alex?" she recognised Claire's voice. "Claire, how is everything. Are you okay? Are you safe?" Alex asked these questions, already knowing the answer. "Yes, yes and I need to ask you something" There was a pause and Alex knew it was about her ability. "Did you see anything strange about me last night?" Alex paused, pretending to remember. She knew that Claire had said that a handful of people knew her powers, she just didn't seem to know if she said her. "No Claire. Other than that Crazed lunatic of a man. I didn't see anything" Alex hated Lying to her friend, but she had to.

"Are you sure?" Alex had to give Claire something. She was persistent. "Yes I didn't see anything strange about you. I was too focussed on that.... man. To notice anything about you. I checked your pulse, made sure you were breathing, that was it. Then you stood up and we ran" Alex confessed, making it sound truthful, but only part of it was the truth. "Thank you. I just wanted to check, you know. For the police" Claire said, trying to make it sound somewhat convincing, but Alex saw through it. "I have to go now Claire. I have things to do" Alex listened to Claire's goodbye before hanging up. Alex sat down, looking at the TV again, noticing that Peter and his brother Nathan were talking in a cell. So thats where Peter was, in jail. In custody. Alex let out a laugh, before jumping, when she heard Sylar's voice. Her heart raced and she knew she would recognise that voice anywhere.

Alex continued to watch the TV show. Wondering where she needed to head next. She had money, her parents were rich, they gave her a decent amount of money before she left for Odessa, and wished her luck in her travels. Maybe she should head to New York next? No. Alex sat up straighter than usual. She was going to find the places Sylar goes, and she's gonna follow him to the worlds end, giving a chuckle at the end. Alex carried on watching the show. She knew where Noah kept Sylar, she was watching is right now. Slept like a baby, that Eden woman said. Alex watched as Noah punched in a code, and walked up to a glass screen, before talking.

The man lying on the bed, the one Noah was talking to. Sat up quickly, taking a note of the room before trying out his powers. "They won't work, those powers. Not in here, Gabriel" Alex recognised a smug tone to Noah's voice. "My Name is Sylar" Alex stared on at the man, he had Short hair, brown but it looked black. He had Dark brown eyes and a beard, which wasn't as grown as some men love. Alex felt something stir in her stomach, something she had never felt for a long time, not even last night, when Sylar was chasing them. It was nerves, butterflies. Like the ones you get before you get attacked. Those incorporated with fear.

***********************************************

Hours passed since Alex finished watching the episode. That little part, with Noah and Sylar in the cell, kept the nerves in her stomach. Especially with what Eden said afterwards. "At least Mohinder is in Brooklyn again" Alex muttered to herself, hoping that somehow, saying that out loud, will make him hear her. Alex poured herself a drink of orange juice, hoping that this was just a dream. Sylar is going to escape, she knew that much, she just hoped it was a lie. That no matter what Noah could keep Sylar locked away.
