Shades of Gray (Part Three)

Sylar and Elle leave the motel, and she calls her father as they walk down the street.

"Yes, daddy..." she says quietly. As their conversation goes on, Elle starts to get annoyed. Sylar laughs to himself as her face goes from a smile to a frown. She hangs up and doesn't say anything.

"Is something wrong?" he asks, smiling.

"That's none of your business, okay?"

Sylar smiles even wider, aware that he's just upset her even more. He kicks at the rocks lying along the road, until Elle throws out her arm to stop him. He looks up to see Noah Bennet standing at the end of the street. Elle holds out her arms and starts marching toward him.

"Elle, don't," Sylar insists.

She ignores him and picks up speed, until Sylar realizes he has to follow her and protect her from her old partner.

"Elle!" he yells, now jogging down the dirt road.

She begins charging electricity in the palms of her hands. "Bennet?" she yells, "Are you here to spy on us?"

He pulls out a gun, signaling her to turn around and mind her business. She runs after him, screaming, and Sylar catches up and grabs her shoulder. She turns to him, still yelling at Noah. Instead of forcing Elle to turn around and forget Noah was ever there, Sylar leans in and kisses her. She goes quiet and Noah lowers his gun.

"Let's get out of here. Forget about your father. Forget about Bennet," Sylar begs her.

She looks back at Noah, who is quietly walking away, gun still in his hand.

She looks up at Sylar, who is now frowning. "Why did you do that?"

He grabs her arm and they continue walking, but in a different direction. Elle doesn't bother asking where they're going, because she knows all she'll get is either a grunt or a raised eyebrow. What was it with his eyebrows, anyway? Couldn't he get them waxed every once in a while?

"We're going to the airport," he smirks.

She sighs and smiles as Sylar looked at her curiously.

"You're okay with that? I thought you'd be angry."

She laughs. "Are you kidding? I want to get out of this freaking country!"
