Characters/Pairings: Sylar(Heroes)/Danny(Blind Dating)

Summary: AU. A few days after gaining Isaac’s power, Sylar finds himself unable to see anything besides this one man. Determined to get his new power to work right again Sylar decides to find this man and eliminate him, but will Sylar able to follow through with it once he comes in contact with his mystery subject?

Notes: These parts are short as this story is just meant to wet my feet in this pairing so please don't be disappionted by the size, alright?

Several painting later, Sylar divined the mystery man’s name. After that it was easy to locate this man, this Danny, through the use of internet. Danny Waldesakee, twenty-two, had volunteered for an experimental procedure to gain sight a couple months back and had been in all the local newspapers. The twenty-five-year-old watchmaker had to give the young man some credit; he was most certainly brave…for a normal human. None of it, though, explained why the brunette should matter to Sylar.
 

Armed with all the knowledge he could gleam from his sources, Sylar folded space and time as he vanished from his new residence to just outside the home of the blind man who plagued his visions. It was a modest structure; similar in appearance to the homes around it. It was ordinary. It was normal. The gnawing in his gut at the mere thought of normalcy decided to crop up just as the door to the house opened. His power of invisibility ignited just as the persons exited it. He needed to know why this man was important before he revealed his presence.

A woman of Indian descent, Sylar guessed, stepped down the stairs slowly. She was pretty looking, but the man trailing behind her far outshined her beauty…in an observational way, of course. His paintings hadn’t done Danny justice by any means. His blue eyes, which did not see, glittered with varying emotions that Sylar wanted to know, wanted to understand. His skin was pale to a seductive degree and his brown mop had that just-rolled-out-of-bed tousle to it that made Sylar ache to run his fingers though and tug on it.

Tug until that beautiful face was tilted up towards Sylar’s. Unseeing eyes shining in both excitement and trepidation. Mouth parted temptingly in a gasp of pain and desire. Gripping harder as Sylar lowered his mouth on that oh-so-inviting one.

Sylar followed the two silent and unseen, driven forward in his desire to know Danny by his brief but tantalizing fantasy, as they walked down the sidewalk slightly slower than the rest of the traffic surrounding them. The unnamed woman said something, which Sylar could not hear, and Danny laughed lightly leaning a little bit more of his weight on her shoulder. The watchmaker’s fists clenched unconsciously as the woman looked down on her companion with a torn expression that was the exact opposite of his.

Sylar’s hunger flared up wanting to hurt this woman, he did not know, for not appreciating what she had; what beauty she held in her hands.

His left hand wrapped around her slim throat as she gasps for breath; his right poised above her face opening her brain up to him. Letting him see what was going through her head. Letting him experience every moment with Danny that she had, undoubtedly, taken for granted.

The young woman sat on a bench in a busy park, not too far from the house they had just left, and pulled her canvas bag into her lap. The beautiful blind man took his seat with assistance of his uncomfortable company’s knee. For a few seconds there was silence among them and then the woman began to speak. Her mouth moved slowly as if she could not find the right words and Danny’s face fell slightly. Curiosity got the better of the power-stealing-extraordinary human and he let his invisibility drop as he moved to stand behind a tree so that he was close enough to hear the conversation.

“I’m sorry, Danny.” The woman’s voice said barely there as she reached over and touched Danny’s forearm. Her blind companion jerked away from the touch.

“So, what?” The anger in the young man’s voice was palpable, but its sound was still soothing and sooth it did; for Sylar’s hunger seemed abated by its presence. “I don’t matter? Leeza, we’ve been engaged for two months. You go away to New York for a month, come back, and then you decide to tell me that you met up with your old fiancée and decide you don’t want to be with me anymore. That you have decided you want to marry him.”

Sylar’s hands clenched even tighter. Even the sound of Danny’s voice couldn’t stop the fierceness of his anger at the words the blue-eyed man spoke. He didn’t know him; why did he feel so protective of this beautiful, seemingly-kind, man? It was Danny’s close proximity to the woman that kept Sylar from using his powers on her, from making her pay for hurting this man he’d never even met.

“It’s not as simple as all that, Danny. I couldn’t help falling in love with him.” Her pleading was only making the watchmaker angrier. “He was kind and sweet and apologetic and…”

“Give it back.” The demand was steely and determined with an undercurrent of sadness.

“What?”

“The ring, Leeza, I want it back. You’re getting another one anyway; a better one, probably…so give it back to me.”

Tears fell from the woman’s dark eyes but Sylar didn’t feel sorry for her; only anger. How dare she mourn? If everything the blue-eyed was saying was true, she deserved Danny’s anger and more…so much more.

Red blood flowing over Sylar’s hands; painting them with vengeance. Dead dark eyes stared blank up from the woman’s body on the floor.

Her right hand rose to remove the aforementioned ring, shaking all the way. Once the little hoop was free of her hand she held it out, open palmed, to her, now, ex-fiancée. Danny, it seemed, was pointedly ignoring the offering. Frustrated with the situation Leeza, as Danny had called her, let the band fall to the grass at Danny’s feet and, after a moment’s hesitation, walked away.

This was the moment the third painting had depicted. Sylar watched as, with every step Leeza took away, Danny’s strength of will crumbled. Tears slipped silently down his face as he sat alone in the park and Sylar wrestled with indecision. He’d never felt like this before…confused about what to do. He’d always just known what to do to get what he’d wanted and now, in this moment, there were choices.

Option one, he could hunt down that woman and see inside her brain just as he had imagined. It would feel good and satisfy his hunger which was raging in the face of such sorrow. The Gabriel side of him reminded him that such an action would probably only increase Danny’s sorrow and that was something neither side of Sylar wanted for some inexplicable reason.

Option two, he could find the man who took Leeza away from Danny and end his existence. That would most likely result in Leeza’s return to Danny but out of sorrow and desperation only. No one deserved pity love.

Option three, he could go and try to comfort the sad man. Sylar was a little hesitant on this one, though, because he did not technically know Danny and he’d never comforted anyone before. In fact, he had been the one to cause the pain usually.

Before the so-called-villain could decide on a course of action, however, a dark-skinned male showed up and led the twenty-two-year-old back toward the home Danny had just left. Sylar watched them leave and wondered. What did all of this have to do with them? What was he supposed to do now?
