I like this idea of alternative endings. It happens on Mylar_fic from time to time … KENSAI APPROVAL! *cries under the desk*
That dream was AWFUL and PERFECT. Adam’s freakout after he brings Ando back was TERRIBLE and PERFECT and makes me want to CRY.
I pick him up and lay him down on the bed. If it weren't for the blood, one might say that he's simply sleeping. Maybe he is. Maybe we're both waiting for you to come to the rescue as he was so certain you would. I hope you do. I want to see you so badly, carp. It's the only wish I have left. *cries for the boys and gives them all hugs, even bumbling, bloody Ando*
The most profound sadness floods your eyes and I feel it burning in my heart. "Why?" you ask. "Why did you kill them?" The thing about second-person narration is that t always makes me think that it’s all a dream, or a fantasy … I dunno, that short-story class a few years ago really messed with me …
I respond with one of the few things that I know to be true. "Because I can't kill you." *squees sadly*
"Would you rather that I say that I hate you? Would that make it better? I have, you know. I've hated you and loved you in the same breath for longer than a man should live. You are everything to me. Every emotion, every thought. For you, it's only been, what? A day, two days at most. For me it's been centuries. More than enough time to feel every emotion that it's possible for one man to feel. And I've felt them all for you." Oooooooo … too perfect!
Now it's me who has you backed against the wall. My hand is at the hilt of the sword, the one thing that still stands between us. I look down into your eyes and they’re mirrors reflecting my own soul. I LOVE THAT PARAGRAPH. *huggles you excessively and throws flowers*
I've always loved how your name and the word hero have practically the same sound. You must have thought of it yourself, probably thinking that it was quite fitting when you began your quest to save the world, but you're not smiling now. Quite the opposite. *squees and cries*
"But you have murdered. You killed that man in Kirby Plaza. Sylar." Did not! If he had, I would have killed HIM! Manga-character or not!
"Maybe I want you to do it." I step back, giving you room to move if you wish. "Come on, I'll give you a free shot. I've never had my head cut off before. Maybe that will work." Oooooo … you know what this reminds me of? Dr. Jizabel from the Cain Saga/Godchild books … ever read those? You think HEROES has subtext and incest-vibes, just read those manga-books!
"You mean kill every last person on the planet? I assume that Peter‘s already taken care of that. Unless the Company left another pandemic inducing virus lying around, I don't think you have to worry about that. I suppose I'll just wait around and wait for humanity to destroy itself through those nuclear weapons they keep accumulating." *laughs wetly*
"He enjoyed himself," I say, peeking at you from the corner of my eye. The discomfort twisting in your face tells me that I was right. "I didn't force him. I don't go for sex that's not fully consensual." *huggles him*
You're silent. You look away at the planes spread out below us, but you don't really see them. Your chest rises and falls with the sudden quickness of your breathing. After a long minute, you nod stiffly. I'll take that. *blinks back tears*
