WHO: Mohinder Suresh, Molly Walker and Emile Danko. With added Sylar later.
WHAT: Danko is a bad, bad man.
WHEN: A little while after this post.
WHERE: Mohinder and Molly's flat.
RATING: TBD.
STATUS: In Progress.

Mohinder was worried. Danko was here, and he knew that Molly was someone the man would be eager to get his hands on...someone who could lead him to every special person in the city. He just had to hope that Sylar kept his word, and that Danko never realised they were here. If it had just been himself, he might have taken the man on, but he had a responsibility as a parent to be there for Molly and to keep her safe. So he kept quiet and tried to comfort his daughter the best way he knew how.

So he made tea.

He came into the living room and sat next to Molly on the floor, setting down a tray with chai tea and chocolate chip cookies between them. He poured the tea into two cups and handed one to Molly. "It will be all right," he insisted, kissing the top of her head. "I promise. I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe."

But we'll fix this.

Although, in her grief, Molly couldn't see how they could 'fix' any of it, she didn't argue when Sylar said it. She didn't even question him. She simply stood where he'd set her down, arms wrapped tightly around her midsection, as she watched him inject Mohinder with some of his own blood.

The seconds ticked by, seemingly to take an eternity between each one. And then, a miracle happened.

The moment Mohinder spoke, Molly felt the tears once again fill her eyes. This time, however, they were born from relief rather than sorrow. She trembled violently, her entire body tensing as she waited. For what, she wasn't sure. Then he met her gaze and she figured that was as good of a sign as any that he really was okay again.

With a sob, she all but flung herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. "I thought I lost you!" she cried, fingers clutching at his shirt as she crawled into his lap and pressed her ear against his chest.

Hearing his steady heartbeat only confirmed that he really was alive once more and Molly began to cry in earnest from pure, unadulterated relief. The words continued to pour from her, as well, a constant litany of everything she'd been feeling and thinking since the moment Danko had shot him.

"You were dead. He came in and he shot you and I was all alone. He tried to take me and-" She sat up a bit, back just enough to look him in the face, and her expression went from tearful joy to borderline angry.

"Don't ever do that again!" she admonished. Then she reached up, touching him gently against one cheek and added pointedly, "You can't adopt me if you're dead."

As quickly as the outburst had started, it ended, and Molly hugged him tightly once more. After a few seconds though, she paused and slowly turned to the man who was responsible for her tearful reunion. Her gaze met Sylar's and, for the first time ever, there wasn't a trace of fear anywhere to be found.

"Thank you," she said quietly, pouring all of the gratitude she could into those two words. She didn't say anything more, not sure what to say, so instead she went back to hugging Mohinder with the sort of intensity that a drowning man might cling to a life raft.

Sylar was a little surprised by the grip on his arm, but he didn't fight it. Clapping a hand lightly on Mohinder's shoulder as his attention turned to Molly, Sylar offered both of them a very light and tentative smile. "Don't worry about it. It's the least I could do," He said before turning his attention to Mohinder, chuckling a bit.

"Just try not to make a habit of it, all right?" Sylar said, knowing full well just how ridiculous that statement probably was considering Mohinder hardly asked to be shot. But still, Danko had probably done it when Mohinder had his guard down. And that... Well, that really was like asking for it.
