Return, and Old Faces [Narrative / open for Niki]
Molly watched Matt drive off, waving. She turned and went back inside, flanked by Cates and Cather. She liked Cather. He was thin and funny and not as intimidating as Cates. They would be her watchers? Or was that just for today? She wasn't sure, but once she went inside the Kirby Office Building, they slipped in behind her, followed her through the security gate - she had her own card now! - and up into the elevator.
Forty-second floor, once again. For a moment Molly was scared it would look the same. But it didn't. The walls were more open, and painted a warm tan, instead of white. There were no bleeding men by the elevators.
"We just want you to be safe in case Sylar comes back again. You were safe here before, and you can help us try to stop him."
Molly had shuffled her feet, feeling nervous. "My new babysitter scared him away. He said he wouldn't let the Boogy Man ever hurt me."
The man had smiled. " I'd like to borrow your sitter sometime, if he can scare off Sylar. But scaring him off isn't stopping him from killing other people, like us. The longer he stays out there, Molly, the stronger he'll get, and one day, your sitter won't scare him anymore. No one is invincible. Which is why we'd like you to help us make sure that never happens."
Molly worried at lip, before saying, "Matt and Mohinder said I don't have to do it if I don't want to."
The man shook his head. "You don't. If you say no, no one is going to come after you, or Matt, or Mohinder, unless you come after my people. All I can offer you is a place where you'll be safe from Sylar, and all you could give me is the locations I ask for. If your powers fell into Sylar's hands, it could spell the end for all of us.
"Can I... still go to school? And can I bring my lizard?
"I don't see why not. I've got a goldfish."
"And when I ask to, can I go back home?"
"So long as someone goes with you."
"What if Adam came to pick me up?"
"I'm afraid Adam has a habit of blowing up my buildings and killing my staff."
Molly's eyes widened, and she shook her head. "Adam wouldn't do that."
The man shruged. "He doesn't seem like he would. He might not again. However, there are too many people dependent on my decisions to keep them alive for me to risk it. But, if you would like him to meet you someplace close to the facility, that could be arranged."
"What's gonna happen to the people I find? Are you gonna hurt them?"
We're going to talk to them, like I am to you, if we can. Offer them help and protection--sometimes a job. We give them a tracker, similiar to the one in you, and ask them for a DNA sample and study their powers. Warn them about Sylar. If they're dangerous or hurting people, we may bring them back with us for containment, to make sure they don't hurt anyone else."
"But you won't hurt them. Not unless they're bad like the Boogyman, and then, only to stop them. Right?"
"That's right."
"Promise? Cross your heart and hope to die?"
"Cross my heart and hope to die."
"....................okay."
