Maya had been watching Peter horrified, worried. She didn't want to be responsible for spreading her curse to anyone else. His power must have been dreadful. So hard to take in.
"I'm sorry...I hope you do not gain it, it brings nothing but misery, nothing but death"
Gabriel looked across and spoke to her, he sounded sincere, in fact he had sounded sincere in all her time here.
Maybe.
"He killed Alejandro, made me a killer. Destroyed me in many ways. But...He did those things"
Taking a deep breath Maya stood and took the few steps towards Gabriel making sure to keep as far from Peter as she could.
"He...was you" she said kneeling slightly to the side of him and offering her hand even as every instinct she had told her to activate her power and end this. "I can see that. He was you but something changed, some circumstance made him Sylar. You are not responsible for him"
She looked up, keeping the poison tears at bay.
"You will not atone for what he did to me because it was not your fault. You are not Sylar"
It took a lot for her to say it, and more for her to be that close to the man, who...looked so like, and in many ways was the man she had so loved and so hated. But this Gabriel needed to hear it, and from someone outside of his friends, someone who had every right to hate the face she saw before her now.
