Who:Tess, Ickle!Tess and Future!Sylar. (Yes, you can all pick your jaws up off the floor now!)
Where/When:Sylar's place, Tuesday afternoon.
What: Friendliness, bonding, kid talk.
Warnings/Status: Totally safe. Except maybe language. In prog.

So, Sylar wasn't as big of an epic douche as Tess had originally thought. She was still slightly wary, especially now that she'd seen the show and knew what he was capable of but he had no reason to hurt Teacup, or her. No special brain powers there, aside from pure, school-engraved knowledge.

New York was going to be cold. So Tess not only bundled Teacup up for that, but she took her to buy some more colder-climate appropriate things before Godboxing them and her things out to New York. Meh. It wasn't as bad as it had been when she had morning sickness but it still wasn't fun and Ace gave a disapproving kick. But it was free transport. Tess paused and looked at the door, then knelt by Teacup, adjusting her hat over her ears.

"Ok, you, are going to like it here and you know if you ever want to see me or Logan you just ask on the board, ok?" The little version of herself nodded and Tess smiled at her, stood to take her hand and walked to knock at the door, thumb stroking the back of the child's hand soothingly, even though she wasn't exhibiting fear. She was brave, and she liked "Sywah", so she just waited intently to get to see him.

"Yeah I lived in Cleveland one year, it gets cold there too, I just wanted to get a start. . ." Waved her hands to signal she could say more but wouldn't. "I just. . .felt really bad that you were on your own dealing with this, I know sometimes it's just easier to ignore the world and deal sometimes but. . I know it feels good to smile too." Like he was right then. Tess didn't fully know why she felt so . .at ease when it came to Sylar, unafraid. Why she felt so much empathy for him and compassion and. . .maybe she even cared for him as a friend. But she wasn't sure admitting that would do her any good just then.

Little Tess smiled up at Sylar like the made the sun shine every day, reached to gently hold his cheeks in tiny, chubby hands and stood on tiptoe to kiss his chin, and Tess watched, astounded by it. It was something she had often done with Gus as a small child, and her adopted father, something she still did with Logan today, easy since she was so much shorter. A sign of respect, and affection. "I dwad oo feel bettah, Sywah."

At the mention of cocoa she lit up even bright and gasped with joy, her hands moving off of his face to clasp together near her tiny little heart. Tess had once seen her capacity to love without question as a weakness and in her teen years, angry at her parents for having died, angry at the Gusters for trying to replace them. . .Now, as a grown woman looking down at the infantile version of herself, perhaps because of the child growing in her womb then or the hormones that gave off, she saw it as one of the most beautiful things she had ever seen, and her eyes were glistening with tears that she refused to shed as she smiled down at her. "Yes pwease, totoa!"
