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.

"Oh does it now? And here I thought New York was the only place in the world to be blessed with the beauty that is winter," Sylar said sarcastically, though, he knew what she meant by it and he gave her a little smile. "Well, you should come in and rest, at least for an hour to acclimatize, and then we can go out. Like. Together," he offered, but of course, that was a one time thing. He didn't have his powers after all, so it wasn't like he could do anything to her anyway. But, it was actually good to meet someone that wasn't afraid of him. Who wasn't cowering and only agreeing to things he suggested and offered because they were scared he would hurt them if they didn't do what he wished. "I just can't believe God spilled the beans to you on it all. You would think she'd be a little discreet about it all," he said, the frown returning to his face for a moment, lips pressed together to form a thin line. "I just wish I could lock myself in a room and put myself into a coma until I got them back."

He was annoyed again, but, there was a good thing about him and kids, and the fact that they had this little effect on him that really, no matter how angry he was, if they were sweet his cold heart would melt, and that was just what it did when he felt her hands on his cheeks, and he looked at her with wide eyes. "Oh honeypie, well aren't you just the sweetest thing in the world," he murmured, and then pulled her closer to him and kissed the top of her head. "You make me feel better already." And that was true too.

Sylar started laughing when he saw her reaction to the mention of the hot, chocolatey drink, he could definitely provide that, or well, there was one of them who could provide it for them, though of course, he would do it if he had to. "Oh and so polite!" he exclaimed, standing up again, and then leaned down to pick the little girl up, placing her on his hip with ease before he turned to look at Tess, and a smirk twitched across his lips. "Crazy lady," he smiled and reached out, touching her cheek. "No need for you to cry. Now, get in the kitchen and make us some cocoa, woman!"

Tess smiled sheepishly at mention of God, followed them in and immediately poked to find the kitchen as she spoke to him. "God. . .we sort of have a special relationship." She told him softly, taking off her coat and going to the cupboards, digging out cocoa mix and cayenne pepper, Mexican roots always there to haunt her. Smiled over at the two of them. "My parents died when I saw six," She told him softly, lowering her eyes as she set to work getting a kettle going, pouring mix into mugs for Sylar and Teacup, had found a bag of tea for hersef since she avoided chocolate and other caffeines. "They were in a plane crash and friends of the family adopted me. Anyway, God looked out for me when I was alone in another world for a couple of months and a few years here. It's felt like years, anyway."

Leaned against the counter as she waited for the pot to boil, Teacup settled in Sylar's arms still, happily trailing one, tiny fingertip across the stubble on his cheek, amused at the feeling. Logan rarely had stubble, so she was used to his face being smooth and even the older Tess couldn't recall if her father had ever gone a day without a smooth shave. Teacup decided it was a welcome roughness, and leaned to press a sweet little kiss to the prickly skin, giggling at the tickle it produced, wiping her mouth to try and get rid of it. Tess watched with a chuckle, standing straight when the kettle began to whistle.

Added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cups, not enough to make the cocoa actually spicy, but it would add a pleasant warming sensation to it. Added the water and mixed it up, looked up at Sylar and smiled. "My Abuelita used to always make it this way, she used raw cocoa though, made all of it herself." The packaged stuff wasn't any different. "It wont burn you, but it's good in the winter to keep your body warm. Warm you up from the cold. You can add marshmallows or whatever you like, she'll drink it plain or all dressed up." Pinched Teacup's cheek playfully, poured the remaining water from the kettle into a teacup, added the bag she had found and stirred it. The smell made Ace give a happy little wiggle and she sighed tiredly, patting the spot. "All right, all right. Settle down, no sugar this time, I'd like to sleep later tonight."
