Sylar hasn't eaten anything, ordered by himself or not, since walking into Milliways a few days ago and finding it teeming with animals that didn't (tICk) quite sound like (ttticK) animals.

Sometimes, however, precaution only goes so far. Especially if it's precaution in the wrong direction.

During one particular long and barren stretch of highway in rural Ohio, Mohinder, with the passion of a true professor, spent fifteen minutes describing in a rapid-fire cadence how the cockroach was the pinnacle of the evolutionary ladder. Strangely enough, Sylar isn't deriving much comfort from that at the moment.

What he's doing instead is perching on a chair back, motionless save the wary twitching of his antennae, as he struggles to interpret his new senses.

She didn't move and she focused on trying to calm him, to let him know she wasn't going to hurt him. To reach out and touch him with her mind the way she'd communicated with the dolphins in her early childhood.

Allie frowned, and set her chin in her hand, watching him now.

"You are horridly paranoid."

She was not trying to think that he deserved being a cockroach.

"No, you don't know me."

Allie said very simply, her lips pursed in an almost annoyed formation.

"But you have met me once."

That step she thinks would be much scarier if he were towering over her and not smaller than her hand.

But, just the same, it is still felt.

"And what did you see?"

"To you, maybe." Her head tilted slightly. "But then you decided my opinions were wrong about your paths, too."

She thinks it's easier this way. He's smaller. It's like playing God, even when you aren't. Except he can't use his size and his scary face over her right now.

And everything in his head and his time seems distorted by whatever distorted his body.

"Same as you. It's the way I was born."

"Just like there's more in me."

Allie shook her head at the small man orthopterous insect.

"Another stage of evolution humanity isn't ready to grasp."

Which was so partial to why she couldn't stay among them.

"You consider it a reason to look down on them." Allie said, with a frown.

"Babies in their diapers can not understand algebraic functions or quantum mechanics. We do not drown them for their insolence in abject ignorance."

Beat.

"They just need time."

"No."

She corrected.

"It's a temporally imperative your not willing to wait for. It's a choice."

The worst part, perhaps, she thought, as she did not push herself to her feet just yet--






He was quite right about that.
