Quarantine

News had a way of spreading a little too quickly. The moment Nathan had fallen at the press conference, media began having it's field day. Mohinder paid little attention.

He arrived at Odessa fourteen hours after the incident, severely jet-lagged and with a computer pre-loaded with all of the information that the Company thought he'd need. Mohinder had been down this road before, though never with such dire circumstances. The Shanti Virus was a subject near and dear to his heart, though it was far less stressful when all he needed to cure it was a bit of blood. Even though it was his own blood, at least he felt as if he was doing something.

Knowing from experience that not everything was black and white anymore, Mohinder kept his laptop and medical kit close at hand and made his way to the quarantine line with a grim look in his redrimmed black eyes. "Mohinder Suresh," he said, forgetting his title again for just a moment. "Doctor. You need to let me through."

The National Guard service man looked wary before radioing it in through the barricade. It was tense. Mohinder's shoulder bag slipped twice and he nearly dropped his sample kit. "All right, cleared to go in. Good luck, doctor."

Mohinder nodded, rubbing the back of his neck. He'd gone from New York to India and back again in two days, bringing Molly to stay with his mother. After what Sylar did to her, again, he could not risk leaving her in anyone else's care. Not with Matt gone.

Seeing the man, however, after he'd just gone off on this quest to find his father at the expense of helping him with a child they both sort of promised to look out for, did not make Mohinder smile. If anything, it only made the lines on his face etch in more deeply. He stood in front of him, looking as tired as Mohinder felt, ill fitting clothing a bit more rumpled than usual. Never mind, of course, that Mohinder had done his fair share of leaving too on his attempts to bait the Company through lectures across the globe. "Do I have a lab yet?" Mohinder asked. No greetings. No necessities. That's what happens when you abandon people, Matt.

Without quite explaining why or how it had come to him, Matt slowly approached Sylar and placed a hand to his temples, fingers spread. His usual go to was eye contact. He'd noticed it increasingly lately, the way it seemed to open something up. He wasn't expecting touch to do the same even if it seemed he would have on a more subconscious level.

It was crazy. It was fractured. He wasn't ready for the onslaught of that sickness in his head - hadn't felt anything like that before, the split open, barely-together ideas that yet ... yet, they were so focused, striving so hard onwards. It was like an animal, a predator, all teeth and no sense, except for the instinct that was terrifyingly clear.

He only fought it for a moment before he had to back away like he was burnt. It was like recoil, shooting up his arm, clawing at his head, and god, it hurt. It hurt a lot.

That flinch let both Sylar and Mohinder loose. Matt felt faint. Was quickly growing to hate that feeling.

"You sick fuck --"
aptly: (finger)

Sylar was dumbstruck, awe in his eyes and across his face as he stared Matt down. He was curious more than anything else, fascinated. He'd lost complete control of himself for just a minute but it was enough to know that he'd be unstoppable with Matt's ability.

That flinch was all that Sylar needed to pull himself together and to pin Matt once more against the wall. Sylar's predatory style was seductive, the way he leaned in, the way his lips pulled back to flash white, even teeth. Even the glimmer in his eyes read sex as he lifted his finger as he'd done so many times before to slice into a person's head.

"Because you care so much, the moment I get finished sorting through your brains, I'm going to try your little tricks out on our good friend the doctor there," Sylar whispered, Mohinder hardly able to get up.

The first slice started easily enough. Getting through bone was difficult and Sylar liked to take things very, very slowly.

"I am going to taste him from the inside out until there's nothing left of his mind but scrambled eggs."

Matt's breathing wouldn't quite make it down his lungs as the panic set in. Not able to move - Sylar so close he could feel his breath, looking at him like that - the finger coming up, and Matt was already bracing for the pain, the "no"s climbing out of his throat --

when the pain hit there was nothing he could do but scream. His skin split open by nothing, just the twisted will of this psychopath, and the blood dripping down the side of his face was warm and way, way too real.

Past that initial outburst though, Matt kept silent, or struggled to. He grit his teeth, closed his eyes, and thought desperately at Mohinder because he couldn't focus nearly long enough to catch Sylar's eyes and make him stop.

do something- you're okay, you're fine, you can take him- hurts- please- anything- Mohinder
keepinmind: (don't say that)

He winced as he dropped, choking on his own relief really, coughing and not willing at all to relax until he saw that Peter was there. But when he did, and when Mohinder had his hands on him, he just leaned forward. Grabbed Mohinder by the arm and leaned his head on his shoulder for a moment. It was painful but since he wasn't going to die from it he didn't give a crap.

Peter, meanwhile, seemed satisfied with the way the knife was lodged and was towering over Sylar's body with a grim expression. It had been quick, too quick, and he was still brimming with energy he didn't know what to do with.

He could electrocute him. Could take him anywhere in the world. Fly him into the atmosphere. What did they want to do with the body? If the knife was moved, he'd live.

Matt coughed again and looked up from Mohinder's shoulder, at Peter.

"There's really no way to make sure he doesn't come back? Hey, I- let me", he added in a murmur, making to take the towel from the geneticist to press it against the head wound himself.
keepinmind: (facepalm)

[personal profile] keepinmind 2014-01-28 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Matt was unexpectedly soothed by the gesture and for a moment his eyes were closed again and he had the brief thought that if this is what Molly felt like when Mohinder petted her, no wonder he could calm her down so quickly.

He was surprisingly distant at the moment though, from what had just happened. There was pain. There were even tears as a result of it, but the real scare would come later, the shock and the terror. They still had work to do. Matt focused on that.

He nodded briefly when Mohinder thought to him, not really having the energy to fight him on that one, could tell it was something he wanted to do. He did lift a hand to palm at his eyes though, blink the sting and wetness away, but he kept his eyes on Peter. Even if he kept a hand to Mohinder's arm.

"Should probably call Bennet", he suggested. "At least tell him we got him."

Gaze dropping to Sylar's body, he looked at Mohinder, shaking his head slightly. It throbbed. It hurt from where the coarse towel met the open wound but it only led to one or two flinches. He stayed in place.

"He's ... Jesus, I've never- his head is a mess. I couldn't handle it."

It was almost apologetic, but either way he felt the need to voice it.

"Knock yourself out", Matt answered tiredly, having been silent after what Mohinder had said; didn't feel like he had a good answer. He felt happier with the idea of Peter handling it anyway. He didn't trust the Company and never would and while he did trust Bennet now when he was no longer with them, he didn't want to just give Sylar up either. Besides, if anything went wrong? Peter was the one most likely to be able to handle it.

And all that probably registered in Peter's head, judging by the grim understanding shared between them.

At the prospect of stitches, Matt seemed a bit taken aback. Mostly because well ... a serial killer was bleeding out on their carpet. Then again, their lives had stopped being normal a while ago.

"Uh, yeah. Sure." He glanced over at Mohinder and added, "Do me a favor and look him over, too."

Peter nodded, and Matt tossed him the phone they'd brought from Odessa, the one that'd have Noah's number in the history. For whenever the opportunity arose, he thought darkly as he slowly stood and carefully stepped over Sylar's legs to go sit on the couch, taking away the towel for a moment to observe all the red stains on it.

Matt played with the towel in his hands as he felt Mohinder's fingers gently press over his temple. Now, when Peter was gone? It was like things crawled to a halt. He felt slow, sluggish, even his thinking stopped, everything but the emotions, and he felt shaky. Keeping his eyes down, he closed his fingers tighter around the damp fabric he was holding the more he listened.

"No, you wouldn't have", he said in a low tone, angling his head away for a moment to glance up at Mohinder briefly before his gaze fell again. He grimaced faintly as Mohinder's fingers returned to the tender skin around the cut. "He was ... he kept thinking ..."

He didn't quite manage to figure out what he wanted to say because he didn't really have words. There hadn't been too many sentences. Just a lot of impressions. And that was new, too. He distantly remembered telling it to Janice, saying that he could only hear thoughs, not see them. That seemed muddled now. He was sure there'd been pieces of memories in all the chaos.

He trailed off and then just finished, bluntly, "He liked seeing you hurt."

[personal profile] keepinmind 2014-01-29 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Matt was going to protest that. He had some kind of words in his mouth but honestly, he found that when he looked up again, he couldn't quite face Mohinder's expression or tone. He still didn't like it. Didn't like the way he thought. It was so bizarre, but such was his life now.

He blinked when Mohinder brought up Janice, not sure he wanted to think about her. Frowning, he tilted his head back and breathed out a sigh. God, he felt so ... weird. His body was rushing but everything was still. It was like shooting a gun for the first time except he wasn't sure how on earth he'd come down from this.

"Look", he started, almost feebly. "I know we don't ... don't see eye to eye that often. But I'm not going to- use you, okay? I know that's not what you meant, but I ... hear me out."

He was pinching the bridge of his nose. He'd probably hung out with Mohinder a bit too much.

"He was going to hurt you. I couldn't let him do that. ... that's it."
keepinmind: (yeah well)

[personal profile] keepinmind 2014-01-29 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
The position was a little awkward, initially, until Matt gave up trying to understand it and settled with his legs stretched out over the armrest of the couch. It was surprisingly comfortable once he let Mohinder fuss and although he found that he was still shaking a little at the hands and didn't know what to do with them, he slowly relaxed with Mohinder's predictable motions through his hair.

"If that's true, you can't have known any decent people, ever", he summarised the statement somewhat awkwardly. "I just ... did what I had to do. The right thing to do. Or that's what I hope."

He wasn't sure how to tackle the other pieces Mohinder had told him, and no, his mind still wasn't fully adding it all up, but it was pleasant nonetheless. Being liked and wanted. He'd tried to model himself a lot for Janice, try to be what she wanted or needed him to be, but Mohinder - it had never been that way between them. It was freeing, in a sense. He felt good with that.

Stretching out a hand in front of himself to find that he was still trembling slightly, he closed it into a fist ... and seemed to be struck by something amusing, despite that. He smiled a little and looked up at the younger man.

"I feel a bit like Molly, right now", he admitted in a surprisingly light tone. "I keep expecting you to sing."

[personal profile] keepinmind 2014-01-29 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Matt snorted; he'd never forget that first encounter. Fire extinguishers to the back of the head had a way of being entirely too memorable. "Yeah, I sort of got the idea."

Just talking - that was nice. It helped him find some ground to will away the fractures from his own head. He was hardly an expert (or maybe he was, now, who else could do what he could, in all honesty?) but he didn't think anything had changed in him from the contact. Just ... the memories of the ferocity would stick around for a while. It was like having witnessed the Walker crime scene. The images haunted him still. Now the reasoning behind them would too.

After a moment of silence on his own end, his eyes idly fixed to the ceiling as he listened to the wordless melody, he reached one of his hands up to catch hold of Mohinder's lower arm. He didn't really reflect much on it - it was just a gentle hold, something to beg for a pause. His fingers had dried blood on them.

"Thanks", he said simply.
keepinmind: (pensive)

[personal profile] keepinmind 2014-01-29 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Matt wasn't very interested in knowing either, but he did share a few thoughts with Peter just to confirm that Sylar definitely wouldn't bother anyone again. There wasn't really a lot to say after that other than Peter giving one or two instructions on what to do with the wounds if anything happened. In the end, when he said his thanks, it was just about saying them back.

He left after a hug between him and Mohinder and shoulder touching between him and Matt, with a mutual promise that if either side needed the other, they could count on each other.

It was silent despite the fact that it was still daytime outside after Peter disappeared. It was like the noise didn't really dare enter the apartment when they were both so tired and shaken and even shakier with the relief - and disbelief - of the whole thing being over.

"Okay", Matt was saying as he poured himself a glass of milk. "We want out of here by tomorrow. Let's just ... pack what we need, set everything up. Then ... sleep. Yeah."

It was an agreement to something Mohinder had been thinking and Matt was feeling happy about the company. They were a team, they were a family. They looked out for each other.
keepinmind: (interrogated)

[personal profile] keepinmind 2014-01-29 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Matt didn't curl up when he slept. He was a big guy and usually claimed that space. Now, however, with his head still throbbing and ... yeah, spinning some, he was happy to bury himself into the mattress and burrow into the closest pillow in a way he usually didn't.

When Mohinder appeared beside him, he blinked and looked up, having listened to the other man pack up everything with his eyes drifting close. "Only when I move", he said with an expression caught somewhere between a halfway smile and completely serious. "Think we're all set?"

Aside from the fact that they had no plans for where to go, it seemed they were. Matt could sense the bit of conflict Mohinder had when he thought about it but chose not to comment on it. He hoped it'd be a good thing for all of them. Just to get away from the continuous reminders of what had happened there - to all of them, now. Before all this it had just been Mohinder who had seen bad things in the apartment. Now, Molly had too. And Matt himself.

"What time is it in India?" he asked with that reflection, watching-but-not-quite-seeing as Mohinder started shedding the first layer of clothing. That seemed like a good call, he'd just kind of faceplanted on top of the bed and settled with that for the time being for his own part. He sat up slowly, refraining from touching the head injury. "You should call Molly."
keepinmind: (facehands)

[personal profile] keepinmind 2014-01-29 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Matt relented, lying back down with a faintly amused glance at Mohinder when he rolled over on his side, making a bit of space. "Mm. Remember to eat at some point."

He was quiet as Mohinder settled down and his breathing evened out but Matt found himself awake for quite a long time. Looking up at the ceiling and counting cracks in it ... he was exhausted, mentally especially so, but it was the kind that wouldn't let you rest.

He didn't leave, though, and when Mohinder inevitably crept closer in his sleep Matt let him and eventually drifted into a light sleep.

He didn't feel all that rested when he woke, but he felt okay, for the first time since Kaito Nakamura's murder.

... it struck him that he'd pulled a total disappearing act on his job and the realization settled with a small groan. But at least that one should be an easy fix.
keepinmind: (no I will not)

[personal profile] keepinmind 2014-01-29 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It was strange. It was essentially spooning. Matt was no stranger to the act itself and honestly quite liked the intimacy that came with it, but knowing that it was Mohinder made him feel all kinds of awkward about it. He more or less just let him be, trying not to think too hard about it. That said, it was a whole not nicer to think about Mohinder than Sylar and the virus, so he did when he drifted off.

And woke, almost immediately, when Mohinder left. He rolled over to his back and covered his eyes with his hands when he called out to him, not actually sure whether that had been a thought or speech and not paricularly caring either way.

"It's New York, of course they do! Don't get anything with shrimp on it", he added as he glanced at the clock as well.

Well, their sleeping schedules would be messed with for a while. Maybe just as well since Molly would probably be jetlagged to hell anyway.

He took a few more moments til he got up, dizzy from standing but knowing that he wouldn't really want to sleep if Mohinder was awake anyway. He leaned on the door frame and looked blankly at the blood stain in the living room.
