Five Centuries Gone - Sylar, Firefly Drabble

[watchmakersylar]

Character: Sylar (5 Years Gone), Malcolm Reynolds and River Tam
Word Count: 347
Rating: G
Prompt: I was challenged to do a Mal and Sylar fic
Notes: for sinemoras

He tilted his head to the side in an almost insect manner. The girl was broken. When his dark eyes locked with River Tam’s he could see so many things, and Sylar had no doubt that she was looking back into the pits of his 500 plus year old soul. If she wasn’t already crazy, he was certain that her poking around in his head would have driven her over the edge.

“Leave her alone!” The reinforced cell door of the ship’s brig vibrated as the man inside threw himself against it “Get your gorram Alliance hands off of her!”

“Mr. Reynolds.” The tall lanky operative turned from River’s eyes to look at the scruffy man in the browncoat. “I’m afraid you’re in no position to make demands on me or anyone else on this ship. You will be taken to Londinium where they will attempt to rehabilitate you.”

Sylar folded his hands behind his back. The Alliance had given him a home after five centuries of being shunned and examined by one scientist after another. When he’d finally been allowed to wake up from his cyber induced cryo sleep, he’d worked his way into their ranks becoming the best Operative they’d ever seen.

“You ain’t got no right to take her. She’s free. We’re all free. You got a problem with me, you deal with me. You leave River out of it.” Malcolm Reynolds’ eyes were filled with such a searing rage that Sylar actually took a step back from the cage. “Take me. Take Serenity. You just let that girl go.”

“That girl is property of the Alliance,” Sylar said calmly as if he was talking to a child. “She’s broken. We didn’t get to finish our work. But now we’ll do what needs to be done to make her better. She is no longer your concern. I do hope you enjoy your trip, Mr. Reynolds. I do have to thank you though. You did make it an extremely interesting hunt for me, and it’s been a very long time since I’ve found anything interesting.”

CYBER-INDUCED CRYO SLEEP FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're welcome sweetheart. Now I just need to get Mal, Sylar and River to shut up. This does not need to be more than a drabble.

[sinemoras.livejournal.com]

YESSSS! DO IT!!!! :D

[sanguinepen.livejournal.com]

no, no, no tempting me.... It'll probably happen. I'm just not sure how to do it without having one or all of them die.

[tinadoll.livejournal.com]

Yes. Sylar meets Mal and River!!! I figured he would totally be part of the Allience LOL


Now what happens if he meets Jayne? LOL

[sanguinepen.livejournal.com]

He certainly wouldn't bother with that brain. LOL

LMFOA

*sigh* A girl can dream!

LMAO!

HOLY SHIT!!! Sylar's an Operative! That's just too freakin' cool to put into words :D

I love his cool exterior.. and Mal being all protective over River.. and the Alliance wanting to rehabilitate Mal.. and the part about Sylar being 'examined by one scientist after another'. Too much to love in just a few short paragraphs.

One thing I have to mention though, is that a "drabble" is exactly 100 words. That's it. Only 100. This would qualify as a ficlet.

I'm glad you liked the story.

I used the word count used on heroes_contest. They count drabbles up to 500 words.

OMG!!!!!!! *squee*

The best ever!

[sylar.livejournal.com]

Thanks muchly.

[damedbx.livejournal.com]

YW :)

[flwrpwr-vampyre.livejournal.com]

This was awesome. I really like the idea of Sylar as an operative.

[sylar.livejournal.com]

Thanks I'm glad you liked it. :)

“Take me. Take Serenity. You just let that girl go.”
WOW! Take Serenity ....!!! WOW!!!

Yaowza!

[sylar.livejournal.com]

Well we all know that Mal loves River.

[razycrandomgirl.livejournal.com]

like in the romantical sense? Cause I didn't know that. :x

icon: is that "v" for virgin? :D

[sylar.livejournal.com]

That V has been for that in a few instances. ;)

I don't know that Mal will ever be in love with anyone other than Inara, but I do think he loves River a great deal.

[razycrandomgirl.livejournal.com]

ok yes. La Familia.

[dealing-death.livejournal.com]

I really am retarded when it comes to the Firefly fandom but I do love this piece and I agree with all the requests for more.

[sylar.livejournal.com]

Ah another fandom I need to rope you in to. Muhahhahaha

[dealing-death.livejournal.com]

I have seen Serenity a few times. Love it. So I think roping me in would be easy.

**icon squee**

[bellonablack.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. When Sylar folded his hands behind his back, I got this total bad-ass image. XD

Not familiar with this except for the movie, and I did like River Tam, but this is awesome. I like the tension, and Sylar, again, seems AWESOME!!!

I could just see River being a kid that the Company/Alliance fucked with. She really was the glue that made writing Mal and Sylar possible.

[river-firefly.livejournal.com]

Very well done hon! I enjoyed it!

[sylar.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie. I thought about you when I wrote it. ;)

[river-firefly.livejournal.com]

awwwww!!

[shartyrant.livejournal.com]

I've thought about it. And thought about it some more. I have decided it would be very cruel and inhumane of you not to give us a sequel. I can respect the cruelty. I can even respect the inhumaness of not posting more to torture us, but since I am one of those being tortured, you MUST give us more. Sylar is one of the main reasons I watch Heroes. Serenity/Firefly is just plain a favorite period. Crossing the two like you did works so well. Sylar as an Operative. We now know why Mal didn't win (so far) again him. He makes all the other Operatives and Blue Men look like kiddies. I would love to see the "hunt". I would love to see the finish.

We are actually continuing this in RP on acrosstheverse. Come on by and read (or play) along.

[charlene816.livejournal.com]

Mal and Sylar! Awesome! That's not a pairing I ever would have thought of, but it works! Brings in a whole new realm of tongue-in-cheek opportunities.

--I do hope you enjoy your trip, Mr. Reynolds.--
Sylar just popped up in a flight attendant's uniform. I'm undecided if I would be thrilled to be on that flight or not... oh, leaning a bit towards 'yes'. Lol!

[charlene816.livejournal.com]

Wow, just noticed how old this was. Tag caught my eye, glad it did. I'd have hated to miss it.

[sylar.livejournal.com]

:) I used to write a lot of Firefly fic. My Mal LJ is cptmalreynolds if y'all want to see it.

You are really going through the archives. LOL

[charlene816.livejournal.com]

I didn't see the point in going to bed until I could only get 4hrs of sleep... besides I was having fun.

Friday night, woo hoo! Maybe I'll really live it up tonight... lol

Honestly it's been so long since I've done that much reading, it *was* fun.
