heroesvs week vi | sylaire

the ever-changing flavors of sylaire:

it's the monster who falls back to manhood, who reaches the pinnacle of his power thinking it has made him invincible, but in doing has created the very instrument of his destruction. because before that he was the bogeyman, was untouchable, unkillable, until he remade himself in claire's image and painted a target on the back of his head, gave himself the one weakness that she knew how to find - to everyone else he had ascended, but to her he fell, became mortal, and for the girl who made suicide an art form, who had resigned herself to murder for the greater good (and had that taken out of her hands by each of her fathers in turn), it's hardly a great step to take her vengeance

and when he placed her scalp back onto her head it was a coronation, a crown made from her own blood, a revelation that she'd always had the potential for greatness within her; he was the fire that forged her from daddy's princess to dragon-phoenix-queen - and at the end of her journey she slew her dragon and watched him burn

but oh, the journey - gone were the feminine heels; her white wardrobe was replaced with gray, and it's more than him staining her; it's her emulating that which she most fears and hates because on some level she recognizes that

she wants to be just as terrifying and dangerous as him

and his journey is just as tulmultous - for the first time his victim lives, and worst yet it's someone he respects, someone that (he is told) he is supposed to protect and instead violated; he knows that an apology is the very least she deserves, and they won't even let him give her that

by the end she's changed, from cheerleader to stone-cold killer, but he's changed too - how could any ability compare to what he took from her? the hunt becomes a habit instead of a drive; he finds himself seeking connection, seeking someone like him - and she provides it; he's molded her enough that the encounter proves just as deadly to him as taking her power was for her

he goes on a journey to find out what he is, what kind of man he is, what he must be, and when his father tells him that connections are worthless, it is her power that he flaunts, her life that proves connection is worthy of aspiring to; it is her that the monster desires (because gabriel the man loved several women, but sylar the monster only ever loved one)

meanwhile the claire acts like the weapon he made her, starts to take control of her people, defies her fathers' orders and helps innocent and guilty alike, because they are all her people (and perhaps she ponders whether she could bear to help him should he come to her for aid)

and when they meet again they are somewhat equals, a woman grasping for power and a monster grasping for connection, and yet there's disconnect, too much history and anger to resolve that problem quite yet

he is forced back down to manhood, mind and body ripped from each other, and both experience manhood without comprehension, but also develop a craving, a yearning for a life so simple, so peaceful, so accepted

she abdicates and flounders, because once a queen always a queen, and while she tries to live a normal life something like fate has recognized her sovereignity, and recognized the connection between the two of them, and she thinks of him every time she encounters evil because he was her teacher there, and every evil act she assumes is a test from him (she's known for a long time now that fire cannot kill a devil)

and despite having the blood of half her family on his hands, she no longer attempts to kill him (pain is different, can be prolonged, and doesn't result in an eternity of solitude like she had feared to face before he made his anticlimactic return) - she becomes his teacher in how to be a man, and it's a reversal of their first meeting; she is the elevated one now, untouchable, and it's him that the knight must rescue

the finale gives us a man and a queen where was once a monster and a girl, and hints at so many more future possibilities - a man and a goddess; a monster and his mate; two deities ruling over a wasteland; two lonely people clinging to each other because there is no one else left to cling to; the immortal and the watchmaker
