It took no more than a small cough to make him wince. Sylar brushed his fingers over the thick bandage that ran over his chest and wrapped around his back to cover the exit wound from being run through by Hiro’s katana. He growled, the sound deep in his throat, while he pondered all the things he could do to the pain in the ass once he was free from this place.
His dark eyes narrowed as he glanced at the heavy red door across from his bed. It was the only color in the place. Cinderblock walls that were painted white that went with white bedding on the narrow institutional metal framed bed that was also painted white. Even the scrubs he was dressed in were white.
“At least it’s better than Texas,” he grumbled. “But then isn’t everywhere?” He drew his feet up onto the bed and wrapped his arms around his knees, but that hurt too, making him suck a sharp breath between his teeth before he returned his feet to the cold white tile floor. Sylar wanted to rant at the speaker on the wall, telling his keepers what he’d do to them when he got his powers back, but he knew it would get him nowhere. His only choice was to play nice. Play nice and eventually someone would fuck up, and he’d get away.
