The remote dropped from my numb fingers the moment it flashed across the screen, Costa Verde's is no more.

(newsflash, newsflash your life went up in smoke when you were at your nine to five job)

I felt like the world was spinning and it was just a matter of time before I came crashing down (black and white wings in hand) but as I felt all my senses leave me, my life didn't flash before my eyes (daddy, shush-o, and Sylar) his did.

My baby boy, I died the moment he did.

-

The moment his little hand reached in the air for us, our act seemed to drop away, the one where we were shatter-proof and our eyes never seemed to drop one single tear until now, his (husband-dear that before called me wife while I called him lover that I always would hate until now) whole body for a moment was glowing.

"Forgive me little, Noah, Your daddy is the only one that can glow with happiness, you'll just have to do with a smile from mommy."

-

"I-I saw you lighting up the news, husband."

If the Sylar of the past (that haunts us even to this very day, it was the end of everything) saw himself now he would be disgusted of the hollow man that stood before me.

Tears were gone from both of our bodies and the both of us were done blowing up so the world can now rest easy.

"He's gone, they killed him, Elle, they killed him."

"I know, Gabriel, I'm a mother, was, I knew the moment they killed him."

Together as one we crumbled, we came crashing into each other until there was no more room left between us (only a space kept open for him,'not so tight I can't breathe, mommy!') and we were supporting each others hearts that at the moment were bleeding.

In the silence we asked questions with our eyes (that were dry from the tears but still found a way to keep them coming), 'did we love him enough?' 'was he ever safe?' 'how could we be this stupid?'

And from all of the questions upon questions we only got one answer, 'We loved him far too much for our own good, we knew this day was coming from the very start.'
