[An unusual sight comes up on the screen- of course, it's hard to tell just what's going on at first. The device is clearly being bumped around a little, but it soon settles into a low vibration, focusing on the face of both Gabriel Sylar and Anthony Rutherford. For once, Sylar seems to be the unsure one, eyes darting back and forth as they pass by things a little too quickly. It's the start of their new Jeep's test drive, and Sylar's used to taxicabs and the subway- not so much this.

Anthony, on the other hand, is completely at ease in the driver's seat. He smiles when the engine gets louder. Sylar seems to settle down, but his eyes widen as Anthony's hands turn the wheel in a quick, practiced motion. Sylar has to hold onto the grip on the door to keep from leaning too far- apparently he's forgotten how telekinesis works here. He lets out a disbelieving laugh.]


I know you said you could turn on a dime, but I didn't think you meant that literally.

[the pause as he figures out that the recording light is on is actually quite short. he's really gotten used to it.]

Not planning on it.

It looks ancient. Is that a combustion engine?

From: [identity profile] makes-you-tick.livejournal.com
Good guess. Although it's actually brand new.

A car like that would be worth much to collectors in my world. No one uses combustion engines anymore, and certainly not a squarish car shape like that.

...Where did it come from?

From: [identity profile] makes-you-tick.livejournal.com
We built it, Anthony and me. [oh, yes, he's obviously very proud about that.] He's teaching me mechanical engineering.

[and okay, he can't not ask, even while racing around] What powers your vehicles?

You're learning much, and quickly.

High-density fuel cells.

It's what I do.

Remind me to ask you about that when I can focus on it. They sound interesting.

Don't let Anthony bash your head in. Then again, I'm not sure that would kill you.

[Anthony laughs at that. Happy, like you haven't seen him before. In a smooth series of well-practiced motions, he changes gears and steps on the gas pedal, making the Jeep speed up. There's not much he can say to that. He did warn Gabriel.]

I did promise you I'll show you how us, mortals, fly.

[Now that Gabriel's entire attention isn't on their speed, he grins as well. This is Anthony the way he was meant to be, and Sylar's pleased (and somewhat amazed, he has to admit) to see it.]

You did promise me exactly that.

[The extra speed makes him laugh as if he were on an amusement park ride.]

We're going to run out of City if you keep this up.

No I won't. [For a brief moment Anthony looks away from the road to glance at Gabriel.]

There's some sort of loop going on, because you drive and the road changes into a dirt road and then, somehow you end up by the beach.

[he grins and speeds up again]

There's a straight road coming up. If you unfasten your seatbelt, stand up, hold onto the frame and close your eyes, you really will feel like flying.

If you want to try.

[he realizes how that sounds. and it's slightly dangerous, come to think of it. Or it would be if he was a worse driver... But Anthony tried it before, "flying", and he knows how awesome it feels.]

Got this figured out already?

[He figured it was something like that. Of course, then Anthony tells him to stand up and hold onto the frame- Sylar definitely wasn't expecting to hear that. But far be it for him to turn down something as exciting as that.]

Of course I want to try. I hadn't thought of it- when did you try this?

[he doesn't wait to unbuckle his seatbelt, at least.]

Of course I have it figured out. I had a bike the first time around. I know all the roads here.

[he adjusts the speed and slows down slightly as they get on the straight road. He turns again to look at Sylar]

I did it when I got my driving licence, there are nice roads in DC. And don't worry. I'm not going to speed up, there won't be any sudden turns.

[he smiles]

Trust me.

Of course.

[He looks back at Anthony and just stares for a moment, smiling. He couldn't describe what was going through his mind right now, even if he wanted to.]

I trust you.

[He stands, hanging on tight to the frame. He closes his eyes and just lets the wind whip past him, smiling. This isn't exactly like flying, he thinks. It's better. He can literally feel their speed. And they made this happen, just by building it.

He opens his eyes and watches the City go by, a grin on his face.]

[the grin on Anthony's face just doesn't want to go away. He keeps glancing at Gabriel, trying not to bounce in his seat. He's a happy puppy.]

Feels great, doesn't it?

[Anybody else would probably choose that moment to speed up, or faint a turn, he's seen fratboys do that. He just keeps the same speed, judging the distance they have left before he will have to adjust the car.

He drives for few more seconds before reaching up, putting his hand on Gabriel's arm, pulling him down, not strong enough to put Gabriel back in the seat, but firmly enough to let his friend know it's time to sit down.]


Okay, I need to take a turn, you should sit down.

Great is not a good enough word.

[He's not sure Anthony can hear him, even though he's yelling. When the guy tugs on his arm, he takes the lead and sits back down, putting his seat belt back on almost automatically. It's only then that the words get through to him.]

Turn? How are you going to take a turn?
