Can you pick a lock?

[private to Tony]

Do you still have my file?

[private to Peter, added after her ability mysteriously vanishes]

~~Did you~~

~~Why~~

Peter...

Nope.

Really helpful.

Why should I be helpful to psycho bitchlady? Not my responsibility an more, after all.

Uh-huh. Turns out I really was too hot for you to handle.

Nah, I just realized that you don't actually have a soul or a brain, so wasn't quite sure how I could reform you. I figured I'd stop wasting your time and hope you got someone who wouldn't feel guilty leaving you dead.

Sure Tony. If that's what you have to tell yourself to be able to live with your shriveled manhood.

I think I can-I'm pretty rusty though.

Locked up in your room?

No, I wanna give Sylar a little surprise in return for interrupting our fun.

I like the way you think. Define 'surprise'.

I haven't thought it all the way through yet, but I figure it'll involve pain.

We'll have to be pretty careful though. I can't heal myself or others. And this time, it's for real.

But pain? I'm always up for it.

I asked Peter to give it back, but he said no.

My ability's gone too. Sylar said he took it away and he wants to make some kind of deal to give it back.

That's usually not a good sign. I wouldn't trust any deal he wants to make.

What do you want to do? Just whack him on the back of the head? If I find something that's vaguely sword-shaped I might actually be some use.

He wants me to promise not to hurt him for six months and he'll "try" to get my ability back. I think he's in love with me.

Tie him up while he's sleeping and then follow our instincts.

Sylar? That's slightly disgusting.

That seems simple enough. Be awake at 3 in the morning the day after tomorrow. We'll go from there.

It could come in handy. And it's not that disgusting. I mean, have you seen him without his shirt on?

Okie-dokie.

He pokes around in people's heads. He touched my brain-that's how he can heal. And honestly? I'd care more about you without your shirt on than him without his shirt on.

Don't worry, he's got nothing on you.

Well thank you.

Yeah?

It's gone again. Somebody took it away.

It wasn't me.

Can you come over?

Yeah, sure.

Want me to bring Izzy too?

Yeah, okay.

I love you.

I love you too.

This is the part where you ask what the hell happened to your abilities, where I tell you I took them away. Then we talk, make a deal. Then maybe you get them back.

Or would you rather get revenge with Adam, hope it works in your favor?

How did you take them away?

By having the kind of power that matters.

Whose strings did you pull?

Peter's.

If you ask a stupid question, Elle, you'll get a stupid answer.

Do you want to make a deal or not?

What do you mean, Peter's? He had nothing to do with it!

...What kind of deal?

I'll see what I can do to her your abilities--what you had before--returned to you. You agree not to attack me or to try to kill me for six months. It's a fair trade, I think.

What fun would that be?

I'll let you get back to me in three days without your spark and see.

Do you think Peter will still love you as much?

He does. He said so.

Then it must be true.
