We could have been so happy. Heroes cont’d 11/10/08
Gabriel Gray.
Gabriel. Messenger of God.
Gray. Well… Aren’t we all a bit morally gray?
The scene opens to Gabriel in his Buddy Holly get up freakin out in his shop. He has done something bad. Something evil. The hunger that cannot be controlled. He had wanted and taken. It’s an evolutionary imperative.
Gab cannot deal with the remorse so he goes to hang himself. Luckily Elle is on assignment and she’s on it. You can’t let your homework die now can you?
After selling him for a couple minutes about God and bullshit, Gab calms his nerves and makes friends with Elle. Boy likes girl. Girl likes boy.
This will change the both of us.
It will turn you into a cold-blooded killer. It will turn me heartless, remorseless and worse. Maybe we have more in common than we think.
Elle is here on company’s orders. Partnered with HRG, they are not to bring Gabriel in but to provoke him. See what makes him tick. Letting an alcoholic take a whiff of liquor. He didn’t stand a chance.
Developing a genuine friendship, Elle and Gab eat pie in his ginormous apartment [you know cuz watchmaker’s are SO baller] and she wants to abort mission. He has a soul. He has remorse. Who are we to take that from him she questions.
Because it’s our job.
Elle and HRG plan a fun surveillanced date night filled with wine, ziti, and a special guest. Emoboy with the trigger happy finger. As Elle fawns over Emoboy who doesn’t hesitate to dazzle them with his glass breaking skills. Over and over. Bang. Bang. Click. Something snaps. Maybe it’s jealousy. Maybe it’s the hunger. But it’s here.
This will change the both of us.
“You think he’s so special?! Can he do this?!” and Wham. Emoboy slams into the wall. Out of panic, Elle zaps him. He is surprised. The one person he thought he could trust. Who is she?
He doesn’t kill her. Because deep down. He already loves her.
But Emoboy? You’re dead. You want a monster? I’ll give you a monster. You think this is a game? You think this is what I will become? You’re right. This is me. A soul-less monster. A killer. I’m special.
I’ve killed a lot of people Elle. You’re much to blame for that as anyone maybe even more so.
And so it is.
Assignment complete.
