"Stop being so melodramatic," she mumbled to no one, probably herself, walking up to them. She stood a foot away, flinching in her mind as the burn throbbed. Yeah, it wasn't that bad, and yeah, it would probably be healed at the end of the day. Didn't mean she couldn't whine and moan about it until it did. She was, as Luke said before, a girl.
She glanced up at Gabriel, cocking an eyebrow. She shook her head, not really sure how to decipher that statement. He was exceptionally confusing. For a fleeting second she wondered if that was some kind of power he had or something.
"Your fish is probably rotten by now," deciding on impulse to be a bitch, she pointed out the obvious. Elle eyed the fish in question and made a face. She didn't like fish, really. Anything from water gave her the creeps.

"It's barely even dead. Don't act like a bitch." Sylar said, knowing it would ruffle her. Dropping his arm from Luke's shoulders, he moved closer to her and reached down to catch her arm and look at it. There were red marks where Luke's hand had been. "It's not so bad." He murmured, letting her go.

Luke made a soft, scornful noise.
"Dude, I hardly even touched her. She's fine."
He didn't know why he was being so defensive. She'd done about the same to him. He examined the tips of his sore fingers carefully, scowling a little.

Moving closer to Luke again, Sylar grinned a little, looking at his fingers. "Aww. Poor baby." he teased, reaching out and touching the others hand. Just to be mean he pinched the tip of one of the burnt fingers, then chuckled. "Need me to kiss them and make them better?" he asked, though it was hard to tell if he was being genuine or taunting.
But just then he heard the buzz of a mosquito too near his ear for comfort, and he brushed his hand over his cheek and ear. "Urgh. I'm getting out of the woods." He muttered, taking off again and letting the other two catch up if they wanted.

Elle scoffed. She mumbled something unintelligent under her breath. In her honest opinion, she had the right to be bitchy. It was what she was. What she did. Besides, the fish had been dead for like an hour. And they were fish. Ew, much?
She blushed when he grabbed her arm. She'd never thought of herself as short, being 5'5", but standing next to Gabriel, she felt like a munchkin. He was at least six feet. It was kinda scary when he was up close. Intimidating. Didn't help that he was insanely attractive. Eh. When he let go, she cradled her arm and mumbled something in between a "thanks" and a "screw off".
A scowl crossed her face. Luke was so clingy to Gabriel. She wondered how long they'd been together. Could Gabriel even go to the grocery store without Luke threatening to slit his wrists? "Jealous, much?" she asked under her breath, looking down at the ground and pretending she didn't say anything.
When Gabriel went on ahead she paused, lifting her brow in confusion. "Why don't you zap'em?" she asked when she caught up. "They're attracted to the blue light, all you really have to do is hold out an orb, like this." She lifted up her arm and held it out, a blue-green ball jumped around in her palm. Elle gave a half-smile to the man.

"Yeah, exactly, It attracts them, and I don't want to be a human bug zapper, thank you." He said, though he did raise his free hand and form a matching orb of electricity to match hers. Curious, he extended his arm, drawing close enough to her that an arc of current jumped from his hand to hers, connecting them. It tingled a little, and he smirked, glancing from their hands to her face.

Elle squealed at the tingling. It felt good. She looked up at Gabriel, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She'd never met anyone with her ability, never been connected to anyone like that. It felt really good in a... really weird way. Like maybe being on this island wasn't a curse after-all. She could have hugged him there, if she wasn't afraid of being zapped, for making her feel at least a little wanted.

Luke rolled his eyes, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"You done? We going?"
Not that he was jealous. Well. A bit.

It was definitely an interesting effect, that was for sure. They could shock each other and burn skin, but when both of them were using their power it seemed to simply combine instead of doing harm to either of them. He turned his hand a little, causing a few more currents to leap across between their hands, then gave her a satisfied sort of smirk. Pulling his hand back, he severed the connection and closed his fist on the orb of electricity.
"You got a chance to play, Luke, I was just taking my turn." he said, despite the fact that he'd gotten onto them about that same thing just minutes before. "Don't be jealous." he said flatly, leveling a stare at him before reaching over and cupping the back of his neck almost forcefully to make him start walking again. He continued to watch the boy a moment, sliding his thumb none too gently across the marks he'd left on Luke's skin as a reminder.
"Come on, Elle." he said, giving her a glance before turning his focus back to Luke as they walked.

He scowled at Sylar.
"I'm not jealous." he denied hotly, walking when Sylar guided him into doing.
His expression softened just a little when Sylar touched him, leaning into the tall man's body.

When Luke stated that he wasn't jealous Sylar felt a distinctly uncomfortable feeling wash over him, and he frowned. "Don't lie to me, Luke." he murmured, trailing his fingers up into the back of the dark reddish brown hair. They were nearing the edge of the woods, where it thinned out closer to the clearing where the housing was located. Sylar slowly dropped his hand, letting it trail down the boys back before letting go completely.

Luke hesitated and then moved forwards, not making another attempt to attach himself to Sylar again. He wasn't getting anywhere being clingy. But he didn't want to be ignored either. At the moment, he was at a bit of a loss of what to do.

Elle glared at Luke from the corner of her eyes, but was happy when Gabriel didn't pull away instantly. Instead, he played with the electricity for a moment longer. She liked that, made her feel special and the center of attention. Closing her fist as well, she sighed with a tad of disappointment. She wondered if he'd let her do that again later.
Warily, she glanced between Luke and Gabriel. She followed when she was told, and looked at the ground. That moment was between them and she had enough decency to shut up when she wasn't needed or wanted in a conversation. Usually. She let herself wander in thought.
When the trees cleared, Elle became restless. So many people in this "town". So many killers. So many.. powers. To her, it felt like the town was over-run with them. Like if you take a wrong step, the whole island would blow up. She stopped walking when the last of the trees cleared. Worrying her bottom lip between her teeth, she stared out at the houses. Elle quickly walked up close to Gabriel, not touching but very close. The whole place made her nervous. She could feel the blue sparks jump from her fingers at her discomfort.

He wouldn't admit to it, but Sylar sort of liked being able to control the other two. It was definitely some sort of power trip. He continued on when they came to the edge of the woods, not bothering to gesture them to follow. He was trying to keep a low profile in case anyone else on the island was keeping tabs on him. Now he seemed to be collecting young, good looking kids, and he didn't need the attention that that could bring.
It took a minute more for him to lead them down the path to the house he'd claimed, and he flicked his hand at the door to unlock it and let himself in. Tossing the fish onto the counter, he leaned his hip against it and crossed his arms, waiting for the two of them to follow him inside.

Elle stared at the man from the doorway. She stood a step inside, not going any further. Her eyes darted around. It was a clean, nice place. Reminded her of her own house - except her underclothes weren't thrown over the couch and a pile of "clean" laundry wasn't sitting next to a few used plates on the table. Directing her gaze back to Gabriel, she folded her arms around her stomach defensively.
"So," she started, pausing. She recalled how he'd unlocked the door before continuing. "Rapid cellular regeneration, electric manipulation and... Telekinesis? I'm guessing there are a few more..?" she asked.
