Chapter Five
"Where No Man Has Gone"
Alexis - Unknown Location
"What do you want from me?" Alexis asked the man, who was now staring at her, his arms folded in front of him.
"I hear you've manifested." he stated, with apparent interest. "Care to demonstrate?" As he said this, the two armed guards made an obvious movement as they aimed squarely into Alexis' face.
"I don't know what you mean..." she said evasively, looking at her feet.
"No? Then let me jog your memory" he pulled a mobile phone from the inside of his lab coat and held it up, to show a recording of her impaling one of the men sent to recapture her. Alexis looked up to see him pointing a dart gun at her neck. "I'd like to see how that works...". Everything faded into nothingness once more...
Opening her eyes, this time Alexis found herself in a larger room. The walls and floors where made from some kind of white tiled material and there seemed to be no windows or doors. No way out.
"Hello?" she called.
"Hello, Alexis" came the electronic, disembodied vocie again. "You're to demonstrate your ability, please begin."
"But I don't know how!" she called in response, truthfully. No response came.
Annoyed, Alexis stared at her fingernails, willing them to change and sprout the green growth things again. "Come on..." she mouthed to herself, focusing intensely. Nothing happened. She suddenly flicked her arm as hard as she could in front of her. Nothing happened. "It's not working!" she shouted.
Meanwhile...
"Where am I? And where is my friend?" Mohinder asked, as a tall man in a white lab coat entered his cell, escorted by two armed guards.
"This is a uh... private organisation. We specialise in scientific research." he told Mohinder, vaguely.
"I see. And I take it this 'research' isn't exactly a weekend hobby, is it?" Mohinder challenged him
"Ah... no" the man admitted, with yet another of his self-satisfied smiles. "You and your friend are going to be included in a little project we're currently undergoing."
"Project?" Mohinder questioned, anxiety building.
"Don't worry." he assured Mohinder "If successful, you should both benefit greatly."
"Are you talking about... abilities?"
"Oh, I see you know more than would be expected." the man said, partly impressed, but also with an air of sudden suspicion and slight fear. "Do you have an ability?"
"See for yourself!" Mohinder yelled, launching himself at the man, and holding him in front of himself, as a human shield against the guards. He launched the man at them, knocking them out of the room at to the floor.
As he ran forwards, the door began to snap shut, though Mohinder managed, just in time, to thrust a hand out and stop it. It took a lot of force, but he managed to open it just enough to squeeze through, before it snapped shut again. As he passed, he took the two guns from the guards.
He shot at the nearest glass wall, but nothing seemed to happen. It seems they were extremely reinforced and therefore practically impossible to break. As he jogged down the corridor, unfamiliar faces flashed by. People in cells. Many were asleep, but some had pressed themselves against the walls to see what was happening. "I'm sorry" Mohinder mouthed at a young asian girl, possibly about 10 years old as she looked at him pleadingly. He had no way of helping them.
After a long run he reached a large, metal door. Similar to the ones used in aircraft hangars. (The facility must be underground, Mohinder thought to himself, as it was far too large to be kept off the radar, as he assumed it must be). It was too large to force open, even for him. To the side was another metal door. He peered through a small square window to the side.
Looking through, he saw what looked like an operating theater. A stretcher with restraints held an unfamiliar young man in place, despite him being unconcious as various 'surgeons' operated. As one moved aside, Mohinder saw they were operating on his exposed brain, the top of his head removed.
"This is the start of something... incredible" came the man in the lab coat's voice, as Mohinder whipped around to find a gun pointed at his face. "And like it or not... you're going to be a part of it."

Fares To Everywhere Cab Company was in its third day and Mohinder had been recruiting agents, most of them he took from Primatech and Pinehearst as many agents lost jobs after they were brought to an end.
Mohinder also recruited some scientist from India that he knew but Mohinder didn't really have any power in the company yet...
He decided to start trying to recruit some people he knew with powers, so he gave Tracy a call.
"Hello Tracy Strauss? It's Mohinder Suresh."
"Hello Doctor, what do you need?"
"I want to know if your interested in working with me?"
"Working with you... Doing what exactly?"
"I'm setting up an organization that helps people with abilities stay off the radar from the government. We need to stick together!"
"Okay Suresh. Where do you need me?"
"Meet me at my apartment whenever it is possible and then I'll show you where we work."
"Okay then I'll come round soon. See you there."

Mohinder paused. "Nice to meet you, Dorian." he said at last, as they stopped at another stoplight. He paused again, a realization coming to him. "Did you say that you lived...under a building?"
Dorian nodded. "I did." she said to him.
Mohinder blinked. She lived under a building?
Dorian smiled. "Trust me, it's a nice apartment." she said, as if she knew what he was thinking.
The light turned green, and he continued to drive. "If we were to...reform the company," he began, "what would it's, public face be?" His eyes went to the mirror. "Primatech's face was the paper company."
"I was thinking, this." she said.
He raised his eyebrows. "A cab company?" he asked her, his eyebrows raised. "Why a cab company?"
"You see a lot of different people." she said. "No doubt some will have abilities. When we find them, we'll help." she paused. "What do you think?"
Mohinder thought about it as he made a turn. "Count me in."

Mohinder looked at her in the mirror, waiting. "Yes?" he said at last.
"I live underneath a fairly large building, that I haven't put to a use yet." she said. "And I would like to put it to use."
"....Alright.." said Mohinder slowly. "What's this got to do with me?"
"That's the proposition." she said. "To reform, the company."
"Reform the company?!" he said, looking at her as though she was insane.
"Not exactly, though." she said. "Not with the purpose of 'bagging and tagging', but with the purpose of helping. Get them to safety. Make sure they stay under the radar."
"Are you serious?" he said, looking at the mirror again.
"I am indeed." she said.
Mohinder paused for a long time. "Before I say yes, or no, to your proposition, tell me one thing."
"Yes?"
"What's your name?" he asked.
She paused, her silvery eyes dancing as they went to the mirror. "Dorian." she said. "Dorian Gray."

Mohinder's eyes widened. "What?" he stuttered.
Her gaze left the window, and went to the rear view mirror, and she looked at the reflection of Mohinder's wide eyes. "It was a beautiful ceramony." she said.
Mohinder's throat was dry. She had known his father. For a moment, his mind flashed back to that day, and he remmebered, seeing her there, for a few breif moments. He swallowed hard. "You knew my father..." he said soflty.
His fare nodded. "He did more for me than you could ever know." she said, her eyes still on the mirror. "He taught me control. A long while ago, in India. Before his book was published."
Mohinder's eyes widened again. "That....that was you!" he said suddenly. All of those... appointments, several times a week that he was going to..."
She nodded to him, her eyes never leaving the mirror. "Yes." she said. She paused for a long time. "Now," she began. "About my proposition..."

Wondering what this spot is about? Wonder no longer!
What is Fear The Elephant Cab Co.?
In early 2009 SylarNight & Want2watcheroes decided to make fictional stories on Mohinder and his cabbing days. However the cab company is just a disguise, the real job he is doing is helping people with abilities.
Why 'Fear The Elephant'?
In an early episode of Heroes, Mohinder picks up an ornament of an elephant as a weapon. We think you should fear it.
