Why this must be read: I'l admit; the "Five Things ..." fanfic meme is one of my favorites. In this particular version,carmens_quill details five lives that Elle never led; some of them, we see bits of in canon, and some of them are entirely new and foreign (but somehow also believable, at the same time). For me, Elle was a character that deserved a better send-off, and this is what I love about "Five Things": that it gives Elle the complexity and possibilities that her character deserved. There are many kinds of possible endings for Elle, ranging from near-canon to entirely AU, and each episode is somehow poignant in a different way.
It’s not supposed to be here, in her father’s chair, with the psychopath she created, her powers on the fritz thanks to Sylar’s ingenuity with a bucket of water.
He’s looking at her in the way she’s seen him do with everyone else, every single one of his kills. She isn’t what he wants, it’s only the power inside. As if the pain wasn’t enough, now she’s been reduced to one final experiment. Mustering everything she’s got left, she lets out one final charge before being slammed back against the chair, and her thoughts scatter. Her life is supposed to be flashing before her eyes, and yet there’s nothing she can grasp onto.
