Ruin
Notes: This chapter is a little on the short side, it was more of a prompt for the story so it didn't need to be overly long.
Min - This chapter was prompted by your comment I had been planning to write it and then couldn't come up with a place for it. Now I do.
egyptian_b3ll - I'm glad you're enjoying the story and so long as I have one reader who likes it, I'll keep writing it =)

"Another." He seemed a little shaky on the bar stool and the bartender paused a moment to size him up, last thing he needed was for someone to pass out on his floor. "I said another."
"I heard you. My bar, my rules." But even as he said it he turned to get the man another drink. He'd seen his type before, girl problems. As a bartender you get used to handing out advice to people even when they don't ask for it, but you also learn when the advice would be pointless and this was one of those times. This man didn't want anyone's input he wanted to get shit faced. Setting the drink down in front of him he knew a lost cause when he saw one and went to tend to his other customers.
"This isn't exactly productive Parkman"
"Took you long enough to get here."
"Oddly enough, dealing with a drunk isn't at the top of my list tonight."
"I'm not drunk. Yet." He followed those words up by downing his drink and then looking around for the bartender.
"You said you had information on Sylar"
Matt let out a laugh that was anything but amused and flagged down the bartender for another shot, this time he didn't get attitude about it "He's sleeping with my kind of girlfriend. If you want to find him you follow her." He stared at his drink for a few seconds before taking a drunk of it and then looking back at Noah "How screwed up is that? He kidnaps her, assaults her, and she screws him. She made out with him in front of me. What kind of person does that?"
"You're talking about the nurse?"
"Yes" He twisted in his and had to brace a hand on the counter to brace himself before fixing his gaze on Noah. "I don't want to talk about her or him. You wanted information and now you have it. He might not show up at first night you watch her but he will he can't seem to stay away."
"What happens when she finds out you pointed us towards her."
"I'll deal with that when it happens. Azure might not understand at first but...she'd be better off without him around. She seems to think there's something more to him and we both know there's not. He's a killer and sooner or later he'll lose interest in here. This will work out in the end. I keep Azure safe you keep Claire safe."
He was staring at his drink again and didn't notice Noah had stood up until the older man placed a hand on his shoulder. "I learned a long time ago, they don't always see it the same way you do." Then he was walking away.
Matt sat there drink in hand and wondered if Azure would understand or if she would see this as unforgivable. He could argue his side to death with her. Sylar was dangerous and he was a killer, it didn't matter what she thought or felt. But Matt had learned long ago that woman were unreasonable about some things and they didn't enjoy the invasion of privacy that Noah was sure to bring.
