"Look, kid," Luke says, "I know what I'm doing, okay?" He's barely older, and Micah glares at him, but it's the truth. "I promise," he says, "we'll find your mom, and we'll save some people, but to do that, we gotta keep moving."

"Yeah, I know," Micah mutters. But he stops arguing, follows Luke to the car, and monitors every communication device in range.

Luke does mean it, when he says they'll find Micah's mom. That they'll save people. He really does. But that's not why he's doing this.

They're gonna kill so many normals on the way and Luke can barely wait.

(And if maybe it'll impress Sylar enough to let Luke come back - well. He keeps that to himself.)
