'''Micah Sanders''' is the son of [[Niki Sanders]] and [[D.L. Hawkins]]. Micah is gifted with extraordinary intelligence, and cares very much for his deceased parents. Having a strong moral compass (though he has occasionally made [[Micah's money|less-than-moral choices]]), Micah believes there is a clear division between right and wrong. To this end, Micah (under the alias of '''REBEL'''), coupled with his own sense of morality and his [[ability]], has set about contacting, warning, advising and leading [[evolved human]] fugitives all over the world. With the help of [[Leona Mills]], he created an underground railroad for evolved human fugitives for them to escape being hunted down and captured by the [[Department of Homeland Security]]. The underground railroad is known as "[[Ellen]]", and is operated by [[LAWR]] and at least one other team under his leadership. He began it because of the capture of his family. After the [[revelation of evolved humans]], Micah became known as Hero Truther, a mysterious figure spreading the truth about evos. He was eventually captured by [[Renautas]] agents and used to spread disinformation before being rescued by [[Carlos Gutierrez]] at which point he spread the truth about the [[Odessa Unity Summit|June 13th bombing]] and set out to help stop [[the H.E.L.E.]] He is an [[evolved human]] with the ability to [[Technopathy|control and manipulate technology]].
'''Micah Sanders''' is the son of [[Niki Sanders]] and [[D.L. Hawkins]]. Micah is exceptionally intelligent and even built a new logic board for his computer. This knowledge of technology may have led to or been caused by his [[technopathy]].

==Character History==
===[[Genesis]]===
===[[Season One]]===
{{season summary|season=One}}
Micah is repairing [[Micah's computer|his computer]] when [[Niki|his mother]] comes in, agitated, and chastises him for scaring her. He tells her he's been getting ready for school. Someone knocks on the door and his mother tells him to get his things and meet her at the back door. They escape just as [[Linderman's thugs]] break into the house.
Micah repairs [[Micah's computer|his computer]] when [[Niki Sanders|his mother]] tells him to get his things and to leave with her. They go to his [[Micah's private school|school]] so his mother can talk to his [[Micah's principal|principal]]. When they leave, Niki drops him off at [[Tina]]'s house where Micah waits a long time for her return. When Niki finally picks him up, she takes him home before taking him to the [[desert]] and eventually to [[Paulette Hawkins|his grandmother's]] [[Paulette's home|house]]. He tells his mother he believes [[D.L.|his father]] is innocent. Back at Tina's he reveals to Niki that he knows how she makes a living, and prefers it over what she is about to do.
[[image:Power heredity.jpg|thumb|left|Micah's family is reunited.]]
When the two return home, D.L. arrives and fights with [[Jessica]], taking Micah after he knocks her out. Driving away, the two meet [[Hiro]] and [[Ando]] while saving a [[Woman in Car Crash|woman]]. That night, Micah [[Technopathy|uses]] a broken payphone to call his mother, instead getting [[Jessica]], until D.L. stops him. Micah persists that they should go back for Niki, but D.L. initially refuses until Micah tells him about Jessica. However, Jessica is already present and shots at D.L. who [[Phasing|phases]] to survive. After Jessica [[Enhanced strength|hurts]] Micah, Niki regains control and turns herself in to the police.


Micah then begins living with his father. Soon, he visits Niki in [[Niki's jail|jail]] and later [[Moral ambiguity|takes]] money from an ATM for his father. Niki is soon released and the family is finally reunited.
At [[Micah's private school|school]], Micah is waiting outside reading ''[[9th Wonders!]]'' while his mother speaks to the [[Micah's principal|principal]]. When they prepare to leave, she yells at her reflection in a fish tank. She drops him off at [[Tina]]'s house and leaves.


However, soon [[Candice|a woman]] [[Illusion|poses]] as his mother introducing him to [[Linderman]], who wants Micah's help. Micah leaves with Linderman. He soon realizes that someone is impersonating his mother, and tries to escape. However, Candice uses her power to keep him confined. The next day, she uses him to cause [[Nathan Petrelli]] to win in the election. Micah complies and then is taken back to the room by Candice. A day later, Niki comes to his rescue and the two go find D.L. who is hurt near [[Mohinder]] and [[Molly]]. He uses his ability to activate a broken elevator allowing them to escape to [[Kirby Plaza]] where they witness the showdown, and finally the [[The explosion|explosion]]. Two days later he chats with [[Hana]] about D.L.'s condition.
Some time later, Micah calls his mother and leaves a message asking her when she's coming to get him.


===[[Don't Look Back]]===
===[[Season Two]]===
{{season summary|season=Two}}
Niki calls Micah and tells him she's on the way. Four hours later, when she hasn't arrived, he calls her again. She finally arrives and picks him up. She tells him they're going to go on vacation and drives him back to the house. She tells him to pack while she takes care of something in the garage. They drive out into the [[desert]] in a [[Cadillac|different car]].
[[image:Powers monica piano 3.jpg|thumb|right|Micah helps [[Monica]] master her [[Adoptive muscle memory|new ability]].]]
[[Niki]] and [[Micah]] leave [[Las Vegas]], where Niki brings Micah to live in [[New Orleans]]. Niki tells him not to use his powers, and that while she has to leave one more time, when she gets back, they'll be together. Niki and Micah approach [[The Dawsons' home|a house]] and meet [[Nana]]. Micah has some troubles with his cousin [[Damon]], who wants to watch a wresting match on pay-per-view. Micah uses [[technopathy|his ability]] to gain access to pay-per-view, so Damon can watch the wrestling. [[Monica]] enters, and begins to get angry, but Damon tells her that Micah is a genius and rigged the cable. Micah apologizes, and Monica reminds him that [[Niki|his mother]] asked her to look after him.


Later, Micah finds that Monica plays the piano very fast, though she only saw Micah playing the same notes for a few minutes. Micah tells her he thinks he knows what happened with the piano. He goes to the television and puts his hand on it, and it [[technopathy|turns on and off]], explaining how he rigged the pay-per-view. He tells her he thinks it runs in the family, since [[D.L.]] could [[phasing|walk through walls]], and his [[Niki|mother]] is also special. He shows her a ''[[9th Wonders!]]'', and points out [[St. Joan]], the [[muscle mimicry|muscle mimic]] who can do whatever she sees. Micah tells her that maybe they should test it out, and after duplicating double-dutch and kung-fu, the two keep their abilities a secret.
===[[One Giant Leap]]===
[[image:Uh oh.jpg|thumb|left|Micah loses [[Niki Sanders|his mother]].]]
Micah wakes up in the car the next morning. His mom tells him they are going to [[Paulette Hawkins|his grandmother's]] [[Paulette's home|house]]. When he overhears Niki criticizing his [[D.L.|father]], he asks why she doesn't believe he's innocent, and says the police will never find his father. Just as Niki asks him what he means, she is pulled over by a [[Linderman's cop|cop]], who says he's there to bring them to [[Mr. Linderman]].
Micah sees his mother, [[Niki]], for the first time since coming to [[New Orleans]]. Niki explains that she has a [[virus]], but that is it not contagious and that [[Mohinder|Doctor Suresh]] is doing everything he can to find a cure for her. Micah decides to give her something that will give her hope, his deceased father [[D.L.]]'s medal, and goes to find his backpack only to find it is gone. Damon explains to Micah that it was stolen. Micah is approached late at night by Monica who says she will get the backpack. Monica and Micah sneak out to the house where Micah's backpack is, then Monica breaks in and finds the backpack. However, the house is broken into and they find Monica, throwing her into the back of a van. Scared, Micah runs, leaving her there with them. Micah tells [[Niki]] that [[Monica]] has been captured by a street gang. They leave to go help her. They follow a GPS signal emitted by Monica's cell phone to find her location at a burning warehouse. Niki helps Monica escape with Micah's backpack, but Micah and Monica watch the building explode with Niki still inside.


===[[Collision]]===
===[[Season Three]]===
{{season summary|season=Three}}
Micah waits outside while his mom talks to [[Miss Sakamoto]]. Back at [[Tina]]'s, Micah reveals that he knows exactly how Niki makes her living, and that he thinks it's much safer than what she's about to do.
[[Tracy Strauss]] goes to [[New Orleans]] to search for [[Niki Sanders]]. She finds Niki's funeral, and when she tries to leave she is approached by Micah. Micah mistakes her for his mother but quickly realizes that she is not. He takes her to his room and Tracy explains that she does not know why she and Niki look so much alike. Micah asks her if she is "special" and Tracy refuses to answer. Micah reveals [[Enhanced strength|his mother's power]] and [[Technopathy|his own]], before getting Tracy the information he needs.


Two months later, he communicates with [[Monica]], who has become St. Joan, a vigilante. Micah helps her evade the police and overhears her capture at the hands of [[Danko's team|government agents]]. Micah returns home and finds that the entire Dawson family has been captured. He tracks them to a plane and then finds the crash site. He comes across [[Sparrow Redhouse]], who he connects with. He and Sparrow are attacked by some government agents and narrowly escape capture. At a bus stop, Sparrow promises to help Micah. After finding a base of operations, Micah communicates with Sparrow and [[West]] and gets them to [[fly]] to [[London]], to save a family that is under attack. They return with [[Abigail]], and the [[Rebel]] team is formed. Micah leads a breakout from the [[Building 26]] compound, overseeing his team as they bust out [[Nana]] and [[Damon]]. Before he can join them, he is captured by [[Thompson Jr.]], who demands his help in locating [[Sabine Hazel]]. Micah tricks him and alerts his team, who rescue him.

[[Niki]] arrives back from the casino to find it swarming with police. [[Tina]] tells her that [[D.L.]] has been spotted in the area and that they assume he's coming for Niki and [[Micah]].
Micah then frees Tracy from Building 26 and attempts to escape [[Washington]] with her. When [[Danko]]'s men catch up with them, Micah learns that Tracy is nothing like Niki. Tracy makes up for hurting Micah, [[Freezing|giving her life]] to ensure his safety. The Rebel team heads to [[India]] to get [[Molly Walker]]. Micah begs Molly for her help and they infiltrate a train loaded with prisoners. Micah and Abigail are captured and then released following a train crash. After learning where Monica is, Micah leads his team to an [[abandoned hospital]] but is sidetracked before he can reunite with Monica. He comes face-to-face with [[Sylar]], who he manages to convince to help him. Sylar [[Shape shifting|fools]] Danko and Micah sleeps at his apartment. When he sees that Sylar is having identity problems, he offers some help but is thrown out. Later, Micah meets with [[Angela Petrelli]] and [[Leona Mills]].

He calls [[Niki]], but quickly realizes he's speaking to [[Jessica]], who tells him his mom won't be back until she has him back. He tells her where they are just as his dad finds him.

"''I didn't know it was sick.''"

D.L. grabs Micah and [[the money]] and they run off into the woods. D.L. leaves his bloodied jacket on a branch, and tells Micah to backtrack through his steps "like the Indians" to throw off pursuers.


Micah tells his father that it couldn't have been the police. They find a locked [[Cabin in Utah|cabin]], and D.L. phases inside to open the lock. As Micah continues to insist that it's Jessica, not Niki, who is responsible, D.L. blacks out from his wound. Micah cries out for help.


"''You can save us all!''"
Following Micah's cries for help, Jessica arrives at the cabin, pretending to be Niki, but D.L. is ready for her. They struggle, and when Micah tries to stop them, Jessica [[enhanced strength|violently tosses him aside]]. Seeing Micah hurt, Niki is able to regain control, and apologizes to Micah and D.L.


: - Micah (to Sylar) (''[[I Am Sylar]]'')
As they are walking, Micah slips and falls, and as D.L. stops to help him, Niki leaves the money and slips off. Micah and his father watch helplessly as Niki turns herself in to a [[Utah highway patrolman]] for murder.

===[[Godsend]]===
Micah, now living with [[D.L.|his father]], has gotten into a fight with [[Frank|some peers]] who called Niki a "psycho killer". Later, Micah visits his mom in [[Niki's jail|jail]]. When he appears upset, Niki frantically asks to give him a hug.

===[[The Fix]]===
Before leaving for school, Micah complains to [[D.L. Hawkins|his father]] that he doesn't manage the house as well as [[Niki Sanders|his mother]] did. Knowing that they're short on money, Micah uses his [[technopathy|power]] to [[moral ambiguity|extract cash]] from an ATM. He returns home to his [[family|worried father]], who sits him down and talks to him about how they're going to have to work together, since Niki won't be able to return home any time soon. Micah apologizes and tells him that he can try harder, then dumps [[Micah's money|a huge amount of cash]] from his backpack and asks if it will help, revealing that like his parents, he, too, has a [[secret]].

===[[Distractions]]===
Micah asks [[Niki]] if she'll play a game with him even though it's not their usual game night. Unbeknownst to Micah, [[Jessica]] is actually in control, and she agrees to play.

===[[Graphic Novel:Bully]]===
Micah is in computer class at his [[Micah's public school|school]] when a file opens up showing Micah's mother in jail. Micah [[Technopathy|asks]] the computer who sent the file and then goes finds the boy. Micah confronts the boy, named [[Frank]]. Frank punches him, Micah kicks Frank, and then Frank and [[Frank's friend|his friend]] start chasing Micah. He finds refuge in a [[junkyard|dump]] of old casino signs, and uses his power to light them up, scaring Frank away.

===[[Episode:Run!|Run!]]===
While getting ready for school, Micah asks his [[Sanders|parents]] when they will talk about their [[Powers|special secrets]]. Later, when [[Jessica]] arrives home from [[Las Vegas]], she asks Micah if she has another package, and he tells her it's in her bedroom.

===[[Parasite]]===
Micah and [[Jessica]] (still masquerading as [[Niki]]) play a video game. Micah asks Jessica how she became so skilled at the game. Jessica says that she has nothing else to do while Micah is at [[Micah's public school|school]]. Micah then stops so that he can go catch the bus, still completely oblivious to the façade.

At [[The Sanderses' home]] Micah talks with [[Candice]], who is using her power of [[illusion]] to look like [[Niki Sanders|his mother]]. Candice tells him she picked him up early from school because today is a special day. She is taking him to meet [[Linderman|a man]] who wants to see him because "he knows you do the most amazing things." Micah wonders out loud whether that means that he doesn't have to pretend about hiding [[Technopathy|his ability]] like [[D.L.|his dad]] said. Linderman himself meets Micah outside of his limousine and asks him, "How would you like to save the world today?" Micah drives off with Linderman leaving Candice behind.

===[[The Hard Part]]===
Micah is playing video games in an apartment room in [[New York]]. When Niki comes into the room, he asks to go back home to [[Las Vegas]], but she angrily tells him that they have to stay in New York until he has taken care of [[Linderman|Mr. Linderman’s]] business.

Micah realizes that someone is impersonating his mother and tries to escape while she’s taking a shower, using his [[Technopathy|power]] to open the electronic door lock. Strangely, every path he takes seems to lead back to the apartment. Eventually, [[Candice]] comes out of the shower and tells him that he can’t escape because [[Illusion|she can make him see anything she wants]], and she will make him see things that will mess him up for life if he doesn’t cooperate.

===[[Landslide]]===

Micah notes that [[Candice]] eats much like a very large cousin of his, though Candice sarcastically states that so is she. When she gives Micah some rare comic books to ease his homesickness, Micah wonders why Candice is working for [[Linderman]] and keeping him here when she's so kind. Candice justifies her actions by stating that Linderman will relieve the world of its cruelty. Right on cue, Linderman arrives. Giving Micah his full attention and respect, Linderman requests that Micah uses his [[power|technopathy]] to aid him, so that [[Niki]], [[D.L.]] and himself will have enough money to support themselves for the rest of their lives, and will save many lives in the process. Micah agrees.

Micah and [[Candice]], who is [[illusion|masquerading]] as Micah's mother in the form of a portly woman named Ms. Baker, enter a polling center. Micah briefly notes that Candice must bend light somehow before they get to work. At a voting booth, Candice instructs Micah to make sure that [[Nathan Petrelli]] wins the election by manipulating the electronic voting machines. Micah does so, and is able to change all the votes in all the machines from their one spot as well, due to their being network. The process leaves Micah drained.

As Nathan makes his victory speech, Micah despondently looks out the window of the room he is being kept in, Candice close by.

===[[How to Stop an Exploding Man]]===

Inside the room at the top of the Linderman building, [[Niki]] finds [[Candice]] as an [[illusion]] of [[Jessica]], as well as an illusion of Micah, dead. After a brief fight sequence, the illusion of Micah vanishes, and from another room, the real Micah calls out to his mother. He is locked inside, but Niki rips the door off. He asks Niki if it's really her, to reassure himself.

Outside of the room, Niki and Micah find [[Mohinder]] and [[Molly]] near [[D.L. Hawkins|his dad]], and Micah runs straight to him to make sure he's alright. As Linderman's security guards draw closer, Micah [[technopathy|activates the broken elevator]], impressing Molly, and allowing them to escape.

In the [[Kirby Plaza]], Micah watches with his family the showdown between [[Peter]] and [[Sylar]]. After Niki joins in and frees [[Peter]] from [[Sylar]]'s [[telekinetic]] grip, Micah calls out to her, "Dad needs you!" He soon after watches in both wonder and bemusement as [[Nathan Petrelli]] arrives and [[flight|flies]] Peter into the stratosphere, where he safely [[the explosion|detonates]].

===[[Graphic Novel:The Death of Hana Gitelman, Part 2]]===
Two days later, [[Niki]] and [[Micah]] return home after visiting [[D.L.]], who is recovering from his injuries in a [[Las Vegas]] [[hospital]]. Niki assures Micah that the doctors at the hospital will take good care of his father, but Micah is still upset and worried. In his room, he cries while chatting on-line with [[Hana]], telling her that he wouldn't know what to do if D.L. died, and asking her how she felt when [[Zahava Gitelman|her mother]] died. He also thanks her for chatting with him, and asks her for her name.

==[[Technopathy|Powers]]==
Micah has the [[ability]] to [[Technopathy|manipulate electronic and/or mechanical items]]. He can manipulate technology whether broken or working. Though his ability to build new technology is unknown, he did say he had created a new motherboard for his computer that he received from his grandfather, [[Hal Sanders]].

==Notes==
==Notes==
* In the unaired pilot, Micah is seen talking on the phone with the ticket sales office of a train station about a trip taking "a couple of hours".

Later, Micah has run off, along with $300 from Tina's purse. (''[[In His Own Image]]'')

Micah Sanders is the son of Niki Sanders and D.L. Hawkins. Micah is gifted with extraordinary intelligence, and cares very much for his deceased parents. Having a strong moral compass (though he has occasionally made less-than-moral choices), Micah believes there is a clear division between right and wrong. To this end, Micah (under the alias of REBEL), coupled with his own sense of morality and his ability, has set about contacting, warning, advising and leading evolved human fugitives all over the world. With the help of Leona Mills, he created an underground railroad for evolved human fugitives for them to escape being hunted down and captured by the Department of Homeland Security. The underground railroad is known as "Ellen", and is operated by LAWR and at least one other team under his leadership. He began it because of the capture of his family. After the revelation of evolved humans, Micah became known as Hero Truther, a mysterious figure spreading the truth about evos. He was eventually captured by Renautas agents and used to spread disinformation before being rescued by Carlos Gutierrez at which point he spread the truth about the June 13th bombing and set out to help stop the H.E.L.E. He is an evolved human with the ability to control and manipulate technology.

Character History

Season One

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Micah Sanders: Season One History.

Micah repairs his computer when his mother tells him to get his things and to leave with her. They go to his school so his mother can talk to his principal. When they leave, Niki drops him off at Tina's house where Micah waits a long time for her return. When Niki finally picks him up, she takes him home before taking him to the desert and eventually to his grandmother's house. He tells his mother he believes his father is innocent. Back at Tina's he reveals to Niki that he knows how she makes a living, and prefers it over what she is about to do.

Micah's family is reunited.

When the two return home, D.L. arrives and fights with Jessica, taking Micah after he knocks her out. Driving away, the two meet Hiro and Ando while saving a woman. That night, Micah uses a broken payphone to call his mother, instead getting Jessica, until D.L. stops him. Micah persists that they should go back for Niki, but D.L. initially refuses until Micah tells him about Jessica. However, Jessica is already present and shots at D.L. who phases to survive. After Jessica hurts Micah, Niki regains control and turns herself in to the police.

Micah then begins living with his father. Soon, he visits Niki in jail and later takes money from an ATM for his father. Niki is soon released and the family is finally reunited.

However, soon a woman poses as his mother introducing him to Linderman, who wants Micah's help. Micah leaves with Linderman. He soon realizes that someone is impersonating his mother, and tries to escape. However, Candice uses her power to keep him confined. The next day, she uses him to cause Nathan Petrelli to win in the election. Micah complies and then is taken back to the room by Candice. A day later, Niki comes to his rescue and the two go find D.L. who is hurt near Mohinder and Molly. He uses his ability to activate a broken elevator allowing them to escape to Kirby Plaza where they witness the showdown, and finally the explosion. Two days later he chats with Hana about D.L.'s condition.

Season Two

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Micah Sanders: Season Two History.

Micah helps Monica master her new ability.

Niki and Micah leave Las Vegas, where Niki brings Micah to live in New Orleans. Niki tells him not to use his powers, and that while she has to leave one more time, when she gets back, they'll be together. Niki and Micah approach a house and meet Nana. Micah has some troubles with his cousin Damon, who wants to watch a wresting match on pay-per-view. Micah uses his ability to gain access to pay-per-view, so Damon can watch the wrestling. Monica enters, and begins to get angry, but Damon tells her that Micah is a genius and rigged the cable. Micah apologizes, and Monica reminds him that his mother asked her to look after him.

Later, Micah finds that Monica plays the piano very fast, though she only saw Micah playing the same notes for a few minutes. Micah tells her he thinks he knows what happened with the piano. He goes to the television and puts his hand on it, and it turns on and off, explaining how he rigged the pay-per-view. He tells her he thinks it runs in the family, since D.L. could walk through walls, and his mother is also special. He shows her a 9th Wonders!, and points out St. Joan, the muscle mimic who can do whatever she sees. Micah tells her that maybe they should test it out, and after duplicating double-dutch and kung-fu, the two keep their abilities a secret.

Micah loses his mother.

Micah sees his mother, Niki, for the first time since coming to New Orleans. Niki explains that she has a virus, but that is it not contagious and that Doctor Suresh is doing everything he can to find a cure for her. Micah decides to give her something that will give her hope, his deceased father D.L.'s medal, and goes to find his backpack only to find it is gone. Damon explains to Micah that it was stolen. Micah is approached late at night by Monica who says she will get the backpack. Monica and Micah sneak out to the house where Micah's backpack is, then Monica breaks in and finds the backpack. However, the house is broken into and they find Monica, throwing her into the back of a van. Scared, Micah runs, leaving her there with them. Micah tells Niki that Monica has been captured by a street gang. They leave to go help her. They follow a GPS signal emitted by Monica's cell phone to find her location at a burning warehouse. Niki helps Monica escape with Micah's backpack, but Micah and Monica watch the building explode with Niki still inside.

Season Three

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Micah Sanders: Season Three History.

Tracy Strauss goes to New Orleans to search for Niki Sanders. She finds Niki's funeral, and when she tries to leave she is approached by Micah. Micah mistakes her for his mother but quickly realizes that she is not. He takes her to his room and Tracy explains that she does not know why she and Niki look so much alike. Micah asks her if she is "special" and Tracy refuses to answer. Micah reveals his mother's power and his own, before getting Tracy the information he needs.

Two months later, he communicates with Monica, who has become St. Joan, a vigilante. Micah helps her evade the police and overhears her capture at the hands of government agents. Micah returns home and finds that the entire Dawson family has been captured. He tracks them to a plane and then finds the crash site. He comes across Sparrow Redhouse, who he connects with. He and Sparrow are attacked by some government agents and narrowly escape capture. At a bus stop, Sparrow promises to help Micah. After finding a base of operations, Micah communicates with Sparrow and West and gets them to fly to London, to save a family that is under attack. They return with Abigail, and the Rebel team is formed. Micah leads a breakout from the Building 26 compound, overseeing his team as they bust out Nana and Damon. Before he can join them, he is captured by Thompson Jr., who demands his help in locating Sabine Hazel. Micah tricks him and alerts his team, who rescue him.

Micah obeys Tracy's commands and makes it rain.

Micah then frees Tracy from Building 26 and attempts to escape Washington with her. When Danko's men catch up with them, Micah learns that Tracy is nothing like Niki. Tracy makes up for hurting Micah, giving her life to ensure his safety. The Rebel team heads to India to get Molly Walker. Micah begs Molly for her help and they infiltrate a train loaded with prisoners. Micah and Abigail are captured and then released following a train crash. After learning where Monica is, Micah leads his team to an abandoned hospital but is sidetracked before he can reunite with Monica. He comes face-to-face with Sylar, who he manages to convince to help him. Sylar fools Danko and Micah sleeps at his apartment. When he sees that Sylar is having identity problems, he offers some help but is thrown out. Later, Micah meets with Angela Petrelli and Leona Mills. He reunites Leona with Rachel and then leaves to an unspecified location.
