This isn't a series I'm familiar with, so to understand what's going on better in your story ( me being a bit dumb -probably due to age ) I need a little bit more information .

Quote:
"Mommy? What are you doing?" Micah Sanders stopped and crossed his arms. "You're supposed to take me to school, remember?"


Briefly- who is Micah ? Does he have special powers, and has his mum just found out- this is a key point in a story like yours, the build up to the moment where a normal parent learns about the abilities of their child and also the danger they are in.

Sylar - is he a bad guy - has he killed the woman on the floor? Does Micah think he is in similar danger from Sylar ?

Who is Issac Mendez - why is the painting so important to him?

I think you have a structure for a story made from key points, images, and if you can expand on these-so someone like me , who doesn't know the characters or the storyline can identify
with them, then I'd be interested in reading further.

I think it a bit unfair to ask if your writing is good or bad , for two reasons

1. As I said in the above I simply don't know enough about the story to know if I like it. My liking or disliking what anyone else writes isn't a reflection of their writing, it's personal choice
so I'd never use the terms good or bad .

2. When I read a piece of work, say like Slaughterhouse -Five , or Tom Wolf's short stories or Heart Of Darkness I sometimes want to give up writing , but I guess by overcoming that feeling and trying to write better is the way you learn.

It's Heroes... in canon Sylar is a bad guy but in the story he's not...

I know it's Heroes, I'm not winding you up here , :) I have seen parts of it.

Tell me a bit about what's happened to Micah to make Jessica want to take him out of school that morning and maybe go into hiding with him.

If you just describe this in a few sentences I'll show you why I'm asking the question.
