A Heroes/Tudors crossover

Introduction: What if the events if Heroes worldwide began to happen with more frequency, not in modern times, but in the Tudors.

Following an unexpected eclipse, individuals throughout England suddenly obtain strange and unnatural abilities that differentiates them from others. In the wake of such dramatic changes how will different people respond, as battle lines are redrawn and new alliances are made as these individuals desperately seek out others like themselves, whilst trying to avoid discovery. After all, witchcraft is a real fear during this period, and how else will people respond to such unique abilities other than crying 'magic'.

Pairings: Anne/Henry (fading), Henry/Jane, Anne/Charles (a possibility).

Set around episode 2.7 'Matter's of State', following the executions of More and Fisher, and Henry's meeting with Jane Seymour.

Disclaimer- I don't own either 'Heroes' or 'The Tudors'

A/N: Though slightly far fetched, bear with me. Individuals already set to have abilities include Anne Boleyn, Charles Brandon, Elizabeth Tudor and Mark Smeaton, any ideas regarding their abilities, or the possible abilities of other characters are welcome.

Prologue

The mysterious eclipse of late spring, 1535 plunged England into darkness for mere minutes, but unknown to many their lives would change irrevocably that day.

It also, however, encouraged speculation to become rife throughout the country as nobles and peasants alike speculated the reason behind the celestial phenomenon. Some stated that God may finally be expressing his anger at the King regarding both the split from Rome and Cromwell's violent, supposed 'reforms'. Though these postulations were made quietly and away from ears which would pass the information on to those in higher positions who may take offence.

Others, however, noted that the incident occurred only once the King's interest in Queen Anne had begun to wayne, possibly implying that the marriage between England's two current monarchs was a true holy union and in pulling away from such a vow was encouraging expressions of celestial discontent.

Some were of the firm belief that this was a sign that God was displeased with the recent martyrdoms of both Thomas Moore and Bishop Fisher in his name.

All that these different gossips could agree was that the event was unnatural.

Though they would never know how right they were…
