Path 1: Mohinder

The List. It contained information on all those who had contributed their information to the Human Genome Project, information on all those with "special abilities," many of which lived right in Metropolitan New York, the current location of geneticist Dr. Mohinder Suresh.

He had been trying to track these unique individuals. It wasn't every day he found someone who could fly or travel through time and space...or saw a head off and take brains without even getting their hands dirty. He wanted to help them, make sure they understood what was going on so they didn't hurt someone around them or even themselves, as sometimes the case may be. His most recent days had been spent in his apartment making phone calls to various people to make sure they were safe, that they had not been hurt by the serial killer known as Sylar, and wondered if they wanted to discuss what was happening to them. Many of the calls had been met with angry replies and mad-sounding remarks, but one of them had been different. He had been grateful when one young woman had seemed very interested at the concept of discovering what was happening to her and why, so he had made an appointment to meet with her today.

Mohinder sat down in front of his laptop and scrolled down the list of names brightening the screen.

"Ivie Gesenetti," he read. "What could you possibly have in store for me?"

He shut off the computer, closed it, and slid it into the leather bag that was a constant at his side. He grabbed his jacket off a chair and pulled it onto his body, then wrapped one of his many brightly-colored scarves around his neck and stepped out of his apartment.

Mohinder checked the time on his watch as he walked down the hall and entered the elevator and pushed the button for the ground floor. He figured he had enough time to run one quick errand before getting to his appointment.

Disclaimer: I don't own Heroes, but I do own Ivie.
Author's Note: This is the first section of how Ivie and Mohinder meet. The whole thing is probably going to be a trilogy of trilogies. This is the first part, where they meet, the next will be how they interact, and the last how they get closer... I guess this is a sort of prequel to my Coming Home one-shot. The chapters are a little short, but some books have one-page chapters and are considered brilliant literature, so I'm guessing a fragmented story should be just fine.
