Summary:
Everything changed with Claire's dive off the Ferris Wheel, just not for the better. When life became unbearable, there was no choice but to rebel. Yet for all their power, they're still losing. With their last chance, Peter, the right man for the job, used Hiro's power to stop Claire from ever taking the dive. Pity that he got himself killed beforehand, leaving Sylar with the task. Pity that he died too...

Prologue
New York, 2006
I have been having these weird dreams lately...
Like wisps they float in front of my eyes.. for one moment I know everything...
I'm alone, alone with him...
Escape is futile, chains are holding me in place as he stalks closer...
The first touch is surprisingly gentle and in the background ... muttering...
Pain always follows, I'm... powerless to stop it...
All I can do is scream and plead...
However it doesn't change anything, they don't stop, only the voices are getting louder...
Crumpling I always end on the cold ground, trembling as the shackles fall away...
Then it's all gone, like smoke and mirrors...
I have been having these weird dreams lately...
... and they are scaring me... because I think they are real...
