Fans of the Villains saga will also like the ending of this chapter. Please Review, or I WILL NOT Continue. It will be your lost, as this story is soooo epic! )

Chapter 1: Connections

There are nearly seven billion people on this planet. Each one unique. Different. What are the chances of that? And why? Is it simply biology, physiology that determines this diversity? A collections of thoughts, memories, experiences that carve out our own special place? Or is it something more than this? Perhaps there's a master plan that drives the randomness of creation. Something unknowable that dwells in the soul, and presents each one of us with a unique set of challenges that will help us discover who we really are.

Peter Petrelli once a hospice nurse who absorbed the abilities of others, was now a Paramedic using his ability to save lives. He was now working over-time, no longer hunted by the Government. He'd cut off connections with his family, and had done a good job till he teamed up with Noah Bennet to capture a speedster. Of course he'd only went after to Speedster to obtain his ability, one that was more useful then Mohinder's when it came to saving lives. He was currently sitting in his apartment looking at the news, it was about..the incredible Paramedic Peter Petrelli. "Great the media's going after the Petrelli family again, Nathan's gonna kill me." He picked up his remote, and flipped the TV off.

New York City, New York: Nathan's Office

"Nathan" was sitting down in his office. He'd resumed his work as a Senator in New York City. He'd briefly went off the radar, when he took Claire to Mexico. Of course Sylar had replaced him, that was the one good thing that maniac ever dad. Thanks to Sylar, Nathan's sneak attack on him had been a success. He was currently signing some papers, a man approaching him. "Okay look Senator Petrelli, I'm tired of you staring at your watch. You need to get those papers signed, chop chop! "Nathan" sighed, and covered up his watch with his sleeve. With that he resumed the humdrum activity of signing papers.

Claire's college

Claire was sitting in her new dorm room. She was bored yet content. The only thing which really interested her and could stimulate her body was the thrill of saving the world, yet she was happy not to be. Claire just wanted to be normal. She just wanted to go back to the girl who used to go out to parties and was on the cheerleading squad. Back then the biggest decision she had to make was what lip gloss to wear. Things had become complicated.

Now Claire was going off to College to try and be normal because it was what her father had asked her to do. Her father wanted her to stay out of it all and just be a normal girl, yet how could she be normal when she couldn't die?

Something else Claire had started to notice was that she really wasn't growing any older. However this was one fact about herself which she wasn't going to let others find out about. She was already a freak.

A few hours earlier her mother had driven her down here and she had met her new roommate Annie and had got settled in. Annie was nice and she was glad that she hadn't got someone mean as a roommate. Although Claire could tell that Annie wasn't thrilled with the way she had got into College.

Sitting there Claire decided to give her Uncle a ring. It had been awhile since she had heard from Peter. Picking up her cell phone she dialed his number before waiting for him to pick up.

…………….

Peter remained in his room wondering if his mother or better his brother would call him. His brother was determined to keep him from the media, but Peter didn't care. He'd went from a "Suicidal manic" to The Big Apple's very own "Good Samaritan". That's when his phone began buzzing, he reluctantly reached over for his cellular communication. Great..another scolding, and they wonder why I broke off connection with them. However as he turned over his phone and saw the caller ID, his attitude changed completely. It wasn't Nathan, or his mother. It was his niece, he eagerly opened up the phone, "Hey Claire! Nice to talk to you, Noah told me you started College how's it going?

Claire smiled when she heard Peter's voice on the other end of the phone. She had missed talking to him. At home it had been hard. Her father wasn't a huge fan of some of the things which Peter had been involved in and her mother was against most of the super hero stuff, well at least when it came to her. There was also the issue of Peter being a part of her 'real' family which also made it hard to just call him up and talk while she was at home.

"Hey... I didn't know you were talking to Dad" Claire said. She was a little confused as to why the two of them would be talking but she didn't mind it. "Oh College is great. Just taking five minutes away from the party scene" Claire said sarcastically. "Peter it is so boring and I miss everyone. Honestly I know that I want to be normal, but it's like I don't know how to be normal when my body is still craving the adrenaline of everything" She said.

Claire knew that if anyone was going to understand her it would be Peter. He went through it too. His body craved saving the world just like hers seemed to crave the danger of it. It wasn't like she could get hurt.

Peter was surprised at what Claire had said next. He was also a bit worried, having flash backs to when they were running from Flint and Knox. He didn't know Noah was hiding their conversation's from her, and second Claire seemed to be one step closer to becoming that woman who would kill him four years later. "Well you know your dad, he's really secrete even when there's no reason to keep secretes. As for a "Normal" life..I won't lie I've been using my abilities to save people. I mean..at least the media doesn't think I'm a suicidal manic, and hey I even managed to get your dad to a hospital. You know after he got stabbed. Anyway Claire I don't want to tell you your future, but just know it's my job to save people. You might attract a little attention, going out saving lives."

Claire was shocked when Peter mentioned her father getting stabbed. She hadn't been told about this and was furious. How could her father get injured and then not tell her? It wasn't even a matter of it being something to do with powers anymore but she was being left out of things that were happening to her family.

"He got what? You mean he got stabbed and didn't tell me" Claire said in a frustrated tone. It wasn't directed at Peter but was directed at her father. Claire's relationship with her father had been strained over the past two years or so since she had found out about her ability and it was things like this which only increased it. "There is no way I am laying low and focusing on my future when my father is still running around crazy and getting himself hurt" Claire said as she stood up and walked over to the door, still on the phone.

"Peter I think I am going to have to talk to you later and maybe call my father and have a more personal conversation with him about the whole, being normal thing" Claire said to Peter before saying goodbye and hanging up the cell phone. This wasn't a conversation she wanted to have indoors and decided to go for a walk first to clear her head. Walking out of her dorm she headed outside to the footpath to go for a short walk.

…………….Peter's Apartment…………

Peter gripped the phone as Claire spoke about how upset she was with her father, and instantly he went into a rush, forgetting the inhuman speed he possessed. He quickly slowed down "Wait Claire, before you say something you regret..your father just got attacked today. It was by some knife wielding.. Beeeeeeep.. That was the noise Peter heard, Claire had hung up. "

…………….Outside Claire's college…………….

A young man around 5'9", with jet black hair, and crystal blue eyes was seen leaning against a wall. The teenager was wearing dark clothed colors, and also was seen with gloves on. Normally he wasn't a fan of the light but he welcomed the warmth of the sun. The shadows were a cold and lonely place to be for a while especially when he was alone. He had kept hidden in the shadows for the duration of the hunt, helping the few evolved humans he found, escape the agents. Now though he was happy to be out. It was refreshing.

How is it that none in this whole school has a single ability? He thought to himself. Almost as soon as he finished the thought though, he could sense another presence. It was another evolved human. A girl. As she walked by he didn't move. He didn't flinch. He didn't even open his eyes. He simply muttered a single statement. "It's nice to be free isn't it?"
