So I figured I would try my hand at this Heroes fan fic on my own. I have a few fan tics stocked up that I've wrote by myself but this one is the first one I have completed and felt like I could continue writing. This story will take place throughout season 4 and if a lot of people like this one I'll probably make a sequel. I might make a sequel anyway but I'm in the middle of school too. The only reason this one got done so fast was because I followed the season. anyways hope everyone likes it if not oh well I like it. lol :) Thanks for reading!

Peter sat listening to the police scanner as a knock came to his door. He made his way to answer it.

"Hello Peter," Noah Bennett's tall slender frame stood in the doorway staring at him, "can we talk for a minute?"

"Can I get you something to drink?" Peter said letting the man in and making his way to the kitchen. The bare apartment showing that he was never home much other than to sleep, shower, and post the newspapers clippings on the wall of his jobs.

"Yeah thanks, love what you've done with the place." Noah said looking around at the emptiness.

"Thank you, so I have water or mustard." Peter said as he peered into the refrigerator that was as empty as his home.

Noah chuckled, "Water's good." Peter walked back in throwing him the water bottle and opening one for himself. "So what have you been up too?" Noah asked before taking a sip of his water.

"Got my old job back, Paramedic."

"Must be keeping you busy, your mother says she hasn't seen you in weeks." Noah said beginning to admire the wall of newspaper clippings. "Wow. This is amazing, is this all you?"

He turns to look at Peter.

"Mhmm."

"You using powers?"

"Well my line of work it helps to be strong, agile." He walks over to turn off the police scanner and turns his attention back to Noah. "Thank you, Dr. Suresh, it's a pretty convenient power."

"Good for you."

"I figure one of us has gotta make up for all we've done." Peter said as he sat down on his bed.

"Meaning?"

"You, me, my family, The Company, come on. We haven't exactly been model citizens, Noah." He said taking another sip of his water.

"That's a pretty heavy burden for one guy."

"You said you wanted to talk."

"Yeah." Noah settled a bit preparing himself for what he was about to ask before a knock came at the door. Peter's brows furrowed as he set down his water and made his way to the door to find an all to familiar figure standing at his door. She had shoulder length curly brown hair and dressed in clothes that resembled that of a witch or a gypsy. "Laney?" Peter said causing her to shiver a bit and look at him with her piercing green eyes that seemed innocent but dark all at the same time.

"Hi, Pete." She smiled a nervous smile at him as she ran her hand through her hair as he grabbed her hand and pulled her in closing the door behind her. "The hospital gave me the address." She stared at Noah for a while hiding her face a bit, "I'm sorry, I can leave."

"No, no, it's fine." Peter said walking her further into the empty apartment till he had her sitting on his bed. "Me and Noah, were just catching up is all. Noah, this is one of my old friends, Laney Madden."

She smiled at him and nodded as she continued to try to hide her face but noticing him nod in return. "Peter, I need to talk to you, about something." She said biting her lip not sure how she was going to say this.

"Noah kinda beat you to the punch, can you just hold that thought till after-."

"No it can't wait. I have something to show you." She said her eyes once again meeting his with a dead serious look in them as if it was a life or death situation.

"Alright, alright. What is it?"

Laney stood shaking her hands in the air as if trying to dry them or speak with them, then stood still in the center of his bedroom doorway her back to Noah, her tense frame became relaxed all at once as everything in the apartment began to float.

"What the?" Noah and Peter both said simultaneously as they floated through the air as if in space.

Laney tensed back up again as everything fell to the floor, gasping as both the men slammed into the floor. She rushed over to help Peter up. "Sorry, I have yet to figure this thing out. I don't know what's wrong with me."

"Nothing's wrong with you, Laney. Seems a bunch of people have these gifts and abilities, in the mean time let's get back to discussion at hand." Noah said as he stood dusting himself off and staring at the two. Peter nodded in agreement as he sat back on his now disheveled bed and Laney next to him.

"Danko's dead," Noah said stepping closer to the two as he pulled out a small brass key, "Killed because of this."

"A key." Peter said in an annoyed manner but continued to listen to Noah.

"This key opens a safety deposit box in a downtown bank. The way I figure it the guy that killed Danko is probably just waiting for whoever shows up with this key. I need a partner on this Somebody I can trust. He could jump me just about anywhere, and I'd never know what hit me, cause he's super fast and he has a thing for knives."

Peter put down his water bottle he had just taken a sip from in interest, "How fast?"

Laney looked between the two of them confused in what was about to happen. "You stay here, Laney. I'll be right back I promise." He said smiling at her and kissing her forehead before whispering, "We can talk more when I get 'll be safe here I promise."

Laney laid there on his bed the first time she had slept so soundly in years. Peter walked into the apartment and stared at her, wondering where she had been all this time had what all she had been through for her to be this scared. He had never seen her this scared before, Laney was always confident and strong and rarely ever scared of anything. That's the Laney he remembered from high school and college anyway. She had changed so much from that girl that was so out going to the girl she is now scared, quiet and shy. He turned around to hang the newest article on his wall and admire at his good deeds.

She stirred a bit and blinked her eyes open looking around the room and then finding Peter standing there staring at the wall. "Peter?" She said sleepily as she watched him turn around and place a dim smile on his face, "How long have I been out."

"I guess since we left yesterday." He said making his way to sit on the opposite side of the bed. She blushed at the thought and ran her hand through her hair. "I'm sorry."

"No need," he placed his hand on the one she had resting on the blankets of the bed, "It's nice to see you again, been a long time. Sucks it's under these shitty conditions though."

"Well, your conditions don't seem to be that shitty, you're not a freak like me."

He smiled at her and chuckled a bit before demonstrating some of his abilities.

She stared at him shocked and pulled away from him a bit. "You, you're, you're like me?"

He nodded and smiled at her as he touched her hand once more and demonstrated her power. She jerked her hand away and held it close to her. "How did you do that?"

"It's my ability I can gain other peoples powers."

"How did you control it like that? I wish I had that control over this stupid thing."

"You just have to relax and accept that it is a part of you now, find you're own way to control it. Just relax take a deep breath and let go."

She sat there and stared at him for a minute then decided to follow his instructions, he had always helped her through so much in school, she knew she could trust him. She took a deep breath and let it go relaxing herself as she had earlier when she demonstrated her powers. She open one eye and looked around the room noticing nothing floating around the room.

"You did it." Peter said has her eye fell on him and she opened both of them as she leapt up and wrapped her arms around him, "I did it! I did it!" She stopped and pulled away from him sitting back in her spot and blushing a bit.

Peter stood up and rubbed the back of his neck, looking very tired as he headed into the kitchen, "You're welcome to stay here as long as you want, Laney."

She nodded to herself, "Thank you, Pete."

He walked back into stare at his wall of newspaper clippings. She stood up and straightened out her skirt and tank top before walking over to stand next to him and lacing her fingers into his, "I've missed you, Peter." She rested her head on his shoulder and felt him rest his head on hers a bit, "I've missed you too, Lane."
