Author's Note: So this is a story about what would happen if the "5 Years Gone" future from Volume One continued, or at least my take on it. I plan on taking a lot of elements and characters from "Fugitives", because I figure these people would end up getting involved in either time line. There will be plenty of chracter development and action, so I hope you like it. Read and Review, it keeps me going!
Heroes: Five Years Gone
Volume One: "Repercussions"
Chapter One: "Allegiances (Introduction)"
Hiro tried to stop this. He tried to go back and save us. To that day, to warn me about Claire. Save the cheerleader, save the world. If I saved Claire, Sylar never would have gotten her power. To regenerate. People think that means Sylar wouldn't explode, but he never did. It was me. I couldn't control it and I exploded. But Sylar let me. Provoked me. And if Hiro had succeeded in killing him, someone would have been able to stop all of this. Stop Claire from dying. Stop Sylar from taking down the company. Stop me from helping him. Stop Nathan, or Sylar as I know now, from passing the Linderman Act. Stop Matt from being ripped from his family. Niki from losing hers and getting captured. Hiro from losing Ando and turning into a hardened terrorist. Everything. Everything up until we found 5 years gone. The only question now is if Hiro's plan worked? And if not, what are the repercussions?

Peter woke up groggily. He could hear wires whipping and the walls crumbling from the aftermath of his and Sylar's fight. He shook dust out of his hair as he got up and eyed his surroundings. Did Sylar survive? Did Matt? Mohinder? Anyone?
He stood up and quickly lit his hand on fire, ready in case of any surprises the monster had for him. A few SWAT members lay around, and Peter looked down the hallway suspiciously. He could see Hiro's body still in the holding room, the door blown off from the sheer energy of the former battle. A cough made Peter perk up.
He tried to run down the hallway towards the holding room, wanting to see who was coughing, but found his leg still hadn't fully healed. Looking at his hands, he realized he was massively scarred and burned, but the wounds were slowly disappearing. He continued with caution, stepping over debris. Another cough.
"Hello?" he called out. He could hear debris rattling as if someone was pushing it off of them. He rounded the corner into the holding room, finding Mohinder struggling to get up. The large door was on top of his legs. "Mohinder?" he asked. The dark man looked up.
"Peter?" he called out weakly. Peter wasn't sure whether to leave him there, or help him simply because he needed it. Everything Mohinder had helped Nathan, well Sylar, do. It disgusted him. Mohinder froze for a moment, not sure whether Peter was going to help or attack him with the massive fireball engulfing his hand.
"Here", Peter said, the flame flicking out as he moved to pick up the door. Niki's enhanced strength came in handy as he heaved it off of Mohinder, who squirmed out and quickly got to his feet. Peter dropped the door and raised his hand at Mohinder. "Don't run."
"I wasn't going to, Peter", Mohinder explained. Peter gave a puzzled look and noticed the fear and incapacity to speak that surrounded Mohinder. Peter whipped around after eying where Mohinder was staring at, and found him. Sylar's dark eyes met Peter's and Peter found himself flying back, hitting a wall. Holding him up telekinetically, Sylar spoke with a slight smile.
"Neither was I, Pete."
Authors Continued Note: Okay, so this takes place right after Peter and Sylar fight, this was sort of a teaser I guess in case people actually like it. I have so many ideas. In the narration, I added " Stop Sylar from taking down the company. Stop me from helping him." I guess that was sort of my way of adding in a plot line for this time lines "Generations" plot line. It happened differently. I plan on adding little things like that, look for 'em! Please Review.
