This chapter is just so you understand where it all began. *Edit* Correct descriptions were put in that weren't there before.

Corinthian Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, 1990

Daniel Linderman and Arthur Petrelli were in Linderman's private gallery in his casino looking at a new painting. It was a painting of Adam Monroe and an unidentified woman, appearing to be very much in love. The woman had fair skin and long brown hair. Her brown eyes were staring into Adam's blue ones. They were dressed in expensive looking clothing. Adam had on a suit, minus the tie, and the woman had on a black button down shirt and black pants. Wedding rings could be seen on both of their left rings fingers. The background of the painting was blurred.

"We need to find her." Linderman said. At the strange look he got from Arthur he continued, "We could use her to placate Adam during his time in his cell. So he doesn't completely hate us."

Arthur nodded his approval. "She's our edge over him. He can't harm us if we have his wife, or introduced him to his wife."

"We need to organize a search. Use the physical attributes in the painting to match her to who and where she is now. Then we can take her from her family, finding some way to keep them quiet. Then we can introduce them." Linderman said.

Arthur agreed then left the room. Linderman continued staring at the painting.

"We can make her perfect. She will be the perfect bride for Adam. She will have all the abilities needed to make sure he successfully releases the virus. And they can live together forever, helping each other in their goals." Linderman said to himself, smirking.

HHHHHHHHHHHH

Indiana, 1992

It was a peaceful night and a small family was just getting ready for bed. Their family consisted of a mother, a father, and a 16-year-old daughter. Suddenly, the doors of the house were thrown open and men in suits came in. The family ran in all different directions. The daughter ran upstairs into her room and hid in her closet.

She tried to control her breathing as she remembered who had come bursting in. It was a bald guy that appeared to be black, a white man, and a middle-aged man with blondish hair that was turning white. She heard footsteps come up the stairs and slowly make her way towards her room. She tried to not totally freak out from the sounds of someone coming closer to her hiding spot. The footsteps stopped in the doorway of her room.

"Don't be scared. We won't hurt you or your family. My friend is only just helping your parents." She heard a voice say. It sounded like it could've been the middle-aged man she saw.

"If you come out willingly, it will make everything much easier." There was a pause. "Don't be shy. I'm going to take you to your destiny. It's a pretty nice destiny too. Spending eternity with the one you love."

There was a few moments of silence and the daughter heard the man step closer to her shut closet doors. She saw his hand reach for the handle and pull the doors open.

"Please don't be scared. We won't hurt you." His voice was calming and she felt the effects of it.

Suddenly the bald man was at the door of her room.

"She's in here." The middle-aged man told him then turned again to her. "Just relax and everything will be alright."

The bald man stepped over and knelt down to her level. He put his hand over her eyes and she relaxed then fainted. The bald man picked her up.

"Does the family forget they ever had a daughter?" The middle-aged man asked.

The bald man nodded.

"We'll have to send the clean up team in to grab everything that proves that they had a daughter, change records, erase pictures in yearbooks. Soon she'll be nothing more than the memory of a few stray friends that have no proof she ever existed. It's perfect." The middle-aged man said. "Let's get moving to Kirby Plaza now before she wakes up."

They made their way out of the house as a new team came in, grabbing the daughter's things as they went.

I'll try to update ASAP, but I kinda have a tendency to forget about stories until someone reviews it or something and I remember I have to finish it. But I like this story, so I should update soon!
