Disclaimer: I am, in no way, associated with the thoughts and opinions of anyone involved with Heroes, nor do I own of their characters. I only own Danielle Landon and Carter Reese... unfortunately. Summary: There are a lot of things Danielle Landon can do with her ability, especially as a bio-chem major. But when it turns out that she might be able to restore Peter's powers, it will take more time and studying to develop her own... and maybe more. Peter/OC Carter Reese and Angela Petrelli New Brunswick, New Jersey It had been nearly four years since he'd last seen her. Barely anything about her had changed. Glancing at Angela Petrelli, standing in the doorway of his office, he couldn't help but notice that thin, pursed-lipped smile easing its way across her face. "Carter Reese," Angela addressed him simply, a hint of amusement in her voice. "It's been quite a while, hasn't it?" Carter pushed his glasses up higher on his slightly crooked nose and adjusted his red tie. "It certainly has, Angela. I trust you received my letter." "Yes, I did," she replied, taking a step into his office, closing the door behind her. Carter Reese was once one of Primatech's premier agents and the right hand man of both Arthur and Angela Petrelli. With his rugged good looks and sandy blonde hair, Reese had a tendency to appear as anything but an agent. In fact, while Carter had aged more visibly than Angela, it seemed as though it had actually done his appearance a greater justice. "And?" he asked impatiently, his green eyes glinting in the fluorescent lights of his office. "Where is she?" A satisfied smile spread across his features. "I was hoping you'd say that. Where is your son?" Any trace of a smile vanished from her face. "He wouldn't come." Carter sighed heavily and removed his glasses, standing up from behind the desk, "Well, I guess we'll just have to bring her to him." Peter Petrelli New York City, New York Surely, his mother had lost her mind. As if attempting murder on his father hadn't been enough, now she had to claim she could cure him… like she had cured Nathan of his powerlessness. She'd spoken of some woman at a college in New Jersey who could help him. Something to do with molecules and chemistry. Granted, he was a nurse, almost a doctor… and while almost only counted in horseshoes, he knew a lot about medicine. And molecules had nothing to do with his condition. Clearly, the mystery woman wasn't a doctor, she was a scientist. And I'm sure her specialty is returning powers to those who've had them stolen. Yes, his mother had truly gone off the deep end this time. Danielle Landon New Brunswick, New Jersey Danielle pushed open her front door, her apartment key still firmly set inside of it. Immediately, in the autumn heat, she noticed how warm it was in the room. After removing her key, the five foot, four inch blonde closed the door and locked both the doorknob and the latch. "Hmm… let's see," she pondered, her hazel eyes glancing around the room and landing on the Deer Park water dispenser in the corner of her kitchen. "Perfect." With no particular sense of urgency, she shut her blinds, closing herself off from the surrounding world, and lazily, dropped her backpack down onto the floor as she eased onto the couch. With a curl of the fingers on her right hand, the twenty-year old college junior pulled the water from the dispenser across the room, spreading it in a thin layer that hovered millimeters away from the ceiling and walls. Immediately, her palm burst open, freezing the liquid in mid-air. Perfect, she mused internally with a satisfied smirk. Carter will love this one. A/N: I know that this chapter is a little short and I apologize. For the record, I don't normally write chapters this short unless it is called for. I think that this chapter is more introductory than anything else, so I kept it short and hopefully sweet. Also, I understand that it's a little confusing, but it'll be explained further in the next chapter or two. Most likely, the third. And then in the fourth, she'll finally meet Peter. :-) The next chapter, already written, will definitely be longer. Please read and review! Danielle
