Spoiler Warning: This story is an alternate version of Heroes. It will contain spoilers as for characters, but I am not using the plots from the show. It's a bit of everything I've learned from the show thus far with a lot I made up so there shouldn't be too much as for spoiling.
Chapter Notes: This is the prelude to Solidarity. Solidarity is the first in a series known as Hero High. Enjoy.
When I think back to those the days of my youth I can't help but smile. I remember chasing Peter around our back yard, a long time before we moved to the city. I remember laughing over nothing and everything.
Peter was always more reckless then I was, which is amazing considering the stupid stuff I did as a kid. We pushed the limits just to see how far we could get. We often got in trouble. It was always his idea, but no matter what, no matter how stupid it seems looking back, I always followed.
How did we change so much from those care free kids? When did it happen? I really can't pinpoint it to one thing. Maybe it was when our interested no longer coincided; when I got into reading about politics and following the news, and he got into writing. We tried to still do stuff together, but my politics always bored him, and no matter how many times I attempted to write…well my imagination never really matched his.
Or maybe it was our parents fault. Dad always favored me, and mom always favored Peter.
But personally I know what the problem was. Me. I don't know when it happened, but I do know that it did. I let my dreams become more important then my brother. It was during high school that I first saw itl. I was set on becoming a politician, just like our father. I was driven, or so people said. I think possessed is a better word for it. Everything I did was to one day realize my dreams. Peter was always supportive, always helping me out, when I let him. What did I give in return? Nothing. I admit I don't even know what he did with his time most of those years…
