EPISODE ONE: Exodus
Kirby Plaza, New York City
"Stay with me here, baby." Nikki whispered as she caressed her husband. She had conquered her evil persona, Jessica tonight, she did it to save her family…For her son and husband. "I can't lose you, I won't"
She squeezed her husband's hand gently.
"I've lost a lot of blood." DL breathed as blood belched out of his mouth.
"You have to stay strong, for Micah and me!" She said firmly, trying to alert her dazing off husband. "Dad, are you going to be okay?" Asked a concerned Micah.
"Im gonna be fine Micah, don't worry about me" He lied. DL looked as his wife and son, everything was becoming a blur. "I'm sorry Nikki." He said sincerely.
"For what?"
"For things not going out like I thought they would when we got married…but I love you and Micah to death, you know that."
"Don't talk like that DL, tomorrow we'll all be home together and everything is going to be okay" Nikki said but deep down she knew that wouldn't happen, she knew that good things never lasted long. "You didn't have to take that bullet for me." She said as her eyes welled up with tears.
"Yes I did, I had to save my family. I got to be a hero tonight." DL smiled. He was finding it hard to breathe and he felt dizzy.
"Stay with me DL!"
"Dad!? Dad the ambulance will get here any moment now, keep your eyes open!"
Those were the last words he heard.
Matt Parkman
Matt Parkman could hardly keep his eyes open, he felt an excruciating pain. Everything was becoming silent, there were no thoughts…and being unable to hear any thoughts frightened him. He looked up at the sky, everything was a blur. He wondered if he'd make it out alive tonight. He could hear the sirens from a distance, the ambulance were near.
New York City, New York
Not too distant future…
Hiro Nakamura opened his eyes, for a second he thought he was dead. He pinched himself to make sure. "Ouch!". He was definitely alive. He looked around, he was in the middle of time square, the streets were full of civilians. "Yatta!" He exclaimed, his strange outburst drew the attention of a couple of bystanders. He put his arms back down and eyed the giant Panasonic screens.
"July 2009…" He muttered to himself. He did not even finish his sentence when he heard the bang. There was screaming and Hiro's stomach dropped. He felt the heat of the blast. The explosion's raging inferno destroyed everything in its path. "Oh no." Hiro silently voiced. "This not good."
