A/N: I was planning on writing this fic for a few weeks now, I just needed some more details and now, after seeing the promo for 3.22, I just HAVE to finish it asap.
The name comes from the song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
P.S.: I love reviews.

SHOW ME YOUR SOUL
Prologue
The storm was getting worse. It seemed like the whole Liberty Island was shaking from the unbearable force, bolts of lightning striking outside, and for a few minutes Olivia was just standing there looking up at Peter, pain clearly showing on her face as she was watching his body fiercely convulsing, jolts of electricity running through it.
It seemed like nothing else was going on, just the two of them deciding fate of the whole universe... it was all a blur… the lights went out… then it was over...
Minutes later Peter woke up in her arms slowly opening his eyes. She was sitting on the floor and holding him tight against her, eyes closed, not willing to let go, and when he started moving she looked down at him quickly. At first she was afraid he won't recognize her, as if something could change him, alter his memories... But as his gaze finally seemed to come into focus she saw him smile. It wasn't long before the smile disappeared.
"What happened?" Peter asked, looking concerned.
"I don't know..." she answered honestly, shaking her head.
Then it was Walter's voice they heard.
"Struck by a lightning twice."
Two pairs of eyes looked at him in confusion.
"What?" Olivia said.
They knew that when he smiled like that he was up to no good. It was in his eyes. He was content and satisfied, just like when he would discover something huge, this dark smile of well-hidden knowledge.
"We sealed the hole to another universe. Good work, son. Good work."
