He kept a clean apartment. It creeped her out a bit. Her house was a little but of a mess. After one boy genius and a sister who occasionally took over you're body out of boredom. Not mentioning the occasional times Molly stayed when Mohinder had to find another hero. Or when Claire couldn't handle two overprotective fathers. It left little time to clean up.

But his apartment was really tidy. There was nothing on the coffee table; no magazines, no empty cups or half full ones. Nothing left to the sink waiting to be washed up or waiting to be put away. It made Niki feel self conscious, slightly nervous. She could snap someone in half in a second or rip a door of its hinges without any problem but she was nervous that her boyfriends' home was cleaner than hers.

"You know the only reason my apartment is this clean is that no one lives here; so there's never anything to tidy up. I like you're home. People actually live there. Its been a while since I've seen a home that has a real life to it. I like that Claire can never find that hairbrush she knows she left in the bathroom. Or that Micah and Molly can never remember which glass is theirs and so have to get another one every time they want a drink."

Him having Matt's gift was sometimes a bit scary, but sometimes, made her feel just that bit better.
