Chapter one: Beginning again.
two years after the events of season four
"I'm a hero" the phrase he had said to Peter replayed in his memory for ages. And he was, he had saved Emma and proceeded to save the thousands of New Yorkers, all of it was possible because of Peter. Peter believed in him, changed him, saved him. Gabriel Gray, the man formally known as Sylar, looked down from the statue of liberty at the streets of New York, standing in rags, clothes that he had worn for three months, a scruffy unkempt beard had sprouted from his chin, cuts and bruises covered his body, showing mainly on his hands and face. The New York he had helped save was a shadow of what it was. "Surely he is satisfied."
Present day.
Claire started to scale the Ferris wheel, at the remains of the Sullivan brothers' carnival, four groups of people watched her in quiet disbelief. Noah Bennet, her adoptive father, stood watching behind the horn rimmed glasses that most remember him for, in his head calculating roughly how long before a full scale up rise from the people without powers, and trying to subdue the tears, as his daughter betrayed everything he had worked for. Hiro Nakamura and Ando Masahashi, who both had seen how the world reacts to people with powers, the fear, the hate and the bloodshed, fear hit Hiro as he, in Japanese, whispered "What is she doing?" remembering everything he saw in the future he helped prevent. Gabriel, who was confessing to Peter about how good it felt, not killing but saving, saw her, trying to open the eyes of the world, his thought differed from Peters. Peter knew the hate mankind could have for powers, Gabriel with fresh faced hope for the world, the childhood hope, the thought "If I can change why can't the world?"
And finally the various news crews of America posting a live feed of Claire's assent. As she approached the top all eyes in the vicinity were on her, eyes nationwide were on her, and all at once they gasped as Claire Bennet begun her swift decent. Peter's mind flooded with fear, not for Claire, for the separate race of humans that could tap into an extra per cent of their brain matter. Hiro had flash backs, the dark world of the future, after the New York bomb. A single tear slide down Noah's cheek, inside his head cog's started to spin, formulating a plan, and a backup plan, just in case the human's with abilities did start to be hunted. He knew that it was up to him to help them.
The boom of the impact sent a wave of emotion, the camera crews were ecstatic with the smell of a story, each news caster saw promotions. The heroes of the moment caught sight of each other and converged, all except Gabriel who smiled and watched Claire deal with the endless torrent of questions.
"You know what this means don't you?" Peter said, looking around, taking in the expressions of people he had worked with before.
"Of course," Noah replied, "Hiro can you go back?" his voice cracking slightly, his emotions breaking his normally calm composition.
"I will" Hiro started to scrunch his face. Gabriel caught a glance of them and jogged over.
"Wait," Gabriel cut in, "why can't we try this?"
"Because humanity cannot handle change, it hates those who differ from them, naturally it will hunt those with abilities until they no longer exist." Noah said, returning to his normal calculating self.
"You can't know what they will do until they have done it."
"We have all been hunted; we cannot allow it to happen." Peter said with a venomous glare, "Sylar."
"Please Peter."
"Sorry, I'm glad you believe in humanity, but we can't take the risk."
"Peter's right now please Hiro." Noah said turning his head towards the camera crew, "we don't want to attract more attention."
"Sorry brain man" Hiro bowed and scrunched his face.
Before he disappeared a voice from behind them said "I'm sorry but until I know what happens I cannot let you do this."
They all turned to face the new comer each with a look of worry and curiosity, Noahs' face changed to shock. "Gregory," he whispered.
