Title: "Possibilities"
Summary: Samuel and Claire talked about the sense of possibilities in the air. Peter feels it when he sees Emma at the hospital. Spoilers for "Hysterical Blindness"
Disclaimer: I don't own "Heroes," Peter, or Emma.
Notes: So, song lyrics aren't allowed here. I'm playing it safe, and edited the story. Look up the third stanza of the lyrics for "The Greatest American Hero" theme song aka "Believe It or Not" to read what Peter's feeling. Thank you to the cast and crew of "Heroes" for giving us such outstanding Peter/Emma scenes so far.

It was as if by sharing her ability, he had a key that could help him unlock the mysteries of the blonde woman across from him.
For the first time that day, he felt a sense of anticipation in the air, as if it was full of possibilities.
All the while, the children's choir had continued singing, and although Peter wasn't listening to the words of the song anymore, he was already feeling what they described.
