"No! They shall fear us Peter. You know what it is like, hiding in the shadows, hunted like dogs! We are not convicts, and if they shall not appreciate us, they shall fear us!

They circled each other, Samual's eyes tinted with a spark of madness and determination, panting as the earth shifted and crumbled, making the ground a treacherous battle ground.

"No more living in fear, no more prosecution! You feel the way I do, I can see it in your eyes, the fire, the hunger to be recognized as the Gods we are!"

Peter gritted his teeth, shifting a mound of earth towards Samual, knocking him off his feet. "There is a fire in my eyes, and yes, there is a hunger! A fire to right the wrong, a hunger to help the helpless!"

Samual lay on the ground, wheezing into the dirt, glaring at Peter as he approached, each step like a shock to the earth, steps and words that pounded at Samual's raging heart. "They do fear us, but see what happens? You reveal yourself, you condemn us all! You call us a family, say we must band together, yet you tear down the shelter you yourself have made! Personal glory is never the correct drive to the answer, you are blinded by predudece, hate and biased views, that will destroy the world. To hide in the shadows is hard, but it is better than to expose ourselves and run, to cause chaos in the world, Samual, think of your family, think of..."

"NO!" Samual had shot back to his feet, his tattered clothes swirling around him. "I have waited to long! They want freedom, to, and so do you and your brotherhood!"

The mound of earth shot across to Peter, who dodged, only to fall back over an abandoned tent pole.

"Your using them, Samual." Peter replied steadily, a hidden menace to his voice. "They are innocent, and you would trick them, and use them to fuel your cause. How selfish. You will tear down what all of us have worked so hard to keep, a normal life, Samual! They are not one of your cheap carnival acts, to be paraded around, they are real people who only want shelter!"

"Peter Petrelli, you fool. I can destroy you, as a matter-of-fact, I shall. You, my friend, your too dangerous to be kept alive!"

He raised his arms, and dust and rocks swirled around Peter. As they advanced, gaining more material, the dust and grit suddenly fell to the ground. Samual stared around him in shock.

"How...?"

"They've gone, Samual. As has... your power. No more. Now, Gabriel, if you wouldn't mind?"

Samual whipped round, and came face-to-face with a hand being snapped onto his head. Samuals eyes went white, and then he turned around. "Who...are...you? Who...am I?"

"l really like my empathy. The hunger is satisfied, I am no longer the villian."

Peter nodded to Samual. "Now, neither is he."

Two hours later

"The press think it's a gas leak and ciggarete."

"That's good."

Camera's whirled onto the ferris real. "She's gonna jump!"

A swirl of blond and black, a splatter of blood, screams, and then silence.

"My name is Claire Bennet, and that was attempt number..." The smiling girl paused, and shruged, setting her shoulder in place. "Well, I guess i've lost count."

Peter sighed, slapping a hand to his forehead. "There goes our cover."

Gabriel smiled. "Oh, yes, Peter. Start of a brave new world."

End.
