Author's note: This chapter was written before Trust and Blood aired. It's in Natalie's POV. Again, when Natalie talks to her brother(s) mentally, the quotes and her speech is italicized and when the text is italicized, the quotes and speech are normal. Also, I'm combining some of the episodes and rearranging the order of others. The beginning of this chapter is not 'real life'.

Chapter 2

I heard my brother's voice among a throng of others. I also felt him lightly hitting my face and I tried to tell him to stop. It only came out as a grunt.

"Nat, thank god" Pete sighed pulling me into the tightest hug ever as soon as I opened my eyes. We had apparently crash landed and I saw Mr. Bennet holding Claire, one of my best friends. Pete helped me up and then wrapped an arm around my waist.

"Nathan you idiot! You and your dumb plan nearly got us killed" I growled mentally at him. With this power, I found that I could also hear my brother/brothers talk back to me.

"What" he asked. I sighed aloud and Pete looked at me. We walked towards the others and then looked at each other. We had to find someway to get out of this place. We didn't even know where we were.

"You heard me! What the hell were you thinking? Especially since you're one of us too. Do you really even care about me and Pete? Be truthful" I asked him. I could hear him growl and tapped my foot. The others looked at me strangely.

"What do you think" he asked me. I put my hands on my hips and Pete explained what I was doing to the others. Some of them began to try to talk to me, but I held up my hand and they fell silent.

"Um, how about no" I replied. He cursed and I could tell that he'd punched something. That was typical Nathan Petrelli.

"Of course I do Nat. You and Pete are my life" he told me. I snorted. I began to laugh coldly. The others began to pace.

"Yeah right! If you loved us, then why'd you send us away" I asked. It was true what I said. If someone loved another, then why would they send that person away.

"I had no choice! It was matter of safety" he told me. I snorted again and sat down on a rock. Pete sat down next to me.

"For who? Certainly not the people's; they're in danger without us. I think you're only worried about you're more worried about your campaign than about your own family" I stated indignantly.

"NO I'M NOT" he yelled at me. My lips back over my teeth in a sort of scowl that an animal does.

"Then prove it! We're on our way back. I'm going to try and teleport everyone back to the city, well, everyone except for the main pilot" I told him. I enlisted the help of Hiro in getting everyone to the city. I took a while to get everybody there because Hiro took most of the people. I only took two or three counting my brother.

"Where are you going" Pete asked me curiously. By that time, most of the people had dispersed. Besides Pete and I, there was only Hiro. He was just looking around confused at something.

"To take care of business" I grumbled. Pete was not satisfied with that answer and followed me. I quickened my pace, but he did too.

"WHERE ARE YOU GOING" Pete screamed at me mentally. I jumped slightly. He also flinched. I might have multiple powers and be a hero or something, but that doesn't mean that I can't forget that Pete can mimic abilities.

"To Nate's" I said clearer this time. Pete's hands started to glow and I was about to turn back when I saw it. Pete's hands were glowing because he had 'absorbed' too many powers. Apparently, I wasn't going to Nate's.

"Oh god! It's time" Pete said. I took a couple of deep breaths. We looked at each other; we knew this was going to happen at some point. Some guy; I forget his name; predicted it in a painting.

"Pete" I shouted. I did the only thing I could think of besides trying to kill him; I 'clung' to him. By 'clinging' to him, I could take some of the pain away from him. Of course it would hurt me instead, but it's worth it.

"Nat, no! Let go of me; you'll get hurt or even killed" he said trying to push me away. I also tried to remove my arms from around his shoulders to swat his hands away. The only thing was that I couldn't move my arms one bit.

"Natalie? Peter" Claire's voice croaked. Both of us were glowing and I screamed as the pain went through me. She pointed a gun at us and Pete's eyes went wide.

"Claire wait" Pete yelled whirling around so that I wasn't in the direct line of fire. I turned back and we fought for a minute. Then, another one of my friends, Gabriella, appeared. She was like me, a special kind of 'hero'.

"Gabriella! It hurts" I moaned to her. She nodded her head and got ready to hit us with her fire power. Suddenly, Nathan landed in front of Claire.

"Wait" Nate yelled to the both of them. He turned to us and looked at us sadly. Claire and Gabriella stared at him.

"Nate? Why are you here" I asked. Another wave of pain hit me and I screamed. I heard Pete scream too as it hit him. Nate stared at us.

"I was waiting for you at the house, but you didn't come. It took a little bit for me to figure out where you were" he said motioning to Hiro. So Hiro had told Nate? Nate grabbed the two of us and launched up in the air.

I jolted awake. Pete was gently stroking my forehead and had my head in his lap. As soon as he felt me jerk, he looked down at me and smiled.

"Pete! We're the bomb! The one that's supposed to go off in Kirby plaza" I told him. He took a couple of deep breaths and assured me that we'd take care of it when it came to it.

"Let's just get back to the city" he said. Hiro helped me get everyone back to the city, to Kirby Plaza. Just as everyone began to disperse, we found Nate standing there looking at us. We re-grouped and for a moment and had a stare down. It looked like there was going to be a showdown.

"Why Nate" I asked him. My voice cracked and I pushed through the crowd. As soon as I got through them, I saw Gabriella and Sylar arguing about something.

"I may be your sister, but that doesn't mean that I have to be evil" she growled at him. I walked towards them and Sylar saw me. He threw out his hand and I flew back into a pillar of one of the buildings. I felt my spine snap as well as my neck. I mentally screamed and black consumed me moments later.

Peter's POV:

I was really pissed at Nathan. He took us telling the public that we were dangerous and we nearly got killed! I glared at him for a while after Nat left. Then, something didn't feel right. Matt Parkman, who was standing behind me gasped loudly. I turned to him. He was scanning the crowd for something.

"Natalie" he whispered. My older brother instincts kicked in as soon as he said that. Something had happened to Natalie and I knew that it wasn't good. I went over to him and grabbed him by the shoulders.

"What? What is it? What's wrong with Natalie" I asked. Everything, even the shifting stopped. Nathan looked at me confused. He came over to me and I whipped my index finger out to stop him.

"She……she screamed. I-I think she's been hurt badly" he said. I froze. As soon as I let my sister out of my sight, she gets hurt! Panic swept over me and I ran around the crowd pushing Nathan out of the way.

"Pete, Peter" he called chasing after me. That's when I saw her. I stopped short and paled faster than I ever thought was possible. She was lying in front of a pillar in weird angles. Nathan nearly ran me over.

"Nat, no" I whispered. Nathan looked at me questioningly. I clenched my fist and threw my it at him. If he hadn't had us boarded onto that plane, Natalie would've been perfectly fine. I ran over to her and pulled into my arms again. I checked her vital signs; she was dead.

"Natalie" a girl's voice shouted. I looked over and saw a girl with long black hair running over to us. She skidded to a halt on her knees next to us. Minutes later, Nathan joined us.

"Peter, what happened" he asked me. I was crying full force; there was no way I could revive her. I couldn't heal people. Even as a medic, I only tried to save their lives and made what was left of theirs the best possible.

"If you even care, Nat d-d-d-is gone" I croaked. Nathan pushed the girl out of the way and looked at Nat. I cradled her in my arms. Natalie was my twin, my other half.

"I care" he mumbled stroking her hair. I pulled her away from him and he looked at me. I believed him as much as Nat was alive. I didn't know what to do without her.

"Like hell you do" I growled at him. He sat up straight and sent a glare my way. I ignored it. I was ready to punch him again.

"Pete, she's my little sister, I love her. I love both of you" he told me. My jaw tightened. I gently picked her up and began to walk away. Nathan followed me and tried to take her from me.

"No! Leave her alone" I screamed at him. I yanked her away from him and flew away with her in my arms. There was no way I was going to a hospital and home was not even a choice. There was one place that I could go with Nat. I landed in the special place that me and Nat would always go to as kids.

"This will always be our place Petey" Nat had once said. I smiled big as she handed me up some boards. We were making a sort of hut by ourselves. Yeah we were kids, but nobody else would help us and I knew how to use some tools.

"Of course, forever and ever" I told her. Once I was done, I pulled her into a big hug and we both looked at our work. It was a crude hut, but it was ours.

"Nobody else, but ours Nat" I whispered softly. I pulled her head into my lap and lightly stroked her forehead. A couple of tears fell from my face onto hers. I whipped them away. Then, she gasped and her eyes shot open.

"Pete" she gasped. I stared at her stunned. She was alive? How? I nodded slowly and checked her over. She was healing like Claire, our niece, did.

Natalie's POV:

While I was 'dead', I saw the future. Or at least I think it was the future. Nate had sent the army, special forces, and other teams after us trying to round us up again and yet another plane that we were on crashed. That's when a war started and all of the people with special abilities were on one side while Nate and the government were on the other.

"Pete, There's……there's going to be a war! We can't let that happen! We won't be the same! Our family will divide permanently and I don't want that to happen" I told him. I began to cry hysterically; something that I hadn't done for a long time. Pete hugged me tightly and rubbed circles in my back.

"It'll be ok" he told me. I pulled back and smiled at him. Pete was always there when I needed him. There was no doubt in my mind that he was the best 'older' brother in the world. Pete's really older than me by five minutes.

"I know Nate can be very evil at times, but he's still our brother. If need be, we'll fight him if he becomes extremely bad and tries to hurt any of us, but we could deal with it when and if it comes to that" I rambled. Pete opened his mouth to say something, but we heard footsteps.

"Pete" Nate's voice called from outside. We looked at each other. How did he know where Pete was? How did he find 'us'? He came over to our hand-made shack and knocked on the door. I got up and opened the door from him.

"Nate" I whimpered. He looked at me dumbfounded for a couple of seconds and then he hugged me. I stiffened in his arms. He pulled away and studied my face.

"What's wrong" he asked. I sniffed. Could Nate really become a monster? My brother Nate? Or was it his alter ego Nathan? I looked down at the floor and I could feel Nate's gaze shift to a worried one.

"I'm worried about you. When I was uh……dead, I saw 'the future'. You became really evil and began to hunt us down to put us away" I told him. I looked back up at him and I saw something there.

"Nat, you were probably just seeing stuff" he told me. Maybe he would do something like that. I ran a hand through my hair.

"No I wasn't. If you even think about trying to lock us up again, I swear I will kill myself. And I know how to. Sorry Pete" I said. I looked over at Pete who went a shade paler.

"Are you serious Natalie" Pete asked. I continued to stare at him. Another power of mine was that I could control who I talk to during my mental speech and how many people I talk to.

"In way. I hope it doesn't come to that. At the most, if he does try it, I have a plan. I can't tell you though" I told him. I turned back to Nate. Nate was shocked speechless and he wasn't moving. He snapped out of it moments later.

"I won't, I promise" he said. Pete snorted. I picked up a pillow that was there and chucked it at his head. It hit him square in the head. He grabbed another pillow and threw it at me. I ducked and it hit Nate in the face. Pete's face was priceless.

"I wish I had a camera" I told him. He just kept looking at Nate fearfully and guiltily. Nate reached down and picked up yet another pillow. He went over and clunked Pete over the head with it. He then grabbed Pete in a headlock. The two fell to the ground wrestling.

"Say Uncle" Nate demanded. Pete shook his head and tried to get out of the headlock. Nate just tightened his hold. I giggled.

"Never" he cried as he yanked at Nate's arm. They rolled around the floor a couple of times. Thankfully, Nate wasn't in a tuxedo because his outfit was getting wrinkled.

"Say it" Nate demanded again. Pete finally gave up and they both stood up and straightened themselves out. I was busy in a fit of giggles. Then, the door burst open and Sylar came in.

"I knew I'd find you three here" he said. Nate and Pete stiffened and I got into a defensive position. They began to try to get in front of me, but I managed to keep them behind me. I was 99.9% sure that I could take him.

"No, you two stay back. I can take him" I told them. Sylar smirked. He sent them into the back wall. I sent a ball of energy at him and he blocked it. We fought for a while.

"What happened to Gabriella Gabriel" I asked using his real name. His jaw tightened and his eyebrows knit together. So far I had gotten him pretty good even though it was a fair fight. Nate and Pete had tried to intervene on several occasions, but they only ended up getting thrown back. Whenever I would fight someone, it would always be because of one of them.

"Somewhere that's none of your business" he said. That's where the tide turned. He used his telekinesis power to grab me into a choke hold lift me up in the air. I grabbed at my throat. I closed my eyes and pretended to die.

"NATALIE" Pete and Nate yelled in unison. Sylar snickered and walked next to me. I opened my eyes and threw my telekinetic power at him. He hit the wall next to us.

"You really think you can get rid of me that easily" I asked. I found a heavy rock and threw it against him with my mind. Gabriella came bursting into the shack.

"STOP" she yelled at both of us. We both stopped and Gabriella pushed the rock off of him. She went up to him, smacked him upside the head, and pulled him by his ear to the door.

"What the hell" Sylar asked. She glared at him and tugged him out the door. I blinked in confusion and Pete ran to my side. Nate followed moments later.

"Nat, are you alright" Nate asked. He grabbed my face and looked at me square in the eyes. Nate's face swarmed in and out and he cursed. A vision came at me full force. Let me tell you; it was not a pretty one.

Done finally! With Gabriella/Sandra and Sylar, you only know as much as Natalie does and nothing more. The stuff you don't know will be revealed when I write her story.
