A/N: I have no idea how it works, but this is when Niki/Jessica is still alive, but Sylar has most of his powers right now. (But he gets his shape shifting later.) This is also when Peter got the powers of anyone he touched. Basically, I just kept the powers and/or people that I liked.

Disclaimer: I don't own heroes, but I created Kate and Jonathon, so please don't steal!

Freedom wasn't like Kate and Jonathon had expected, though.

Life wasn't easy, being two young heroes without parents. Kate couldn't work, she was too young to without raising suspicion. So she wrote books. Jonathon fixed things so that it looked like they had an aunt by the name of 'Ana Johnson.' That was the name that Kate wrote under. That took care of the basics.

But Kate stopped sleeping much. She was constantly on alert. Sylar was still out there. She knew it. She could feel it with everything that she was.

It was one o'clock in the morning the day that their freedom ended. Kate was outside. She'd been walking, like she sometimes did. No one was around, so it was a surprise when she heard footsteps behind her.

She kept walking, turning into an alley. When she heard the footsteps follow, she whirled around, throwing whoever was behind her telekinetically into the building.

"Who are you?" She snarled. She brought the dark figure into the light from the lamppost.

"Sylar!" She exclaimed, dropping him.

"Hello, Kate."

She looked at him. "So. You've finally come to kill me?" It was said like a joke, but there was no humor in her eyes.

He glared. "Unfortunately, no."

Her eyes widened slightly. "Really?"

He nodded darkly.

She looked at him, confused. "Then, why are you here?"

He stared into her eyes. "Peter Petrelli."

"No." She hissed. "No way."

"You have to." He replied.

"No, Sylar. I DON'T."

"You'll change your mind."

"I'm not going to help you hurt Peter. Believe it or not, Sylar, you and I are still on opposite sides of the argument."

He shook his head. "You don't even know everything."

"I know enough!" She spat.

"No, Kate. Read my mind on it."

She looked at him. "Seriously?"

He nodded darkly.

Her eyes narrowed, and she focused. After a moment, she looked into his eyes. "So, what? He's gone crazy?"

Sylar nodded.

"How?"

He shook his head. "No one knows."

"That's why we needed to find you, Kate." A new voice said.

"Claire?"

Claire Bennett stepped out of the shadows. "We're all trying to stop Peter. All of us." She seemed like she was trying to ignore Sylar.

Her statement was accented by Nathan, Matt, Niki, Ando, and Hiro stepping out of the shadows.

"He sent Hiro to the hospital." Ando said. Kate looked at the long scar on Hiro's face. Undoubtedly, it would go away after a few days, but it was there now.

"I'm not the only one." Sylar said.

Kate looked around. "Fine." She said. "I'll help."

Kate looked at everyone. They'd been trying to think of a plan to take down Peter. It wouldn't be easy. She knew that. Suddenly, she perked up, and told everyone. "I think I know someone who can help."

They all looked at her, and she looked back.

"Jonathon." She told them.

Sylar rolled his eyes. "You're trusting a TODDLER to think of a plan?"

She glared at him. "You know as well as I do that Jonathon is probably smarter then anyone here."'

He glared, but said nothing.

"Right then." She walked down the alley. "I'll be right back." She kept walking until she couldn't see anyone's face, but could still see the light in the area where they were standing. She sat down on the ground.

Jonathon… She called to her brother telepathically. Wakey wakey… we need your help…

Half an hour later, Kate stood up. She walked over to the others.

"Right!" She said. "Here's the idea."

Everyone walked over to her. Kate had noticed something about them. They all looked to her, almost like she was a leader. She hadn't asked them to, nor had she expected it. But, when she thought about it, it made a small amount of sense. She had taken down The Company, taking them out for months. Of course, Sylar had helped her, but the others didn't seem to want to acknowledge that he was there.

"Jonathon thinks that we should split up into teams of two." She looked around. "One for offence and one for defense, according to their abilities. Claire and Niki." She nodded towards them, and they stood next to each other.

"Matt, we're going to need you to go into Peter's mind, try and show him we're on his side. See if you can get him to see what's going on. Nathan, you're going with him. Since Peter can fly, you need to go with Matt so that he can get close enough."

Matt and Nathan nodded.

"Ando, I know you don't have an ability, but you need to go with Hiro, just in case. If he was in the hospital, then he might need someone if he faints in midair or something."

Hiro and Ando nodded.

"And Sylar…" She trailed off, and then began again. "Jonathon thinks that no one will trust you enough. So…" She trailed off again.

"Yes…?" Sylar asked.

She shook her head. "The old team." She whispered softly. It was enough.
