Chapter 7: How to Save the Exploding Man
The cab pulled up in front of a fancy penthouse. Caitlyn quickly got out and helped Peter to also. He leaned heavily on her as they looked up at the house.
"This is amazing," she whispered. "It was only a few blocks from where you teleported…that's…that's…"
"Destiny," he offered. She narrowed her eyes but nodded acceptingly. "I guess we should knock."
"Seems reasonably," Caitlyn teased. She helped him up the stairs and rang the doorbell. The chimes sounded, muffled by the heavy door, but silence was their only reply. "Maybe no one is home."
"Or maybe I'm not home," Peter said thoughtfully. Caitlyn raised an eyebrow.
"You? Living in a pent house in New York? Not a chance."
"Well I guess there is only one way to find out isn't there?" Peter replied trying the doorknob.
"Oh come on, you couldn't have believed it was that easy," Caitlyn chuckled.
"No I guess I didn't," he replied looking at the door thoughtfully.
"So what now? Do we wait for someone to come home or…"
"There's a key under the rug," Peter said suddenly. Caitlyn looked at him, stunned.
"Did you just remember that?"
"I…I think so."
Caitlyn nodded. She kneeled down and lifted the rug. Her eyes widened as she found the small golden key laying there. Her eyes darted back to Peter.
"I guess we should go in," Peter suggested awkwardly. She nodded. They unlocked the door and entered tentatively. The house was large and elegantly furnished.
"You definitely don't live here," Caitlyn teased. "Do you remember anything?" she asked more seriously. Peter shook his head.
"Not really," he replied steering her into the adjourning room. The walls were pink and lined with white trim. There was a desk in the corner, and a huge fire place on the far wall.
"What do we look for exactly?" Caitlyn asked, while Peter fell into the desk chair tiredly.
"I'm not sure…anything that may lead us to Suresh," he replied shuffling through the papers on the desk. Caitlyn noticed something strange beside the stack of papers. She lifted it up and stared. It was a shard of glass with brown stains on the tip.
"Strange paper weight," she commented darkly. "What do you think this is?" Peter looked up at the object and narrowed his eyes.
"Something to put under your pillow."
"What?" Caitlyn questioned.
"I'm not sure…"
Caitlyn's eyes traveled around the room and she gasped.
"Peter…look at this," she said walking over to the mantel. It was lined with pictures. One was of a dark haired woman with a young dark haired man and…Peter. His hair was long in that picture but the face was the same. Peter rose shakily from the chair and walked over. He took the picture and traced it with his eyes. "There're more of them," she said looking around the room. Of all the pictures Peter was in a good many of them.
"Do you recognize them?" Caitlyn asked hopefully.
"I wish I did but…"
Peter froze mid sentence when he heard a loud gasp. He turned slowly around. There in the door way was the man from the pictures.
"Peter?" the man asked his voice heavy with emotion. Peter stared deeply into those dark brown eyes while simultaneously looking deep in his memory. Suddenly his eyes widened.
"Nathan?"
The man rushed forward just in time as Peter's strength completely gave out. He fell into Nathan's waiting arms…
AN: Ok stay tuned for the Epilog, also there is possibly going to be a Prequel about Claude and the Haitian, but that may be a while. Still if you are interested check back now and then. I will try and message you all if I ever do write it.

I absolutely loved that one!! So sweet. All you're comments are so sweet! Thank you for this brilliantly beautiful review. Also I agree, the Gilmore Girl pairing names are the bomb.
