Sooner or Later

After they dropped off Candice, Peter was in the back seat of a car being driven to his Mothers house thinking at how they will react to him when they find out he's lost his memory and what Candice meant by being a loner so he fears that he might not know them before hand. He also was wondering what had happened to his father as he wasn't mentioned by Thompson or anyone when he awoke in the lab or that he didn't have a picture of him in his office as the car pulled up.

Peter got out of the car that took him to outside his Mother's house as he walked over to the door and see's the comm and presses the button.

"Hello may I help you" said posh female voice which Peter assumed that it belonged to his mother but checked to make sure.

"Yeah is this Angela Petrelli?" asked Peter.

"Peter is that you" asked Angela recognising Peter's voice.

"Yes it is" said Peter immediatley feeling butterflys in his stomach.

"Hang on I'm on my way down" said Angela as Peter waited as a while later Angela opened the door and looked at Peter as if she was going to cry.

"Oh my god it is you" said Angela grabbing Peter and pulling him in a hug as Peter felt relieved that it was happy families before he had amnesia but as Angela pulled away she slapped Peter in the face as he stood there suprised.

"What was that for?" asked Peter holding his cheek.

"After sitting on your bedside for two weeks watching you in a coma only for you to wake up and walk away not saying a word" said Angela as she slaps him again.

"And thats for making me worry for eight long days wondering what on earth had happened to you" said Angela as she walked inside as Peter looked at her holding his cheek confused as he was thinking Thompson never mentioned about him being in a coma as he followed her inside not sure at how to break the news that he has suffered amnesia as he followed Angela into a room where he saw Nathan and a girl he didn't recognise as Nathan look's at him and walks over and pull's him into a hug as Nathan was almost crieng tears.

"Peter where on earth have you been " said Nathan as he pulled Peter tighter as he see's this girl looking at him with a wide grin on her face as she came down the stairs and hugged him which for some reason put a smile on his face.

"where have you been?" asked Nathan with his hands on Peter's shoulders as Peter decided to tell them.

"I don't know I took a big hit to the head and suffered amnesia I don't remember anything" said Peter as the grin on the girls face disappeared as she then looked worried as Nathan looked worried as well while Angela expression wasn't changed.

"How long ago was this Peter" asked Angela.

"A few days ago" said Peter.

"Then where have you been all this time?" asked Nathan.

"I've been at work, They found me and helped me out" said Peter.

"hold on you don't have a job Peter you quit your job and who are they?" asked Nathan suspiciously.

"Yeah I do at Primatech Paper and what do you mean I quit my job?" asked Peter as the girl looked at him with shock and that tears looked like coming out of her eyes as she walked out as Nathan turns around and see's that the girl had walked out and Peter was wondering who is she and what her problem is, Angela had a look as if the light bulb just switched on.

"Hang on Peter you never told me about this what' going on" said Nathan confused.

"Don't worry about that for now Nathan, come on Peter I'm sure you are still pretty confused about things with your amnesia so let's take a car ride so we can talk about thing's" said Angela as she linked arms with Peter and they got in the car and it drove off leaving Nathan and Claire worried and confused as to whats is going on with Peter while Claire is upset that he's been working for what she thinks Primatech all along.

"So what"s going on Mom what's with Nathan and who is that girl and what did Nathan mean I quit my job" asked Peter wondering why he his family reacted strange to him with his job while his mother remained unmoved about it.

"That girl is Claire your niece Peter, You used to be a hospice nurse before you quit that job and Nathan doesn't know that you have a job with Primatech because Primatech is a front for much bigger intentions that must remain secret as you know" said Angela.

"Hold on you know about the company" said Peter suprised.

"Yes I do me, your father and a friend of your father Daniel Linderman formed a partnership with other people who had abilities like you, Nathan and Claire and we tried to help the world so we formed the Company. Several members of our partnership strayed away from the Company and eventually it came down to myself and Linderman. So little did you know you were working for me all along, I imagine you are confused and have many questions so ask away dear" said Angela as she looked out the window.

"Hold on what happened to dad where is he?" asked Peter.

"Your father became depressed and he commited suicide" said Angela not showing a hint of emotion as this took Peter aback while Angela continued to look out the window.

"So are you going to get all upset just like when Nathan told you the first time" asked Angela.

"I feel I should but I have no memory of the man so I can't" said Peter feeling guilty.

"Well that saves us both a lot of grief then" said Angela.

"So Nathan and Claire have powers to" said Peter.

"Yes they do Nathan can fly and Claire can regenerate" said Angela as Peter realised that that's where he got those abilities.

"I assume that you have used those abilities before am I right?" asked Angela as Peter nodded.

"So what's wrong with Claire she looked really happy to see me but when I said about Primatech Paper she stormed out" said Peter.

"She has had terrible experiences with the Company which has led her to hate them, Me and your father have worked hard to keep her existence a secret from them else she would be taked away and you know the rest and I'd greatly appreciate it if you keep her existence a secret as well" said Angela as Peter nodded.

"Well with this amnesia what is the last thing you remember?" asked Angela.

"Well I remember waking up in a big tube and a man called Thompson said I work for them saying that they all understand what I was going through with my abilities" said Peter trieing to recollect it all.

"I see and what were you going through dear?" asked Angela.

"I don't know I can't remember" said Peter confused but Angela was smiling as Peter didn't notice.

"So where have you been these last few days then?" asked Angela.

"Well working for the Company helping them pick up people like me and helping them generally" said Peter.

"I see" said Angela finding out what she wanted to know as the car pulled over back outside the house.

"Mom I'm not comfortable working for the company thing's are happening there that I just don't see myself working for them what should I do, can I trust them? asked Peter.

"I don't think you could ever trust anyone there Peter but then again you cannot trust anyone at all, If you are going to continue working for them then please be careful sweetie" said Angela as she kissed Peter on the cheek as he smiled.

"It's great to see you again and to know you're safe" said Angela as she walked in as Peter was about to follow but then the driver got out of the car.

"Aww ain't that sweet" said the driver.

"Excuse me" said Peter as the driver morphed into Candice.

"YOU, What are you doing here?" asked Peter.

"Checking up on you to see how you're doing getting back with your family and was sent to see how Mrs Petrelli is doing" said Candice with a smirk.

"Why what does the company want with her" asked Peter worringly.

"Don't worry Mr Linerman just wants to see how an old friend is doing so calm down, Oh and don't worry I won't tell the company that you don't trust them it will be our little secret and because I like you I won't tell them about Claire either enjoy getting back with your family see you tomorrow, Toodles" said Candice as she walked away smiling leaving Peter feeling anxious as he walks in the house.
