Sooner or Later
Peter finally made it to Moscow as he was at a pay phone trying to call the Company and ask what he should do as he dialled the phone and he heard Thompson's voice.
"Hello" said Thompson.
"Hello Thompson it's me Peter".
"Peter hi how's your trip in Russia" said Thompson.
"Terrible I couldn't get the man I was sent to find, Thing's are getting a little hectic over here there's more of them" said Peter looking around to see if he was being watched.
"hmmm I see, stay where you are I'll send someone to pick you up and help you out" said Thompson as he hang's up as Peter was confused and suspicious at this as he didn't tell Thompson where he was he got out of the phone booth and saw a cafe across the street as he went in there and ordered coffee trying to stay calm and every now and then looking around to see if there was anyone looking for him.
Peter sighed as the waitress gave him his coffee and gave him a small wink as he smirked back as he took a sip of it. After waiting for an hour Peter was about to order another coffee but then a someone sat in the chair next to him.
"Hi there cutey" said a woman's voice as Peter turned around to her and saw that it was the Tori woman as Peter stood up quickly.
"Whoa" said Peter as he backed away from Tori as she held her hands up.
"Whoa, Whoa don't worry I'm not here to hurt you" said Tori as she slowly walked towards Peter as Peter continued to back away.
"How do I know that" said Peter.
"Because I'm part of the back up that Thompson sent for you" said Tori as Peter looked at her dumb founded.
"What you're my back up no way" said Peter.
"As I said part of the rest are on their way from the Moscow branch" said Tori.
"Why were you at the mountain with that psycho path when you are part of the Company?" asked Peter.
"I am working undercover for the Company to check reports of a Russian faction who are lead by people like us and to watch over you to make sure you get the job done which I see you couldn't do I might add" said Tori.
"You have a power" said Peter.
"Yes I do" said Tori with pride.
"And what might that be?" asked Peter.
"Now now that would be telling" said Tori with a mischievious grin.
"How long have you been here?" asked Peter.
"Not long a few day's I can come here because I'm on break" said Tori.
"So what's going to happen now then" asked Peter as Tori walked over to him face to face.
"Well for starters we are going to get back up there and get those people and bring them down here and hand them to the Moscow branch to take care of then we can get paid so come on let's see how fast you can go" said Tori backing away and walking out of the cafe as Peter followed.
"What about our back up?" asked Peter.
"They will take forever to get here bloody Russians, Well come on then get us back up there then" said Tori with a hand on her hip as Peter thought about Tara with what she said not to go back and everything she said as Tori waved her hand in front of his face.
"Errr hello Earth to Petrelli" said Tori as Peter snapped out of it.
"Look I just can't go back" said Peter.
"And why the hell not" said Tori.
"Because I made a promise not to" said Peter turning around and walking away.
"Oh yeah what about that promise you made to the Company swearing that you would do your duty" said Tori standing still as Peter stopped and thought about it he sure as heck didn't trust the Company but didn't want them to know that right now as he turned around and sighed as he gave in. He heard Tori's thoughts thinking "what is his problem he's not normally like this, I wonder what happened to him up there other then get tortured" as Peter looked at her with a confused look thinking does she know him from before he lost his memory.
"Have we met before?" asked Peter.
"What are you talking about?" asked Tori confused.
"Have we met before I was wondering if we have ever seen eachother before" said Peter.
"I doubt it I've been in Russia my whole life" said Tori as Peter let it go for now thinking to ask her about it again later.
"Yes alright what's the plan. sighed Peter.
"Now there's a good boy, Come on Lenin know's you've escaped so we'll just say I found you in Moscow drugged your coffee and brought you back here and prepare for a hostile return from him" said Tori as Peter nodded as he teleported them just outside of the camp.
"Now play nice with them for a bit and I promise I'll be back soon" said Tori in a low voice as she pats lightly on the shoulder as Peter turns to look at her but he then feel's something on his other shoulder as he spins his head to look at it to see it was a dart as he started to feel dizzy as he started to lose stability in his legs as he fell onto his back as his eyes become too heavy for him to keep them open as he he see's Tori smirking at him as he closes his eyes.
Peter started to stir as his eyes felt to heavy to open and he still felt disoriented but he could still here the conversation before him.
"Where did you find him" he heard Lenin gruffly said.
"In a cafe in Moscow looked completley lost" said Tori.
"Do you know if he has talked to anyone?" asked Lenin.
"Not a clue" said Tori.
"Very well let's wake him up and let's find out" he heard Lenin say as he could here metal noises clanging he guessed Lenin was picking up a bucket as he felt hot water splash over him as he winces trying not to scream as he slowly open's his eyes.
"Wakey wakey american dog" said Lenin in a sarcastic smile as Peter looked around to see he was hanging from a rope on his hands while they were tied together in a room with grey walls but covered in blood as he look's around to see that Lenin was there walking back in forth in front of him with Tori standing behind him tapping her foot while two soldiers were guarding the door as he noticedhe didn't have a shirt on.
"You gave us quite a worry when we found you've got away but when Tori here managed to catch you we were also very happy bunnies after now lets pick up where we left off" said Lenin as he punched Peter in the gut.
"Who have you been talking to, who sent you here" shouted Lenin as he kept punching away at Peter repeatedly while asking him different questions until he got tired as he pulled out a handgun and shot Peter in the leg as Peter screamed again.
"Very well... we'll have to use... more electric method's for this then" huffed Lenin as he nodded at one of the guards as the guard left the room and came back in with a stun gun as he handed it to Lenin.
"Now comrade this stun gun is the most powerful one in Eastern Europe it can charge up to ten million volts this might be enough to get you talking" said Lenin in a sadistic smile again as he pressed the gun against Peter's stomach and pulled the trigger as Peter felt the charge and screamed in agaony and was shaking violently trying to turn away from the stun gun as Lenin grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and pressed it against him and pulled the trigger again as Peter gain screamed in pain now wondering whether or not he could take this anymore and was considering telling him what he want's to know as he could see from the corner of his eye Tori looking away closing her eyes obviosly not wanting to see this as Lenin kept torturing him with the stun gun as the door opened and Tara walked through and gasped as she saw Peter screaming in agony and Lenin's sadisctic laugh as Lenin turns aroundto see who came in and stops.
"Tara so you're finally here to see the show" said Lenin in a sick smile as Tara was on the verge of tears seeing the state of Peter's body as it was hanging motionless.
"What are you doing to him" shouted Tara as she rushed to Peter and checked his breathing as he slowly opened his eye's and see's her there annd tries to talk but every inch of his body hurt with whatever he tried to do as he notices Tori looking at them in disgust as Lenin look's angry.
"What are you doing Tara?" asked Lenin.
"He's suffered enough" said Tara turning to face Lenin.
"His body can heal itself he can never suffer enough" said Lenin as he went to punish Peter some more but Tara got in the way.
"I can't let you do this not to someone who is like us" cried Tara.
"Tara back away now" shouted Lenin with his reverberate voice as Tara backed away as Tori stepped forward.
"Sir Colonol Zu has asked us to keep him alive and in good condition sir I think it will be wise if we follow his orders" said Tori rasing an eyebrow as Lenin sighed and punched Peter one last time out of frustration.
"Very well throw him into a cell and we'll take him tomorrow" said Lenin as he leaves as the guards let Peter down as Tori wink's at him while Tara is looking down at the ground and they take him to a cell and throw him in Peter look's around the cell and see's he has a small bed with a sink and a toilet on the other side as he lays on the bed in tremendous pain as he then hears Tara in his head.
"Peter can you hear me?" asked Tara.
"Yeah I can hear" replied Peter.
"Good I'm so sorry that I walked away after Lenin told me to thats his power he can command people to do whatever he want's with his voice" said Tara
"So that's what that is" said Peter realising that's why his voice reverberates.
"Why did you come here, Why did you come back after you promised me you wouldn't" said Tara.
"If Lenin found out you set me free he would have done far worse to you then what he has done to me" said Peter.
"Then you should have let him to believe that you are far too important for this. said Tara.
"Don't say that".
"But it's the truth, I keep having visions of future event's where you shape the future of the world" said Tara.
"What happens in these vision's?" asked Peter.
"I think it's best if I don't tell you cause telling you could change those event's" said Tara as Peter sighed in his head.
"Okay but can you tell me what's going to happen to me now?" asked Peter.
"Well Tori said that Colonol Zu has asked to see you if he ask's to see you it must be major, Can't say I've hear anything about it myself though" said Tara.
"What's he like?" asked Peter.
"He's far worse the Lenin ever will be he takes pleasure in torturing people and making them suffer, He's a sadist I'm worried that you have to meet him" said Tara.
"Why?" asked Peter.
"Because his gift is thunder and lightening and t is so powerful he could kill almost anyone and I'm worried that not because he can't kill you but what he can do to you mentally with all that torture" said Tara.
"So whats the plan then to get me out of here?" asked Peter.
"You must have absorbed Lenin's powers by now can't you order the guard to set you free" suggested Tara.
"Thats a good idea where are you now?" asked Peter.
"I'm at the cabin right now why?" asked Tara.
"When I get out of here I'm on my way there to get you out of here" said Peter as he stood up but immediatley realised that it was a bad idea as pain shot through his body as he fell backwards in pain back on the bed.
"You better get some rest first before you escape and you can't come up here you need to get away as fast as you can forget about me" said Tara.
"I'm not leaving you here" said Peter as Tara didn't respond Peter reasoned that she stopped the communication with his mind as he slowly got up and walked to the cell door and look's at the guard.
"Hey buddy let me out" commanded Peter with the reverberate voice as the guard look's at him and takes the key's out of his pocket and unlocks the cell door as Peter got out.
"Thanks if anyone asks tell them that I overpowered you and said that I was going to Moscow right now" commanded Peter as he turns invisible and walks away as the guard shakes his head as if waking up from a trance as he look's around and resume's his duty as Peter makes his way to the cabin but he see's Tori as he walks up to her and pokes her on the shoulder and whispers to her so they could plan their escape.
"It's me Petrelli I got out I'm heading to a cabin right now meet me at the tunnel entrance I will be there in a few minutes" said Peter.
"Why what are you doing?" asked Tori.
"Finding someone to take them with us" said Peter as he ran to the cabin where he opened the door and ran upstairs only to see Lenin shouting at Tara and notices the man with super speed is also here and still asleep.
"You were speaking to him with your ESP weren't you" shouted Lenin.
"No I wasn't I swear" said Tara who was looking away from Lenin backing away from him.
"You aren't as a good a liar as you think you are now tell me the truth" commanded Lenin as Tara looked as if she was trieing to battle that command as she blurted it out.
"Yes I was when he was in his cell" said Tara shamefully.
"And what did you say" commanded Lenin who was losing his patience.
"I told him that he shapes future events in the world and a suggestion on how he could escape. saaid Tara on the verge of tears.
"And how was that. said Lenin as he gave Tara a back hand slap as Tara's head snaps back wards as she falls over as this sends Peter over the edge as he grabs Lenin turns him around and punches him in the face sending Lenin back wards and falls over the desk as Peter pounces on him and punches away at him until Tara shouts in his mind.
"Peter stop" shouted Tara as Peter look's up at her as Lenin recovers and shoves Peter off and takes Peter down and punches Peter in the face. He goes for another one but he hits Peters head and cries in pain as he looks at his hand and it has freezer burns on it as he look's down at him and a frost surrounded Peter's head as Peter shoves him off and sends him flying against the wall as Tori bursts in.
"Peter what are you doing" shouted Tara.
"Getting you out of here as he grabs Tara's hand and then grabs Lenin and the man with super speed and teleports them to Moscowand drops off Tara.
"Go and find someplacesafe I'll be back soon" said Peter as he teleports back to pick up Tori and then teleports back to Texas as he appears in front of Thompson who was reading the paper as he looked up at them.
"Been busy have we Peter" said Thompson as he presses a button and gets up as agents storm in and points their guns at Lenin and the man with super speed as Thompson tells them to take them away leaving Peter and Tori.
"Well done you two with their abilities they could have been very dangerous terrorists you have done a good thing today" said thompson as he hands a check.
"thank you for your help Peter as usual you're a star here's your paycheck Peter we'll see you tomorrow" said Thompson as Peter nods as he leaves. He wanted to ask how Thompson knew where he was but decided to ask another time right now he was tired and wanted some rest and to smooth things over with Claire as he left Thompson with Tori alone.
"How was he?" asked Thompson.
"He was alright a little reluctant to help after I found him in Moscow and was acting strange asking if we've met before" said Tori.
"What did you say?" asked Thompson.
"Told him that I've lived in Russia my whole life" said Tori shrugging.
"Did he ever find out who you really are?" asked Thompson.
"He didn't have a clue" said Tori as she morphed into Candice as she had a hand on her hip.
"Very good well done" said Thompson with a smile.
