Disclaimer: I don't own Peter Petrelli, Milo Ventimiglia, or Heroes, which is probably a good thing cuz I'd end up ruining it.

I don't know if this is good enough, no seriously I have no idea what I'm doing except that I would be interested in something like this. I'd like to thank the Hio for reviewing, btw I made some corrections, would you plz point out what you saw (so I can fix it, I'm not an expert). oh yeah and I did the run-on sentences on purpose (I don't think a person would wanna tell anyone that, so they'd be nervous.) I'd also like to thank everyone who has reviewed, and if you haven't already, check out my other Heroes story, Trust Me .

Feel free to point out the way you want this story to go and the stuff you want to know. I will try to fit in as much as I can. If my never-ending commentary annoys you, you can tell me I won't be offended (Promise), I'll stop, the talking, not the story, no offense taken.

I thought about where I wanted this story to go before I went to sleep last night, well for this chappie at least, so hope you like it!

Now…..On to Heroes goodness of the Charlie and Nathan variety (plans might change cuz I can't control my brain) *no murder me...pwease?*

Character Profiles (For the sake of this story)

Peter (Petrelli) Price: currently 8 and a half (as he'll remind you). 6 and a half in this current flashback. He has the power of empathy, to absorb the powers of others' through the power of emotions. About 4 foot tall, with big brown eyes, and an adorable mop of brown hair. Doesn't know a thing about his parentage, he graduated high school at the age of 8 and hasn't decided if he wants to go to college as of right now. He loves music, dance, art, and sports, because these are the times he gets to be a kid and just let go.

Nathan Petrelli: 34 years old, (if there are flashbacks, just count back), He just discovered that he can fly and that he has a son, Peter out there somewhere, who he thinks is alive. He also had two other kids, Simon (13) and Claire (11), he is married to Heidi. He is on a mission to find his son and is running for New York senator. (looks same as in the show)

Mohinder Suresh: 34 years old (looks the same as in the show), he is sort of an uncle to Peter, can be the friend or the disciplinarian. In the flashback, he is 32. He is a geneticist, same as in the show.

Simon Petrelli: Peter's big brother, even though he doesn't know it yet, he is 13 years old (5 years older than Peter), he is about "5'6", and had curly, dark brown, hair. He is in the eighth grade, captain of the basketball team and school president.

Claire Petrelli: Peter's big sister, even though she doesn't know yet, she is 11(3 years older than Peter), about 5 feet flat. She is in the sixth grade and a cheerleader.

Heidi Petrelli: She is Nathan's wife and the mother of Simon and Claire, she is a very empathetic person, and the accident never happened, so she can walk. She is also 34 and looks the same as in the show.

Isaac Mendez: he is currently 10 and a half year old (a little more than 2 years older than Peter). He is like Peter's big brother, very protective of him and loves the little guy to death, he also has a power which is yet unrevealed. He looks the same as in the show only tinier and (adorabler) more adorable. He is very smart, but his interests lie in art, he is also in the 9th grade. He is about "4'10". He thinks his parents abandoned him, but that is not true.

Rachel Macentire: She is Peter's age to the t, born on the same day and at the same exact time, they are inseparable and best friends. She also has a power that is unrevealed. She has wavy brownish blonde hair and is very smart, but is just in the 9th grade while Peter has graduated, and she is barely an inch shorter than Peter (a fact he doesn't mind rubbing in at all).

Charlie Macentire: Yes, he is related to Rachel, although he is aware that she is his granddaughter, because as far as he knew he didn't have any kids. He considers Meredith and Peter family and believes that they are both dead. He is an old man of about 60. He is about "5'11", with a huge gray beard.

Angela and Arthur Petrelli: Nathan's parents, they are very powerful and rich, they both have powers, but in this fic they actually care about family. They are pretty awesome parents, they are Arthur, 51, and Angela, 50.

Claude Raines: (I don't know why, but I loved this guy) He is like the hesitant mentor (like Dr. Cox and J.D.) and the gruff uncle that Peter's never had.

Meredith Gordon: May or may not be alive ('m not telling), if she is alive she is 34 years old, just like Nathan and Heidi. Looks the same as in the show.

Majority of this story will take place in New York and Texas

More characters may be added.

Peter….Price??

Chapter 11: The Day of the Fire Part II

Previously with Nathan and Charlie:

"Are you gunna tell your wife about Peter?" Nathan was saved from having to answer the question when the waiter walked up with their food, and the conversation was replaced with sounds of chewing and slurping.

When they had finished eating their food, the table was engulfed with an awkward silence, which was broken by Charlie, "So are you?"

Nathan pretending he didn't know what he was talking about, asked, "Am I what?"

"Don't play dumb, Are ya or are ya not gunna tell your wife…actually your family about Peter?" The old man was starting to get irritated.

"I don't know, I'm working on it."

"You're…you're working on it? He's your son, and more importantly why are you trying to find him when you can't even get yourself to acknowledge that he exists to your family? Nathan could tell that Charlie was livid, all the tell-tale signs were there, his face was red, his fists were scrunched up at his sides, and the vein popping in his forehead looked painful.

Hoping to stave off the rest of his rant and feeling a little offended, Nathan said, "By I'm working on it I meant that I'm trying to figure out how to tell her, not that I'm not going to."

"Oh. Sorry." Since the man looked truly sorry for misjudging him, Nathan said, "It's okay, so what happened next?"

"I went to sleep right after that and next thing I remember was the fire alarm going off."

8 years ago: Charlie's pov

Charlie awoke to the beeping of the fire alarm. He jumped off his bed, quickly grabbed his essentials, like his money and car keys, and then ran out the building using the fire escape.

When he got outside, he saw his neighbor, Thelma Pickle, and asked her, "What's goin' on Thelms?"

She sighed, putting her hand comfortingly on his shoulder, and said, "I am sorry Charlie." This confused Charlie, who interrupted her, "Whaddya mean, you're sorry, what happened?" He was starting to get worried, and that was in turn making him angry.

She looked at him pitifully and said, "The fire… it…it started in Meredith's apartment, Charlie. They…they found her body, but Peter… they…they couldn't find a trace of him."

Charlie slid to the ground, barely hearing Thelma say, "Charlie, are you okay?" Charlie mentally scoffed, okay? Was he okay? His family, all he had, Meredith, who was like his daughter, and Peter, who he'd claimed as his grandson, they…they were gone. Gone forever, as in never coming back, and with that Charlie Macentire's walls broke, and he did something he hadn't done since he was fifteen, when his mother had died, something he hadn't done in thirty-seven years, he cried.

Present Day

Nathan, seeing that the older man was about to cry, put his hand on his shoulder comfortingly and squeezed. "Its okay, Charlie."

Then when the man looked more like his gruff self, Nathan said, "So you're saying that…that they never found Peter, right?

Voice thick with grief, Charlie answered, "Yeah, we had a funeral for Meredith and a memorial service for Peter."

"So, isn't it possible that someone got him out? They never found proof of his death, Charlie! I'm telling you, he's not dead!" Nathan was getting excited, his son wasn't dead, he was still alive, he just knew it.

"Nathan, no he's dea…," and then he stopped talking as if he'd seen something…or as Nathan had guessed, remembered something.

"What...what is it, Charlie?" He asked urgently.

"I…I just remembered something. That day…I remember after they'd done a thorough inspection of the apartment complex, they couldn't specify the point of origin, but I remember one of the arson detectives saying that there were signs of forced entry and that there were signs of struggle. Nathan, I…I think you might be right." He looked much younger, Nathan realized, when he smiled, a smile of hope and excitement. It was the smile that was mirrored on Nathan's face.

"So you think that whoever broke into the apartment got Peter?" Nathan asked just to be sure.

"No, I…I think that….that whoever broke in…they broke in for money and when they couldn't find any money, they ...they probably tried to beat it out of Meredith, and when they didn't get any, they probably started the fire."

Nathan was confused, "What, then how do you figure that Peter got out of there alive, Charlie?"
"Well, I figure that they didn't know that Meredith had a kid, and I bet that Peter started crying, he used to do it every time there was something wrong with his mother, he just knew somehow that his mother was in trouble. And I bet that no matter how cold hearted those people were, no matter how desperate, they didn't have the heart to kill a baby, and raced in to get him." He answered.

"So, you do think that they have him?"

"No Nathan, think about it. If someone was so desperate for money, no matter how caring they were or how guilty they felt, they wouldn't take in a kid." He explained.

Nathan finally caught on and inquired, "So, how far to the nearest orphanage?"

…TBC…

(Do you still want me too?)

So finally making some progress! How was it? What do you think?…be honest…

So do you like the direction this story's taking? Reviews make me liable to update more...Jk. Still, if you see mistakes, point them out, also feel free to tell me things you wanna see, and I promise I will try my best to include them.

What would you like in the next chapter, More of Peter and Mohinder's first meeting, or Nathan's quest of finding his son?

Be honest, I would still appreciate your input and advice on how to make my writing better. More Mohinder and Peter back-story will be some time soon, you'll even get to see Peter's past but that isn't for another few chapters. Next Chapter is still undecided. Hope you like it, love Brownie…So what do you think about the character profile, good enough descriptions?

Once again thank you everyone on your reviews and keep reviewing. Reviews feed my muse…seriously...I am not even kidding. They inspired me to write 10 chapters in 7 days. ..Pwetty Pwease!!

*pouts* hope you like it! P.S real Heroes goodness later today!! Woo, hope you enjoy it, Brownie
