Still do not own Heroes. Still never will. But I love them anyway. )

There is only so much a person can take. And even if they are stretched to their limits, the absolute end of their rope, they feel the need to take on more. That's what Anna had done, ever since her mother died. Well, in all honestly her mother was murdered. No more lying or denying it. The evidence was right in front of her in paint. Her destiny had come full circle. Now it was time to tell everything. Let everybody know everything. Angela's horrid words rang in her ears.
"You see, Anna, destiny called on you then and it still needs you."
She hated to admit it. Angela was right but for all the wrong reasons. The blood stopped dripping, it had stopped bleeding but not from the force of her nails still digging into her skin. She turned to face everyone, detemined and ready to let it all out. To let them know the truth.
"You're right," Anna said and caught Angela off guard. Quickly she took back the bewildered look and smiled slightly. "But... you try too hard. You try too hard to convince everyone else that you're right. You tried too hard to save the world. You tried too hard to get your sons in on what you've planned. You tried too hard to keep me on your side." She paused, looking around at the many faces. Her eyes fell upon the Sanders/Hawkins family. "You planned Micah. Maybe not his ability but you wanted to test some theories. You got DL and Niki together but you didn't expect them to really fall in love." Then on the Parkmans. "You didn't expect a cop could stop you. And yet, he did. Or at least helped." Molly and Mohindor. "A little girl and a geneticist from India. You could've saved Molly's parents but you wouldn't, said you couldn't when you could. And Mohindor, you could've actually helped his father, maybe even saved him." Then on her best friend. On Lexi and a sad smile came across her lips. "I'm sorry," she told her, "I should never have kept so many things from you." She took a quick breath and looked at the Petrelli brothers and the Bennet family. "Two completly separate families came together, bonded by one destiny. A destiny that probably wouldn't exist if I hadn't been here, working with the Company." They looked at her, confused.
"What do you mean?" Peter asked. She smiled at him.
"I've kept a lot of secrets from you, Peter," she said. "But I did it because I thought it was for your own good. Now I realize, it was hurting you, not helping." Anna held up her bloodied hand to show them all. Through the blood they saw no cuts. It had completly healed.
