Sooner or Later
"Alright here we are, Now Ted don't just rush in lets take this one step at a time" said Peter looking at Ted who shrugs.
"Oh come on if we rush in and blow the place up they will never see that coming" said Ted.
"True but you will be blowing up what I need if you do" said Peter as Ted nodded.
"Okay remember Peter You need me around you if you want me to keep this pain of yours suppressed" said Tara as Peter nodded.
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah lets do this already" said Ted as he started walking towards the factory as Peter and Tara followed as Peter grabs Ted and Tara and becomes invisible making them invisible as well as they slowly walk along the corridors.
"So where is this file of yours?" asked Ted.
"They keep the files in a room just around the corner, So I assume mine will be there as well" said Peter.
"You assume, Haven't you heard that assumption is always the mother of all fuck ups, If you used to work for them maybe they kept it somewhere else" said Ted.
"If you have a better idea I'd like to hear it" said Peter.
"Will you to keep it down we might get heard" said Tara whispering while looking around to make sure no one is there as they make their way down the hall and to the room where Peter said the files would be. Peter looked through them until he eventually came to the file that say's Petrelli on it as he opens it and see's a disk with a load of paperwork in the file as he quickly look's through it and notices a few pages that has the title: Project Khameleon. Curious because that basically sums up his ability as he quickly searches through it and reads.
"Project Khameleon was a success and Linderman's men was right on the money when they said little Petrelli's DNA can reshape it's self, Anybody with powers we put in close proximity with him he can do it also. We put him with Bob's kid Elle to play with and he was giving off electricity like she can do. He even managed to copy Linderman's healing powers we put him with several other people with abilities that he has managed to absorb which include a man the Company got from India that has the power of astral projection which basically means the soul leaving the physical body and wander as an invisible spirit around the world he can even enter a person's dream. This was troublesome after he left his body it took hours for him to return to his body and we barely managed to keep it from the Petrelli's and Linderman but no matter how much he absorbed they didn't seem satisfied with what he as it's if they want something very specific for him to absorb. At this rate if it were up to me I wouldn't let little Peter live a normal life horrible I know but we keep little Elle here and thats only with electricity manipulation imagine what we'd have to do to keep Peter safe. Oh well at least Elle would have someone to play with, Lord knows what other abilities he will absorb as he lives his life like a normal human being whether he will know it or not. Plus what if he absorbs too much I have no idea what will happen if he has too many abilities that he will be able to control. I expressed my concern's to the Petrelli's and Linderman and they said they will deal with that, I hate it when they say that it usually means that they have something extreme in mind to get what they want..." Peter stopped reading as he couldn't bear to read anymore he then realises the reason they weren't satisfied with what he had picked up is because they want him to pick up something like Ted's ability. Just when thing's couldn't get any worse he find's out that his parents and Linderman have been plotting for him to blow New York since he was a kid. He kicked the nearest thing out frustration which happened to be a table as he was upset and on the verge of tears.
Peter what's wrong?" asked Tara concerned as Peter shoves his file in front of Tara and shows her the page as she quickly reads through it while he wipes his nose while sniffing as Tara finishes it and nods as she rubs his shoulder trying to calm him down while Ted look's at them dumbfounded.
"What is going on?" asked Ted.
"I have basically been a walking lab experiment since I was a kid thanks to my own parents who have been waiting until I met someone who has the capability to blow themselves up so I can do it, You basically" shouted Peter as he continued to smash stuff out of anger while Tara was looking down at the floor not sure what to say. She has been a lab experiment before as well.
"Peter I know how you feel" said Tara.
"How on Earth do you know how I feel" shouted Peter walking back and forth.
"Because I was a lab experiment when I was little. I was raised in a German lab and at least you don't remember but I have to live with those memories for the rest of my life" said Tara almost in tears as Peter gave her a hug.
"I'm sorry, I just go so angry about all this and you're right I don't remember and you do and I'm really sorry" said Peter.
"Hold on if you don't remember it do you remember a Haitian when you were little?" asked Ted as Peter thought about it trying to remember years and years back realising he does.
"Yeah I remember a teenager who was a Haitian years ago" said Peter actually remembering the man himself but everything before hand is just blank.
"That freaking Haitian" said Ted kicking the table.
"Why do you know him?" asked Peter.
"Yeah he erased mine and Parkmans memories he must have erased yours" said Ted as Peter nodded.
"So what now?" asked Tara.
"We have what we came for, We have your file you can read it at the cabin so can we blow this place up already" said Ted as his hands are starting to glow.
"Yeah alright let's get out of here" said Peter as he grabs ghis file and they walk out of the room and are heading for the exit but as they are walking down the hallway men in SWAT uniforms walk out and point machine guns at Peter, Ted and Tara as they held their hands up as Thompson moves in front of them pointing at them with a handgun with Candice behind him with her arms folded.
"Well Peter it's nice to see you again and our dear friend Mr Sprague, We were suprised when we looked through the security cameras to see that a file was floating in mid air but when we saw that the file was called Petrelli we figured you broke in and took a peak at your file which is very naughty of you Peter" said Thompson.
"You lied to me all this time, All the assignments you were just using me to do your dirty work" said Peter.
"We do whatever is necessary to get the job done to protect the innocent if that means manipulating a poor soul into helping us then so be it" said Thompson.
"And me being an experiment as a child what about that?" asked Peter.
"That was our employers decision to use you, We simply follow orders" said Thompson.
"So what happens now?" asked Peter.
"Well we are going to detain you and kill your friends here then wait for orders on what to do with you whatever they may be, We might erase your memory again and start from scratch or simply kill you to keep you from being a nuisance" said Thompson.
"So you will execute him like everyone else that you have ever captured" shouted Tara.
"If that is what we are told to do then so be it but this gun I'm holding is only a tranquiliser so I can't kill you right now" said Thompson as he points the gun at Tara.
"Wait no don't shoot her" shouted Peter as Thompson shot her with the gun as he tries to push her out of the way but is too late as the tranquiliser hits Tara as they land on the floor as Peter checks over Tara who slips into unconciousness as he turns to look at Ted who look's at him in shock.
"Petrelli your eyes are glowing red" say's Ted as Peter's vision then turns red as he look's around him and see's red again as he panics while everyone is looking at him confused and at a loss on what to do a Peter felt that sharp pain rush to his head again as he started screaming as he fell to both knees holding his head as he screamed while everyone was in shock or confused a they kept looking at eachother an Thompson wondering what on Earth do they do.
"What do we do sir?" asked a bemused agent.
"Put him to sleep" said Thompson as he aims his tranq gun at Peter but before he could shoot Peter suddenly punched Thompson in the face and sent everyone flying backwards using Telekinesis as his vision turns back to normal he look's around to see whats happened as if he didn't know what he had done as he panicked as he picked up Tara and handed her and his file to Ted.
"Ted take Tara and my file and get to that cabin" shouted Peter.
"And what are you going to do?" Ted shouted back.
"I don't know just get her out of here and try to wake her up as fast as you can" shouted Peter as Ted nodded and ran off carrying Tara and his file as Peter stayed behind looking at his hands trying to control another outbreak like that as Candice stumbles up and ran over to him.
"Peter whats going on?, Whats wrong with you?" asked Candice.
"I don't know" shouted Peter as his vision went static again as he look's around but all he could see was static in grey and white as he holds his head as Candice look's at him confused as Peter feels that sharp pain shoot through his whole body again as he shakes and screams violently as several agents get back up and aim with their rifles at Peter but suddenly the ground disappears beneath them as they all fall until their necks stick out from the ground as Thompson aims his gun at Peter and shoots several times but they were all sent away from Peter as Candice stood back.
"I'm losing myself" shouted Peter as his hands started to glow but his chest and torso started to glow blue with frost as then illusions were made from no where taking them to random places.
"I don't think he can control his abilities" Candice shouted to Thompson who nodded as he aimed his gun at Peter and tried to shoot again but they just flew away from him and Thompson was sent flying backwards crashing into a wall as Peter eventually stopped but he collapsed to his knees breathing heavily as Candice brought the illusion back to the factory as Peter slowly stood up.
"Peter you need help" said Candice helping him up as he shoves her away.
"Stay away from me leave me alone" shouted Peter he was in tremendous pain but he hates the Company to not trust them to help him as he teleports away leaving Candice alone as Thompson recovers while the agents try to get out from their hole's.
"Candice we have discovered that Sprague has a cabin in the Nevada Desert they said they were going there, I'm giving you the assignment to find Petrelli and bring him back here by any means necessary kill the girl and Sprague" said Thompson as he walks away leaving Candice to worry about Peter, She may never admit it to anyone but she cares deeply about him but if she defies the orders of the Company she has no where else to go as she has no other choice but to head out to the desert to find them as she thinks of a plan on the way there.
