I own nothing. HEROES is owned by the network that shall remain nameless. Love You Zachary Quinto.
Author's Note. I am graduating from High School June 4. I am so excited. I am going to celebrate by watching HEROES. LOL.
Ch. 14
Gabriel didn't go to work for the next few days. I liked that he was home so much. He had taken to following Nate around. He said that he always lost him. Maybe we were wrong, maybe it had nothing to do with Cypher. Gabriel seemed to beginning to doubt that Nate erratic behavior have anything to do with Cypher.
Peter and Erin seemed to have hit a rough spot since the disastrous family. From what Erin told me they were fighting all the time. Elle and I tried to rectify the situation but it seemed like an issue that they needed to work out themselves. Erin said that she still hasn't talked to Peter. She told us no to worry about it, it would all be fine. Peter also talked about their relationship difficulties.
"Grr, I don't know what I'm doing wrong" He told me one day.
"Well have you talked to her about it?" I asked.
"No, we just argue" He said.
"You should talk to her" I said.
"I know it's just that I can't tell her that I hate her parents" He said.
"You don't need to like her parents. You just need to tell her how you feel" I said.
"Peter, how do you feel about Erin?" I asked him after a few minutes of silence.
"I care about her a lot" He said.
"Do you love her?" I asked him.
"Yes, I love her" He said.
"Then tell her that" I said.
"I don't know" He said.
"Why not?" I asked him.
"Because I come with a lot of baggage" He said bitterly.
"Pete why would she care about your past" I said.
"How did you accept Gabriel" Peter asked.
"Well I realized that I didn't fall in love with Sylar, I fell in love with Gabriel. I was the happiest when I was around him. I figure that was more important then his past." I said.
"Thanks Gab" Peter said giving me a hug.
"Hang on I will get it" He said picking up the plate I dropped.
"I could of picked that up" I said.
"Oh come on" He said smiling.
"Grr just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't do anything" I said.
"Enjoy it! How was your doctor's apartment." Peter asked
"Great the baby is doing great" I said.
"Hopefully we find Cypher before Noah comes" He said.
"We don't know it's a boy" I smiled.
"I have a feeling it is, well I have to go?" He said.
"See you later Peter" I said giving him a hug
Gabriel and Peter went to follow Nate almost every night. One night they went out for five hours. Everything was always was quiet. Everything was quiet on Wednesday. At 7, Gabriel came in a panic. In his arms was a bloody Peter. I didn't know what was wrong with him. I helped Gabriel bring him to the couch. Peter was losing a lot of blood. He was moaning and was in a lot of pain.
"What happened?" I said getting some towels.
"We saw Cypher. He had a gun and he shot Peter" He said pressing the towel to Peter's arm. I was relieved that it wasn't his chest.
"Why isn't he healing" I asked him.
"I don't know. I think the bullet might have been poisoned" He said.
"What makes you think that" I asked.
"Look at the wound" He said. It looked really bad.
"Lets call Elle and Mohinder" I said.
"It hurts" Peter said whizzing. He was starting to sweat.
"Damn it Cypher!" Gabriel said.
"It's ok Pete, were going to get you help" I said. I make sure the second call was Erin.
The night went on like a film strip. Elle and Mohinder said that we should bring him to the hospital; there was nothing that they could do. They knew that they didn't have an antidote to any poison. We came up with a story to explain his injures. Erin was at Peter's side the minute she got to my apartment. We called the ambulance to take Peter to the hospital. The doctors were able to find the antidote to the poison.
"Is he going to be alright" Erin said. Her eyes were red.
"Yes mam, he should fully heal" The doctor said.
"We have to stop. Let the company do it" Gabriel said.
"I thought you didn't want that" I said.
"Gab look what happened to Peter. We are over our heads" He said.
"Maybe your right" I said admitting defeat. I knew it wasn't easy for him. He knew that he wanted to help Cypher.
"It is to dangerous for us to keep looking for him" He said. Gabriel clearly saw no other alternative.
"What are you going to do" I said.
"Call the company" He said.
"Why are you able to run free" I asked him.
"Well I am not a threat. The company doesn't know about Cypher" He admitted
"Why didn't you tell them?" I asked.
"I thought I could handle it, but I see now that I was wrong" He said.
Peter got out of the hospital two days later. He was giving a week off of work. I called Erin and Peter's house everyday to see how he was doing. I got the same answer every time. He was doing well. I was relieved that he was ok. Peter and Erin seemed to be getting along now. Whatever was happened I knew they would stick together.
"You have to calm down Gab" Gabriel said handing me ice tea.
"I know. It's just I am so worried" I said taking a sip.
"Well maybe this would cheer you up, I found a house near both Elle and Erin" He said.
"You mean we could move" I said excitedly
"Yep, besides we need more room for the baby. There is also a place where I could set up the new shop" He said. I had to kiss him.
"Thanks so much." I said
"Your welcome. I knew you would love leaving near our friends" He said. I laughed.
"What?" He asked.
"You said our friends" I said.
"Well me and Pete have been getting along since he was shot." He said.
"I know Peter has been so different since he was shot" I agreed
"Well him and Erin seem to be getting along better" He said.
"Everyone seems to be getting along better" I said.
