I know it's been absolutely forever since I've updated, I'm really sorry : )
Enemies to Lovers - Part 21
Peter, a voice says in the back of his mind as his father continues with his speech. Come on Peter, we can take him down. It's now or never.
"… My dear… bang…" Peter was only grasping bits and pieces of the dialogue now. There was a separate conversation going on in his mind and he couldn't focus on both.
Marie, when I say, the voice orders. Escape as quickly as you can. Lock yourself and Molly and Noah in the closet. Don't come out until you know it's safe. Whenever you're ready, he then says to Peter.
Peter turns his head to the side and makes eye contact with Matt, then nods curtly.
In a flash, Marie is out of Sylar's grasp and in the bedroom. Peter lunges at his father, but is blocked by a large man with spikes coming out of his face and hands and probably every other possible location. Matt is throwing punches at Sylar, who dodges easily, but appears to be amused by the battle and is in no rush to win.
Suddenly Matt and Peter are frozen; Peter hanging in mid air.
"You honestly thing you can take me?" Arthur asks. "Really? Have you seen who you're fighting? I have the most powerful of our kind on my side. And what do you have? The nurse who's yet to find his way and the ex-cop who's had more than his fair share of doughnuts."
"You're wrong," Peter whispered, unable to speak any louder due to the invisible restraint around his neck. "You are wrong."
"How? What have you got that I've left out? Two kids who's powers are purely defensive? A third who can't even walk. Maybe you mean Suresh. But he's passed out in the other room, and even if he wasn't, he'd be on my side. So who am I forgetting? Tell me Peter, who have I left out?"
"Me," Sylar says, smashing something heavy over his father's head.
Reviews are pretty : )
