Episode 3: Visible
Niki Sanders, Lorelei Hanson, Michael Raines and Steve Euler, Unknown Place
Niki Sanders is seen eating her breakfast, while talking to a blonde haired lady at the same time. A man wearing grey pants, a white shirt that says Yatta and has a white/green farmers' hat is seen eaves dropping to the conversation of the two, when he suddenly interrupts, ""Hello Niki…I'm Steve Friedrich Euler, the man who really saved you, and not Michael over there," the man points to Michael, a young man by the door of Niki's room "The three of us here have unique abilities…and I myself have abilities that I use to help people like us."
Steve then sits down on the table and looks at Niki with his serious brown eyes, "Now you were saying about a virus?"
"A virus? What virus?" Michael asks in surprise.
"If you weren't listening earlier Michael it is a virus that takes away a person's abilities and slowly kills the said person," Lorelei tells to Michael in a as-a-matter-of-factly- way.
"And it's called the Shanti Virus," Niki added that earned a look from Steve, "Well that's what Doctor Mohinder Suresh calls it."
"Mohinder Suresh?" Steve asks out of confusion, "Isn't it supposed to be Chandra Suresh, the man who wrote the book on special abilities on Activating Evolution."
"Well…I don't know if you know yet, but Chandra Suresh died months ago…" Niki informed the white haired man, who looks down in dismay, "Was he a friend of yours?"
"No…not really, he was just a former associate of mine," Steve explains, " Well back to the issue, you say you contracted this…Shanti Virus right?"
"Yes," Niki answers.
"Is there possible to have a cure on it?" Steve asks Niki.
"Actually before I went off to rescue my niece and my son, I was contacted by Mohinder that he as a cure already…but…" Niki then realizes something, "Wait! Did you see a little boy escaping the fire I was in together with a teenage girl?
"Don't worry missy, they're alright. But I doubt that they know you are alive," Michael informs Niki with his hands crossed.
"Thank God they're okay…but listen thank you for the hospitality you've shown me, but I really need to go to my son right now. Who knows what might've happened to them," Niki informs the group, who leaves the room together with Niki and go out of a run-down apartment.
"Niki it was nice to meet you," Steve says with a smile and raises a hand that Niki shakes, "Just make sure no one knows where we live."
"Don't worry Steve…you can count on it," Niki assures Steve, who nods, "So I better leave…where are we anyway?"
"We're in Odessa, Texas. By the way, I have work today so I'll go with you Niki," Lorelei offers Niki.
"Really? But no thank you…I think I can go home on my own. It's really nice of you guys to offer though," Niki says in return.
"Oh well…I'll just help you get a plane ticket to your place ok? I have friends in an agency anyway" Lorelei asks Niki, who accepts. Lorelei then turns to the two boys, "Well I gotta leave now…maybe I'll see you guys sometime later."
"Take care of yourself Lory!" Steve says as he waves good-bye to the leaving women.
"Yeah! You better save your nice arse from trouble missy!" Michael shouts to Lorelei, who gives him the finger, "Freakin' woman still hates me…but one day she'll learn to like me."
Steve then hits Michael in the head, "Don't get your hopes up kid, you'll probably get disappointed."
"Well you never know…besides I'm not really a stick to one guy," Michael tells the departing Steve amd he then follows the older man.
"Yeah, because you don't stick to one but stick to one million," Steve jokes to Michael.
"Bloody right you are Stevie!" Michael exclaims but then becomes serious, "Say, looks like the Organization XIII is back in action."
"What makes you say that?" Steve asks Michael with his brows raised.
"Let's just say I checked your e-mail this earlier and found a message written to you by a Lucky 7 member named Kira," Michael explains.
"Oh really? I didn't know about that," Steve says while pretending he is clueless.
"Yeah right…Cuz' you cut your friggin' connections from the group right?" Michael says while leaning at the wall, while looking at Steve.
"Yeah well...I doubt the info though…Still if they did come back, then we better lay low. Chances are those guys will be running around and try to take us out of the competition," Steve tells Michael, who nods, "I'd say you watch at Noah Bennett's family in Costa Verde. I heard that he's been reinstated back into the Company itself, but Kira has other plans for him."
"So you are finally going back to Lucky 7 huh?" Michael says with his eyebrows raised, "This Organization XIII must be friggin' dangerous enough that this Kira guy needs you."
"Yeah well…can't help it, but the world's at stake….by the way to make the record straight I'm not rejoining them…just helping them," Steve explains to Michael sternly.
"Whateva' rocks your boat Stevie," Michael says with sarcasm.
"Anyways, I want you to keep an eye out on Claire Bennett. Kira mentioned that Bennett was fearing for her safety. You might as well try to befriend her and protect her if anything happens." Steve orders Michael, who becomes delighted.
"Really? That's cool! If you just saw her pictures, I'd say she's one of the cutest things ever! Hah! Lucky me I get to see Bennett's beautiful Claire-bear meself," Michael then turns around to leave, but a hand touches his shoulder.
"You be careful Mikey, you may be your father's son, but it doesn't necessarily means your'e as good as him when it comes to combat," Steve informs his young friend.
"You do remember that I can't be caught with my super speed right," Michael then gives smile to Steve," Besides I had a good trainer…and his name is Steve."
The young youth blurred out of sight and left Steve, who has a smile at his face, "You really are like your father. A European hotshot, who never backed out a challenge…I wonder where you are now, Claude Raines."
Bob and Elle Bishop, Parkman, Petrelli Bros., Neil, Mohinder, Molly and Maya, Primatech Facility in Odessa, Texas
The group walked through the halls of the Company Facility in Odessa, Texas and entered Bob Bishop's room, wherein an Angela Petrelli is sitting behind the desk of Bob.
"So you're finally here," Angela greets Bob Bennett and sees the group that accompanied Bob and she narrowed her eyes when she saw Nathan, "Well…that's quite a number of people you brought here."
"How could have Nathan survived?" Angela Petrelli thought when she saw the face of Matt Parkman changed, "Matt…don't say a word or you will regret it."
"What are you doing here Angela?" Bob Bishop asks his friend.
"Well I have something to tell you," Angela Petrelli then gestures to Bob to come closer, "With privacy please?"
The group then leaves the room and Matt Parkman looks at Peter and sends a thought to him, "You are not going to believe this Peter…but I think you're mom has something to do with the attempt on Nathan's life."
"Mom? That's impossible! Mom can't do that to Nathan" Peter thinks but is cut off by Parkman.
"Peter, I also don't believe it, but I heard it directly from your mother's thoughts…she even threatened me," Parkman told Peter in his thoughts.
"Matt…Peter…is there a problem… both of you look like you're thinking deeply," Molly says as she goes near Parkman.
Peter and Matt are caught off guard by this observation of Molly.
"It's nothing Molly…we're just reflecting on what happened," Matt tells Molly with a smile.
"So what are we doing again here?" Nathan asks the group.
"Well we are supposed to get some answers from Bob…but then your new friend Peter…suddenly blurted out that this Organization XIII will lead to the doom of us all," Mohinder recapped for the group and turned to Neil, "And I mean no offense to you…but since that statement of yours…the trip to here in the facility was very quiet."
"I understand, Bob looked like he didn't have an idea that Organization XIII has returned," Neil informed the group.
"How do you know all this?" Elle asks the teenage youth, "Do you have a special ability we should know or something?"
"Well Elle…Neil's ability is quite hard to explain…but to put in simpler terms he has the ability to…" Peter is cut off when Bob Bishop exits the room and calls for them to come into his office once more.
The group sees Angela Petrelli browsing through a stack of folders from Bob's table and looks at the group, "So Bob informs me here that you needed answers,"
Peter was the first to step forward, "Like how you ordered Organization XIII to shoot Nathan."
Bob is shocked by the news and Angela replies in a calm manner, "I beg your pardon Peter, but why would I order a member of this organization to shoot Nathan?"
"Because you don't want this Company exposed just like Bob did to Noah when he forced him back into business to keep Claire silent." Neil informed the group.
"What!" was all that Mohinder could say, "You blackmailed Noah into joining you guys again?"
"And why Ma? Why did you order them to shoot me?" Nathan asked his mother, "And don't give me that I'm doing this for the best excuse since that guy tried to murder me two times!"
"Well, well well…you really want to know answers," Angela throws the folders she was holding to Neil, "Here I'll let your new friend, who knows almost everything, to read what is in there."
Neil opens the very first folder and sees the picture of Chris Johnson and the ability he has. The next folder contains the details of the assassination of Nathan Petrelli and discovers something shocking.
"Peter…Matt, your mom didn't order the assassination of Nathan." Neil informs the mind-reading duo.
"That's impossible! I read what was in Mrs. Petrelli's mind herself," Matt protested.
"Yeah, and besides…Ma could just have printed that folder just now to keep us blind from the truth like she always does," Nathan tells the group coldly.
"I assure you that is true," Bob Bishop enters the conversation, "Yes, Angela was the one who contacted Chris there to shoot at Nathan, but she was the mission handler for your brother's assassin."
"Mission handler?" Mohinder says confusedly, "If that's the case…then somebody higher than Mrs. Petrelli ordered her to assassinate Nathan."
"That can't happen," Peter said, "From what I remember Adam told me before, Mom, together with Bob, Maury, Linderman and others are the Founders of the Company. Surely nobody is higher than mom right."
"This is where Organization XIII comes in," Neil says as he closes the folders in his hands, "Mind of explaining Bob?"
"Well…it is quite a bit long explaining what Organization XIII is, but to shorten on what it really is I must explain on why it was formed," Bob Bishop then takes a picture from the shelf that shows the picture of the Twelve Founders of the Company, "During the start of the Company, everything was running fine and smooth, but until there came a time when Adam, Linderman and Arthur Petrelli came up with an idea of creating an Organization within the Company that will manage the search, protection, training and sometimes the assassination of people with special abilities."
The group began to listen to the leader of the Company.
"Thus Organization XIII was formed by these three founders. The Organization originally had 13 recruits that are all revealed to have special abilities that are said to be powerful. The group always moved in groups of two with the one extra member as either the back-up, like the Company is doing right now when it comes to bagging-and-tagging a person. As time passed, the Company grew in numbers employing non-powered humans at the same time. Two founders, Charles Deveaux and Kaito Nakamura slowly saw the growth in power of this Organization XIII and tried their best to remove it from power for
Kaito thought that the group might one day be powerful enough to overthrow them and conquer the world with it. So the Company decided to use this Organization as a fail-safe only and if- only that the Company is weakening and it would only lend it's support and help to make it recover from its weakness. But as…"
Neil then interrupted Bob's explanation, "But as time passed by, the Organization XIII became far more secretly involved with certain matters that they suddenly became the power backing the Company themselves. They had the resources, the powers and the will that they needed to be on top and with the Company weakening, the Organization now found its way to the top and it will slowly take control of it."
"How did you know that?" Angela asked in surprise, "You know an awful lot of things young man and if you don't tell me how you know them I won't let this discussion continue!"
"Why Ms. Petrelli? Are you scared of me knowing a lot of things?" Neil asks the older woman, "For your information, how I know them is solely mine, but I assure you I won't do anything that would harm mankind itself. That job alone will be carried on by Organization XIII and I plan to stop it."
"What do you mean…something that would harm mankind?" Maya speaks out.
"Is it the Shanti Virus?" Suresh asks Neil out of curiosity.
"That's not possible Mohinder because I destroyed it already," Peter informs the doctor, who is relieved.
"Then what is it?" Nathan blurted Neil, "We know for a fact that you came from the future and stayed here so save us all from what would happen, but we can't help you if you won't tell a single damned thing! I was almost killed by nuclear burns in saving the world, I was almost killed in revealing the Company and if you don't tell me now the cause of what might kill me and the people who are in this room you better tell us now!"
"Nathan…calm down," Peter restrains Nathan, " Neil…you better at least tell us on what will happen in the future or we can't really help you."
"The future?" Angela Petrelli asks, "This kid is from the future."
"That explains why he knows a lot…you must bend time and space like Hiro does do you?" Mohinder interestingly asks Neil, who shakes his head.
"My power can't be compared to Hiro or it is not as powerful as Peter's…but I know for a fact that all of you people standing here…will be killed by someone far more powerful and far more dangerous than Sylar himself and possibly…Peter Petrelli."
Noah Bennett and Kai, Outside Bennett's Residency, Costa Verde
"So I take it that this is where we part Kai?" Noah Bennett asks his partner, who is wearing a new set of purple tuxedo and with matching pants.
"Yes Noah…even though it disappoints me greatly that we didn't manage to catch that Kira…" Kai says to his new partner, "So I'll leave you to your life for awhile and wait for further instructions."
"No problem," Noah replies and heads off to his house.
Kai then re-enters his Rolls-Royce and brings out his phone, "This is Kai. I've just returned the father to his home. What will we do next?"
"Hmm…I just analyzed the situation in Japan and I must say we must move on to find the one man we know who is part of this Lucky 7 that remains alive," a serious voice replies to the man, "I will send the Doctor and his partner to search for the Invisible Man."
"What about Kira?" Kai asks.
"You will go back to HQ and stay here to await for more instructions. I have sent your partner already to get ready in Japan…time will come for him to take the son of our enemy."
"I understand," Kai replies, "Kai out."
In a dark office somewhere
Inside a dark office, with only a desk lamp as a source of light, a man sitting on a priceless office table closes his phone and puts it in his pocket. He then presses an intercom button on his table and a man with glasses enters the room and speaks, "At last after an hour's worth of waiting you let me in."
"What do you need?" the man on the desk speaks in an emotionless and cold tone.
"My partner just successfully tracked the man we've been looking for the past year since Noah Bennet found him again," the man with glasses said, "I wish to have a strike force to aid me in capturing him."
"Your request is denied," the man replies, "Both you and I know your partner's ability is the only ability that can catch him. Now leave before I assign this mission to another."
"As you wish," the man replies and leaves.
Back to the Petrelli's, Parkman…and the rest of the group in the Facility in Texas
"Someone with an ability that surpasses Peter?" Angela says in shock, "I thought that Peter has always been the most powerful among all of us."
"Yes…but apparently being someone with empathic mimicry can't really face this man alone," Neil said with seriousness, "He is the one that caused the madness that we have in the future and I won't say who or what will really happen, but the fact you know someone can kill Peter is already enough."
"So I died in the future?" Peter asked Neil, who nodded, and Peter began to think "That's why Hiro said I should find Claude and strengthen myself in mastering my powers more. Plus, I should gain allies with powers so I can have more of an advantage to counter whatever power this enemy may have ."
"I must leave for now…" Angela Petrelli said and left the room.
"And we must leave too Neil…" Peter said at the same time his mother left.
"What Pete? And where do you think you're going?" Nathan asked his brother.
"I must find somebody…I think I understand a bit on what might happen in the future." Peter said with renewed confidence.
"I see…we're probably going to see him right?" Neil asks Peter, who nods, "Good…I always wanted to meet that guy."
"Who is that guy?" Matt Parkman asks.
"Claude Raines," Peter said with a smile.
"Claude? But I thought he is dead," Bob said in a surprised way.
"Apparently he has been hiding these years…and if we are to meet him Peter there is not much time!" Neil informs Peter
"Why?" Peter asks.
"Because he's the first to die among us," Neil informs the student of the invisible man.
Hiro Nakamura and Ando, Japan
Hiro Nakamura and Ando are looking at the grave of the deceased Kaito Nakamura and pay respects to him.
"Father…I have avenged you already," Hiro says in Japanese, "Now I must leave you for now and hope you keep watch on the grave where your murderer is buried."
"Let's go Hiro," Ando tells his friend, who leaves with him but they both stop when they see a Japanese man that is 5'8 foot tall and wears a red long trench coat. The Japanese man is seen wearing black tinted shades and has his mouth covered by the high collar of the coat. Behind the man they see a long hilt of what seemed to be a sword and the man also has black hair with strands of gray.
"Still mourning for your father huh," the man says in Japanese, "My name is Hirohito Nakayama. I'm an old friend of your father."
Neil and Peter Petrelli, In the middle of an unknown forest
"Neil…where'd did you just brought me?" Peter asks his friend as they are trekking through the forest.
"We're in South America...when I was in the future, my partner when I was in the future version of the Lucky 7 was the partner of Claude during this time in the past and they hid here before they were attacked," Neil explains to the older guy.
"I see…so you know where they are don't you?" Peter asks once more.
"Well…I do really know since before I came here, I knew where to go, who to trust and what to do already," Neil assures Peter.
"Good…but you think it's kind of wise in leaving Nathan and the others there. They are still in the Company you know," Peter warns Neil.
"Don't worry…all we have to worry about is that…" Neil then stops in his tracks and raises his right arm, "Stop…they know we are here."
"Who?" Peter asks silently.
"Claude!" Neil shouts and draws his sword while seeing Peter look at his back and sees Claude charging at him with a stick.
Peter stops the stick in mid-air with his telekinesis and pushes Claude away with it.
"So Peter…learned how to use them powers eh?" Claude remarks, "I would personally congratulate you for finding me…unfortunately you just walked into a death trap."
"Peter fly above the ground!" Neil says to Peter, who levitates above the ground and sees vines heading toward the direction of Neil.
"Neil at your back!" Peter shouts.
Neil then spins around to cut down the vines heading towards him but then five trunks of wood grow out of the ground and head toward Neil's direction at a fast pace. Neil vanishes from his spot and appears in a branch in a tree.
"I know your ability at its best Derrick!" Neil shouted, "And I know you are hiding in the fallen trunk right in front of me!"
A man with brown hair, white shirt with a military combat jacket and black pants suddenly appears to be phasing out of a fallen large trunk and looks at Neil, "How did you know my name?"
"Yeah how in this bloody world were you able to know his name?" Claude demands from Neil.
"Simple…I met you from my future," Neil stated in a emotionless manner.
"Really?" Claude says out of disbelief and faces his old student, "Hey Peter…is this the guy you're talking about who can stop time, teleport and travel through time? I thought the guy was freakin' Japanese."
"Well…let's say Neil here is a new guy from the future, who has similar powers to Hiro," Peter explained to his old friend, who looks up at Neil.
"So what's his power?" Claude asks.
"Its hard to explain…you won't really understand" Peter says as he scratches the back of his head
"Try me," Claude says as he comes closer to Peter, "I've seen more powers than you did power absorbing guy…so what's his friggin' power?"
"It's something called dimension manipulation," Peter explains.
"For once, you're damn right! I don't understand even an inch of his power," Claude then looks at his partner, whose eyes are dead locked Neil's eyes, "Hey Derrick! Come here I want you to meet Peter here!"
Derrick nods at Claude and comes closer to him and looks at Peter, "I'm Derrick Ferry. It's nice to meet you Peter."
"Well Peter…as you see this gentleman, who controls wood, vines and anything that is categorized as a plant. He can control it." Claude then looks up to find Neil, but instead seeing him walk right behind Peter, while returning his sword back at it's sheath, "So who's the kid from the future?"
"Name's Neil, and Claude and we need your help," Neil informs Claude.
"Don't tell me it's another power problem of yours exploding guy," Claude addresses Peter.
"No, it's about Organization XIII and they are coming right now," Peter informs his friend, whose face pales.
"Organization XIII? Damn S&T! Follow me and Derrick we'll talk this out in somewhere safer," Claude tells the group and they walk through the forest.
Micah Sanders and Monica Dawson, Dawson Residency
Monica Dawson is seen bringing a tray filled with a plate that has lunch on it to a room and she knocks on it.
"Micah! I know your Mom has passed away, but Micah if you won't eat you'll probably starve and join her," Monica says as she tries to convince her cousin to open the door.
"That would be better so I will be with my family soon, so leave me alone!" Micah shouts back at Monica.
An old lady then comes and takes away the tray from Micah, "It's okay dear…he needs sometime to grieve after all what has happened to him…he needs some time to be alone."
"But Nana…he hasn't gotten out of that room since we came back," Monica reasons out, but then hears a knock from the door, "I'll get it."
Monica opens the door and is surprised with what she saw, "Aunt…Ni…Niki?"
Niki Sanders is seen in the doorway and is catching her breathe, "Where's Micah?"
Niki Sanders suddenly collapses on front of Monica.
Claude, Peter, Neil and Derrick, South American Forest
"So you're sayin' that those sick guys from Organization XIII, to whom we told to sod off 7 years ago are now back in action?" Claude asks Peter.
"Well…if that's how you interpret it…it's a yes," Peter answers Claude.
"You sense anything yet Derrick?" Neil asks the present counterpart of his partner in the future.
"No not a clue…but wait there's a black vehicle coming!" Derrick informs the group.
"How in the world you knew that Derrick can sense anything as long as there are plants around us?" Claude asked the youth from the future, "I just knew that just now."
"I was his partner in the future," Neil said as they ran towards the intruders.
Two unknown men, South American Forest
"So is this the area Conner?" a silver haired man wearing glasses and a blue doctor's coat with white shirt and gray pants inside it , who was exiting a black SUV asks a spiky haired man who is wearing gray sleeveless shirt and black baggy pants.
"I'm quite sure Doctor," the man named Conner answered the man wearing glasses and two crows perches on either shoulder of the man, "You two go around and search for people…if you see them, warn us."
The crows then leave and the man wearing glasses approaches Conner, "So the hunt begins?"
"So it does," the man answers.
