Episode 9: Dreaming 1977
Voiceover of a deep aborigine's voice:Dreams are the images, thoughts and feelings experienced whileasleep. Throughout history, people have sought the meaning or purpose of their dreams, either it is a message or a precognitive prophecy from God, or dreams are pathways into delving into the unconscious. Enter 1977, a year filled with meaning and events that changed the world we are living in. A time of an ongoing Cold War, the year of the eradication of a natural case of small pox, and the beginning of a group, a group founded by special individuals that aims to change the world itself and tried to create a difference in the future. With these uncharted images that dreams give us, these dreams can show us a past filled with meaningful promises leading to a future of complete demise…
Peter Petrelli and Charles Deveaux, Unknown Place
Peter wakes up from his unconscious state with him wearing the same outfit and same hair style when he first journeyed with Mohinder to find Isaac.
"How?...How did this happen?" Peter says in surprise as he looks around him that appeared to be all white and nothing in plain sight.
"It's because we are in the dream world Peter," a voice says behind Peter, who is revealed to be Charles Deveaux in a wooden recliner.
"Cha…Charles?" Peter says in surprise, "How…How? You're supposed to be dead…."
"Yes Peter…I am dead in reality and such…whether we like it or not. But in dreams, I do exist…in dreams and in your heart," Charles says as he begins to stand up and continues, "You might not believe me Peter…but I do know one thing. In the end, love matters the most and that is what saved the world from Adam's plans. But now…I'm here to tell you…on how and why these events around you…happened."
The scenery suddenly changed into 12 persons sitting around a 13 chair-round table. Adam, Charles, Kaito, Angela, Victoria, Linderman, Maury and Bob are seen to be present.
"What's taking him so long?" Adam says in impatience when a younger Linderman says, "Don't worry Adam, he'll be here soon."
A person with glasses suddenly enters the room and says, "I'm sorry I'm late…the DA wanted me to do a case about a recently caught criminal."
"Is that?" Peter says in surprise as he looks at Charles, who nods.
"Looks like you're here already…old friend," Linderman says as he smiles, "Old war buddy, Arthur Petrelli."
"Dad…" Peter says as he continues to stare at his father with awe.
The scene suddenly stops as Charles Deveaux looks at Peter and says, "Peter, what you see now is what transpired thirty years ago …the founding of the Company."
"Founding…of the Company?" Peter says in surprise as he sees all the people in the room, "So…you, mom and dad…are all part of the Company?"
"Yes Peter," Charles replied as he saw Peter's face suddenly changes, "But before you react…I only joined as part of this organization in the impression that we are to save the world. At first we thought we were successful, but you'll see what happens afterwards."
Peter nods in understanding as the scene suddenly resumes unfolding in front of him.
"Hey Austin," Arthur Petrelli says as he sits in the seat in between Linderman and his wife, who he gives a small kiss in the cheek, "Good to see you're safe."
"There's no need to call me by our code names Arthur," Linderman says, "Just call me Daniel okay?"
Arthur nods as he looks at the group in the room, "Uhm…hi…I'm Arthur Petrelli, a former soldier in the Vietnam War together with Linderman here and I'm a lawyer of my own law firm."
"It's nice to meet you Arthur," Charles says with a smile and looks at Adam, "So shall we start the meeting?"
"Right…" Adam says as he stands up looks at the group, "To those who don't know me yet…I'm Adam Monroe and I thank you for coming here after accepting the invitations Daniel gave you here. To start things off I would like to tell you the true nature of this meeting."
Adam pauses intentionally that lets the other members look at him with curiosity.
"In one way or another, all of us in this room are special," Adam says while walking around the room, "Special in a way that we are all different…like Linderman, who has the ability to heal other people. And I believe that these powers did not come as a simple anomaly in our genes, but rather it is a gift we must use for the greater good."
"What do you mean for the greater good?" Kaito Nakamura says in a serious tone, "Are you suggesting we run around with capes just like that Superman of the Americans I presume?"
"Iye Kaito-san(No Kaito)," Adam says in Japanese, "What I'm telling is that we can use our powers to help other people just like us…to use and control their powers for the greater good."
"One question though…what powers are you saying?" Arthur asks, "I know Daniel here has the power to heal…but I don't have any powers…nor my wife has any powers."
"Actually Arthur…" Angela Petrelli says as she thumbs her handbag, "I've begun to experience these dreams that shows me…things that are happening in the future…just like this meeting…I think I dreamt of this meeting before…"
"What? You had these dreams…or whatsoever but you didn't tell me?" Arthur says in surprise to his wife as he felt Linderman's hand on his shoulder.
"It isn't her fault Arthur…she didn't want to be that way. What we can do is to be understanding and at least help her use her powers," Linderman says in a calming manner as Arthur looked back at Adam who was expecting for Arthur's interference to end.
"So…since you now know Daniel's powers and Angela's…surprising ability…may I know yours so I can find a way to teach you in utilizing them…if ever you have discovered your powers," Adam says as he earns a look from a black bearded man.
"Excuse me Mr. Monroe…I think before we…reveal our powers to you…can you at least reveal on what your powers are?" the Spanish man asks Adam curiously.
"Me?" Adam says as he takes a dagger from his pocket and places the blade on his right arm.
"What are you doing!" a woman shouts as she tries to walk toward Adam when she sees Linderman stand up and stop her.
"Just watch Ms. Pratt," Linderman says as Adam wounds his arm with a deep cut that suddenly heals.
"As the twelve of you saw…my power is that I can heal from any wound or injury…and it has given me the chance to live for hundreds of years," Adam says as he placed the knife at the table, "In short, I'm an immortal that survived the tests of time that I personally knew Takezo Kensei."
"What?" Kaito says in surprise, "You knew Kensei?"
"Of course Kaito…you think an immortal like me would not be…acquainted to a legendary hero of Japan," Adam says with a smirk as he saw the amazed founders of the would-be Company, "Now…that you know my power…can you tell me your names and your powers?"
"I'm Robert Bishop," Bob Bishop says as he takes a small ballpen from his pocket, "And let's say that I have the hand of Midas."
The ballpen suddenly turns into gold and Bob places it on the table.
"Turning objects into gold…an alchemist's dream during the Middle Ages," Adam says with a smile, "Who's next?"
"Think of a one number in a million…and I'll tell you what it is," Maury Parkman tells Adam as he suddenly adds in, "My name is Maury Parkman…and the number in your mind Mr. Monroe…is the number 9."
"Impressive!" Adam says in delight as he looks at the group, "Anybody else?"
The woman who tried to stop Adam said, "I'm Victoria Pratt…a biological engineer with the ability of manipulating genes that is quite handy in my line of work."
"A scientist…very interesting…" Adam says as Kaito Nakamura speaks, "I have the power to travel and bring people inside mirrors. Aside from that…I am also skilled in using a sword."
"Really? That I would like to see…seeing I'm good in fighting with a sword myself," Adam says as he looks at the remainder of those who haven't revealed their powers yet.
"I, Carlos Mendez, has the power…to give life and control inanimate objects," Carlos Mendez says as the chair of Adam suddenly walks around the room and return back to its place.
"Harry Fletcher, I'm like Reed Richards of Fantastic Four," a man with some white hair says as neck extends that makes his head reach the ceiling and go back in its normal position.
"I'm Paula Gramble…," a woman says as her voice changes into Adam's voice, "I can mimic other people's voices."
"That's fun," Maury Parkman remarks with a smirk.
"My name is Susan Ammaw," the woman says as she looks at Adam straight in the eye, "I have the ability to reincarnate myself that changes my physical body when I'm in the brink of death…so in a way…I'm immortal like you Adam, but I'm just one hundred and fifty years old."
"A different form of immortality eh…nice" Adam says with interest as he looks at Charles, "And what's your power Mr. Deveaux?"
"I can manipulate dreams my friend," Charles says with a smile, "I can give you nightmares or good dreams…I can even read memories of sleeping people half way around the world."
"So…I'm the only one here who has no powers?" Arthur Petrelli says in surprise as he looks at everybody around him, "Now I know how Batman felt when everybody else in his team had powers…"
"Don't worry Arthur…your powers will manifest in time. You just need to wait for not everybody discovers their powers right away," Adam says to Arthur as he looks at the rest of the group, "So we have an alchemist, a healer, a person who has prophetic dreams, a mind reader, a person giving life to objects, a biological engineer, someone who is very elastic, a voice mimic, another immortal, a mirror traveler…and a dream manipulator. That's quite a line up we have here…but anyways now that we know our powers…I'm here to offer you…or ask you something."
"What is it?" Bob Bishop asks in a business like manner.
"Remember my talk about these powers to help mankind? I'm offering or proposing that we create a secret organization that will help people like us and help mankind while not revealing ourselves," Adam proposes to the group, "Seeing some of us have our own businesses…we can use them as fronts in order for our small company won't be discovered."
"Hmm…this is quite hard…but how will we get the funds…to start such a group?" Carlos Mendez asks Adam, "Not like the others…I'm only a painter."
"Not to worry…Linderman's Casinos, Arthur's Law Firm, Kaito's Yamagato Industries can be fronts if they won't mind for the meantime…and with Bob's ability…we can have our own Fort Knox to support us."
"Hmm…not a bad offer, but how will we do it?" Kaito Nakamura asks Adam, "There has been no one in history to do…such attempt…so what will we do when we're part of this organization?"
"Well…our main objective first is to search for people just like us…and make them understand their gifts or abilities then we can help anonymously to our fellow humans afterwards in times of events that they might need us," Adam says as he sits back at his chair and takes out folders, "I've already chosen three locations that will be our…hide outs or facilities. One is in Texas under the guise of Primatech Co. that manufactures papers, a hidden facility in Kirby Plaza and a business office in Hartsdale New York."
"So what do you think of Adam's proposition?" Linderman asks the group of people inside the room as the room suddenly turns to white and Peter and 'Charles' are the only ones left.
"So that's how…the founders met?" Peter asked Charles, who nodded. Peter then asked his friend, "But does dad gain any…powers of any sort?"
"Your father does have powers…and he is one of the most powerful among us," Charles said as he informed Peter and the white background suddenly changes, "Now…its time for you to discover what happened a few months before Adam was incarcerated for almost thirty years. This happened"
An Arthur Petrelli in a tuxedo enters a room within the hidden facility in Hartsdale, New York. Inside the room are Maury Parkman, Kaito Nakamura, Adam Monroe, Daniel Linderman, Bob Bishop, Carlos Mendez, Angela Petrelli, Victoria Pratt and Harry Fletcher.
"Where's Paula and Susan?" Arthur asks the founders of the Company he is part of.
"Unfortunately they can't be with us here…since they are on a business trip to India to talk to Chandra Suresh something about the Shanti Virus Victoria Pratt here told us about," Linderman says as he looks at Arthur, "But on the bright side…your powers of having the maximum human potential will be put to the test."
"Maximum Human Potential?" Maury Parkman asked in surprise, "What's that about?"
"Well…Arthur here has the ability to excel…or be enhanced in every aspect of...human potential. He has super strength, super speed, increased healing…almost every power imaginable…he has it," Victoria Pratt informs the people inside the room, "Think of him as our very own Superman with multiple abilities, but he has limits of course…like he can't teleport and such…but he has reached the maximum of physical and mental aspects of human potential."
"So he can read minds like I do?" Maury asks as Victoria nods. Maury then smirks and says, "Looks like the guy who didn't believe he had powers…now has powers."
"Enough with the chit chat my friends," Adam says seriously, "Last week, June 25, 1977, a man named Roy Sullivan was hit by lightning for the seventh time, while he was fishing.(A.N.Roy Sullivan being hit by lightning 7 times is a fact) Seeing he survived these multiple events, I think its right for us to assume that this man has abilities that concerns with the control of electricity."
"Or the ability to have lightning be attracted to him," Victoria informs the group, I advise you to be cautious in approaching this man…unlike previous cases we don't know what his true abilities are."
"That's why instead of sending two people to go to this Roy Sullivan, I decided that Parkman, Mendez, Nakamura, Fletcher, Petrelli, Linderman and I will go and meet this guy," Adam informed the group.
"Why should we follow you?" Kaito asks the Briton, "It's always either your decision or Linderman's decision…don't we have a say in this?"
"It's logical Nakamura, he's the oldest and the wisest here. I suppose you give him some respect in his decisions," Maury tells the Japanese evolved human, who retorts, "You talk about respect, but you yourself left your family to join us. I think that alone doesn't give you the privilege to have me respecting your views."
"Why you!" Maury shouted as he drew out a gun to point at Nakamura when Linderman and Arthur Petrelli restrained Parkman.
"Stop it you two," Bob says while stepping in, "Be that as it may Nakamura and Parkman…but I think petty bickering won't help us in this situation. It tends to let you lose focus and be sloppy."
"Oh stop it you bunch of grown ups!" Angela manages to say after having enough, "If you are going to find this guy then find this guy! No arguments! Nobody is going to die if their opinions aren't heard!"
"Well you heard the lady men," Adam says, "We'll be leaving for Virginia immediately. The Company Jet will be leaving in an hour."
Adam then leaves the room afterwards.
The men suddenly file out of the room and left Kaito and Charles inside it.
"I'm starting to discover that this Company we've founded is a mistake. I feel that we've put the world at risk with this Company operating without the government officials on hand," Kaito says as he looks at Charles.
"Kaito my friend, will you please loosen up?" Charles says as he smiles, "As long as there is love in the world, nothing will go wrong. So cheer up, there will always be hope if every thing comes to chaos."
"I wish I had your optimism Charles…your opinions are the only ones I left agreeing on my friend," Kaito says as he begins to leave the room, "Have you heard of Adam and Linderman creating another organization within this group concerning about an evolved human military force?"
"I might've heard something about it," Charles replies, "I believe you have a plan to stop it?"
"No…I plan to counter-act it if anything happens," Kaito says as he left Charles alone in the room.
Peter and 'Charles' follow Kaito Nakamura, who accidentally bumps into a young man, who Peter recognized.
"Sorry about that…" the man says with a smile as he looks at Kaito, "Isn't that great…Kaito Nakamura in the flesh, it's nice to meet you."
"And who are you?" Kaito says with his eye brows raised, "Young men like you aren't supposed to be here."
"Being an empath does have its privileges," the young man says as he extends his hands, "I'm Stephen Friedrich Euler by the way, call me Steve for short."
"Empath?" Kaito says as he reluctantly shakes Steve's hand, "What do you mean by an empath?"
"I see you've met Steve here Kaito," Charles Deveaux says as he looks at Steve, "This young man here has the ability to…copy abilities of evolved humans around him. It's quite an amazing ability that he can be said to be the most powerful among us."
"I'm not really that powerful sir," Steve says as he looks at his watch, "Good lord just look at the time! I need to go to Ms. Pratt's office for me to…be studied a bit on how my powers really work since I can only do things…when I'm with other people so that when I'm done I can go back to my house and study for my practical in biology."
Steve then walks away from the duo and Charles looks at Kaito, "Nice kid that boy is. I found him walking around the streets one day when he accidentally absorbed Mendez's power that he had quite an embarrassing situation at the time."
"Well…that kid must not fall under the influence of Adam. Having him as another disciple of Adam will make Adam more powerful," Kaito says as he walks away from Charles, who says, "I don't intend for Adam to have contact with Steve…I don't intend to…"
The scene suddenly changes into the white background once more and Peter says to Charles, "So…Steve was once part of the Company?"
"Every one you know has at least had contact with the founders of the Company Peter…one way or another," Charles says as the background suddenly changes, "We are all but connected."
The scene suddenly changes into Arthur Petrelli and Linderman outside an apartment door with ttheir respective military issued pistols raised.
"This is just like the old times," Daniel says as he cocks his pistol as Arthur Petrelli nods and replies, "Yeah, just like the old time buddy."
Adam, Maury, Parkman, Kaito Nakamura and Carlos Mendez walked through the hallways of the apartment complex and assumed their positions outside the apartment door that Linderman and Arthur Petrelli were stationed in.
Kaito and Adam walks toward the duo war buddies and Adam says, "I'll knock on the door to see if he will be cooperative enough to listen to us. If he won't listen, then we'll have to use force to bring him in."
"And kill if necessary," Parkman adds in as he loads a couple of bullets into his pistol.
"Kill?" Arthur says in surprise, "That wasn't part of the job description!"
"Hey Petrelli…from what I heard from Linderman here…you are hardier than this. So I suggest you drop those moralities you have and we need the heroic soldier that we heard about," Adam says to Arthur as he knocks on the door, "Be prepared."
A man wearing a green bonnet, a green shirt and pants opened the door and says, "Hello, may I help you?"
"Actually Mr. Sullivan…I'm here together with a couple of associates to talk about something involving the seven times you were hit by lightning," Adam says in a British accent to Sullivan, who put his right hand in his head.
"Look…if you're another Briton…bringing a lot of guys that will create a documentary about the man who was hit by lightning seven times…I refuse," the man says as he is about to close the door when Adam stops the door from closing and says to Roy, "I'm not part of BBC. And we do know for a fact…that these occurrences are happening…because of special abilities or traits that you have."
"Wait…how did he?" Roy thought as Maury walked towards the door and yanked it open.
"We just know…because we also have same abilities," Maury says as he approaches Roy slowly as Roy backs down, "I , for one, can read your mind…and let you re-live your nightmares if you don't cooperate."
The group slowly enters the room and surround Roy, who is now seated in his couch.
"Who are you people? Are you a…freak organization of the government…maybe part of FBI or CIA that wants to experiment on me?" Roy says as he begins to fumble his arms with nervousness.
Adam sits in the chair opposite to Roy and says to the man, "We're not part of any organization with any initials nor the government has anything to do with us. We are an anonymous Company wanting
to help special individuals like us. But if you don't cooperate with us, I'm afraid we need to get you out of here…even if it took force to do so."
"Force? You'll use force?" Roy says as he stand up and walks toward a wall, "Well…if you guys can help people like me…then why bring a gun like the 'mind' reader has over there?"
"It's just a safety precaution my friend. There's no need to fret about it," Carlos says reassuringly when sparks appear in Roy's hands that came from the wall socket.
"You know…I don't believe you're going to help me or something, but I do know one thing…I can attract and possibly absorb electricity here and use it as SELF-DEFENSE!" Roy then turns around the shoots a lightning bolt with his right hand to Adam as he places his left palm on the wall socket.
Adam is thrown across the room by the blast as Parkman, Petrelli and Linderman raise their respective guns as Kaito raises his sword.
"Big mistake!" Maury says as he is about to pull the trigger of his gun when Roy suddenly thrusts his hand to the floor and electricity is thrown everywhere that it hits all of the Company Founders present.
Roy then runs out of the room when suddenly he felt the hand of Harry Fletcher grab his legs that makes Roy trip and crash to the floor.
Kaito stands up with his sword in hand and looks at Roy, "Without an electrical source, you can't use your powers against me."
Roy then raises his hands that are filled with electricity and says, "You forget that I absorb electricity…and store them temporarily. Farewell samurai!"
As Roy was about to shock Kaito, Kaito throws his sword to Roy, who dodges and fires the electrical blast to Kaito, who disappears out of Roy's sight. The electrical blast hits the couch that burst into pieces.
A katana suddenly is placed in Roy's neck and Kaito says, "For your information, I can travel through mirror-like surfaces…that when I threw my sword. I managed to store myself in the mirror-like surface of the blade and reappeared in physical form once more and trap you here."
"Bright thinking my Japanese friend," Adam says as he is standing up with the electrical burn in his chest healing rapidly.
"How did you…" Roy says in surprise as he sees Adam's burn disappearing.
"I can rapidly heal myself...and it takes more than a burn to kill me," Adam says as he looks at Parkman, who is beside him, "Knock him out."
"With pleasure," Maury Parkman says when suddenly Roy grasps the sword of Kaito and shocks the blade that in turn shocks Kaito.
Kaito falls unconsciously to the ground, as Roy manages to run away when Arthur Petrelli pushes Parkman out of the way and follows Roy, who is trying to escape in the fire exit.
"Roy! Don't let me catch you!" Arthur shouts as he enters the fire exit as hears Roy running as fast as he can to escape, "I'm giving you one last chance!"
"When hell freezes over!" Roy shouts as he suddenly sees Arthur Petrelli in front of him, "How did you…you have superspeed?"
"Nope…I'm like Superman," Arthur Petrelli says as he punches Roy, who crashes to the wall behind him.
Roy manages to stand up, despite of the pain, and manages to say, "You're…you're no Superman. You're trying to kill me!"
"No he's not," Linderman says as he is walking down the stairs with Maury Parkman, "He's just trying to help you. Parkman…do it!"
"SLEEP!" Parkman mentally commands to Roy, who says at the same time, "How is he helping when…I'm…sleepy…"
Roy suddenly falls asleep on the floor as Adam walks down the stairs and says, "I checked in with Fletcher and Mendez…they seem to be fine. Nakamura is just knocked out cold though. How did it go?"
"Arthur here caught up with him with his speed…and probably threw Roy to the wall and Maury and I arrive and subdue this…lightning man," Linderman informs Adam, who nods.
"Well…it took longer for us than originally intended to bag-and-tag him…but now that we have him…we'll be leaving. Nice job Petrelli and may I request or you to get Roy here upstairs to the others? Daniel, Maury and I would like to talk for awhile," Adam asks Arthur, who nods in understanding and carries Roy in his shoulder.
As Arthur was out of sight, Adam looked at the two Company founders in front of him and he says, "I think we're getting a bit…old for this stuff already. We're supposed to guide, lead and do other stuff within the Company. I think its time for us to establish a small group of individuals just like us to do this process of talking, taking and if needed…to kill uncontrollable individuals. You've seen what might happen when they don't believe…or when they don't see reason to our actions. They tend to become a danger to us and will probably kill is if needed. Besides, some of us are getting soft already…just like Petrelli. He may be a cold soldier and a fierce lawyer in the outside, but in the inside he had grown soft."
"I agree…" Maury Parkman says as he nods, "The problem is…who will be part of this group of yours?"
"I've already scouted some talent…and fortunately we do have some…interested individuals wanting to have this…morally grey job for the greater good," Adam Monroe says as he looks at his watch, "It's getting late…we must go."
The scene suddenly turns back to the white background and Charles looks at Peter and says, "This…bagging-and-tagging you just saw Peter…is already foreshadowing on what might happen in the future."
"The establishment of Organization XIII," Peter says as he looks at Charles in the eye.
"Correct…and now I'll bring you to the day…the day when it was founded,"
The background suddenly changes into the same meeting room wherein the Company Founders first met.
"My friends," Adam says as he is seen carrying a folder with him, "After seeing this…organization of ours slowly flourishing and accomplishing its goal to help other…evolved humans. I have seen the complications that might arise…if ever should something happen."
"What complications are you saying Monroe?" Kaito Nakamura asks in interest as he looks at the British.
"What I'm saying is the potential danger to…other people like us might bring," Adam Monroe says as he takes out a picture of Roy and other evolved humans, "As you see here, I have pictures of people just like us…given with special abilities that we have encountered during the course of…business. Some have no idea what they really are, some supported us, some are already part of this growing business…and some already are proven to be…using their powers for their own gain."
"Such people must be stopped…and if needed we must put the law in our own hands for the safety of the world!" Adam says with conviction, "That is why my friends…I propose of a small group within our organization…that would act as our representatives and would be the ones who will be bagging and tagging these…unguided individuals. This group that I'm talking about is composed of thirteen individuals I have talked to and they are interested to help us in saving the world from such evil hearted people. I already have Mr. Linderman and Mr. Parkman agreeing with my…proposal and I hope you do the same thing."
"Wait…so in short you are going to create a group of people who might be killing other people for the sake of the world's safety?" Victoria Pratt asks with concern to Adam when Linderman speaks up.
"Ms. Pratt...you must understand that sacrifices like this is needed in protecting the world from dangerous people like those we've encountered," Linderman explains to the woman.
"But you're still killing people…and it's not morally right to take another person's life," Paula Gramble adds in.
"I agree with the two ladies…why not try to…imprison them here or incarcerate them somewhere where they can't hurt anybody else?" Harry Fletcher offers.
"I second Harry's offer…that way we wouldn't be able to kill them unnecessarily," Carlos Mendez adds in.
"Well…Adam any thoughts about this issue?" Linderman asks his friend.
"Well…I will take into consideration about this offer of yours…but these men must pay the ultimate price…if it is unavoidable just like what we discussed in our previous meeting of New York exploding…and a certain Petrelli leading us all," Adam says as he looks at the Petrelli couple, "How is little Nathan these days by the way?"
"Well…he has learned how to say the alphabet already…and I think he's growing up to be like his father," Angela Petrelli tells proudly to the group, "And I also give my support in this…group of yours Adam."
"Well…if my wife says yes, then I too will agree," Arthur Petrelli says, "BUT! Only if I will be part of the ones managing this organization…that way I'll be able to watch out if ever…such situation of killing is needed in behalf of those concerned."
"Thank you for offering Arthur…I didn't know you were much of a human rights man," Charles Deveaux says to Arthur, who smiles and says, "I'm a lawyer. I'm supposed to uphold the law if I see it fit."
"Well…the request in…accepted Arthur. So…are there any other objections about this group I plan to create?" Adam asks his friends, who remain silent, "Very well. Maury, Linderman, Arthur and I will be heading this division is that okay?"
"May I suggest one thing?" Kaito Nakamura asks the British in the group.
"Sure Nakamura-san," Adam says as he acknowledges the presence of the Japanese business tycoon.
"May I suggest having a…more cooperative system in bagging and tagging individuals if needed? Since we are employing…normal people as part of our workforce, and they are working separate from us…I would like for our human agents to be paired up with a certain human so that relations between us and them will not be as tense as it is," Kaito proposes.
"Well…a risky partnership is seems Kaito, but I see your logic," Bob Bishop says, "If we are to promote good relations in our Company, one of us and one of them should be working together to show that even with these abilities we are not so perfect in a sense."
"Exactly my friend," Kaito says with a smirk, "Sometimes normal people can do things that we can't do…our agents not only get to be more cooperative to one another, not only the relations between us and them will be better, but the creativeness for the team to succeed in a certain mission gives our agents more creativity in approaching certain situations. That way, seeing we won't be exhausting our…Organization XIII in doing all these…tasks we can have them as a last resort if needed."
"Hmm…there's some wisdom in his words…and I suggest you hear his suggestions, after all a business entrepreneur like Kaito here always seeks ways into making things easier, yet accomplishing or surpassing some goals in certain situations," Charles tells Adam, who nods.
"Thank you for the suggestion and advice Charles and Kaito…and does anybody want to…object to their suggestions?" Adam asks the group hoping they would object.
"None…none at all," Carlos Mendez says with a smile, "To be honest, it is now that I truly believed we are doing the right thing after the advice of Kaito. It would really relieve us of the job of doing the field jobs all of the time."
"Very well then… this meeting is adjourned I guess? I have a defendant to defend two hours from now," Arthur says as Adam nods and the group leaves the room.
White background then envelops the scene and Charles' voice is heard by Peter, "Now that you've seen how we decided in establishing Organization XIII and the partnership system we have now. You'll see on how Deveaux Society started out."
The scene suddenly changes into the terrace of Charles Deveaux.
"I'm here already Charles…what do you want?" Kaito asks impatiently as he saw Charles Deveaux looking at the buildings of New York.
"You always felt that we made the wrong decision in helping the Company start off…that's why I'll be asking you to join me," Charles Deveaux informs his friend as he takes a sip from the wine glass in his right hand.
"Join in what?" Kaito says impatiently.
"Join me in founding an organization that we would lead. We would lead it to do what we think is right. We would lead it to counter-act any move of the Organization XIII that we think would harm the world itself. One of which is the destruction of New York," Charles Deveaux informs his Japanese friend, "What do you think Kaito?"
"You know my answer already…but how will we get members without the others knowing?" Kaito asks, "And speaking of members, do we have…members already?"
"Look behind you," Charles says as Kaito turns around only to see Steve Euler walking towards them, "We already have Steve in the Deveaux Society as our first member who will assist us in our goals.
"So we have a…power copier as our first member?" Kaito asks Charles , who replies, "Don't worry…we have it under…"
The background suddenly turns to white and Peter sees Charles Deveaux gasping for breath.
"Charles! What's happening to you?" Peter asks Charles with concern.
"Well…only having my…spirit…or dream form left here in the dream world…without a physical body…is harder than I thought it to be. I can't use my powers like I would in the real world, but I assure we will meet next time. But for now, you must do what is right, put your trust to those you need to trust…and please save the world…from the…from the…"
Linderman's figure suddenly appeared in the place of Charles and says, "The Second Coming is inevitable…whether Peter's blowing is stopped or not."
Charles suddenly reappears and collapses to the ground.
"Charles!" Peter shouts as he suddenly sees he is shining very brightly, "No…no…no…NO!"
Peter was about to explode when he wakes up in a bed and shouts, "CHARLES! NOOO!!"
"Peter!" a man shouts.
"No…Charles…is alive, but he collapsed…I need to come back!" Peter kept on ranting when he felt his face was his with a bucketful of water.
"Hey Peter," the figure says and the figure is revealed to be Steve as Peter's blurry view clears, "Don't worry about Charles…he's safe in where he is right now. But what you need to do is get a shower, eat up and get dressed since there is someone waiting for you."
"Good to see you conscious once more Peter," Neil says as he smiles at Peter, "I already talked to…Future Peter…and I know what we need to do now to save the world."
Noah Bennett and his family; New Orleans, California,
"So this is the safe house of Michael? It's big enough to hide an entire army or soldiers, "Claire says as she sees the mansion in the address Michael gave them.
"Well…at least you guys will be living comfortably as we are hiding," Noah says as he gets out of the car with his family and knocks at the intercom at the large gate. The gate suddenly opens immediately and it shows a smiling Michael in a red shirt and black pants.
"So you did come," Michael said as he looked around and saw the amazed faces of the family members as they saw the inner courtyard of the house, "Well…what are you waiting for? Get in the house! There's no bloody way we can tell if the Company has found us."
"Right," Noah says as he brings his family inside the safe house of Michael.
Sylar, Somewhere in the Nevada Desert
Sylar was pacing around the house when he heard a car approaching the area.
Footsteps are then heard by Sylar outside the door and Sylar opens the door to see a middle aged woman, a man with glasses wearing a blue lab coat, and a man with graying hair and glasses wearing black pants and a gray shirt.
"Who are you?" Sylar asks as he looks at the trio in front of him.
"Don't worry Sylar. We're not here to hurt you, we've come to pick you up," Angela Petrelli says as she smiles and holds Sylars cheek, "To pick you up to accomplish what you want most."
"What I want most?" Sylar says incredulously, "What do you think I want most?"
"Power Sylar…power," the woman says as she gestures to the two men behind her.
"What's that gesture for?" Sylar asks as he suddenly feels he can't move.
"For ensuring you'll come with us without any problems occurring," the woman says with a smile as she leaves, but suddenly she is being choked.
"I may be restrained, but you should probably know that I have telekinesis," Sylar says with a smirk, "So I suggest you release me and we'll talk."
"There's no need to talk," the man in the lab coat says as he raises his hands and Sylar is thrown into the wall, "Since I myself have telekinesis."
"Wha…" Sylar says in surprise when shadows begin to wrap him as the woman suddenly feels the grip on her neck loosen.
"Sylar…understand this. We are only doing this to help you and nothing else. Doctor and Anderson…finish this," the woman says as she gets inside the car.
"With pleasure," the man in the lab coat says as he takes out a syringe and injects the fluid in it into Sylar, who becomes unconscious.
The shadows holding Sylar disappear and the man in the lab coat says, "Let's pack him up!"
What will happen now that Sylar is captured by Angela Petrelli and Organization XIII?
What will happen to Peter now that he knows the past of the Company and Charles Deveaux is alive?
What will happen to Noah and his family under the care of Michael?
