Author's Notes: Heroes, it's characters and such is owned by Tim Kring and NBC and the rest of the OC's here are mine for the taking. And let's celebrate now that Heroes Season Three is now on air! Now on with the story!
Episode 12: One of us, One of Them
Mohinder's voice is heard: In the ongoing search for self, there are days when we learn something genuinely new. Something uncovered, hidden, that we never knew was there.
Tracy Strauss, Robert Malden, New York
Tracy Strauss is seen waking up and looks at Governor Malden fixing his tie, "Is it too early to have a meeting?"
"Our Junior United States Senator, Gerald Dickinson, has died last night," Malden says as he looks at Tracy, "And I'm going to the office to check how things are being tackled now there. I expect we'll find a good candidate to replace him Tracy?"
"Of course Governor," Tracy says as she stands up and wraps a bathrobe over her body and sees Governor Malden leave.
Tracy then sits by the table on the window to see Malden leave in his car. Tracy then looks at the single rose in front of her and touches it. The flower suddenly freezes and Tracy's eyes widen and she knocks the flower vase to the ground and runs to the bathroom.
Mohinder's voice is heard once more: Something that surprises us. And on that day of self-discovery, the question remains: What kind of person are we? Does the hero, or the villain inside us, win the day?
Angela Petrelli, Sylar, Primatech Research, Hartsdale, New York
Angela Petrelli is seen walking into a tied Sylar's room and she sits beside Sylar's bed.
"My sons have been a disappointment," Angela says with distaste as her tone suddenly changed into an affectionate one, "But you…I can give you what a mother can give to her children. Inspiration, care and love…"
"How can you be my mother?" Sylar says in a raspy voice.
Angela unties Sylar's hands and she looks at Sylar's face, "But I am dear and…I'm sorry to have given you up for adoption…but I'm here to make it all up. Because you are indeed very special…and need to be strong for what's to come. Bridget! Come in here please!"
Sylar breaths heavily as a woman enter the room.
"My friend here Gabriel is Bridget. She has a very special and handy ability. She has the ability to see an object's past. To know where it came from, what happened around it…and who touched it," Angela informs Sylar as she takes out the I.V. unit from Sylar.
"What's she going to do to me…" Sylar says as he looks at Bridget.
Angela stands up and walks by the doorway, "She's here to feed you…"
Bridget looks in surprise and tries to run for the door, but she is telekinetically thrown by Sylar to the wall. Angela closes the door and leaves the area as a shout of a woman is heard throughout the corridor.
Claire Bennet and Michael Raines, New Orleans
"Elle did what? You let my father be kidnapped by Elle??" Claire says angrily to Michael, who backs away a bit.
"Not exactly…" Michael says nervously as he is cut off by Claire before he can finish his statement.
"Not exactly? Then where is he if he's not captured? He's not the type of father I know who'll just get out of the house for fresh air when the family is in…" Claire says sternly to Michael as she hears a familiar voice, "That's enough Claire."
Claire and Michael look from the direction from where the voice is heard and Claire runs to the man she calls her father.
"Dad! I thought…I thought you were…" Claire says to Noah, who shushes her.
"I'm alright Claire…and I returned because we have more serious problems up ahead. Follow me," Noah says as he leads Michael and Claire into a small office and takes out several folders with pictures of people in them.
"A few hours after I was captured by Elle…Sylar appeared in the Company and faced Elle in combat. She manages to send out a powerful shockwave just in time to stop Sylar before she was killed…but it led to the disabling of the security systems…that helped release the prisoners of Level Five."
"Level Five? Open? Are you serious?" Michael says as he looks at Noah in surprise.
"Yes…I'm afraid that 12 of them has escaped," Noah informs Michael, who runs his hands to his hair and the speedster says, "I gotta tell Steve…see you guys later."
Michael suddenly speeds off and leaves the household.
"What's Level Five dad?" Claire asks Noah Bennet, who sighs and fixes his glasses.
Noah then looks at Claire seriously and begins to let her scan briefly the folders in his hands.
"Just before you were born, I was finding these people with special abilities and I locked them all away before they could hurt anybody," Noah says as he shows her pictures of several prisoners, "Because these twelve criminals will kill, they will terrorize…and they will cause unimaginable destruction to the world. They're villains Claire. And it is in Level Five where the Company keeps them safe, but now that they have escaped. It would be like twelve Sylars running free. That's why I have to tell you that I must leave and put these criminals back to their cages."
"But dad what about…" Claire says as Noah shushes him.
"I'll be back soon. Don't worry. I'll have help in capturing them and I also invited a person to help protect you guys," Noah says as he heads to the doorway together with Claire and he opens the door and reveals Meredith Gordon just outside the house.
"Mo…Mom?" Claire says in surprise as Meredith approaches Claire and both of them hug.
"I leave my family to you Meredith," Noah says as a helicopter lands in the area and Noah gets on it afterwards.
Neil, Future Peter, Leonard Grant, Nathan, and Gael Cruz, Outside Primatech Facility.
Five persons appear outside the Hartsdale Facility and walk towards the Facility in front of them
"What did you do to my brother?" Nathan Petrelli asks Future Peter, who is walking in front of the group.
"He's safe from where he is…but it seems I was wrong about it," Future Peter says two people exits the building.
Neil draws his sword and he says, "Stop."
Gael sees the exiting duo and he says, "Jeremy and Eric…they're among the most heavily protected prisoners."
"Then they are powerful I guess," Nathan says as Future Peter looks to him.
"Get Leonard out of here Nathan. I'll find Peter myself," Future Peter says as blue flames appear in his hands.
"But!" Nathan tries to protest as Neil shouts to Nathan, "Just go!"
Nathan nods and carries Leonard behind his back and flies to the air afterwards.
"Hey check it out…Company agents trying to stop us," the younger spiky blonde haired man among the two escapees said to his taller, bulkier and muscular white haired friend.
"I'd like to see them try!" Eric says as he recognized Gael Cruz, "Hey! Weren't you the backstabber who sent us to that hellish excuse of a prison cell?"
"Yeah you're right Eric! Let's pay him back for what he did to us!" the younger man says as green electricity appears in his hands and he thrusts it forward the trio.
Future Peter sends blue flames to meet with the green discharge of electricity and an explosion happens.
Eric runs forward as Neil runs toward Eric, who jumps in mid-air and punches the ground and a shockwave happens that sends Neil flying backwards and he crashes to a nearby tree.
"Jeremy! Get your electromagnetic powers working here!" Eric shouts to his friend, who is levitating himself from the ground with green electricity.
"With pleasure!" Jeremy sends a large green electromagnetic charge to the ground a few meters in front of Eric, who slams his hands to the ground that results in a green electrical shockwave that destroys the ground beneath him and rocks and electrical arcs are sent towards Future Peter, who is hit by the blast and kills Gael in the process.
"Now that we had our revenge…let's get going," Eric says as he runs away from the area together with Jeremy.
Neil and Future Peter are seen gaining consciousness and Neil looks at Future Peter, "Looks like they escaped…and left me with a headache."
"They got to us this time, but they surely won't next time," Future Peter says as he looks seriously to Neil, "You track those two down…I'll handle the rest here."
Neil nods as he runs off to the other two as Future Peter closes his eyes and reappears just outside the entrance of Level Five.
Future Peter bursts into the hallway and as he sees Angela Petrelli, he disguises himself as his present self, "Where are they?"
"They've escaped!" Angela Petrelli says as she looks at Future Peter with her brows raised, "And you should go back to where you came from."
"I can't. Not till I finish my job here," Future Peter says as he morphs back to normal, "And don't tell me you can handle things here. I've seen what you can do; I've seen what you've become."
"And I've seen what your presence here has affected the future greatly. Did you ever hear about the Butterfly Effect? You step on a butterfly today and three million people die in the future in the process. I've seen what happens…and those who you cherish most will be put to danger in the process. Now tell me where my son is?"
"You want to know?" Future Peter says as he points to Jesse's empty cell, "He's in the body of the man who has super concussive voice here and now he's gone together with those other villains!"
"Then bring me back my son and go back to where you came from 'Peter'!" Angela says to Future Peter, who walks away and disappears afterwards.
Knox, Jesse-Peter, Flint and the German, First Federal Bank of New York
"Is it clear?" Knox asks Jesse-Peter, who opens his window and looks around. Jesse-Peter nods and both the German and Flint exits the car to head towards the bank.
Knox and Jesse-Peter exits afterwards and Jesse-Peter tells Knox, "What about we do this at night? That way…there would be less surveillance."
"That's not part of the plan right Jesse? What's the matter? I can feel your fear in you. Is there a problem?"
"No. There's no problem," Jesse-Peter replies as the four enter the bank and Knox looks at the German.
The German nods as he closes the metal blinds of the bank and it becomes dimmer inside the bank.
The guards are about to raise their shotguns, but the German raises his hands to crumple the shot guns of the guards and he then uses the crumpled guns as projectiles to knock out the guards cold.
"Light it up," Knox says to Flint, who walks forward as his hands are filled with blue flames.
"Everybody get down!" Flint says as he sends a flurry of flames towards the patrons, who duck and take cover.
Jesse-Peter looks appalled on what is happening as Knox smiles and heads off towards the safe, "Hey German! Open this up will ya!"
The German runs toward the safe and begins to open it with his magnetic powers, but shuts down the cameras first before he starts his safe-cracking job.
Noah Bennet, Angela Petrelli, Primatech Research, Level Five
Angela Petrelli looks in the cell that formerly held Jesse as Noah Bennet arrives.
"I expected you here soon Noah," Angela says as he faces Noah, "Most of the escapees around here are the very same ones you imprisoned here."
"Let me make one thing clear," Noah says seriously as he raises his right index finger, "I'm not here to re-enlist, but I'm only here to make sure that those animals are put back to their cages to where they belong and then I'll return to my family afterwards. Is that clear?"
"Of course…you can go back to our Claire afterwards," Angela says to Noah with a smile.
Both of them began to walk as Noah says, "I'll need to have my old partner back if I am to capture them."
"Unfortunately, the Haitian is unavailable, since he is on a pick-up assignment. Kai, together with other agents, are on the double in tracking these villains and we already have Gael Cruz killed in action right outside this facility," Angela explains to Noah as they walked through the hallways of Level Five.
"Then who will be my partner then? You know how this thing works if I'm going to get those beasts back in here, one of us and one of them," Noah informs the Petrelli, who replies, "I already have the perfect one of them in mind."
Angela stops right in the window of Sylar's room and she says to Noah, "Meet your new partner Noah."
Noah looks in shock as he sees Sylar wiping his bloody hands with a towel and he walks toward Noah and says, "Hello Noah…did you miss me?"
Hiro and Ando, Germany
"Why are we even here?" Ando annoyingly asks in Japanese to Hiro, who is seen looking around the area.
"Oto-san told me to find the Haitian man to get the formula that would destroy the world," Hiro says in Japanese as he looks around and Daphne is seen running behind him and she says, "What are you two doing here?"
"Wha!" Hiro and Ando say in surprise as they see Daphne.
"Nemesis!" Hiro says as he points to Daphne.
"Why do you call me that?" Daphne asks Hiro, who replies, "Because you tried to steal an important object that is important in saving the world. Now…why are you both here?"
"To find a piece of paper Pikachu," Daphne says as she taps Hiro in the shoulder and runs, but is seen very slow. Daphne runs to Hiro and she says, "Did you try to stop my time manipulating ability?"
"She's powerless! Use this chance Hiro!" Ando exclaims in Japanese to his best friend, who closes his eyes but time remains to be normal.
"I can't use them too…" Hiro says to Ando.
"Whatever you two…but in any case…you may have won last time, but this time you won't," Daphne says as she leaves the duo.
Hiro looks around and sees the Haitian and he says, "Ando-kun! Ando-kun! Chance!"
Ando sees the Haitian and both Japanese men wink at each other and follow the Haitian.
Jesse-Peter, Knox, Flint and the German, First Federal Bank of New York
A woman is seen slowly crawling towards a bank alarm trigger when Flint grabs her and he says, "Uh! Uh! Uh! We can't have that can't we?"
The woman shakes her head as Flint smiles, "You can work it out with me here as payment for what you tried to do. You're quite a beauty anyway."
Jesse-Peter suddenly pushes Flint away from the woman and he says, "Stop that will you! We're only here for the money. There's no need to harm her."
"And what are you going to do about it Jesse? Fight me?" Flint says threateningly as he holds Peter's shoulder and blue flames appear in his other hand.
"Yeah! I maybe I will!" Jesse-Peter says as the German shouts, "Its open!"
The safe is suddenly opened and Flint turns off his flames and he says, "Let's go get our earnings."
Matt Parkman, Africa
Matt Parkman is seen walking in the hot savannas of Africa. Matt suddenly collapses to the floor and he says, "Isn't there anyone else here to help me?"
"If you ask politely, someone would," a deep aborigine's voice says to Matt Parkman, who stands up and faces the man.
"Who…who are you?" Matt Parkman asks the African man holding a staff.
"I am Usutu," the man says as he hands Matt a small bottle, "Here's some water to drink…now come, let's spirit walk to your destiny."
Matt takes the bottle and drinks from it as he follows Usutu.
Noah Bennet, Angela Petrelli, Gabriel Gray, Primatech Research, Angela Petrelli's New Office
"He almost killed my daughter! Your granddaughter to be more precise in Odessa, Texas one year ago!" Noah Bennet tells Angela Petrelli when Sylar retorts.
"She can't be even killed don't you understand that? She's special and you're her father and you don't know everything about her? Don't you know that without her blood, I couldn't have possibly healed myself of that virus? Think of what good she can do Noah," Sylar says in an incredulous voice that makes Noah pulls his gun out of its holster and he points it to Sylar.
"Say one more word and…" Noah says as Angela Petrelli steps in front of her gun.
"That's enough Noah!" Angela Petrelli says with her brows raised.
"He's a murderer!" Noah tells Angela Petrelli as he points his gun at her.
"Then you and Gabriel have more in common than you care to admit," Angela Petrelli tells Noah, who lowers his gun.
"He's the perfect partner for you and he can't be killed that easily you know that Noah," Angela Petrelli informs Noah as she walks closer to Gabriel, "And he only needs some guidance and order and I though you were the one to be able to give it to him. Whatever your decision may be…I'm going to put Gabriel into play."
Jesse-Peter, Knox, Flint and the German, First Federal Bank of New York
Knox is seen looking out of the window and police cars are seen parking outside the bank.
"This is the last of the money, "the German says as he goes out of the safe together with Flint and Jesse-Peter.
"Now how the hell those police got here?" Flint says as he lowers his bags filled with money.
"It was probably because I called them," Knox says as he looks at the trio.
"That wasn't part of the plan. It supposed to be about the money," the German says as he takes out his gun and he points it at Knox.
"It's mostly about revenge," Knox says as he approaches the German.
"Well its all about the money for me," the German says as he is about to pull the trigger when Knox says, "What are you afraid of? The Company trying to come in and get us? Well that is what I wanted…"
Knox suddenly grabs the German's gun arm and breaks it as he punches through the German's stomach and in the process; he rips open the metal wall behind the German. The crows watching them scream and cry out of fear of what Knox just did.
"To pound my horn-rimmed glasses back to his skull," Knox says to the German as he rips out his hand from the metal manipulator.
"Why the hell did you do that for?" Jesse-Peter asks Knox.
"He was going to ruin your plan. Right Jesse?" Knox asks Jesse-Peter, who nods.
Gabriel Gray and Angela Petrelli, Primatech Research
Angela Petrelli enters her office to see a suited Sylar and she says, "It's good to know it fits you."
"Are you sure you're my mother?" Gabriel Gray asks Angela Petrelli, who walks toward him.
"You always knew you weren't just the son of a watchmaker and a woman who collects Hummel figurines," Angela Petrelli tells Gabriel, "I shouldn't have given you up for adoption before…but there were certain circumstances that forced me to…"
"But Noah is right…I'm a monster," Gabriel Gray says as he looks at his hands, which are suddenly touched by Angela Petrelli.
"It's your special ability that does that Gabriel. Everything is not lost," Angela Petrelli says as Noah Bennet enters the room.
"It seems so," Noah says as he turns on the TV, "It seems that four of them went public and staged a heist already."
Angela Petrelli sees one white jacketed figure and she says, "Peter's there…trapped in the body of Jesse."
"Chances are he doesn't know his hosts powers," Noah says as he looks at Angela, "All more of a reason for me to go there and help him in case those villains kill him. Is he ready?"
"I am," Gabriel says as Noah nods and both leave the room.
"They're partnership would be quite a sight to see," a pony tailed Asian wearing a tuxedo says as he enters the room, "We have six imprisoned members of Organization XIII running free. Any ideas of how to bag and tag them?"
"We'll find a way soon Ryu…we will," Angela says as she continues to watch the television.
Jesse-Peter, Knox, Flint, First Federal Bank of New York
"Why'd you think he'd come?" Jesse-Peter asks Knox, who is currently looking outside the windows.
"It's because he comes right in anytime. Just like Santa Claus," Knox says as he laughs a bit.
"Why tempt fate? We're free already…why not just let it go Knox?" Jesse-Peter asks Knox
"What's gotten into you Jesse? We're already at a home-court advantage. I can go Superman with these fearful people around here and these were your plans remember? For months and months…you kept saying about freedom, one lift-shopping, revenge and then retirement. What are you so afraid of Jesse?" Knox asks his friend.
"I'm…I'm afraid to lose everything back in the Company. To feel trapped…powerless…I just wanna go back to my old life," Jesse-Peter says as Knox smiles.
"Yeah…like going back to your family and friends in Detroit," Knox says with a smile.
"Yeah…Yeah," Jesse-Peter says with a smile as Knox chokes his and he says, "Except Jesse's family in Vegas."
Knox throws Jesse-Peter across the floor and he says, "And he got no friends! So who the hell are you?"
Hiro and Ando, Germany
"Yatta!" Ando says in Japanese as he sees the Haitian knocked on the floor.
"What the heck did you just do Ando?" Hiro says in Japanese as he picks up a briefcase from the floor.
"I just made my own little detour in…" Ando says as the briefcase in Hiro's hand disappears and reappears to the hand of Daphne, who is a few meters away from them.
"I told you I'd get it Pikachu," Daphne says as she runs outside the theater.
"Hiro! Stop time!" Ando says in Japanese as the Japanese duo suddenly falls to sleep.
"The formula is gone," a long haired man wearing a cloak says to the Haitian, who is seen standing up.
"And these two meddlers found a way in letting that formula fall to the wrong hands," the Haitian says as he looks at the man in front of him, "Ms. Petrelli would like your assistance once more Jason Park."
"Consider it done," Jason says as he gives the Haitian a piece of paper.
Gabriel Gray and Noah Bennet, Outside the First Federal Bank of New York
A Mercedes-Benz car is seen stopping just outside the barricade outside the bank in front of them.
"You know she's with playing us right?" Noah says as he turns off the engine of the car, "She thinks its just a big game to her."
"Be that as it may," Sylar says as he is about to open his door, "Aren't you curious how all of this will play out?"
Both newly partnered agents get out of the car and get into the barricades stationed by the police.
"So what do we do?" Gabriel Gray asks Noah.
"There's no we here. You're going to follow my orders and shut up like a good doggy, while the pro handles this," Noah says to Sylar.
"But there's no team work in that," Gabriel Gray says, but Noah points his finger at him, "You know how this game is played. Is that clear Sylar?"
Gabriel nods as he looks around and he uses an commanding accent, "Who's in charge here?"
"I'm in charge!" a middle aged man says as he approaches Gabriel, who has his hands on his waist, "I'm Lieutenant Cory and what are you…"
"I'm Special Agent Andrew Hanson. FBI. Now why are these barricades not 30 feet away from this crime scene?" Gabriel asks as Hanson was about to reply when Gabriel cut him off, "Do you want the media up our ass? Or do you just want these lookie-look civilians get killed?"
"No sir," Lieutenant Cory says as he shouts to his men, "You heard him ladies! All hands to the barricades!"
"We also need some coffee here. Decaf coffee would do!" Gabriel says as he approaches a speechless Noah, "You drink decaf right Noah?"
Jesse-Peter, Knox and Flint, First Federal Bank of New York
Jesse-Peter is seen being punched by Flint as Knox holds the trapped empath.
"It's the truth! I've been forcefully trapped in this body against my own free will I swear!" Jesse-Peter tells the two villains as he gets another punch from Flint.
"Why did you come? You must have a dozen chances to bail out," Knox says as he held Jesse-Peter, who took another punch.
"You were going to hurt people. I couldn't let that happen," Jesse-Peter explains as he is punched by Flint.
"Now I know you're full of it. No one's that heroic," Knox says as Jesse-Peter gets punched in his face.
"Release him and the hostages!" a bullet proof armored Noah Bennet says as Jesse-Peter is thrown to a corner by Knox.
"So the mighty man in horn-rimmed glasses is here," Knox says as he looks at Noah Bennet with hatred. He looks at the people and he says, "Get the hell out of my sight now!"
The hostages run outside and Knox walks toward Noah and puts him on a black chair, "Now…I get justice for what you did to me."
"You got a bum rap you know," Noah Bennet says to Knox.
"You may have gotten off as the judge, jury and executioner, but this time…you're on my turf now!" Knox says to Noah as he cracks his knuckles.
"Knox! We're free already! Just let go of it!" Jesse-Peter says as he is pushed to the corner by Flint.
"Shut up! I'm done listening to you!" Knox shouts to Peter.
"No…NO ONE DIES TODAY!!" Jesse-Peter shouts as a sound wave blast that echoes his last statement throws Flint crashing to the wall behind him together with the tables, desks and computers beside him.
Jesse-Peter breathes heavily as he stands up and looks at a frightened Knox, "LISTEN TO ME!!"
Sound waves are suddenly hurled towards Knox, Noah and the objects in the way of the sound blast when time is stopped.
Future Peter is seen walking into the scene and he walks toward the body of Jesse. He then pushes Jesse's body and Present Peter Petrelli is seen to be exiting from Jesse's body.
"You!" Present Peter Petrelli says as blue sparks appear in his hands.
"Wait!" Future Peter says to his present self, "Let me explain."
"Yeah…explain everything that you've done to save all of us and explain on why you've trapped me in his body!" Present Peter says to Future Peter, who walks toward Present Peter and touches his shoulder. "You're right…I should show you."
The two Petrelli's disappear and time resumes on its own.
Knox is seen thrown towards the wall behind him and Jesse looks around him. He walks toward Noah Bennet, who says to him, "Thank you Peter."
"Peter's not here anymore," Jesse says as he grabs Noah Bennet and pushes him to the floor.
Knox stands up and pins Noah Bennet, who sees the German's pistol right behind him.
"Looks like the man with the plans have run out of plans," Knox says as Noah smiles, "Actually, I'm just a man who has a partner standing right behind you."
Both villains look around to see Sylar.
Knox proceeds to punch Noah, but Sylar raises his right hand to telekinetically freeze Knox.
"What the hell!" Knox says as Jesse looks at Sylar and is about to shout, but Sylar raises his left hand and telekinetically chokes Jesse, whose vocal chords are now crushed by Sylar.
Flint is seen standing up from a corner and ignites blue flames in his hands. Noah dives toward the pistol behind him and uses it to shoot Flint, who is about to send flames towards Sylar.
Flint gets hit in his shoulder and falls down to the floor.
"I told you to stay put!" Noah shouts to Sylar as he maintained his position.
"You told me that as we came here to make sure I wouldn't didn't you," Sylar says as Noah smiles to him. As Sylar sees Noah putting cuffs on Flint and leaves the building, Sylar looks at Jesse and he says, "Now about you…"
Sylar sends Knox flying towards the wall behind him as he telekinetically sent Jesse crashing to a wall, "Your power…is all mine."
"Sylar! You can't do this!" Noah says as he tries to run back into the bank, but the doors are suddenly sealed by Sylar.
As Knox is running out of the place, Sylar raises his right index finger, "I can't…this hunger…can't be satisfied."
Sylar telekinetically slices off Jesse's head and he proceeds to take the villain's power.
Hiro and Ando, Level Five
"Help! Help! I'm Hiro Nakamura! I Save the World! You make Big Mistake!" Hiro shouts from his prison cell.
"There's nothing we can do Hiro…I should have gone through the plan just like you said so…" Ando says in Japanese to his friend.
Matt Parkman and Usutu, Africa
"Uhm excuse me…how long does this spirit walk last?" Matt Parkman asks the orange-shirted man in front of him.
"This is not my spirit walk Parkman. It is yours," Usutu says as he walks in an area with many boulders and he stops by a certain mural on the floor.
"How did you know my name? And how to you know a lot about me?" Parkman says as he continues to look to Usutu without minding his surroundings.
"Through your badge," Usutu says as he stomps his staff to the ground.
"I don't have my badg…" Parkman says as he looks on his clothes, but his attention was drawn to a portrait, which depicts the scene when Matt first met Molly, on the floor.
"Wait…you drew this? You knew my whole life just from this painting?" Matt asks Usutu, who shakes his head.
"When I was a boy, my spirit animal told me to gather some berries. These berries became my paint. And this…I paint when I was a boy. It was your future at the time," Usutu says as he leaves Matt Parkman.
Matt Parkman follows Usutu and sees paintings, which depicts his struggles and adventures recently, on boulders.
"Almost everything here happened already," Matt says as he sees a painting of him with a blonde haired woman holding a baby, "So…this must be my future future?"
"When you came here, I suddenly felt that the future has changed. This future is not yours anymore," Usutu says as takes out some paint from the corner and begins to cover his previous painting.
Usutu puts on some earphones and begins to apply paint manually on the wall with his hands.
"How can you say that my future suddenly isn't my future?" Matt asks Usutu, who doesn't reply.
"Hey man aren't you listening to me?" Matt says as he forcefully turns Usutu to face him and to Matt's surprise he sees Usutu's pupils are white in color.
Usutu stares at him for a few seconds and continues to paint afterwards.
Mohinder's voice is heard: Turning and turning in the widening gyre. The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.
Ryu, Yvvone, the Doctor and Chris Johnson, Unknown Alley
Ryu is seen standing in an alley and closes his eyes. His pupils suddenly disappear and are replaced by three revolving red dots. Ryu looks around and he says, "I've found them. They're in a dead end that is by the corner."
The Doctor and Chris nods as they run towards the destination, but a shockwave sends them flying.
Jeremy is seen running towards Chris and the Doctor with sparks in his hands, but Jeremy is suddenly pelted by a beam of water coming from the water jug in Yvvone's hands.
Eric then reveals himself to assist his ally, but Ryu raises his tazer gun and shoots tazer bullets to the shockwave inducer. Eric is hit by the attack and falls to the ground.
Jeremy looks at the group of four with hate as he tries to shoot Yvvone, but as he tries to discharge electricity he suddenly feels electricity coursing in his body.
"How does it feel to be grounded by the same power you've used for years Jeremy?" Ryu asks as his eyes turn back to normal as the Doctor steps forward and telekinetically sends Jeremy flying to the wall behind him.
Mohinder's voice is heard: The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.
Matt Parkman and Usutu, Africa
Usutu's eyes turn back to normal as he looks at Parkman, "This is…your new future."
Parkman looks at the painting and sees himself holding the blonde woman earlier, whose back is injured and gravely hurt.
"Who…who is she?" Matt asks Usutu.
Mohinder's voice is heard: Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out when a vast image out of Spritus Mundi Troubles my sight:
Angela Petrelli and Sylar, Level Five
"I told you that I am monster. Looks like you were wrong," Sylar says as he looks Flint inside his cell.
"No…you're wrong. There is still hope for you to redeem yourself," Angela Petrelli says as she leaves Sylar.
Noah Bennet and the Haitian are seen talking by the corner and the Haitian says, "Why are you here Noah? I thought you are supposed to be protecting Claire."
"I have friends protecting Claire," Noah informs the Haitian as he looks at Sylar, "I'm just sticking around to find his weakness and kill him."
Mohinder's voice is heard: Somewhere in the sands of the desert a shape with lion body and the head of a man, a gaze blank and pitiless as the sun is moving its slow thighs:
Niki Sanders and Linderman, New Orleans
"The Second Coming is at hand Euler," Linderman says as Niki Sanders standing up, "You know this."
"And I will stop at nothing to prevent it," Niki says as she morphs into Steve Euler.
"You fooled and destroyed a family my friend…to what end is this little crusade of yours?" Linderman asks a retreating Euler.
"Something you haven't foreseen," Steve says as he gets outside the house together with Linderman
"Nathan Petrelli and I are destined for great things Euler. You can't stop what is inevitable," Linderman says as Steve closes his eyes and disappears.
Mohinder's
voice is heard: While
all about it, reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The
darkness drops again
Claire Bennet, Meredith Gordon and Sandra Bennet, New Orleans
"Mom! I won't be going to school today…I've decided that I will try stop being normal and do what I really must…" Claire says as she is cut off by Sandra Bennet.
"No you won't Claire. You're dad's out there protecting all of us and his sacrifice will be wasted if you'll just get hurt while he's gone," Sandra tells Claire.
"But Mom! I can't get hurt!" Claire reasons out, "I can fight these villains and leave without a scratch!"
"I think what Claire means that…if you're one of us…" Meredith interjects, but Sandra cuts her off.
"Meredith. I am extremely thrilled to know that you're here to protect us, but I know how to talk to my own daughter thank you," Meredith Gordon snaps at Claire's biological mom and Sandra looks at Claire, "Now you'll get your things and go to school."
Mohinder's voice is heard: But now I know that twenty centuries of stony sleep were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, and what rough beast, its hour come round at last slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Mohinder Suresh and Maya, Odessa, Texas
"Doctor Suresh?" Maya asks as she enters a laboratory and sees a shirtless Mohinder hanging upside down.
Mohinder flips and lands gracefully in front of Maya, "Hello Maya."
"How…how did you do that?" Maya asks Mohinder, who smiles.
"Remember the little syringe with your adrenaline with it? I used it on me and voila! I was given these special abilities," Mohinder says as Maya is appalled, "You injected yourself with that? Something might go wrong."
"Maya…" Mohinder says as he begins to crawls on the wall, "I'm inhuman! I have enhanced strength, agility and better reflexes than any human would have. I checked my blood work, pheromone levels and everything else. Guess what? They're all normal."
Mohinder jumps and lands in front of Maya, "This is one of the quantum leaps in science that one dreams to be a part of…and it all came from…that extremely unique body of yours."
Both then suddenly kiss and Maya is lifted to the table as both begin to undress.
Neil is seen running around the streets of New York and he sees Steve Euler in front of him.
"Go back to where you came from. You're not needed here," Steve Euler says as another Steve Euler lands behind Neil.
"I've found you at last…clone," Steve Euler says as he looks at Neil, "Find Peter…and show him what needs to be done."
"Be my guest," Neil says as he disappears and both Steve Eulers run to each other and an explosion occurs.
Why are there two Steve Euler's running around? And why is Steve Euler posing as Niki Sanders?
What will now happen to Noah and his new partner Sylar in future chapters?
What future has Peter and Future Peter has gone into?
What will happen to Matt Parkman's destiny?
Why does Tracy Strauss have no recollection or whatsoever of Niki Sanders?
All of these questions and more will be answered in Heroes Volume III: Villains!
Author's Notes: Thank you for continuing to read my little work of fiction here, even if I don't update it instantly at times. I'm planning for a weekly release of Heroes chapters for this story in order not to keep you guys hanging. At 2000+ hits, I'd say that I'm pleased with the 'success' achieved here and I would like to thank you all once more. Please review, critic or suggest so I may know what are your thoughts on what you would like to see or what do you think of the story.
Here are some bits of the story that I will divulge:
Eric's ability is self-induced shockwaves. He can create shockwaves at will if he wants to and use these shockwaves to augment his strength.
Jeremy on the other hand, has the power of electromagnetism. He can float above the ground with electromagnetic energies, fire off EMPs, electrical arcs, and more.
We'll have the next chapter all about the Two Futures of both Neil and Future Peter…so expect a lot of new characters to be introduced…especially from Neil's future.
About Sylar, his powers are back to zero because of being affected by the Shanti Virus…so all of his powers in S1 are now gone, except for telekinesis.
So Sylar only has: Telekinesis, Flight-from West, Clairsentience (he can see an object's past)-from Bridget, Gold Transmutation( to turn anything into gold)-from Bob Bishop and Sound/Voice Manipulation-from Jesse.
I would also like to know if you guys want to let Sylar have Claire's ability.(I might make a poll on this, but if ever I don't put up one by tomorrow…then you can either put your suggestions on the reviews or mail it to me)
That's all for now and I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
