Thanks to everyone out there. You review get me some new ideas where I could take the story and it's getting clearer and clearer in my head thanks to you guys.

So for all of you here is the new chap.


A Talk

The first ray of sunlight leaked trough the curtains in front of the window. But it was enough to wake Olivia up. She made a grimace when the light got into her eyes, but then she started to smile. The memories of the past day came back to her. The memories of her family day and her work in the night. Yeah, right, she had work to do, so she better gt her butt out of the bed, she told herself. She sat up in her bed and after she had stretched, she got out of it. The alarm clock on her bedside table told her it was 6.30 am. It was early. Another reason to be quiet, but she was wondering, why her usual alarm clock named Ella, hadn't shown up already. Again a smile was on her face while she made her way to the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Olivia was dressed and had done her hair. When she came out of her bedroom, smelling coffee, she wondered who had made some, but of course it had been Rachel. Her lovely sister stood in the kitchen, Finn in one arm and with the other warming up some milk for him.

"Morning you two."

Rachel turned around a little to fast and her mug canted over. Finn started to cry, the hot coffee was all over the counter and it made it way down to the floor. The brown liquid was dripping down from the counter into a little puddle at Rachel's feed.

"Oh shit."

Rachel looked desperately at Olivia. She took Finn from her, grabbed the baby bottle with milk and went back into the living room. A few seconds later Finn had stopped crying and was smiling at her while he was drinking. When he was done, they went back to Rachel. She was done with the cleaning up and had a new mug of coffee in her hands.

"You don't look that god. What is it, Rachel?"

She shook her head and took Finn from Olivia. She stroked his little head and went back to her former position against the counter.

"It's nothing, Liv. Really."

Olivia didn't ask anymore, because she knew what was up. Greg was working for the army and was sent to Iraq. Rachel hadn't want him to go, but in the end she couldn't change it. The had been the reason why they where living together. Because Greg was gone and she couldn't manage both kids herself. So Olivia was pretty sure that Rachel worried about him. Iraq truly wasn't a place to go for a nice trip.

"Rachel, everything is going to be fine."

Rachel just smiled sadly and Olivia went over to her and hugged her. Little Finn still in Rachel's arms.

"Everything is going to be fine, I promise you, that he will come back."

It was around 8.30 when Olivia left her apartment, leaving Rachel, Ella and Finn behind. They have had breakfast together, so Rachel was sure Olivia would have eaten something. She hopped into her car and drove off, towards Massive Dynamic.

It was a cloudy day, so the huge skyscraper wasn't shining by the light of the sun, like the last time. Olivia thought, that she hopefully would meet Peter here, because other ways, she wouldn't get the answers to her questions. She reached the front desk and the same woman like yesterday was looking up to her.

"How can I help you today?"

"Where can I find Peter Bishop?"

She just looked at Olivia for a second, like she wanted to know why Olivia wanted to know that, when she was the lawyer of Peter's father. But then she decided to tell Olivia where she could find him.

"You take the elevator to the 23rd floor and walk straight down the hallway. On the end you'll turn right and then it's the third door on the right."

Olivia jut nodded as a "thank you" and was gone. The elevator took her to the 23rd floor and she went down the hallway, totally into her thought how she was going to get Peter to talk to her. She turned right and again, hit something solid. The déjà-vu was completed when she looked up and saw a pair of blue eyes that looked down to her.

"Sorry."

Just than she realized whom she was standing in front of. It was Peter. The blue eyed, adorable looking son of her client. And now he was smiling at her and his smile made his face look even more adorable as it already was.

"I think this is going to be a habit of yours. Just running into me."

Now Olivia was smiling back at him. Yes, it looked like that, but suddenly she reminded herself why she was here.

"Yeah, maybe. Peter, I actually came to talk to you. So, do you have some time?"

"Sure. Are you up for a coffee. I need to get out of her for a little while and I only had been her for a little more than an hour."

Olivia nodded.

"Sure, why not."

A few minutes later, both of them sat on a bench in a nearby park, each of them with a cup of coffee in their hands. They were watching both were looking at trees that were swaying in the wind, when Olivia started the conversation.

"Some of what I'll ask you might be to personal. If that's the case, just tell me, but I'm just trying to understand some of the basics about Cortexiphan."

Peter nodded and turned around to look at her. Now the glace of these blue eyes lay on her and the smile was still on his face. Since she ran into him, the smile hadn't left his face and it wasn't now. That had to be a good sign, Olivia thought.

"Shoot it. I'm all yours."

"First, did you ever found out, what was it, that made you special?"

"No, actually we haven't found the reason till this day. The only thing that wasn't usual had been an illness I had when I was just a few weeks old. I almost would have died because of it, but Walter found a cure, together with Bell. So actually I needed to thank them for my life. But other than the illness, there never had been anything special about me."

Olivia took a sip of her coffee.

"So, what are these abilities you have?"

"It's really complicated to explain, how my abilities work and what they really are, but I can tell you, that I can't read you're mind, nor can I burst into flames or at least I'm thinking that I won't."

He was smiling widely now and when Olivia saw his full smile that had reached his eyes and made them sparkling a little bit, she smiled back at him. He was the kind of man that smiled a lot and that was something she really liked about him, even though she only knew him for two days.

"But if you like, I can show you what I can do with my abilities. But the is one condition."

His smile stayed as wide as it had been and Olivia raised her eyebrow's.

"What would that be?"

"You need to let me take you out for dinner before I show you, what I can do. Also you ran into he twice, so you own me something for that."

Olivia thought about that just for a few seconds. She already knew that she couldn't say no. Also why would she? She liked him and she wanted to know what this Cortexiphan drug was really for and especially what it did. What it did to him. What it could have done to so many other children out there and Dr. Bell and Dr. Bishop wouldn't have cared.

"Okay, deal."

She smiled at him and he smiled back at her. There was something between the two of them, that told her just to be herself and to relax.

"Great, how about tomorrow at nine. I'll pick you up."

"Sure, whatever you want."

"Okay, there is one more thing. When you haven't found out what was special about you, maybe there was something that was special about the children they experimented on."

"No, they were as normal as I was. Although it would have been unusual that they all had been special, wouldn't it."

She nodded. Yeah, she had thought about that, too. But there was still the question, why he had been the only one to respond to Cortexiphan.

"Peter, maybe you're just special in a very special way."
