[A/N] Oh dear people! A Fan fiction that I've updated! You should be proud of me. Anyways, here is the next chapter. Hooray! I hope you all enjoy it, although I didn't. It's just a really long and thick filler after all… But, it finally has a plot line! And you shall soon find out, that Peter is more related than you could think!

But not in this chapter lol. I'm so mean. Anyways, I'm writing a companion HongIce fic, which takes place in 1996, for any of you historic people. But it's just because there are not enough of them, and they are awesome.

OOH, about the pairing situation. It has all been sorted. I must say that I'm sorry if it doesn't agree with you, but if there's something you don't like, then I'm not forcing you to read this. You can easily find another fan fiction, which is all about that one pairing that just didn't get into this story…

For this chapter, is finally decided for some good ol' fashioned GiriPan.

Enough about this, I wanted to just say a little something about spelling and stuff. When I read stories, the most common mistake that people make is spelling BARELY, BARLEY. And also spelling CHOKED CKOCKED. It's really frustrating! One does not 'chock' and also, barley is only ever used in beer!

Doesn't your computer check your spelling? I'm really not sure what kind of equipment you people have, but do you really need a beta to read through all of our work? I don't have a beta reader. I have myself. And frankly, I think my spelling is quite good!

Well, enough of my modesty, and annoyingness. I really, REALLY, hope you enjoy this chapter, because it was very difficult to write. (:

I don't understand anything going on here. All I can say is, I just saw six men disappear into thin air. How that is possible, I couldn't even begin to comprehend.

However, due to their absence, I had decided to look around their abode, for possible hopes of acquainting myself with any sort of orientation over anything. As of now, my mind was just a quivering ball of mess.

For some reason, they didn't strike me as human. And I don't mean the crazy stuff they did earlier like summoning a glass of water or what not. I meant like, they didn't seem to behave humanly. And come to think of it, neither was I. I mean, I just found out that my wife died only a couple of hours ago, and I'm barely upset anymore! What kind of an inhumane bastard was I?

As I pondered my own worth, I explored the inside of the room I was just in. I found that the area was actually quite vast, and had countless corridors leading from that main living room. Upon taking a closer look, I saw that on each door in each hallway was inscribed with the name of a country. However, each door was locked. At least, I presumed so, because, seriously, who's going to check every single door when there's going to be at least 200?

Actually, I did find that outside one of the doors was a package. It was marked, "TO BIRDIE, FROM GIL." This, aside from being scrawled in almost illegible handwriting, meant nothing to me, and I promptly gave up trying to guess what it meant. I slipped the package into my pocket; I'd ask one of the others about it later.

Bored with all this, I slumped down into a nearby chair, and sighed. I still didn't get what was going on. Suddenly, a shadow fell upon me. As I looked up, I almost fell out of my chair with fright when I saw a figure looming over me.

"Well, well Peter. Having fun are we?" Arthur smirked at my previous little yelp.

When I didn't respond, he continued, frowning, "We've been worried that something like this was going to happen. And unfortunately, you've gotten yourself involved. Or rather, Matthew was the one who got you involved from your birth."

He looked down at his shoes, and seemingly decided to also sit. He regarded me with cold eyes. "Wondering why you don't care about your wife's death?"

I was dumbfounded. How did he even know she died?

"It's because beings like us are not made to go hand in hand with humans. It's physically impossible for us to develop feelings for them. It wouldn't be right." What? This was getting weirder and weirder.

"You see Peter, I am immortal. And, apparently, so are you." Now I stood abruptly.

"What?" I shouted at him. "You choose to tell me this now, and not maybe, I don't know, before I was married? Before I started working for the government? This doesn't even make any sense."

He rubbed his forehead (and huge eyebrows) and paused while I caught my breath. "We are, how to put this, super beings. We exist eternally as representations of a single nation until that nation exists, in itself, no longer. Over the years, as our country develops, we change also. As I mentioned, we are not human."

What Arthur was saying was crazy. All my instincts were yelling at me to run away. This was not happening to me.

Arthur abruptly stood from his chair and continued, "But we have no such time to discuss this now. We are all in danger; well not you specifically. Come on, I'll explain on the way."

He walked away and wasn't showing signs of waiting so I followed him; wherever he was going. We walked down one of the many corridors that I had been in earlier.

"There have always been people who put us in danger, which is why we choose to keep our existence a secret. But sometimes it gets out, and humans are power-hungry, and strong with the right support. This one has found out how to erase memories.

He's turning them… human."

"I… what?" I countered.

Arthur stopped at a door. "You have to be the one who helps them. Since the man probably doesn't know about you, you should be safe. However, you must keep your identity a secret."

So that's what they wanted. They wanted me to do their dirty work for them. Oh what joy. I still could barely understand the words that Arthur was saying, but what difference would it make. I mean, I literally have no life left. And I wouldn't know how to get out of here anyway.

"Here's the plan. Most of the world is safe so far, as Europe is being targeted most. So, you have to find each nation and restore their memories. And don't worry; now that you're one of us, you have our powers also.

If you need to rent hotel rooms or the like, then use this," He handed me a plain blue credit card, "the rest will solve itself."

He also handed me an envelope, and started to leave, before he turned around again, "Oh before I leave, I have to explain how to travel. Sorry, I'm a bit rushed; we're tracking the guy at this moment. Anyways, you should start at this door, which leads to Greece. However, once his memory is restored, he'll know what to do and how to help you to the next place." He added a dry, "Have fun!" before sauntering off. I could hear him muttering, 'Why can't I raise such polite children?"

Well this isn't insane at all. I checked what I had on me; I still had my gun, my wallet (apparently not useful anymore), some of my FBI equipment, that strange package that I was apparently taking with me, and some other useless things. I didn't really have any time to even think about getting anything before all of this happened. I was just on the first day of that god-awful mission before I was rushed down here!

'Well, here goes nothing' I thought to myself as I pushed open the door labelled France, and I was met with a blinding light.

"Vanny! Vanny! I've got great news! I'm so happy you're here!" The little boy skipped across the field to his returning friend.

"Oh that is good little one. Why don't we go to the sunflowers, and you can tell me everything there, ok?"

"Ok Vanny!"

The two walked hand in hand for a while before entering the bright, bright field of the beautiful flowers. Ivan revelled in its beauty. Ever since Alfred had shown him here, he knew that he had found true beauty.

Now, whenever he was at home, in the winters, while the blizzards were strong, he would always feel as though there was a void in his heart. He missed those sunflowers. And although it was as hot in Russia as it was in this exotic place, he knew it didn't hold the same kind of tranquillity and peace as Alfred's own home.

"Vanny, today I got an older brother! Mr England."

Huh? That England had taken Alfred's land? He had never wanted to do so, because that would disturb the eternal sanctuary that this place held, but apparently, others were none too willing.

"England? He is… a good man." At least. Russia wasn't friends with him, but that did not mean that England wasn't a decent person. At least he hoped that he would take care of the little boy. If he came to harm, then he would….

"Yeah! He's so nice to me, and he sang me a song today. It was so beautiful!" Alfred's smile faded when he saw the deep look on his friend's face.

"Alfred. If England is your brother, then what am I to you?"

"Why, you're my bestest friend in the whole world, that's what!"

Ivan smiled. The little boy was the very first who was not afraid of him at sight. For some strange reason, he had become friends with him. Although he didn't want to admit it, Ivan didn't have friends at home. He knew that Alfred believed him to be great, but he was just a boy.

Soon, he would grow up, and learn of how evil or terrible that scary Russia was; undoubtedly from his new older brother. And then, he would leave and Ivan would be left alone again…

"Κυρ καφέ"

I stared at the sign. It loomed above me on the green cloth. A nice little café it was indeed. The sign… it meant, 'Café Sun'. How did I know that? I'd never spoken a word of Greek in my life.

I pondered this as I sat down in the café, ordering some coffee, again spouting perfect Greek. How strange…. Maybe Arthur was right after all. Maybe I did have strange abilities… Curioser and curioser.

The envelope. It contained a list of all the people I had to 'save' and their current location. It was a little strange because there was written the name of a country, and then another country to say their location. Luckily most of them were written like,

Greece (Heracles Karpusi) – Greece

So it wasn't that hard to figure it out. But what the hell was I even doing? I guess, before, when these nations had memories, they would have also had their powers, which might give me a heads up. I also knew their names, which was useful. But I can't just go around asking if they knew this Heracles Karpusi! And anyway, he could be anywhere in the whole of Greece, how could I ever find one person?

Also what was strange, was that underneath Greece's row, there was written that Japan's current location was also in Greece. I didn't know if that was helpful or not.

Ok, why don't I test out this powers thing? I held out my hand over my coffee, and concentrated. To my surprise, a thin stream of the liquid suddenly rose out of the cup. Astonished, I let go and it all fell back, splashing the brown stuff everywhere.

Ok, so I had telekinesis. What about mind reading? Lets see… I focused on one of the waitresses walking around. I blocked out all the sound surrounding me, and concentrated only on her.

'Damn these people, it's Friday evening! Don't they have anything better to do than to sit at a café? There are so many people alone here, wow.'

Her voice came screaming into my head, oh dear god it was loud! But it was definitely the voice that took my order earlier. And her lips were clearly not moving. Well that was successful.

Suddenly, her voice quietened. But the pain in my head grew stronger. I couldn't see anymore, the world had gone black. When I tore my eyes open, I was, luckily, where I was before.

But I wasn't me. My sight was blurry and bright. It was definitely not evening. What was going on? I looked around and I saw a small Asian man hurrying towards me. Did I know him?

"I am so sorry, Greece-san. I did not mean to be late!" He bowed quickly and sat down opposite me.

I chuckled lightly, and without asking my body to do anything, it spoke, in a different voice, "Oh it's fine Jappy. I'm always late… You know I," I took a huge yawn, and continued, "don't really care." Involuntarily, I smiled, and placed my head in the crook of my arms on the table. It was so sunny, and I felt so sleepy and warm.

But instead of falling asleep, I decided to stare at the man in front of me. Noticing me, he blushed, looking visibly uncomfortable. I should really stop looking at him, it's impolite. But alas, I was not in control of my body. So I just stayed like that, feeling oh-so content.

"Uh, Heracles-san, " 'Jappy' said, "Would it be rude of me to ask you to teach me about the Greek Gods? I have always wanted to know about them…" He ended, as if he'd said the most imposing thing in the world. My face just lit up, he was so cute!

Did I really just think that? Well, I guess it was whoever's body I was in.

"Of course I can take you around Jappy!" My companion offered a shy smile, and the world went black again.

I found myself, back in the darkness of the present evening. The tired waitress was talking to the same people that she was when I had my 'vision-type thing'. My watch showed that I was only blacked out for a couple of seconds, when really it was at least a few minutes or so. How strange.

But suddenly I was tired. Maybe I these powers were the cause of it.

I was already shocked that I had them, but I guess it was numbed from all that I had experienced that day.

Maybe it would do me some good to get some sleep for the night. So, I checked into a nearby hotel for a night with the credit card paying for everything itself (somehow…). As I lay in my bed, I pondered about how fast my life has changed in the past day.

So apparently I was some sort of national representation. As well as this, I have only just got some crazy weird magical powers that beings like 'me' do. My goal is to find Greece and Japan, and restore their memories.

I apparently have visions, probably of the past, that show me about these nations.

Tomorrow, I decided, I would gather up as much information as I could, concerning their whereabouts first. After that, I'd work on restoring their memories.
