I'm really really bad at naming chapters. FORGIVE ME! Okay…guys I'm getting pissed CHAPTER FOUR! I only have two reviews, and I have no reviews for Chapter 3. I spend a large amount of time making this story, and I'd appreciate some feedback. The story can only get better with your help, anyway I promise.. I'll incorporate elements from Season 4 such as the Carnival, Emma..ect. For now learn of how Arthur's plan will bring in these elements.

Chapter 4: God's Test

Seattle: Dock 88

Travis strained for more words, but just let out his rage as a huge wave crashed against the sea wall. Travis calmed himself.

"Yes, hell's been my life for the past three years, but you don't know the few things that can possibly even slightly improve it. So get out of the water, and leave me..."

Through this whole thing, Travis never noticed the fact that he was getting eavesdropped by an invisible man, and neither had Arthur. Arthur sighed, and resumed his conversation.

" Well you live in a dock.... and your only friend is a non living substance. Your parents are dead, your girlfriend left you, and she's with another man. Not to mention you never finished high school and your forced to eat seafood every day. He paused "Now let's diagram my life. I'm rich, I command a massive energy company, and I'm leading a group of specials..humans with abilities like you. Whose life is better? Now then…I have the ability to manipulate the Space-Time Contiuum…meaning this you join me, and I can save your mother, and make sure Krystina loves..you forever… He placed a hand on Travis's right shoulder. "So…what will it be eternal love, or would you prefer to rot in a dock..for the rest..of our natural life?

Travis looked at the man in the water. Travis still didn't like this whole Pinehearst idea, but this man wanted his help. This man....could travel time. Make his parents live again…get Krystina back...no more docks. Travis didn't mind the seafood, it was better than most crud he ate before this life, but the man had a point when he said that his only friend was a nonliving element...

The man grabbed Travis. "I can make your life better....if you want proof want we can go visit your mother...."

Now Travis was actually thinking. He still had his doubts. But could this man help me if I chose to help him? My parents..my mom..I could see her again. But If I do….save my mom.. If I saw my mother again, I might never meet Krystina,because we met in middle school, after my mother died when I was ten. That was one of the main reasons we'd met, because of my problems with my dad. I'd run away and we met in a park...

There had to be a way Travis could get Krystina back without the use of time travel. To hell with the better life. He just needed to learn to make a better life in this life right now. Travis now began to realize that this was a test from God. His mother and Father were waiting in heaven, and would rather be up there than on Earth again.

Travis nodded at the thought. This was simply God's test. To find life within life. Travis had to get Krystina back. He'd show her that she could trust him, that they could actually live with each other even marry each other. But Travis would need to learn to live with his power first.

Travis took the man's hand off his shirt.

"You don't need to do that. I already know where my parents are, and they are probably happier than they ever were on this rock. All I want from you if I help you is the ability to control my powers. I need to make my life better myself."

He knew about Krystina, which made him very uncomfortable, and even a little angry.

"I'll get her back myself. I mean it. But know this; if she gets in danger in any way...there will be hell to pay..."

Arthur laughed "Ah…youth…a time were our imagination's our limitless. You're a very stubborn one, Mr. Friedman. Perhaps a view of what you can have in the current time, will change your opinion about joining me." Arthur used his ability, and suddenly both of them vanished. They both appeared in the past, and upon their arrival Arthur rendered them invisible. Despite his pleas......Travis was taken back through time. He was invisible....but his 10 year old self, and his mother and father looked real enough. Travis almost cried seeing his parents again, and seeing how happy the ten year old looked.

" I can make everything better... I can still make it so you meet Krystina, start a relationship, and all of that."

Arthur concentrated on Travis, being the superior telepath he was able to hear Friedman's thoughts. "

"You think this is God's test? Your more foolish then I thought. Mixing religious morals with the hellish life you've gone through. What you need is to grow up with your parents. With that Arthur focused, and returned both of them to the current year. Arthur and Travis were once again visible, Arthur taking a few steps back. He took out a gun out of his pocket, and cocked his head to the side.

"You're in grave danger..Travis Friedman… even…as we speak there is an Invisible Man watching us." He tossed Travis the gun. Arthur focused "Many dangers await you…Travis..however you can avoid them..if you seek out Pinehearst" He tossed Travis a Pinehearst card, before vanishing into thin air.

Travis stood on the dock. So the thoughts were that of an invisible man, entering his head... Travis looked at the gun...and then at the card. Travis would scare the public holding the weapon, so he tucked it away in his pocket, which was pretty big. The pocket did hold his Swiss Army pocket knife he'd had for most his life as well...Travis looked at the card....the words rang in his head again...

You think this is God's test?

Travis put the card in his back pocket.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Petrelli," Travis said to the spot Arthur vanished to, "No. I don't think this is God's test, I know it is. He's tested me before, and I've come out of each one. You may be a telepath, but you will never know how much He means to me, and you will never know my true feelings about this whole thing. No matter how hard you look into my mind..."

The sun was starting to set in the walked to the edge of the dock.

I will find life......with or without your help Petrelli....

With that, he jumped into the water and began swimming along the coast. He had a stop to make...

Pinehearst: Cell Area

" Have you located Noah Bennet?"

Elle couldn't help but jump a bit from surprise to see Arthur appearing out of know where. "Nope….he is not cooperating," She glared evilly at Mr Thomas as small electric sparks seemed to bounce off her hands. The man struggled in his chair a bit as if to get a way but he was strapped in too tightly. Elle turned her attention back to Arthur, "so what have you been up to today….anything exciting?" Her eyes seemed to sparkle a bit as she moved around the back on the man again but this time she seemed to strut a bit enjoying the fact she was making him scared.

Arthur sighed "First off..that's okay. If you can't get the info out of Mr. Thomas, I'll just read his mind. The point is you need to learn how to get information out of people, without a telepath by your side. So do whatever you can, including torture..if he gets near death..I'll deal with it.

Elle smirked at the word torture, "Did you hear that Mr Thomas?...I get to torture you until you give me the information even if it means nearly killing you." She chuckled getting all excited

He shrugged "I tried to recruit a special known as Travis Friedman. He wields two abilities, and I want to find out how. If we can discover the source of his powers, we might be one step closer to completing the formula.

"A new recruit sounds interesting…..can't wait to see him," she walked over to the small table that stood in the corner, a jug of water and two glasses was standing on top.

"However like I said earlier..we first need to deal with Bennet , and my ex wife. Thanks to painting the future I've discovered, that with Nathan's help they intend to start a new company with the Government's help."

"Great! Why does your wife, ex-wife always have to go against you, doesn't she know she is better off on this team then the other….What about little Claire are her and Noah still close otherwise we can always go kidnap her and get Noah to hand himself in," she smiled at the thought of having Claire locked up again. She shook her head and focused again, "what about Peter? What is he up to?"

"You worked for Angela', she's very stubborn. But all we need to do is get a double agent, and we can make sure not even the Government can restart the Company. As for the new recruit he's stubborn. He doesn't want to join, because of his religious values, and such. Also messing with Claire will alert Angela of our return, one thing we have on our side currently is secrecy. Peter..is out saving people with his abilities, the fool is risking exposing all the specials."

Elle had her hands resting on the table as her head hanged low staring at the jug of water as she listened to Arthur. "I think it's funny how people think that God was the one that gave them these special abilities when it really was just a group of scientists who thought it would be fun to experiment on people." Her hands turned into fists remembering all the tests her father and the company made on her. She would be strapped into a bed while the forced large voltages of electricity into her body to see how much she was able to resist. Her head popped up as she smirked,

"I'll help you get Peter if you like…but not before I had a little fun with this guy." Elle picked the jug up and the twirled elegantly around before throwing the water all over Thomas. He gazed at her looking quite confused at how that was supposed to hurt him. Elle walked towards him and took a seat on his lap, smiling cheekily as she pulled the tape around his mouth off. "The only words I want to hear out of your mouth is where Noah is okay, nothing else." She got off him and then made her way over to Arthur.

"I ain't telling you nothing!"

"Okay…nice accent by the way," a ball of electricity forms in her hand as she playfully stares at it "you know water and electricity don't work well." She bends down next to the small puddle off water that laid underneath him, the ball off electricity disappears as she gently places her finger into the puddle sending electrical currents across the water and to him. "WHERE IS NOAH?" The man struggles and cries out in pain as Elle sends high voltages of electricity. When she finally stops the smell of burnt skin, boiling water and blood can be smelled. Elle straightens up and returns to Arthur side, "So shall we leave him so he can think about where Noah is?"

Arthur nodded "Well...That was definitely torture, but you are wrong..the origin of abilities is unknown. The origin of Synthetic powers is known, but not natural powers. Anyway thanks for the offer, like I said if Peter's not careful he might expose Specials, I've already sent Knox to go get Peter . He's outside, here's a plane ticket. Arthur waved his hand, making a plane ticket appear in Elle's hands. "Hurry...You don't want to miss your flight" and with that Arthur vanished.

………………..

Yeah The chapter focused on Arthur Petrelli, and his plans for specials. He's an interesting character who only had like 7 episodes in the show, although he managed to depower, and murder half the cast. As well alter their destinies, but that's another story. So yeah..Arthur wants Peter captured, and..Travis to join him. Your all probably wondering why Arthur didn't just catch Peter himself, and mind control Travis. The reasons for this..may or may not be revealed. Reviews. Also tell me any inconsistencies.. I make. PLZ.
