Enemies to Lovers - Part Twenty Seven
"Tell us a story Peter," Marie demanded as she, Molly, Gabriel, Peter and Noah walked up the stairs for bed. Angela had left to take care of Company business hours before and still had not returned and Matt had gone to talk to Mohinder.
"What kind of story?"
"Like, what happened in the future?" Molly asked.
"Okay," Peter agreed as Gabriel lowered Noah into his crib. "Everybody get comfy." Molly and Marie settled into their respective beds and Gabriel leaned against the wall adjacent to Noah's crib. "You don't have to stay Gabriel."
"I want to hear this, too."
Peter shrugged before beginning his story.
"The future version of me had come back in time and transported me into his time. I guess things weren't all that different. I mean, there weren't like flying cars or anything. But people were flying. Someone had made a drug that could turn normal people into people like us. Everyone was special."
"Then what was wrong?" Molly asked.
"Well, it wasn't just good people that were special, it was bad people too. Really bad people. They we're destroying the earth. Peter was explaining things to me, telling me how I needed to get Gabriel's power in order to understand how to stop everything from turning bad. He got injured and I had to find him on my own."
"How'd you do it?"
"I tracked down Mohinder. He told me that Gabriel was living in Costa Verde. In Claire's house. When I got there, I was prepared for a big fight. I still knew him as evil Sylar."
"But?"
"But when I got there, this little kid came running down the stairs and was like 'Hi Uncle Peter, dad's making waffles' and I was so confused. So I followed the kid into the kitchen and there was Sylar, making waffles and wearing a 'Hail to the chili' apron."
The kids laughed at this.
"Then what happened?" Molly asked.
"Then Gabriel and Noah and I ate waffles," he lied for their sake. "That's who the kid was, Noah."
"Noah was there!?" Marie asked. "What about me?"
"And me?" Molly added.
"I don't know about you Marie, I never saw you. I never saw you either Molly, but Daphne mentioned you."
"Who's Daphne?"
Peter smiled. "Doesn't matter. Anyway, we ate waffles then Claire and some friends stopped by for a while and then I came home."
"Did you ever get Sylar's power?" Molly asked.
"With persuasion. Now you guys get to bed and we'll see you in the morning."
Molly and Marie sighed in unison but climbed into their beds.
