December 21, 2008
Gabriel Gray was doing something that he hadn’t done in a long time. He was going to see how the shop that he had once abandoned was doing. He was the owner of that building, but lately he had been working at Pinehearst. It was a better paying job. He wondered if he should shut down the lovely establishment because there was no way for him to own it anymore. He wasn’t a Gray, he was a Petrelli.
He headed towards his watch shop and grabbed the keys to open the door. As he opened the door he turned on the lights and gazed around the place that was now occupied with dust and spider webs. It had been that long since he last opened this place. He sighed and flips the closed sign to open. He shook his head and just went and sat behind the corner with his feet on the desk as he used his telekinesis to clean the area.
You could say that Gabriel was lazy, but he rather used his powers to do something. An hour went by and the entire store was cleaned. He bit his lower lip and took out his Nintendo DS that was in his pocket and began to play the video game as he waited for a customer. No customers were probably going to show. This was why he hated this place, no one ever showed up.

Lily had been in America for quite a few years now, but she hadn't lost her typical British accent, and she still missed a lot of things typically British, like an English breakfast. Oh yes, they had them over here, but it wasn't quite the same. Only in England could you get a proper English breakfast.
Today she was out and about doing a bit of retail therapy shopping in Brooklyn and that's when she remembered Gabriel from school. She was certain he had a shop somewhere nearby in Brooklyn. As she walked along, she finally saw it, and wondered if she should go in, but from the outside it looked like it was closed.
However as she walked closer up and looked in through the door, she saw him, immediately she remembered the fun they used to have and she knew she just had to go in and talk to him. She opened the door, and popped her head round the door before the rest of herself. "Hello Gabriel, it's been a while, how are you?" she asked him with a huge smile, before coming the rest of the way into the shop and letting the door close behind her.

Gabriel was just playing his Nintendo DS and expected that he wouldn’t have customers today. To be honest, he wasn’t in the mood to even fix watches. He just wanted to come to this place and just have a relaxing day. Working at a company known as Pinehearst could stress you out and plus Riley was getting a bit on his nerves.
Riley Bishop was a nice kid, but for some reason Gabriel felt as if she was annoying and spying on him. He had no clue why and really didn’t care about thinking about that at this particular place and time. He could always think of that at Pinehearst. Today he was on mission to finish the Pokemon game in his Nintendo DS.
As Gabriel was listening to this idiot of a professor’s speech on the game he heard someone opened the door. He placed the game on pause and looked up as he placed the game onto his lap. Gabriel’s eyes grew wide as he heard the familiar voice and a smile crept onto his face. “LILY!” He exclaimed with a bit of happiness.
He turned off his Nintendo DS and got up as he placed it on the table. He could always play the game later. He went over to his old friend and hugged her. He was glad to see her. It had been a long time since they saw one another and he wondered if she knew about him as Sylar.
Gabriel decided that perhaps it would be best if he didn’t tell her that. He stepped back away from her and closed his eyes. Lily had never seen him without glasses and he wasn’t going to put any on. He just hoped she didn’t ask any awkward questions. “So how are you!?” He asked as he placed his hands into his pocket.

It had been quite a while since she'd been in Gabriel's company or spoke to him, as she said hello she wondered if he would remember her, but she didn't have to worry, when she heard him say her name in exclamation, he had remembered her and as he said her name, she let a wide slow smile appear across her face.
"Gabriel!" she repeated after he said her name, and when he hugged her, she hugged him back, he still had the same scent he always used to have, but there was something different about him, she couldn't quite put her finger on it yet though.
As he stood back and closed his eyes however, that's when she realised what was different about him. He wasn't wearing the glasses he used to wear when she last saw him, he must have gone and got himself some contact lenses she thought.
"Contact lenses, I knew there was something different about you" she said with a grin, she didn't even ask if he had them she just assumed, and she wasn't going to actually remark on the glasses he used to wear. "I'm alright Gabriel, same old, same old, but I've missed being in your company" Lily said warmly, "Although I could do with a good holiday, what about you Gabriel?" she asked him before using her Illusion ability to turn the shop into a beach by the sea. "Much better" she said as she sat down on the chair and looked up at Gabriel and winked.

Gabriel hugged her back and smiled as he kissed her on the cheek. It was what friends. It was just something that he decided would be a nice jester to her. He was trying to act nice to her. It was hard for him to be nice. However with her it didn’t feel hard.
That was a good sign.
It would seem that she noticed he didn’t have his glasses on. He wondered if that was good. He just had to make up something. To be perfectly honest, he wasn’t wearing contact lenses. Ever since he figured out the brain he made it so that his eyes were prefect.
“Yup, I got contact lenses, I was sick of being the dork” He said with a smile. It wasn’t the truth, but he really didn’t care at this particular moment in time. He was just glad to see an old friend. He gave a weak smile as she changed the shop into the beach.
“Very funny, now change it back” He said as he folded his arms giving her a childish look. He didn’t mind her doing that. “Okay, I’m joking” He said with a smile. “Very much better, but I can take us to the real place, but then again my partner might get a bit jealous” He added.

Lily smiled when Gabriel kissed her on the cheek and she kissed him back on his own cheek. The typical friendly greeting Lily would always greet friends, especially a friend she hadn't seen for a while. She had missed Gabriel, and it was good to see him again. Maybe they could once again have the fun they always used to have.
"I thought you must have had contact lenses now, because I knew you couldn't see without them glasses" Lily said grinning, "You look so much better with contacts Gabe, you should have tried them a lot sooner" Lily said winking and teasing him a little.
"Oh Gabriel you always spoil my fun" Lily said when he told her to change it back, she was just about to when he said he was joking. "Glad to know you were just kidding Gabriel" she said, but clicked her fingers so it went back to normal. "So, take me to the real place then" she said and laughed.
"Partner huh? So Gabriel gone and got himself a woman, so where does that leave me? With the mad scientist friend of yours? Mohinder, that was his name, right?" she said grinning. "I'm sure whoever your partner is, they wont mind us going somewhere as friends" Lily said winking and following it through with a laugh.

Gabriel smiled and listened to his old friend. He certainly missed having these conversations with his old friend. She was just amazing and it was a sad thing that they kind of lost in touch. He frowned and shook his head. “Why thank you!? My crazy adopted mother wanted me to go back to the glasses” He said making a random statement.
He just gave a chuckle. “Of course, I like to spoil people’s fun” He said as he placed his hands on his hips and stuck out his tongue as if he were a child. “I’m glad you knew I was kidding, Lily” He said a smile and as he gave a simple wink. He rarely gave winks around people. “Na, I like New York” He said teasing again.
Gabriel raised an eyebrow as he folded his arms, “Not a women” He said correcting her as he shook his head into disbelief. He couldn’t believe was admitting that he was with a man. It just felt awkward. “Um…the partner is Mohinder” He said giving a weak smile “The mad scientist” He admitted as his face turned a bit red. “I don’t think he would mind us being friends” He added.

"Really, well no, I'd stick with the contact lenses if I were ..." then she trailed off, wait, had he said adopted mother? Now that was something she didn't know. She put her hand up, "Woah, back up a bit old chum, I didn't know you were adopted, when did you find that out?" she asked him completely stunned. So if Mrs Gray wasn't his mother, who was.
"Yeah, don't I know it" Lily said when he said he liked spoiling people's fun. "So, if you prefer New York, then that's my idea of fun out the window then" she said with a grin, as she turned the shop back into a beach setting once more. "If you will not take me to the beach, the beach shall come to me" she said winking, as she once again sat down, this time with a sangria in her hand. Oh this is the life, she thought.
So shocked at Gabriel's reply, she lost concentration and the illusion disappeared and Lily ended up on the floor, when the imaginary seat she was sitting on disappeared. She stood up and quickly turned around with a raised eyebrow. "Really?!" but she said it with a grin on her face, she really wasn't that repulsed by it or anything.
When he then went on to say who with, Lily's made her face mock fall "Damn Gabriel, you had to take my only other option away from me, now who am I supposed to have?" she asked, grinning at him, because she was teasing him, and if he still knew her well enough, he'd know she was teasing him. "Well, good for you old chum, that's all I can say" she said to him, as she leaned on the shop counter, looking up at him.

He shrugged his shoulder back as Lily told him to back up a few moments. He gave a slight frown, “Yes I was adopted turns out I wasn’t the son to a snow globe collector and a watch maker” He said shaking his head “My real parents are Angela and Arthur Petrelli, so that would make me related to Peter and Nathan Petrelli” He said as he looked down at the floor.
He looked up from the floor and just shook his head. “I like the cold” He said with a smile as he shook his head again watching her bring the beach back to the shop. He just couldn’t help, but laugh. It would seem she loved to use her ability.
He sucked with using that ability. Okay, he really sucked at using it. He just used the ability to illusion himself as other people. He could never do anything that Lily was doing. Of course, he could try and master it, but it really didn’t matter to him.
He blinked as she fell on the floor when he told her about Mohinder. “Yes” He said as he just bit his lower lip. He looked at her and sighed, “He has always been mine, what to know what is even sadder, I murdered his father” He said sighing, “Bet no one ever told you, but I’m Sylar”

Lily couldn't believe what she was hearing when Gabriel confirmed he was adopted and his birth parents were Angela and Arthur Petrelli. So, Gabriel wasn't a Gray after all he was a Petrelli, now that really was something. She raised her eyebrow as she looked at him.
"So, Gabriel Petrelli, who would have thought it" Lily said and then grinned, "Well you'll always be a Gray to me, how do you feel about it though?" she asked her old friend. Lily had heard a lot of the Petrelli's and they seemed a very dysfunctional family, and she was pretty certain she'd never be their best friend. Especially after finding out they abandoned their own son. "Peter as a brother and Nathan huh? The President-Elect" that really was something Lily thought.
"Yeah, I remember, and I like the heat, that's why I moved to the States" Lily said with a laugh, she was joking actually, the cold wasn't so terrible, but she did like to spend her time on beaches, especially beaches caused by her ability.
When he told her he'd murdered Mohinder's father, and then went on to say he was Sylar, she just shook her head, not quite sure she believed it at first, but not really caring too much at the same time. Gabriel was her friend, and no matter what he had done, he'd always be her friend.
"Ah, who cares Gabriel, I know I don't and I'll always be your friend, although I'm rather surprised Mohinder doesn't mind the fact you murdered his father however" she said with a slight raised eyebrow.

Gabriel wasn’t a Gray which good because he was awfully sick of being considered a Gray. He hated his adopted parents. Okay, he hated his adopted mother. He had nothing against his adopted father. He sighed as he thought about it.
He gave a smile, “I guess I will always be a Gray also, but I thought my adopted family was a bit dysfunctional then I meet my real family and it just went crazy” He said sighing “Daddy is supposed to be dead, but he isn’t, Mommy is a bitch, I haven’t got close to Nathan, so I don’t know and Peter and I are pretty tight!” He said explaining it.
“Well, you should have moved to California they always have sun and barely have cold” He said teasing a bit. “Instead of Illusion, you should have gotten, Teleportation” He said shaking his head “It would be best then you didn’t have to fake beaches” He gave a smile.
Gabriel was expecting his friend to leave when he admitted that he murdered Mohinder’s father and that he was the murderous Sylar. However, it would seem that she wasn’t going to leave. For some reason, people didn’t care that he was Sylar.
He just shook his head, “We had our little dispute at first, but we are over that” He said when Lily mentioned that fact that Mohinder doesn’t mind that he murdered Chandra. “I have this side effect of my ability and I was unable to control it until I met Mohinder, so he like my own personal savior” Gabreil said.

Lily laughed slightly, "I guess you must attract dysfunctional Gabriel" she said, which was a shame, because as far as she was concerned Gabriel didn't deserve it. "At least your close to one of them, that has to mean something" she said giving him a weak smile.
"So, do you think you'll ever introduce me to this dysfunctional family of yours, or maybe Peter at least?" Lily asked grinning. She thought it was fantastic, Gabriel had a whole new family, that had to be something special.
"If I had thought about it, I could have moved to California but then I wouldn't find it easy to talk to you when I want, and as for my ability, if I could have been in control of gaining my ability, I might have opted for Teleportation, so I didn't have to go fake beaches" Lily said, and then poked her tongue out at him, in a very childish manner, but she felt she couldn't help herself, and then followed it through with a laugh.
"Well I guess its good Mohinder was able to get over it and help you" Lily said with a smile, even the worst people in the world needed somebody to believe in them she thought, because without love and someone believing in you, you just spiral out of control. At least that's how Lily looked at it anyway.

“Dysfunctional seems to attract to me it would” He said with a slight smirk. It was the truth and he really didn’t know why. It just seemed that odd people attracted to him. For whatever reason, Gabriel really didn’t care.
“I could probably introduce you to Peter and my niece Claire, but other than those two. I would say that you wouldn’t want to the rest” He said sighing. He wasn’t sure if she should met his biological parents, and Nathan. It just wouldn’t seem right.
He just nodded as he listened to Lily speak about if she had the ability of teleportation. He had the ability of teleportation, but decided that he wasn’t going to even show her it. He looked at her as he shook his head and rolled his eyes, “Very funny” He said as he folded his arms.
“Yup it is a good thing” Gabriel said with a slight nod. Gabe missed talking with Lily and was just glad that they could finally catch up. “So how about you, how are you doing!?” He asked

Lily raised an eyebrow, "Oh really Gabriel?!" she asked in exclamation when he said dysfunctional was attracted to him. "And am I dysfunctional?" she couldn't help but ask, desperately trying to keep a straight face. She loved to tease Gabriel, it was a wonder he still classed her as a friend in all honesty.
"Oh, so you get on with your niece Claire? Is she Peter's daughter then?" Lily asked, she had to assume so, since he got on well with Peter, then it must be his daughter he also got on well with, otherwise it wouldn't make too much sense to Lily. "But yeah, I'd love to meet them if that was alright" she added with a grin.
"Sorry" she said apologising for sticking her tongue out at him, and once again trying to keep a straight face.
Lily nodded her head slowly when Gabriel asked how she was doing. "Yeah, am alright I guess, I just get lonely sometimes, you know, not having a man in my life, and my two options are away from me now" she said, still continuing with her earlier joke, and sighed, then laughed. "Sorry, I'll be serious now, but yeah I do often feel alone, I'm so glad I remembered you worked here, it's always good to have a friend" she said with a warm smile.

“No you’re not dysfunctional” He said shaking his head. “You’re probably the only normal friend I have and that is like rare among me” He said with a slight smirk. He stuck out his tongue as he folded his arms over his chest.
Gabriel listened to what Lily had to say about Claire. Claire wasn’t Peter’s daughter. Peter would have been eight-years-old if Claire was born and that just didn’t make any sense. He raised an eyebrow and shook his head, “Claire is Nathan’s daughter, the President-elect” He said as he gave a smile “Perhaps you can met them, if I could get them all in the same room” He said with a laugh.
“It’s okay” He said with a smile. He laughed as he closed his eyes and the watch shop changed into Japan. “Finally” He muttered to himself with a slight grin on his face as he opened his eyes
“You will find someone” He said as he frowned a bit. He then closed his eyes again and the Japanese area that they were in disappeared. He raised an eyebrow “No joking” He said as he narrowed his eyes. He felt sorry that Lily was lonely. Perhaps it was because of him. “I would set you up with people, I know, but they are taken also” He said with a sad tone. He then smiled at her. “Yeah, I’m closing it down, I got a better job in New Jersey” He admitted.
