Feb 18
Cameron Osborne walked down the Riverwalk of Laughlin. It was a beautiful day in Laughlin it was in the upper seventies, not bad for a February. Of course, Laughlin was known for the heat in the summer. If this was the summer, the Riverwalk would be very busy – today it was less crowded which was good. Cam hated the crowds of Laughlin, they were the rudest and drunkest people in the world he swore.
Nevertheless as Cam walked from the Riverside to the Colorado Bell he began to wonder if he would see any of his old classmates. Believe it or not Cam actually went to school in Laughlin. Yup – he lived out here with his uncle (this wasn’t Uncle Cale, but Uncle George) after Harrison and his mother died. His father thought it would be if one of the kids went out on the west coast.
So Cam went out to the west coast. Okay, so Laughlin wasn’t – like a beach city it was the middle of the desert, but Cam enjoyed it. He liked the heat – he was always an odd fellow. Hell, he became a pilot and majored in Astrophysics and yet he was now working as a Forensic Investigator for the FBI and sometimes working for NASA.
However, Cam was at Laughlin because of a murder investigation. The crime scene was at the Colorado Bell a tourist was found beat to death in front of his hotel room. So the FBI got the case instead of the Las Vegas Crime Lab – oh well, the FBI was the #1 Crime Lab in the country unlike – Las Vegas which was #2. Nevertheless, as he was texting on his blackberry he randomly ran into a person. “Um..I’m sorry” He said quickly apologizing.

Niki was on one of her mini shopping sprees. Ever since she had found out she was having twins, she had been going crazy buying two of everything. Well she didn't want them fighting over things. So, instead of one play mobile, she bought two, instead of one toy box, she bought two, and so on, you get the idea. Today was no different, she was now almost fifteen weeks pregnant and had quite the swell in her stomach. She was definitely bigger at this stage than she was when she was having Micah.
She had known she was having twins, she felt it, so it was no real surprise when the doctor confirmed it a few weeks ago. It was great to see both of them squirming around on the screen. Although they were still very much embryo's, not much of the babies had formed yet, her next scan would show that more. However, she was still proud and framed the first scan photo.
She had exhausted herself and the shops by this time, having at least five carrier bags in each hand, probably too much for a pregnant woman, but she was strong, the weight was nothing to her really. As she began to make her away to the car, she began to fumble for the keys and immediately dropped them. She bent down as best she could to pick them up, and as she did so, she felt herself bumping into somebody.
A male voice apologised before she got the chance to, and Niki thought she knew the voice. She stood up slowly and turned to look at him, giving him a bright smile. "Cameron?" she began questioning, just in case it wasn't him, but she was sure it was, she had gone to school with a Cameron Osborne, and it sure sounded like him and now it sure looked like him. "Cameron Osborne! I don't believe it" she said continuing to smile, turning it into a grin. "How are you?" she asked.

Cameron’s eyes were a bit blurry. He always seemed to forget to wear his geeky-glasses, but that was just a part of who he was. He was actually not that quiet dumb, but sometimes it would seem to other people that he was dumb. He had been wearing contacts for a while, but ever since they expired he just decided to wear his glasses and sometimes forget to wear the glasses.
He heard a voice – a familiar voice, but couldn’t put it with a name all he needed was to see her face. He put down his blackberry in his pocket and took out his glasses that were in his jacket pocket. He placed them on and could see better he then glanced at the person that was talking. It was Niki. “Oh hi” He said with a slight chuckle.
He raised an eyebrow. He was just shocked that he would actually run into an old classmate here in Laughlin. Last time he heard everyone was basically not in town – they all seemed to move out of the town and to other towns.
He noticed that she was carrying some bags and decided offer to help. “Do you need any help, Niki?” He asked a bit curious “You look you shouldn’t be carrying that load” He said as he noticed the little swell. Okay so technally he didn’t notice the swell – he figured she was pregnant because of that glow that pregnant women gave away.

Niki grinned as she realised Cameron recognised her also, which was just great. It was strange running into an old classmate like that. She hadn't seen Cameron Osborne for quite some time. It was so good to see him again. When he said hi, she just continued to smile at him, "Hi" she replied back.
He then asked if she needed help, commenting on the fact she shouldn't be carrying such a load. Well being at least fifteen weeks pregnant with twins, it was bound to show. She laughed a little, "Yeah, maybe you're right" she began in her familiar husky voice, "I sometimes forget and end up going overboard" she added, as she picked up some of the bags.
"Help would be great, thanks Cameron" she added with a smile, as she continued to walk toward where her car was parked. It had been such a long time since they'd seen each other, she began to wonder what he had been doing with his time, if he had done anything exciting.
"So, what have you been doing with yourself Cameron?" she asked, hoping it might spark some conversation between them, certainly she had plenty to tell him if he was interested, but first she wanted to know if Cameron had anything exciting to tell her first.

It was strange running into a classmate, but that was a fact of life especially in hometowns. Of course, Cameron never expected to see any of his old classmates here. It was just a surprise. He nodded and didn’t say a word, not sure what to say to be honest.
He laughed when she said that he was probably right and just nodded when she said that she forgot and ended up going overboard. Women were always that way it would seem. He smiled and replied, “Hey, I’m not always right” He added to the mix, it was a random quote and probably didn’t make any sense.
“Alright” Cameron gave Niki a smile as he helped her with the bags. He followed her to her car, hoping that he wouldn’t get into trouble – sure he should have been working on that case, but to be honest it was just a dead end. He hated dead ends.
“Oh, uh nothing…I majored in Astrophysics, went into the military, and ended up working for the FBI as a United States Air Force advisor” He said with a slight nod. “So what is new with you?” He asked a bit curious. He was curious because he didn’t know what else to speak about as he waited for her response. He got a text message.
Kidnapping of Evolved Humans has began – the Rebellion will soon begin.
-Red Leader

Niki laughed a little when Cameron said he wasn't always right. That could be true, after all Niki wasn't always right either. "Okay, well I think you were right regarding this at least" she replied smiling, as she continued to head toward the car. When Cameron agreed to help her with her bags Niki smiled at him again. "Thanks Cameron" she said.
It didn't take too long to get back to the car, and Niki had the boot opened within a few seconds, she put the bags in she was still carrying, and smiled at Cameron waiting for him to put in the ones he had taken from her.
As Cameron explained what he had done with his life since she last seen him she smiled, "Someone's been busy, and you sound all very important too" she teased slightly, grinning. He then asked what was new with herself. Well not so much, and one thing was fairly obvious.
"I run the Super Hero School for the kids, and I met and married a wonderful man by the name of Brennan and I'm now pregnant with twins, so that's about what's been happening in my life" Niki explained, and then watched on as Cameron received a text. She thought it might have been from his place of work.
"That work Cameron? You have to go?" she asked him, because she was going to suggest they went for a coffee together. She stood smiling waiting for his reply.

“I’m not that all important, I’m thinking of ditching the FBI and teaching Astrophysics in either Vancouver or in Colorado” He said shaking his head and nodded when she told him about what was new with her. It seemed good for her. “Congrates” He said with a slight pause “So whatever happened to DL and you?” He asked hoping not to touch a raw spot.
Cameron after all did go to school with DL and Niki – those two were particular attached to the hip. Cam might have been a brilliant student, but he hung out with the weird people. He basically tutored Niki in High School – they were just friends. Hell, if it weren’t for him she wouldn’t have got out of High School either would have DL.
He looked down at his phone and read it. “No, no my cousin was just telling me something” He said looking up from his text message. "He is just bragging to me that he is like best friends with President Petrelli, he is really odd" replied Cameron.

Niki smiled, and rolled her eyes slightly, typical of Cameron not thinking overly highly of himself. "Maybe you don't think you're all that important, but you sound it" Niki replied, and smiled some more and then he spoke of quitting the FBI to teach Astrophysics instead. "Well, that sounds good as well" she added, Niki figured he'd make a good teacher.
Then Cameron asked the inevitable after she told him about her and Brennan, what had happened to DL. It was still very sad for Niki, but at least she was able to talk about it without breaking down now. Being with Brennan had a lot to do with that though. She sighed gently, and then gave him a weak smile. "You couldn't have heard, DL died Cameron, I had a tough time for a while, Micah had stay with his grandmother, but I'm alright now" she explained, hoping it didn't sound too bad, that she was now with another man. However, Niki wouldn't be with Brennan if she didn't think it was right.
Cameron said his text was from his cousin having some sort of claim to fame by knowing President Petrelli. "I see, must be excited about the fact if he's texting you about it" Niki said grinning, thinking it strange for a cousin to text just to say that they were best friends with the President.
[ooc: I don't know if Niki should get a text about the Rebel thing too, what do you think?]

“Yeah, I guess I’m still all that important” He said shaking his head when Niki said that he might be all important with his job at the FBI. Although he preferred to quit and just teach his major instead. It would probably be more funnier than chasing the bad guys, but then teaching could get boring. “Maybe, I’ll just stick with the FBI, chasing bad guys sounds better than teaching”
Cameron hoped that he didn’t touch a soft spot. He knew that DL and Niki were together and they seemed that would be together forever – it was rare for High School lovers to be together forever, but then reality came crashing down when he heard that DL died. “Oh, I’m sorry” He said with an apologetic tone. He didn’t mean to bring that up. “But Micah is alright, that is good” He said with a slight nod, he decided that next time, he wouldn’t bring up the past.
“He is Canadian – they always seem a bit strange, in my opinion” He said with a slight smirk. “He is just exciting because he got to be the head of this department, I know nothing about it, but it seems like an Anti-Terrorist group” He said as he looked down at his phone and then looked back at the ground. He couldn’t figure out what else to say.

Niki just nodded when Cameron ended up admitting that maybe he was all that important, the truth was he was all that important whether he believed it or not, but now it looked like he was admitting it, just to pacify Niki, but that would do her, she wouldn't go on about it. "Good" she said simply, with a warm smile. "And yes it is better than teaching" she said, and then realised what she had said, what would she know? She hadn't been in the FBI, but she was sort of teaching and she figured there could have been better things to do.
"It's okay Cameron" Niki said softly when he apologised, "You wouldn't have known, but yes, I'm alright now and so is Micah, and we have Brennan, so we're very lucky" she said softly, giving Cameron a bright smile. She still very much believed Brennan was her guardian angel and now they were having angels of their own. It was perfect.
As Cameron went into detail about his cousin and how he was Canadian and they were strange anyway, Niki kept nodding her head and smiling. "I see" she said, trying to understand what he was talking about when her own cell phone beeped, she flipped it open and she got a text message, she read it.
Kidnapping of Evolved Humans has began - the rebellion has also began. You are required to help in the rebellion.
Rebel.
Niki shook her head, "That was strange" she said, and then looked up at Cameron, with not having Brennan around to show him the text, she had nobody else to talk to about it other than Cameron himself. She turned the phone around to him, so he could see, "Look at the rather strange text I just got in" she said to him, waiting for a reaction, to see what he would think.
[ooc: I decided on Rebel, just for something a little different lol]

Cameron just nodded. He knew that it was best if he was admitting that he was all that important. Whether he believed it or not was clearly how he viewed the world and his opinion about what he thought. No one could take away that luxury from him. Well, they could but he wasn’t going to think about that. He just smiled. “So what are you doing these days?” He asked hoping he didn’t offend her. He hated when he did that.
He smiled when she said that it was okay. He felt embarrassed that he didn’t know about DL dying. He decided that he wouldn’t bring up how he died. He thought that she didn’t need to remember the past. It was probably hurtful for her and he didn’t want to make her sad, about talking about the past. He nodded again. “That is good, I’m glad that you have moved on and found happiness” He said with a smile.
For some reason, Cameron always liked to blame Canada – most Americans did, but he was part Canadian and just had to not blame Canada anymore. It was kind of hard to do that, but he seemed to survive when speaking on terms about Canada. He didn’t responded all he did was give Niki a simple nod when she said I see.
He raised an eyebrow as Niki said something about strange about her cell phone beeping. He watched her as she came up to him and showed him an odd text. He gave a sour look. So Evan had given Niki the same text message. He swallowed his tongue and replied, “Mother fucker” He said shaking his head “Guess you got the same text from my cousin” He said sighing.
[[occ: no worries lol!]]

Niki smiled at Cameron when he asked what she was up to these days. Well, she wasn't really up to much, in fact she hadn't done very much at all since she'd met Brennan, fallen pregnant and got married. She was doing some teaching at the school, but that was about it.
"Well, Angela Petrelli, don't know if you've heard of her, opened up a super hero school, I've been helping to run that and teach there, it's been enlightening. Some of the abilities the young ones have these days is quite remarkable" Niki explained giving Cameron another smile.
"Mind you, not sure how much longer I'll be able to work there for, or do anything for that matter, once these little darlings come into the world" Niki said, referring to her unborn twins. Once they were in the world, she would have much more important things to worry about, like their welfare.
"Yes, me too" Niki said simply with a slight nod of the head, when Cameron said he was happy that she had moved on and found happiness again. She had certainly found that. Brennan was a true angel.
When Niki had got the weird text and let Cameron see it, she hadn't quite expected the words which came out of his mouth. She raised her eyebrow at him, "Trouble?" she asked, she felt that it was a good thing to help stop evolved humans like herself being kidnapped.
Then he said that she must have got the same text as he got from his cousin. "Oh!" was all Niki could say. So what was it all about she wondered and more importantly what exactly did it mean.

Cameron was very curious to see what his old classmates were up to these days. He knew that some of them were lawyers or doing something else. Everyone had their own means of what they were doing. He just figured it would be nice to see what his old classmates were up too that was all.
“Yeah, I have heard of Angela Petrelli and I heard about the super hero school, my brother Tony used to work there before he was killed by Sylar” He said shaking his head. “And that is interesting, on what the young ones have abilities wise” He said with a smile. It seemed that she kind of enjoyed that job.
He nodded when she said that she wouldn’t be no longer able to work there for possibly a while. “Yeah, I see” He said as he knew that once the babies were born that she wouldn’t be able to work. Of course, all mothers did that it was just a matter natural progression.
Again Cameron nodded, this time not saying a word. He didn’t want to reflect on the past anymore. He was glad that she wasn’t sulking and depressed. Being happy was the best thing to happen to people. Hopefully, DL was glad that Niki moved on.
Cameron really didn’t expect those words to actually come out of his month. He really didn’t curse unless it was something that made him angry. He just gave a weak smile. “Yeah, trouble President Petrelli has decided that all people who have outrageous abilities to get captured, they are a threat to the American Public" H paused, "He asked my cousin to be in control of the process and recently he (my cousin) found that he was one of us, he kind of had a hatred towards us, but now he doesn’t have the hatred, so we decided to save these people”

Niki smiled as Cameron said he had heard of Angela Petrelli and had also heard of the school, that his brother Tony worked there for a short time. Niki then suddenly realised, she should have known that, put two and two together. Yes Cameron may have been the one she was at school and college with, but she knew he had brothers, yet when Tony started at the school she couldn't get the connection.
"Funny that, I remember Tony working at the school, not once did I get the connection that he was your brother, and yes Tony's death was heartbreaking, the kids missed him" Niki explained softly, she couldn't believe it was Sylar who had killed Tony, after all, he had even had a spell of working at the school for a period. What was she ever thinking of allowing him to work at the school, it was crazy.
Niki was outraged when Cameron spoke more about the mysterious text she had received, especially when he had elaborated before that she must have got the same text as he got from his cousin. She couldn't believe Nathan would have done such a thing, after all, he was just like her and Cameron.
"I don't believe it, I mean, how could he do such a thing, he's an evolved human himself. Alright there are a few dangerous abilities out there sure, but they can be controlled" Niki said in an angry voice. She was very concerned now, after all, what happened if either of the twins she was carrying had some ability like pyrokinesis, that would be deemed dangerous, but so long as you use it carefully it would be fine.
"Oh no Cameron" she said as she rested her hand on her stomach, "We cannot allow for this to happen, I will not let it happen" she said, as she read the text message again. The rebellion will begin, Niki would definitely be a part of that rebellion, Cameron's cousin could count on her.

Cameron was just getting over his brother’s death – it still tore him a part that something like that would happen to his own brother. He wanted to hurt Sylar for killing his brother, but knew that it wasn’t him. He just had to get over the fact that he wanted to hurt Sylar. Someone else could have hurt that jackass who did damage to their friends and family. It hurt, but people had to move on.
Cameron laughed, “Believe it or not most people don’t think we are brothers, I always get blamed for being some else’s’ brother.” He took out a photo. “See we all don’t look like” He said as he handed her a picture of his siblings and cousins: In the picture were: Anthony, Jacob, Rosie, Evan, and Tad. Rosie was the only girl in the picture. “That was taken before I went to Iraq, back when our family was close, now it’s just Rosie, Evan, Tad, and myself”
“Beats me, and yet we all voted him to become President” Cameron said shaking his head. He really couldn’t believe that he would vote for Petrelli. Of course, the guys said something about pulling out of Iraq and focus all the attention on Afghanistan. He just couldn’t believe that now they wanted to put evolved humans and capture.
Cameron just gave a weak smile. “Some abilities can be controlled yes, but some cannot be controlled” He said as he raised an eyebrow. “Maybe we could something – like start a little Rebellion against the government” He said with a smile. Perhaps that what his cousin wanted him to do. He was going to do that.
