Tragic fun (open)

[rocky5]

28th April, 2009

Ryan journeyed to New Orleans. He thought to himself that it was finally time to give back to the community. He was going to preform a song and have a fun raiser. He was going to invite Friends and family. He wanted this to be a big thing. Helping out fellow Americans in there time of need. He wished he could have done this earlier but time and time again his personal life got in the way. Who was Ryan Linderman anyway? What was his real goal in life? Ryan threw his childhood years just wanted to be loved. Rebekah and Angela gave him that. During his teen years he just wanted to be known in this world. Lineman's reputation gave him that push. The media caught on to the young aspiring singer and he soon was making songs and selling out. Mostly to girls of his age whom liked him for his looks. Guess you could attach a pretty face to anything and it would sell.

Ryan now wanted to help people. His abilities wernt the only way he could become a hero. There was more to being a hero then what power someone has. Ryan would try to prove that. He did have money and all but he thought that being a hero should come from the hart not the bank. Ryan's career went no were in the music industry mostly because he never preformed live. He would make Cd's in his house and sell them to the stores that way. With college eating away at him there was just do time to go on tour or preform on stage. But this time he felt to be the exception. The setting is New Orleans. The surrounding area was covered in rides, food stands, games, events and a stage for the musicians in the audience.

Ryan walked up on stage. People gathered and cheered. Ryan Lineman's first on stage performance. He was a bit stage frightened. He looked at his musicians who gave him a nod. Signified that he would be fine. Ryan began to walk over to the crowd he clapped his hands. "This is for all the people who lost there homes!" He yelled and the crowed cheered. " This is for everyone who suffered on that day when the flood hit!" He yelled once more as the crowed cheered even loader then before. He preformed. When he was done he smiled and waved to his fans. He jumped off the stage and landed on the ground. As his feat touched the pavement he looked up with his baby blue eyes. He smirked as he saw the person he wanted to see. One of the people that meant so much to him however this was the first time he actually saw him in person. It was his brother, well half brother. " Petrelli, Peter Petrelli! He called out from the mob of people cheering for more singers. Ryan wasn't that known in the music field yet but his Cd's sold and gave Ryan some extra money. He of course spent the money on things like this, Fun raisers for people in need. Sure he could have just gave them the money but fun raisers also lifted the spirits and made everyone happy. He almost called in a certain puppet master but decided not to go that far. He heard a man in recovery from his evil ways was pretty good at it.

[ooc: no worries it's cool - also put in a date - need it for my calendar, if it don't suit Ryan - let me know]

Peter had found out he had two siblings he wasn't aware of. He couldn't believe it when he read it in the news paper about Angela and her 'son' Ryan Linderman opening up youth centers. Peter had wanted to know who this 'son' was. Nathan had then taken great pleasure in telling him about Ryan also and what he had done to Claire the day she had been kidnapped and lost the baby. Peter hadn't been too impressed with it, after all he loved and protected Claire, certainly as much as he could and he was so annoyed he wasn't there that night to help. But Nathan had been, so that was the main thing.

Then a few weeks later he read another article about another Petrelli going missing. Reading the news further he was shocked to find out he had a sister, well adopted sister. Why does mom always keep so many secrets from us Peter thought to himself furious at having to find out in a newspaper article. Even when he confronted her about both issues, he soon mellowed as Peter does, being the softer out of the two oldest brothers. Realising his mom just needed love when she was failing to get it from his father, and giving a young girl love and stability when she needed it most.

Today however, he had heard of his half sibling Ryan doing a charity fund raising concert, and he felt that it would be the perfect opportunity to meet this sibling he hadn't met yet. Besides he still wasn't overly impressed with the way he handled the Claire situation and wanted to say as much, however, mostly, he just wanted to meet his new brother. He would have to meet his new sister sometime soon as well. It would seem the Petrelli were a family who were always being hunted in one way or another.

He listened to the song and thought it was great, he couldn't deny his younger brother had a good voice, and he seemed to be getting quite a cheer from the crowds. It was at that point he heard his name being shouted out. Peter looked up slowly and caught his eye. He gave him an awkward smile as he flicked his head to the side making his way forward in the crowd.

"Ryan, finally we meet, I'd sure like to know why mom keeps so many secrets in this family" Peter said as he looked him up and down and then broadened his smile a little. After all it wasn't really Ryan's fault he had been kept a secret from them was it? But what was his fault, was the way he treated Claire that night. He'd heard it from Claire that he had done it to get to the attacker behind Claire, but Peter wanted to hear it from Ryan himself. But he would get to that soon, first he just wanted the awkward introductions out the way.

[rocky5]

Ryan had just been one of the many secrets Angelia Petrelli was hiding. She always seemed to be pulling the threads behind the senses. Or have some hidden knowledge unknown to many. It was her mysterious nature and overwhelming prescience. Ryan loved his mother to death and wouldn't have any other. He loved almost everything about her but he did wish he could have saw more of her. Known more about her and his other side of the family. He knew he had two brothers both older then him. He read Peters files over many times. He could only Imagen what abilities he must have picked up. He could copy any ability in the room? Did that include Ryan himself? Most likely. If Peter absorbed Ryan's ability then they would need to relocate. Ryan constantly puts restraints on his ability by manipulating his nerves and blood flow. He slows down his hart so that the energy in his body is not all relished. If Peter did infarct absorb the power then he wouldn't know how to restrain himself leaving it open for many possible miss haps.

Ryan was nervous to go near the man. He might suddenly fire off bones or grow extra skin maybe even hair. He might change shape or size and even generate mass amounts of blood. Could someone like Peter master something that took Ryan years to master in just one day? Ryan thought his power was strong. Ryan wasn't strong enough to protect the ones he cared about. Stabbing Claire as he thought no other way around it. Letting Rebekah be taken and brutally attacked. It was about time to seek out help. Ryan got in over his head and now maybe this meeting would form a new partnership. Well thats what Ryan had hoped for. Ryan saw Peter wave to him. It was like seeing another version of himself. One created by a different father and slightly older. Ryan just felt something connect when he saw him. Maybe it was just a weird vibe or perhaps some intimidation or nervousness. He hadn't really been doing well with this new side of the family he had.

Peter spoke to Ryan in a nice tone, Saying that They Finlay got to meet and stating that mom kept so many secretes in the family. Ryan smirked, he had no comment. Ryan didn't want to bring up the fact that he new of the two older brothers for years. It would be like rubbing it in there face. Ryan had to know since Nathan was in the public spotlight most of the time. It was only naturally. Ryan pieced together Angela's other life. She was always with the Petrels. " Yeah I wanted to see you at lest once in my life time." He joked tweeds Peter. Ryan gave Peter a hug. He was unsure if it was the right thing to do or if Peter would have gotten freaked out since they hardly know each other. Ryan while hugging his brother whispered in his ear. " I need to talk with you alone. Follow me." He whispered to him.

Then turned around and started to walk into a tent. The tent was unoccupied. " OK so we have some privacy. " Ryan told Peter. He looked at him knowing what was on his mind. " Your here about your ..... are neice. " Ryan thought he would get right down to it. It was a horrible thing that Ryan had done. " Listen I regrete what i did to her. Even though she would still be able to heal herself and she couldnt feel the pain. That is still inhuman and i would never willingly do such a act. My ability has a side effect. With every intense emotion my body and brian shift to that emotion. I was experencing a wave of fulled rage and while in that state my body acts as if it wore an animal. It was just instinct to stab Clear and get to the other person as she could easly heal herself. But the still, " I didnt like hurting her. And i whould have did more to protect her. I was just thinking of killing the pepole who did that to her that i lost track of what was truly important. Her life." Ryan ended with that and hopped this man Peter

[peter]

Peter sort of chuckled slightly possibly in a nervous way, when Ryan said that he had wanted to meet him at least once in his life. It was actually something Peter understood, since finding out he had a half brother, he wanted to meet him at least once in his life. "Same here Ryan" Peter said and then Ryan came toward him and hugged him. Of course this was usually only something he done with Claire or Becca, so it was sort of awkward, however he hugged Nathan from time to time, in that brotherly manly hug that men always do, so he hugged Ryan back, slapping his back with his hand as he did so.

That was when he heard Ryan say that he had to talk to him and walked off somewhere, Peter just followed him. They were soon in a tent, and Ryan said that they now had some privacy. "Alright, so shoot, what you got to tell me" Peter said, as he stood there wondering what his brother had to say to him, which was so important they needed privacy for. However Peter soon began to realise once Ryan started speaking.

Once Peter was certain Ryan was finished explaining himself, he sighed gently, moving his head to the side, as he gave him a small side ways smile. "To be honest, I was going to ask you about that, Claire said you only did it to get to the attacker, she forgives you, I know Nathan might not come round so easily, being that Claire's his daughter, but I think I understand, I wouldn't have done it myself, but I do understand why you did it" Peter said, as he looked away from Ryan for a few seconds.

No doubt Nathan would go crazy if he knew he was saying that to Ryan, but really what good would it do to be bitter over it? Claire had got over it, so really he and Nathan should too right? "The main thing is, Claire is safe, even if she did lose the baby, she's safe and she doesn't hold you responsible, and well, now I've heard it directly from you, neither do I." Peter gave his brother a small but reassuring smile.

[rocky5]

Ryan had always wanted an older brother figure in his life. He would see the children around the neighborhood and in the school he went to. They all had older or younger siblings. Ryan felt left out half of his life but he felt if he had a brother or sister things would have been different. Now he got two of them. It was a perfect fit for Ryan's new life that he was trying to make for himself. Ryan felt like Nathan would never forgive him for what hes done to Claire. It was honestly a curse within him that caused his power to overwhelm him. Ryan alt ho feeling like his relationship with Nathan was going no were could possibly be involved in Peters life. He wanted to be good friends with him and felt like he could maybe relate to Peter. Well more so then Nathan.

Peters always been caring and even put himself in the medical careerer track. He devoted his life to saving people both as a Medical technician and as a man with an ability. Ryan was the same way. He devoted his life to the more scientific side of the medical field. He wanted to help people gain knowledge about themselves and others as well. Ryan has always been rich but never once has he put anyone down for not being so. He values money but values human beings more. So charities and fundraisers even carnivals like this one have always been apart of Ryan's life. With Ryan's ability he had been donating organs and blood to victims around the hospitals. Ryan actually had other plans to open his own small clinic free of charge for all the people with no medical coverage. He felt deeply upset when he would see Dr's and other staff charge people badly injured with bills reaching high over there budget.

Ryan realized that he might have spoke out of turn or context when he told Peter about what had happened to Claire. Peter seemed OK with it. Not that he approved that kind of act but he seemed like he understood the situation and why it had to be done. Ryan hoped he could glue the broken pieces back to get Claire and Nathans approval as well. Claire, from what Peter had said forgave Ryan. Ryan blew out a sigh of relief. " I'm not trying to get you to agree with my actions. I don't like what Ive done and i am ashamed i did such a thing. I just wanted you to see why i felt it had to be done. If there was any other way...... I .... " Ryan started to stutter a little bit. He was nervous. Peter could most likely tell from Ryan's face expression. He was pressured to have at lest one other person on the Petrellie side of the family like him. It was strange for Ryan to feel this way. He normally didn't care what people thought of him. Growing up a lindermen he was picked on and teased. Bullied by alot of Lindermans rival companies and gangs. Ryan had a weired way with people. Some he wanted nothing more but there love and acceptance such as Rebekah and his mother. Some people he just never truly cared what they thought about him.

Peters smile and words touched Ryan deeply. He nodded his head. " Thank you," He simply said in a kind voice. Now Ryan could act like his normal self. He wanted to change this mood a bit. " Alright Peter lets lighten things up." Ryan told Peter now more lively and in a comfortable position leaning on the wall. When Ryan tried hard to think of something to do nothing came up. He didn't know Peters interests and likes. The he thought well change the topic anyway. " So lets play a game to get to know each other better. " He suggested. " We each ask the other a question and the person who asks it answers there original question next round. So ill ask you whats your fav color. Then you answer and ask me a question. Then ill answer with my fav color and a answer to your question. And ill you something different. " Ryan explained trying to keep this conversation from turning down the Claire path again. " So well..... Whats your favorite color?" He asked Peter as if he didn't know that was coming.

[peter]

As Ryan continued to talk about what he had done to Claire and why, Peter just stood with his head hung low, he really hadn't wanted to hear about it so much in great detail. He had after all, already heard it from Nathan and Claire's point of views, both of whom thought very differently about why Ryan did what he did. Peter felt like he was torn between the two of them at the time, because he could understand why Ryan had done what he did like Claire, but he also knew he wouldn't have done such a thing, and so he understood the anger his brother Nathan was feeling. When Peter was certain Ryan stopped long enough for a breather, he gently put his hand on Ryan's shoulder and keeping his head down he said, "Ryan, what's done is done, it's better to leave it in the past."

Peter might have understood and he also might have forgiven him, but he didn't want to continue talking about it because Peter didn't like thinking about Claire being hurt especially when he hadn't been there himself to get involved or help. Of course Peter had told Ryan he forgave him and he could tell it lifted the younger guy's spirits, so Peter began to relax even more, now that he was sure the conversation of Claire would be dropped. "You're welcome!"

Ryan then started going on about playing some sort of game to get to know each other better. Peter heard himself chuckle again slightly at this. Yet he thought he might as well go along with the idea. After all this was the first time either of them had met, they should get to know each other, and hopefully it wouldn't be the last time they would meet either. Maybe he and Ryan could go saving the world together, providing he kept that ability of his in check.

"Alright then, I guess" Peter agreed and then laughed at the first question, as if it wasn't going to come anyway. "Alright, possibly blue, although when it comes to clothes I tend to wear darker shades." That was as honest an answer as he could think of, besides Ryan hadn't stipulated if he'd meant favourite colour in general, or clothes he wears. So, now he had to ask Ryan a question if that's the way the game was working from what he understood.

"Alright, so favourite music, by that I mean, singers or groups?" Peter asked, as he shook his head slightly but smiled anyway at the way they were trying to get to know each other more. However Peter could have thought of many better ways to get to know each other more, but from what he could see Ryan was too young for what he had in mind.

[rocky5]

As Peter stated that it was best to leave it in the past what happened between him and Claire Ryan agreed. It was still hurting him inside though and he wanted to make it up somehow. Ryan wouldn't drop this easy he was determined to make it up to her and show that hes sorry. The only question was would Nathan even want Ryan to? Ryan personally felt the same as Peter to drop the subject. He was glad he wasn't going to Judge Ryan on that encounter. It was completely out of character for him. Just another one of those things he would always regret. As Ryan said thank you Peter responded with a loud welcome. Ryan laughed a little bit as he knew it was over and they could move on.

Moving on to the game Ryan asked Peter what his favorite color was. Peter responded that it was blue and he normally wore darker colors. Ryan nodded. " Mines white for its meaning. " Ryan said with confidence. " In Japanese tradition, white is the color of mourning and death. It is also used for depicting Peace and Purity in the Indian traditions. A white flag is an international sign of either surrender, or truce, that is, it is a sign of peaceful intent." Ryan described his favorite color as he was inspired by its meaning. Then it was Peters turn to ask the question. Ryan wondered what type of question he would have to answer. Peters question was what kind of music Ryan listened to. "Well... " Ryan Begin as he felt a little like an odd ball. " To tell you the truth I'm kinda a musician myself. Normally i sing pop songs but..." He paused to give Peter a smirk. " Your going to laugh at me but I have a passion for Disney songs such as Aladdin and lion king, The sound track to Pocahontas and Tarzan i find myself singing over and over. " Ryan admitted. He felt like a little to old to be watching the movies made for kids but he felt there were some good emotion in them.

Ok so the questions were answered now it was Ryan's turn to think of a new question. He had to admit this game was silly. Mostly it was childish and maybe a bit corny but Ryan had to think quick. He wanted to lighten the mood up and he felt this game had done so. It changed the subject and got a conversation going, Though it was like he was in third grade again but Ryan sort of liked pretending to be a child again. He never really had a normal childhood so now as a struggling teenager with an ability and businesses to run he feels he deserves a little kid fun. " Ok so my turn. Since were on the topic of movies whats your favorite movie? " Ryan asked. These questions were simple enough just generally a good way to get to know someone a little better. But Ryan was itching to ask peter more personal questions as they opened up to each other with each new answer.

[peter]

He listened carefully, nodding his head in several places as Ryan went to explain his favourite colour was white and all it's relevant meanings. Peter actually found himself finding it very interesting that one colour could mean so many different things. He felt a bit lame now for not having a valid reason why he liked the colour blue. "Interesting!" Peter said with a nod of the head to the side and a side ways smile.

When Peter had then asked what Ryan's favourite music was, she hadn't expected the answer he heard. He thought Ryan being young and hip, he'd have been into some of this rap or hip hop or even heavy metal or rock like himself. However, Peter didn't think it was necessarily bad, just different. "Well I have to admit, I certainly didn't expect that answer, but if that's your thing, that's cool, oh by the way, you got a rather good voice, wonder what side of the family you get that talent from" Peter said teasing Ryan slightly.

And that would be the final proof Ryan would need to know Peter had truly forgiven him for what happened with Claire, Peter only teased people he really cared about, like Claire and Becca for instance, even Nathan when he was in the mood for it. "Alright, well for me it has to be Aerosmith, Nickelback and Bon Jovi, although I do like quite a lot of different music depending on my mood" Peter said honestly with a smile.

Favourite movie, now that was a difficult question to answer, because there were so many good movies out there, how could you possibly just choose one? However one movie did come to mind, a movie he felt was uplifting and made him view life very differently on a number of scales. "Well if pushed, I'd have to say Love Actually, I just remember feeling so good after watching it" Peter said as he lowered his head and blushed ever so slightly because he knew it probably wasn't a 'man's movie' so to speak. Now it was his turn to think of a question again.

"Alright on the subject of movies, whose your favourite actor?" Peter asked, however he was beginning to wonder where this conversation would eventually lead, they couldn't just keep asking themselves silly questions like that for the remainder of their conversation could they?

[rocky5]

Ryan was happy that Peter didn't get bored with his rambling about his favorite color. Ryan could get a little to mythical about a large number of things most people wouldn't even think twice about. Ryan often had an eye to find things hidden beyond the normal. Because Ryan wasn't normal himself he just appeared to be, maybe that was the reason behind his intentions and discoveries. Ryan felt a little embarrassed about his favorite music. The truth was just as Peter guessed he did like Rock and Rap mostly R&B it was allot of different types of music that Ryan listened to but he just like the Disney songs for some strange reason.

Ryan laughed as Peter told him he had a grate voice. Ryan himself thought of it as OK or average but that was just him self doubting himself and talent. " Thanks glad you like my music." Ryan replied. " This is the first time your hearing it or have you listened to it before?" Ryan asked Peter wondering if he was a fan or if he just happened to like it. Ryan laughed even more when Peter joked about were he got the talent from. It seemed that both of his families had some strange talents. When Peter told him about his favorite music Ryan smiled. " Oh yeah there are some good songs from those guys. " Ryan commented on his taste.

Now it was Ryan's turn to be surprised. Peter told his favorite movie was Love actually. Ryan laughed a little bit but it wasn't like he was making fun of him. Ryan had to think of his favorite movie. He of course wanted to pic something that inspired him to become a hero. He chose a movie that he thought would inspire others. " The movie I think is my favorite has to be Spider man. I like how a hero can come from anywhere such as a small spider bite and the hero himself can be anyone like the nerdiest kid in the class. " Ryan told Peter. This might give Peter more of an in depth personality trait about Ryan. Then Ryan was asked his favorite actor. It would seem like he was going to point out a cute girl maybe or a kungfu master but Ryan's favorite actor was much more funny. " Has to be Will Ferrell." Ryan stated. He loved the sense of humor in his movies and that man never failed to make Ryan laugh.

Ryan thought this game could go on forever if it was left unsaid. So it was about time to tie it up." Ok now that we know a little more about each other i think we can end the game." Ryan told Peter not giving him a question. " I kinda wanted to ask you something though. I didn't want to come out with it right away." Ryan had to admit to Peter. " Well I know you've done some work for moms company. Are you still involved with them? " Ryan asked Peter curious as to were he stood on the whole subject. " I would have loved to have been your partner now that we discarded that one of us one of them motto. Whats are new one again? .... All for one, one for all!" Ryan said jokingly about the last part but more serous about the first.

[peter]

Peter nodded his head with a smile, "You're welcome and this is the first time I've actually heard you sing" Peter replied with another smile. "If I'm brutally honest? Not my typical style of music I'd enjoy, but definitely a good voice" Peter added being as honest as he could be without hopefully hurting his new found brother's feelings.

"Yes there are some very good songs by those guys, I actually missed out Creed, I love them too, their song Arms Wide Open is very good indeed" Peter said with a slight nod of the head and flashing Ryan a winning smile.

Peter listened as Ryan spoke about his favourite movie and he nodded his head in several places as he listened, "Yes Spider man is also a very good movie, but for me Love Actually just makes me feel so good after I've watched it" he said, emphasising once more why he liked the movie so much.

"Ah, Will Ferrell, yes he's certainly good for raising a smile on the face, my actor is Liam Neeson" Peter replied, he wasn't going to tell Ryan he was in Love Actually, but he had been in a few other movies which weren't quite so well how could you put it? Chick flick type like Love Actually was, but Peter could be very emo, so Love Actually is his favourite movie and he doesn't care if people laugh at him over that or not.

"Fine by me Ryan, fine by me" Peter said when Ryan suggested ending the game now they knew a little about each other. However Ryan then went on to say he had another question he wanted to ask. Peter began to wonder what it was going to be and if he was even going to like the question.

"Actually, no I don't work at The Company Ryan, never have and never would, not really my thing, I do my own thing, but it would have been cool to be partners" Peter said shrugging his shoulders back ever so slightly. The Company was his mom's thing, it wasn't something he was ever interested in getting involved in himself. He wasn't even sure about the quote rule thing, so he just sort of smiled and shrugged at that.

[rocky5]

When Peter told Ryan this was the first time he had heard him sing Ryan just nodded his head with a small mmhmm. It was nice that he thought Ryan could sing well but not to important. Same with the style of music that wasn't Peters first choice. Ryan continued to nod. " Yeah my songs are more for the ladies anyway." Ryan joked with a wink. Ryan dint think anything of it that Peter didn't like his music. It was just away to make extra money and also he wanted to shed the image of his father. Ryan wanted to be known as more then just the mobsters son. Threw these songs and events Ryan could drag a audience in and they will then see that Ryan's views are much different from his fathers by listening to the lyrics.

Ryan could only laugh when Peter still hinted to the movie love actually. He had never seen it but the girls he had spoken to about it all told him it was a very good movie but guys wouldn't like it. Ryan didn't want to be rude and tell him it was odd but to him it seemed like it was. But as Peter redeemed himself with his actor Ryan thought maybe he had more of a tough side after all and that movie just reminded him of something or touched on what he hoped to find out in the world. Ryan had only seen one movie with this actor but the movie was very good. " Oh yeah that guy plays in that newer movie taken." He commented having just bought the movie a few days ago with a Friend it was fresh in his mind.

Peter was OK with Ryan ending the game. This was a good sign because it could mean he wanted to talk about more impotent things but also on the other hand it could mean that he had become bored. Ryan would think positive and assume it was the first one. Peter told him that he never joined the company or would never work for the company at that. Ryan couldn't see why not but he secretly felt happy with Peters answer. The truth was Ryan felt like he had to compete with his two brothers. They seemed to shine in ways Ryan couldn't possibly. Peter was extremal powerful from what Ryan knew of and he had back round medical training. He was well on his way to become something great. Not to mention that his personality is kind and hes so nice and thoughtful.

Then there was Nathan. Nathan was the freaking precedent of the united states for goodness sake. He had an important job and alto of responsibility. Some how he pulled it off and still had time to raise 2 sons and a daughter. Nathans mere presence could change the tone in a room. It was that and with the ability to fly it felt like Nathan was out of reach literally and mental. Ryan wanted to have his own thing apart from the brothers. Peters got his hero type personality Nathans got his political Carree and pull in the government, Ryan wished to work for the company and help his mother in anyway he could. Ryan had to think of something to say to Peter so he wouldn't show his true feelings. " Well i want to help mom, Shes getting old yaknow. " Ryan told Peter lightly.

[peter]

Peter chuckled slightly, "Yeah, figures, but hey it's good for the women right?" Peter said and gave him his typical half smile, with flick of the head to the side followed by that subtle wink he gives all family members. "It's all good Ry, it'd be a sad world if we all liked the same things anyway, right?" Peter added, as he smiled at Ryan again, and hoped he wouldn't mind him calling him Ry. It wasn't even as if he'd thought about it, just Nathan and himself often called each other Nate and Pete, and the Ry just sort of came out.

"Yes he is, but he's also been in Love Actually, but the movie I really award him for is Schindler's List, very hard hitting movie, but very, very good." Peter said, telling Ryan that Liam was in Love Actually after all, but that he was also in the very brilliant if hard hitting and sad Schindler's List. A very powerful movie about the Jews during the war.

"Yeah, mom's getting old, she'll be pleased to hear you say that you know" Peter said with a laugh and a slight shake of the head, even if it was true, Peter knew Angela wouldn't be happy to hear one of her son's talk about her age like that. "I'm sure you do a good job for mom anyway" Peter added with another smile.

"So, do you think I might get to meet this new sister of mine any time soon? Good way to find out about it though, The Chronicle with an article about her being missing, good old mom, you can always count on the Petrelli's for damn secrets." Peter wasn't exactly mad, but it did tick him off the way things got kept secret within the Petrelli family, he thought that had disappeared when his father died, obviously not.

[rocky5]

There was not much Ryan wanted to tell Peter about his plans to maybe recruit him in a team of his own. Not just yet he wasn't sure if Peter wanted to join it or not, If he didn't then that would be of course a bad thing. Ryan's team would be known by him and that would put them both in danger. There was a funny moment as Peter called Ryan Ry. He smiled and thought to himself that it was kinda cool. Having a real brother like this would seem odd at first. Normally the only people ever to call Ryan that was girls who liked him or were close to him. Ryan had just meet this man. Ryan thought that he would have to come up with a nick name for Peter, Pete just wont cut it.

Ryan just nodded at Peters comment about the love actually movie yet again and Ryan felt like Peter obviously must have liked it very much. Ryan laughed at Peters remark about his comment about there mom. Angela was of the older generation of evolved humans. It was funny that Peter and Ryan both had different aspects of her. Peter commented that Ryan did a good job for her. Ryan shrugged, " I do what i can and always try my best but the truth is I sometimes feel like my best isn't good enough. " Ryan told him. Peter asked Ryan when he would meet his new sister. Ryan smiled. " Soon i hope, shes been a really good friend to me and is almost like me and her are truly brother and sister. I love her to death and trust her with my life. " Ryan told Peter. It was kinda funny that Peter and Ryan were brothers but it didn't feel as if they were and Rebekah and Ryan weren't siblings but it felt like they truly were.

(ooc:sorry its short no muse.)

[peter]

[ooc: Don't worry - I think it's time to bring this thread to a close in the next post or two]

Peter nodded his head and smiled at Ryan, "Well I'm sure your best is good enough for mom, no matter what you think yourself, and that's the main thing, right?" Peter said with a question. Peter then realised he had promised Claire a visit and as he looked at his watch he realised it was getting near time for him to be in Washington. Thankfully he still had Nathan's flight ability and he would be able to fly to Washington and it wouldn't take him too long.

Peter gave a half smile and tilted his head to the side when Ryan spoke fondly of his sister, Peter's new found sister also. "It's good that you feel that way about her, hopefully once I meet her, I'll feel the same way myself." Peter certainly took the news well about his new sister which had been as much a secret as Ryan had himself, Nathan on the other hand, Peter couldn't guarantee how well Nathan would take the news. He knew Nathan didn't like secrets.

"Well Ry, it's been a pleasure to finally meet you, but I promised Claire a visit, and I think I should get heading off to see her, I'd ask you to come along, but until Nathan calms down over what happened to Claire, might be best to stay away for a while." Peter was then about to take off, but before he did so, he turned back to face Ryan, "Keep in touch Ry, it'd be good to meet up, now I've met you and if you ever need me for anything, just call." Peter said, as he handed him over a piece of paper with his cell phone number written on it.
