Unexpected Measures (Angela)

[tony]

October 21, 2008

Anthony Osborne or Tony as he was well known around the place walked into the Company. He was seeing Angela Petrelli, she wanted to tell him something and it sounded urgent. Then again what was so urgent about it? He could never tell with her. She had just became head of the Company after Sylar killed Bob Bishop and managed to escape from level five, how many times? It just seemed weird that of all the villains, that Sylar was the only one that would actually escape level five without being detected. That was just wrong.

Tony was also helping trying to figure out those killings that were going across country. He wasn’t sure who was doing those. It kind of seemed like a political thing and dealing with political crap always gave him a headache. He didn’t know why, but he just hated political shit. He bit his lower lip as he made his way through the Company building. He wasn’t sure where Angela’s office was. But it had to be somewhere in this building.

He walked past a few offices, before finally finding her office. He stood in the door way with his arms folded and leaning against the wall. He didn’t say anything, he just waited for her to actually acknowledge his presence in the Company. He really didn’t work, for the Company, he just helped a lot with them. He was what you would call their F.B.I contact. There were a lot of them (human and humans with abilities) in different parts of the government working, for the Company.

Earlier that evening, her planned shopping trip with Claire to help bond with the girl had been cut horribly short, when she caught both her sons trying to take the other out. Not only that but Peter having managed to gain Sylar's hunger ability, had turned on her and the rest of them just like Gabriel. She had made up her mind to get plenty of people involved in bringing down Peter and Sylar, as they began to group together some villains to help them create havoc by killing a lot of people.

So she had called Tony Osborne an F.B.I. agent Angela trusted completely when ever she needed help from them. She wanted him to keep an eye on Peter and Sylar and liaise with her and the teams she was going to put in place. Sitting with her head in her hands, she hardly noticed when Tony had arrived propped up against her wall.

Looking up for a brief second she saw him and smiled, "Tony, please come and take a seat" she said beckoning toward the empty seat opposite her.

She didn't want to tell him about Peter and Sylar being brothers yet, she wanted to try and protect Peter for as long as possible. "I have some things I need to make you aware of and I'm going to need your full attention and co-operation on it" she began, as she stood up and poured out two glasses of water from the water cooler.

Sitting back down, she passed one of the glasses over to Tony.

[ooc I'm not going to have Angela tell Tony about Peter and Sylar being brothers, because Claire tells him in Lunch thread which is dated later than this one]

[tony]

Tony nodded from where he stood and made his way to where Angela had instructed him to sit at. He sat down in the empty chair that was opposite of her. He wondered what was so important, that she would need him usually it had something to do with level five or whatever. However, that was just with Bob, he wasn’t sure what Angela wanted him to do.

“What is it?” He asked in a sour tone as he watched her pour some water into two glasses. He didn’t mean to be in a sour tone, but he wasn’t used to Angela Petrelli. He was used to Bob giving orders, not Angela, but since Sylar had killed Bob, Angela was put in charge and he had to face the facts with it.

He took the glass of water that she had poured for him and took a sip of it, “What do you mean cooperation?” He asked as he raised an eyebrow and took another sip of the water as he awaited Angela’s reply to his two questions which were both the same or something it would seem.

[[Okay, no problem]]

[angela]

Angela continued to smile weakly as Tony sat down and took the offered glass of water from her. This was probably going to prove a difficult task in hand she thought. She'd never dealt with Tony directly before, even though she was an F.B.I. agent she and The Company trusted well. Bob was always the one who dealt with the dealings of Tony and the F.B.I.

"It's Sylar" she began, looking at Tony not taking her eyes off of him for a second. "He's somehow managed to corrupt my Peter, Peter managed to get the hunger from Sylar, and the two of them are now together, causing trouble and going on killing sprees" she continued, she took a sip of her water, "and the most recent news I've heard is they're looking to get a gang of villains together, to do only goodness knows what" Angela finished explaining what the problem was.

Now she just had to explain why she had asked him here. "I need you to keep a close eye on them both, try and keep a track of what they're doing, what they're planning. I've put together a special team who will hopefully help get all these villains brought in" she said, stopping to take another sip of her water. She would have to tell him about Hiro and Mohinder, but they could wait until she had Tony's co-operation.

Tony watched Angela’s facial expressions as she gave him a weak smile. There had to be something that she wanted him to do and he wasn’t sure what she wanted him to do. He hoped that it had nothing to do with catching Sylar or anything like that. Tony hated dealing with villains, especially Sylar. Ever since Tony absorbed Intuitive Aptitude from Sylar and made contact with him, Sylar always taunted him in wanting him to unleash the ability on people and become like him. Tony was disgusted with that and didn’t want to become like that.

“Sylar?” He questioned as he looked at Angela. It would seem that Angela wanted him to do something with Sylar. He then raised an eyebrow when she mentioned that he corrupted Peter and got his ability. He had the same ability, but he wasn’t like that and he hoped never to be like that. He bit on his lower lip, “So Peter has Intuitive Aptitude?” He question again.

He took a sip of his water and coughed, when she mentioned that she wanted him to keep an eye on both of them. “You want to keep track of them, by joining or what?” He asked a bit curious, “I will do as long as I don’t have to join them, I have the absorb Intuitive Aptitude from Sylar, a long time ago and I’m not risking it, to be like them.” He announced, not sure if he made any sense.

[angela]

"Yes Sylar" Angela agreed, with a slight nod of the head, "And yes Peter does have what is known as Intuitive Aptitude now, he somehow managed to get it from Sylar" Angela said as she sighed. She hated the fact her beloved son Peter had turned evil. But she hadn't given up hope on him, she was adamant they could get Peter on the right track with a little bit of help and encouragement, and getting him away from her other murdering son Sylar.

"No, Tony I know how dangerous it is for you to join them and try and pretend to be on their side, no I want you to do this from afar and report back to me, or to Elle Bishop. I'm going to be hiring her as a liaison from me to the villains" she explained, and took some more of her water. Then she once again leaned back in her seat, sighed and continued to explain some more.

"I'm sending in Hiro Nakamura and Mohinder Suresh as Double Agents, they will be doing the close work and they will report to Elle, who will then report to me. I'm sure Elle is more than capable of coping with the task, but I'd just feel more safe if I thought there was an F.B.I. agent involved too" she continued, sighing again.

"So, will you do it for me please, Tony?" she asked of him nicely.

[tony]

“Interesting” He began with a slight nod, “Well, it doesn’t take a genius to figure it out, Angela that Peter absorb the power from his ability. His ability is quite different from mine, we do have the same ability, Peter and I, but both of ours are different” He said as he sighed also. He knew Peter’s ability was just like his expect both of theirs were different. Peter could absorb anybodies power, and Tony, himself could only absorb people’s abilities once a month.

“Well, good because I never would do that, it is too dangerous. You know, I’m an F.B.I agent, but they aren’t that stupid” He begun “I can do this from afar and I will report back to Elle or you” He said with a smile as he took a sip of his water. He was never was a fan of water, but for some reason this water was addicting.

He nodded in agreement as she said that she would send Nakamura and Suresh. “I hope those two can pull off being villains” He said as he shook his head, “I have faith in them, I guess” He muttered “I see, Elle can’t fuck up anything else right?” He asked as he knew that she made a mistake in letting all of level five out.

“Yes, I will do it for you” He said with a smile.

[angela]

"Well, yes of course he absorbed Sylar's ability like all the others he has now, but he's been around Sylar before and never absorbed that part. The hunger part, not until now anyway" Angela said sighing once more. She was very much heartbroken over Peter. With Sylar, she'd always known he was going to turn out the way he did.

"Of course, I would never dream of sending you in there with them Tony, I hope you realise that" Angela said forcefully, because she knew it could turn Tony the same way as both her sons. She couldn't have Tony turning on her conscious just to save her sons. She wouldn't have it.

"That is wonderful Tony, you do not know how pleased I am you are willing to do this for me, thank you" Angela said emphatically. Maybe thanks and kindness weren't usually in Angela's dialogue, but she had an important job on her hands to bring her sons back to the real world. Make them strong, make them good, and she'd just about to anything to make it happen. Kindness and pleasantries certainly wouldn't hurt when trying to get people to do work for you.

"I do have faith in the young Hiro Nakamura, I believe he will serve me well, Mohinder I'm not so sure about, but he does seem trustworthy" she replied when Tony spoke of them both being able to pull off being villains. "I have a feeling Elle will do very good this time Tony, I think she may have a soft spot for my Peter" Angela said with a sly smile.

"Thank you Tony" Angela said again.

“Well, I could be the next one, Angela, I absorbed it also, and god knows who could be next, Angela” He said. He shook his head wondering, if he would really be the next one. He had a gut feeling and he hated knowing that he could fall victim to that plague of a power any minute, any day.

“That is good to hear, Angela” He said with a weak smile as he lost himself in thought, wondering, if he would be like Peter and Sylar, if the ability that he absorbed, so long ago when be tempted to come out of him and do many things. He didn’t want to be able to do those kind of things, but that was life.

“You’re welcome, I think” Tony said as he raised an eyebrow, listening to Angela speak. She was speaking in a kind hearted tone. He wondered why she would even want to do that. She always seemed a bitch, to him and yet here she was acting all sweet and innocent, something had to be up and he wasn’t sure what to put his finger on it yet.

He nodded, “Nakamura, is good, he might do well and I’m unsure I’m Suresh, he is an odd character, who knows what they could do with Suresh’s scientific brain…” He muttered as he looked at Angela, “Elle can do good, if she doesn’t overload her ability” He said.

"No problem, Angela"

[angela]

"I know you absorbed the power Tony, but hopefully if I can fix Peter and Sylar, then I can fix you too" she said in a strong voice. She didn't know why she thought it, but she couldn't help thinking that people were expecting her to be a bitch for some reason. Yes it was true she had been known to be a little hard with certain people, and be a bitch in the eyes of some, but Angela knew how to act if she needed something done.

Angela smiled at him, when he said she was welcome, but followed with he thinks, she raised her eyebrow at this. She couldn't really blame him though, it wasn't the easiest of tasks she was asking him to do, but she knew he would do it, and she could trust him to do it.

"Well, I'm glad you agree with me about Nakamura and Elle, I guess we shall just have to wait and see if Suresh can prove himself worthy or not" Angela said, lowering her head slightly. For some reason she trusted Mohinder Suresh, but Tony seemed unsure, and that worried her ever so slightly.

"I'm going to be calling another meeting on the 3rd November, just to let you know, I'd like everybody on the team to meet up and just get to grips with what is going on" Angela said in case he was getting ready to leave. By the 3rd she hoped to have everybody recruited for the team she needed to help bring down the villains once and for all.
