I'll Be There For You {Alex}

[peterp]

Saturday 16th January, 2010

Peter was in California, somewhere he hadn’t been since Claire used to live in Costa Verde. However Claire, his niece lived in Washington now at the White House with Nathan, basically she was in her rightful place. Claire was family; she was just another family secret until a couple of years ago. The Petrelli family were full of secrets; right down to the underhand Company his mother ran which went under the guise of Primatech. Despite this Peter loves his mother and would do anything to protect her, in fact he’d do anything to protect the world, he was the ultimate hero. Angela had sent Peter to bring in a dangerous special who was based in California. This was what his mother’s company did; they reeled in the dangerous specials and kept them locked in a cell. Peter wasn’t an agent, he was a paramedic and a hero in his own right, but his mother had said she was short on agents and with him having both Flight and Super Speed he could go and bring them in for her.

Peter had spent all morning trying to track down the dangerous special but so far had no luck and now it was getting fairly warm even for January because California was like Nevada, always prone to being warmer than most States at this time of year. Soon enough Peter found himself at the beach, the same beach he knew Claire used to go with that lad she used to be with, West. It made Peter wonder what happened to him, he shrugged his shoulders slightly obviously not having any clue. He soon found a spot on the beach and slowly sat down on the sand and looked out at the sea. It actually looked quite inviting and if Peter had been more prepared he might have actually gone for a swim to cool down a little.

As he sat on the beach his mobile began to ring, looking at the caller ID he could see that it was his mother, obviously keeping tabs on how he was doing with the special she had asked him to bring in for her. He sighed and then flipped the phone open.

Peter: Hey mom.
Angela: Peter, my darling, have you had any luck tracking down that Scott Majors?
Peter: No, sorry mom. I’ve been looking all morning and have had no luck yet.
Angela: I see. That isn’t very good. We really need to bring him in; he’s just caused more damage.
Peter: Where about is he mom, did they tell you? Did you have a vision in a dream?
Angela: No Peter I have not had a dream, I have just been told by my contacts that he’s caused an inferno in a building in Costa Verde.
Peter: But I’m in Costa Verde now, and I’ve looked and looked.
Angela: I have faith in you Peter, my darling, you just have to look harder, get some help if you need it.

With that Angela ended the connection, Peter sighed and closed the phone. He had caused an inferno in Costa Verde? Surely someone must have seen or heard something? Peter got up off the sand and dusted himself down, running his hand through his hair he made his way to the main road again. If he was lucky enough to sense another special on the way, he might just do as his mother said, and enlist some help.

A young boy drifted to the beach at midnight. He looked for a soft spot to rest. There in the cool sand he found the comfort he was looking for. Alex rested his eyes for a moment and when he opened them the sun peeked its rays out from behind the heavy clouds. Alex looked around forgetting were he was. The birds chirped loudly like it was his personal alarm clock. Natures way of telling him to wake up. The waves in the water seemed to be high and moving fast. Alex got a sudden urge to swim. However at that moment the sun faded away behind the shifting clouds. "Hey Mr. cloud, please don't block up Mr. sun." Alex asked the clouds and in a moment the cloud pushed completely away reviling the bright warm sun in its full form. Alex smiled. He thought about the girl whom allowed him to shift the weather this way. Libby, She was a cute little girl around Alex's age. They became like brother and sister in such a short conversation. Alex had thought she would help him save the world. However he now knew she was part of the reason why Alex decided to now do good in this time and hopefully the future will be changed by itself via the butterfly effect. It was because of Libby that Alex wanted to connect with more people from this time.

Libby reminded Alex of Lydia. Another female who touched his hart. Becoming like his motherly type figure. Alex ventured away from her but he will soon find his way back to her home and loving embrace. Alex was a drifter never staying in one place for long. But now that Samuel was in jail Alex knew she would be safe in the carnival. He made a note to visit her. Alex had others whom he wanted to stay here for. He knew people in this time acted differently in this time then his own. They were more human if that made sense. Matt a man who had originally had a cold hart an aptitude twords the young boy but after a while warmed up to him and became a good friend. Alex hoped he can do the same with his current new relationship. Sylar. The ruthless killer who's power hungry involves cutting off the heads of his own kind. Alex offered a way for him to stop killing and Sylar played along for a while. But Alex has a feeling it wont last long. Still he was determined to reach his hart.

Alex took off his shirt and pants getting ready to go for a swim. He had to swim in his boxers for there was no bathing suits available. But he soon ran into the water as it splashed his face. Alex whipped the water off with wet hands. He dove into the blue ocean and found out what his abilities could really do. Alex had absorbed a ability from a swim teacher while conversing with Sylar but he never knew what it was. Alex could breath under water and could swim faster and see under water aswel. He felt like aqua man in his home below the ocean. Alex played around in the water for a while until he wanted to try diving. He swam at high speeds to the surface and then he shot out from the blue ocean into the sky like a cannon before landing on top of a man. Peter Petrelli. Alex got up quickly and held his hand out trying to pull the guy up. "I'm so sorry Mr. I didn't mean to hit you, I was playing in the water and then I jumped and crashed into you. Are you ok?" He asked him talking fast in a nervous tone. Looking back at the water Alex realized it would be impossible for anyone to jump on them from the ocean, it was far away from were they were. So Alex flew quite a few feet before landing on Peter. Alex didn't know what to do so he just gave Peter a thumbs up."Thanks for the catch." He said with a smile.

[peterp]

After the telephone conversation with his mom Peter knew that he had to track this Scott Majors down, he didn’t want to let his mom down as it wasn’t often he did anything for the Company for her, so when he did, he liked to do good. So he had begun to walk away from the beach and see if there was anybody he could sense might be like him, a special, who could help him either track this Scott down or help him bring him in. He was so deep in thought he didn’t even see the shadow which came over until they had basically landed on him knocking him over. Peter soon saw that it was a young boy and he began to chuckle. Running a hand through his hair, he looked at him with a raised eyebrow as the kid apologised to him. He soon put a smile on his face though, “It’s fine kiddo and no I’m not hurt.”

The young lad was holding his hand out to help Peter up, not that he would have been able to do it, although Peter did take the young lad’s hand, he basically used his own strength to get himself up off the sand. Then the lad began to tell Peter what he was doing, and the eyebrow rose even more as he looked at the distance between the water and where they both were on the beach. “That must have been some super jump kiddo, have you seen the distance? How did you manage that?” Peter asked not knowing that the kid was a special like he was, although having met so many he should have had a fair idea he was a special.

Peter had to laugh a little when the boy gave him thumbs up thanking him for the catch. Peter shook his head slightly but smiling, “That’s alright.” Peter wondered if this kid was a special if he’d be able to help him with his mission and then he shook his head, he couldn’t put a kid in that position, special or not. However he decided to introduce himself even though the kid probably knew who he was because of Nathan. “Peter Petrelli.” He said holding his hand out to the young boy to take and smiling down at him. “I’m on a bit of a mission however, I am trying to track this guy down for my mom. I may have to catch up with you a little later.” Peter explained as he began to walk away, he couldn’t bring this child into it, it just wouldn’t be right.

[rocky2]

Alex looked at Peter as he chuckled and ran his fingers threw his hair. Alex apologized to him and Peter responded that it was ok. He let him know that he wasn't hurt. Alex blew out a sigh of relief. The last thing he needed was to have hurt someone. He called Alex kiddo which made Alex laugh a little bit. He had never heard the expression before and thought it was cool since he was a kid and all. Alex then held his hand out to help Peter get on his feet again. Alex thought that he himself pulled Peter up. Little did he know Peter was doing most of the work. Alex afterward blurted out the events that led up to him jumping on top of Peter.

Peter commented that it must have been a super jump and that the distance was far. He later asked how he managed it. Alex grew wide eyed and looked around for an excuse. When he couldn't make one up he had to tell him the truth. "Well I sort of became a good swimmer all of a sudden and I was swimming faster then a jet plane then I shot out of the water like this,..." Alex began miming what he was doing and how fast he was swimming with his hands. "Swish!! aaaahhh!!" He made the sound effects as he raised his arms up over his head then made his way down. "Kaplash" He said as he made the impression of when he landed on Peter. From the way Alex had described it being so young and all Peter might not believe him but Alex really couldn't explain it any other way.

Thumbs up and laughter brought a smile to Peters face. Alex thanked him for the catch and Peter said that it was alright. Alex grew happy. He seemed like a nice man, Alex thought to himself. Alex didn't know of the president and he didn't connect the names of the brothers as Peter introduced himself. Alex simply gave Peter a bright smile. He took Peters hand and shook it. "Alex Banks." He followed the gesture to introduce himself aswel. When Alex touched Peter his powers he got from Lydia acted on a whim. Alex felt Peters hopes and desires in an instance. He could tell Peter had an ability and his kind personality. Alex was shocked. "Your like me?" He asked Peter without explaining why.

Peter told Alex he was on a mission to track this guy down and then turned and began to walk away. Alex nodded his head. He turned the other way around and teliported to his clothes. Getting dressed quickly before teliporting behind Peter and following him silently. Alex used his powers sometimes without even noticing anymore. It was just apart of his normal second nature to him. He loved using them so much so he uses them as often as he pleases. "If this guy is playing hide and seek I can find him for ya if you have a picture of him." Alex finally spoke up from behind. He had obtained an ability from his friend Matt that lets him find anyone anywhere. Alex wanted to join Peter and help him out. Peter seemed like a nice guy and someone who Alex could follow. Something about him made Alex want to get to know him.

[peterp]

Peter had to chuckle some more when Alex laughed at him calling him kiddo, it was just a term of endearment Peter often used with young children, and he used it on his two nephews Simon and Monty all the time. Alex had then held his hand out to help Peter up, needless to say Peter got up but using his strength mostly. Once he was upright, he ruffled Alex’s hair, something else he did with Simon and Monty when he had the time to visit them.

Peter had asked Alex about the length he had jumped and he had to chuckle at the boy going wide eyed obviously trying to think of something to tell Peter. Alex then began to tell Peter what had happened and all he could do was watch with a raised eyebrow and chuckle every now and then while running his hand through his hair. “So, you became like a super speed swimmer?” Peter asked as he chuckled some more. Sounded to Peter like this kid might have some sort of ability but he was lost as to what it could be.

Peter had then introduced himself and Alex took his hand and gave his name also. “Well, it’s good to meet you Alex, or should I call you Tad? Tad would be short for tadpole.” Peter explained chuckling again at his own nickname for the kid who had flew out at him at breakneck speed from swimming in the water. Soon after they had shook hands however Alex commented that Peter was like him. This made Peter raise his eyebrow, he got that from just shaking Peter’s hand, assuming that when he said he was like him that Alex was a special right enough.

Peter then said in a hushed voice, “If you mean I’m an Evolved Human, then yes, which means you must be one too. So what power do you have that made you fly out of the water like that?” Peter asked curiously, not that Peter wanted to swim at breakneck speeds or anything, he was just simply curious as to what power the kid held. But then Peter told Alex that he was on a mission and he had to get going and he would catch up with Alex later. He had no idea that Alex was following him. Peter didn’t want to be ignorant or anything, he just cared about people, and this was a young kid, there was no need for a young kid to be involved in something which could be dangerous.

When Alex spoke Peter turned round shaking his head a little with a slight frown but a smile on his face. “I was trying to keep you out of it, I don’t want to be held responsible for a young kid getting hurt.” Peter replied in a soft voice hoping Alex would understand what he was saying, however something Alex said made Peter stop and think for a second. If Alex could find this person it might make things a little easier. “I do have a picture of him as it happens.” Peter said as he went into his pocket and pulled out the photograph of Scott Majors and handed it to Alex. “Anything you can tell me will be appreciated, been trying to get a hold of him all day today.”

[rocky2]

After Alex had thought he strongly picked Peter up from the ground Peter called him kiddo which made Alex laugh because that was just so funny he thought. The Peter ruffled Alex's hair. Something that Alex was never used to. Alex smiled and chuckled at the mans actions. "Your funny Mr." Alex said in between his laughter. He wasn't used to this kind of older brother action.

Alex began to explain to Peter his whole story of jumping out from the water. He could tell that Peter was a bit shocked at it all. The boy then was asked if he was a super speed swimmer. "Yeah like Aqua man!" He blurted out having watched the justice league cartoon from a window in someone else home. Little did they know Alex was catching a free show. Peter said it was nice to meet him and then gave him the nick name Tad as in tadpole. Alex bursts out laughing as he feel to the ground holding his stomach. When he got back up still laughing a little he gave Peter a smile. "I all ready have a code name. Were I come from they call me Eros." The boy confessed as he thought Peter was giving him a new name like they did in the future but he thought being code named after a tadpole was the funniest thing.

Peter told Alex that he was an evolved human and asked him what ability made him fly out of the water like he did. Alex shrugged his shoulders but then quickly got the answer from his memories. "Oh, one time I met this guy who sliced off peoples heads and stole there powers. But I saved this swim teacher who must have had that power to swim like aqua-man. Yeah so it must have been from him that I copied his powers from. Sometimes I copy powers from people I stand next to but I don't know what it is I copied yet until I use them without knowing I had them." Alex explained but this answer would most likely not be what Peter had expected.

Following Peter Alex spoke to him and Peter turned around saying that he didn't want to be responsible for Alex getting hurt, Alex giggled "Don't worry Peter I cant get hurt." Alex created a thin small metal knife and cut his forearm with it. "Look." It was healing even before Alex could show him and the blood was still there. However Alex whipped it on his pants leg dirtying his clothes. "See you don't have to worry about me. I can heal from anything. But Someone told me that I will die if I get hit in the head." Alex misunderstood what Sylar had told him about the off switch in there brains. After Alex told Peter he could find the guy he was looking for. Peter said that it would be a big help. Alex took the picture from Peter and used that ability he spoke of. Closing his eyes he trailed until he found the man close by. "Found him." Alex stated as he without touching Peter teliported them both to this villain Peter was tracking down. "Don't hurt him." Alex told peter as he started to walk up to the villain.

[viruzfitia]

"Don't hurt him."

Sylar could here this voice from a mile away with relative ease but it just so happened he had been tracking the same target. Sylar had been searching for another special in the area who had an ability he so desired: powerful and dangerous. As Sylar stood on top of the ledge of a roof directly above Alex as he walked near his prey he knew he wouldn't be able to kill this target now, at least not without claiming it was necessary. He noticed another figure down below, one who had yet to speak yet looked vaguely familiar, as if he hadn't seen him in a long time. Could it really be?

"Peter..." Sylar exclaimed to himself as he smirked. He knew if he could prove that he has changed to Peter then that would only be that much easier to fool Alex into letting him close enough to get what he wants; Sylar had been looking to get Alex's abilities for weeks now, but without any luck as the kid was too cautious. As Sylar raised his hands up slightly from his sides he began to levitate and slowly float, progressively gaining speed before landing directly behind Peter Petrelli. He smirked slightly as he tapped on his shoulder, "Hello Pete. Long time no see. Looks like you've met Alex, my little rehabilitation counselor." He smirked slightly towards Pete, who would surely be facing him now.

[peterp]

When Peter had called Alex kiddo the young boy had began to laugh and then Peter ruffled his hair, just like he would have done to a younger brother or a son for that matter, this seemed to go down well also as Alex smiled at him and said he was funny. “Oh, you think I’m funny do you?” Peter asked and chuckled, “Well, I guess that’s a good sign.” He continued before giving Alex his trademark sideways smile and slight wink. Then Alex had told Peter how he had managed to jump so far and replied to Peter’s comment about him becoming like a super speed swimmer saying yeah, just like Aqua Man. Peter chuckled again, but gave Alex a nickname of his own by calling him Tad, which was short for tadpole. “Aqua Man’s good, but I think I prefer Tad myself.” Peter then watched in fascination as Alex fell to the ground holding his stomach and laughing, a lot. So the kid found it funny.

Soon enough Alex stood up again and told Peter that he already had a code name and then told him that he was called Eros where he came from. Peter questioned this, “Eros, as in the god of love?” Peter asked and then continued, “Cute, but I still prefer Tad.” He chuckled again, that would be the name he would call Alex, well, it would either be Alex or Tad, most likely Tad and maybe kiddo thrown in there now and then too, because it looked to Peter like this was one young friend he wasn’t going to be able to shake, but it didn’t bother him. Peter had then told Alex he was an Evolved Human and asked what ability Alex had which made him fly out of the water like he had. Alex shrugged his shoulders and then suddenly like he just remembered he began to tell Peter a story about gaining this ability.

“So, you can mimic powers like me then, except I lost my original power which allowed me to gain powers empathically, now I have to tune into my power and collect powers by touch if I want to get the power.” Peter explained and then his mind went back to the other part of what Alex had said about the whole slicing heads thing. “Wait, you’ve met Sylar?” Peter asked, it had been a while since Peter had bumped into the infamous killer Gabriel Gray also known as Sylar. Peter shook his head, “You should stay away from him, nothing good will come of it, he’s evil.” Peter said in a dark voice, he had taken Claire’s power from her and even though she was able to heal from it, it still angered Peter that Sylar had the nerve to do it in the first place.

Peter had then told Alex he didn’t want to get him involved as he didn’t want him to get hurt, Alex said he couldn’t get hurt. He then proceeded to create a knife and cut into his arm and Peter watched it heal over seconds later. Peter nodded his head, “So, you can make metal things and heal, how many powers to you hold?” Peter asked a little curiously, because Peter had lost his original ability, he wasn’t as powerful as he used to be, although he still held a few now and one of them being regeneration. “I can heal as well, so I guess we’re good.” Alex then continued to talk about saying someone told him he could die if he got hit in the head. Peter shook his head a little, “It’s true, but not quite how you believe it. There is a certain area at the back of the neck if say someone stuck a knife into it, you would die, but the soon as the object is pulled out, you regenerate again.” Peter explained, hoping he had made it a little clearer for Alex to understand.

Peter had then given Alex a photograph of Scott Majors and soon enough Alex said he had found him and teleported both of them to where Scott was. Alex told Peter not to hurt him, “I don’t intend to hurt him, but I have to bring him to my mom which may result in having to stun him at least.” Peter tried to explain and then he heard the voice, the one he knew so well but always hoped he didn’t have to hear too often. He snapped his head around, “Gabriel Gray!” Peter exclaimed and looked him up and down and then held both his arms out in a bid to stop Sylar from getting to Alex. “Why does something tell me that’s not quite the truth Sylar? I can sense it, you’re just going to use that boy to get close and then take his powers away and then try to kill him. Well you’ll have to go through me then.” Peter wasn’t sure if Sylar was telling the truth of not, but Peter didn’t care, a man like Sylar wasn’t capable of changing.

[rocky2]

The man asked Alex if he had thought he was funny in a playful tone of voice. Alex nodded his head up and down flashing him a bright smile. Who would have thought that these two would meet up and get along so darn well. Then there was a small conversation about how Alex made the jump and Peter calling him Tad. It seemed that was Alex's new nickname for a while at least. Alex preferred Eros as it fit him more so because Alex had only recently been a able to do all that in the water. But he really didn't care what Peter was going to call him. After Alex told Peter he was called Eros Peter questioned this asking if it was the god of love. Alex again nodded his head yes. "Yeah, it's a nickname I had since I was a baby," Alex confessed. "I think the world can be a better place with just a little love in everyone's harts. It's my mission to unite the world by filling everyone's hart with love and washing away there pain and hatred." Alex continued telling Peter his personal goal.

Ok the goal might seem a little far fetched but to Alex he believed that love can do miracles and that with his love he could prevent his future to become the way it was. Peter explained that he and Alex had the same type of ability however Peter had to tap into his and then proceed to touch the person he wanted to mimic. Alex raised an eye brow to this, "Did the elders limit your powers to?" Alex asked him. "Before I had to connect with someone's hart before absorbing there ability. But now it happens when I stand near anyone with a power." Alex told Peter while he thought of the events him and Matt shared. It was in that sparing match that things went out of hand and the child flew back-wards with no memory, Matt repaired his mind and thus the limit the elders put on Alex's powers were broken. The mental block erased. Peter warned Alex not to go near Sylar. Saying he was evil and that nothing good will come of it. Alex shook his head no at this point. "I don't think it's fare, He is alone and haunted by his past. People can change but he cant do it alone. I talked with Sylar and he agreed to stop his killing." Alex had to tell Peter the reason why Sylar agreed to it. "We made a deal." The young boy had a stern look on his face,

"Sylar would stop killing if he could get abilities by some other way. I told him he could copy my powers if he truly had become good. But I cant sense what he's thinking and he learned how to block his emotions from me. I don't know if I can trust him if I cant reach his hart or hear his thoughts." Alex admitted to Peter. He wouldn't do anything unless there was no doubt Sylar had changed. Alex didn't want to be responsible to make an indestructible villain have the powers he possessed. Peter asked Alex how many powers he had. Alex shrugged his shoulders and he looked like he was in deep thought about it. "Ahhhhh...... eleven." He answered. Alex didn't know it at the time but he had absorbed Peters abilities from standing near him aswel. Peter then cleared up the whole thing with the off switch in the back of the head for those who can regenerate. Alex nodded his head again as to show him he understood. "Oh that must have been what he meant then." Alex told him. Soon after Alex had found the villain he teliported them to the guy. Peter told Alex that he wouldn't hurt the villain but he would have to stun him to bring him to his mother. Alex smiled. "Leave it to me." He said walking up to the evil man and staring him down.

Meanwhile Sylar made his way to Peter unnoticed by Alex as he was silent except when he spoke in Peters ears. Alex was to preoccupied with the villain now looking at the little kid before him. "Get out of here now pip squeak or I'll burn you alive. Or How about I drown you so I wont have to hear your annoying little screams?" Scott tried to frighten the young boy. "You don't want to hurt me, you want to fall asleep." Alex commanded using his Telepathy, He then aided this suggestion with the feeling of sleeplessness using his pathokinises. Soon after the man grew tired and stumbled to the ground still awake but he was falling asleep fast. Alex turned to Peter to show off that he made the evil guy go to sleep and as he pointed behind with a bright smile he noticed that Sylar was behind Peter Alex grew wide eyed as he thought maybe Sylar had returned to cut Peters head off and gain his powers. Alex couldn't move as Scott was snapping out of his sleepy state as a side effect of Alex loosing focus on restraining him with his powers. "Burn little kid." Scott hissed as he set Alex's leg on fire.

Peter smiled down at Alex as he nodded his head and grinned in reply to Peter asking if he thought he was funny. There was something rather enchanting about this child thought Peter. After Peter had given Alex the nickname Tad because of what he could do in the water, Alex had then explained abou this previous nickname being Eros. Peter naturally questioned this asking the boy if his name was in connection to the god of love. Alex nodded his head and spoke saying that yes that was his nickname and had been from a baby. Before Peter had a chance to say anything Alex continued to talk about the world being a better place if everyone had a little love in their hearts. Peter nodded his head slowly, “I believe that too Alex, however there are a lot of people out there with only hatred in their hearts and they will never change. That’s why people like you and I have to look after those who can’t look after themselves properly.” Peter was of course speaking about the non special humans, those who were always more vulnerable to the evil of the world.

When Peter began to speak more about his ability and how he had to tap into it before touching someone to gain their power Alex asked if the elders had limited his powers too. Peter raised his eyebrow at this, “I am not sure what you are speaking about Alex, but no, my original power was taken away from me by my father. He took them all away leaving me vulnerable. If it weren’t for the fact I helped a man save his girlfriend, I would still be powerless just now.” Peter tried to explain hoping Alex would understand what he had just told him. Although he was now curious as to what Alex was talking about when he mentioned people called the elders. When the conversation turned to Sylar and Peter told Alex to stay away from him saying he would never change the young boy shook his head and said he didn’t think it was fair and continued to say that Sylar had apparently agreed to stop his killing but he couldn’t do it alone. Peter sighed gently. “I have heard that from Sylar many times before Alex, trust me when I say he cannot be trusted, everything he says is always a lie.” Peter tried to explain, but if Alex was adamant about Sylar changing Peter had this feeling nothing he said would change Alex’s opinion of Sylar and the young boy would sadly have to find out by his self.

Alex spoke some more about Sylar saying he would stop killing if he could take powers another way. Peter shook his head at this, “Sylar has known for some time he can take powers without killing Alex, but he kills anyway. You have to believe me when I say he isn’t good.” In all the time Peter had known Sylar he had never known him to change and Peter didn’t think he ever would, although Peter being the softie at heart that he is, would probably be the first person to give Sylar a second chance but it would be on his terms, nobody else’s. Peter had then asked Alex how many powers he held and he answered saying eleven. “That’s quite a lot for a young guy.” Peter answered and gave him his sideways smile with a slight wink. Peter then explained about the ‘off switch’ for specials that could regenerate and he just smiled down at Alex as he understood what Peter had told him. Then Alex had them teleported to the guy Peter was to bring in for his mother. When Alex told Peter not to hurt him he replied saying he would have to stun him to bring him in and Alex told Peter to leave it to him.

Peter wasn’t sure about this however, “Be careful.” He said as he watched Alex approach Scott Majors. It was at this point Sylar, speaking of the devil had turned up out of nowhere and began to, well for want of a better expression, taunt Peter. He tried to give back as good as he was getting but he was distracted with the villain speaking to Alex and instead of fighting off his arch nemesis he made his way to help his little friend instead. Peter stood with his hands poised and ready to conjure and throw a fireball when he saw that Alex had managed to make Scott fall asleep. “Well done Tad.” Peter said, but it was over with all too quickly as Alex spotted Sylar which made him lose concentration and the next thing Scott was on the move again and began to set Alex’s leg alight. Peter got into position once more and began to conjure a fireball and threw it at Scott. “Let’s see how you do with this, I wonder if you have the power to heal like me and my young apprentice here?” Peter said in a slightly dark voice as he threw the ball aiming it at Scott’s leg and hoping he would hit.

{ooc - sorry this took so long, but we were waiting on Viruz as you know and then after he posted, decided he wanted to get rid of Sylar, so anyway, posted now. lol Oh and I thought I would let you do the retaliation for the npc guy if you wanted, seeing how it's back to just you and I}
