I do however own Amy and any other characters that you have not ever heard about. AUTHOR'S NOTE: I came up with an early draft of this story shortly after season 1 ended. In all rights I loved how the second season went and this is not in any attempt to say my version is better. It's just how it came out when I was writing it. Thank you. CHAPTER ONE The night was pitch black as it feel apon a small apartment bedroom. Everything seemed normal about the room except for the picture frames that seemed to be everywhere. Some showing a small girl with unruly brown curls and soft hazel eyes laughing while eating an ice cream cone. Others showing the same girl at parties and with her friends and mother. Others showed her getting older filled with prom pictures, graduation awards, and stages of life that showed the same person but only much more mature. Sleeping under a heavy quilt Amy Ferris was snoring lightly her long curly hair even more unruly now that she was asleep. Her alarm clock showed that it was a little after midnight as a loud bang awoke her from her sleep. Getting up Amy looked around her bedroom for any sign of the noise, sitting up in her bed she turned on the light only to see nothing as another loud thump occured making her gasp loudly her voice echoing from the walls of her room. Gently Amy got out of her bed and slowly walked over to her closet opening it and grabbing her baseball bat a gift from an ex boyfriend who thought she might need some protection. Trying to get her curls out of her face Amy walked out of the bedroom wondering how a burgalar was going to be intimidated by a five foot seven woman with unruly brown hair a blue spegetti strap nightgown and worse of all she was ten pounds overweight. At least that was always her thought while others just scoffed saying that she looked fine. Walking on the balls of her feet Amy walked through her small living room and into the adjorning kitchen still looking for anyone that was banging on her walls or her windows. After looking around and seeing nothing Amy just sighed feeling stupid for getting so scared over nothing. And practically jumping out of her skin as she heard a loud groan from behind her door. "Great." said Amy as she tightened her grip on the bat and walked over to her front door. Each step she took she gave a small tremor of fear go through her as she made her way over to the door. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves she opened the door and screamed as a body fell onto her floor. The second thing Amy did was cover her mouth and nose from the putrid smell that was coming off of the man. Kneeling down all the while still holding her bat she looked at the man who was now on her floor. He had sewage all over his face and his hair was matted down sticking in every way possible. Amy however froze as she noticed the pool of blood that was forming on her kitchen floor and as her sleepy brain began to kick in."Oh my God. Gabriel." shouted Amy as she dropped the bat and raced over to her phone and dialed 911. "Hello operater this is Amy Ferris. I live on third avenue building 182 and I'm in room 312. A man just feel down he's covered in sewage and he's bleeding badly you have to hurry." shouted Amy as she looked over to Gabriel all the while her mind racing on what could have happened to him. Three hours. Three hours and Amy was practically ready to tackle a nurse and demand that they tell her what was going on with her friend. Sitting Amy pulled the hair tie out of her hair and tried to straighten her hair giving her something to do before giving up and pulling her hair into another messy ponytail. After Gabriel had been taken away she had changed into an old college jersey and a pair of jeans and shoes before getting into her car and breaking every speed law possible. All the while her mind was trying to place the Gabriel she had seen to the one she had known in high school. The fact that he had facial hair and no glasses was one reason she told herself as to why she did not recognize him sooner. That and she had spent most of the night overlooking her files. Amy's mind was however brought back into reality as a doctor came into the room. "Hello are you the one who called about your friend?" asked the doctor. "Yes I'm Amy Farris." said Amy getting up from her chair. "I'm Dr. Bailey. Ms. Farris..." started Dr. Bailey. "Oh it's Dr. Farris. I'm a child psychologist." said Amy. "My applogies Dr. Farris. Now your friend had a very weird stab wound almost like he was run through with a sword. The fact that he lost so much blood and was still able to walk over to where you were was amazing." said Dr. Bailey. "Is Gabriel going to be okay?" asked Amy scared that she may have been to late to save Gabriel. "No he's in recovery right now. He has a very strong will that one." said Dr. Bailey. "Can I see him?" asked Amy. "Well usually visiting hours are over by this time but given tonights circumstances I would think that would be all right. He's on the fifth floor room seven." said Dr. Bailey. "Thank you." said Amy as she walked out of the waiting room and towards the elevator. "Some night this has been." said Dr. Bailey as he sat down. In this night alone they had to handle two people with gunshot wounds. He still felt horrible for the woman who he had to tell had lost her husband and the smile that the little girl had when he told her that her hero was going to be safe. And now a man who seemed to have been stabbed by a sword and brought in by a psychiatrist. Tonight was indeed going to be a night to remember for Dr. Bailey. Amy walked casually into the room and placed a hand over her mouth as she saw Gabriel laying on the bed. He was hooked to tubes and wires that seemed to be all over his body. Walking closer Amy noticed a bandage over his entire stomach that had some traces of blood on it. Swallowing her fear Amy pulled a chair closer to Gabriel and took his hand. "Gabriel I'm here. It's me Amy." said Amy soothingly while her thumb was rubbing circles on his hand. She however froze when she felt Gabriel tighten his grip. "Gabriel your okay." said Amy with a smile and tears forming that she had been holding since this strange night had begun. "Where am I?" asked Gabriel weakly. "Your in the hospital. You lost a lot of blood." said Amy as Gabriel looked over at her and smiled weaked. "Amy long time no see." said Gabriel before he started to cough really badly. "Oh God. Don't worry I'll get you something to drink. And you probably shouldn't be talking right now. It's amazing that your even awake." said Amy as she got up grabbing a plastic cup and going to the table to fill it with water. Amy however did not notice how Gabriel's eyes suddenly became predatory as he looked at her cocking his head to his side studying her closely. He could feel it in every part of his body no ever cell of his being. Dear sweet Amy had an ability and he felt a powerful need to take it for himself. Getting up Sylar hissed in pain from his stab wound causing him to fall back to the bed as he gasped to take in air. Amy had a power and he was not yet strong enough to take it. However he knew how this game would play. He played it with Chandra and with Mohinder and countless others. All he needed to do was wait for his wounds to heal and to discover what Amy's power was and then, then the fun would really begin. Okay that was chapter one I hope that everyone enjoyed it. Please feel free to review and tell me what you think. I will try to update as much as I can. Last Edited By: NortekHero 06/30/08 9:11 PM. Edited 1 time.

Chapter 2 LAS VEGAS The sun was shinning bright in the sky illuminating everything making it a serene day for people to picnicking or to just lounge around and relax. Niki Sanders felt like it should have been raining. Not just a small drizzle but a downpour that not even an umbrella could protect you. She was still numb and in complete shock as she saw D.L. being lowered into the earth. Closing her eyes Niki thought back to when they first met how she had believed that someone had blessed her with this man that she was to good for. And in the end it seemed that she was the reason for his death. A small voice inside her head was telling her that she was not at fault for D.L.'s death that it was Linderman who had pulled the trigger. But Niki knew that it was because of Jessica's actions that she was not looking at her husbands tombstone. "Mom." came Micah's voice breaking Niki out of her daze. "Micah." said Niki looking down to see her son. "Monica wanted to know if you were ready to go yet?" asked Micah. Niki looked up past Micah to see her niece just standing there giving her a sad smile. It had been three days since D.L.'s death and Monica like an angel had come in and helped Niki plan everything. Monica had even invited Niki and Micah to move in with them in New Orleans for a while so that Niki could get out of the fog that she seemed to be in at the moment. "Yeah Micah I'll be there in a few minutes. I just need to finish saying goodbye to you father." said Niki trying to keep the tears in her eyes from falling. "Okay." said Micah before he to looked at his father's grave before leaving. Niki turned around looking at the ground kneeling to touch D.L.'s name. "Oh please Niki tell me that your not going to be sulking for the rest of your life." came a voice that was all to familiar and looking up Niki saw Jessica giving her a look of sheer boredom. "I don't expect you to understand. You always hated D.L." said Niki. "Yeah because I knew he wasn't good for us." said Jessica. "He was good to us. He died saving Micah." said Niki. "Yeah but wouldn't it have been nice if you were able to save him." said Jessica sarcastically. "What is that suppose to mean." shouted Niki getting up staring at her other half. "Face it Niki. Your still not strong enough. Thats why I'm still here. Because in the end you still need me." said Jessica. "No I don't need you Jessica. You have done nothing but destroy my life. Ruin everything in your way. But I swear you will not do it again. Do you hear me." shouted Niki only to have it come to no one as Jessica was gone. Niki sighed letting more tears fall down her face as she kneeled down again and looked at the grave. "D.L. I love you." said Niki as she got up and walked away. Away from her past, away from Las Vegas and hopefully away from Jessica. NEW YORK CITY Heidi Petrelli opened the door to her home worried. Something was wrong and she could feel it in her very soul. Nathan had never shown up at Washington and everytime she tried to call Angela all she would get was the woman's voice mail. Heidi was not one for worrying but recently with Nathan's attitude and her sudden miraculous ability to get out of her wheelchair she was starting to have one to many questions go through her mind. And she was never the type to like questions lingering when they could be answered. Especially by her husband. Heidi froze when she noticed a suit jacket laying on the floor as if it had been cermoniously thrown at the ground without another thought. Reaching down Heidi gasped at the burns that were all along the sleeves of the jacket and a large burn along the back of it. Droping the jacket Heidi started up the stairs slowly as if not to make much of a noise. Reaching the top floor Heidi slowly approached her and Nathan's bedroom noticing that it was slightly open. Taking a deep breath Heidi opened it and froze at the sight that lay before her. Nathan his cloths filthy with burns and soot was just sitting on the bed, bottles of their most expensive wine and bourbon were at the foot of the bed. But the way that Nathan was slumped over not even breathing to Heidi's eyes was the most heart breaking. "Nathan." said Heidi gently. "Peter." shouted Nathan getting up and Heidi felt her heart freeze seeing the frozen gaze that was now in his eyes. "Heidi." said Nathan as freash tears started to fall from his face and when he started to look as if he was about to collapse Heidi quickly rushed over grabbing Nathan and with a grunt of her own to mix with Nathan's tears she sat him back on the bed. "Nathan what happened?" asked Heidi. "I failed him. I failed Peter." said Nathan his voice hollow. "Peter, Nathan what's wrong with Peter?" asked Heidi terrified as she held her husband's face. "He's dead. I saw him explode." said Nathan. "And I couldn't stop it.". Nathan then took Heidi and grabbed her in a tight embrace as he broke down on her shoulder. Heidi was just frozen as tears of her own started to fall down her own face. Peter dead, it was almost to unbelieveable to imagine. Heidi knew now that something was going on and for once she was not going to take any of Nathan's political aversion tactics. Sylar was furious as he looked at the cup in front of him. For the past half hour he had been staring at it only to have it move only a few inches. He couldn't even raise it in the air. Groaning Sylar threw his head back into his pillow. All of his abilities had been weak for some reason. He could only think of the pain killers and the large stab wound had to play some sort of role in his weakened misery. Oh how he was going to make that japanesse man taste his own sword over and over and over before taking that little ability of his and be able to go anywhere he wanted without walking. Then he was going to pay a little visit to the blond woman who rammed him with the parking meter and have her scream until she was hoarse before taking her strength and then he would find Peter Petrelli and finish what he had been stopped both times at being done. It was this thought that made him remember to pay Mohinder a little visit and give him the same courtousy as he gave Chandra. And then finally he would find sweet innocent Claire and when he did he was finally going to have the one thing he had been desiring since he first encountered the cheerleader, her sweet power to heal from anything. Althought first there is the matter of Amy and whatever her power is. And as if thinking about it made it real the door opened and Amy walked in with a smile. "Hey Gabriel." said Amy. "Hey Amy. Have you come to rescue me from this place?" asked Sylar pretending to be Gabriel. "Not today. But I did however bring you something to eat. I figured you needed something better than the slop they have been feeding you." said Amy as she pulled out a McDonald's bag from her purse and handed it over to Sylar. "A double quarter pounder with cheese." said Sylar with a smile. "Yep no onions and extra cheese." said Amy. "You remember how I like my burgers?" said Sylar a little touched by her kindness. "Are you kidding you and me used to pig out there all the time. Some of my happiest memories were spent in a McDonalds." said Amy. "Yeah that's true." said Sylar as he bit into the burger. A part of him started to feel bad about the deception. After all Amy was his only friend in high school. The only person who said that he was fine just the way he was. But then again he was not longer Gabriel Grey a weak watchmaker. He was now Sylar and he craved to be an evolutionary perfection. Even if it meant the he had to kill Amy. And at the moment he did have a plan to follow. "So is it still alright if I stay over at your place?" asked Sylar pretending to act very meak and shy. "Gabriel think nothing of it. From what you've told me this year has been bad. I mean you mom was killed, your lost your shop and your home. And then you get mugged and nearly killed by some psycho. I think if anything you deserve a little help." said Amy with a smile. Sylar again felt a twinge of guilt go through him. This was definatly going to be harder than he wanted it to be. But in his weakened state he really couldn't kill her. Plus the fact that her power was something he needed and wanted. And the fact that there were going to be people looking for him and staying hidden was actually a smart move. But he also knew that the longer he stayed with Amy the harder it was going to be to kill her. Sylar just smirked at the thought. He was never really one to back down from a challenge. "Why are you smiling?" asked Amy. "Because it's going to be great. You were one of my best friends. I really can not wait to know what's been going on in your life." said Sylar. "Whatever. Your still just as goofy and corny as ever." said Amy laughing. Sylar however just smiled along knowing that soon she to was going to be his next leap into perfection. Okay that was chapter two. Now to answer any questions that might be lingering. Yes Maya, Alejandro, West and Elle will be in this story. No I do not plan on having anymore original Heroes join this story. And yes I am going to have Matt, Mohinder, Molly, Claire, Noah and Hiro apart of this tale. There just going to appear in another chapter. And yes I am going to reveal Amy's power soon and if you want a clue here it is. It was a power that was featured on the show 4400. Hope you enjoy Chapter Two and leave me a comment telling me how you liked it. Last Edited By: NortekHero 06/30/08 9:13 PM. Edited 1 times.

This story will have things that seem impossible. Like people getting out of the hospital way to soon. Or people traveling great distances in a realitivley short time. These little streatches are to help the story along so don't tell me it's impossible for someone to go to Las Vegas to New Orleans in the course of a day I already know that's not possible. Thank you and enjoy. CHAPTER THREE It was around six in the morning but Heidi still felt wide awake even though she had not slept at all that night. After a few hours Nathan had calmed down enough for him to tell her what was going on. She was shocked and at first in disbelife until Nathan had taken her outside and flown her over the property. Now thought as she was trying to fix her hair from her impromtu flight she was seething. But Nathan was not the target for her anger even thought he did deserve it for not telling her about any of this or the fact that he had found out he had a daughter, no that privilage belonged to none other than Angela Petrelli. Slamming her hair brush down on the vanity table and looked at Nathan. "I can not believe Angela would stoop so low." said Heidi getting up. "I know Heidi." said Nathan. "No not really. She mainpulated you and Peter for what! Your political future. I thought it was crazy of you to even try and become a senator in the first place. But no that 'mother' of yours tried to turn you into a monster. And at what price. Your daughter Claire, your brother Peter she wanted to destroy there lives so you could be what she wanted." shouted Heidi. "I swear if I ever see her again I'm going to rip her head off.". Nathan gave a small smile to his wife. He could not beleive how well she was taking this. "So how is Claire?" asked Heidi. This made Nathan freeze and look at Heidi in shock. "I don't really know. I haven't spoken to her since I flew Peter away from Kirby Plaza." said Nathan. "What Nathan this your daughter. You've been crying your eyes out for three days and she probably thinks your dead." said Heidi running a hand through her hair. Nathan just nodded lowereing his head and rubbing his eyes. "Do you have her cell number?" asked Heidi. "Yeah I do." said Nathan getting up before grabbing onto the bed post feeling weak. Heidi looked at this and sighed. "You can call Claire tomorrow. Right now you need your rest." said Heidi as she helped Nathan lay down. "And when you wake up I'm going to get you something to eat. Lord knows you probably forgot to eat as well.". Nathan then took his wife's hand. "Heidi. I'm so sorry about this." said Nathan. "It's okay Nathan. I'm just glad to be in the loop now." said Heidi. "Get some rest.". Nathan nodded before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep. NEAR THE MEXICAN BOARDER Driving down the road a dark tan car was breaking all speed records as it neared the boarder. Alejandro looked back to his twin sister Maya as she slept peacefully in the backseat of the car. Looking back to the road he wondered what had happened to lead them to this point at this time. How he had come to protect Maya from all of this pain and suffering that she was putting herself through. He truly did not believe she was cursed how could she be. Maya had always been quiet and soft spoken but at the same time she was always their to help Alejandro when he needed it. He knew that Maya was dreaming about how this all began at his wedding. How he had been so happy to be married to his wife. But only later with Maya discover that she was cheating on him with her ex-lover. Maya angered ran at the bride only to have the ex lover grab her and start chocking her. The next thing that had happened her eyes went black and black tears began to ooze from her eyes. And everyone died right in front of them. His wife her lover and the whole area killed by whatever power Maya had developed. Alejandro seemed to be the only one that survived and when he ran to his sister and held her he remembered feeling something enter inside of him. As if he was pulling whatever was making his sister do this from her body into his. When it was finished he had collapsed gasping for air. That was when the two of them started to run and that was when Maya found the book by Chandra Suresh. She was now convinced that she and Alejandro had to head to New York that it was the only way to stop what was happening to her. Alejandro merely sighed as Maya slept peacefully. Turning back to the road he quickly slammed on the breaks as a truck barrled in front of there car. Maya screamed as she was thrown from the back seat and scrambled to get up. "Alejandro what is going on?" asked Maya as she got up. "I don't know. Stay here." said Alejandro as he got out of the car the people in the truck doing the same thing. It was only then did Alejandro see the shot guns that the men were holding. And when they started to speak Alejandro knew they were American's since he did not know any English. "Look I do not any English. But my sister is very sick. We need to go to America and get her help." said Alejandro. One of the men walked in front of him and the next thing Alejandro knew the end of the rifle slammed into the side of his head and fell to the ground hard. "Alejandro." shouted Maya as she got out of the car only to be grabbed by one of the men and slammed into the car. "Lookie here boys. We got ourselves a pretty one." the guy then laughed as his friends joined in. "Please let me go I do not wish to hurt you." pleaded Maya. "Oh she thinks she can hurt us." said another of the men as he grabbed Maya by her hair and she screamed. Maya could feel it inside her again. Moving through her clawing at her to come out. "No." shouted Maya as she tried desperatley to stop the death from escaping from her. She did not want anyone else to suffer. But Maya's struggles seemed pointless as her eyes began to blacken and the tears began to fall once more. She started to scream as she saw the men starting to fall their eyes blackening and the black tears coming from their eyes. Maya forced herself to get up looking in the mirror she saw her black eyes and howled in sadness before running to Alejandro. "Alejandro." shouted Maya as she shock her brother. "Alejandro!" she bellowed her voice filled with agony. Alejandro shock his head awake as he looked around and saw Maya's face. "Maya." shouted Aljeandro as he quickly took his sister's hands and concentraited. Gasping he started to feel the black death that Maya carried come inside of him where it seemed to die. Alejandro looked to see his sister's eyes clear and her black tears run clear. "We have to go." said Alejandro his voice strained as he helped Maya up. Maya nodded and the two raced back to the car and drove off leaving the men dead on the ground. NEW YORK CITY "Are you sure we should be doing this Mohinder?" asked Matt looking at Mohinder. "Yes. Every night since Kirby Plaza Molly has been screaming from horrible nightmares." said Mohinder. "But still do we have to send her to a shrink?" asked Matt. "Matt I'm a professor of genetics and you are getting ready to rejoin the police force here in New York City. We will both be incrediably busy in the weeks to come and this person is not only highly recommended to help children and teenagers who have faced tramtic events but also she owns a center so the children could have somewhere to go. Molly's nightmares may be caused on by the trauma she experienced because of Sylar. I just want her to feel safe again." said Mohinder. "So do I. But still I'm a big fan of shrinks." said Matt. Mohinder sighed, he was well aware of what was happening with Matt and his divorce from Jancie and that they had tried therapy to help their issues. Mohinder was about to say something when the door opened and a woman dressed in a dark green sweater, blue jeans and tennis shoes, her light brown curly hair was tied in a pony tail as she smiled at them. "Dr. Suresh?" asked the woman. "Yes." said Mohinder as he walked over and shock the woman's hand. "Hello I'm Dr. Amy Farris." said Amy. "Matt Parkman." said Matt defensively. "Pleasure to meet you." said Amy. He seems defensive probably had trouble with psychiatrists in the past. Matt just grinned at that thought and walked with Mohinder into his office. "We don't mean to take up to much of your time." said Mohinder. "Oh no problem. Now I've reviewed Molly's file." said Amy as she sat behind her desk and picked up Molly's file. "Now Molly has gone through two trauma's. The first being that her family was murdered this she's lost her home and feels like she has lost her safe haven. And then she recently pulled through from a virus that could have killed her meaning that she has pretty much lost her innocene. Am I correct?" asked Amy. "I don't understand what you mean?" asked Matt. "Does she act more mature?" asked Amy. "Yes." said Mohinder. "This is a usual sign. Children who go through violent events do tend to mature faster. Now look I'm not making any promises. My procedures are very unique but I can not clearly say that Molly will make a full recovery. What I am saying is that I may be able to get her used to her new reality. Now I take it both of you are her guardians?" asked Amy. "Yes." said Mohinder. "Okay so how long have you two been a couple?" asked Amy. Matt froze his face turning white while Mohinder started to sputter. "Were not a couple." said Matt. "I'm right now going through a divorce.". "Matt is the police officer who saved Molly and I was the doctor who treated her. We both care for Molly very much and we decided to help her but working together." said Mohinder. "Oh." said Amy clearly shocked. "I'm so sorry. I just assumed." Amy could already feel a blush coming to her face. "It's alright. So when can Molly start?" asked Matt wanting this to be over immediatly. Amy sensing his urgency quickly grabbed her planner. "I can have her start tomorrow. I can pick her up from school and she can stay here until about five." said Amy looking at her planner and not the two men. "Alright. If we can't we will call you." said Mohider. "Great. Nice to meet both of you." said Amy as she got up and shock their hands. "Good day." said Mohinder as he and Matt left closing the door. Amy then feel into her chair and took a deep breath. "I really need better gaydar." said Amy. "I'm a psychiatrist for crying out loud.". Okay that was Chapter Three. I hope you all enjoyed Chapter Three. Now next Chapter will have more with Niki, Micah and Monica, Claire and her family will finally make an apperance. Hiro will appear later and Peter who knows. And coming up Amy's ability will be revealed. Hope you all enjoy. Also I know next to nothing of Spanish or Japanesse so I'm not even going to bother. Enjoy and tell me what you think.

OWI OFFICER Posts: 5112 (04/03/08 1:32 AM) OWI SECURITY Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	I just read both 2 and 3...excellent AU type story. I am interested in seeing what Amy's power is going to be. Don't worry about the "impossible stuff" I think most of us have learned to suspend reality for storyline purposes. I had a president being elected in 2010...not an election year of course. I think if the story is good enough, which it is, people overlook the pesky details. Great job! Can't wait for more.

OWI ANALYST Posts: 48 (04/03/08 9:28 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thank you Synch and Shangrilla for reviewing what I have so far. I know that right now nothing really interesting is happening but I promise things will pick up soon. And don't worry I won't have to many seperate threads going on for to long. I plan on having all of them get linking. Now on to the next Chapter. Oh yes one more thing to point out Monica's grandmother and little brother will not be featured in this story. They exist but it will be explaned in the chapter. CHAPTER FOUR NEW ORLEANS "Mom where's my computer?" asked Micah as he started to search through one of the many boxes. "I don't know. We still have a few boxes down her to unpack." shouted Niki from the kitchen as she was busy cleaning up their breakfast. "Okay." shouted Micah and Monica just grinned at Niki while getting her uniform on. "It seems your settling in just fine." said Monica. "Yeah but there is still so much to do." said Niki as she put another dish down while looking at the small television on the counter. "I'm just sorry my place isn't really that big for you two. It's hardly big enough for me." said Monica. "I still don't understand why you didn't move with your grandmother." said Niki. "Well I thought about it but in the end I just really my own place. And I'm sending them some money every paycheck so she can help take care of Damien." said Monica. Niki nodded while looking at the rerun episode of Walker Texas Ranger. "Nothing on?" asked Monica. "No but this is slightly better than nothing." said Niki. Monica just grinned as she looked to see Chuck Norris launch a kick knocking the gun out of the crooks hand before doing a quick spin and kick sending the man crashing into the ground. Monica just shock her head and looked down at her watch. "Well I need to go. Hopefully I can talk to the manager and see if I can get promoted." said Monica as she grabbed her purse and started out the door. "Do you still want me to come by and pick you up?" asked Niki looking over her shoulder. "Yeah sure I get off at nine. I'll bring you and Micah something to eat and some drinks." said Monica as she took off to catch her bus and Niki just smirked before looking into the sink and seeing Jessica. "I told you I didn't need you." said Niki as she took the stopper out of the sink and the water flowed out. COSTA VERDA "Dad I'm going out for a walk." shouted Claire as she started to put her shoes on. "Really." said Noah as he walked out of the kitchen. "We still have a lot of packing to do.". "I know it's just I feel a little boxed in okay. I just want to walk around a little and clear my head." said Claire. "Alright but be back in an hour and a half okay. I don't want anything bad to happen to you." said Noah. "Okay I know. You've already told me a billion times." said Claire as she walked out of the door. The cool California air hitting her causing her hair to billow. Claire started to walk outside and all the while she kept thinking back to what she had lost. Zack was still in Odessa and she was unable to even say goodbye to him. Peter and Nathan were dead and she was on the run from the Company hoping that they wouldn't be able to find her. All in all her life was just going great. Kicking a stone to try and releave some stress she continued down the sidewalk just wondering what she was going to do now. As if her secret desires had been answered her cell phone started to ring. Taking it out she figured that her dad had just changed his mind and wanted her back home immediatly. "Hello." said Claire. "Hello Claire." came Nathan's voice that had Claire stopping in her tracks. "Nathan." said Claire shocked. "Yeah it's me. I just wanted to call and tell you that I was okay." said Nathan. "What about Peter." said Claire her hopes rising. A long pause however deflated that fleeting hope. "I'm sorry. He's dead. He broke free of me when we were high enough and I tried to look for him but I wasn't able to find him. I'm sorry Claire." said Nathan his voice just as broken as Claire's heart felt at that moment. Claire took a deep breath trying to hold back her tears. "It's okay. At least I know what happened. And your okay now right?" asked Claire. "Yes I'm fine. Look I know that your adoptive father is probably keeping you hidden from the Company. I just wanted to call and tell you that if you need me at all just give me a call. And I'll be their. I can fly." said Nathan. Claire nodded even though Nathan was not able to actually see it. "I understand. And do you mind if I call you ever now and then?" asked Claire. "I would love that. I have to go Claire." said Nathan. "Okay. Bye." said Claire as she hung up the phone and quietly fell to the curb as tears started to fall from her eyes. Hearing Nathan tell her that Peter was dead was like driving ice through her heart. She had always just assumed that as long as she heard nothing from them that she could pretend that they were alright. But now she knew the truth and it was breaking her heart to finally accept that Peter was gone. NEW YORK Looking out her office window Amy looked to see Molly playing with some of the other children. Amy had been prepairing for this all day when she had picked Molly up from school to begin her first session. Amy however was worried about Gabriel he seemed distant since moving in with her. The two have talked but Amy had the feeling that their was something going on that she had no idea about. It was like he was a different person, his hair and cloths seemed so strange to her. Almost like he was not Gabriel at all. Pushing her thoughts of Gabriel to the back of her mind Amy walked out of the room and headed to the courtyard. Opening her practice she knew she wanted a safe enviorment that the children could relax in. It was one of the main reasons why she opened the center in the first place. So that children like Molly could recapture just a small part of what they used to have. An innocnet childhood. "Molly. Come inside we have a session." Amy called out and Molly turned and started towards her. "Okay Dr. Farris." said Molly as she walked back inside. "Please call me Amy Molly. I want you to feel comfortable." said Amy as she opened the door and had Molly sit down in a chair. "Now Molly I want you to relax." said Amy as she turned off the lights in her office and grabbed a small pendulum. Flipping on a light so that the mirror on the pendulum could reflect it she place it in front of Molly. "Now I want you to focus on the pendulum and just relax." said Amy as she pulled it back let it swing gently. Amy looked at Molly and spoke softly. "Molly look only at the pendulum. I want you to relax and feel all the tension leave your body." Amy instructed and slowly Molly started doze off. "That's good Molly, now I want you to rest. Fall asleep and you will feel better I promise." and as Amy finished Molly did just that falling quickly to sleep. Amy stopped the pendulum and pulled up a chair in front of Molly. Taking a deep breath Amy took her hands and gently placed them on Molly's tempels and closed her eyes and began to concentrait. Opening her eyes Amy smiled to see Molly playing in the park. A usual place Amy would take her patients to. "Hello Molly." said Amy as she kneeled before her. "Hi. Where are we?" asked Molly as she looked around. "This a dream Molly. I'm just here to help you." said Amy. Even now she was still fascinated by her gift. Something she had discovered when she was still just a student and her room mate needed a message. That touch allowed Amy inside of her room mates mind. After breaking the hold Amy began to experiment and found that her gift had it's uses in her field. "How can you help me?" asked Molly. "I know this is hard for you to do Molly but I want you to show me the day your parents were murdered." said Amy. "No I can't the boogyman will get me." said Molly. "No he won't Molly. He can't hurt. I won't allow it." said Amy. "Now just relax and remeber." Amy focused on Molly and felt the area around them change to a kitchen. Molly was sitting at the table eating cereal while her mom and dad were just talking. Amy smiled at the memory, it reminded her of her family when she was young. A loud bang and Amy looked to see the back down blown off it's hinges and a man walk in and hold out his hand. A mist flew out and hit Molly's father and Amy covered her mouth as the man was frozen solid. Molly's mother screamed and took Molly from the table. The image shifted to Molly's mom moving a table and revealing a hidden space under the stairs. "Molly hurry." shouted the mother frantically pulling Molly into the room. "Molly stay here.". With that the room shut and the image froze. Amy sighed. "Molly I'm going to return us to the kitchen. Do you understand?" asked Amy. Molly shock her head as the scene went back to the kitchen. Like before everything was frozen as Amy walked over to investigate the monster who killed Molly's parents. She was a little taken off guard that he had powers but then again she had a special ability. It really was not that odd for there to be others. Amy however sighed as the image of the man was to fuzzy to make out anything. A normal occurance with her power. She could see the memories but that was pretty much it. "Okay Molly have you ever encountered the Boogyman after this?" asked Amy. Molly nodded and the scene changed to again showing a police room and two officers with Molly. Again the door was ripped off by unnatural force. One of the officers went at the man only to have a chair fly up and ram him into the wall imapling him. The other went to grab him only to have the boogyman grab his arm and turn him into a human popcicle. He then grabbed Molly who was screaming. Amy froze the image again and tried to look at the boogyman's face only to see it covered in shadow. "Okay this is really getting frustraiting." said Amy as she ran a hand through her curly hair. "I saw one more time a few days ago." said Molly. "You did." said Amy shocked. Was this monster following Molly wanting to kill her that badly. Amy allowed Molly to show her the memory as the scene shifted to Kirby Plaza. "Okay." said Amy as she froze the memory and started to walk around it. Molly was with Mohinder and three other people, Matt was leaning against a post shot. And in the center was a man looking like was being chocked and another person dressed in black holding out his hand. Amy walked over. "Now lets see who you are." said Amy as she looked and felt her knees almost give as she stared into Gabriel's face. "No." said Amy as she backed away. Feeling bile rise up to her throat. Looking at Molly she quickly ran back and took her hands. "Okay Molly you will not remember this at all. However you will feel better with the knowledge that the boogyman will not hurt you. You will feel calm now that you have Mohinder and Matt to protect you." Amy then closed her eyes opening them to be back in her office. Amy stood while Molly started to awaken. "Is that all?" asked Molly. "Yes for today. You can go back outside now." said Amy and Molly just nodded before running. Amy however had no clue what to think. Gabriel Gray, her best friend, someone who came to her door step bleeding was a killer. Sitting down Amy tried to let her mind process this and as she thought she let her tears also fall. NEW ORLEANS Niki knew something was wrong the moment she pulled up and saw the police cars that were in the parking lot. Getting out Niki ran to to where the front door of the burger place. "To late again it seems." said Jessica in the reflection only to have Niki ignore her and go in. "Aunt Niki." shouted Monica as she ran over and gave Niki a hug. "What happened?" asked Niki to a police officer that was coming. "Ma'am there was a incident here earlier." said the officer. "What kind of incident." said Niki. "An attempted robbery. However your neice was able to stop it." said the officer. "She did." said Niki looking at her. "Yeah she's a very brave girl. If we have any more questions well call you." said the officer before taking off. "Are you okay?" asked Niki. "Yeah just take me home please." said Monica. "Okay lets go." said Niki as she lead her neice out of the resturant and pretending not to notice Jessica's grin as she walked out of the resturant. Chapter four is finished ladies and gentleman. I hope that you like the little twists I've put in. If you have any question's on what Amy's power is feel free to ask and I will elaborate more on it. Hope you like and if you thought this was exciting wait till Chapter Five. Last Edited By: NortekHero 06/30/08 9:14 PM. Edited 1 times.

Which I suppose is a form of dreamwalking. Tales From The OWI

I was a little busy on Friday so I really couldn't update. And just to let you know Amy's ability can do more than go inside people's memories. I already gave one hint of her power and you will see it more elaborated. Also this chapter may not include anyone else but Amy and Sylar if that does happen then the next chapter will not have them. Okay enjoy. CHAPTER FIVE NEW YORK Sylar was sitting on the couch pretty pleased with himself. Yes he had to wear cloths that he had not worn since he was Gabriel but he could feel his strength returning each day. Pretty soon he was going to be back to his fullest strength and he could not wait to see what Amy could do. He had a guess that she wanted to talk to him about whatever it was and all he had to do was act like the patient friend. He still found himself grappling with the decision to kill Amy but in the end it really involved what her power was and if he saw any real use in it. Yes all he had to do was wait. Sylar gave pause when he heard footsteps coming to the door. Telling from the heartbeat he knew that it was Amy. However Sylar found it odd that her heart was beating so fast. It sounded like a barrell drum being rammed with a mallet. He wondered what could have caused her to feel like this. The door opened and Amy walked in holding a take out bag. "I got us some Italian food." said Amy her voice distant. Sylar could hear her heart beating faster now. He knew something was wrong he could feel it. "Are you okay? You look like you've had a hard day." said Sylar as he walked over to take the bags only for Amy to just walk over to her kitchen's island and just start to reach for the plates. "Yeah I saw a new patient today. Her story just got me today. It happens." said Amy focusing on dinner. Sylar just nodded even though she couldn't see it. "What's her name. Or is that against doctor patient confidenciality?" asked Sylar. "No I tell you her name." said Amy feeling a knot form in her throat. "Well?" asked Sylar slightly concerned. "Her name is Molly Walker." said Amy as she turned to face Sylar and he froze at the look in her eyes. She was studying him. Gageing his reactions which he tried to hide. "How could you do that Gabriel?" asked Amy. "Do what?" asked Sylar as he looked at her. "I saw you kill Molly's parents. And the police at the station where Molly was. So my question is Gabriel why did you do it?" asked Amy trying to hold herself together. Amy however felt her insides quiver as Sylar's face changed and became darker. "I really didn't want you to find out about that." said Sylar. "And my isn't Gabriel anymore. I'm Sylar.". "Sylar. Like that watch your father gave you when you were fifteen. Before he died." said Amy as she tried to move away from Sylar as he advanced. "Yes it was the sign for my new life." said Sylar. "What new life?" asked Amy. She however screamed as she felt something grab her and hurl her into the wall. Gasping for air Amy tried to move from the invisible force as Sylar walked in front of her. "I can see that your like me Amy. You have a power and I want it. I'm going to kill you like I did Molly's parent's and others just so I can become perfect." said Sylar. "Now why don't we make this easier and you tell me what that little power of yours is. And I promise I'll make your death quick.". Amy struggled and felt tears well in her eyes before feeling it slip she was still being held but Sylar was losing his grip on her. "You want to know what I can do Sylar?" asked Amy with a little bit of courage in her voice. "Yes." said Sylar his voice darkening becoming more dangerous. "This." shouted Amy as she wretched her arms free of Sylar's invisible grasp and placed them on his temples closing her eyes and concentraiting. Sylar felt something force it's way into his head and his eyes began to roll back. Sylar's eyes snapped open and he stumbled trying to gain clairity. Looking around though he froze when he saw that he was in Kirby Plaza. Looking down Sylar then noticed that he was wearing the exact same outfit that he wore that night when he was stabbed. "What is going on." shouted Sylar only to notice that his voice was darker like it had been when he was at his most murderous. "No." came a voice from behind and Sylar turned and froze seeing Gabriel Grey standing. The two studyed each other in shock. "What is happening." demanded Sylar. "I am." came Amy's voice as she started to walk. "You wanted to know what I could do well here it is. I can enter into people's minds. Create a connection so to speak. What were seeing is what I pulled from your mind.". "And what is he doing here?" asked Sylar looking at Gabriel. "I'm a psychologist remember. I seperated you from Gabriel. The sedistic id that's been poisioning his mind." said Amy. "And what stop me." said Sylar with a grin before holding out his hand at Amy. Only to have her continue to come to him. "Looking to do this." said Amy as she held her hand out and Sylar went flying into the air ramming into a post. "How?" asked Sylar getting up. "I'm in control Sylar. This place the mind I can mainpulate it. Making you powerless." said Amy. "This isn't real." shouted Sylar as Amy appeared before him. "The mind precieves everything as a form of reality." said Amy before backhanding Sylar. Amy then launched a kick into Sylar's stomach before grabbing him by his coat and hurling him through the glass window's of the first floor. Sylar crashed through the glass as well as the wall landing in an office of some sort. Trying to get up Amy appeared again grabbing Sylar and slamming in onto a desk before sending a powerful punch that caused blood to come out of Sylar's nose. Another fist came down but Sylar was able to move out of the way and the fist broke through the desk. Pulling her fist out Amy looked at Sylar and gasped for air as he was being chocked by an invisible force and being lifted off the ground. "Not so easy being prey is it." shouted Amy before sending Sylar flying out of the room through another wall and having him collapse on the ground. Amy then launched a savage kick into Sylar's chest and he could almost feel his ribs break. Sylar tried to get up and started to crawl over to where the fountain was. "This is it Sylar. Your death." said Amy as a sword appeared in her hand. Sylar looked at the blade in horror. It was the very same blade that the japenesse man had run him through. "Feels fitting. I can kill you with the very weapon that almost did it." said Amy as she held the sword up. "Yeah but what about him." pointed Sylar. Amy looked and gasped as she saw Gabriel bloodied and on the ground. "No." shouted Amy as she ran over to him kneeling. Amy looked and saw that every cut and bruise was a match for the one's she had placed on Sylar. "For a psychologist you forgot that I'm apart of Gabriel's mind. You kill me you kill him." said Sylar as he laughed. "Amy. I'm sorry." said Gabriel as he took Amy's hand. "It's okay. I'm not giving up." said Amy as she looked at Sylar. "Your right I can't kill you.". Sylar just smirked before feeling himself sinking. "What?" shouted Sylar. "But I can bury you deep in Gabriel's mind. So deep that Gabriel won't feel the urge to kill.". said Amy with a smile. "Gabriel created me. He needs me to be special." said Sylar. "That may be true. But I'm going to help Gabriel so that he will never need to kill. I'm going to make sure you stay buried away forever. Gabriel never needed you and I'm going to correct that mistake." shouted Amy her voice filled with hatred towards Sylar. Sylar looked at Amy before screaming out in rage as he vanished beneath the ground. Amy then looked at Gabriel and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm going to help you." said Amy as she closed her eyes. Amy opened them and broke the hold while Gabriel stumbled back. Amy felt tears well up as Gabriel looked at her. "Amy. Oh my God. What have I done." said Gabriel as he collapsed to the floor. Amy ran over to him and embraced him, holding him tight. "It's okay Gabriel. I'm here now." said Amy as her own tears had fallen. Holding Gabriel she felt torn. She had only buried his need to kill, his darker nature but Gabriel had still done them. However she could not hold the image of Sylar in her mind as she had faced him in Kirby Plaza. All she could think about was the scrawny teenage boy with glasses and had a habit of wearing cardigan sweaters who made her smile. The person she had fallen in love with and had never had the courage to tell. In Amy's heart she still knew that she loved him. And that was why she was going to make sure Sylar never returned. Even if it meant that it killed her. Okay that was the fifth Chapter. Did you see that coming? I hope not. Now just to recap. Amy has the ability to create links between people, she can use this to see into people's memories as well as control how they are viewed to a point. However she can also create realities in the mind where she can write the rules. With her knowledge of psychology it actually has allowed her to develop her power to it's fullest limits. Now the only problem is I don't have a name for this ability so it would really help if someone had a suggestion. Thank you and review. Last Edited By: NortekHero 06/30/08 9:15 PM. Edited 1 times.

I really didn't see that final piece coming. (I expected Sy wouldn't get to kill her, but I didn't expect him to be completely schooled that way.) Hard to judge what to call her power. Seems like a form of Astral Projection, but it's Tactile in nature. (Right? She has to actually touch someone to activate it?) That almost makes it sound similar to the Vulcan Mind Meld, but the effects are obviously quite different. I"ll give it some thought, see if I can come up with suggestions. (Not that you need them. Again, spectacular chapter.) Mr. Kring, Leave The Pretty Alone, Damn It!
