Title: Afterburn
Fandom: Heroes
Character(s): Nathan, Peter
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Nathan wasn’t supposed to save the world.
Notes: Spoilers for episode 1:23 - How To Stop An Exploding Man. Written for 100_wonders prompt “burnt.”
Nathan wasn’t supposed to be the one to save the world.
Not that Peter begrudged his brother that much. It wasn’t jealousy; it never had been. But Nathan was rarely selfless, and to be honest, he just wasn’t very good at it. He always ended up getting burned.
Burned. It was an unfortunate word choice, and all too appropriate. Peter had seen Nathan as he fell; had seen his face, glowing with heat, his hands already turning black as he lost his grip on Peter. Had seen his brother burn.
It wasn’t fair. Nathan wasn’t supposed to save the world.
