05. And when at last I find you/Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you/Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me/Oh, you know, I will
I will.
[I Will - The Beatles]
It was hard, talking to Swati about what was happening in America to her foster fathers and to other people like them who were "special". Not only because of how it made Molly feel every time she thought about it but because Swati didn't believe her at first. No one from the government had come after the girls, or Sanjyong, or anyone else in India who may have had abilities. Not like they had in Japan or London. She wasn't sure why. Maybe Nathan Petrelli didn't have the same arrangement with India's government that he had with other places. Or maybe he just didn't think that Molly was a big enough threat to chase after. But for whatever reason, it made Molly relieved. She and her friends in India were safe, for the time being at least.
At the same time, she also felt guilty. She and her friends in India were safe, while Micah, Matt, Mohinder and others like them in America and other places around the world were not.
Finally Molly was able to convince Swati of the gravity of what was going on. Then came the next hurdle: convincing Swati to join Rebel and their cause. It was the perfect plan - Molly could use her powers to find people that Petrelli was hunting, and Swati could use her ability to get them to a safe place instantly. But planning and execution were two different things, and Molly couldn't blame Swati for being reluctant. After all, they would be risking capture by the agents themselves.
Eventually Swati agreed to help Molly and Rebel. Molly was so excited, she couldn't wait to e-mail Micah to let him know that Rebel had one more team members. So instead, using a combination of her clairvoyance and Swati's "opening", she decided to give him the good news in person.
Molly had to admit, seeing the expression on Micah's face when she and Swati had walked into the base headquarters for "Rebel" was priceless.
