admin: challenge #5 Save the Heroes
"Save the Cheerleader! Save the World!" We've all heard it, and the fateful episode is coming up SOON. \o/
Likely, "saving Claire" is a literal thing. Say rescuing her from harm. But lots of people on our show need salvation in some form or another. Some in more than one, like poor Isaac captive and addicted and lovelorn! Some from others of our heroes, like Mohinder from Eden's powers of suggestion.
Who needs saving, from what, and how? Will it happen? You decide. The challenge for the next two weeks is Save the Heroes. Take that as literally or as figuratively as you want.
