VIII. [ location: sanctuary for all (the shoe) ] i'm walking wounded, and i'd say it to your face.

The Shoe was where the worst of the worst were kept. At least, that was what Peter remembered from the flood of memories from Dr. Magnus. The place in the Sanctuary where they kept the Abnormals that could never be allowed to intergrad with others were kept. The ones that they could hardly let roam free in fear of hurting others. It was the first ( Read more... )

It had been a few days, which gave Max some time to heal, both mentally and physically. The cuts on her legs were almost healed. She'd been told to take it easy and, for once, she was obeying doctor's orders (mainly because she didn't want to spend the majority of another night with a nasty headache, getting dizzy and throwing up). She'd been filled in on the basics of what had happened to Peter after he'd disappeared the other night. She had put off going to see him for a while, but eventually her desire to see if he was all right overrode her anger at him for attacking him ( ... )

Peter was pacing his cell, running ideas after ideas in his mind. His body was screaming at him to just shut up and sleep, but he wouldn't. Not until he had a firm idea in his mind what he was going to do. First, if his powers did eventually go away, he'd have to convince Magnus he was safe. Then he'd go to everyone he hurt and apologize, letting them mangle him if they wanted.

Then he was going to move out of the Sanctuary without a word to anyone. After attacking Magnus and hurting Max, he didn't deserve to be in the building.

Peter stopped when he felt a gaze on him. He slowly lifted his eyes up to find Max. There was a slow realization that dawned on his face, then his eyes widened. Normally he'd run up to the glass and ask if she was alright. Except this time he backed away further into the cell. His back hit the back wall and his eyes went away from her.

He didn't deserve her company.

It was painful to watch him do that.

She knew why he was backing away. It made sense - she wouldn't be too eager to be near him if she'd attacked or hurt him, either. But at the same time, it wasn't his fault and she knew that. It was the glitch. The ability, whatever. It wasn't him.

Max just stared at him quietly for a long moment, then spoke up.

"You know, that kinda behavior can really hurt a girl's feelings."

[location: the shoe] makeshisownway November 26 2009, 09:42:23 UTC

His eyes didn't move upwards. They stayed stubbornly on the floor in front of it.

"Previous behavior hurt more than a girl's feelings." Peter said softly.

He knew it was hurting her, and him. Except he was so full of hurt at the moment he couldn't tell if it was more or less than being hurt over what had happened to Nathan. When he thought about it though, he had to shut his eyes to keep from flinching. He had no idea what he did to her, but he could remember how she looked after it. And it broke his heart.

While he was surprised he still had pieces of it to break by this point.

No matter how much Ashley had wanted to go after Peter, to know what the hell had happened and why he'd attacked her mom she hadn't wanted to leave. There might have been other people that could have stayed with her but that wasn't the point, so instead of going after Peter - and likely doing something nasty back - she'd stayed in the Sanctuary, letting her mom heal a little before finally leaving her alone ( ... )

Peter had gone to sitting, once again, in the cell. His eyes were on the wall beside him as he just... stopped thinking. There was nothing left to think about. The Haitian Pills canceled out all of the abilities he had in his head. It cave him a nice peace and quiet. Thankfully there was the hum of some sort of machines to make him from going completely nuts. He refused to talk on the tablets to anyone.

He was aware that someone was watching him. Peter just didn't bother to look over at whoever it was. Max broke his heart enough. He didn't want to turn and see Nathan or Claire there.

"Plan on ignoring me? Cause I can do this all day." Which was true if you didn't include having to sleep at some point, and probably needing a fresh set of clothes too.

[ location: the shoe ] makeshisownway November 26 2009, 10:35:31 UTC

"It'd be easier, Ash." He admitted and swallowed the lump in his throat.

Facing Magnus would be hard enough, but having to face her only daughter was even worse. The daughter that almost lost her mother because he couldn't control an ability. Because, he was too weak to control it. He really was pathetic.

Nathan could feel himself wavering. No matter how hard he was struggling to keep Sylar down, the man was killing him, slowly leaking into his consciousness and trying to suffocate it out of his body. He wasn't sure how much longer he could hold onto him and keep him restrained. It didn't help that Nathan's mind was second guessing what he was doing. The man had a right to his body, psychotic or not, and to forcefully keep it from him made him little better than his mother or Parkman. It was with these thoughts circulating through his mind as well as the arguments that he'd had with both Claire and Mohinder weighing there as well, he found himself heading quietly down to the Shoe with the intention of trying to do what he needed to do as himself and help his brother conquer this thing. Even if he wasn't really Nathan, he still had all of the drives and desires that Nathan Petrelli might. And right now, his main desire was to see Peter be all right. No matter what it took ( ... )

[location: sfa; the shoe] makeshisownway November 26 2009, 11:24:16 UTC

Peter didn't have the memories that this Nathan had. Not that he ever wanted them. He didn't even want to know Nathan was dead. Except, he ended up learning because of his natural instinct to help people. Gabriel needed help. He had the ability to help. And it didn't get either of them anywhere but in a hell hole. Gabriel became Nathan. The one thing Peter had tired to convince him of the most ended up backfiring. Then only to learn that he did kill Nathan. It left Peter lost, not knowing what to do ( ... )

"Still. You'd think the way that Helen had the rest of this place done up, the cells would be just as posh," Nathan said, a slightly playful expression on his face despite Peter's blank expression. Stepping forward, Nathan lingered just back away from Peter, staring at his brother's back with quiet wide eyes. What could he say? There really wasn't anything that he could do about this except stand here awkwardly and offer quiet support. But he'd taken his tack from something else so far. Maybe... Maybe that was what Peter would need ( ... )

[location: sfa; the shoe] makeshisownway November 28 2009, 07:31:54 UTC

He shrugged. Peter kept his face neutral and on the wall, or as best as he could. He didn't want to lash out. Even if he wanted to tell him to stop being Nathan and be who he really was. That was all Taxon needed, two evolved humans with a crazy homicidal ability running free. The thought made him keep quiet as the other Nathan continued on. They were questions Peter had asked himself and already came to a decision on.

"Someone brought Haitian pills." He replied calmly. Peter had no idea who it was that did it, but he had been taking them the last few days. The sedative wore off after awhile. "I'll just use those. Even if it means I won't be special anymore."

What was the point of being special if he couldn't help the people he loved? Hell, he hurt the people he loved, even hurt people he didn't know. He asked to be special to help people. Not destroy them.

Nathan wasn't sure he should be here.

What he did know was that he'd done nothing but hate himself the last few days for staying out of the way. He'd been in and out, getting updates and only looking in on Peter when he was sure he was asleep. Every time he'd left feeling worse, feeling like a coward.

But seeing him, for all the good it clearly wasn't going to do his brother, hadn't been an option. Now that it'd been some time, Nathan was hoping he was starting to get better. If only so he could talk to him ( ... )

"Bad."

Peter was on his back, laying in the chair, staring at the ceiling of the cell. He was still trying to come to terms with it all. Claire had talked to him plenty of times, then Sylar visited him... and Max. He sighed and ran his hands down his face. What the hell was he supposed to do? He didn't know.

"You?"

Re: [location: sanctuary for all: the shoe] the_flyingman November 30 2009, 00:43:44 UTC

"I'm fine."

Sure he was.

Nathan's eyes darted around to the cell at large. It looked like something you'd find at Primatech. And he was about as pleased as Peter had to be for the reminder. He wanted him out of here. Now.

"Are they taking care of you here?"

[location: sanctuary for all: the shoe] makeshisownway November 30 2009, 06:28:51 UTC

"Yeah." Peter sighed slowly. "Everyone wants me to leave it, though." He shifted slightly in the chair.

It was too dangerous for him to leave.
