"He is opening his eyes."
"Finally!"
"Peter, Peter, can you hear me?"
Peter opened his eyes and saw his mother and Nathan leaning over him with worried faces, and behind them...
"Sylar!" he yelled, seeing his worst enemy standing near the door... wearing a white coat? And by his side, dressed in the same way... "Elle?!" Peter exclaimed, trying to get out of the hospital bed, but a shooting pain in his legs stopped him.
"What's happening? What have you done to me?”
"Whoa. Whoa. Easy, buddy." Nathan's soothing voice calmed him and he lay down in the bed, listening.
"Where am I?"
"You're in a hospital. You jumped off the roof of a 15-story building."
"What are you talking about?"
"Pete. You tried to kill yourself. "
"I did not try to kill myself! You were in the alley below, I jumped up and you flew and caught me... Then we discovered other people with abilities and ... we ... we stopped him!" Peter pointed at Sylar "He is a killer! He is a brain-stealer serial killer ... we stopped him and we saved the world!"
"Dr. Gray a brain-stealer serial killer?" Angela looked at Peter with sadness. "He is your neurologist, dear, one the best in the country!"
"You jumped, Peter," Nathan added, "Twenty-five feet to a fire escape. I climbed up and caught you, but you slipped out of my hands and hit your head on the ground. That's what happened."
"But ... Mom, tell him about the abilities and the Company! She," Peter pointed at Elle this time "she is a company agent; she electrocuted me with her hands."
Everybody smiled at this, and Dr. Gray said with a serious face "Peter, this is just your brain revising what happened. Dr. Bishop, here, saved your life with a defibrillator."
"You were in a bad shape when you arrived at the ER, Peter." Elle nodded.
While Nathan continued to reassure Peter, Angela approached the two doctors. "I can never thank you enough for saving my son, Dr Gray."
"I've already told you, you can call me Gabriel, Mrs. Petrelli."
"We've just done our duty, Mrs. Petrelli" Elle added with false modesty.
"Now we must leave, and please, remember, the patient must rest."
"Of course, doctor, don't worry"

Once the door was closed, the gowns disappeared and Primatech's empty corridors rang with Elle's giggles.
"I'd never thought that you having Parkman's power would be so funny! Even if that cold witch deserves a nightmare, not this fairy tale you made them believe."
"But they think we are their heroes, isn't that funny?"
"Ok, ok, I appreciate the irony, Gabriel, but now you can't deny anymore that you have a soft spot for Pretty Peter."
Sylar rolled his eyes at her mocking tone. "I don’t have a soft ... Pretty? Do you think he is pretty?"
"He got a pretty face especially when he does that puppy eyes thing, you know that. Now, who's next?"
Elle walked towards the next cell. "Oh, Glasses!"
"I'll give him a nice scar and we'll see if you'll still find him pretty..." muttered Sylar, not really paying her any attention.
"Can I choose this time?" A mischievous smile appeared on her face.
He nodded absently, still thinking about Peter’s face and Elle hugged him enthusiastically.
"You are the best boyfriend ever. Quick, make him think I'm his Indestructible Princess and kiss me."
"What? I do not want to kiss Claire, it's gross! "
"Oh, come on, it's gonna be fun!" Elle said, giving him a small electric kiss on the tip of the chin. "Think about him freaking out seeing you doing his precious Claire bear! He may have a heart attack or something! "
Sylar looked down at her, all expectations and delights, and knew he couldn't deny her anything.
"You're insane, you know that?"
"That's why we get along so well, Gabriel!"
