"Petrelli VS Carlisle -- The Musical"
Who:  Peter Petrelli & Peter Carlisle (Blackpool)
When: Six months before Season 1


"He's making a mess."

Peter glanced up at the head nurse and arched an eyebrow.  "Oh yeah?"

"Yes.  And he keeps singing.  Take him down to X-Ray."

Peter didn't exactly care for the tone of voice his superior was using, but with two months left of his internship, he couldn't stand being a smart ass.  Shaking the hair out of his face, he took the chart under his arm and headed down to the waiting room.  "Mister Peter Carlisle?" he asked, smiling as he always did.  Patients in pain preferred to have a happy face to greet them.

Another half an hour? Great. That was all he needed. Pulling a face of dismay, he dropped down into the wheelchair. He didn't exactly want crutches on his first day in America. What would the other coppers think? Probably that he was a right dork.

Adjusting his jacket and making sure his shirt was find, he leaned his head back to glance up at Peter.

"I drink coffee, you know. Anything with caffeine in it really. But if you want to get me a donut, that works!" Peter declared with a cheerful grin, unable to turn down free food. He was starving, even if he'd recently had a ton of snacks from the vending machine.

He just got hungry fast these days.

"Coming right up."

Peter had a tendency to idolize people. Cops, doctors, paramedics, firefighters... He loved heroes. He loved the potential of being a hero. Sure, he was just a nurse, two months from getting an RN attached to the back of his name for a title, and that was relatively a heroic thing! He just put himself in the line of fire. He wasn't where the action was.

He didn't safe people. He simply tried to nurture them.

Peter returned ten minutes later with a coffee and two donuts. "You could always call the precinct you're assigned to. Bet they'd hook you up."
