I'm a Super Hero

"I'm a Super Hero"
Who: Peter and...Peter?
When: After a visit to Nathan's office, Peter's older brother decides to take him out for dinner and a surprise.  The 'surprise,' it seems, is on Nathan though!  It's been about three months since that night and Peter's life is about to change forever...

I'm not having a very good day.  I don't know how I've let it happen, but I've been stuck into the pediatrics group.  I'm the only guy on the entire floor, minus two male OB/GYN doctors and various boyfriends and husbands that go to visit the nursery or track me down to help them find their nurse.  Boy, are they surprised when the guy in the baby blue scrubs is their nurse!

All I want to do is sleep.  But no.

No, of course not because there's someone in my apartment.  I know it's not the best neighborhood but I've never heard of a break and enter in my building before.  I don't even think to grab my cell, just the umbrella from the stand by the door and brandish it like a bat.

"HEY!"

Put him down? For a little guy like him, he's sure got a big mouth. I laugh out loud and fling him back the way he came

"Or else what? You've been a bad boy, Peter. Timeout for you." He hits the wall hard and collapses on the floor, the terrified, writhing Mohinder still suspended next to him.

One idiot Petrelli down, one to go. Only the other one might not be that much of an idiot. Instead of barking ridiculous orders and charging me with no real purpose, he gets up from his crouching position and fires off a blue burst of lightning. The bolt narrowly misses frying my arm, just singeing my borrowed shirt. Sorry, Zane. Not like he needs it anymore.

"That's a cute trick. I just can't wait to try it."

He's on the move, but not for long, when I drop Mohinder and grab him instead. Clearly this brother is the stronger of the two, so I'll open him up first and see what else he's got tucked away in that pretty little head.

I'm not a good catch, but Mohinder still lands on top of me and it's pretty much pain city all the way through to next week. And then the healing kicks in. Wow. All right, that one's my favorite. He lightly roll Mohinder off of me and gently nudge him across the floor to the corner.

Telekinesis, the use of it, leave me disgusted. My fingers itch after. The emotion that I feel after has my skin crawling but I shake it off and use it again, aiming for the man that has my older self. He can owe me one next time.

When Sylar drops him, I'm one again in front of the bull and once again left breathless when he topples me over. Until I turn invisible at least. The look on his face is priceless!

I shake off the pain of the impact with the floor and drag myself upright, ready to defend my other self and Mohinder, and that's when I catch the flicker out of the corner of my eye. Peter disappears just as he is meant to, and my own memory of this moment flashes before my eyes.

This is it.

I want to change our future? I want to save my brother? Here's my chance.

Following suit immediately, I wait for it to unfold, every muscle in my body tensing with anticipation. It didn't take long for Sylar to smarten up to this trick.

Once those deadly shards of glass spear through the air, I shove Peter out of their path as hard as I can. Instead of him taking one in the back of the head, it lodges deeply into my chest. I don't even feel it when I hit the floor again because dear God, dying like this really hurts. Even though it's pretty quick.

I did the right thing. If he doesn't die, Nathan won't know he's indestructible. He won't follow through on the destruction of New York City --
