World 5- The Formula

(They would still have a mother, Marie's fine But )

Does.... everyone... have to think that? she asked softly, after a minute. I nodded.

I think so.... or almost everyone, anyway. You both can know the truth, and Peter, and some of the people fighting with us.... but no one else.

She winced.

Even the family?

I sighed, nodding again. It seemed unfair.... it was, really. Even though we weren't close, I knew it'd hurt them to believe that they'd lost a daughter, a sister. But it was the way it had to be, or they'd truly lose me.

That sucks, Alicia commented lightly. I didn't reply to her. She was right.... and yet, it was how it'd have to be. I'd known the plan for long enough to get to grips with the fact.

At least we can still know, though, she forced a smile. And at least it's not for real..... that's the silver lining, I guess.

(A proper mother and )

( After a car crash, the body wouldn't be in any state for an open casket, anyway. And I'd imagine Pinehearst would either claim that it was already destroyed in the crash, or that there'd been too much delay in the claiming so it'd been cremated, to prevent anyone from somehow reviving her)

I tried to rack my brains to even remember where she had been living before.. it, wanting to see Peter, wanting to hear about why it had happened and most importantly - how she could be saved

(Hang on, is Pippa half considering throwing away her neutrality to save me? )

The phone continued to ring, and I continued to watch it like it was a venomous snake. I could see Alicia getting antsy. She wanted to answer it, she wanted to speak with him, apologise, explain.... but she knew what would happen if she did. They both still needed to remain hidden, almost as much as I did, if they were to stay here and continue fighting.

That's Peter's brother, right? Alicia asked, following my line of vision. It's a bit weird.... do you think he'll win?

I shrugged.

I've got no ideas. I haven't been paying much attention to any of the opinion polls they show.

( You're welcome.)

I tried all the numbers I had had for the two of them and came up blank. I tried the addresses I had known her to live at and neither of those provided answers either. This only maddened me further, I had to find him, I had to find out how to save her.. even if it meant.. I ignored the thought, but I knew it was true. If that was all I needed to save her, I would fight again. I tried asking Gabriel but he had no idea either. I called Daphne, who hung up, clearly feeling she had done me enough favours. Probably true.

But it was her sister too! I thought, annoyed at her for not being more helpful. I tried to call Kaylee, who also didn't answer. I don't know why I expected she would know. Someone had to know, someone had to be able to find him. I thought of Alicia and Ellis, wondering if there was some way I could get to them. Would they know where Peter was? Would anyone? I thought of Nathan, as well, his brother.. but I doubted it - I also doubted he would help me, purely because of my affiliation with Gabriel

( Thanks. So sweet )

I continued searching through my mind, trying to think of anything either of them had mentioned that might lead me to their location. I guessed Pinehearst wouldn't have the answered I wanted even if they were willing to share. I tried Kaylee again, and this time, she picked up Your fingers better be bleeding, she commented, since I had only been given the number of life threatening situations which I had understood as "any situation that might endanger Noah".

Do you know where Peter Petrelli is?

( Nice that she's so protective of her half-brother )
