“Hell came after.” It was easy to say and Peter had no problem telling it how it was. He wasn’t going to try and lie just to make his world sound like a better place – there was no reason for keeping the truth away from Adam and Peter had become quite honest with himself about certain things and the filter to keep things from people just to make them feel safe was getting weaker and weaker as the years continued to stroll him by.
“After I wiped out half of New York, it didn’t take long for people to find out what we are – what we can do. Nathan became President out of the ashes of the city and he lied about what happened. He told the entire world that it was Sylar who blew up and killed all those people.” It would be quite clear that talking about Nathan hurt Peter emotionally, maybe even physically as his breath became quite sharp, hitching lightly before his continued. “People feared us. They were afraid so that made them go out and act on their own. It didn’t take long until we were being hunted down like animals. They couldn’t kill us, no, the law didn’t allow it, but it the law did allow for us to be locked away. We’re prisoners for being special.”
