WHO: Nathan Petrelli, Buffy Summers, Annie Wheaton WHERE: The Hyperion and beyond. WHEN: May 11; late morning right after this scene WHAT: The three go to find Peter. RATING: TBD STATUS: thread; in-progress
Not entirely certain which person was 'Buffy', though process of elimination left very few individuals for whom he had not placed a name to a face, Nathan approached Annie instead. Even had he known exactly who Buffy was, it was Annie that had his attention now, due to the previously mentioned connection and then Katara's assertion that Annie felt certain she could find Peter. He, however, hadn't heard more than two words from the young girl, let alone directly saying she felt certain. Several days ago, special powers would have been his last assumption as an explanation, reasonable or not, but now, after all that had occurred, he did wonder if she had some telepathic power like Peter's.
Whatever the real reason was, he didn't particularly need to know, only that it could be a way to find Peter. In fact, he hoped perhaps she did have some skill with telepathy, no matter how slight, so she could reach out to Peter where he had failed.
"Hi Annie," he said as he came to a stop near her, a slight smile on his face in a conscious effort to not appear stern or intimidating. "I'm Nathan, Peter's brother."
