WHO: Noah Bennet, Nathan Petrelli, Peter Petrelli, and Adam Monroe. And Death.
WHAT: Nathan's drunken jackassery has consequences.
WHEN: After this.
WHERE: In and outside the bar where Nathan is drinking.
RATING: R for violence. And brief, mod-approved character death. It's Heroes, people. This is absolutely nothing new. Everyone in that group right there has died once...or twice...or seventy-thousand times.
STATUS: Complete.

Noah could handle a lot of things, but seeing Angela Petrelli break down and start sobbing because her son was being a drunken bastard wasn't one of them. He understood that Nathan was having issues with his death, but blaming his mother and accusing her of orchestrating it wasn't something he would stand for. He'd gone out, ending up at the bar where Nathan was currently doing his best to pickle his liver with tequila, walking up behind the senator with a look that told everyone in the place not to mess with him. Noah was a person who relied on people underestimating him, and tried his best to make sure they did. He wasn't trying now.

Grabbing Nathan by the back of the shirt, he all but dragged the man out of the bar, shoving him hard against the outside wall. "Listen to me, you little shit," he growled, "Angela has done more for you than you'll ever know. And you have no right talking to her like that. You didn't see her after you died. It destroyed her. So next time you decide to go on a drunken rampage, leave her the hell out of it." And he pulled back his fist and punched him hard in the jaw for good measure.

"Shut up. I just saved your life. I'll call you whatever I damn well please," Adam said, grinning as he clapped Noah on the shoulder before moving to help him to his feet. It was a pretty fine mess they'd gotten into, and it was a pretty huge blood stain that Noah had left on the street. But he was alive, and really, that was what mattered in the end. That Angela wasn't going to kill her oldest son for murdering her best and most loyal agent in a fight of drunken rage.

"And it's nothing," Adam said, offering the empty needle up to Peter before standing from his crouched position, offering Noah a hand up. "Already did it to Claire once to help her sort out that no pain issue. And besides, it's not like anyone's going to make a habit of dying around here. I've got blood to spare."

Noah shook his head. "Not being ungrateful," he assured Adam with a groan as he was helped to his feet. He stumbled slightly, and Peter moved quickly to steady him. Noah was sort of a mess, with blood all over him and he wasn't entirely steady on his feet, still recovering from the whole being dead thing. He gave Adam and Peter a nod of acknowledgment though. "I'm going to go and get cleaned up and get some sleep. Dying is exhausting. Thank you both again." And then he stumbled off.

Peter watched him go and then turned back to Adam. "Bars aren't closed yet," was all he said. They could both probably use a drink right now. Just not tequila.

"Bit of a waste on me, really, but if you need the company, I'm not saying no," Adam said, grinning sideways at Peter. Alcohol was really the one thing that he truly missed. It really was true what they say. Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic even when it doesn't do anything for you anymore. Adam still missed that empty warm feeling that it left in the pit of his stomach and the back of his head. Now, he could drink galleons of the stuff and barely get buzzed.

Clapping Peter on the back as he smiled, turning and lending the other man in the direction that the bars were, Adam couldn't help but muse out loud. "I wonder if they have any decent sake."
