WHO: Elle Gray and Gabriel Gray.
WHAT: Awkwardness and confusion from the change.
WHEN: When they wake up.
WHERE: Their bedroom.
RATING: A for awkward.
STATUS: In progress.

Elle woke up and shifted toward Gabriel, wrapping and arm around her husband. It had been a good few weeks, settled down and safe as they ever were. Noah seemed happy to be in one place for a bit, even if he didn't get to interact too much with other kids his age. Elle wished her son could have a normal childhood, but they'd tried that once and nearly lost him. This really was for the best best. "Morning, sweetheart," she said softly, snuggling closer to Gabriel and kissing the side of his neck.

It was about then she fully woke up and realized that they weren't in their room, but in a wholly unfamiliar place. She sat up quickly and reached under her pillow for her gun, unsurprised not to find it. "What the hell is going on?" she asked, panicked but trying to keep her cool. "Where are we?" Was this something Pinehurst had done? Some new way of fucking with them? "We need to see if Noah is here!"

Sweetheart? Why was something kissing his neck? He was pretty sure that he hadn't made it back to New York yet. Blinking fully awake at the exclamations, Gabriel sat up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and squinting. Uh. All right. Exactly who was that, and why was she sleeping in his bed and calling him sweetheart?

"I think Bennet can take care of himself," Gabriel said with a yawn as he raked a hand through his hair before it finally dawned on him. He wasn't anywhere that he recognized. He might have been staying in an apartment that had been unfamiliar lately, put up by the federal government, but this wasn't it. Nor was it his place back in New York. And it wasn't the place in Newark, either. All right. What the hell?

Strange woman in a random place worried about Bennet. If this didn't scream Company Test, he wasn't sure what did.

Bennet? Elle's eyes widened and she pulled away further. Did Pinehurst have a shapeshifter on their payroll. "Bennet?!" she asked sharply. "Why the hell would I be asking about Noah Bennet? I'm talking about our son, Gabriel!" She stared at him with a wary expression, forming a ball of lightning in her hand.

"You tell me right now," she said, her tone cold and definitely threatening, "who are you and what the fuck have you done with my husband and my son?" She didn't release the lightning in her palm, but kept it there as a precaution. "Your intel is seriously wrong if you think that Gabriel would ever confuse our son and Noah Bennet. Bennet's been dead for almost twenty years!"

"Now I'm going to ask again," she said. "Who the hell are you?"

What...the...hell?

"Elle?" The question was out of his mouth before he could even think of another explanation. Of course there had to be other electrokinetics. Of course, some were likely older than Elle. A few probably were even female and blond. But the only person that could possibly be addressing him by name, threatening him, and talking about their son could possibly be Elle.

Only... She looked about twenty years too old. Or rather, twenty years older.

"Um. Gabriel Gray?" Gabriel said by way of answering her question. What else could he say as he held up his hands. Not that that would do much good. He didn't need his hands to do have the things he could. "Fuck. I didn't accidentally go and use Hiro's ability again, did I? I hate when that happens."

"That's my name," Elle snapped, frustrated by the whole situation. She wanted to be home with Noah and her husband. This whole situation had her on edge and she found herself mentally listing Pinehurst agents, trying to think of any shapeshifters or illusionists on their payroll. She couldn't think of any.

Then Gabriel spoke. And mentioned Hiro's ability. And suddenly everything made sense in a very weird way. Well, not everything, but why Gabriel was so confused. Sometimes it was annoying, having a husband who didn't age. It made it hard to tell how old he was. "What year are you from? I'm guessing you're from the past...probably before 2008 if you don't know about Noah..."

"2007," Gabriel replied, his hands still raised in the air. It wasn't like Elle could actually hurt him. She'd given killing him a damn good try when Arthur had had him talk to her. Of course, it had only been long continuous blast, and she'd given up after about twenty seconds, but still, he'd come out of it with everything except his shirt intact. "And here I thought I couldn't get drunk," He half mumbled to himself. Just a few minutes ago, he'd been sure that he'd been helping Peter carry Nathan back to the his own DC apartment to dump him on the couch and let him sleep it off. He hadn't constantly activated Hiro's ability if that was what this was.

But he still wasn't honestly sure what this was.

But the confusion was quietly pushed to the back of his mind as he stepped towards Elle slowly. For her, someone was missing, and while he didn't have any idea who exactly that was, that could be changed rather easily. His hand reached out towards her, a tentative movement that he was sure to keep slow, before touching her cheek and drawing on the most recent memories that she had.

A teenage boy. Their teenage boy. The idea was almost staggering, but he was able to compose himself enough to pull up Molly's ability. And blinked.

"He's on the balcony of this apartment... Wherever this apartment is."

Because they certainly weren't where they damn well should be.
