CHARACTERS: Marian of Knighton & Peter Petrelli WHEN: After this LOCATION: An apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan WARNINGS: None SUMMARY: Peter's painting of the future STATUS: Closed, in progress
Peter really hadn't been sure what to expect when he let himself tap into Isaac's ability. Painting the future had always been somewhat of a treacherous journey. Painting a future situation that he had little to no context for could only spell out trouble. And yet here he was, letting himself go down that road and hope for the best. What did he get in return? A painting he seriously didn't understand, and he wasn't entirely sure he wanted to.
But this wasn't something he could keep to himself, even if he was unsure about it. The occupants of the train deserved to know what might be in their future. First, he wanted to show it to those he trusted, get their opinions, because Peter didn't trust his own thoughts and beliefs any more. After all the wrong he'd done, after assuming only his views and theories were right... being proven wrong over and over again made him question himself.
When Marian replied to his post, Peter felt a bit of relief. Having cast an illusion on himself to hide his scars for the entirety of their stay in New York, he took one last look at the painting before shaking his head and teleporting to where Marian. She'd had enough sightseeing, so hopefully she wouldn't mind teleporting back to the painting. Hey, it was something new, right? Something different than more sightseeing.
Part of him had been happy to see New York City again, and he'd done his own sightseeing for the sake of it. But this wasn't his New York. There was no Nathan here, no Simone, nothing familiar apart from landmarks. He didn't blame Marian for having seen enough of it herself.
Appearing behind the younger woman, Peter sent her one last message to turn around and put it back in his pocket. "Should've known better than to try painting the future, but I seem to have a problem with leaving things alone that shouldn't be tampered with."
