Who: Peter Petrelli and Elle Bishop with Noah.
Where: Central Park
When: Afternoon
Why: Because she hadn’t been in NY in over a year and she needs to explore..
Open: Sure!
Rating: TBD.

Elle needed to get out of the apartment! She felt like the walls were about to close in on her. She went out almost daily when she was in Ohio and since she had been there, she had not been out at all. She just needed to escape with Noah and spend some alone time with him without Gabriel or Luke around for a awhile.

Elle had spent most of the morning shopping. She never realized how much she had missed bustle of New York. She was in such a good mood Elle even picked a few items up for Luke. Which should be delivered to the apartment later in the afternoon, but now with Noah in a stroller, she just wanted to soak up the atmosphere that she has missed for over a year.

She decided to show Central Park to Noah, in addition, she figured Noah would like to see sculpture of the story that Gabriel had been bringing to life for him in the past few days since he had been reading Alice in Wonderland for Noah‘s bedtime story.

She made her way to the northern end of Conservatory Water and stopped in front of the sculpture. She moved around to the front of the stroller and picked Noah up. “See there,” she pointed to the center of the sculpture “that Alice, the little girl your Daddy’s been telling you about.”

She moved slightly to her left “And there is the bunny who is always late.” she laughed “I would impersonate the voice, but I am not talented like your father.” she looked over at Noah and gave him an Eskimo kiss, which made him giggle. She swung him over her other hip with ease “And there is the Mad Hatter.” she pointed “I think he’s one of your favorite voice that Daddy does.”

“Mine is the queen.” she told Noah, they both laughed at her statement as she moved the stroller to the side for it wouldn’t be in the way so she could show him the Cheshire Cat, but Elle knocked the diaper bag over in the processes.

He loved kids. He wanted to be a father one day, but he'd always been so concerned; what if he wasn't a good father, what if his kids hated him? What if they had a mother who took them away like Heidi did to Nathan? He smiled and knelt down a little to Noah's level. "Well hey there, buddy. Christ, you are just adorable."

He laughed a little and stood back up, moving his bangs from in front of his eyes. "Me? It's been... an interesting two years. Definitely not something I'd really like to discuss in front of Noah." Of course, Elle would probably have known about the hunt, and how Nathan had betrayed Peter and the rest of his family, right?

"I work as a paramedic at two different hospitals right now. I'm on a break but I can't sleep. I'm exhausted but I just can't sleep." He said with a shrug. "I see you've been keeping yourself well... you and Noah that is. Congratulations, by the way.."

“Of course, I know somewhat of what happen. Gabriel told me a few things.” she made a face as she bent down to put Noah back in the stroller for she didn’t know everything yet.

She looked up when he commented about how she had been keeping busy and congratulated her, “Thanks, it was certainly a surprise.” she admitted as she finally stood back up. “Care to walk with us a bit? Catch up on the past few months at least?”

She smiled sweetly at him, maybe too friendly, but she wanted the company. “You can walk off some of that extra energy.” she suggested “And then Noah and me won’t be alone in the park. So you would be doing us a favor.” she didn’t need him for protection, they both knew it, she was just trying to make it hard for him to say no.

"That sounds great." he said with a small smile, taking the bag from his friend and putting it over his shoulder to give her a break. "Figured you could use the rest."

He began to walk next to her, enjoying the day. It was nice out; how could he possibly just sleep this away? "All the same for me in the past couple months, really. Seeing my mother on a regular basis and making sure she's alright; I haven't spoken to Nathan in a long time, though I really do still miss him." he frowned. Everyone knew Peter missed his brother so much, but in the same note couldn't bare to be with him for fear of the other man's political power and emotional control over him.

"So where have you been? Why... uh, why didn't you ever let me know you were okay? I had no way to get a hold of you. I thought... well. You know me. I always... think the worst."

“Thanks.” she commented as he took the bag and the pair walked along. Elle tried to smile as he spoke of his family, she didn’t like them, well his mother at least. She knew he was close to them though and she tried to pretend that she cared.

However, when he asked about her she sighed and the smile faltered. “Well… I have been everywhere.” she made a face and then bluntly stated, “He did kill me.” she looked over at him and laughed, “I know how that sounds and it’s horrible, but someone saved me. I don’t know whom, I didn’t stick around to see, and I ran. I couldn’t call anyone for he took my phone so I went to London, saw Claude.”

Elle then looked down at Noah who was watching the people around them. “When I found out I was pregnant, I left, he probably thinks I am dead now.” she chuckled at the thought. “Anyways… I went home, not here, but to Ohio. Had Noah, made a small life for us, a very boring life for us.” she sighed “Then one day Gabriel appeared and here we are.” it was the cliff notes version, but there was no need for all the details. “He mentioned that he ran into,” she said offhandedly.

"He left out that part." He said, referring to how she'd admitted Sylar killed her. Frowning, he looked back at her for a moment. "You still never told me why you never called to let me know you were alright, but I guess I did just kind of... abandon you back then." He bit his lip a little bit and then shrugged. "I'm sorry."

He'd liked Elle. He'd really liked Elle. He'd waited everyday to see if she would come by to see him, but she made him wait, which only made him stay closer and keep interested. He'd come to adore those little shocks she gave him; she'd always been right. He'd learned to like it. Though, whether or not he was just being used by her, he didn't know. If it wasn't for the Company though, he would have never met her.

"You don't seem so happy that he and I ran into each other." He gave a small, but sad smile. "I uh, I was pretty glad I saw him in the middle of the street... you know. Thinking he was the old, same Sylar. Not like I really have anything he wants."

“Like I said, he had my phone and it’s not like I had you on speed dial,” she pointed out bluntly, but she eased up when he apologized for she did not see that coming.

“Don’t worry about it Pete.” she said with a shrug of her shoulders. “It’s water on the bridge now and it was a lifetime ago,” it truly was. “I think it wasn’t for the fact you ran away, in the end it was with who you ran away with. Adam was such a narcissistic asshole.” she then cringe as she looked down at Noah. “You did not hear that,” she told her son for the last thing she needed was him going around saying asshole.

“The thing is… no offense, but your family hasn’t been the greatest thing for me,” she laughed at how ridiculous that sounded, but continued to talk “Your mom sacked me, your father encouraged me and Gabriel, and well we already know the history between us.” Elle pointed between the two of them. “Toward the end when I was questioned if I knew your parents were not his and that was one of the pieces to lead to my death,” she made a face at the thought.”

She sighed “But here I am with a child in tow. I was not sure if I was coming here to be with Gabriel or not. I wasn’t sure if I wanted everyone to know I was alive.” she shook her head “I know that doesn’t make sense, but he told you about me without us even talking about it. That is why I was mad about it.”

"Isn't the saying water under the bridge?" He asked with a small smile her way. "Adam is gone now, anyhow..." Peter knew fully well that Adam had just used him to get out of the complex; everyone knew it just as much as everyone knew Pete was a pretty big pushover and would do anything to help anyone, even the 'narcissistic assholes'.

"No offense? My family hasn't been much good for anyone in the past year or so... Nathan has lost custody of his kids, my father is dead and my mother well... she was hunted too by Nathan's men. My brother had no boundaries. No... morals." He bit his lip, thinking about how he'd seen Monty use a power to move himself from one place to another and a terror seemed to wash over him, wondering what Nathan might do with his own son if he found out.

He nodded a little. "Don't be upset... I don't have anyone to tell that you're back in my life. Well, I mean, not 'technically' back in my life, but... well you know." And it was true. He wasn't about to tell his mother (even though she'd probably already had a dream about it) and he really didn't talk to anyone else...

"You have a child now, I'm more apt to protect you, even if you have someone like Sylar to be yours and Noah's guardian. I know I never told you, but I loved your visits. Every one of them, and I'm sure deep down you know that I loved them too. Almost as much as you loved shocking me." He gave another small smile, looking over at Elle. She was still perfect to him, and Peter was oblivious that Elle's charm was one of the ways she always got exactly what she wanted from men.

Elle laughed, a genuine laugh, when he had pointed out she said the saying wrong. “I was never big on clichés other then later alligator or hey you,” she admitted as she looked over at Peter with a smile.

When he mention Adam, she instantly made a face, “That’s one ex who I am glad is gone.” Elle shuddered slightly. She was very fond of Adam when she was younger. He had taught her a lot, especially sexually, but as she became an adult the fascination of him kind of tapered off.

"You know…” Elle reached over and touched his arm, she was always touchy type. “It’s nice to see I am not the only product from a dysfunctional family.” Elle would have said something more crude, but with Noah along, she had to watch her words.

As Peter assured her he wouldn’t tell, how he was apt to protect, and told her not to be upset, Elle just stared at him for a moment and then chuckled as she moved her hand off him, “I can take care of us, you know. I have been doing it for over two years and with Gabriel I know he would protect us as well, but to call him my guardian? Eh…” Elle made another face at the thought, she was too independent and their relationship was far from solid.

Elle laughed again as he confessed to liking her shocks. “I told you, you would learn to like it,” she smugly teased him. However, she grew serious for a moment and nodded her head as he looked at her, “I did enjoy them, I never denied that. You were going to be my new little toy, till you blurred the lines by kissing me and asking information about myself.” she sighed “I don’t think I have ever had a healthy relationship in my life.” Elle remarked in a somber tone, but then brighten up as Noah called out “Mama” as he pointed to the balloons, “Until he was born.” Elle added brightly as she stopped walking and bent down to talk to Noah.

“You want one buddy?” she asked sweetly as she took him out of the stroller “What color should we get?” she looked over at Peter and smiled again as if she wasn’t even serious seconds before. “Uncle Peter…” she said it as a joke at first to ruffle his feather “what color do you think we should get?”

His cheeks flush a bright red when he's called 'Uncle Peter' because that word before his name always gave his stomach that fluttering feeling. "I... uh. Well blue is my favorite color..." He said with a shrug and a small smirk sent Elle's way when he's asked.

"To be honest, I'm surprised Nathan and I turned out the way we did." He laughed a little, taking a balloon and tying it gently around the little boys wrist, but tight enough that it wouldn't get away from him. "There you go buddy." He said before turning back to Elle, "I'm really worried about Nathan, to be honest. I haven't seen him since Christmas and even back then on those days he didn't seem... well. Right, I guess you could say. But who would be with all the scrutiny he's put himself through."

He smiled a little when she mentioned their past again and that kiss, that electric kiss. "I wanted to get to know you. I wanted to know all about you... I don't know. Maybe I was crazy. Thinking I'd really get a healthy relationship out of someone trying so desperately to make me 'normal'. Can't blame a guy for trying, though. My fault for not sticking around..." But if he had stuck around, he would have protected Elle from Sylar, never let him get near her, and then Noah, well, he either wouldn't exist or...

Peter shook his head a little to bring himself back to reality. "I know you can protect yourself, Elle. You know me..." Everyone who knew Peter knew of his hero complex. "With the world the way it is, the more protection the better." He sighed some, "Do you still have your ability?" He asked, voice lowering considerably, getting a little closer to her so she'd be able to hear him, "My abilities keep evolving. Advancing..."

Elle watched as Peter blushed slightly at the label she’d given him, not that she cared if Noah did call him that for she knew Peter would be the closest thing to Uncle he would ever have.

When the balloon was in place and Noah giggled happily moving it around, Elle moved to sit him back down in the stroller as she listened to Peter. “I’d offer some advice, but” she shrugged her shoulders as she stood back up. “What can I say, I am not one who really need to gives advice out.” she laughed “From what I have known and when I met him, he seemed to be a very stubborn man.”

Elle’s face soften as he commented about them and she was kind of stun by his point of view of things. She smiled more, but then looked down at Noah. “You know… It really wouldn’t have been the healthiest of relationship.” she informed him as she looked over at him finally “I was constantly was putting my life on the line, by then Gabriel was Sylar and” she sighed “With all I did to him, our paths would have crossed sooner or later. Anyway, you look at it. I still more then likely would have ended up with the same fate.”

Elle smile sadden some when he admitted to his hero complex and shook her head “I am glad some things haven’t change,” she teased slightly and then her eyes widen to his admission of his powers advancing. “I am alive, Pete. So I still have them,” she informed him with a shrug of her shoulders for she always had her powers, it was the only thing in her life she was rely on always being there.”
