Monica was nervous about meeting her cousin-in-law, mostly because this Niki was from the future, and alternate future. Monica was still curious about this future, but she hadn't dared ask Peter about it. Asking about Sylar, had been bad enough.
Besides, there were other things worrying Monica now. Like where Micah was, and the fact that Hurricane Katrina was on it's way. Although she hadn't talked to anyone about it, Monica was going to do whatever it took to get out of LA and warn everyone in New Orleans about the danger that was to come. She wanted to save her mom, that would save her family.
Pushing those thoughts to the back of her head, she gave glanced at herself one last time in her mirror. Satisfied with what she saw she headed down to meet Niki.
"I'm here," Monica replied, coming down the stairs, smiling. Part of her wanted to hug the blonde, but the other part of her said that might not be a good idea. If hugs were meant to be had, they could be had later then.
