After a beat of confused staring at Jake and his moody exclamation, Hiro decided that it was probably just to only take to the sane person in the room. "Something's happened with your Mom. Peter went to go get her and bring her back to the Hyperion, and he sent me here to get you...all," Hiro said, glancing between the members of the assembled party. "She's got quite a little menagerie here from the looks of it."
Not that he was too surprised. Niki had been pained terribly by the loss of her family. It would make sense that she would work to rebuild one here as well as she could. From the looks of it, she was doing pretty well.
