Lost Edge - Peter Petrelli [1]

The Fix

3rd Person

Peter is packing a travel bag. He grabs his things and puts them in the large bag. He stops and picks up a photo of him with Nathan, their arms around the other's shoulders and both smiling at the camera. Next to that photo, it was one of Sage and him smiling at her in her recent birthday.  He puts both of the  photos down and closes his travel bag. He hears someone open his front door. He picks up his bag and sees Nathan and Mohinder enter. Nathan closes the door. Meanwhile Sage is putting forcefield in front of the door.

"You aren't answering your cell phone. We've been looking everywhere for you."  Nathan says "What's he doing here?"

"Making up for past mistakes. I'd like to help you." Nathan notes the travel bag. "You're leaving town?"

"Yeah. Yeah, think I'll get away for a little while."

"What, be a danger to somebody else? There's gotta be another way, Peter. Let me help you."

"You can't."

"But maybe I can." Mohinder says butting in "How?" Peter says putting clothes down.  "We can find that answer together. If you allow me to test you, with more research —" Peter interrupts "Shh ... You can cure me? You're gonna fix all of this?"

"It'll take study and time—"

"Time — I don't have time to be your guinea pig. I have a plane to catch." Peter takes a step forward. Nathan takes a step to the side to block him. "I'm not letting you run away, Peter."

"So what? You gonna call the cops on me, Nathan? You gonna tell them your brother's going nuclear?"

"I could have my mentally ill brother detained for his own safety." Peter puts his bag down. He looks warily at Mohinder while putting a hand on Nathan's shoulder. Mohinder gets the hint and steps away from them. "I know you want to help me. You're my big brother and you fix everything. But you can't — you can't fix this one this time."

He says quietly "I can. Look, let's just sit down, and we can figure this out."

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay." Peter calmly steps past Nathan. Nathan turns his back for a moment on Peter, thinking that it'll be alright. Peter dashes for the front door. Nathan and Mohinder both run after Peter.

"Peter!" Peter opens the front door. The front door swings open. Nathan steps outside and faces the bodyguard standing out in the hallway. Nathan looks around for Peter and Sage. He doesn't see him anywhere. Mohinder steps out in the hallway just behind Nathan. The door closes behind him.

"Where'd he go?" He ask the bodyguard "Who?"

NATHAN: "You're supposed to watch the door."

The bodyguard shakes his head. He didn't see anyone.

Mohinder looks at the open window at the end of the hallway behind the bodyguard. He and Nathan are drawing their own conclusions about where Peter has gone. "My God, did he just ... ?" Mohinder looks at the open window "Get down to the airport, and make sure he doesn't get away this time." He says to the bodyguard "Yes, sir."

The bodyguard leaves. Nathan and Mohinder walk over to the open window. Nathan looks at Mohinder, then turns to follow the bodyguard. Mohinder looks at the open window. He then turns to look back at the apartment door.

There against the wall near the apartment door is Claude with his hand covering Peter's and Sage's mouth, keeping them silent. They were there all the time. Mohinder doesn't see them. He turns and walks away. Claude removes his hand from Peter's mouth and keeps the other on Sage's

The refrigerator door open and closes. "Thanks. Help yourself." Peter says sarcastically

[INT. (NEW YORK) PETER'S APARTMENT – DAY]

Claude has a bottle in his hand. He twists off the cap and flips the cap to Peter. "This your place?"

"Yeah."

"Guy with family connections like yours could do a lot better."

"Left the family business. I'm a nurse now."

"Nurse who's an empath, very cute."

" 'Empath', what's that mean?"

"Means you're a pain in my ass, mate."

Claude looks around Peter's apartment. "Yeah, but you followed me."

"Yeah, well, I'm not very much of a people person, but I'm certain I'm not gonna let you kill 'em all. You seem pretty sure about that pending apocalypse of yours."

"Yeah, not unless you help me control it."

" First, we need to told about who she-"

He points at sage with the bottle "Is" he continues, Sage rolls her eyes "Why would you care?" She ask "I don't, I'm just curious what you were doing here" he says to the girl  "Nathan, she was here because of Nathan."

"Isn't she the one up in the building, hugging your, so what called brother."

"How did-"

"We were up there with you, you just didnt see us or hear us." Sage looks at Peter with a dash of disgust. "Well, i just caused drama. Let's just go back to the other topic." He pauses and drinks "You don't know what you're asking, what you have to go through. You might want to reconsider dying. Hell of a lot easier."

"I can handle it."

"Yeah, that's what they all say."

"They"? How many — how many people have you taught before me?" Claude looks at Peter. "Come on, mate, I'll steal us a cab." Claude bounds toward the front door. He opens the door, then looks back at Peter. "You two lovers, coming or not?" Sage puts a shield on the door and Claude walks into it Peter snickers "We aren't stealing a cab." Sage says. "Oh she has powers! How great!" He says with a clap. "Now let me out." He says leaning against the shield. She makes it disappear and he falls. She walks towards the door and passes over him.

OPeter hurries and follows Claude out, in the other hand Sage just walks. The door closes behind him.
