Chaos erupted. Peter ducked out of the way of an oncoming spell and fired a few dozen stunning spells none verbally. He protected himself with a strong shielding charm before he tried to figure out how he'd get out of this death trap.

The door to elevator finally opened and Peter took the opportunity to jump out. When he did so Peter came face to face with Corban Yaxley.

"This is bad." Peter thought as he took off running with Yaxley on his tail. Peter dodged Yaxley's on coming spell and fired back a powerful jinx of his own. By now Peter's fight had gained attention from many other Death Eaters. Peter knew he had to create a distraction so, when he happened to find the containment cells for muggleborns he didn't hesitate to break them out. Peter used an accio charm to get all their wands and gave it to each of them.

Yaxley fired a cutting curse at him. Peter didn't have time to duck out of the way. The curse hit him in the back. Peter let out a gasp from pain. He saw Harry, Ron and Hermione take the opportunity to escape. Peter knew he had to get out of there as fast as he could, but not Yaxley cornered him.

"No where to run, little Black." He sneered taking a step toward Peter.

"Karen, activate web grenade." He yelled.

"Activating web grenade."

Webbing shot out of Peter's web cartridge and exploded in front of Yaxley. Peter used a powerful oblivate spell on anyone who had just witnessed what had happened and apprated to the place he knew he'd be safe.

Sirius and Regulus were in middle of a very heated discussion when a half bloodied Peter landed in front of them.

"Peter." Sirius said worried. He sprang to his feet and ran over to Peter who was on the verge of loosing consciousness.

"Hi Dad." Peter said weakly before the whole world went dark.

Sirius caught his son before he hit the floor.

"Regulus, give me a hand." Sirius yelled. Regulus ran over to his brother and helped him get Peter over the couch. Sirius removed Peter's blood soaked shirt revealing a large gash on Peter's back. Sirius took a step back stunned. He had seen his fair share of wounds, but when it came to healing spells and the right potions he was at a loss.

"Sirius." Regulus said concerned.

"That's a lot of blood." Sirius said in shock. Realizing that he needed to take charge Regulus whipped out his wand and began reciting a few healing charms. It took a while, but he managed to stop the bleeding. Regulus had Lucas get him the necessary potions and bandages. Peter had lost a lot of blood meaning he'd need some blood replenishing potions and dittany to prevent scarring.

When everything was done, Regulus turned to Sirius. Sirius was a mess. He had been against Peter leaving in the first place fearing that something bad would happen to his son. Regulus placed a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"He's going to be ok." He said reassuringly. Sirius didn't say anything. All he could do was sit there and wait until his son would regain consciousness.

Gideon Prewett had heard about Peter's near death experience from his nephew Percy. He looked down at the file in his hand knowing that what he had found would change the Black family's status in the wizarding world forever. He let out a sigh, took out his wand and apparated to the Black family hideout.

A loud crash awoke a half asleep Sirius. Sirius drew his wand at the would be intruder. When he saw who it was he quickly lowered it.

"Prewett." Sirius said.

Taking one look at Peter brought back painful memories for Gideon. He quickly regained his composure and cleared his throat.

"Sorry to intrude, it's just I felt like this couldn't wait." Gideon said placing the file down in front of Sirius and Regulus.

"Peter mentioned that he told you about that muggle organization that's hell bent on creating chaos. It seems like they had an inside man in the wizarding world this whole time."

The color instantly drained from Sirius' and Regulus' faces as they stared at the file in shock.

"He's dead, he's been dead for years." Sirius sputtered. Awful memories began to flood his mind. The memories of someone every child should trust, but in Sirius' case that was far from the truth. Flashes of red light and the echoing of his and Regulus' screaming filled his thoughts.

"There's reason to believe that he faked his death in nineteen seventy nine and used this muggle organization as a means of escape."

"How do you know all this, Prewett?" Regulus demanded.

"Because I asked him to look into it." A hoarse voice said. Everyone turned to see Peter who was now wide awake leaning against the doorpost for support.

"Hi dad." Peter said breaking the awkward silence.

"Care to explain to me what Prewett is talking about?" Sirius asked folding his arms. Sirius knew Peter had connections in the muggle world he just wasn't sure to what extent.

"Ever since Bakshi was my professor in school I began to wonder how Hydra knew so much about the wizarding world. There had to be some inside man. It wasn't until recently did I suspect that it was someone who hit a lot closer to home." Peter replied.

"So you're telling me my godforsaken father has been alive this entire time." Sirius said incredulity.

"From what Gideon has gathered and what I've seen then yes Orion Black is alive."

Just a few more chapters until Act II is complete.
