After my death
By Wyndhamfan (wyndhamfan@gmail.com)
Note:
Takes place right after Homecoming. It contains some speculation on my part of Peter's abilities, and the connection he shares with Nathan. Of course, it probably wouldn't be canon in the future, but I'm just itching to write this. Enjoy, and please tell me if it's okay since it's my first Heroes fanfic. Ta! PS: I write in British English, hence the 'u' in odd places. Ahem. :P

For a long time, Peter Petrelli couldn't say anything. All he could do was sit uncomfortably at the back of the police car and stare numbly at the back of the two police officers' heads. He could still feel the blood dripping from his blood-soaked hair and smell the coppery stench of his already-drying blood. The smell was so strong and nauseating that he wondered how the two men could tolerate it.
The cuffs clinked metallically as he tried to shift to a more comfortable position. The cop sitting in the passenger seat looked at him warily and then slowly turned his bored gaze back to the road.
I died.
The reality of it all hit him.
I died. My skull was broken, I'm sure of it.
Hell, I could feel parts of it knitting itself back together.
He shuddered as he remembered the terror he felt when he realised that there was nothing to stop his fall. He remembered his last memory before he hit the ground with a bone-shattering crunch � it was of Nathan, and he was at one of his many political dinners where he's trying to work up some juice to get people to throw money his way. Only Peter had never been to that party before. And then Nathan turned to look at him, as if he was there, and he wore a look of horror.
And he remembered saying to dream-Nathan: �I'm sorry.�
Then everything went black and there was an explosion of pain.
I died.
�Man, this is taking forever,� the cop driving the car muttered. He sniffed. Peter supposed the smell was finally getting to him.
�And on a night like this, too.� The other cop � he'll call him Cop 2 for now � gave him another wary look.
�Why the hell did you do it?� asked Cop 2, his voice not-so-friendly.
�Jerry-,� warned cop 1.
�Sliced open her head open and all that. For God's sakes, she's just a kid!� Jerry barked.
That woke Peter up.
