Summer

Though Mohinder didn't buy into the saying that there could be such a thing as love at first sight, the way that Simon Petrelli looked at Molly when they were first introduced made him reconsider and then immediately close his thoughts so Matt wouldn't worry. Mohinder gently pulled her long hair back from her shoulder so his hand could rest upon it, Molly in a bright red and yellow sundress,and said shoulder covered by a small yellow half jacket. They'd both been pleased to find it at Walmart on the drive up from Fort Lee to Maine, taking the long, scenic route even though Peter had offered them a chance to teleport.

Why teleport when they could have more time together and see the country? Molly needed a little break away from enclosed spaces and the forests along their mountain roads in New York and at the southern border of Canada was just the ticket.

Of course, there had been blighted areas, places where the virus had broken out, or worse, where communities had closed their doors and grown violent. They had just guided their black SUV around the problem areas and stuck to rural hotels on the interstate.

Now, standing in the foyer of what looked like another hotel and yet, knowing it was a family summer retreat, Mohinder could feel Molly yearning to go explore...and the eldest of Peter's nephews more than willing to guide her.

They were both the same age. They'd both been without playmates (what nearly twelve year old counts their brother as a playmate?) for a long while. Mrs. Petrelli, gracious despite her furtive glances at Matt, finally gave them the go head. "Show Molly to her room. Gently, Simon. She's not one of your trucks." Molly glanced back up at Mohinder and he nodded.

"I'll come find you shortly."

Yeah, that was surprisingly insightful, Matt supposed. But that didn't mean he was going to buy it, still. Maury left him and Matt hadn't followed in his footsteps, and Peter had been through all kinds of crap without having turned vindictive - even when he'd ultimately helped Adam release the Shanti virus, he was doing so thinking Adam was going to destroy it.

Sylar might have a whole lot of reasons for turning out the way he did but there were no excuses in the world for what he had done. Besides, Matt had been in his head. There was something fundamentally wrong there that went beyond normal instability.

So Matt scowled as he listened, but fell into cop mode easily enough to ask, "Yeah? Think you'll hit your tipping point?"

It was an opportunity to try to get something out of him. Not that that was too difficult in general, he evidently liked talking - no, it was about the substance.

Matt was surprised to hear him ask for a phone, though. And especially the intent behind it. Closing the trunk, he looked at Luke somewhat cautiously, but did toss him the phone. "Knock yourself out."
