Los Angeles, Max Stross – Olympus Building

Max was pacing around before he got his next message and opened it up seeing the information his agents had sent him. Within minutes he was already up to the roof top and getting into a helicopter with two other Olympus agents and heading off towards Big Bear Lake.

He’d went from nothing to a license plate to the actual location of Elena Reese herself, and the thanks to his agents messing with the apartment footage the police wouldn’t be on her trail. All of this is starting to work out nicely. Within the next hour he picked up his phone to call the female agent in the van that had delivered him the information to deliver some instructions. Just as he was about to do this his phone began ringing and saw it was resources again.

“Hello? Yes I’m on my way to detain Reese right now..what? WHAT The FUCK?! How…damn it. Alright thank you see if you can do anything about this situation I’ll handle things on my end, we can’t mess this up.” Max hung up the phone and let out an exasperated sigh. I can’t believe this shit she used her fucking credit card, how reckless can you be, now we’re going to have to deal with regular law enforcement.

Max took his phone and called back the female agent who’d delivered the information of Elena’s whereabouts from the van. The other agents in the chopper didn’t even speak they could tell that Max was furious and none wanted to contribute to further angering him. “Listen don’t wait on me, this situation just got more fucked up. Apparently Reese used her credit card at a nearby store to purchase something, which was a major red flag. There’s a Police/FBI joint task force coming there going to be there before me, get and detain Reese at all costs. I’d prefer we avoid conflict with the law but that dosen’t seem to the case, you know the drill, kill anyone in your way badge or not and don’t leave any witnesses. Once you detain Reese, transport her away from the area and I’ll pick her up and arrange transportation to the prison quarters for further interrogation.” Max hung up and sighed everyone in the chopper know knew what was making him angry. I’m this close, nothing is going to stop me from figuring out what happened at that high school.

…………………

A couple police cruisers and armored vehicles were pulling up in the area near the cabin area but not as close as the Olympus agents. One man in the FBI who appeared to be the head of the operation emerged from his vehicle in full body armor, as did some other heavily armed S.W.A.T. and police all drawing their weapons. They all were armed and had fire power, but their mission was one where killing the target was worst then letting her escape. “Alright you heard what the owners said, that cabin all the way over there, that’s where the owners said Reese is. She paid all cash, alright you know the drill, split up we move in from all sides, you’ve seen what type of power she has but even if she puts up resistance, DO NOT I repeat DO NOT kill her, any shot better be to the leg if possible. Due to the nature of her power it’s unknown how effective tasers are so use them at your own risk, now go!” The agent barked the orders, and they moved out armed with guns, and tranquilizers.

Austin Texas, Diner – Peter Petrelli

Peter made his way inside at the same time as Noah and they both sat down at the booth as Angela looked at them frowning. “I’m assuming both of you have seen the news about our favorite cheerleader? Tragic, but then again she exposed us, Nathan was shot trying to tell people so it makes sense someone would be gunning for her as well regeneration or not.”

“Mom!” Peter was an emotional wreck from what he’d just witnessed on television and wasn’t in the mood to hear his mom talking about Claire in that way. He looked towards Noah hearing a few thoughts from his head and shaking his head. “And before you ask I’m not changing it! The past is the past, every-time we fix it gets worst. It’s my fault things are even the way they are, it was my future self that came back and shot Nathan, he’d still be alive..if it wasn’t for me messing with time, he’d of been the President.” Peter’s voice quited down as he said the last part. Nathan’s death had really impacted him, and with everything bad that happened as a result of their tampering with time he wasn’t in the mood.

“Alright well my son’s spoken, surprisingly intelligent of you Peter, I’d have expected you to have already dived into the past to drag her off the stage. I’ve got some other news, I’ve been having dreams things are going to get worst. Today is the day things are suppose to get worst, something really bad is going to happen today, and Claire’s assassination the spokesperson for all of us, I think that equates to something really bad.” She said as she sipped her tea before setting the cup down.

Claire… Peter was still conflicted about everything that happened, he’d constantly warned her about getting involved and she never listened. “That’s definitely something bad, where’s Parkman? “
“He won’t be able to attend today, but he’s sending all the information he has about the testing facilities but I had a dream about the facility in L.A, somehow it’s connected to what happened to the high school, I’ve got some of our old Company contacts working on getting jobs at these facilities so we can learn the ins and outs, we have to get a handle on this situation because after what happened today it’s going to get a-lot more intense.” Angela said as she reflected upon what she learned from her precognitive dreams. She was skeptical that what was left of their company could really stop everything and as much as she was sad about Claire’s death she’d predicted something bad would happen to her since the day she jumped off that ferris wheel.

Blaire Anderson, Los Angeles – California

Blaire changed the news back to the protest, listening as some reporter gave the mic to a person with a sign that says. Evo’s are Evil. “YO whoever did that shit was doing what the fuck needed to be done, these freaks can fly, shoot lasers, who knows what else there could be fuckers out there who can do something straight out of a fucking movie not to mention what happened at the fucking school this.” Blaire reached for the remote and turned the TV off. “Fucking idiot, they think the high school was bad, that was a fucking warm up.”

Blaire had a sinister grin on her face as she made her way out of the drug dealers home into the streets of the suburban neighborhood she was in. “Let’s go.” She looked around at the neighborhood it was obvious everyone here had to have money and watched as a police cruiser pulled into the neighborhood making it’s way quickly over to the front of the house she was in. She raised an eyebrow as two cops emerged from the car drawing a gun. “Ma’am do you live at this residence.”

Blaire looked at the officer raising an eyebrow then shrugging. “Aye Senor maybe I do maybe I don’t leave me the fuck alone stupid pig.” She smiled knowing that comment would upset the cop who then pointed his gun at her.
“Get on the fucking ground, we’re here to investigate Juan Cortez, a suspected major drug dealer in the LA area, if you’re here then you’re a suspect as well. You heard me get on the fucking ground.”
Blaire just shook his head.” I’m tired of listening to stupid people trying to tell me what to do all day, enough is enough, I’m going to protest.”

“Did you fucking hear me! GET on the fucking ground or I will force you down.” The cop barked orders at Blaire who looked at him only for his gun to being miniaturized. The cop stepped back in surprise staring at the Hispanic woman with confusion. “What the fuck did you do my weapon? Davis get the fuck out here this.”

Blaire took a deep breath and suddenly she was massively bigger. The cop stepped back in shock seeing the giant person now standing above him. She stepped on the cop and looked at the neighborhood below her. “Ooooh yeah I’m definitely gonna protest.” She knew her voice could be heard around the area and she looked off in the distance to downtown LA which was no longer a far walk for her meaning she wasn’t far from the protestors.

The other cop was requesting for back up in the car but Blaire just stepped on the vehicle crushing it. She laughed and began walking towards downtown intentionally stepping on some of the houses in the suburb as she began her walk. The sounds of the giant person as well as the damage to the surrounding houses caused people to begin rushing out of their houses seeing what was going on as she emerged from the neighborhood stepping into the streets squashing more cars. Ooooh this is like GTA but way more fucking fun!

She laughed at the mayhem below in the streets as she began walking through traffic, with people emerging from their cars to run off the streets to avoid being killed. The sound of sirens was heard blaring in the streets nearby her as many had called the police, and a news helicopter was seen nearing her as she stepped through the streets towards where the protestors were at. “Hey guys! My name’s Maria and I’m here to give my opinion about the fucking protest! All of you fuckers need to be exterminated for fucking with people with powers, cause we can fuck with you more.”

She spoke directing her voice towards the area of protesting where people seemed to be panicking while many abandoned their cars to flee the situation on foot, others tried to weave through traffic to get away from the area. The sound of the sirens grew louder to people on the ground level as she some police cruisers and armored vehicles were approaching. “Ugh Really.” What the fuck is that suppose to do? There gonna try to arrest me?

She kicked at the cars sending them flying while also damaging other cars in her way adding to the panic in the area before turning to the news helicopter grabbing it and tossing it into a store laughing as it exploded. “Whew! Now for the main attraction.” She quickly went over to the crowd of protestors that was starting to disperse and began violently stepping on them while laughing. She looked to her left to see four police helicopters approaching shooting but she barely felt the bullets. “Come on now really? That is annoying!” She smacked one of the helicopters away then turned to the other two that seemed to be turning around.

“Uh uh it’s too late for you fuckers to learn.” She leaned over to blow on the rest of the helicopters, the winds sending one crashing into a nearby office building. She chuckled breathing in accidentally inhaling one of the helicopters coughing as she punched away the other helicopter to the streets. She tripped on some cars falling back smashing into the building behind her bringing it down as she fell to the ground. “Fuck! “ Note to self fucking helicopters are not edible. This was fun though, nothing like stomping on some racists for good stress relief She wondered if the blades had cut her but she didn’t feel any serious pain and just got up brushing rubble off her. She looked around at the havoc she’d caused by attacking the protests, the sounds of both police and emergency personnel sirens blaring in the streets. Recognizing how much attention the situation was drawing she took off running not caring who was hurt as she took off from downtown. She quickly put some distance between her and downtown due to her size rapidly reversing to her regular size and calling Ryan. “Alright! I got everything. I’m on my way to the car I’m gonna need to drop this look cause it’s gonna be all over the news. “ She spoke with pride about her attack on the protestors and the streets of L.A.

Moving through the streets taking a short cut it wasn’t long before she was getting into Ryan’s car, leaningback in her chair. “Whew now that was fun, let’s go. .”

“See and you were worried I wasn’t going to be useful, I told you I’m bout my money.” Ryan started up the car and used his power focusing on Blaire to shift her appearance again as they pulled off.

Blaire looked at her new appearance an Arabian woman with long brown hair. “Oooh I like it, come on let’s go, oh and stop by the store I told Elena I’d get some food and water.”

Downtown Brooklyn, New York
It was an average morning for Jason. He woke up, Showered, got dressed, and had his tea while reading the daily news. The paper read Claire Bennet dead. Jason was in shock. How could someone get away with killing Claire??? The Bennets have always been well connected. He thought putting the paper down. Time to go run some blood tests. He thought looking at the time and grabbing his thermos.
Manhattan, New York
Jason was now working in one of the testing facilities. His job was to deliver gifted humans from hospitals to the facility. He couldn't believe he was turning in his own kind, but if he got a higher position he could manage to let some gifted humans slip under the radar like he was. When he arrived at work his partner was waiting at the door. Jason greeted him with a smile and they walked into the facility together.
"Are you ready to bag some freaks today Jason." his partner asked.
"Must you call them freaks Ben. They are humans just like us, just a little different." Jason said with a smirk.
"Yeah, you're right they are just like us... except we don't crush schools or cause sink holes to try and eliminate thousands of people."
"No, instead we create concentration camp, attempt to eradicate races, enslave those unlike us, and create destructive weapons to kill each other and our planet."
"Hmmm, well played Jay."
"Do you go home and look for reasons to try and sway my opinion about what we are doing her?"
"No, I go home and try to convince myself that you aren't one of them." Ben said giving Jason a nudge.
"Yeah right." Jason laughed.
"Hey, do you think you could finish my paper work from yesterday. I was going to take it home but I left it on accident. My wife has been freaking out since the assassination... She keeps saying they are going to come get me while you're away." Ben Laughs. "As if she assassinated that Bennet girl herself." Ben said breaking into a louder laugh.
"This is the third time this week Ben."
"I know. I know. I owe you. Just this last time please." Ben begged stepping in front of Jason and getting on his knees.
"Fine... Get up. Get up." Jason said pulling Ben to his feet.
"Thank you." Ben said smiling and handing Jason a silver clipboard and smiling.
"I'll do it in the truck where I can compare notes." Jason said walking over to the key box to sign out their vehicle key. Jason picked up the pen and filled out the paperwork for their truck. as he put the pen down he put his finger on the tip of the pen to drain some ink.
"Alright lets go." Jason said throwing the keys to Ben. "You're turn to drive." He said walking to the truck. When the two men entered the vehicle Jason grabbed his papers from the prier day. He scanned over the notes as Ben started the truck.
"I am going to fill these out in the back; okay?" Jason said laying on the bench in the back of the truck.
"Sure." Ben said. Jason put his finger on the pages of Ben's files. Jason's eyes turned pearly white as the ink flowed out his hand and filled in the blanks on the page. In two seconds Ben's papers looked just like Jason's. "Try not to throw me around back here. I AM doing your paperwork back here." Jason said sarcastically.
"Come on this is Manhattan. You cant go more than 15 miles an hour here." Ben replied. They both laughed as they left the lot.

Elena sat on the back porch of the cabin she spotted an opened carton of cigarettes, she rarely ever smoked unless she was really stressed out. She reached over for it putting the butt of the cigarette in her mouth and took the lighter near it and lit it, Elena leaned back in the lounge chair and sighed softly to herself. Elena ran a hand through her now blonde hair she was used to living in an apartment alone, being with Blaire the past four days made her feel safe and when she left to get some food and water which was over an hour ago made her nervous to even be alone.

Then Elena jumped when she heard some sticks cracking causing her to sit up right away seeing heavily armed men in SWAT gear approaching her. "Freeze get down on the ground, NOW!" Yelled one of the SWAT officers, Elena feeling her legs trembling she could see some of them held tazers as well as tranquilizer guns. Doing the only thing she could think of Elena didn't want to get captured she could see a large pine tree, Elena quickly sent a bolt of lightening towards the tree causing a large sound of thunder to fill the air, and the tree to topple over in front of the officers causing them to back up and stunned from the sudden attack.

Elena quickly pulled out a cheap disposable cellphone she got the day she fled and called Blaire. "Pick up! Pick up!" Elena said as she started to run as fast as she could, when there wasn't an answer Elena quickly left a message. "Blaire! They found me, please pick up!" Then there was a gunshot Elena cried out in pain as she was shot in the knee, causing Elena to trip over and dropping the phone on the ground.

"Got her ma'am." Another Olympus agent said, the agent then quickly pulled out a pair of specialized arm cuffs made out of durable rubber to prevent Elena from using her ability. Then the truck pulled up in front of the two of the agents the driver quickly got out opening the back of the truck. "Nice shot, lets get her in now before the cops catch up!" The female agent pulled the sniper rifle she used to shoot Elena in the leg and strapped it to her back and helped carry Elena who was kicking to break free.

The two agents shoved her inside the van and quickly drove off, driving over the cellphone crushing it the voice mail message barely managed to be sent to Blaire's phone.

The female agent quickly pulled out her phone and called Max. "We got you a present, we will meet you on the western end of the lake." The agent said looking over at Elena and smiled before turning back to the phone call. "What do you want us to do about her?" Elena glared she wasn't able to use her arms or hands she looked around and then started to try and make a way towards the door, the female agent quickly took out a tazer gun firing it at her causing Elena to cry out in pain once more sending her to the floor of the van. Normally she would have been able to take the shock and feel nothing at all, and continue moving but the gunshot wound was to much to handle with the pain.

A few minutes later the agents were at the meet up location waiting for Max to arrive, the agents then got out of the van putting in some C-4 explosive just to destroy the evidents. They tossed Elena down on the ground her eyes moving to look at the four agents. "I didn't do anything wrong!" Elena yelled, then one of the agents kicked her in the head to knock her out.

Noah Bennet:

Noah sat down next to Peter and across from Angela he glared at her for a second as she spoke about Claire the way she did, but he remained quiet about it. Then he turned towards Peter and knew he had read her mind. "You know I don't like it when you do that right?" Noah looked over at Peter, then he turned his attention towards Angela as she told them something bad will happen soon after today he leaned closer towards her.

"Well what do you suggest we do? I know we are getting our contacts into those testing places, but we cant control what has happened unless we send Peter back to even prevent Claire for exposing all of you. But we know he cant do it." Noah looked at Peter before turning to sit back in his seat. "And we obviously cant protect every single one, hell for all we know over half of the country went in for those screenings so the government might have those already detained or even killed. And what does this all have to do with things going on in LA?"

New Orleans, Louisiana

Another day and another trial completed, Louis felt exhausted with how much talking he had to do and all of the evidence he had needed to study for the trial. This one had him defending a man accused of abuse by his ex-wife and she planned to take the kids for full custody. After background checks and examining the evidence and testimonies, Louis was able prove to the jury that his client wasn't guilty of the accusation and that his ex-wife was a lying wife of the devil. He was now on his way to get food and as he walked by the patches of dirt with trees planted in them on the edge of the sidewalk, Louis made the branches grow a bit in a discreet way.

This was only a tiny fraction of his power and if he wasn't in an crowded urban area then he would have practiced his powers even more. The power to control all plants was one with a great many possibilities and one day he would be fine using it to its full potential. Louis stopped by a restaurant and ordered a curry and waited little time before he was served. After a nice lunch, he headed home and thought about how his next court case would go and if he would be able to get another victory. The bad side about being a defending lawyer in these cases meant that he was rather unpopular with the social justice warriors that hanged around his city.

"I prey that the lord calls on me to do his will soon before the sinners corrupted more of my home and country" he said to himself as he neared his home. Once there he went into his living room and sat on his chair to read his bible.

Manhattan, NYC
JJ

Guess how fast JJ was running? Fast! He found himself out of the building in seconds. He knew for a fact that cops were on the way once they knew the trajectory of the bullet he fired. The sirens rang through the streets as he runs as fast as a man could while holding a guitar case. The crowded sidewalks were not helping either. At least he was still in the clear.

Why don't I ever plan anything... Fuck it!

"Taxi!" JJ shouted as he waved down a taxi cab. Luckily one stopped. "Yes!" JJ exclaimed before getting inside and seeing that there was another passenger inside. Maybe he wasn't as lucky as he thought he was. "Hey." He said to the man seated beside him. "And I'm going wherever he's going, I just needed to get off my feet."
---------------------
Manhattan, NYC
Claire Bennet

Medical personnel surrounded Claire in shock. What else could they do? What could you do for a person who had their brain shredded by a 50 caliber round.

"Uh... time of death... what the hell?!" A medic covered his mouth as he watched Claire began to heal from her head wound. A braver female medic took a knee next to Claire and placed her hand on Claire's neck.

"She... she has a pulse!" The medic shouted in awe.

"So do we put her in an ambulance or what? She's gonna heal on her own right?"

"I'll take her." None other than Mohinder said. He seemed to have a group of men dressed like they were working for the Secret Service. Mohinder kneeled down and picked up Claire with ease. "Let's get her back to Odessa... when she wakes we have much to discuss." Mohinder looked off to the riot teams getting ready to diffuse the riot several meters away.

Manny Rodriguez
West Hollywood, California

---

A low guttural groan escaped the lips of a young man as he turned over in his bed, the sunlight invading his sleepy eyes. He quickly covered them and turned back over to look at the clock. It was 2:00 in the afternoon which prompted another groan from Manny Rodriguez.

"Oh fuck off are you serious?" Manny had just performed at a gig the night before and like usual he woke up late with a massive hangover. He surely loved to drink, but hated how he felt the next day. As usual he would whine and pout that he would never drink again but would do it the next night. After clasping his hands over his face for a few minutes, he finally forced himself out of bed and into the restroom where he proceeded to puke his guts out in the toilet. He normally took some pain pills before passing out, be he forgot to do so which he for sure felt the consequences. One of the reasons he was so pissed was because he was supposed to wake up a bit earlier to film a video. On top of being a makeup artist and a drag queen, he filmed makeup tutorials and posted them onto YouTube. He barely started his channel a few months ago and already had over 300,000 subscribers. Obviously people liked his work. He was known for making glam makeup and also SFX gore makeup. Not to mentioned when he did gigs around the countries, he made sure to tell them about his channel so they could see his work. His channel and drag got him makeup jobs on movie sets and other exciting things.

After Manny got himself together, he made sure to put some nourishment into his system. As he was eating some leftover pizza he had in the fridge, he multi-tasked with setting up his ring lights to film his video. He set up his makeup mirror and finally turned on the camera. The look he was going for was to transform himself into Lana Del Ray and then turn himself into a zombie version. After filming, he put his things away and edited his video to upload.

When Manny had turned on the television, immediately there was a breaking news about EVOs. His kind always made front line news since they were exposed. He put his hand over his mouth when the showed footage of none other than Claire Bennett getting shot in the head during a press conference. He shook his head, knowing what was soon to come. This was going to spark outrage and this is just what they didn't need. Hopefully the blonde girl would be alright since she could heal, although he didn't know how well since she was shot in the head.

When the news was over, he grabbed his things and headed outside to his car. He had to make it to Studio City for a movie set job he was hired for last week. A horror movie which he was excited to be apart of. He also had a drag gig that night at Rage so he hoped he would be able to make it. Rage was the biggest gay club in LA and they paid big bucks especially since he was so popular. Not long before he made it outside of his apartment, there were people rioting in the streets. This was exactly what he predicted. Manny made sure to jump out of the way before he got hit with glass bottles from these angry people, most of whom were either EVOs or people that didn't like us. Manny suddenly jumped in front of his car as someone was about to break his windows in.

"Unless you want your ass whooped, I suggest you not," Manny said sternly. Without hesitation, the man ran off and began busting up other people's cars. Just then he felt a rumble beneath the ground like a mini earthquake. An earthquake was the last thing they needed right now. However something caught his glance from far away that was really tall and moving. Manny couldn't quite catch a glimpse of it so he concentrated and turned on his ability. His eyes turned into a microscope and zoomed in on the moving figure until it seemed he was directly in front of it. It was a Hispanic looking woman stomping around causing trouble. An EVO obviously as no ordinary chick can make herself the size of a building. After she went out of view, Manny reset his eyesight and jumped into his car, driving off to the movie set. He was not about to stick around for this and his money was more important.

Peter Petrelli - Austin,Texas - The Diner

Peter returned Noah's glare with equal animosity this whole situation was turning out to be rather bad. "Yeah there's a-lot of things I don't like get over it." Peter remarked snidely to Noah's remark, he was tense about the entire situation with Claire.

"Now come on Noah, I may not be in the throes of combat myself, but I've never left you hanging. No matter the circumstances I do happen to have a plan. Any ideas you have of trying to mess with the past let it go, I promise you we don't need any more temporal hi-jinks, over the years they've always done more bad then harm. Los Angeles is the center of everything about to go down, that woman who was exposed using her power on television Elena Reese, you need to get her. We may not be able to save everyone ourselves, especially with the condition our new "company" is in." She said the last part with disappointment, apparently the group they were struggling to re-create wasn't all that good. "Ever since that camp when the Company was put together I vowed to never let this day come to pass, and as the last founding member I realize we've failed. Not just with our mission but with our original intent, it was impossible to keep the wraps on these abilities forever. Now our goal isn't to hide from the world, it's to go against it."

"Go against the world mom have you lost your mind!?" Peter barked cutting off Angela, he didn't want to hear her go on and on about the Company and what use to or could have been. He was focused on the present, in the dangerous Brave New World that had been created by Claire exposing her power to the world.

"No Peter, I've not lost my mind! Elena Reese is the key you need to retrieve her, she's the face we can use, to rally our people and bring them together. A wave of violence is coming, and we need to be able to not only swim in this blood, but be ready to spill some ourselves. There's no peaceful resolution in sight, a war is coming and we need to be ready not just for the battle, but more importantly for what comes after. My most recent dream involved Claire in pain, lots of dead bodies in L.A, and I saw Elena inside that testing facility. You recall the phrase one of us, one of them right Bennet? Well my son's your new partner, and this is your assignment head to that facility in a few hours, and spring out Reese, but not just her free as many of us as we can. No need for discretion, anyone in your way eliminate them, Peter your brother is dead, your father thankfully so as well, they were good men but you are great, despite everything you're the one that's survived. There's a reason for that, you have your mission now go I have other matters to attend. Go on boys, oh and Noah you don't mind covering the bill right? " Angela said the last part rhetorically as she got up from her table and slid out the booth heading outside as a car pulled up. She turned to them one more time before getting in the vehicle and riding off as Peter sighed.

A war? Nathan...I told you I'd be strong, but this..this is crazy. Peter knew things were going to get bad, but not as fast as they were. His phone buzzed and he reached in his pocket seeing a message from Matt telling him "it's on the laptop.". "You heard my mother didn't you? Sounds like we've got an assignment. Parkman just texted me he sent everything to my laptop, so how about we head to my place look it over, and then prison break." He knew he was oversimplifying how this would go, but he'd been having nightmares himself about the future so he knew his mother was right, there was no peaceful resolutions for their kind in the near future.

Max Stross, Big Bear Lake California - Meeting Point

A helicopter was seen landing near the Olympus agents and the unconscious special. Max emerged from the vehicle gun in one hand and fiji water in another. He had a big smile on his face as he saw Elena laying on the ground cuffed and immobile. "Ah it's always a wonderful site to see those who seek to tear apart the fabric of society at our mercy, all of you are getting promotions, and a big financial bonus. Props on not leaving a trail of dead police in your wake, although it makes for a less dramatic tale when the media gets wind of this." Max said as he stepped over to Elena and put his foot against her head before kicking her in the stomach.

Max then reached down and picked her up tossing her over his shoulders. "Alright that being said everyone on board, I'm assuming you followed Olympus protocol and set up explosives to get rid of any evidence. We need to evacuate this area, I'm heading to the testing facility in L.A taking her to the interrogation unit, I'll handle that myself, I need you all to return to head quarters when I left I was getting word of the protesting downtown getting pretty violent."

"Boss...it got worst, I think you might want to hear this come on." Max raised an eye as he made his way over to the helicopter instructing the rest of the Olympus agents to do the same. Within minutes they were boarded and leaving the area, as Max punched a wall listening to the field report he'd been given. "A special who could make herself bigger went and attacked the protests?!!!? Where the hell is she?!!!"

"Well I'm assuming if the ability is to grow larger, it includes..a reversal at least to return to normal size. So I'm guessing after the attack..

"Shut up! Obviously this individual can return to normal height I'm sure someone wold have noticed fucking Goliath walking around, that's not exactly a discreet ability. I want Olympus co-operating with every law enforcement agency to track this woman down, you said the LAPD's set up road blocks across the city, not just L.A we need to extend those blocks to all over the state of california, work with police in every county, Feds, anyone on this, she needs to be found, and detained. If you manage to get her, bring her down on site, if you have to kill her, kill her if you can avoid it do so, I'd love to interrogate her personally." Max groaned just when he thought he was one step closer to solving the situation in L.A, another act of violence happened. At least the people are opening their eyes to see these "people" for what they really are, monsters. A short while later Elena would find herself coming to in a dark room her arms and legs in rubber cuffs. The temperature of the room was extremely cold as well, not to mention she'd been injected with a drug that left her coherent but weary. A Bucket of ice cold water was dumped on her face by Max, who then proceeded to punch her in the jaw before chuckling." Wake up Reese, I sincerely hope you enjoyed that little nap, because I have a couple questions for you and if you value your life, and that if your family you're going to answer them. Starting with who were you working with to wipe out the high school?" Max inquired as he stepped back staring at her awaiting an answer.

Blaire Anderson, California - On The Move

Blaire took out her phone to look at the recent news developments about her attack on the city. It was all over the news, multiple channels. Claire's shooting, the protests, and her attack of said protests, she flicked her iPhone as she read another article. "Wow! I'm fucking famous, and my parents always thought Kevin was going to be the star."

"Yeah you sound happy, I've never wanted to be in the spot-light myself, but I wouldn't mind some celebrity money and oh shit!" He slammed on the gas seeing a police road block coming up ahead and the subsequent traffic as a result of it. "Fuck..fuck.."

"What the fuck!!."

"I know look at them, there."

"No fuck the police, Elena!" Blaire had just seen she had a missed call from Elena, and hearing the voice message caused some of the color to be drained from her face. While she was out robbing drug dealers, and murdering protesters her friend had been captured. "No No nO!!! I should have been there, they got her! We're almost to the lake, come on come on! If the cops got her maybe we can catch up to her, we have to get her!"

"Blaire what the fuck are you talking about? Do you not see all those fucking cops right there! I get it you wanna nab your friend, but you said the fucking Government wants her, she's all over the news, if I got to her I could have fixed up her image, but shit."

"Shit nothing! I thought we were partners!"

"I mean we are but." Before Ryan could protest Blaire leaned over and kissed him, then put a hand on his face as she stared into his eyes.

"But nothing, we're gonna stick together, and get rich. Together we can pull this off, but first we're gonna get my friend, I don't care if the fucking FBI has her, we're getting her. As for the fucking cops, hellooo I'm not even me right now and there not even looking for me duhh these road blocks aren't even for drugs there looking for someone who I don't look like!!"

Ryan sighed he seemed hesitant but he liked Blaire, and with the way the tide was turning in the world he wanted to stick with someone who had muscle. He pushed through the traffic, and they got through the road block without incident, Ryan flooring it as they headed up to the cabin at the lake. As they neared the area there ears were assaulted with the blaring of several police sirens. Flashes of blue could be seen everywhere, police from various nearby counties in vehicle's from cruisers to armored trucks were all over the area. Blaire looked around distraught there were officers everywhere and it didn't look like they were going to even get to the cabin. Blaire took out her phone to look up anything about Elena Reese being arrested but couldn't find anything. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!!!! Elena! I have to find her, Ryan I've got to get her!"

"Blaire think about what the fuck your saying! There everywhere, if anything they got her, and there not putting it on the fucking news. Blaire!" His yelling did nothing to stop Blaire from getting out of the car and closing the door. "Don't be stupid listen Bla-" Before he could speak suddenly everything around Blaire stopped moving, and she stepped back in shock seeing that everything around had come to a halt.

"What the hell... R..Ryan why aren't you moving, why isn't anyone else?" Blaire was suddenly overwhelmed with fear looking around not only was everything stopped, but also dead silent.

"I bet your wondering why nothing's moving, time manipulation is a pretty useful ability." Blaire whipped around to see a black man with a grotesque scar dressed in all black who appeared to be only person mobile.

"Who the fuck are you." Before she could continue speaking she felt an invisible force around her preventing her from moving or talking.

"Me...you'll probably meet me soon enough, I'm from the future, a future where we failed, our kind failed, we lost, I came back in time to make sure that didn't happen. Those files you were sent, that was me, you always said you needed to be more aggressive, put these people in their place, make them fear us to gain respect, I use to think you were a sociopath, I still do, but you weren't wrong. If I'd listened to you, maybe we wouldn't have wound up so bad. I came here to deliver a message, the blood tests are just the start, very soon there going to pass the EVO registration act, many of us are going to sit idly by and wait around in suspense for what happens next, not knowing that in our times of waiting we're slowly but furiously being detained and picked off. We spend so much time playing defense they we're too weak to attack. Elena's been taken to the testing center in Los Angeles, they have a detainment center ran by Max Stross, and his private militia Olympus Inc. In short this is what you need to do Get her, then get them."

Blaire suddenly felt released from said force, but before she could say anything the scarred man vanished as did his hold on time. Ryan was yelling for her to come back, and her heart was racing as she got back into the car. "What the fuck was wrong with you? We're you really about to try something with all these cops, even if."

"No...turn around, let's get the fuck outta here." She didn't have to speak twice as Ryan turned the car around to leave the lake as she shook her head trying to wrap her mind around her visitor from the future. She quickly decided not to inform Ryan as he already seemed stressed enough, besides she was going to get her friend. The last thing he'd said had stuck with her. Get her, then get them.

Glen McClure - Brooklyn, New York

"Yo what the fuck bro, do you want to fucking die, I will FUCKING KILL YOU!" Some man had a gun raised to Glen who was dressed business casual looking at the man pointing a weapon at him. On the table was some cocaine bagged and ready to be sold. Outside the room were two bodies riddled with bullets.

"I'm not the one that's going to be dying today, that's you and your friends who think you can put this shit out on the streets. Running guns, and selling coke? You're a one man shop for anarchy aren't you, you've got the product people want to get high off, and your selling the products they need to defend their territory to sell them. Not any more it's." Before he could speak the man pulled the trigger firing some bullets into Glen's chest causing him to stumble backwards into the wall.

"Fucking idiot, you burst in, her killing my fucking people and try to lecture me!!!" Suddenly the bullets popped out of his abdomen as he began to heal, and his nail was elongated and sharpened instantly piercing through the shooter's brain. His nail retracted becoming a regular finger nail as Glen licked the blood off. "Tastes like bastard."

Glen turned to the table kicking it over, then walked over to the dead man and grabbed his gun examining it. "I can add this to the collection. Oh and one more thing. "He took out a sticky note and put it on the wall. He looked it and made his way out, the only word on the note being "Justice."

Elena was barely conscious as she could hear a helicopter slowly touching down feeling the wind moving around her body as the propellers of the chopper moved through the air. She weakly moved her head seeing a figure jumping off and approaching the group of Olympus Agents who caught her, she would groan loudly as she felt Max's boot pressing against her head and then a sharp yelp in pain when he kicked her in the stomach. Then she felt her body being lifted up by Max and then tossed into the chopper, the group of agents smiled glad that they were all getting promotions for their capture of Reese and a major pay raise. "We did made sure that all the evidence was taken care of before we got out." The female agent said, looking to the three others who helped and smiled following Max into the chopper, one of the agents used her body to prop up their feet like she was a foot rest on a recliner.

Elena groaned slightly as she felt someone using their feet to rest them on her back, everywhere in her body was hurting, she could barely hear through the radio that had a report of someone else like her attacking the protesters then everything she knew her vision started to darken and then she was unconscious again.

Elena gasped loudly when she finally came to feeling ice cold water splashing over her body, she felt her body starting to shiver as she finally opened her eyes the room was almost completely dark and the temperature of the room was freezing. Slowly moving her limbs they both hit some slack and realized she was handcuffed to a chair then she cried in pain, her head whipping and hair to the side where Max had punched her she could feel a trickle of blood running down the side of her lip. "Wake up Reese, I sincerely hope you enjoyed that little nap, because I have a couple questions for you and if you value your life, and that if your family you're going to answer them. Starting with who were you working with to wipe out the high school?"

Elena slowly moved her head back her wet hair covering her face and quickly moved her head right to get it out of her face. "I didn't do anything wrong, and you cant do this i'm an American citizen!" Elena yelled loudly, the very few lights that were in the room started flickering trying to use her ability but wasn't able to. "I saw the news of the attack, and I lived close by to see what happened there were people in danger and I had to act or they would be dead!" Elena yelled again.

Noah Bennet

Noah raised his eyebrow to Peter with his little comeback and shook his head turning his attention to Angela they both were right messing with the past didn't help at all this all could have also been a result with someone else with the ability to manipulate time. "Well i'm listening to what your idea is." Noah said, he listened to her he didn't know why this girl was so important to get out of the testing facility he knew that the Company would have to change its mandate now since Claire exposed everyone of their kind to the world. But to go against the world he wasn't sure it would be a very good idea.

"So you want us to go against the government, and spring Reese out of that place as well as freeing those who are held prisoner in there? You know that they will be very angry and will lash out right?" Noah said though he knew that it was going to happen either way and shook his head. Then Angela stood up he always ended up having to pay for her. "You know this is the forty-fifth time you have to pay me right?" Noah said as Angela left the diner, turning to look at Peter as he got a text from Matt he stood up. "We will take my car, not that I don't trust you with your ability i'm not interested in being caught before we plan this little prison break." Noah said paying the bill and headed out towards his car.

Max Stross, Los Angeles - Olympus Testing Facility, Interrogation Room

No matter what I must get my answers, the safety of the city, of the world is at stake. Max was determined to get information about what he wanted at all costs no matter what he had to do to Elena. "An American citizen" Max scoffed as he took a few steps back from his prisoner to chuckle before glaring. Although he'd found her comment humorous it was clear he wasn't in a joking mood.

"As far as I'm concerned your a monster, and the law dosen't apply to people like you. Besides, the law comes to me to deal with sticky situations where rules and regulations make it so the most effective option is too controversial so they send it to me. "He looked up briefly at the lights flickering then back at Elena with a disapproving scowl. "Don't try to use your parlor tricks in here, this room is set up to deal with your ability trust me. But here's the thing about the bullshit you just said."

Max walked over to Elena spitting in between her eyes then smacking her in face harder then before. "You things don't care about regular people, your only concern is wiping us out and taking over. Well let me give you some news bitch it's not happening. "Now then who were you working with. My agents told me you didn't come to the cabin alone, there was someone else with you. And I'm not a gambling man but I'm betting it's another one of you fucking creatures. Who is that person, I want their name first and last, your relation to them, any information you have on them. Answer me or else." Max reached in his pocket for a knife pressing it against her arm and starting to cut to dry blood then stopped. "The things I can do to you, the things I want to do to you, the things I WILL do to you if you don't talk well let's just say it's in your best interest to give me the information I want or I will make you talk either way I'm going to get what I want, so why don't you start talking unless you'd like me to beat you, a little water boarding maybe, cut off some toes,fingers, some other appendages all of those sound like appealing ways to make you speak don't you agree? Oh and one more piece of information tell me does this name ring a bell, Building 26?" Max smirked looking into her face to see her expression as he mentioned the name of headquarters of the former anti evolved human operation in America.

Peter Petrelli, Austin Texas - With Noah

Peter followed Noah to his car hopping in the passenger seat and putting on his seat belt. "I hope you mean we're riding to your place to check the computer and not to LA. I know I'm not Hiro, but I'm pretty sure I can teleport us to L.A. without accidentally going back to the ice age if that's what your worried about." Peter sighed he knew Noah was right about one thing, after seeing Becky get caught he wasn't going in that testing facility guns blazing regardless of his powers.

The world was aware of what they were capable of, and there was no telling what the true extent of their defense systems in place well hopefully Matt could change that. "My mother said it's us against them, but how do you think this is gonna play out really? I mean she's right eventually it's gonna come to that, but against the world? Even if by some miracle everyone with abilities started working together, we might literally be facing armies of trained soldiers, not to mention the extent of some people's powers might be glowing in the dark not exactly an A1 counter to soldiers in body armor with assault rifles." Peter wasn't trying to resort to negativity but he was constantly plagued with nightmarish visions of the future in his sleep just like his mother so at this point optimism seemed like a foreign concept. No matter what he wasn't going to back down from the plan, he wasn't going to sit idly by and let people get put away for something they couldn't control. He just wanted to talk about something, anything to get his mind off the fact that Claire was gone. When he'd heard the news he felt like he was going to explode...again and looking up to see they were at Noah's place didn't do much to get his mind off his slain niece.

Glen McClure - New York, Apartment

Glen stepped into his apartment, closing and locking the door behind him. He went to his fridge to grab a can of sprite before plopping down on his couch and reaching for the remote. Pressing the power button he quickly flipped through some channels before arriving at the news.

"Another brutal massacre in Brooklyn has taken place, police are present on the scene, apparently copious amounts of narcotics and weapons have been confiscated. This act of violence is being linked to the vigilantism as NYPD unearthed another message left by the anonymous Justice. Many are conflicted about this mysterious individual who appears to be leaving a pile of bodies in his wake some claiming this individual whoever they are is beneficial to the community, while others have a much harsher negative opinion. Captain Sterling tell us your opinion on." Glen changed the channel to another station he didn't care what anyone thought about his extracurricular activities.

"Those corrupt bastards want me off the streets just because I'm fucking with their money. They should be ashamed to call themselves law enforcement, the only thing there enforcing is money into their bank accounts." Glen was furious although he considered himself a moral man he had little respect for most law enforcement agents. He believed in the theory that power corrupted most in that business, and those who weren't corrupted where either addled with addictions or emotional instability or ineffective at best. However the site that behold his eyes as he changed the channel didn't do much for his mood either. He was watching a news broad-cast about the protests in L.A he was already aware about Claire's death thanks to the news app on his phone, but the hispanic special who attacked downtown well that was new to him.

"You fucking idiot, you think going to kill them is going to make things better?! Your no better then Claire!"He sighed the events of the day starting to stress him out not to mention he was sure had homework in both physics and philosophy. He got up from the couch sprite in hand going over to the fridge and opening it up to grab a cold half full bottle of Gin that he had. Grabbing a clean cup from the dish water he poured more then a reasonable amount of liqour in the drink, before topping it off with the rest of his sprite and taking a long swig. "Ahhh...now that's what I needed." Glen picked up the bottle, drinking straight out of it before putting it away and relaxing as the familiar burning sensation of alcohol coursed through him. Closing the fridge, and grabbing his mixed drink he made his way over to the couch still staring at the screen. I can't just stop with criminals, Captain Sterling and cops like him, people who want to use their powers to hurt others I have to go after them too, everyone has to face Justice.

Jason Koravil - New York City

Jason was sitting down at a table staring at the television in the corner. Today's events had been interesting from Claire Bennet's assassination to the evolved human who attacked downtown Los Angeles. "Maybe I picked the wrong place to live."

Jason had made a mental note to add the person who killed the protesters in L.A to the list of Evo's he wanted to recruit to the Enterprise. "So what do you make of this Jason?" The other man sitting at the table asked of Jason, as a woman came in setting two glasses down in-front of the two men.

"Well things are certainly getting interesting aren't they Mr. Mayor hmm? That's why I've come here, the drug trade in New York well I need it. The NYPD has been co-operating, but here's a few major players I need picked off immediately. Mind you I don't want their whole operations taken down, just cut off the head, and let the extra Hydra's grow into my own operation. It's all in that folder in-front of you." Jason smiled at the mayor as he motioned to the folder on the desk in-front of him as he took another sip of his drink. The past few days had been going splendid for him thanks to his power, he managed to stay ahead of those who wished to do him harm.

He'd managed to finally meet the mayor, and of course used his power to influence him. It was one thing to be able to gain influence in New York's police force, but the mayor himself that was an improvement. Of course telepathy made things a-lot easier, but sadly thanks to modern technology things weren't completely easy. The more powerful the person was, the harder it was to meet them without arousing too much suspicion after all he was just a college sophomore who happened to be an up-coming producer what business did he have conversing with politicians, and police? Those were the type of questions that plagued his mind so he was careful with every step he took to make sure he wasn't implicated and caught on photo or footage with people he didn't need to be spotted with. Most importantly he'd managed to falsify the results of his blood test and get human put on his I.D. He looked at the Mayor reading through his surface thoughts as he went through the files.

"Alright I'll put a word in to Captain Sterling, might as well throw him and the force a couple wins, plus it makes everything look good. You understand our arrangement, feel free to have drugs flowing through the city with your operation but keep it in the shadows. On the surface it's going to look like the NYPD is shutting down the drug trade in the city, but behind closed doors everything from A to Z can hit the streets as long as we're making profits and still locking up a number of dealers who don't want to work with you."

"Of course." Jason was using his power to of course manipulate the mayor, the captain and some others but it didn't hurt to not completely rely on his power. "All this talk of drugs almost makes me forget my music career is popping off, managed to sell two more beats to some popular artists, in-fact there asking me for more almost as if they we're mind controlled." Jason stopped to laugh at what he'd just said before the woman from earlier came back with two plates and he had a whiff of the delicious food the mayor's chef had prepared for them. "Nothing like a nice steak, and some steamed vegetables after a long day of selling drugs and beats." Jason grabbed his fork and started to dig in, despite the state of the country for people like him he was living lavish.

Los Angeles
Michael Henderson

"You gotta be kidding me! You're transferring me now? Like right now?" Michael said as he spoke to his supervisor in a brightly lit office within the hospital. "There's people coming in left and right with the riot out there! You want me to pack my stuff up and move to another hospital. Do you want me to die?" Michael argued. He couldn't believe this. At one moment he had been working, trying his best to aid the massive amount patients coming in from the violence downtown, and then he's called into his supervisor's office to be transferred to a new facility.

"Dr. Henderson, this isn't my call. There's a..." The seated man was cut off.

"Then why are you making it. Can't this wait till this is over with?" Michael pointed out the window. "These people need me."

"No! What they need is doctors and they have plenty here with or without you. Where you're needed is at facility we have partnered up with. You know one of those blood testing facilities. They need you there to treat those that have been wounded."

Now Michael was confused. Why did a blood testing facility have wounded patients.

"That doesn't make any sense. Why are people that should be here over there?"

"I don't know Henderson... I just need you to go. If you don't want to then you can find the door. There are people who need you right? Well they're over there. I'm not asking you to transfer. It's been actioned. You either do it or lose your job."

Michael scowled at the man. Money didn't matter to Michael, but helping others did. He sighed and exited the office. He took off his white coat and headed for the exit.

The drive could have been short, but traffic kept the young doctor at bay for a while. It gave him time to blow off steam and mutter to himself, but it didn't change how he felt. Once Michael parked in the parking lot he sighed ready to do what he'd always been driven to do: help others.

Michael knew his wife wouldn't like him working at a place like this, but he was sure he wouldn't be administering the tests.

As he entered the facility he was required to show his identification. He was not only let in, but escorted into a room where a patient laid with another doctor already treating her.

"You'll be responsible for making sure these individuals are in in good health. That's it. Then you hit the green button on wall. The red button next to it is if the patient gets out of hand." The escort said in his black suit looking as if he walked off the set of Men in Black.

"Out of hand?" Michael asked.

"They have abilities and some of them can't control them. Others just want to hurt you. Now hurry up to room 127. It's four doors down."

"I hear ya." Michael said with zero enthusiasm. He headed to a room with man strapped down to a bed. The man appeared to be on some kind of meds with the way his pupils dilated. The rest of the man looked pummeled.

"There must be no mercy out there..." Michael said solemnly. "I have to do what I can." Michael was determined to help, even if this place was shady.

------------------

Big Bear Lake, California
Jennifer Henderson

Jennifer could not be seen as she was one with the surroundings of what looked like a crime scene at the lodge she knew Elena was staying in.

Damn it! Noah told me to keep watch and... fuck! I have to tell him what happened.

Jennifer didn't need to be in the area much longer as she let herself travel back to her home in Los Angeles. She had remained around the lodge long enough to know and hypothesize the gist of what happened there with Elena and Blaire. She figured someone got to them before the police. The girls hadn't taken Elena's car, so them being on the run was unlikely, especially in those parts. It was perfect for escaping with the amount of trees and shrubbery, using the car would have been a bit more ideal than risking your life in the woods.

Maybe Noah knows more... he always does... or always did at least.

Once Jennifer appeared in the flesh at her home, she grabbed her cellphone. She didn't even bother to get dressed. She attempted to call Noah with her news.

It wasn't too long after his latest trial that Louis had received word of a possible client who wanted his help in a possible case, but the trial would be in New York and he would have to get a flight there soon. He thought it over, but decided that the work seemed very promising and he would catch the next plane to New York. He quickly packed up what he needed and headed to the airport. The ride there got Louis thinking about what the city would be like and from the pictures he had seen it would be massive in size and very busy. He also was happy that he would be able to visit the large cathedral in downtown and go there to pray.

The flight to New York was long and it felt weird being in the air away from the ground. He couldn't feel the plants beneath his feet and that was a strange feeling. He was glad to be off of the flight when it touched down at JFK airport, and he quickly went to pick up his luggage. The place was busy and upon exiting the airport he was greeted by the sight of countless people walking too and from the area. So this was New York city, it was so much different from New Orleans and he felt almost overwhelmed.

"By God this place is so full of people" he said to himself as he began to make his way to his hotel several blocks away from Times Square. He took in the sights and was amazed at all of the tall buildings, what a city he thought to himself. He soon got to his hotel and put his stuff in his room. After that Louis decided to go out and try to find the St. Patrick's Cathedral. He was exited to see the large church and look upon its great beauty.

JJ
Central Park, New York City

JJ now found himself on a park bench in Central Park. He was glad the other passenger got off where he did. The park was a good enough place to make his phone call. There was a lot of foot traffic, but who would be paying attention to some random guy on the phone in this city? He grabbed his cheap disposable phone from his pocket and dialed a number. The phone rang for a moment before someone answered. JJ needed to know if his benefactor had seen the news yet.

"Listen, it's always good work when I'm on the job... I used a 50 like you said to. It destroyed her dome like it was a watermelon.... Yeah I'm in the clear for now. I wasn't seen and I'm far away from the site... Yeah, good. Now what about my paycheck?" JJ was silent for a moment as he was given his instructions. "Too easy. And do you got any other jobs you need handled? Alright if you say so..." JJ hung up the phone before pulling out a pack of cigarettes to smoke. As he lit his first cigarette, he took in the scenery of the park. He wished he was done for the day, but he had two more hits to carry out this week. Money was sweet, but enjoying it was better. As he smoked, he went over the targets in his head.

Male, Caucasian, 5'11, approximately 200 pounds, dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, Is proficient with firearms... has abilities. Bulletproof... That still makes me smirk... can generate weapon's with his limbs and other body parts, can heal his injuries extremely fast. Name unknown. Locations unknown. His prey happen to be crooks. Obsessed with justice... He'll take longer since I don't know where he'll be or how to hit him.

JJ tossed his cigarrette to the ground before lighting another. Second target... 4 stories tall, the base is 124 square feet. Location, 1783 Mills Avenue, Queens, New York City. Attendance, 65 in counting. Occupied from 0600 hours to about 1700 hours, Monday through Friday on a usual week. Structures exterior walls are brick. Weapons, unknown, security level moderate during opening hours. Population is dense with evolved humans Name of target... Tracy Strauss School for the Gifted. Optional target... Tracy Strauss... Now this one I can do pretty soon. I just need to pick up tools and get to it.

JJ held a cold look in his face as he grabbed his third cigarrette.

Elena looked up at Max and glared at him as he scoffed at her, seeing him taking a few steps back Elena tried to move her arms through the rubber cuffs, but was unable to. "As far as I'm concerned your a monster, and the law doesn't apply to people like you. Besides, the law comes to me to deal with sticky situations where rules and regulations make it so the most effective option is too controversial so they send it to me." Elena knew that this man was very dangerous and he would do anything to get whatever info that she had on the attack on the high school, though she was just as blind as he was and didn't know anything about it.

Elena watched as Max took a few steps forward towards her again, she flinched and closed her eyes as she felt something warm and fowl hit her in between her eyes. Then she let out a very loud groan in pain as Max punched her harder this time leaving a nasty bruise over her face. "You think I wanted this ability?" Elena asked slowly turning her head staring into Max's eyes then she spat a bit of blood onto the floor. "You people are no better then the damn Nazi's back in World War II, you want to get rid of us and look what happened to them, you are the monster here!" Elena snapped.

She watched as Max took out a knife from his back pocket, she closed her eyes tightly letting out a very loud cry in pain as Max slowly started to draw blood from her arm. Quickly using what little bit of her ability she could use a small surge of electricity left her arm and onto the knife Max was holding. It wasn't powerful enough to hurt him, just to make his whole arm go numb and drop his knife, Elena didn't make eye contact with Max knowing that he would actually do that just to get the info out of her and she started to think of Blaire the only friend she could trust, she wasn't going to sell out her only friend to this monster. "Yeah I can tell, you who helped me it was my evil twin she has the ability to summon pink fluffy unicorns and make them dance." Elena said sarcastically, knowing that he would hurt her even further then she froze for a second when he brought up Building 26 though she didn't know much it was in the files that Blaire had with her. "Is it some sort of theme park? Cuz I've never heard of it." Elena said spitting right into Max's right eye.

Noah Bennet

Noah climbed into his car and started up the engine he started to drive down the street back towards his place, he looked over at Peter. "Yes we are driving back to my place see what Matt has dug up." Noah said stopping at a stop light and turned on the radio hearing the news of what was going on in LA again another attack but on protesters, he turned up the volume as the report went on. Getting the gist of what has been going on Noah turned it off and continued to drive.

"All I know its going to get pretty bloody on both sides, and we have to try and make sure it doesn't get violent that the whole world turns to nothing." Noah said looking over at Peter as they finally got to his house and stopped the car. "Whats your take on the whole Reese thing, what do you think her role is in this thing that your mom is dreaming about?" Noah asked as he opened op the door and made his way towards his computer.

Noah heard his phone going off and reached into his pocket he saw the caller ID looking over at Peter. "Get the info from the computer, i'll be right back." Noah said leaving the room and quickly answered. "Whats up Jen, what do you have?" Noah asked always wanting to get to the point quickly.

Max Stross, Los Angeles - Olympus Testing Facility, Interrogation Room

"Aha!" Max could only stare at Elena pure hatred in his eyes as she spit between his face. Between that and the use of her power on him he was infuriated more then he thought he could ever be. He stretched his neck for a little bit before slapping his arm with his other hand making a frown on his face. "That sensation was very strange, congratulations on you still being able to use your ability in these circumstances, I will admit you are powerful it seems." Max spoke matter of factly about her powers as he took a step back. He started to clap his hands before brushing the spit from between his eyes and rubbing it off on his pants leg.

"Anyway judging by the reaction on your face when I mentioned Building 26 you definitely know something about it, my men were working with a CIA operative to look into someone who managed to acquire information about it or rather was seeking information about it online. Being a sensitive topic, the united states government was rather interested in who this individual was that was looking into it, however the agent they sent as well as my whole team was murdered and there's no trace of them, and while I'm not exactly the most confident in our government, I know for a fact what my team is capable of, meaning a very powerful individual would be needed to dispatch that entire team." Max said and while he was speaking of his co-workers he did not even seem to have any emotion despite seeming concerned about looking into their disappearance.

"Anyway here's the thing you seem to think of me as an evil man, comparing to the Nazi party? It's quite well how can I say this harsh, you have the wrong picture painted of me. I'm no Hitler, and my men are no Nazi's, the Nazi's were an evil hateful group that sought to exterminate people based off their ethnicity. Granted they are a weak people, any people that let one group hunt and exterminate them is weak. But regardless Hitler was evil, I am good. What I'm doing is for the benefit of the world, people may not see it now, but generations from now when the human race is still going on, the earth is still around, and you genetic scum are nothing but a tragic memory I will be a hero. My name will be honored, I will be a legend in history, the man who put his all into saving the world from it's greatest threat, you people. You think these powers can exist without disrupting society, there are people who can fly, go anywhere wherever, control other people, manipulate the world around them be it the elements or the weather. You people have to die for the rest of us to live. But really Elena please just tell me who was helping you and when it's all said and done and you get sentenced to life, I'll have one of my people slip into the cell and grant you a quick painless demise, you have my word." Max smiled at Elena before kicking her in the face then punching her in the mouth then back handing her. "Tell me this are you afraid of death? Because let me inform you when your dealing with me, death isn't something you fear. When you have me as your enemy what you should fear the most is life, death is the end, it's a release, it's freedom, your a prisoner, there is no releasing you, and there is no freedom, I will make you every minute you are alive worst then any depiction of Hell in any religion."

"Since you want to be difficult you force me to do this? Tell me this how do you feel about drugs? Personally I'm a proponent of cannabis legalization myself, I have a-lot of powerful friends who are investing money in it including mine, I'm going to be a wealthy day when the U.S finally legalizes it even though I hate the stuff myself. Tried it after alcohol, that ended my drug career there, and considering my mom was an addict and died from driving drunk that's probably the best. Anyway there's one drug in particular I always wanted to try LSD? Pretty popular these days, of course you do have to be in a good mood to try it after all a bad trip is one of the most horrific things that can happen depending on the dosage and what's going on Anyway here's what I'm trying to say." Max reached into his pocket taking out a syringe and jammed the syringe into Elena's arm. "That right there is liquid LSD, a pretty huge fucking dose. The best thing about injection is the come up into 12 hours of psychdelic madness is far quicker instead of 2 hours a mere 20-30 minutes and you'll begin your detachment from reality. This has the potential to be the greatest experience of your life if you have a good trip or one of the worst if the opposite occurs, now considering I'm the one overseeing your trip how do you think yours will be? Hmmm...I will break you physically, and mentally, I will make you suffer the literally most horrific experience of your life, you should feel a burst of energy unlike ever before, goose bumps, nausea, everything's louder brighter, allow me to start your trip off right perhaps that'll get you talking. Oh and one last thing, there is a way to escape this trip. Anxiety medication such as xanax can end the trip suddenly, I happen to have another syringe on me full of it. Not only will it end your descent into psychosis it'll also let you sleep. But alas let's begin how about some motivation to tell me about your friend and Building 26. " Max looked at her before walking a few steps away from her and taking out a remote pressing a button. On the ceiling above Blaire suddenly a compartment opened up and some sort of bowl was lowered above Elena's head, before turning over and spilling boiling hot water in her lap as Max laughed.

Peter Petrelli, Austin Texas - Noah Bennet's apartment

Peter went over to the computer to pull up what information Matt had sent about the facility and it's defense systems. " I don't know anything about this Reese girl besides the fact that her power is Elle's power, which means I have an automatic bias against her." Peter shuddered thinking about Elle Bishop, although he'd manipulated her and for a time got her to think they might have some chance of romantic involvement it was all a ploy to escape the Company with Adam.

"I just know that what me and my mom having been dreaming about is good, not exactly the type of subject you bring up at the diner table or any table really." Peter looked at Noah as he went to take a call as he went to start looking through the information quickly bringing up Matt's information. At first he was presented with a lay-out of the floors, but there was information about their various defense systems, where guards were stationed, as well as some secret prison area that seemed to be run by some private militia called Olympus incorporated which the facility had hired. "Olympus Inc? These guys already sound like bad news and I don't even know if there secretly running a paper company." Peter sighed as he continued to shift through the information Olympus inc. now the main priority on his mind as he wanted to look into them and why they were hired.

Jennifer Henderson
Henderson Household, Los Angeles

"Thank god you picked up. Listen..." Jennifer paused for a second as she didn't know how to explain things at first. "The girls are gone. That lodge they were staying at was full of law enforcement when I got there. Where they were staying looked like it was destroyed. The thing I really don't know is who got to them before the police did. I know you're away, so if you need me to do something, I'm in." Jennifer said this confidently. For so long she had hid herself, her true self. Jennifer was lovely and willing to dive into action, and as much as she loved her new stable life with her loving husband, she felt that she needed to do something new. In this case, something old.

Michael Henderson
Olympus Testing Facility; Medical Wing

This is third room I've been assigned to go into and I gotta say I'm not looking forward to seeing what's next. First patient looked like he was beaten to an inch of his life, and the second had lacerations coveringredients her body...

Michael found this all to be strange. He'd enter a room, see a patient drugged, medical record on a table, and a description of their wounds. Michael couldn't imagine this being from the riot. As he made his way to the next room he overheard something off in a room he was passing.

"So are you going talk when you back to the interrogation room? Oh sorry you can't talk can you? I told Stross that we should lower the dosage he administers. For one it would leave you in pain to think about what you did, and then maybe I could get you talking. You know like a good cop/bad cop sort of scenario... But I guess I'll treat you so you can go in for another round. Think of your with me as the time a boxer had between each round. Except in this match, you can't win. Forfeit or keep getting hit till you die..."

Michael stood by the door and was disturbed by what he heard from another physician working here. He balled his fist and entered the room seeing a smaller older man standing over a barely conscious female. His eyes widened in shock at her injuries. She was bruised, soaking wet and naked. The older physician snapped his hand away from between the female's legs.

"What the hell!" Michael shouted as he rushed over and pushed the older man down. What's going on here?!"

The older man picked himself off the ground with rage in his eyes.

"What the hell are you doing?! This isn't your assigned room. Get out... now!" The man demanded. The two locked eyes, neither of them thinking of moving from their position. "I said GET OUT!" The man screamed before moving over to the red button brief to Michael as a way to call in security personnel. A loud buzz was heard which made Michael take step back.

"You can't do this." Michael didn't know what was going to happen next, but it wasn't good. What would become of him?

"I can do whatever the hell I want. I'm the leading... huh?" The man was grabbed by the woman on the bed before using what little power she had to make the man's head combust into flames. Michael's eyes widened and backed up before he was pulled away. Security was inside already.

"Sedate her!" Michael heard before he found himself in the hallway staring at the shut door once again. Now there was a question. Was it this place or just that man that was so horrible?

San Francisco California

Roberto took in a bit of the sights that the cit of San Francisco had to offer, but he kept on task with his assignment. His latest employer wanted him to get rid of a political rival who was staying in the American city for the weekend and the place was sure to be heavily guarded. This would mean that Roberto would have to think things out smartly if he wanted to take out his target. He kept himself out of sight of from the bodyguard and waited until dark. Equipped with his rope he slowly made his way to the compound where his target was staying.

Using his powers he made the rope levitate and silently slither towards one of the bodyguards. It was too dark for the man to see what hit him and the rope almost instantly wrapped around his neck and began to choke him. It was like unsuspecting pray being caught by a python and the rope tightened around his neck blocking his airways. Roberto then made the rope yank the man away from the area and pull him into the bushes.

"Ah not very well placed these guards are" he said to himself as the rope strangled the man to death. Roberto released the dead man from the rope and he quickly moved closer to the place. He sent out three ropes to take out three other guards and now had more of a direct way of getting into the complex. This assignment was going well and he hoped that there wouldn't be too much trouble with taking out this target. He had those before, especially during the drug lord job. He had been assigned to take out a big drug lord in Mexico and it had gone south rather quickly, he killed the drug lord, but he nearly got himself killed in the process.

"Time to go kill a politician" he said to himself with a smile.

Book Cliffs, CO, 39° 40′ N 108º 0′ W Unnamed Military Base

The buzz of the fluorescent lighting over head was something he'd heard for six years, schlepping from base to base, never being allowed outside for longer then it took for him to be "escorted" from transport to base, and then it was once again under the buzz of the damned fluorescent lights. Alexander Quinn had spent six long years being the Government's toybox, and he'd had enough of it now. after finding out that his adoptive parents had died in a car crash and well that they were his adoptive parents had been the push he needed. he was done being used, and so he began to focus and plan.

his "room" was everything a Fifteen year old would want their room to look like. a large flat screen, every possible blu-ray disk a teenager could want to watch on the shelves scattered all over the room. bed, Dresser, and then his Desk, with his own personal desktops(personally modified of course), five monitors, which currently were showing the flowing colors screensaver, but beneath that, his program was running, causing a loop in the entire base's video system, effectively making him invisible. Alexander, pulled a black shirt on over his head, followed by a black hoodie. already in jeans and his heavy weather boots, he grabbed his Gadget Bag, slinging it over his shoulder and feeling a lot better as he moved toward the door to his room.. solid grey metal, it clashed with the bright colors of his room.. or former room. flipping the flap open on his bag, he pulled out his Rubix's cube, or so they called it, but really it was a nonlethal weapon he'd made just for this occasion. fingering the cube in his hand, twirling it, he counted before he found the one flattened cube with no metal piece on it and he pressed it three times.. "Burt" outside, his personal guard was a big guy, he'd need the extra voltage to drop him. each press of the center cube, dislodged a smaller one, that instantly began buzzing with current. with three in hand now, he opened the door and threw them out. the sound of current, the smell of ozone told him they'd activated as they flew through the air, leaving his hand they suddenly began arching current flowing between each block as it flew end over end toward Burt, who turned.. his screams didnt come, he had enough current going through him to keep his muscles tense and tight, making him unable to move. rushing out of the room, closing the door he collected the three he'd just threw off the floor, cutting off the flow as he replaced them back onto the base he held in his other hand. "sorry Burt, but im getting out of here" and he rushed down the hall way.. he'd been right about doing this at night, the base was quiet, most people were asleep.

having to use the Shock Blocks four more times, and each time they'd worked perfectly. making it to the control room. he replaced his rubix back in his bag, before bringing it around in front of him. checking the halls, he flipped the flap up, revealing his Tablet, his system was still running strong, he was invisible still, and they'd see in the cameras in his room that he was laying in bed. his fingers typed over the glass screen of the tablet, before his bag grew warm on the bottom as the printer fired up, he'd have to fix that, heat was a bad thing but the fake id he'd just made shot out the bottom. the picture, name and magnetic strip would read it as one of the many higher officials that came and went, so he scanned into the room with no problem and soon stood in the brain center of the base, the one place he'd not been able to ever even get a glimpse of.. but now. he couldn't help grinning as the electronics sang to him in a way that no one else would ever understand. with no time to let his mind wander he gave him self a pinch to keep focused and he ran toward the main console, and began deactivating the security protocols they had set up, and then he brought the elevator down for him. done in here, he moved to the wall. "hello Servers.. yes im sorry" he said, patting them affectionately, before he let his mind flow into the devices. he didn't have a gizmo for this, and a good thing too, if someone got a hold of it, they could crash any computer system they wanted, cause what he was doing was altering a bit of the machine itself to stop the very much needed fans that kept them nice and cool. done with that, he bolted out of the room, and hit the elevator just as the sound if sizzling and frying hardware came to his ears, but the doors closed and he was heading up. Shock cube back in hand, he hit the center cube til his hand was full, he wasn't taking any chances, he'd tried breaking out before and never got to the elevator before. he stood there, whistling to himself as he waited, a hand full of supercharged little black cubes, waiting for the doors to slide open, and when they did, he stepped out into the garage level, not quite ground floor, but close enough all that stopped him was a guard at the gate.. oh and the twenty soldiers that stood there, cutting him off. Alexander stared at them, as the General, the one man he hated more then anyone else walked forward. "im Impressed Alexander, you've never made it this far, and you'd have made it out of here if you hadn't left the guards laying on the floor" Alexander thought about that for a moment. "im fifteen, i don't know everything" he answered back, twirling the blocks in his hand, working up the charge in them as he did, building their strength.

"i told you Alexander, leaving is not an option for you" the General said. "do you think being an Evo out there in the real world is going to be better on you?. you wont know how to live on your own" Alexander narrowed his eyes. "i'll manage thanks" throwing the handful of Shock Cubes out, sending them scattering into the air, at the same time he ducked back into the elevator, hugging the side as he heard the zapping and the sound of bodies dropping. reaching into his bag, he pulled out his sunglasses and slid them on before he turned and bolted out of the elevator, clicking and holding the center cube down, all the others began jumping on the ground, before they rose up and flew back toward him, reattaching themselves til it was a complete rubix cube once again. "sorry General, im not staying" he grinned down at the unconscious general, stepping over him and around the other soldiers before he found the Generals. he scanned it with his glasses, finding the unlock code easily, the doors unlocked and he slid inside. "oh yea" stroking the steering wheel of the black Sedan, having never driven before in his life unless counting video games, but how hard could it be as he started the car, laughing as he put the car in drive and slammed his foot on the gas, tires peeling out before he shot forward, turning the wheel when the turn came as he spiraled up a level, and there it was.. sunlight, real sunlight.. straight ahead.. he held the gas pedal down as he shot through the guard station, having raised the arm on his own. he was free. hitting the open road, laughing his ass off as he yelled at the top of his lungs. "Freedom!!"

Elena smirked seeing Max's reaction to the limited use of her ability on him, and knew that it would hurt like hell and have his whole arm being numb. "Glad you enjoyed it." Elena said seeing the hatred in his eyes she was showing the same amount of hate in her eyes towards him, Elena still continued to try and struggle to break free from the rubber cuffs. "Anyway judging by the reaction on your face when I mentioned Building 26 you definitely know something about it, my men were working with a CIA operative to look into someone who managed to acquire information about it or rather was seeking information about it online. Being a sensitive topic, the united states government was rather interested in who this individual was that was looking into it, however the agent they sent as well as my whole team was murdered and there's no trace of them, and while I'm not exactly the most confident in our government, I know for a fact what my team is capable of, meaning a very powerful individual would be needed to dispatch that entire team." Elena stopped for a moment when he brought up the killed Olympus team and the CIA agent and thought back to four days ago and knew that it was Blaire who did that.

"Listen, I have no clue who did that to your men I was in my apartment after I saved those people in the high school attack. It must have been another Evo who did that not me." Elena glared she remained quiet as Max started to bring up the Nazi thing and just laughed shaking her head. "You know, what is exactly what Hitler thought and your kind are weak for trying to kill us because you don't understand us at all." Elena cried out in pain as she was kicked in the head causing a very painful and massive headache, and then another loud cry as she was punched and back handed, her face quickly starting to swell up and bruises started to become worse. Elena was still now her head hanging limply as blood started to drip down onto her lap.

"Since you want to be difficult you force me to do this? Tell me this how do you feel about drugs? Personally I'm a proponent of cannabis legalization myself, I have a-lot of powerful friends who are investing money in it including mine, I'm going to be a wealthy day when the U.S finally legalizes it even though I hate the stuff myself. Tried it after alcohol, that ended my drug career there, and considering my mom was an addict and died from driving drunk that's probably the best. Anyway there's one drug in particular I always wanted to try LSD? Pretty popular these days, of course you do have to be in a good mood to try it after all a bad trip is one of the most horrific things that can happen depending on the dosage and what's going on Anyway here's what I'm trying to say." Elena slowly lifted her head up slowly as he asked her how she felt about drugs, she wasn't even sure why he brought it up. Elena then watched him taking out a syringe she winced when he jammed the needle into her arm she looked down to where the needle was stabbed into her arm, and then met his gaze.

"That right there is liquid LSD, a pretty huge fucking dose. The best thing about injection is the come up into 12 hours of psychdelic madness is far quicker instead of 2 hours a mere 20-30 minutes and you'll begin your detachment from reality. This has the potential to be the greatest experience of your life if you have a good trip or one of the worst if the opposite occurs, now considering I'm the one overseeing your trip how do you think yours will be? Hmmm...I will break you physically, and mentally, I will make you suffer the literally most horrific experience of your life, you should feel a burst of energy unlike ever before, goose bumps, nausea, everything's louder brighter, allow me to start your trip off right perhaps that'll get you talking. Oh and one last thing, there is a way to escape this trip. Anxiety medication such as xanax can end the trip suddenly, I happen to have another syringe on me full of it. Not only will it end your descent into psychosis it'll also let you sleep. But alas let's begin how about some motivation to tell me about your friend and Building 26." She could quickly feel the effects of the drug building up inside of her, Elena's pupils started to dilate quickly everything in the room became much louder the very little lighting in the room became much brighter which made her eyes start to hurt she never thought about ever doing drugs and this is why she never touched any of it.

As Max told her the only way out was that she would tell him everything she knew and he would give her the drugs so that it would stop completely as the seconds passed by the lights started flickering violently then they were before. She started to try and struggle to break free the chair started to shake side to side as Elena used all of her strength to, Elena looked up as a bowl was lowered from the ceiling and cried out in pain as boiling hot water was dumped onto her lap. The steaming hot water caused her skin to turn red and blister from it, she looked in front of her and saw that Blaire was standing where Max was and thought that it was her. "Blaire please help me get out of here, I really need your help.." Elena said softly while still wincing from all of her injuries Max had done to her.




Melanie had woken up rather late she opened up her eyes and looked at her clock seeing that it was actually 12:00 she had to be at the studio in about two hours to get set up for makeup for a new horror movie she was going to be staring in soon. Melanie turned on the tv and saw it was more news about Evos the most recent was some giant woman stomping around in downtown LA, she sighed and rolled her eyes knowing that people like that would end up getting all of their kind imprisoned or worse. And the blood tests were also a bad thing so far she had kept her own ability a secret from everyone else, then there was a new chopper over Big Bear Lake and tons of police and FBI agents around the area which mentioned Elena Reese was hiding out there for the past four days before she just disappeared from what the news reporter had said.

Hearing enough about her kind Melanie quickly shut off the tv and started to get dressed into her clothes Melanie got out of her high rise apartmentshe headed into the parking garage where a black and red mustang was waiting. Melanie turned on the car and started to drive over towards the studio, she could see that there were a lot of cops as well as ambulances going down the street to where the protests were at she noticed that things were much hotter then they usually were for this time of the year it felt more like it was summer. It took her quiet sometime to actually finally make it to the studio where her manager was waiting by the parking lot. "The hell took you so long Mel?" The older man asked Melanie got out of her car and closed the door and locked it. "Sorry the whole giant attacking downtown caused some traffic jams." Melanie said walking over towards the studio. "Well your makeup artist is waiting for you now, go ahead and get ready and head to the set." Melanie nodded and walked into the room seeing Manny there. "Hey sorry for the wait were you waiting long?" Melanie asked.

Noah Bennet

Noah was surprised to hear what Jennifer had to report and that she was willing to actually help. "I might need your help very soon." Noah said as he walked into the room putting the phone on speaker. "I'm here right now with Peter Petrelli, we have a lead on a blood testing facility part of it is run by a company called Olympus Incorporated. It looks like there is a holding facility under the building itself, we are going to hit that and I believe Elena might be there as well." Noah said looking over at Peter patting him on the shoulder. "We will meet you at your place soon and talk more in person i'll see you soon." Noah said hanging up the phone and turned to look at Peter. "Print out what you can and get us to LA."

The shop was buzzing with action today. Matteus's crew were busy working at two cars that needed to be done fast. One tomorow, the other two days from now. Matteus was in the office not doing anything important. He was sitting on the seat, looking at the TV and watching the news regarding the tragic death of Claire Bennett. He wasn't particulary happy about that despite hating her for exposing EVO's to the world. As he was paying attention to the news on TV Wesley comes inside with a satisfied look on his face. Matteus noticed him and turned around while still on the chair.

"Hey Matty listen up, remember that guy that the police interogated last week regarding your girlfriend?" Asked Wesley while gesticulating.

"The owner of that black Chevy Impala that Sarah was dragged in?" Said Matteus, responding to Wesley's question with another question.

"Yup, that guy. I got his address just like you asked. Whathaya say we pay him a visit and see if we can squeeze more information from him, prefferably the truth. Because my instinct's telling me that guy is a big fat lier." Responded Wesley.

"Yeah, whatever you say." Matteus said with a rather uninterested tone.

"What's wrong with you? Who knocked the wind out of your sails?"

"Haven't you watched the news today?"

"Not really! Was I supposed to?"

"Claire Bennett was just shot in the head on live television while giving a speech."

"Oh my God! You gotta be kidding me. And what are you so sad about? I thought you hated her." Asked Wesley shocked by the news and surprised by Matteus's surprising sadness regarding the subject.

"Yes, and I still do. But from that to wanting her dead is a long way. And besides that...this incident can become a very dangerous precedent." Said Matteus, visibly concerned about the whole thing while Wesley was struggling to find his words.

"Sooo, are we going after that guy or not?"

"Yes! I have a feeling he knows more then he wants us to think." Said Matteus as both he and Wesley got out of the office and out of the car shop.

"Mine or yours?" Asked Wesley obviously reffering to whose car they take.

"Well you're the one that knows the address so lead the way my long braided friend." Said Matteus pointing towards Wesley's car, an orange, customized, 1969 Pontiac GTO that he was using for both street racing and regular everyday driving. Matteus got on the passenger seat while Wesley started the car and drove away to the guy's address.
