Randomly Destined
This chapter's title comes from Barbara Brown Taylor
Epilogue:
The living room was full of an odd assortment of people. Peter glanced around it, counting and noting the differences. There was himself, his mother, Nathan with Heidi, Claire, Sandra and Lyle and Claire’s best friend Zach. Claude stood at the fireplace, scowling at Hiro animatedly relating his adventures for Ando, Micah, Simon, Monty and Molly. Mohinder was watching them avidly as were DL and Niki, who hadn’t let go of each other since they entered the house. Matt and his wife sat nearby because Molly was in his lap.
It seemed strange that they could all be people either with abilities or related to them somehow. Either way, everyone appeared to be connected and destined to be there.
“Excuse me, everybody,” Peter raised his voice. “We all know why we’re here. Maybe we should let Claude do his thing. Because we’ve got a lot to learn and Sylar is still out there.
Everyone quieted down as Claude started to talk.
“Not much to tell you really. Except you’re all bloody amateurs. We’ll have to knock it out of you, literally. You kids have the best chance. Not as many bad habits to break. But there’s a lot of work ahead for all of us. Those of you without abilities should still listen up, a lot you could learn. If you know of anyone else like you, give me a bit of free advertising, eh? ‘Sides, apparently we won’t be spending all of our time learning, but hunting, too.” Claude looked sidelong at Mohinder who had a lot of research at his side. “But, back to the point. Now, I’m not the most conventional teacher, but you’ve all put yourselves in my hands so listen up.”
Peter listened. He didn’t always agree with Claude’s methods, but the results were good. He was living proof. The important thing was that all of them were there, they were all meant to be there, and they were going to change the world.
