[Introduction: Hiro and Ando jumped to a world where the bomb ripped apart New York City. Where special people were scapegoated and treated unfairly.
In this world two characters we knew independently, Peter Petrelli and Niki Sanders, became lost souls who found each other in the wake of the tragedy. But how did this unlikely pair meet?]
Future Peter Narrating: It was about a year and change after the bomb when Hiro asked for my help.
Future Peter: Why tonight?
Future Hiro: I got word that the key team of guards were dispated to D.C. on an emergency. We have a small window.
Future Peter: Gotcha. How many people you think are in there?
Future Hiro: Just shy of two hundred.
Future Peter Narrating: I know if I was locked up just for nothing more than being me...I'd want someone to break me out.
[Caption: Utah. Moab Federal Penitentiary.]
Future Peter: (Overlooking the prison from a hill outside.) So what's the plan?
Future Peter Narrating: Two guards manned the back entrance. We froze time, no problem. They had what we needed to get inside. (keys and ID access cards) From there we split up. Hiro made his way to the main control center. He would disable the locks on all the doors. But once he did, we couldn't freeze time anymore. We needed to move in real time. Otherwise we'd have to drag out a lot of stiff time-frozen bodies. Just shy of two hundred.
(People begin to emerge from their now-unlocked cells.)
Future Peter Narrating: We needed to help the prisoners help themselves out.
Future Peter: (To the escapees) Go to the south side of the courtyard. We've opened the service gate. Once you're out, look for the paper cranes.
Black escapee man: The paper what?
Future Peter: Cranes. Origami cranes. Just follow them over the hill. Just keep walking till we catch up.
Redheaded escapee woman: There's a big door at the end. I think there may be someone in there.
Future Peter: How does it open?
Redheaded escapee woman: I don't know. I've never seen it open.
Future Peter Narrating: I figured whoever they were keeping behind here...must have been pretty strong.
(Future Peteruses Induced Radioactivity to weaken the hinges, then uses Enhanced Strength to rip the large steel door off and throws it out of the way, revealing a beautiful blond captive hunkering by the bed.)
Future Peter Narrating: She was scared.
Niki: Who are you?
Future Peter: I'm the guy breaking you out. Come on.
Future Peter Narrating: I didn't blame her.
Future Peter: What's your name?
Niki: Niki.
Future Peter: I'm Peter. Just a few more steps Niki and we should be...(they open the doors into the courtyard, to much their surprise)...home free.
(Three Agents are in the courtyard, one female running very fast on the prison wall, one sumo-ish male choking Future Hiro by the neck, off the ground, and another male observing, while levitating off of the ground, and arcing electricity through from his fists.)
Female Enhanced Speed Agent: Director Parkman was right. They wouldn't be able to resist.
Male Electic Manipulation Agent: Quite convenient really. The criminals deliver themselves to prison.
Future Peter Narrating: So much for our window.
