Heroes: Alternate Universe part 4

Hiro and Ando teleported to New York. Perhaps, Hiro hoped, "Flying Man" (Hiro's nickname for Nathan Petrelli) would be able to provide some answers. "This is pointless, Hiro," Ando told him for the third time. "Nathan Petrelli has always been reluctant to help in the past. What makes you think he'll help us now?" "He's the only hero I know where to find," Hiro answered. "And if he doesn't help, we can ask him where his brother is." "Peter Petrelli is definitely more helpful than Nathan Petrelli," Ando agreed. "But what if he doesn't tell us?" "Then we find a way to discover who has been giving me these dreams," Hiro said. The last dream had been frightning. He didn't know what those men circling the table were doing, but it didn't look good. "He'll have all the answers we need." "Hiro, we don't even know where to look," Ando exclaimed. "That won't stop me," Hiro said with resolve. "Whatever these dreams are about, it seems to be very important." "I'm not arguing with that, but we don't know where to start looking." "Flying Man might know. He knows a lot of things about politics, and his brother is a nurse. Maybe he'll tell us where he is." "Where who is," asked a voice from behind them. They both turned to find who it was: Peter Petrelli. Several minutes later, in a sub sandwich restaurant, Hiro told Peter the story. Peter frowned while he listened. "This sounds like people are going to be operated on for some reason," he said after Hiro finished talking. "But it could just be somebody having his tonsils removed. Did you see who was having the operation?" "No," Hiro answered. "The doctors were surrounding the table, so I couldn't see who was on the table." "But you're sure there was someone there?" "They were definitely working on something, and they were wearing caps, gloves, masks, and coats." "Well, that's as good a reason as any. You wsaid that the surgeouns were surrounding the table. Did any of them look young, like they were still in college?" "Many of them, yes," Hiro said, thinking back. "Then it could just be a normal operation. Students and interns are allowed in the operating room so they can learn by example." "It didn't look like they were just watching," Hiro explained. "They were helping with the operation." "Hiro, I want you to think about your dream," Peter said. "I'm going to try to read your mind so we'll be on the same page." Hiro nodded. He thought about his dream, brtinging the picture into focus so Peter would see it clearly. "What's that machine that looks like a computer from the '70s," Peter asked when he had finished. "I don't know," Hiro said. "It could be something from the past," Ando suggested. "No. The rest of the technology is too advanced," Peter answered. "I'll talk with Nathan and see if he'll help us."
