INCAPACITATION

AN - - - I was never sure what I thought of this one, but upon re-reading it now, I rather like it. Inspired partially by "Roadside Prophet" by Jason Mraz (which, for the record, I also don't own).

Peter finds that he dreams every night, more than he used to, but he always was a dreamer (literally and otherwise). The odd part was that he always used to dream main points - the edges were blurred and what was going on in the dream was more important than where he was or the people around him, not to mention that it was always black and white.

But now - Peter assumed it was the medication, but maybe it was just everything that had happened lately catching up with him, throwing everything into such sharp focus.

Now his dreams were in Technicolor, the street signs a little to yellow, the sky a little too blue.

And the people around him matter more than ever; Nathan, pre and post him, Claire, his mother, Sylar, everyone he had seen in the last few months, ever since he’d begun to think he could fly was there and all the people with powers like him that he knew always took starring roles.

And now, the dreams - what happened was never important. He was eating in a café with Nathan and Claire, he was running anyway from Sylar with Claude in New York, he was back in Kirby Plaza with everyone he had seen there, but this time they were all having a picnic, a handsome little Mulatto boy and a pretty brunette girl splashing in the rain that was falling only where they played around the big, red, stair steps. And more often then not, he prayed he would never wake up.
