[It's twenty years ago, and you find yourself on a deserted bridge. There's a car behind you, which might be how you got there, and a gun in your hand, pointed at one Noah Bennet. He doesn't beg for mercy, or plead his case, but only opens his arms out, giving you a perfect shot to his heart.]

Do it. Shoot. You and I both know it's the only way.

[You pull the trigger, but the bullet seems to be moving in slow-motion. The slug enters his chest, blood spreading out over his starched shirt as he falls to his knees.]

It's alright, [he tells you calmly, as if he's placating to a child, and maybe in some cases he is. He opens his shirt to reveal the wound, bullet pushing back out of his chest and clinking uselessly to the gravel below.]

[Deb has no idea who this man is but this dream is making her feel like he's important to her somehow. It's almost like she's not really herself at all here. Which is kind of interesting, so she'll go with it. After all, it's a dream, weird shit happens all the time. Also, because this dream in in the past, it should be in black and white be for no reason, just because that's how Heroes rolls. B)]

Holy shit, how... [She drops the gun and takes a few quick steps to get right in front of him, putting her hand where the bullet entered and exited. It doesn't really seem all that strange that it happened, just that it happened to him, and she's kind of half caring about how strange that is, and half not.] Fuck, I thought I killed you.

I thought you did too. [He seems a little amused by the whole scene, which is more than a little weird.]

[And her two seconds of shock are over. She shoves him away and stands up because this isn't really making all that much sense so it's time to be pissed off.]

Hey, was there a fucking reason for any of this? Why'd you tell me to shoot you, asshole.

It was the only way. I betrayed them-- It was the only way to keep Claire safe.

You dying won't keep her safe--Jesus, why are men such retards. Maybe instead of throwing yourself in front of a fucking bullet you should, I don't know, help her?

If I try, they'll find her.
