The Roof, Thursday afternoon

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

It wasn't a beautiful day, but it wasn't raining, wasn't snowing, wasn't particularly cold, and Walter was just in the mood to sit on the roof, smoke a cigarette, and ponder this matter of having a doppelganger.

Maybe he'd jump a little later. Bonus points if he scared the skin off of a new person.

[ooc: Ze roof, she is open. Thread with Walter and Peter Petrelli (can't even say Peter P.) locked, plz.]

Pippi walked up to the roof with a small backpack.

"Oh... Walter. Hi!"

She seems disconcerted at first but is ultimately happy to see her best friend.

Compelled by his dream of that morning, Peter decided to at least see if he could get to the roof of the dorms.

Happily surprised that he didn't even have to try breaking any locks, he was too lost in his own thoughts to notice anybody else there just yet.

[ooc: Can't even say New York Peter either. Damn you Fandom!]

"Hey." Walter tilted his head at her questioningly. Seeing Pippi even briefly disconcerted was unusual. "What's new?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter stubbed out his cigarette and waved to the new guy. "Hi. You're either new, or someone is going to get an A in Disguise class. Do we have a Disguise class?"

"I went to see Dr. Wilson in the clinic yesterday... And Pip left this morning for a funeral."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I heard he was in the clinic. What happened?" Walter waved her over. "Come here. Whose funeral? Family?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi walked over to Walter for hugs.

"Bel said that Dr Wilson went to LA to talk to Angel about... headaches or something? And was attacked. And he's just laying in a bed and there's beeping machines and Mr. Phale looks like he hasn't slept and I don't even know if he does sleep. And he said it wasn't family, it was some officer he said he hardly knows and he was kinda... I don't know."

"If we do I want in on it," Peter said. He gave a wave. "Hey. Peter Petrelli. One of the new kids."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter wrapped Pippi in his arms and hugged her tightly. He couldn't know what sort of "I don't know" Pip was, but he was going to guess professional distance.

But Dr. Wilson, for all that he'd stuck some questionable item in Walter's head, had done it to save his life, and Walter owed him his life for that.

"You're worried about them both?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Walter Dornez," Walter said, nodding in acknowledgement. "Not Speartyke, he's shorter. How are you finding Fandom so far?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Good to meet you, Walter. So far it's been great," Peter said. He looked around, getting his bearings. "What's your stance on all this talk about gremlins and demons?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter shrugged and held his hand parallel to the roof, tilting it side to side. "For the record, one doesn't always suck, but the other does."

Poor new guy. "Bel's a demon. He's not so bad. My girlfriend turned into a gremlin and bit me, causing me to think I was my employer for the day. That sucked."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well, obviously Dr. Wilson is in a worse way but... I'm not a doctor, I can't do anything but be there and talk to him and stuff. I understand what my role in that is."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"So none of that is a metaphor, huh?" Peter asked. "There really is..." Peter tried to think of a good word for it. "Supernatural stuff going on?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"And with Pip...?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I feel like I'm supposed to do something, but I don't know what."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"No metaphor," Walter said, shaking his head. "There's supernatural stuff, time travel, mutants, witches, aliens, and more. I hunt vampires back home in 1945, and my best friend is a pirate princess who dates a mercenary. Welcome to Fandom."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter shook his head. "This place is amazing. I'd hoped it be something like this, but I had no idea."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"You are the best person I know for listening," Walter said, giving her another squeeze.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"He didn't seem to want to talk."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

It sounded as though this guy had known more about Fandom than Walter had when he arrived. "What brings you here, then? We don't get many people who don't have some sort of interesting story."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"And you know nothing about guys who do that."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Kinda hoping to make something of myself," Peter said. Reminded, he walked over to the ledge of the rooftop. He stood there, taking in the view. "I found this brochure for the school and I just felt like I had to be here, you know?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"You found a brochure for Fandom High?" Walter hadn't really heard of anyone ending up there in that manner. "It sounds as though it was meant to be."

"Ah, you've figured out why I'm here talking to you about it..."
