That's a hard thing for any boy to do, even if the boy is all grown up. What was the problem with his dad?

[termineur]

[ Gabriel stops for a moment to just sigh, clearly trying to suss out where to even start on Arthur Petrelli. ]

He was trying to develop a drug that would give people special abilities. Like I've got, yeah? But with flying and enhanced strength instead. And then he was going to use that to make a bunch of super soldiers. Whether he was going to 'sell' them to the military or use them for himself, I have no idea.

But Arthur also tried to kill Peter a few times, left him powerless, all those things that show a son he cares. Both me and Peter were basically involved in a tug of war between his mom and his dad, and he appreciated it about as much as I did.

And I'm gonna guess that the mum wasn't a decent sort, either. Am I right?

[termineur]

[ Something in his eyes sharpens, even as he smirks. ]

Oh, she was vile. At least she didn't try to kill him- but that's only as far as I know.

[devoutish]

Did she try to kill others?

[termineur]

She was more the type to tell others to do the killing.

[ Like Gabriel himself, for example. ]

No, her trade was secrets- and lies, of course. But I imagine she wasn't above some good ol' fashioned murder if someone willing wasn't on hand.

[devoutish]

[And like Alfie! Fun times.]

Not a gangster, was she?

[termineur]

[ He raises an eyebrow and looks away for a moment- it's clearly not something he's considered before. ]

If the gang can be composed of secret agents and people with super powers...yeah, that sounds about right.

[devoutish]

Sounds like all the gangs I've ever heard of.

[Alfie says - and whether he means it or not, he does sound completely serious.]

[termineur]

[ Gabriel just raises an eyebrow at that. Really? ]

[devoutish]

Sure, yeah. Many gangs make use of the police; they're the secret agents. And gangsters have got the super powers of skirting the law and evading capture.

[termineur]

[ Gabriel has a good chuckle about that, as he reaches for another slice of bread to enjoy. ]

Well, some of the gangsters do, I'm sure. Just like some of the people in my world get pretty useless abilities, I bet some people in your profession just get caught on day one.

[devoutish]

Then they're not proper gangsters, are they? It takes time to become a gangster.
