A couple. One that's just as reactive as this one, though. He has a similar special ability to mine- he could copy people's powers. As far as I could tell, though, it worked through empathy, so-
Well, I was happy to provide- if shoving him out a 3rd-floor window counts, anyway.
But like I said, he was sort of getting it. Once enough people betrayed him, he started learning how to trust his mind instead of his heart. Managed to pull the trigger on his monster of a father, which is more than I'd expected out of him.
[ 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.
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.

[ He shrugs, but he's grinning- that grin is going to stick around for awhile, in all likelihood. ]
I didn't do anything for them last year, and I got some amazing things then. This year just felt right, y'know? It's been a better winter for me.

I guess we've got a few Norfinbury first-timers this year. Peter nearly blasted a hole through me a week ago.

Doesn't take much to rile him up, does it?
[ With a bit of realization, he mutters: ] Maybe that's just how 'Peters' are.

He was an uncontrollable mess, for the most part.

Think he was finally starting to get it around when I got pulled away.

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

[ 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.
no subject
Not a gangster, was she?

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