Epilogue

Peter and Claire slowly walk down the city street, hand in hand. A month has passed since their encounter with Sylar. Isaac was put to rest on a cloudy day only two days after his death. The weather suited everyone's mood as they said goodbye to their dear friend.

Hiro and Ando have continued to reside in Isaac's apartment, allowing it to remain the unofficial headquarters' of the heroes. The two continue, along with Matt and Mohinder to try to find other people like them, and help them understand their abilities. Mohinder has expanded his lab and is in talks with nearby colleges for a position as a professor and is hoping to expand his research even more.

Matt also decided to stay in the city; aside from helping Hiro and Ando to find others with abilities he works night shifts for the NYPD.

Niki, DL, and Micah continue to live across from Peter and Claire, happily settling down into their new life in New York. DL is working with the FDNY and Niki has taken a job as an administrative assistant.

Peter and Claire's relationship continues to grow. A week after the battle with Sylar the phone in their apartment rang, with Claire's mother, Sandra on the other side. Noah Bennet explained everything to her and Lyle, and the Bennet's are planning to come to visit New York to see their daughter in a matter of days.

Since discovering his daughter survived what he believed to be a deadly fire, Claude is still the invisible man, deciding that Claire is grown up enough and doesn't need him to guide her, but he does materialize more often then before to spend time getting to know the daughter he thought he lost. Things between Claude and Peter are still a little tense, as Claude stubbornly refuses to forgive Peter for his relationship with Claire, while at the same time proud that his daughter is so happy and has found someone who loves her so deeply. (Though this is something he would never willingly say to that 'bloody bastard who slept with his little girl'). At the moment Peter hasn't been thrown off another roof because of Claude, but the threat is often muttered in the younger man's direction.

In the hand that is not tightly clasped in Claire's, Peter holds piles of folders as he and Claire make their way back home.

He and Claire are returning home from a tour of some local colleges, the same ones Mohinder is looking into teaching. Claire hopes to enroll in the fall and Peter couldn't be more proud.

They walk into their apartment, Peter following Claire into the living room as he sets down the paperwork and gives her a deep kiss, his tongue quickly darting out to tangle with hers.

"I love you." He says looking deeply into her eyes.

"I love you too." Claire answers, reaching her hands up to pull Peter's head down for another kiss. She giggles as Peter picks her up and marches into the bedroom, telekinetically shutting the door behind them.
