Post S2Finale.

Peter gets ready for his date.


He takes one quick look in the mirror before brushing a hand through his hair. He frowned at the thought that he might have just made it worse. He takes his coat from the bed as he takes one last glance at the mirror.

"That's as good as it get I guess" He sighed.

He bounds down the stairs a little too excitedly and upon realizing it, he slows down a little as he checks the time.

"Thanks for coming Astrid" he says as he gets to the bottom of the steps.

"I'm happy to be here" she says eyes scanning his outfit while she takes a sip of her Venti Frappucino. "You guys have fun" she says almost sing song as she heads for the living room where Walter was.

He chuckled to himself as he put his coat on. In the corner of his eyes he saw Walter standing by the wall, staring sadly at him.

"Peter you will come back tonight right?" He asked sadly

Peter smiles inwardly 'hopefully not if the date goes well' he thinks to himself. "Don't worry Walter" he gives Walter a small smile as he heads out the door.

It was exactly 8:00 when he pulled up to her brownstone.

"Just in time" he says to himself, feeling like a teenager picking up his date for the prom.

He pulls out his phone and sends her a quick text telling her that he was out front. He heads for her door and waits. He feels excited since this would be an actual "date" and not "just drinks" He hears keys just behind the door and braces himself.

She slowly opens the door and steps out. She allows him to stare at her while she locks the door. As she turns around she notices his expression.

"What?" she asked almost annoyed.

He was a little surprised at how she looked. She was wearing a tight red dress that hit at the knee. It had a low square neckline and no sleeves. She was wearing black stilettos and her red hair was in a low messy side bun that hit her in one shoulder. He couldn't help but stare.

"Sorry Livia… You look beautiful" he stammered "Although I have never really seen you in anything other than black or grey before, so forgive me if I stare" He said

"Well, I needed a change I guess" she said as she gave him a small smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

"I got it" she said as he tried to help her put her coat on. "Let's go" she said heading to her car"

"Yeah I figured we should use your car" he laughed at the thought of pulling up to a restaurant in Walter's POS.

She managed a small laugh as she threw him the keys.

"Whoa you're letting me drive today? This day has a lot of firsts" he smiled at her.

"Yeah well, I don't know where you're taking me"

"Oh? I thought I pointed it out to you a few months back? Oh well I wouldn't pass up the opportunity of Agent Dunham willingly giving me her keys" he smirked.

The drive to the restaurant as a silent one, he stole small glances at her from the driver's seat but she never looked at him. She kept her eyes out the window, and he couldn't help but wonder what was on her mind.

"Look Liv, if you aren't ready for this I can just take you home… I unders..."

"Its Fine" she cuts him off abruptly. "I want to go, you're right, we haven't exactly been seeing much of each other the past week" She smiled.

Once they get to the restaurant she actually lets him help her out of her coat and lets him pull the chair out for her.

They talk, or he talks and she listens. She forces a laugh at his sarcastic jokes. He leans in to take her hand and she tenses up a bit before pulling away pretending to look at the desert menu. He studies her as she refuses the wine and asks for a soda. He assumes she's nervous.

Other Side

Olivia stands in front of the window with her hands clenched into fists as she watches Peter having dinner with her other self. She glances at The Secretary who is just standing by the big monitor as with an evil grin. She doesn't show any emotion as she had already shown too much vulnerability her first night there. All she can do is watch as Peter tries to hold the woman's hand. Her heart is slowly breaking as she wishes for Peter to notice the differences, but he never says anything. He just stares at the woman who he thought was her. The Secretary's grin widens as he watches his son walk the woman back to her front door with his hands in his pocket. Olivia swallows a lump in her throat when she realized what might come next. The other woman unlocks her door and looks at Peter through her lashes. She hesitantly leans in closer and Peter meets her halfway for a kiss. It might have been wishful thinking but she could have sworn Peter was tensing up. She smiled inwardly as she noticed he never took his hands out of his pockets. Olivia's knuckles are white as she presses them harder on to the glass in front of her. She notices the other woman motion for Peter to come in, and he shakes his head instead, and gives her one last kiss on the cheek. The Secretary turns off the monitor and gave her cold stare.

"He will be back soon" he said to her as men rolled the monitor away.

She pounded her fist hard on the window again. But this time she wasn't crying, or begging. She was angry, her eyes boring into his.

"When I get out of here…" she growled at him

"If" he snarled.

She pounded her fist into the glass one more time as he pulled the blinds down leaving her in darkness once more.
