I lost my mother yesterday. Angela Petrelli caught something they created at Coyote Sands to take out specials. We’re keeping her alive in isolation just in case there’s some way to bring her back to us. Alice Shaw was the carrier. She’d been living with it for so long that she’s immune – patient Zero. Angela passed control of the Company onto Claude Rains and me.
I don’t know if I’m ready for this kind of responsibility. But I won’t let her down. I miss her so much. My heart is breaking. If it wasn’t for Bennet, I don’t know what I’d do. I didn’t lose control. I don’t know how I held it together.
Telling Peter was a nightmare for us both. I had him meet me in the middle of the Nevada desert. I couldn’t risk him nuking a city or what I might do when I let the pain out. Peter and I cried, talked and made peace with each other.
I told him about my real mother being Arthur’s younger sister. He’s the first of the Petrellis to find out I am in fact one of them. Nathan will be a harder nut to crack. He hates me, and I don’t blame him. He hasn’t seen the new me like Peter and Claire have. Funny how Claire isn’t a Petrelli, but I am.
Alice is in holding at the Company until we can find a cure. Linderman walked right in giving himself up, but he won’t talk. We put out an APB on Nakamura, who also turned himself in. Claude and I agree that he needs to be taught control over those damned powers of his or else.
My heart is heavy, and it hurts to breathe when I think about Angela. I keep fingering the pocket watch she gave me. I can see her telling the jeweler that my name was Gabriel Petrelli, and that I was her son. Linderman was wrong. She wasn’t afraid of me. She loved me.
Will be changing my name legally. Neither of the Grays wanted me for their son. Why should I carry on their legacy? I’m a Petrelli now.
