18.2. Danger
He really wasn't sure how Nathan had made the leap from 'we need a super-powered fighting force to stop the evil folks out there' to 'we need to lock up everyone with abilities,' but somehow it had happened.
It didn't make any sense to him, and when they talked at the mansion he really, really wanted to try to shock Nathan out of the insanity. Except that it rapidly became obvious that wasn't going to happen. And supposedly -- supposedly, Nathan wanted to talk to him and get his input.
He wanted to believe that his brother would listen to him; wanted to believe that somehow he could make him see reason. That somehow he could convince the man that they weren't the danger he'd made them out to be. They'd saved the world more than once -- they were heroes, helping people who needed it, and very few of them actually had dangerous abilities to begin with. He had, at one point, but thanks to their father's violations he could hardly do anything anymore. And Claire -- what kind of danger was she to anyone?
Obviously, there were people with abilities who were dangerous -- they were all far too aware of that fact. But how would they stop the ones like Sylar if there weren't also people out there like him -- good people with powers who wanted to help?
But when he found his brother there, in his apartment, he knew Nathan wasn't going to listen to reason. He knew that sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach -- whatever was going on in Nathan's head, he wasn't there to get advice. He loved his brother with every part of his being, but Nathan wasn't that man any more. When they hugged, he felt the stiffness in Nathan's body, and a split second before everything went black, he thought that was the second time hugging male members of his family had ended very badly. But despite the way it felt when their father had ripped everything away from him, Nathan's betrayal hurt much, much more.
And after their escape from the crash site, he knew that Nathan was very, very wrong. They weren't the dangerous ones at all -- he was.
