When Peter heard the report on the TV news, he could not believe his ears. The anchor on CNN was talking about a man in Texas who had literally exploded and destroyed a family’s suburban home. For weeks, Peter had had visions of a man exploding and causing destruction, but in his visions it was always in New York and it was always…him. He couldn’t just believe it was a coincidence that there was another man who could explode. The broadcast went on to say that the man, Ted Sprague, wasn’t harmed in the explosion, it was as if he had given off radioactive energy had that caused everything around him to burst into flames and melt. Peter’s interest grew with every word, especially when he thought he caught the name of the family whose home had been destroyed as “Bennet”. He knew that he had to go to Texas to figure out how this was all connected to his visions.

As he pushed off from the ground and took flight, he wondered if there were any limits on how fast he could go. He knew that Nathan had broken the sound barrier, once, when those two men had been chasing him in Las Vegas. He knew that if Nathan could do it, he could do it. The faster he flew, the stronger her felt the pull of the air around him, almost like he was going through a wind tunnel. He heard a loud boom at almost the exact time he felt a swirling gust of pressure surround him, and felt his arms and legs flailing around, helpless from his control. When he finally landed on the ground and looked around, he was shocked at the state of things.

Buildings all over were in ruins, and the ground and trees were charred and dying. ‘This doesn’t look anything like the suburban area they showed on the news’ Peter thought to himself as he stepped over piles of rubble. ‘I have to find someone and figure out what happened’. He saw a woman walking around nervously, covering her head as if she expected a piece of the sky to land on her at any moment.

“Excuse me” he said, approaching her. “Can you tell me if all of this destruction was caused by the man exploding in Odessa?”
She looked at him like he was crazy; a look, sadly, Peter had become familiar with ever since he had started trying to convince people to read Chandra Suresh’s book.
“There’s been a huge apocalyptic explosion”, she told him. “I don’t know what caused it, but they’ve been evacuating people for days. The safest place seems to be some town called Smallville. It’s in Kansas.” Peter thanked her, and set out to find the nearest map.

Peter took to the skies again, this time being careful not to fly too fast or into any suspicious-looking clouds. He knew that he could heal after meeting Claire and absorbing her ability, but he didn’t know if that applied to being engrossed in a cloud of nuclear material.

He touched down in a small town littered with farms and a few main streets. ‘So’ he thought, ‘this is where the future starts’.
