She didn't wake up again until a little after 10:30am. Rose ate some fruit and a cinnamon roll for brunch, then got ready for the day. She picked out her sun dress from earlier in the week and pouted. "If I'm going to live here, I'm gonna need some new clothes," Rose thought. Peter came back a few minutes later.

"Rose, are you ready to go?" Peter called from the kitchen.

"Yeah, let's go," Rose answered, trying to finish putting her earrings on.

"Hi, I'm here to see Mr. Bennet," Rose told the receptionist.

"This way please," she answered beckoning Rose and Peter to follow.

"Ms. Wellington, good to see you again," Noah tried to play it cool until he saw Peter's reaction. "I didn't know you'd be here to Peter."

"Yes, I accompany Rose now as much as I can," Peter said hollowly.

"She's going to need it," Noah said without thinking, "And here's your check, enjoy."

"Rose, what did he mean by you're going to need it?" Peter asked.

"The agency I work for might have eyes on me for a few days or two to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid," Rose half-lied.

"Must be some agency you worked for," Peter commented.

"It paid handsomely and-"

"GET DOWN!" Peter yelled as he covered Rose and ducked. Gunshots went off and Rose covered her ears.

"Now that we have everybody's attention, we wanna know where Rose Cassandra Wellington is and no one will have to get hurt," the shooter said.

"No!" Peter whispered as he held Rose down, "What are you doing?"

"I can't let them kill everyone Peter," Rose whispered back.

"They'll kill you instead."

"What else am I supposed to do?" Rose asked, "These people are completely innocent."

"Act like you're going to go with them," Peter said.

"What?"

"Trust me, I won't let them do anything to you."

"Ok," Rose said confused.

"Go!"

"I'M RIGHT HERE!" Rose yelled as she stood up and nervously walked over to the gunmen.

"Mr. Banks wants to chat," the man said in a deep voice.

"You can tell him I have nothing more to say," Rose spat.

"That's not what he thinks, you're coming with me," the man said as he grabbed Rose's arm and forced her to walk.

"I DON'T THINK SO BIG GUY!" Peter shouted. Rose turned to see Peter shoot fire out of his hands. She took advantage of the distraction and gave the guy an uppercut, then ran to Peter, side hugging him. He instinctively put an arm around her and blasted the guy one more time for good measure. However, the guy was tough and attempted to shoot Peter and Rose.

"Hold on tight," Peter warned Rose.

"What's going to happen to-OH MY GOSH!" Rose exclaimed when she saw her feet leaving the ground. She quickly adjusted her grip and wrapped her arms around Peter's neck. "You can fly?!" she asked delighted when she saw they were in the air.

"That's not all I can do," Peter answered.

"Cool! This is awesome! I love how the wind feels on my face."

"Thank you for flying with Petrelli Airlines today," Peter joked as they landed on the roof. Rose laughed.

"So you have powers?" she asked once they were back in the apartment.

"Yeah, I can absorb other people's powers," Peter explained. "Who were those guys back there and why did they want you?"

"Here comes the rain," Rose thought with a sigh as she sat down on the couch and encouraged Peter to do the same thing.

"I um, I haven't been completely honest with you Peter," Rose started, "I'm not entirely who I say I am." Rose stopped when she saw Peter's hurt expression.

"Who are you really?" Peter asked quietly.

"I don't work for a private government agency...I'm a highly trained assassin," Rose explained slowly. "But it's not what you think," she quickly reassured Peter when she saw him shift uncomfortably. "My old boss said that someone else had a job for me, so he sent me to Noah Bennet who wanted to take out everyone who had these so called 'powers.' I met with Noah who gave me a list of names to take out. I was headed down here anyway for the girl's weekend and figured I could take out as many as I could, but then Noah said that you and your family were the most important ones to take out. Then I got hurt and it threw everything off completely, but then I met you and instantly fell in love. Noah said he'd give me 'til the end of the week to take you and the others out, but you were just so nice and I've never been that close to anyone and you took me under your wing and introduced me to your family and I just...I just couldn't do it. Both bosses fired me and now Mr. Banks, my original boss, is going to send other assassins to kill me," Rose explained.

"Why would he kill you?" Peter asked confused and concerned.

"It's part of our code; if you betray the oath you take when you join, then they send your own to kill you because then they consider you a threat. In many ways, I can be a threat or become a threat, but I wouldn't come after them for firing me," Rose answered. "I've only just met you and I'm so sorry that I dragged you into this."

"Don't be sorry, I have no regrets and nobody's going to kill you because I'm not going to let that happen," Peter reassured Rose with a big hug.

"How are we going to get through this?" she asked.

"We'll figure it out together, but for right now, why don't we get some sleep?"
