"I'm....what..?!" said Peter, his eyes wide as well.
"Well, I can't technically say adopted seeing as there were no papers, or anything." said Dorian. "But Arthur and Angela Petrelli are not your biological parents."
Peter looked at her hard for a long time.
"According to this, your parents don't even know you exist." she continued. "Not technically. I mean, they knew you were born, but they think you died at birth. Probably thanks to someone with an ability to modify memories."
Peter nodded slowly, sitting down. "...not my real parents..."
"Not your birth parents, at any rate." said Dorian. "Doesn't mean they aren't your parents. Just ask Claire."
Claire nodded. "Yeah."
"So...who are they...?" asked Peter slowly.
"Your mother had or has an ability. Not sure what it is yet, her file is in pretty deep."
"What about my father?"
"He has a file, at Primatech."
"Primatech?" asked Peter, his eyes widening. "You mean, he was captured and held there?"
"Not really. He worked there. One of us, one of them. That's their policy."
Peter nodded. "Who is it?!" he said.
Dorian turned the computer screen around so that Peter could see the file page.
Peter's eyes widened even more. "...no way..."

Fares To Everywhere Cab Company was in its third day and Mohinder had been recruiting agents, most of them he took from Primatech and Pinehearst as many agents lost jobs after they were brought to an end.
Mohinder also recruited some scientist from India that he knew but Mohinder didn't really have any power in the company yet...
He decided to start trying to recruit some people he knew with powers, so he gave Tracy a call.
"Hello Tracy Strauss? It's Mohinder Suresh."
"Hello Doctor, what do you need?"
"I want to know if your interested in working with me?"
"Working with you... Doing what exactly?"
"I'm setting up an organization that helps people with abilities stay off the radar from the government. We need to stick together!"
"Okay Suresh. Where do you need me?"
"Meet me at my apartment whenever it is possible and then I'll show you where we work."
"Okay then I'll come round soon. See you there."

Mohinder paused. "Nice to meet you, Dorian." he said at last, as they stopped at another stoplight. He paused again, a realization coming to him. "Did you say that you lived...under a building?"
Dorian nodded. "I did." she said to him.
Mohinder blinked. She lived under a building?
Dorian smiled. "Trust me, it's a nice apartment." she said, as if she knew what he was thinking.
The light turned green, and he continued to drive. "If we were to...reform the company," he began, "what would it's, public face be?" His eyes went to the mirror. "Primatech's face was the paper company."
"I was thinking, this." she said.
He raised his eyebrows. "A cab company?" he asked her, his eyebrows raised. "Why a cab company?"
"You see a lot of different people." she said. "No doubt some will have abilities. When we find them, we'll help." she paused. "What do you think?"
Mohinder thought about it as he made a turn. "Count me in."

Mohinder looked at her in the mirror, waiting. "Yes?" he said at last.
"I live underneath a fairly large building, that I haven't put to a use yet." she said. "And I would like to put it to use."
"....Alright.." said Mohinder slowly. "What's this got to do with me?"
"That's the proposition." she said. "To reform, the company."
"Reform the company?!" he said, looking at her as though she was insane.
"Not exactly, though." she said. "Not with the purpose of 'bagging and tagging', but with the purpose of helping. Get them to safety. Make sure they stay under the radar."
"Are you serious?" he said, looking at the mirror again.
"I am indeed." she said.
Mohinder paused for a long time. "Before I say yes, or no, to your proposition, tell me one thing."
"Yes?"
"What's your name?" he asked.
She paused, her silvery eyes dancing as they went to the mirror. "Dorian." she said. "Dorian Gray."

Mohinder's eyes widened. "What?" he stuttered.
Her gaze left the window, and went to the rear view mirror, and she looked at the reflection of Mohinder's wide eyes. "It was a beautiful ceramony." she said.
Mohinder's throat was dry. She had known his father. For a moment, his mind flashed back to that day, and he remmebered, seeing her there, for a few breif moments. He swallowed hard. "You knew my father..." he said soflty.
His fare nodded. "He did more for me than you could ever know." she said, her eyes still on the mirror. "He taught me control. A long while ago, in India. Before his book was published."
Mohinder's eyes widened again. "That....that was you!" he said suddenly. All of those... appointments, several times a week that he was going to..."
She nodded to him, her eyes never leaving the mirror. "Yes." she said. She paused for a long time. "Now," she began. "About my proposition..."
