[ There were some things about his life, his family in specific that were harder to deal with than others, no matter who he complained to and no matter what he tried to say in defense. It didn't even help that he'd been through this before, and the last time it had been the entirety of New York city. He'd been in the paper, Nathan Petrelli's crazy little brother, but isn't it so great that he cares enough not to abandon him in these hard times?
Peter supposed part of it had to do with disliking being called crazy, but it was that Nathan did it to make himself seem better. It was what everyone did. Nathan had never needed help in that category and feeling like a stepping stool just made Peter feel even less important. When that's all it had ever been about -- wanting to be something.
At the sound of footsteps, Peter jerks his attention upwards, not exactly wanting to have an audience to his brooding. Seated near one of the clusters of plants on the floor, Peter's quick to push himself to his feet once he sees who is company actually is, not exactly needing to feel any smaller than he already does. ]
