Peter gets out of the car and goes over to his brother. Nathan asks what the emergency is and Peter tells him that it's Sylar who's the bomb, not him. Peter has to stop him from exploding. Or something. He tells Nathan that he knows this is a lot to process, but it's real, and they have to stop it. Hey, Peter, since Nathan knows he can fly, knows you can absorb powers, has a daughter who can regenerate, and watched Linderman make his wife walk again, I think it's safe to assume that he's already pretty damn sure all this shit is real. Nathan asks Peter what the hell he expects him to do about all this and Peter just pleads with his brother to help him. Nathan pulls Peter off into the foreground so that Claire can escape from the car and run off. There's really no other reason for this move.
Nathan tells Peter that Claire shouldn't be involved in all this because she's just a kid. Peter says that she has to stay with him because if they find Sylar and Peter can stop him and something goes wrong with Peter, Claire's the only person who can stop Peter. You get that? Nathan says that Peter will be fine and Peter looks at him like, "Wait -- you know something I don't?" Nathan, who has insider information, gets this look on his face like, "Um. Wow. I probably shouldn't have revealed that. Lemme just cover by saying that Peter can regenerate, which he totally told me, so he probably can recover from a bomb explosion." That's when Peter hears Nathan's thoughts and they say, "There's nothing you can do to stop it, Peter. They're all gonna die." Peter is horrified. He backs away from his brother. "Claire was right about you." Claire, meanwhile, has made it to an exit, but unfortunately, the Big Bad Grandmother Wolf is there to stop her. Peter turns to look for Claire and sees that she's missing. He runs after her, with Nathan following, but Peter goes invisible, leaving Nathan with no brother to chase. Peter runs out into the alley behind the garage and his hands start glowing. He hyperventilates, unable to control them. He promptly passes out, so tragedy is avoided for the time being.
