Why this must be read: Timelines are delicate, squiahy things, and a Peter who can time travel could, and would, damage the timeline trying to fix things and do the right thing. Adding in a well-intentioned Mohinder and the chance of things going wrong shifts from probably to definitely.
In this dialogue heavy, cracky fic we see the escalating effects of their attempts to fix what they broke the last time they tried to fix something. And then have to try again. Angela is the perfect choice to puncture the balloon of their good intentions, so utterly unsurprised and brilliantly deadpan about it all. The whole thing is really funny and will have you snickering throughout.
PETER: “You know, you’re right. Every time I’ve tried to change things, I’ve just made them worse.”
MOHINDER: “I agree. At least in the dystopian future you prevented, I didn’t wind up in bed with Maya.”
PETER: “And whenever you’ve tried to set things right, it hasn’t gone much better.”
MOHINDER: “Ahem. Yes. Well. Let’s just skip over the times that my research benefited Sylar, all right?”
PETER: “But maybe you’re right. Maybe if we work together cautiously, maybe, just maybe, we can finally find a way to set a good course for the world! Maybe...maybe both of our wrongnesses can make a rightful future!”
MOHINDER: “Peter, are you high?”
