2009
Main Timeline
Date | Title | Other Participants | Summary |
---|---|---|---|
1st | Drowning Sorrows | Helena, Isabelle | Helena opts to drown her sorrows in rum and coke. Isabelle lends an ear, and Teo comes to the rescue. |
2nd | So We Fight | Elisabeth | Elisabeth Talking shop in the morning. Shop includes: a healer and the dick who keeps trying to abbreviate her head, Jimmy Fairfield's case, a missing pyrokinetic, a biomedical tech, and a certain sense of hopelessness at the unebbing flow of shit that besieges the city that's awakening around them. |
Where Do We Go | Cat | …from here? After Cat is returned by the Vanguard, her lover killed in vengeance after Teo's order to kidnap Eileen, Cat and Teo have a painful conversation. | |
Some Days You Feel Like The Bug | Alexander, Elisabeth, and Maria | Teo, Alex, and Liz run into each other at the Nite Owl, and just as they leave, Maria pops in. | |
3rd | Nothing Fancy | Abby, Dantes, Hagan, Laura, and Maria | Exactly that! Various people collide in a diner, for better or worse. Also, Hagan smiles. (Grins once.) Denies ever doing it. |
4th | Next Time | Eve | When you die they make a list / Of every love you never kissed / Of each regret and each mistake / Every choice you'll fail to make. |
Apollo Spat | Tamara | Tamara comes to give Teo a Christmas present. He ambushes her with an unspoken query. She drops THE DREADED VOLKEN's name in the context of a deal she'd made with him, much to Teo's horror, and things get twisted and blurry and begin to bleed. Title notes down there. | |
The Scars Are Merely Hidden | Alexander and Sonny | Sonny comes to do further cosmetic treatment to Alexander's scars. The landlady, a cat, and a drunken Teo walk in on shirtless touching. The landlady and cat excuse themselves while Al is a little bit of a jerk, and Teo is a raging asshole. | |
5th | Choke Chain | Abby and Deckard | Deckard lets Abby sleep off her adventure into the lion's den over at his place. She awakens when Teo arrives to find out what went on. After the telling of that enthralling story, highlighted by the temporary domestication of a psychopathic murderer and an examination of the Vanguard's loyalties to Eileen and Kazimir Volken respectively, Abby and Flint then fight very wordily about Abby's way of life, during which Teo wusses into silence. After she's gone, the boys share a few more secrets and Deckard begins to appear queasy. |
Rent Asunder | Bennet, Hana, and Helena | Helena and Teo are summoned for the sharing of information. Bennet is wanted for the same, amongst other things, and gets on the wrong side of Hana. Again. | |
6th | Yoda I Am Not | Conrad | In need of a teacher for little Colette, Teo appeals to Conrad because he has an excellent resume and is a good influence on impressionable young women with taut butts. |
Gems Of Wisdom From The Drunken Sage | Sonny and Teo | Love doctor advises patient to stop being a fuck-up otherwise consequences A through F may occur, as he has had personal experience. Love doctor is excessively drunk and influenced by recent near-death-experience at hands of Midtown bomb man and serial killer. Patient is good-natured and uncomfortable. | |
The Creeper Stare Alert | Dantes and Marla | Growing moody in isolation, Dantes heads out of the loft for a night of drinking and staring creepily at people who pass through Old Lucy's. He finds a few familiar faces. | |
7th | Choosing Your Enemies | Dantes, Eileen, Sylar and Teo | A SPECTACULARLY UNLIKELY CONVERGENCE OF ALLIES. |
If The Light Fails | Tamara | Tamara's leap of faith lands her bloodied and exhausted in the Cathedral. She chooses to take another, when Teo comes with questions about birds, beauty, bridges, and other things that alliterate but are better left unmentioned. | |
Scorched Earth Policy | Ben, Cat, Conrad, Edward, and Helena | The probability predictor has finished as much of his math as he can. He calls a meeting with Phoenix to let them know what's been done and what needs to be done, before he open the floor for discussion. Fire and explosives bear mentioning, and teams begin to form. | |
Heal The Body, Heal The Soul | Abby, Helena and Teo | In which Abby heals Helena's body, unexpectedly the woman's soul, Teo sits and tries to keep from imploding and Abigail starts to prepare herself for what might the ultimate test of her faith. | |
Footservants and Family | Alexander and Lucrezia | When Teo's aunt drops in for a surprise visit, she finds more than just family afoot. | |
8th | Say It Like You Mean It | Alexander and Sonny | The Love Doctor would like to apologize for his unprofessional conduct (re: being utterly shitfaced) during their last session. Patient points out the Love Doctor seems like he could use a head doctor and offers general help. The answer is a haggard No. Alexander comes in in time for Teo to tell him a reasonable facsimile of the truth. It's all downhill from there. |
Almost Ash | Christian, Dantes and Minea | Dantes nearly dies of a motherfucking swordfight with Kazimir. Who you gonna call? | |
9th | Totally Fucked | Alexander, and Lucrezia | Love's the boy stood on the burning deck … |
The Presence of Angels | Teo | Other people prefer to pray. Follows The Silence of the Angels. | |
Alike | Hana and Teo | A romantically distraught Teo asks questions and draws conclusions. Hana shares another slice of her life's history. No one gets hurt, for once. Work offers some kind of sanctuary. | |
10th | Retched | Sonny | Sonny's very bad, no good week is coming to an end. Hopefully. |
Chivalry Is Dead | Sonny | But reanimated. Zombie chivalry. The metaphor works on a number of intriguing levels: Sonny has recently risen by the time Teo finds him, and Teo is subtly (at first, then less subtly) thirsty for blood. Nothing helps a bad mood like spreading it around. The offer of a million dollar apartment to bunk in, temporarily, doesn't hurt either, although first Sonny warrants scolding for not realizing he, too, has decency and sizeable brass ones. | |
12th | Let Me Show You Around | Ben and Helena | Helena gives Ben a tour of the dispensary. Teo shows up with a proposal. |
Circling The Powderkeg | Anne | Anne and Teo go looking for bombs attached to bridges. Bonding time on the front lines against the apocalypse. | |
The Enemy Of My Enemy... Ain't My Friend | Jessica | A Company operative and one of Phoenix's have a small number of professional and personal differences to snarl through before joining forces against Kazimir Volken becomes a realistic possibility. Which it doesn't. Become a realistic possibility. | |
13th | Muster II | Abby, Christian, Deckard, Felix, Minea, and Sonny | A little healing, a little art, a little bit of rising from the dead, and then the medics are out and the soldiers sit to talk war. |
By The Way | Deckard | Post-meeting, Deckard informs Teo that the bogeyman (read: Ethan) reoccurred in his life and wants to talk to Helena, Or Else, effectively proving that no news is occasionally good news while reaffirming that any news he has to share is almost always terrible news. Depressing speculation about coups, probabilities, and the possibility of an inevitable future follows. | |
14th | To Die At Sea | Edward and Gillian | Gillian arrives at the former Phoenix HQ, and she finds herself becoming the uncomfortable focus of one Doctor Edward Ray, who sees something he shouldn't have. Teo arrives in the midst of this, with a list. |
Apologies, Anger, and Audacity | Elisabeth | Elisabeth stops by the library to tender her apologies to Teo for outing him … and learns her own attempts were useless anyway. Additional information is exchanged, rage diverted into public safety concerns, and light teasing. | |
Out Of The Devil's Water | Sonny | Swimming brings solace. Tequila, less. | |
Alpha | Helena | Phoenix's co-leaders powwow about the Vanguard's 'Ethan,' Jessica Sanders, and the former President-elect. Hel's feeling a little crushed, Teo ever so slightly angry. Jointly, their cynicism converges on something useful. | |
Move Away | Abby and Alexander | In light of recent 'security issues' — that is, Jessica and the Vanguard ripping through healers in search of Phoenix or vice versa — changes need to be instituted. Abby plans to move out alone. Debate ensues. The roommates do end up divided and at peace, though not in the configuration they saw coming. | |
Nothing Now | Felix | Who's the one who's supposed to be here with you right now? | |
15th | Said The Spider | Eileen and Lucrezia | In all of his magnificent ignorance, Teo comes to save his aunt. Eileen imagines herself a new enemy, and Lucrezia recalls… something. |
16th | Failure To Communicate | Abby and Vinnie | Ethan is trying to send Deckard a message about sending Helena a message. What starts out as a brief notice of intent extends into a clumsy and somewhat more comprehensive exploration of the list of things you can do to a guy without killing him. |
17th | Turning Inward | Eve, Hana, and Sonny | When healing Teo's new injuries conflicts with old surgery, the Ferry is there for him. They bring dark dreams, good drugs, and a certain sense of safety. |
The Wyse Seyth | Sonny | Whenever one steps forward, the other steps back. | |
19th | Your Invitation | Hana | Twenty bruises later, Teo asks Hana to the Prom. |
Our Lady Of The Capricious | Lucrezia and Eileen | It isn't gossip if it is between family, and it promptly transmutes to something else when an erstwhile ally — enemy? — literally bursts out of the boudoir door. | |
White Knight | Deckard | Once upon a time they slayed dragons and saved princesses. Now they make sure bitter old drunk cowards don't freeze to death in graveyards. There's a glory deficit these days, see. | |
Keystrokes | Matt, Sabra, andMontag | Every bridge from Manhattan is set to detonate in a terrorist attack unlike any other. A series of e-mails bounces across the internet from one terminal to another, and time-sensitive events are set into motion. | |
20th | A Morning Flotilla | Abby | Boats cover a portion of the floor and a pact to carry on with life, as if it isn't ending is made. Custody of Pila is discussed. |
Disturbingly Human | Sonny | Ironically enough, promising to live leads to identically erratic (stupid) behavior as preparing to die, but for the addition of a certain sense of 'to be continued' and a little less necessary reliance on whiskey. | |
21st | Caffeine | Felix | Is a learning aide, comes in disposable receptacles, kindles a useful buzz, doesn't last. |
Undefined | Sonny | 'Be with me.' | |
Heartache | Alexander | They've had this conversation before, 'Let's be friends.' Previous practice doesn't improve on either form or outcome. There's a little deflection, a lot of humiliation, and no sex. | |
Unpardoned | Sonny | Six hours late for dinner, Teo comes 'home.' | |
22nd | Instead Of Egypt | Christian and Teo | In which Christian talks about the next month as if they have more than two weeks left and Teo feels better. |
How Bad | Abby, Brian, Deckard, and Leah | Somebody's gone and broken Deckard again. Leah too, this time. Teo leads Brian and Abby in to do damage control and gets about 10% of the truth behind what happened for his efforts. | |
Deserted | Minea | A great mystery surrounds the latest misdemeanors which have ripped Phoenix's four ragtag allies apart. Teo confronts Minea about her professional conduct, during which her professional conduct is good despite the fact she discovers a new knife in her back. | |
23rd | Closer And Still Holding | Elisabeth | Title refers to At Arm's Length And Holding. Wherein Liz and Teo share a little more mutual understanding of what's going on in each others' lives, and it doesn't get any easier. |
Good Dogs | Deckard | Either that, or 'cat herding.' | |
Prelude to Armageddon, Part IV | Abby, Alexander, Brian, Cat, Deckard, Edward, Elvis, Felix, Gillian, Helena, Minea, Monica, and Ygraine | Phoenix and its allies gather together to hear Doctor Edward Ray's plan to prevent the end of the world. | |
Meet James Stutzman | Deckard and Edward | Didn't you know? Edward has a plan. … D8;;; | |
You Meant Never | Hana | Well, she didn't say she'd never leave. | |
24th | Vespertine | Eve and Teo | Commiseration in the dark. |
The Holy Fucking Grail | Sonny | No means no, and there are no take-backs. Damn it. | |
25th | Eurotrash | Sacha and Teo | The term is accurate and uncomplicated and carries appropriately tawdry connotations. |
Backpedal | Sonny and Teo | Sonny has decided to break up with Teo. That and other healthy decisions inevitably yield to deflected guilt trips and toxic anger, and they crawl around full circle. | |
26th | Strings Attach Themselves | Sonny and Teo | The same conflict continues in embryonic, not-quite-actualized proto-arguments, though this time, Teo gets to see the view from the other side of the glass. It makes him frown. And it gets worse. |
Mad House Party | Abby, Alexander, Amato, Helena and Lucrezia | The Vanguard and Phoenix have a party. I'm not even shitting you. A worthy explanation: blame it on Abigail Beauchamp. | |
Craquelure | Amato, Lucrezia and Teo | After Mad House Party, a trio of hopelessly flawed people have a long overdue conversation… too late? | |
Weezyanna | Abby and Teo | Teo asks permission to institute a safeguard, which includes needles and an escape option. Discussion of Italy, Louisiana, boats, broken hearts and kudzu carry them through the night. | |
27th | All God's Children Are Evil | Amato and Teo | In which Amato and Teodoro talk about everything from sin to virtue, angels to demons, Alexander, Eileen, and Lucrezia, and agree about only one thing alone. |
Bad Terms | Alexander and Teo | To part on. Fortunately, they don't just yet. | |
Sufferance | Felix and Teo | Sorry, Felix, but if Teo were one to get the Hell out when he should, he'd be halfway to the moon by now. | |
28th | The Parting Glass | Alexander and Teo | The world is about to end. Not circumstances under which you're allowed to leave a friendship fucked up beyond recognition. Teo brings his manners and a syringe of better health. Alexander makes impossible inquiries and breakfast. |
Endgame - To Die At Sea | Brian, Deckard, Hana, Monica, and Rico | Phoenix's operatives, along with Hana Gitelman and Flint Deckard infiltrate the Invierno to put a stop to the Vanguard's release of the virus. | |
Almost | None | They say your whole life flashes before your eyes, but Teo only gets through about 20% of it before everything goes black. | |
Assume the Worst | Abby and Deckard | Not long after being dumped out on a chopper on Staten Island, Deckard finds himself back at a familiar dumpster without knowing how he got there. Teo and Abigail are there too, except that they aren't, because they're probably dead. | |
29th | Not A Cyborg Anymore | Abby, Sonny and Teo | Abigail and Salvatore put Humpety-Dumpety back together again. |
Giving Back A Cat One Life | Abby and Felix | Then Abby helps Felix— former Dantes— out, too. |

Date | Title | Participants | Summary |
04/08 | And Lethe Sings Reminisce | Alexander | The ghost of Alexander proves tactile and tangible when Teo comes in search of a reunion. |
2008
December | Title | Summary |
1st | Matters Of Security | Phoenix talks shop. Shop has lots of money. |
2nd | Dearest Daddy Deckard | Searching for Deckard, Munin bumps into Brian and Teo. Erstwhile unsuspecting enemies begin to suspect, and a haphazard plan falls into place. |
Upside Down | In the hours between contacting his mentor and meeting her, Teo finds the time to try to explain some things to Alexander. And get trapped on a set of monkey bars. | |
Flex Your Trigger-finger | Unable to let the opportunity slide, Teo asks Hana if they should kidnap the little girl. One of those questions that make you feel terrible because you already know the answer. | |
Kidnap The Girl, Save The World | At the cost of a savaged eyeball, a bloody nose, and a bloody wall. | |
3rd | Prisoner Of War | Regrouping at a Ferrymen safehouse, Abby is called to heal the injured and the captive is transitions between terror and fury. |
Real Friends Help You To | Christian needs some help with falsifying his FBI friend's death. Teo obligingly aids and abets murder. Apparently, it's good to have friends on the right side of the law. | |
4th | Mystery, Babylon The Small | Bird and boy play a disturbing game of cat and mouse. |
The Surly Jerks | Hagan meets Alexander and Teo at a bar and thinks they are superheroes. Which is funny maybe because it's true and also because it's ugly. Kidnap the girl, save the world. | |
5th | Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes | Teo and Deckard talk about hookers, hygiene, plastic surgery, lost causes, and finally also Phoenix. In due accordance with the holiday season, they circle dangerously close to sentimental territory before fucking off. |
6th | Coffee and Changeling | Abby calls in a panic about Sylar. Owen is asked to haze him because that isn't Sylar. |
7th | 2.5 Inches of Steel | Cat and mouse escalates; suddenly, there's an assload of Brian and blood. |
Price Of Blood | In which Abby thinks kidnapping the girl was retarded until Teo reminds her about the saving the world part. He also fountains blood until she plugs it with her finger. Literally. Physically. Biologically. Unattractively. | |
More Than Names | Alexander is interrupted taking back what Teo lost with interest. Teo offers Munin painkillers and a deal. | |
A New Warden | Niki lays out the plan as Abby's relays what it is that she can do and how. Rules are hammered out and Teo's contacted regarding part of his missing flock. Everyone threatens everyone else, while Abby remains a model prisoner. WORK, WORK, WORK. | |
How The Cracks Begin To Show | Members of Phoenix (Alexander, Brian, Elvis, Helena, and Teo) crack in different ways from the pressure. (IS TOO MUCH WORK.) | |
Safe House | Teo and Conrad pay a visit to Elisabeth and make her come and hide in a safehouse so Jessica won't kidnap her too. She offers resistance. | |
December 9th | Schaedenfreud | Teo meets Miles at Exotica to discuss matters of recruiting only to find that he's using and abusing Deckard's body. He is not pleased. Not to be deterred, Deckles informs Pam that he is actually a murdering arsonist psychopath after all and that's just how he is so she shouldn't hate on him for it. In light of this line of behavior Teo decides it might be wise to take things outside, so they do, only Deckard manages to @boot Miles out of his body right about then and the clusterfuck squares itself with the addition of one really angry man and two guns. Once that little disagreement has been sorted out at gunpoint, Teo drags Deckard off to take the bus home, only to be pursued by Dantes all the way into another scene that I will post later. Whew. |
Deckard Ex Machina | After being discovered on Deckard and Teo's trail just outside of the safehouse, Dantes makes a run for it. One retarded chase scene later, Deckard has to shoot at everyone and out himself as a rat to keep Teo from caving the Fed's face in. THE THINGS HE DOES FOR PEOPLE. | |
12th | Seek Higher Ground | In which some deeply regretted errors make Alexander get monstrous and Teo more determined not to be. Peace and friendship guys. :/ |
Critiques On The Art Of Negotiation | Helena opens the floor to Phoenix and Hana, regarding what to do about the hostage situation with Eileen in captivity— now that the Vanguard has captured Danielle and Cat in retaliation. | |
Ongoing Negotiations | 24 hours passes and as promised, Niki calls Teo, while Abby and Alexander listen in. For good or bad, nothing progresses on either side, and Abby's bid to be chained in someplace other than the bedroom fails. | |
Olive Branch | Teo gives it one more go; this time, he gets some results. | |
Crossing Phonelines | Ethan speaks to Munin, and Helena speaks to Cat. | |
Crossing Phonelines | In which a Federal agent (Christian) and a terrorist (y.t.) try not to mix business with friendship while they sit around among military munitions stores and on top of each others' bleeding and abducted coworkers. | |
Exit Wound | Hana and Teo take Dantes around to the back of the chemical shed and shoot him in the head. let Dantes go. | |
Now You See Me | Teo needs Deckard to make a decision about Dantes, like, right now. Disinclined to be rash, Deckard seeks a private audience with the Fed. In the end it all boils down to a matter of trust. | |
11th | Vendetta | Teo tells Helena that their erstwhile leader, Cameron, died at Kazimir's hand and Phoenix's motivations become that much less pure. |
12th | More Dysfunctional Than You | Christian wins a bike race! Teo struggles with how to treat him now they're known buddy-buddy Fed and terrorist. Christian gets a box of radios from Deckard and wants a bunch of stuff that explodes for Christmas. Teo finally makes verbal diarrhea about his big gay crush. This lengthy conversation is necessarily fueled by caffeinated tea. |
13th | Have To Be | Wireless and Teo talk about the sundry ways in which they, the collective world, is fucked, the gotta dos and ignore the can'ts. Among them, a waif, a dead man, and one who should have been by now. |
14th | Breathe Her | It's kind of a pun on 'breather' because I'm terribly uninspired but that's what this is. An interlude of some kind. Eve finds the kid from Sicily and offers Phoenix her gun arm for when shit gets heavy. For the duration of this scene, however, things stay light, including the details on Volken and, uh, kisses. |
14th | Old Faithful | Abby asks Teo to come for her, which he does. They proceed to talk about — or around — recent events and the people entangled in them. |
15th | Skinned | A Ferryman gets mauled by a truck and requires superpowered assistance from two who can offer it: Sonny and Abby. Duty done, they leave when Deckard and Teo talk about hookers. Afterward, talking about hookers and instead about her, sex, not having sex, and who's worse off, or something awkwardly like empathy. |
16th | Or Bury Your Head | Pam is owed an explanation. She receives more and less than she wanted to hear, which is unavoidably what happens when you gossip about Miles and Deckard. You know that time she mentioned trusting him? Things change. Hard to tell what, exactly. |
A Caricature Of Vigilantism | Hagan is mugged and rescued by an unexpected retinue of very violent Evolved: Isabelle, Alexander and Teo. | |
Mostly Harmless | In which Alexander is a tease and Teo is virtuous and the holy holiday spirit pervades above a busted lip and $300 of stolen cash. | |
17th | Spy Versus Spy | In which Christian points a gun at Felix for pointing a gun at Teo who's doing so because Teo shot him down in Brooklyn once, and nobody knows who everybody is except for the one who is too paranoid to stay. |
Finder's Fee | After muggers steal Irish Hagan's wallet, Italian Teo comes to return it. $50 and coffee subsequently change hands, and institutionalized/commercialized America receives equal amounts of love and hate over the course of the conversation. | |
A Night In | A night at the apartment with Abby and Alexander leads to many topics of conversation, a perpetually Italian speaking Teo that no one understands, and a Disney movie. | |
18th | Fools, Drunkards And Children | Dixon, Dantes and Teo meet at a bar. One of these men fits none of those three categories, and one of them fits all three. A bouncer talks to two bar patrons. One of said patrons ultimately winds up asking the other one if he needs help. The question itself is not ironic, but a lot of things about the circumstances otherwise probably are; grimly. |
20th | Licking the Wound | The events following the Vanguard attack on President-Elect Rickham continue to unravel into an unexpected series of events, ones that Edward Ray very carefully assesses. Which is to say the near-assassinated politician is bleeding out of his asshole, Abby's fixing him, Cat's frowning and Matt is concerned. |
21st | In The Foxhole | One may discuss LMGs, old battles, and what one's going to do afterward, but not politics. With Christian, anyway. |
In Or Out | Deckard, quite drunk, yells at Teo a lot about how stupid he is then asks him for direction in his life. Teo does the best he can considering he is not exactly being given fantastic material to work with, here. He is a trooper. Also: a penis is happy and Merry Christmas. | |
23rd | Redcrosse In The Cave of Despair | The title's literary reference just means that one Jesse Alexander Knight is found holed up and comatose underground after three days of absence. BUT DON'T WORRY GUYS Abby will fix it. |
Blood Loss | Abby repairs Al's comatose self and speculates on the extent and nature of his bizarre injuries, and Helena and Teo handle the logistics of further medical treatment to supplement what Abby's ability is incapable of healing. Eventually, the crowd trickles out to leave the recently bereaved alone with one of the men responsible for her loss. | |
24th | Like This | Colette returns to St. John's Cathedral to volunteer on Christmas Eve, but the presence of Abby sets off an argument between her and Trent, while Cat grieves and Teodoro tries to help out. |
Becoming | Colette and Teo do hang-out-times! Two disenchanted residents of Manhattan see about reenchanting their respective Christmasses, asking for help and granting it. Which is one definition of grace, probably, but catastrophically awkward in every other sense. Directly follows Like This. | |
It's A Wonderful Life | Helena makes it a white Christmas, and muses with Elvis on how different their lives might have been. | |
25th | La Vigilia di Natale | What with nearly having had her head chopped in half and all that, Abby's Christmas Eve is somewhat less festive than the fete she had been preparing and buying groceries for. Her roommate — the one who isn't in a coma — comes to accompany her, because staring at the one who was in a coma was kind of creepy. And he was worried. For what turns out to be good reason. |
26th | Neither Friend Nor Foe | Abby, Brian and Deckard go out for a walk in the park and hot dogs. In addition to hot dogs, they find Eileen busking badly with some grackles. In return, all of them are discovered by Tamara and Teo. Abby is mad at Brian, Brian is mad at Abby, Deckard and Teo, and Eileen is mad at Phoenix. Lots of people are mad for various reasons. Much awkwardness ensues. |
27th | Float On | Giving the Cliffside Apartments rooftop a rest just this once, Christian meets Teo in the ruins of Midtown. Where he then gives him an awesome bag of swag, including the first boat of the beginning of a Christmas collection. A selfish jerk, it takes Teo about two seconds to accept ALL OF IT for his own. 'Float On' is a very good Modest Mouse song. |
28th | Hatching Dawn | In the smaller hours of morning, one baby Phoenix, Anne, emerges into the clumsy care of one co-leader, Teo. She finds Elisabeth familiar face in the ranks. They discuss a former Evolved high school student who landed himself in jail, The Ferry, super powers, Registration, Teo's lack of boobies, and related topics like that. |
Dead Passerine Express | Apparently Deckard has taken up assisted skydiving and recruitment work for Phoenix as well as Manhattan's other latest sport: killing pigeons. Except not exactly! Teo arrives in time to be a conciliatory chauffeur who otherwise cruelly denies Flint a nap on the way over. They gossip about a lot of good-looking Evolved girls they both know, but not exactly like that, either. | |
29th | Not Purgatory | On the business half of the program, Dantes could use more help staying dead — as well as keeping an eye on the living ones he'd left. After that, Teo tries to turn some inescapable intimacy issue into a forgettable sexual mistake, which probably wouldn't take a decade and a half of cop training to see through. Bad decision time is all the time, and while nothing goes especially well, it goes. |
30th | No Right To Complain | Teo drags himself home after his experiment, finds Alexander having an amazingly ordinary morning, and stews in toxic guilt and secrecy for all of about ten minutes before spilling his guts in the temporary delusion that none of it would matter to his friend anyway. He's wrong! Gayyyy. |
Swimming With Sharks | Teo does. The shark does a lot of circling, but doesn't bite. Today. (HANA HAS HARD TEETH THANK GOODNESS) |
November | Title | Summary |
1st | The Other Tiger | Despite his earlier denial to her brother, recent events and suspicions prompt Teo to stalk Mallory all the way to the library. |
2nd | Around The World In 80 Boxcars | The PHOENIX emblem is sent rolling cross-country via train car. In the meantime, Abby's spirits rise, and Teo and Alexander's tempers clash. |
3rd | Of Intimacy And Such | Eve sings beautifully. |
All She Wants To Do Is Dance | Helena, on the other hand, prefers to dance. Needs to. Kain insists on briefly bringing business to the table, and Hana and the PHOENIX boys help to redirect her evening. | |
Out Of The Fire, Into The Doghouse | Just out of the club, Al and Teo run into a former _company prisoner, now suit-clad, who recognizes Alex's voice. Practical paranoia leads to comedic insanity. | |
4th | Featherlight | Teodoro's little pet bird Pila suffers mysterious symptoms. Fortunately for him, Pam From The Animal Shelter has a PhD in awesome. |
Signal To Noise | Seventy feet above Harlem, Teo meets Christian. He's reminded of an old favorite Bible verse, sparks a new interest in radio, and gets a Fed's business card. | |
5th | The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe | A less than romantic supper with Alexander at The Nite Owl is interrupted by various civilians who noisily identify various Phoenix members and enough witnesses to make a body nervous. |
6th | Gutterball | Bowling goes sour when the Vanguard murder a Registered Evolved in the name of PARIAH — or Phoenix. |
Connections | Debriefing the rest of the mob about the bowling alley, some new introductions are made and speculations segue into plans. | |
7th | For Lack Of Zombies | Tense and restless, Teo decides to leave his new Fed a voicemail message about learning ham radio. Instead, he gets said Fed armed and alarmed on his doorstep. |
After Naivete | Reawakening from a coma, Teo checks in on Abby. Discovers she was exhausted from healing a stranger on behest of Alex, who's gone quiet. And there's a surprise in her purse. | |
Bugger | Though personally boned, Teo rallies help from Cat to guard Abby and spread the word, then starts to look for Wireless, ghost in the machine. | |
8th | The Reason For The Name | 'Wireless.' Meeting Hana proves to be a paradox of anxiety-inducing and deeply comforting. She's that kind of competent. |
The Murderer or the Madman | Christian and Teo have a little tiff about terrorists. No actual alliteration involved. | |
Two Years Gone | Cantankerous from the tense little tiff, Teo goes to St. John's Cathedral for the memorial service of the midtown explosion. PARIAH crashes it. Elisabeth lends him bodily protection. | |
Don't Shoot The Messenger | Regrouping after the cathedral incident, Teo and Hana wind up trying to comfort Helena, until Eve comes as the bearer of shitty news and Abby returns after her bug fluster. | |
10th | Being Thirteen | Elisabeth was an ex-cop the last time they met. This time, teachers talk of growing up, growing old, staying alive, or nothing in particular. |
11th | Clusterfuck | Deckard is caught in the midst of grave-robbing by Simon and guns are reluctantly drawn, before Abby creates a diversion, drawing more earnest aim, and Teo dives in to hit people with his face. It's hard out there for a pimp. |
12th | Reunions | Alexander is back! And they have a new kid, terrifying news regarding Sylar, fresh sandwiches. And Alexander is back! So Teo punches him. |

The Morality Police Have Left The Building | Tensions run wildly among the Phoenix faction as the moral and political correctness of boob jobs and attitudes toward it are discussed, in addition to lesbians, at Piccoli's Delicatessen. | |
15th | Clinch | Teo's birthday. More 'nothing in particular occurs,' like a disastrous effort to get into Alexander's pants. |
16th | Terror At Tea-time | Abby, Grace and Teo discuss Miracles, then Alexander drive-by boozehounds, and PARIAH interrupts by exploding the adjacent district with bombs. |
17th | Twice Bitten | Once again, with feeling. Or at least, more curse words. |
18th | The Return Of Xerxes | Teo's Fed has a present for him. It's big, hard, and goes really fast. |

Does Not Want | Ben, another Phoenix prospect rejects the club, while Samir is welcomed into the middle of a conversation about upcoming projects. | |
This Way | — is easier. Teo apologizes to Alexander for the blue balls They agree to be friends. Not that they weren't. Working relationship and shit. You know. And they'll be moving in together. With Abby. Yep. No problem. | |
20th | ELVIS LIVES! | Despite a 180 MPH bike crash, thanks to Abby, Teo, and a bottle of smelling salts. |

23rd | Witness Protection: It Sucks | The only lead they have on the men framing PARIAH just happens to be a man who asked Conrad to save him from them. Teo engineers a thing. It works. It is not terribly appreciated. |
Quiet Now | Boys do cry. It's pretty gross! Luckily, Al doesn't judge. | |

25th | Late | Teo sees a priest about a bird. Which isn't a metaphor for crisis of faith, though there's a little bit about that, and a homocidal sociopath. |
Knitting Needle Stab Wounds | Claire denies PARIAH's involvement in the high school bombing— or rather, confirms the lack thereof. Then they talk sex, betrayal, and yarn work. | |
Why | In which Deckard and Teo tool around for half an hour talking about motivations, trying to convince each other they ain't soft. | |

The Wrong Fed | Christian is depressed after a bad date, then extremely surprised when Abby whips her healing out on him. Teo stands around looking generally horrified and useless. | |
29th | Where The Bear Shits | Depressed after the death of one of his clones, Brian requires therapy. Where pie and beer fail to work, Hagan's fisticuffs and Ben's sardonic input succeed. Teo gets his nose broke s'more. |
A Modicum Of Trust | Brian asks Teo not to ask. | |

At Arm's Length And Holding | Eileen unsuspectingly crosses paths with unsuspecting enemies, Abby is a dear, and Teo encourages a Phoenix prospect to pimp-slap her boyfriend for infantilizing her. |
October | Title | Summary |
12th | Big Rumble In Little Harlem | Teo literally bumps into a former student, Simon, walking around a pretty bad part of town in some really nice clothes. He intervenes in the would-be mugging and gets kneed in the jewels for his trouble. |
13th | Natural History Meets Evolution | Taking a first-over at one of PARIAH's prospective new homes, Eve and Teo are attacked by a squatter who might well be crazier than the seer herself. |

18th | Fiat Lux | A day spent renovating PARIAH's abandoned tunnel ends long past dark, on a gloomy note. Deciding Alexander is due a little light in two meanings of the word, Teo is a dork. |

Take No Prisoners | Abby shows the rest of the class what happens when a PARIAH agent forgets the password when encountering Trask on sentry duty. When the threats and terror abate, a whole lot of foot-in-mouth ensues. Homophobia for the lose. | |
28th | Unrecorded | Teodoro lurks outside the Linderman building to catch Alexander and apologize for freaking. Spotting Mallory with Diego, he also begins to suspect the Allistair siblings and Stillwater are verging on PARIAH's doorstep. |
29th | Dayhawks | Teo drops by the Nite Owl to give Abby an assignment from Helena, and unwittingly meets a Company trainee, Heather. |
