## Storyline

##### Braided Lives

During a meeting to safe Dennis Espeleta, who went missing in Kosovo during a mission, Reed Sawyer walks in telling the group that if they don't take Peter with them, it's going to be bad for one of their people. This makes Andrew Bottman, their boss, take notice and change the plans. Sending Peter, for the first time in years, on a field operation.

Reed's prediction comes out. Just before Dennis Espeleta is found, Claydon carries in Jonas Nightengale who's critically wounded. Peter has to give it all he has to keep the man stable and get him to a nearby hospital before the man dies. Exhausted by using his talent he falls a sleep on a wooden bench untill Danny wakes him up and the two of them spend the night. Danny tell's him about having problems, during a delay in O'hare, with his powers which concerns Peter. However they brush it aside and in the following month develop a friend-with-benefit kind of relationship.

Peter's concerns however seem to be valid. When he and Danny go to a Nickelback concert, Danny's behaviour seems erratic and off. When he get's him away from the big crowd, the high Danny turns into a weak, vomiting Danny. As quickly as possible, Peter takes him back to Division P where he has the change to look at him more thoroughly, coming to the conclusing that Danny is having seizure-like symptoms. It worries Peter, having lost his own father to ALS. Peter was 16 at the time and tried every day to heal is father. It cost him to much though and he fell unconscious to the floor during a math class. He was in a coma for three days, within those three days his father died.

When Danny is brought in by Jennifer Sebastiano, after she almost broke his nose during hand to hand combat, Peter jokes about her being cute. He helps her with her migraines. It's also Jennifer who calms him down when Peter hears about Danny being shot during an operation in Mississippi. The two of them end up watching a movie together and falling a sleep. Growing closer. When Danny returns, the two of them butt heads. Peter being worried and Danny refusing to admitt he needs help. It's Jennifer who cuts the tension and makes them see what they feel for each other. This makes the guy even more convinces that Jennifer should be part of their relationship. they tread lightly though.

After spending the night with Jennifer, Peter receives a phonecall about another operation going bad. Hearing what happened to Isabelle Rea, in the local hospital, he immediatly knows it's going to be bad. Wishing he would have been approached earlier. When Isabelle finally arrives at the complex he works together with Craig, the trauma surgeon, Sandra the head nurse and Trevor, another corpsman. They do eveything they can to lift off the psi-shock but it's to late and the woman dies. Peter who used up to much of his energy loses conscious for three hours. The days after are very rough, dealing with the psy-shock and feeling like he failed cost Peter a lot. Danny and Jennifer help him trough though.

Now, with Mason healed it's time to see what the doctor can do. Peter slices his own dump with a scalpel and makes Mason heal it. The man heals it and Peter praises the man, a little. He tells Danny the same, who agrees to have a conversation with the man. When he's pulled back to the infirmary when Mason is being interrogated he's furious at the treatment of the doctor. He tells Cameron to stay close to the man who's way out of his depth.

We also find out that Peter has been hinting for weeks now, to send Mason on a official assignment. When Mason does go to Philadelphia on a mission with Cameron Bradshaw and the mission goes horribly wrong. It's Peter who debriefs Mason.
