[ Peter destroyed everything he loved. He'd done it so much against his will that it was an established fact. He never meant to destroy the things he loved, but it was something he couldn't help, something that spun completely out of his control like a newly acquired power.
Just because he'd left Niki for her own good, didn't mean that he didn't check up on her from time to time. She never saw him, but he knew what was happening and as much as it hurt him, he wanted her to move on, wanted her to find happiness and a life that wasn't as dangerous as the one with him was bound to be.
Eventually, it became evident that she wasn't moving forward, or getting over him, or making a new, happier life. That was when he approached her in the bar one night, taking his usual seat on the end with a glass of whiskey. He watched and tried to remember that in order for one to be seen, one had to remain visible.]
