[ Whether Nathan was ever really able to get it straight was debatable. Hopefully he could get away with telling Peter it was a future that wasn't going to happen and they had other things to worry about, but it wasn't going to be something he occupied himself with right now.
They'd have time to talk about all sorts of things. Maybe Nathan would have Peter tell him again about what he'd gone through with Adam, and pretend he hadn't heard most of it before. Maybe Peter'd end up more honest about some of the stuff because of it. You never knew. They'd have most of the night. Nathan knew Peter, he knew this moment, he knew that he didn't know who to turn to and was burning up with energy and didn't know where to burn himself out, and that he damn well wouldn't sleep for hours after they both put their heads down.
Peter had been a pain in the ass that night too, out in the motel in Odessa. It had taken three days to get the right news coverage organised. They'd stepped out there--and that was the last thing Nathan remembered. ]
Of course you can, Pete. Where else are you gonna go?
