About

Collision

"Hiro Nakamura" travels back in time to visit Peter Petrelli on a crowded subway in New York City. Future Hiro stops time, and converses with Peter, who appears to have also stopped time. After conversing with Peter for a moment, Hiro tells Peter that there is a message for him.

Hiros

Future Hiro and Peter are still on the subway train. Hiro tells Peter that he doesn't have a lot of time, since he's risking a rift just being there. He tells Peter the message: "Save the cheerleader, save the world." Hiro informs Peter to go see Isaac because Isaac will understand. He also tells Peter that when Present Hiro calls, Peter needs to tell Hiro where to meet.

Later, Peter heads to Isaac's studio. Peter receives Hiro's call, and tells Hiro that there is a message for him.

Better Halves

Peter delivers his message to Hiro and Ando. He tells them, "Save the cheerleader, save the world." Ando asks where the cheerleader is, but niether Peter nor Isaac know. Peter tells them about "Future Hiro" and that he was told to save the cheerleader. Peter tells the Japanese men to get to New York so they can find the cheerleader together, and then their conversation ends. Peter then fits Isaac's paintings together, realizing they're telling a story like a comic book. He and points out that there is one painting missing, which Isaac says Simone has.

Nothing to Hide

While at the Burnt Toast Diner, Hiro and Ando discuss the menu. Hiro reminds Ando that they will need their strength because they will soon meet Peter Petrelli and save the cheerleader.

Homecoming

During the Homecoming event, Sylar arrives to kill the cheerleader who has the special abilities. However, upon entering the school, he sees all the news stories regarding Jackie entering the wreckage instead of Claire and assumes that Jackie is the cheerleader he wants. When he tracks them down in the locker room, he grabs Jackie by the throat and begins to telekinetically open her skull to obtain her brain. Jackie's last word to Claire is "run..."

Claire runs into Peter in the school halls as they are pursued by Sylar. They climb up the bleachers outside of the school as Peter and Sylar fight. As Claire manages to escape, both men fall of the top of the bleachers and are severely injured. When Claire arrives, Peter manages to mimic Claire's regenerative ability to heal himself.

As she runs off, Peter calls out to Claire and asks if, in saving her, he's saved the world. She simply says, "I don't know. I'm just a cheerleader."

Fallout

Hiro and Ando discuss the message at Union Wells High School after its Homecoming disaster. Ando suggests that the message is actually two separate statements, "Save the cheerleader", then "save the world." Hiro states that the message is an "if-then" statment, not two separate statements.
