Character History
Heroes Evolutions
Slow Burn
In chapter 1 of Slow Burn, the milk can toss attendant tells Chris Bowman to ask Bo about New Orleans. When Chris goes to talk to him, he finds Bo playing multiple instruments with his power. The two friends talk, and Chris asks him if he is happy at the carnival. Bo says it is great there, and he has never been happier, because he can play his music all the time, and doesn't have to worry about hiding his ability.
When Chris asks him about New Orleans, Bo gets upset and asks who told Chris about that, but he refuses to tell. Bo says that after Hurricane Katrina, he had not been a good man and had led a criminal life. He refuses to discuss it anymore, and says the carnival is a second chance, a place to become a better person. He hands Chris a harmonica, saying music has kept him at peace no matter what, and that it could do the same for him.
In chapter 3 of Slow Burn, Chris Bowman returns to the sideshow tent to talk to Bo. Chris tells him that he has tried to play the harmonica that Bo gave him, surpising Bo. When Chris tries to aplogize for asking about Bo's past, he tells him that it is unesscary, and that he needs to learn to open up more. They move to a secluded area of the tent, and Bo bends a spoon above his head while they talk. Bo tells Chris that he lost his whole immediate family and his jazz studio to Hurricane Katrina. His cousin Lonny offered him a way to get back on his feet, and they began to rob places around New Orleans, and when his ability manifested, Lonny wanted to go after bigger targets. Bo decided he wanted to stop, and left New Orleans while Lonny robbed a Burger Bonanza. He made his way to the carnival.
Chris tells him that he understands, and Bo asks him if he has anything that he wants to get off his chest. When Chris doesn't ansewer, Bo tells him that whenever he feels like he can talk about it, he will be there. Chris gives him the description of the Watcher and asks if Bo has ever seen him. Bo says no, and is very disturbed by this, as he thought he knew all the other carnies, and tells Chris to give him a heads up if he finds him.
In chapter 7 of Slow Burn, Bo enters Samuel's tent and finds Caleb and Chris arguing. After Caleb runs away, Bo tells Chris that he has noticed that he and his family have been acting odd lately. Chris tells Bo about his past with Mary Krause and about how he let her get captured and eventually get killed. He claims that he could have done something more to help her but Bo tells him that while what he did was wrong, there is nothing he can do about it. He tells Chris that all he can do is move forward and seek redemption. Chris then tells Bo about The Watcher and Bo says that he will help him fight. He calls Chris his brother, which makes Chris feel as if he has finally connected with someone.
