'Save the salesman'?
Not quite as catchy as cheerleader, but still...
It's good to see Gabriel as one of the Heroes, but what's his ability? Is he a sponge like Peter?

Save the salesman, save the world? We saving them from Claude or something? Is NYC still gonna go boom? Oh, and I really like researchassistant!Brian Davis.

Very handsome start to an intriguing AU. I look forward to more.

XD Nice twist! “Save the salesman, save the world!”

Nicely done UH!

It is interesting to see the parallells taking place in the alternate universe. In this story with Sylar not being evil, yet Hiro still visits Peter and Issac painted a disturbing vision of the future. I am assuming the painting was of Ted and Hana. Only in Issac's vision Ted is going to shoot HRG when Sandra comes home from the hospital?

I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

What a very clever and interesting deviation from the Heroes' canon! I'm certainly intrigued by the AU storyline and would like to read more about Gabriel Gray's incarnation in this universe. It seems that he also possesses an absorbtion ability.

Could it be that his Chandra Suresh did not shun him and decided to work with Gabe some more to discover his true potential? It sure appears that way.

Anyway, I hope you continue this. You've got the makings of an excellent fic!

Cheers,

Ok, you've got me hooked. Interesting concept!

Great start! I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!
