After this weeks episode, I assumed that Peter had used Hiro's power to actually teleport himself into the future to see a deserted Time Square. But another thought comes to mind. What if this is actually a different power that Peter possesses?
Remember, in Season 1, Peter had several dream experiences which seemingly predict the future, albeit not in an exact fashion like Isaac's paintings have done. The first time we see it is in the first episode, where Peter imagines he is flying through the skyscrapers of New York. We see it again in Fallout when Peter passes out only to wake up alone on the pavement in New York.
Could Peter have another, yet unknown power? If so who did he get it from? Could this be a power he got from Charles Deveaux? The first time this "power" manifests itself is when Peter is sitting by Deveaux's bedside. This power may have been used again after Peter is knocked unconscious in New York only to find himself on the Deveaux rooftop.
Again, while some may assume this is Peter teleporting and using his invisibility to hide from himself and his own mother, another possible answer is that this is some strange, yet to be talked about power. Remember, Deveaux is able to detect that Peter is there. So unless this is some new power, part of Deveaux's power must be able to detect when invisible people are around, which somehow just sounds less plausible to me than some sort of "Dreaming"power.
It would also parallel nicely the dream sequence that Peter originally had in "Fallout" which was clearly an instance of him dreaming and not an instance of him somehow teleporting himself into the future.
