[edit] 1961
A young Angela and Alice Shaw, along with their mother and father, were imported into a concentration-camp like facility run by the government and Doctors Chandra Suresh and Zimmerman. The facility was called Coyote Sands. The facility's directors claimed that they could 'cure' evolved humans of their abilites. It appeared as though Alice did not know that she had an ability until later as she thought about it, but the Shaw family had been moved to the facility to cope with Angela's precognitive dreams.
Telling her younger sister to pack things that she would need such as clothing, Angela opened Alice's suitcase to reveal stuffed animals and books such as 'Alice in Wonderland'.
Upon meeting the young Bob Bishop, Charles Deveaux and Daniel Linderman, Angela was asked to tell her sister a lie so that she and the young men could escape the facility. Alice believed her sister and waited for her return. Angela had informed the young men that she had a dream and warned against trusting Suresh.
While Angela was gone however, Dr. Suresh came for Alice to run some tests. He began the testing, but Alice's ability to control the weather went out of control. She escaped Suresh, but he followed her outside, where the wind was going rampant. Suresh then proceeded to slap Alice across the face to calm her down, but that made things worse. Mr. Shaw, Angela and Alice's father, had witnessed the slapping and used his unknown power to strike down Suresh. Just then, an armed guard shot Mr. Shaw and he fell over. Alice ran and hid under a small building while the weather raged on and the guards began to open fire on the evolved humans and vice versa.
Angela's dream was right, but as she said, 'open to interpretation.'
[edit] Coyote Sands (Present)
Angela dreamt of her sister and her family at Coyote Sands. She had thought that Alice died. During a conversation with Claire Bennet, a door began to shake violently due to the wind. Angela instantly knew it was Alice because she had seen the door in her dream.
Angela then proceeded to run outside to find Alice and then disappeared for a bit. Apparently, Angela had been knocked out and Alice had taken her back to where she had been living for fifty years. Alice had stayed in Coyote Sands, stealing to survive for a long time.
When she awoke, Angela was alone. Alice soon entered toting some canned food. Angela tried speaking with Alice, and finally got through to her. Alice called Angela her pet name for her; Banana.
During their conversation, Angela revealed that she had lied to Alice, who seemed somewhat emotionally unstable. Alice became very angry, upsetting the weather. Mohinder Suresh entered the area where Angela and Alice were talking, followed by Peter Petrelli. Mohinder tried to calm Alice down so that the weather would stop raging. A Suresh telling Alice to calm down triggered bad memories and a lightning bolt came crashing right into Mohinder, knocking him out by tossing him several feet.
Angela persisted in trying to calm her sister down but to little avail. Angela told Alice that Peter was her nephew in hopes that she would calm her storm and it worked but Alice was still upset.
Alice was near an exit and Angela had thought that she had her sister calmed so she said "Say goodnight, Alice" and Alice simply said "No." She then exited the building and vanished.
