They did not die because Hiro bent time to stop their deaths. Since he was in an alternate time when Peter was doing his mass tattoo-removal, that's why he kept his tattoo. Clever use of his powers to prevent poor Micah from losing his parents. Again.
By the by BrightEyed Jill, you did do a really good job on trying to finish all the separate threads of your story. And you were frugal in not following every single one to the end, which I think made for a stronger narrative. Yeah, you could have wrapped up every single thing neatly, but that would have made for an epilogue as long as the previous two chapters combined. So yay for focusing on those we had the most investment in! :-)
