Six Months Ago

At Jessica’s grave Niki tells D.L. that Hal is back. They decide to have him over for dinner. At dinner, D.L. jokes that if Hal were trying to make up for the past by giving Micah a computer, he was skimping. D.L. then tells Niki that she is doing great (confronting her father). When Hal yells at Micah, D.L. intervenes and physically intimidates Hal.

Fallout

D.L. phases to avoid a bullet.

Jessica's first shot hits D.L. in the shoulder, but by the time she is able to fire a second shot, he has phased, and the bullet passes through him harmlessly. D.L. grabs Micah and the money and runs off into the woods. He shrugs off his jacket and leaves it on a branch, carefully backtracking through his footprints to throw off pursuers.

Micah tells him that it couldn't have been the police. They find a locked cabin, and D.L. phases inside to open the lock. As Micah continues to insist that it's Jessica, not Niki, who is responsible, D.L. blacks out from his wound.

Following Micah's cries for help, Jessica arrives at the cabin, pretending to be Niki, but D.L. is ready for her. He hits her with a shovel and she picks him up and hurls him aside. When Jessica hurts Micah, Niki is able to regain control, and she apologizes to D.L. and Micah.

D.L. decides to take everyone to a hotel, but when he stops to assist a fallen Micah, Niki leaves the money and slips off. He watches helplessly as she turns herself in to a Utah highway patrolman for murder.

Godsend

D.L. gives the money to Linderman's accountant, Aron Malsky. When D.L. asks if this is the last time they will contact each other, Aron responds no and that Linderman will demand a service to be done at a later date.

Later, D.L. and Micah visit Niki in jail. D.L. phases through the glass between them to hold his wife's hand.

The Fix

D.L. feels financially pressed; his fiscal responsibilities weigh heavily on him, and strain his relationship with Micah, who had gotten into a fight over some kids calling his mother a "psycho".

He visits Niki in her padded room, and expresses his concerns. He hopes to get Niki out, but Niki refuses, fearful of Jessica coming out. Niki tells him that D.L. must be strong for them, and he reluctantly leaves without her.

D.L. becomes concerned when Micah has been missing for hours, and demands for an explanation when he returns. Micah simply explains that he had been walking around. Frustrated, D.L. tells him that they need to work together; Micah agrees in an interesting way, hinting at his power and revealing a bag full of money.

Graphic Novel:Bully

D.L. notices a mark on Micah's face and asks him if he was in a fight. He tells Micah that he only cares if he won or not.

Run!

At the Sanderses' home, Micah asks D.L. and Jessica, who is impersonating Niki, if they should use their powers to fight crime. She tells him just to worry about school for now, and D.L. and Micah leave for the day.

Parasite

D.L., finds a photo of Nathan left by Niki. He confronts Jessica (who is still posing as Niki) about this, just after Micah leaves for school. Jessica accuses him of rifling through her drawers, but D.L. keeps the pressure on Jessica. She tries to convince D.L. that all is fine, and seemingly succeeds, but as D.L leaves, he wears a face of disgust.

.07%

D.L. argues with Jessica outside their home about taking Micah away. He tells her that Micah isn't safe as long as Linderman owns their lives. D.L. states bluntly that she hasn't turned into Jessica but into "her old man." He warns her, "I will die before I let you do to Micah what he [her father] did to you" and tells her that she can say goodbye to Micah tonight.

The Hard Part

D.L. confronts Jessica back home, infuriated with Micah's kidnapping, and he places the blame on Jessica. Jessica denies having anything to do with letting Micah go off with Linderman, but D.L. remains focused solely on Micah, and heads to the Corinthian Casino to find him. With some prodding from Niki, Jessica accompanies D.L.

The two manage to enter Linderman's gallery by phasing right through a wall. There, they discover a painting of Micah trapped in a building, surrounded by flames. But even more shocking is an entire wall of documents and photos of Niki, Jessica, D.L., and Micah. D.L. realizes that their entire lives have been nothing more than a "science experiment", orchestrated by Linderman. Still, this does not deter the two from finding Micah, and they realize that Micah is in New York City with Linderman, and is somehow linked to Nathan Petrelli's campaign. The two leave for New York.

Landslide

D.L. and Jessica arrive in New York to find Micah and Linderman. They spy on Nathan as he finishes a photo-op at a polling center, and later confront him in his Nathan's office. The two demand to know where their son is, along with Linderman. Nathan, knowing how Linderman can damage those who oppose him, is apprehensive about helping the two. After D.L. and Jessica assure Nathan that Linderman will not be a threat, Nathan gives them directions.

The duo arrive at the Company facility, passing through the security check with ease. As they wonder which floor Linderman will be on, Mr. Bennet and Matt join them, as they both have common enemies. Jessica notes that she has met Matt before, to D.L.'s confusion. Bennet informs D.L. and Jessica that Linderman is on the 51st floor.

As Linderman finishes a phone call, D.L. and Jessica phase into the office and demand their son. Instead, Linderman offers Jessica millions of dollars to kill D.L. D.L. reminds Jessica that they came for Micah, prompting her to release Niki. Annoyed, Linderman draws a gun on Niki, but D.L. jumps in front of her and takes the shot in his midsection. Linderman steps past D.L. and continues to threaten Niki, but D.L. stands up behind him and phases his hand into Linderman's head, killing him. Niki then cradles D.L. in her arms. D.L. tells Niki that she, not Jessica, was always the strong one.

How to Stop an Exploding Man

Niki, taking D.L. into her arms, chastises D.L. for not phasing to avoid the bullet. They then hear Linderman's guards trying to enter the room, forcing D.L. to phase himself and Niki out of the room, but only with great strain and Niki's encouragement.

On the 42nd floor of the Company's building, D.L. tells Niki to leave him behind so that she can find Micah. Niki is apprehensive about leaving D.L. alone and doubtful of her own strength, but D.L. ensures Niki that she is strong, and always has been. After planting a small kiss, Niki heads off.

Mohinder and Molly see D.L., now weakly laying on the floor. Though the two are initially reluctant to help on the chance that he is their enemy, Mohinder eventually comes to D.L.'s aid as Molly watches out for any guards. Niki and Micah soon arrive, and their family reunites. But the circumstances aren't exactly ideal, as Molly sees guards coming up the stairs. Thankfully, Niki's enhanced strength and Micah's technopathy allow the five to escape.

Everyone arrives at Kirby Plaza, with Mohinder leaving the group so that he can attend to the gravely injured Matt Parkman. After coming to a rest, Niki leaves D.L., Micah, and Molly in order to aid Peter in combating Sylar. But with D.L. still badly hurt, Micah calls Niki back to help. D.L. and the others then watch the battle come to an end, with Hiro defeating Sylar, and Peter on the verge of the explosion. But Nathan takes Peter high into the sky, letting him explode safely above New York. D.L. and his family watches as he keeps Micah close.

Notes

Before D.L.'s introduction, mentions of him made him sound like he was a full-time member of Mr. Linderman's organization. However, as of Better Halves it's less clear that this was the case. Based on his conversation with Niki about the robbery, it now seems just as likely that D.L. was primarily a construction worker who did at best a few jobs for Linderman on the side. This has led some fans to question whether D.L.'s "crew" refers, as originally assumed, to a criminal gang, or merely to a construction crew who were involved in only the one robbery. However, Snapshots indicates that D.L. considered his crew a bad influence, which seems to indicate the former context. Stolen Time further reveals that he used to be the gang's safe cracker.
In Six Months Ago, Niki describes D.L. as an "ex-con" at her AA meeting. This was before Jessica stole Mr. Linderman's money and D.L. was framed for it.
According to Snapshots, D.L was incarcerated at the Nevada State Penitentiary. However, a rap sheet in Linderman's archives suggest he was jailed at Clark County Prison. Further complicating matters, a deleted scene from Genesis show that D.L. was imprisoned in the Moab Federal Penitentiary. Additionally, the script for the unaired pilot lists him as being in "Sing Sing Prison, New York". It is unclear if he actually spent time at all of these facilities or if these are are just oversights and/or script changes.
D.L. is on the list.
In a possible future timeline, D.L. was rescued by Mr. Bennet with the help of Hiro Nakamura. He is subsequently killed, probably by Sylar who possesses his phasing ability. (Five Years Gone) Aron Coleite and Joe Pokaski confirmed this chain of events in an interview.
As seen in a deleted scene from Genesis, D.L. has the symbol either carved or tattooed into his right arm.
D.L.'s full name, Daniel Lawrence Hawkins, was seen on his tombstone in Kindred.

Trivia

D.L.'s last name, Hawkins, is of Old English origin and means "little hawk".
According to a 2002 tax return in Linderman's archives, D.L. lived at 1430 Martel Avenue, Sparks, Nevada 89432. His phone number was 617-555-0187, and his social security number is 569-3451-081. (The Hard Part) However, the tax return is filled out incorrectly, as it lists "Hawkins" as his first name and "D.L." as his last name.
According to D.L.'s inmate record card, D.L. doesn't have more than a high school education.
