I own nothing from the TV shows Veronica Mars or Heroes. I only own my characters and story plot.
A/N: This is my first attempt at a crossover Fanfiction. R&R lemme know what you think.
Chapter 01 – Returning Home
It's been a month since Sylar left me for dead. The only reason I'm alive right now is because for some odd reason Peter and Claire were looking for me. Claire used her blood to bring me back. Now I'm in this dingy motel room waiting for Peter to bring me information on my family, my true family, the family I was made to forget when I was taken by the company. When Sylar cracked my skull open he made me remember that life and that family so there was one good thing to come from it. Since then I have also been less psychotic and homicidal which would also be why Peter decided to help me find my family. Everything had led us to this town in southern California.
I remembered a loving father, an alcoholic mother, and a sister, a twin sister at that. I had always felt a phantom connection to the girl I would see in my dreams. I would see myself in the mirror, but the girl looking back wasn't me. I always thought it was some type of dream metaphor but now that I remember I know it was the connection to my sister. We had been very close until I was ripped from my family's grasp. We did everything together and she was the first to know of my ability. These memories are what caused my "Attitude Adjustment" as Peter puts it. I even stopped trying to kill the cheerleader and started calling her by her name, Claire.
"Alright I got some grub" Peter said as he rushed into the room.
"And info on my family?" I questioned as he set the food on the table.
"Yes that as well" he offered me a sandwich.
"Thanks" I took it and sat down "So what'd you find out?" I asked taking a bite.
"Well your last name is Mars" he replied sitting down.
"Mars? Really? Well what about my first name?"
"It's Elle, the company must have thought you were too old to change it" he bit into his sandwich.
"Elle Mars" I retorted to myself. "What about my sister? I know it starts with a V" I added.
"Her name's Veronica, she works at your dad's P.I. Agency after school and from what I can tell your dad has been looking for you since the day you were taken, his name is Keith"
"My mom?"
"Took off on your family over a year ago after your dad was fired from being the sheriff"
"Oh" I took another large bite of my sandwich.
"You alright?"
"Yeah I think I'm ready to see them" I put the sandwich down and rubbed my hands on my jeans.
"You sure?"
"Yeah I have this feeling that they need me and I know I need them" I replied.
"I know I've said this before but I definitely like the new you" he stated.
"The old me is still here, just buried, anyway think you could come with me?"
"Yeah, of course" he smirked. "Best get some sleep then; We'll go first thing in the morning"
"Great" I replied as i laid on one of the beds.
(The Next Morning)
Peter and I woke up early and got into the car. He stopped in front of a small apartment complex. It was definitely nicer than that motel we were in.
"This is it" he parked the car and stopped the engine.
I stared at the complex quietly for a few moments.
"Need me to go with you?" Peter asked.
"No, I need to do this myself. I'll meet you back at the motel later" I said getting out of the car. Peter told me the apartment number and then I walked into the complex until I found the door.
This was is it, I was going to see my family again after a long separation. Apparently my dad never stopped looking for me and I could just feel that my sister thought of me. I took a large deep breath than let it out before I lightly knocked on the door. I heard a dog bark immediately after. Suddenly the door opened and I was met with my own face. It was me down to a T minus the short hair. The girl looked star struck.
"Veronica?" I questioned.
"Are you real?" she asked still looking stunned.
"Veronica who is it?" asked Keith as he came up to the door. When his eyes met mine his face overcame with the same shocked look as Veronica's.
"Dad?"
"Elle? Is that really you angel?" he asked stepping forward.
"Yeah daddy, it's me" I simply replied. "I finally got away" I added.
"We thought you were…" his voice trailed off.
"I know" I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around him. "I missed you" I whispered as I heard the light sobs escape.
"Oh baby girl I missed you too" he started to cry as did Veronica.
I let go of dad and walked up to Veronica. I held my hand out and she took it and we did our secret handshake we made up when we were little. She laughed when we finished and I pulled her into a hug.
"I missed you so much sis" Veronica cried in my arms.
"Since I got my memory back I've missed you too" I stated.
"What do you mean?" Dad asked.
"The people that took me made me forget you and everything I knew before I was taken" I replied. "But when a man tried to kill me it brought all of my memories back" I explained.
"Well I say you skip school today Veronica and I skip work and we celebrate this family reunion" they both had tears in their eyes and it wasn't until then that I realized so did I.
"Dad why don't you get the car" Veronica suggested and he did just that.
"Do you still have your ability?" Veronica questioned. I simply nodded. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you at first, I have never forgiven myself for that" she cried. I just pulled her into another hug.
"Don't worry about it, it matters that you do now" I replied as dad brought the car around.
"Where do you girls want to go?" he asked as we entered the back seat.
"Can we go to that ice cream shop we used to go to when I was little?" I questioned.
"Yeah that sounds great to me dad" Veronica smiled.
"Me too" dad replied as he put the car in gear and drove off.
Nice little family reunion and what a nice seeming Elle. Should I go on?
