Episode 3.01
Outside Of Mohinder's Lab
Elle had just left Mohinder's lab after attacking Sylar, she needed to find Sylar and prove to her Dad that she was capable of getting a job done.
She was running down the streets, glancing over at alleyways and stopped at the front of one. There were spots of blood on the floor, it had to be Sylar's. She had hit him out with her power pretty bad which she was pleased with. But if he really had taken Claire's blood it wouldn't take long for him to get his powers back which is why if she was ever going to kill him, now was the perfect time.
'Looking for someone?' Elle was caught off guard and whipped her head around.
'Sylar.' Before Elle could take another shot at him, Sylar telekinetically shoved her up the wall, tightening his grip around her neck and she was gasping for air.
'Do you really think I wouldn't remember what you did to me?'
Elle was surprised how he could remember. The Haitian had taken away Sylar's memories of what the company did, but then again Sylar wasn't like her, he hadn't received his abilities naturally.
Flashback: 4 months ago
Sylar bolted up, wide awake. He couldn't move, there were restraints holding him down. He looked around at his surroundings. It was dark; he could barely make out what was around him. Where was he? The last thing he remembered was that he had been at Kirby plaza, he'd been stabbed in the chest and seen his whole life flash before him. And now he was alive, trapped and unaware of where he was.
Then light emitted through the room as the door opened. His eyes were flickering; he couldn't handle the sight of it. Who knew how long he'd been out for?
'Sylar, you finally decided to wake up. Though it wouldn't have been such a loss if you hadn't.'
Sylar could see a slim, blond haired woman walking toward him. He was able to make out her other features as she came closer to him, including the evil smile spread over her face.
Then Sylar yelled back at her, he didn't know why he was here, all he knew was that he didn't want to stay any longer. He needed more power and to kill Peter once and for all.
'Let me go now! What am I doing here? And who are you?'
'Calm down. I'm Elle and we need you for something so you won't be getting out anytime soon.'
Sylar was infuriated now but then he remembered he could with the flick of his hand which wasn't tied down, telekinetically strangle her until she gave in to his demands.
Sylar concentrated on using his power while trying to threaten her 'You're going to let me out of these restraints now Elle, then you're going to show me the way out of here.' He repeatedly flicked his wrist in all the ways he could think of and no matter what he did Elle stood there unmoved.
'Sylar your powers won't work here. I'll be back to check on you later when you've settled down a bit more.'
Elle shut the door just as she heard Sylar's screams. He was going to be an interesting toy to play around with.
---
Her next visit seemed like days later. He had no sense of time in whatever place he was. He hadn't seen light or any other visitors either. All he had were all of his thoughts driving him insane on what had happened to his powers?
'So Sylar, has your mood changed today?'
'If you mean do I still want to escape wherever I am and kill you, then no.'
'I thought you would have learnt your lesson the last time.'
'Is that supposed to be a threat?' Sylar was starting to be in control again. He realised the only way out of where he was, was to try his best a pull on Elle's strings. He could try and break her so much that she'd actually want to let him go.
'You're in no position right now to talk that to me like that.'
'Why'd they only send you?'
'They didn't send me I asked to be here.'
'Why would you want to be spending all this time with a person like me?'
'To make my Dad proud, everything I do is for him' Elle began to surprisingly open up to Sylar, she had never really talked to anyone about her Dad. What was she doing?
'I know what you mean.'
'How?'
'It was the same with my mother, she always wanted me to be someone more, she wanted me to be special. I was always trying to please her, then everything changed when Dr Sures….never mind.' He was letting down his guard again, appearing weak. He couldn't let Elle have any more power over him then she already did.
'Well, I better go.'
Sylar said nothing back. Elle felt awkward after how they had just talked to each other like they were friends, she had to leave.
---
Another couple of days had gone by again until her next visit. This had given Sylar time to prepare how he could get to Elle. She was going to use her dad to get to her.
This time Sylar spoke up first, 'What does your Dad want this time?.'
'Just to make sure you not planning on doing anything and to make sure your powers aren't back.'
'You mean they'll actually come back?.' Sylar had a new plan now.
'Yeah we can't actually take your powers away for good.'
'Why is your dad's approval so important to you, if you ask me he's just using you.'
'He's not, he's just trusting me more, trusting me enough to take care of you.'
'So what's he doing while your'e in here.'
'I don't know. It doesn't really matter.'
'He doesn't tell you everything doesn't he?'
'No.' Elle sad sadly.
'Then he doesn't trust you.' Sylar had won this conversation.
'Well he's trusting me enough to go after Peter.' Elle stopped talking, she realised she had blurted out something she wasn't supposed too.
'Don't worry who am I going to tell?'
'Your're right.' Elle looked at him, he wasn't so different from her and she was beginning to feel like he was the only one that could understand where she was coming from. Sylar had done a good job in distracting her, she was leaving again and had forgotten to check if his powers had returned. Elle knew they would soon, what they had injected him would only affect him temporarily.
---
After Elle had brought Peter in, her dad had given her a new assignment, to continue taking care of Peter instead. She still hadn't forgotten all those things Sylar had said to her and made her think why she was listening to her dad so much when she knew so little about him.
Each day she was with Peter she felt like she was school girl with a school girl crush. He was nice and he accepted her power and her. She couldn't help but wonder still if he had a hidden agenda. She knew he didn't when on todays visit he had pulled her on his lap and kissed her. It was her first kiss. She was beginning to feel normal. She didn't notice the pair of eyes glairing at her through the window screen. The belonged to Sylar.
Sylar had gotten his powers back a day ago, it looked like Elle had clearly forgotten about him, but that was a good thing or else he might of not found a way to escape. Peter seemed to interfere with all his plans but had never felt more angrier with him then he did now. She realised Elle was leaving Peter's room so Sylar had to make a move. He still wasn't sure where he was going, he went down the hall.
Elle saw a figure headed down the hall, she was curious who would be down there she went to the end and felt herself being pushed against the wall, with Sylar gipping her neck.
'Guess I was wrong about you.' Syla'r voice was cold and different from the one he used to talked to Elle when he was trapped in that room.
'What do you mean?'
'Look just tell me how to get out of here.'
Elle's neck was sore, her dad was going to kill her for not checking up on his powers. She didn't want to risk her life and she was sure her dad wouldn't want her too either so she told him where to go.
'Its…down straight ahead...left…then you go.. right' She was gasping for air, his hold on her was so tight, she thought that he might have been a bit gentler. Sylar brought her down from the wall and took his hands away from her. He had let her go, he had no need to hurt her, after all she was just like him. No! His head was telling him he had to knock her out or something he couldn't allow her to find her dad before he escaped.
'Sorry' and he couldn't believe he was apologising to her after he flung her down, across to the other side of the hall using his wrist
He ran toward the directions Elle had given him but knocked out by this red head around the corner.
End of Flash back
'If you remember then why am I still alive? Don't you want to exact you revenge or whatever it is you do?' Elle was said that to confidently.
'I have better idea a proposal which I think you'll like.'
Los Angeles
Claire was struggling to hold herself together. Her Dad had basically told her to give up on any chance of having a normal life. She'd never see her Dad again and the world would never be able to see her for who she really was. She just continued packing boxes, her mum was in the kitchen preparing there last meal in LA and Lyle had the television on full blast in the lounge room. She heard this loud banging noise and went to go yell at her brother to turn the TV down.
Her eyes widened, nothing could prepare herself for what she'd just seen on the TV screen. 'Peter…' she was just about to grasp with the fact that he was alive, and then she saw what had caused the loud banging sound. Nathan had fallen to the ground with Peter reaching for him; he had been shot many times. Peter was cradling him in his arms. Claire didn't think she could handle much more of this, all the people she loved were being killed off one by one. But Peter, he was alive this whole time.
Flashback: 4 months ago
Claire and her Dad were about to leave Kirby plaza, Nathan had just flown Peter into the sky so they would only suffer the explosion. Claire didn't know how to feel, her biological Dad and Peter had just signed there own death sentence. Nathan had surprised her. For once he had become her hero and saved the world. When it came down to her shooting Peter she just couldn't do it, she had realised at that moment when it could be the end for him with a simple gunshot that she cared about him more than she thought. But it didn't matter now either way she knew that neither Peter nor Nathan could have survived that explosion.
Claire was wrong. 2 months later she received a phone call from Nathan. He hadn't died after all, but it was clear that he was a completely different person from the one she had met and gotten to know. Nathan told Claire how he woke up in a hospital bed, he left out how disfigured the accident had left him and just told her that he wanted to get to know her more. Then he brought up Peter. She hoped he was going to say that he was still alive too there with Nathan, but instead he broke down and all Claire could do was the same. She listened to him talk about how much he missed him and began telling her stories about himself and Peter. It just made her miss him even more.
As more weeks passed he became more distant on the phone, until he stopped calling her altogether. He still wasn't taking Peter's death well and neither was she. Her parents were always asking her why she was in her room so much. She just told them she was preparing herself for going to school and having a different identity, all she really did was lie on her bed and look at the ceiling for hours. Sometimes she'd have tears in her eyes and sometimes all she did was think. Think about everything that had happened to her that past year, how much her ability had changed her life and most of all how Peter had changed her life. She couldn't imagine life without him.
Then her first day of school in LA came. She said goodbye to her Dad and almost walked into the building when this car came out of nowhere. She wished it hadn't of stopped and just ran her over. Then she was beginning to realise how depressed she'd become, should her uncle's death have affected her this much? She hadn't even known him for a year.
She tried to forget Peter by hanging out with west a lot, but no matter how much time she spent with him deep down she was still sad, everything became about Peter. As weeks passed she finally found a reason to break up with West. She just didn't care anymore because now her father had also been taken away from her as well. Nothing in her life mattered; everything changed the day Peter had died.
End of flashback
She kept looking at the television screen, searching for some sign that Nathan would be okay, instead it was like Peter and Nathan had vanished out of thin air. She had seen Peter move Nathan but she didn't see where.
'Claire.'
She turned around Peter was there standing in front of her with Nathan in his arms.
'How did you….Peter you're alive but Nathan, is he..?' She wanted to run into Peter's arms she had missed him so much, but now was not the time; Nathan had to be saved but how?
Lyle ran out the room scared, he'd never seen these people in his life and ran screaming for his mum, Claire didn't even notice.
Peter's voice was still shaky, 'I'll explain everything to you later. I know how we can heal Nathan. I need some of your blood.'
'That should work, it worked on my dad.'
'You had to use it on your dad?'
'I'll explain everything later. So do you have..'
Peter interrupted her, 'This, yeah just roll up your sleeve and take a seat.' He put Nathan down on the couch Lyle had left and headed toward Claire with the needle.
Peter held her arm, and was about to inject her before he looked at her, she half smiled. She was so glad he was alive but she new she shouldn't be this happy at this moment.
'This shouldn't hurt.' He injected the needle until it was full of her blood. Claire looked pale, 'Are you okay? Don't get up too quickly.'
'Yeah I guess needles can still affect me.'
He went over to Nathan and injected him with Claire's blood. The places on his body where he had been shot slowly healed themselves then he shot up sitting upright from the couch.
'Peter, what happened, I got shot didn't I?'
'Yeah, and thanks to Claire you're still alive.'
'Claire?'
She walked over to Nathan unsure whether to hug him, there hugs always felt awkward.
'Hi.' Claire had a full smile back on her face. Nathan and Peter both were alive now.
'Claire, who are these people?' Claire's mum had come in with Lyle next to her.
'Don't worry, its no one from the company. This is Nathan my biological Dad and this is his brother Peter.'
Peter interrupted 'You know about the company?'
'They did the same thing you did to me except they took a lot more of my blood, they kidnapped me shot my dad but used my blood to heal him. We saw him today and he said I had to stop what I was doing. I was going through his files so I could expose the company once and for all, the company won't let him stay with us. I don't think I could have handled another funeral.' She looked over at Nathan.
Peter shot a sympathetic look toward Claire, she could believe how much more she had been through since he left. He should have been there for her more.
Nathan spoke up, 'I was shot just as we were about to reveal our abilities to the world, it had to have been the company.'
'Like Nathan said we are still paying for the mistakes our parents mad all those years ago.'
'Is your Mum part of the company?'
'As well as our dad and Adam.'
'Who's Adam?'
'He's like you actually; he had the power of regeneration its how I knew your blood would heal Nathan's.'
Nathan looked around Claire's house and saw all the boxes. 'Are you leaving?'
'Yeah we are trying to get as far away from the company after all they've done to us.'
'The company will find you wherever you are you'll never be truly safe. Sandra and Lyle could be.'
'Without Me.'
'Yeah.'
Nathan said something that shocked Claire, 'I think you should stay with us.'
Sandra was about to object when Nathan explained, 'For her protection. Peter he can save her if anything happens he's done it plenty of times before and if you want you husband back, we have to work together to bring down the company once and for all.'
'Mum, I know how whole families getting separated now, but all I want is for dad to be back and to stop running.'
Sandra was going to regret this, 'Fine, I'm calling you every day and Claire I'm really going to miss you.' Sandra had tears forming around her and Claire went to hug her.
'Everything will be fine again soon, we'll get dad back.' Lyle then even came to hug her.
Then she looked over at what would be her new family even though she probably loved them just as much she'd prefer that they weren't all related.
So I do want to continue this fic its just that in general I suck at updating fics and have too many fics at the moment in the works but I posted this anyway since I did it a while ago and finally added more to it.
