Brave New World
Part I
The Dream After the Jump
Claire Bennet looked into Gabriel Grey's eyes. The life around them stopped suddenly, the light dimmed, and the only thing that had meaning in the world was the two of them. Every pain of the brave new world disappeared, and the ferris wheel stunt didn't matter.
Gabriel removed a strand of blonde hair from her face, looking passionately into her eyes. "This is a brave new world, Claire. And you created it..."
Tears streamed down Claire's face, and she moved a hand through Gabriel's greasy hair, remembering the past few weeks. The ferris wheel jump had changed it all, created the new world. The minute Claire hit the ground, every country new about the new phenomenon. It started out great. Peter and Hiro began a training facility for others with abilities, which had gotten many entries. Noah was employed by them, and trained the mind-readers how to control when and when-not to use their telepathy. Matt helped him, by explaining his life and his ability took it away. Tracy Strauss disappeared, grabbing a plane ticket to Hawaii the minute Claire jumped. She couldn't take it, she just wanted to be normal.
And then, Claire had been taken. One night, while she was walking to visit Peter and Hiro, a force pushed her into an abandoned house, and she was there for days. Dehydrated, starving, she knew this was it. But the next day, a figure removed the door, and stepped inside. "Hello, Claire..."
"Gabriel!"
After Claire had tried to cut his head off, she calmed down, and they spoke. Gabriel gave his gratitude to Claire for letting the secret out, having enough courage to jump. The two bonded. Thye forgot the past. The images of Gabriel taking her ability through her brain perished. All evil was extinguished by heroic acts, and long hours of talking.
Gabriel put a hand on Claire's cheek, "I love-"
Angela woke with a start. Claire had just jumped. It was on the T.V. screen, her long descent, and then the impact. Her palms were clammy as she gripped the phone. "Noah, we have a problem..."
