Gabriel wondered what exactly was coursing through Claire's mind, as she stood on the top of the Ferris wheel, back straight and head held high. Were her thoughts like tidal waves? Relentless and aggressive like her pummel down to the mindless masses, crashing into the sea of reporters that threatened to swallow her whole and going out loud and messily, fighting hard and dragging the world down with her. Or were they accepting and passive like a feather, her feathers as she spread her wings and dived off the Ferris wheel entrusting her whole, her everything to fate. To embrace humanity and its views and praying to all that is Holy it will embrace her back?
And what did she gain from it? Did she get the results she risked so much for? Did she fully fucking consider what she was doing, how many lives she had changed for better or worse, small insignificant lives that she had never been a part of, people she has never met or ever brushed sleeves with along the street that she has rattled and shook and flipped upside down. She must have known that with that one impulsive thought that she has made and break worlds of billions. Good people, bad people, normal and special people. She has played God and changed the world. Because she wasn't some small water droplet rippling out in a pond edge. She was a 3,000 ton Hippo cannon balling into its new habitat, a new factor that changed the whole ecosystem. Screw cause and effect, she was a gamechanger.
And what a dangerous game she was playing. He cocked his head to the side at the agitated voice of his companion.
"She's ruining everything."
Gabriel turned his head back at the vultures now swarming the invincible girl, the immortal goddess of his and smiled.
"She's saving everyone."
She had a coin in her palm, and when she throws it up to the sun it will land heads or tails or spin around on its edge but never will it rest. There's only one thing that was for certain.
Change.
And that was Claire Bennet's greatest gift (or curse) to humanity.
