A/N: Okay, some of you may be looking at this and be going 0_0 ummm….Twilight and Heroes? Yeah, yeah I know. Please don't bite me. I didn't think I'd ever write a fanfiction with Twilight. Heroes and perhaps someday Harry Potter are more up my alley. But Twilight, er, no…

I just got to thinking about how Edward is all "I'm a monster, I gotta a secret nobody can know about" ect. So I thought wouldn't it be humorous to have someone else running around Forks with a secret of their own. Claire Bennett just fell into place. So I interwoven elements from the show and Twilight together how smoothly, well, you'll just have to see. And no, as far as I'm concerned in this fic Bella doesn't exist.

So this fic takes up post season one of Heroes. Enjoy! And if you don't completely hate it let me know by leaving me a review perhaps? Oh and fave if you love my crappy attempt at poetry! XD

Okay I've gone on long enough. To the story!


"Nothing is inevitable. The future is not written in stone!"

- Claire (to Angela and Nathan) (How to Stop and Exploding Man)

Part One: Prologue

When we collide

The heavens open wide

To reveal a world beyond our own

You shot across my sky

And brought in a new day

You showed me a different way

You really shone out to me

I never thought I'd be seen

You saved my long dead heart

I healed that one wound

That one on your own you never could fix

Not until you let me in

Two extremes, two different beings

My ice, your heat, your day, my night

Two imperfect angels, side by side

Now that darkness is melting away

Revealed now does the ember lay

Forever we will remain

Between this new candle and the night

To always bask in this twilight.


A flash; it started just like all the others. It took control of her senses to the point that everything else was deadened around her. She was still aware of course.

She was aware that Edward was sitting at his piano in the other room. She could hear the music whimsically drift over to her, saturating the air as he poured his soul into it, baring himself in the only way he knew how. He of course would object to this thought of him if he was paying enough attention right now to catch it (which he wasn't). He would deny the existence of him possessing a soul.

She knew Rosalie had let down her icy barricade she normally wore through out the day as she was now just around family. She was with Emmett on the couch. She leaned into his side. He stroked her arm as he whispered something in her ear that made her give a sensual smirk.

Alice noticed how Edward played a key a little sharply so she guessed that whatever Emmett had said had definitely caught Edward's attention for a second. The rest of the song smoothly flew on though. Alice guessed he was studiously ignoring them.

Esme was in the kitchen, lightly humming along as she arranged flowers on the dining table. It always put her in a glowing sort of mood when Edward interacted with the family and didn't stay in his room listening to sad music or reading another one of his books. It would be complete when Carlisle came home. Alice had just informed her that he would be here in seven minutes.

Jasper was the only one who noticed Alice's pause from leaving the house. He knew her so well. He knew she was having another vision. He didn't ask, didn't interrupt. He knew she would tell him when she was ready. He waited patiently in the entry way so they could leave, talk, run into the woods and hunt like moments before they were planning on doing.

Alice knew this, in one moment, her vampire senses knew this and also from predictability, from being around and so integrated in other being's lives. They were bound to pick up each others characteristics and patterns. Alice of course didn't really even think about any of this. She just accepted it as so in a second and opened her mind to the vision that came, as she so often expected them to.

This one was different, more real, like she was right there; truly sucked into another place, another time. She could smell the forest air. She breathed in the scent of rain a day past. She could smell the fresh earth, the enhanced feeling of life, of green around her. The sun light filtered through the trees some reaching the forest floor. Alice knew this as Forks.

Alice turned slowly in a circle taking it all in. Instinctively her head cocked to the side picking up a sound that didn't match with the regular rhythm of the wood. She could hear their voices coming from over the trees a way off and the beat of their footfalls.

A laugh echoed through out, filling the glade with an infectious heart warming sound. Her throat caught. She knew that voice, she knew it instantly. It sounded so foreign though. She had never heard him sound so free.

A feminine voice intermingled with his. It sounded loose with release. Her footfalls, her heartbeat and their laughter indicated them before they burst from the trees. Alice turned to the spot from where they would emerge.

The girl was a bit taller than Alice. She was as beautiful as Rosalie only a bit shorter, stockier. Rosalie usual attire consisted of a lining of icicles. This girl was practically glowing. She had tan and golden hair to Rosalie pale cold skin and light blonde. Said hair looked like it had been put up earlier but had worked its way down to fall down her back in waves from running. Her eyes were a bright emerald green. She smiled up at Edward beside her, her face flushed from the exertion of running and breathless from the laughter. Alice could imagine that she saw the joy that was bubbling somewhere under her skin.

Edward was running along side her, matching her human pace. He had her hand in his in a very possessive way. He even ran with his body slightly tilted to hers. He looked down at her. He was all smiles. Alice barely recognized him. The way his eyes looked at her… She had never seen him like that around any girl before, ever.

They ran past into a little meadow a wash with sun. Alice almost called out. Not that that would do anything or change whatever happened in her vision. Whatever happened happened; she was just a witness of a possible future. She couldn't control what she saw. She could only make do with what she saw and decide for herself what to do with the information, of what changes were needed. So she didn't call to Edward, didn't warn him not to run into the sunlight with the human girl.

It was alright. He held her in his arms. She didn't react to his sparkling skin, like she didn't notice; like it didn't even matter he was a vampire. They just stared lovingly at each other.

They had been staring at each other…lovingly….love…

Alice felt the ending of her vision, the familiar sucking out of the possible world and into the definite one of here and now. She felt her family around her, in the house, about on their chosen pursuits to spend the evening. They hadn't taken notice of her. Only Jasper, his hand on her arm, for she was unlike herself, frozen to the spot, comprehending the magnitude of what she just seen, of what could be, if she played her cards right, if the universe helped it fall into place…

She couldn't tell Edward. She knew that straight away. If he knew he'd react, very badly, she saw that immediately. The rest of her family's reactions wouldn't be much better. Her telling them wouldn't help, only hinder. It would have to come into being on its own, with maybe just a little bit of help on her part.

She couldn't let what she saw not happen. She would not have the image of Edward's face fade from her mind, not one of him being so happy. No, happy wasn't even the right word. He just seemed so at peace, for once. He deserved so much and shouldn't torment himself on so much he couldn't control. He needed this. He would never let it happen though. He would never let himself this one thing. He didn't think he deserved it. He would punish, denying himself.

She loved him, her brother, and her best friend. Such a kind lonely old heart deserved this chance at love, at least a taste. And if it was in her power she would make sure he'd get it. Damn the consequences. But really, he would have to be the one to do it. She could only nudge him.

"Alice?" Edward had stopped playing and was looking at her quizzically. She knew he was reading her thoughts. She knew he had heard her think about him and it had gotten his attention. That and the fact she was standing in the middle of the floor longer than normal with no plausible explanation, well, not one she'd tell them….

She emptied her thoughts of anything incriminating, questionable. She had become very good at this from living around him for so long, learning to hide the few things she did care if he saw.

She just smiled at him in her trademark mystifying way. Then she turned, with Jasper right behind her and flitted out the door into the woods beyond and away from his prying mind. A few miles in she could consider what she saw. The possibilities lay before her in her mind like an intricate spider wed, strands, choices and actions intermingling creating the future.

This was going to be fun to watch. The smile on her face grew. Jasper knew better than to ask.
