"I see through you, though this little act of yours. So can you please be my sister rather then the wannabe-villain you love to pretend to be?"

When we finally crashed into each other again (after I left her all alone), my face and mind older, and that my friends is somewhat of a miracle, and her own still the very same, those were her first words to me.

(besides reminding me what a fool I was so many years ago, which I just started to see myself)

But instead of jumping in to the apologies that I've been holding inside for only a select few, her and her father being number one of that long list of mine.

And you should have seen Peter (the flying boy wonder) face when those two words came out of my mouth, it was like he just found out he was a freaking bomb all over again.

(he was always super good at hurting me, body and heart)

Nope, I was more interested in the whole 'sister' thing.

"Sister, what are you kidding me?"

"Trust me, El, I said the very same thing when dad told me."

-

And in one single moment I finally had one of dreams, which I wished for so very long ago, come true (but I still wish it was becoming the queen of the world one) because I now was the daughter of a father that would love me more then first one ever did.

"Is he one hundred present sure, Claire, I have to know he isn't lying."

The need to make sure that these words, that at this time are words of hope and words I need to be true (or at least ninety-present true), didn't came from the lies that have filled me up over the years, some from my own lips but most from the ones that say they love me.

(but it's just another honey-coated lie used to trick the gullible woman that's still a child on the inside)

"Elle, trust me he wouldn't lie about something like this. We're sisters and that's a fact."

(and just like that she pulls that smile out and trust me no one can resist that thing and I mean no one)

When I'm with her, the one that I used to envy more then anyone in the world (but now know she's anything but the prefect thing I saw her as) my lips can't help but go up in a smile, something I've been doing less and less of over the years.

(Sylar knew just how to take that away and my life at the same time)

And I knew at that moment that everything was getting better and better with just one smile from a girl that shouldn't be able to do such a thing (because like me she has been broken over and over again) and I knew that playing big sis was going to be the easiest job in the world.

(easier then playing girlfriend, which I have a bad track record with)

Because I have the perfect little sister to start with, and trust me I'm going to do everything with her.

(we have years and years to make up and all the time in the world)

Make-overs and dress up will be a thing of need in the Bennet house hold (even daddy will get one, even if I have to tackle him), along with barbies and lots and lots of pink.

After all that's what you get when you get Elle freaking Bishop (who is beyond awesome) and once you invite me in it will take a damn priest to get me out of your hair.

"I've always wanted a little sister, Claire."
