My Hero
Spoiler: This story is based on events that happened in Fallout.
It was a week after that Haitian man had come into her room, had told her that her father wanted her to forget. Forget, why did he want that, if this man who was supposed to want to kill her did come after her, how was she supposed to protect herself?
Claire lied awake on her bed, she couldn't remember the last time she had a good night sleep, and recalled the things that had happen in the last few days. At this point she was actually afraid of her father, afraid of why he tried to make her forget, and if he really was trying to protect her. She has pretended like the Haitian man said and acted like she didn't have any powers. She would act cheerful around her father in the morning as she was getting ready for school, but then when got outside she would start to cry.
She suddenly shot up out of bed, and ran to get her coat and shoes. She knew who could help her, Peter. She knew she had to find him and talk to him about what has been going on. As she ran down the stairs she heard a voice call to her.
"Claire, honey where are you going?" Her father asked as he watched her descend the stairs
" Oh hey Daddy! I'm just going out for a run, you know I've got to keep in shape for cheerleading," she hoped it sounding convincing.
" Alright just don't go to far, okay?" He bought this lie easily thinking she knew nothing about her powers.
" Okay I won't." She turned the doorknob and begun to walk outside, when she heard him say,
"Be careful Claire." She just started to run away and waved back at him.
She was going to the police station ( At this point she doesn't know that Peter's been released); she was going to find Peter. She ran about ten blocks and finally came to the station. She walked inside and tried to figure out how she was going to find Peter when she heard a voice.
" Claire, Claire Bennett?" a man called. She turned around to see the same police officer that had come up to her father on the day she was being questioned to say that they were going to catch who ever killed Jackie. She started to turn away but he said, " You're here to see Peter aren't t you?"
" How did you know that?" she asked astonished, and a little scared.
' I can read minds and what can you do?" he asked. She started to walk away and he repeated his question. " Oh so your like invincible. I mean like you can't get hurt."
" I don't know what your talking about.", and again she started to walk away. Matt was getting angry but he figured he'd better just give her what she wanted.
" Peter's not here." He shouted after her. " He checked into the hospital down the street a couple of days ago, I don't know if he's still there, but its your best bet at finding him." This time it was Matt who turned and walked away. Claire decided that she would take Matt's advice and go to the hospital to look for Peter.
She walked the block or so to the hospital, and asked the lady at the desk what room Peter was in.
" I'm sorry miss, but only family member are allowed to see Mr. Petrelli at this time." Claire didn't know what to do; she knew she had to see Peter now so she said the first thing that came into her head.
" I'm his fiancé." Stupid, stupid she thought why couldn't she say cousin or something.
" Oh well dear why didn't you say so, Mr. Petrelli is in room 208 go right on up."
Claire said thank you politely, and then took the elevator up to the second floor. She found room 208, and quietly walked in to see Peter alone, watching T.V.
"Hey." She said.
"Claire, oh my God what are you doing here," he started to get up to greet her, but she indicated for him to stop and sat down in the chair next to his bed.
" Listen Peter we have to talk, about you know." she whispered.
" Yeah I do know, and I do want to talk about it too, just not now and not here," he got up and put on his jacket. "You coming," he asked.
" But Peter aren't you sick, and won't you get caught?"
" Don't worry about it Claire, just come on," he said, and Claire did as he said, and followed him.
