Claire woke with a start. She looked around, searching for whatever had made the noise. She froze when she saw a tall figure moving in the shadows on the other side of her room.
"Sylar." She said, needing no response. He could be across a stadium from her and she would know exactly where he was.
"I'm not here to hurt you, Claire." That voice would be soothing had it come from any other man but the one standing before her. He had murdered her biological parents and, in her eyes at least, raped her power. He had to be lying.
"I know you don't believe me, Claire, you have no reason to, not after everything I've done to you. But I have never lied to you. I don't know if it's Nathan's mind being forced on me, maybe these feelings were there before and I just never recognized them. But I will never, can never hurt you."
He let out a ragged breath. He had moved forward so that his face shone in moonlight streaming though her thin curtains. He was almost visibly trembling and it was obviously frustrating the former serial killer.
"It's like I have this need to protect you." He sighed deeply, moving towards Claire, staring at her for a moment. Claire's jaw dropped open a little and before she formulate any sort of response, he was telekinetically opening her window and disappearing into the night.
