Howdy-doo! Okay, this my 1st Heroes story, so feel free to criticize. Just to let everyone know, it basically the same plotline as the Wizard of Oz, but with a different plotline

Does that make sense? Ah, you'll see. Oh, btw, this is taking place in the four months between Kirby Plaza and Season 2. Just to clear that up…

Ch 1. The Cyclone in Odessa.

Claire Bennet sighed deeply, her head bent over her notebook as she doodled little scribbles, cubes and such. Flipping her blonde hair out of her eyes, she gazed at the school clock. Only 3 more minutes until the weekend! She gave a half-smile, and closed her notebook.

She turned her gaze to look out the window. The gray skies looked perfect. Wait…

Claire looked back out the window. That was funny, just earlier in the day the skies had been a perfect Odessa-blue, and a grand sun was shining through the trees. Now it looked as if a storm was brewing behind the smoke screen of clouds.

The bell rang, and Claire gathered her books to go to cheer practice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This sucks." Claire said blankly, gazing at the hastily written note on the gym door.

"No cheer practice?! All because of a little bunch of clouds?! Ridiculous."

She shook her head, shrugging on her jacket over her uniform. Even it did become a storm, what would it matter to her? Or could she die from electrocution?

Never thought of that one before… she thought, heading out the door.

As she walked home, odd thoughts of how an invincible girl could possibly die crossed her mind. Of course, any psychiatrist would consider these dangerous thoughts, but for her it didn't matter.

A wave of loneliness swept over her. She was quite used to feeling like this by now, but it still hurt a little to know she was all alone. Now that Peter had gone…

No! Bad Claire! Don't think about him, or little Hiro, or any of the others.

But she still couldn't stop the one tear coming from her eye.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mom, Dad?" Claire called through the house, depositing her bag on the kitchen chair. Neither of their cars had been in the garage. Where could they have possibly gone? The clouds were a pitch black now, and Claire had to turn on the lights in order to see properly.

"Mr. Muggles, what's wrong boy?" she said to the fluffy Pomeranian laying nose-to-tail in the corner. "Its just clouds, boy, and a little wind. Don't be scared…"

Hm, what's this she thought, dropping the Muggles on the chair and picking up a yellow pad of paper. Scrawled in her dad's handwriting was:

Claire- saw the D in math. Means you're near failing. No cheer practice until grades brought up. Love, Dad.

"C'mon!" she growled, collapsing in the chair. They could be so hard on her sometimes.

Honestly, Dad, the Math teach's is out to get me!

She leaned her head back against the chair and glared at Mr. Muggles, who was still shivering. He seemed to be vibrating so violently he made a loud roaring noise.

Claire froze. Turning very slowly, she looked out the front window.

A tornado!

Claire screamed and grabbed Mr. Muggles, leaping over the chair and to the basement door. It was locked! Who could be so stupid?!

"MOM! DAD! LYLE! HELP!" she cried, running from door to door frantically. The roaring was growing louder, and the windows were shaking, threatening to break from the pressure. Mr. Muggles yelped loudly.

"DAD! DAD! Where-OOF!"

And without another word, Claire collapsed on the floor, knocked out by the shattering glass.
