The night Elle Bishop is taken down – Apartment of Elle Bishop
Elle slammed the door to her apartment, and ran down the steps. She was situated on the 15th floor, and as she rushed down the steps, Danko's men, accompanied by Danko and Bennet, ran into the building on the first floor. Elle's phone bleeped as she ran. She pulled it out.
They're here. – REBEL
"Oh crap," Elle muttered, as she heard the thumping footsteps of Danko's men.
Elle ran back up the steps in the other direction. If only she could get out of the building, onto the roof, she could escape by climbing down the building. She ran past her apartment door, leaving behind the life she had lived for 7 months. What would her life be like now? Always on the run, always looking over her shoulder. She'd have to team up with the others. Elle grimaced as she thought of having to live in hiding with Claire Bennet for the rest of her life. There was an alternative, however. She could find out about Petrelli's operation, bring it down. Or expose it to the government. Elle was sure REBEL would help her with that, even if he hadn't been much use before.

Nathan peered over at the computer over the man's shoulder. The man worked for Nathan, and was happy to have someone as important as Senator anywhere near him. He was currently looking at the CCTV in the building Elle Bishop lived in, and was giving instructions to Danko and his men. Bennet and two other agents were close to catching up with Bishop.

Elle reached the top of the stairs, gasping for breath. The door to the roof faced her opposite. The sound of thumping footsteps was growing louder, so Elle opened the door.
"We found her!" an agent cried, as Elle opened the door.
So they had been waiting for her on the roof. Elle smiled, she wasn't going to go down that easily. She hadn't used her ability to shock anyone for a long time. The three agents raised their guns. Elle raised her hands. Before the agents could fire a pink dart at her, she opened fire with her electricity. The agents screamed as they felt over 1000 volts pass through them. Only when she was sure they were dead, did Elle stop shocking them.

"She killed them," Nathan said hollowly into the coms device strapped to Noah Bennet's chest. "Just when I was beginning to think they just needed locking up. This is serious. Bennet, take her down."
"Sure thing," came the reply back.

Bennet and two other agents raced up the stairs. Elle had reached the roof, and Noah had to make sure they didn't lose her. He had sent Danko down to the bottom of the building, but Noah hoped Elle wouldn't have to face him. He knew what the Hunter was like, how he longed for control, how he longed to destroy those with abilities. Noah hoped he wouldn't meet Elle, for her sake.
Elle pulled her jacket around her body tighter. It was cold up here on the roof, and looking over the edge wasn't a particularly good idea when she was afraid of heights, and likely to get blown off in the wind. Being on a plane was bad enough, especially when it was with Claire Bennet. There was a bang as Bennet and two agents raced through the doors on the other side of the roof.
"Give it up Elle," Noah shouted.
"What, so you can round us all up?" Elle shouted back.
She moved away from the roof edge, in case the Hunter could get a shot at her. Her Company training usually came in use, but they never told her how to stay hidden.
"Where did you take them?" Elle asked.
"Somewhere safe, Elle," Noah said, extending a hand.
For one minute, Elle was almost tempted to walk across the rooftop and take Bennet's hand, but she knew it would only end up in her getting captured. Instead, she began to walk to Bennet with something else in mind.
"That's it Elle," Bennet said. "Give yourself up."
"I take it the job offer isn't still open?" Elle asked.
"No. Senator Petrelli has other plans for you and your friends," Noah said, as Elle got closer to him.
With one hand behind her back, Elle continued to walk over to Bennet. In the hand behind her back, her electricity fizzed and crackled. Noah hoisted the gun up slightly, waiting for the moment when Elle would be easy to hit.
Elle quickly moved her hand, and electrocuted one of the agents. He was lifted off his feet, and slipped off the edge of the roof. Noah swung his gun round, and shot her with a pink dart in the right arm. Elle let out a blast of electricity, before collapsing on the floor. Bennet leaned over her, smiling, before everything went black.
The night of the plane crash – Airplane Hanger, Arkansas
The prisoners moved slowly, all in a line, with their hoods over their heads. Their orange jumpsuits had little boxes on the chest, with feeds going into the prisoner's noses, pumping them full of drugs. Tracy Strauss had thick gloves on, and Elle had water bags on each hand. Together they were led onto the plane, all except one, who was taken to Nathan, who stood by a procession of black cars.
"We've had a few problems," one agent said to Nathan.
"Sylar," Nathan said. "I told you to put a bullet in the back of his head."
"We're sending a clean up crew, but there's something else."
The agent lifted off the prisoner's hood, to reveal Claire Bennet, drugged and barely conscious. Nathan removed the drug feed, and took Claire over to a car.
"I hate you," Claire said weakly.
"I know," Nathan replied.
The night of the plane crash – Cargo Plane, Arkansas
Claire ducked behind the boxes of cargo, hiding from the guard. As soon as the guard left the area, Claire began to remove a prisoner's hood, looking for Peter. The first hood she pulled off was the hood of Hiro Nakamura.
"Hiro," Claire muttered, pulling out the drug feed from his nose.
She pulled his hood back on, and went over to another prisoner. It was Peter.
"Peter, Peter it's me," Claire said, removing the drug feed. "Come on, wake up. We need to get everybody here out. We need to break the shackles."
"I don't have strength anymore," Peter replied sleepily.
Claire pointed to the prisoner next to him.
"Suresh?" Peter muttered. "Take his stuff off."
Claire removed the earphones, drug feed and hood from Mohinder.
"Right, Suresh," Claire said quietly. "Come on, wake up."
Peter stretched out his fingers, trying to reach Mohinder's. They locked fingers, and Peter borrowed Mohinder's super strength. Letting go, Peter broke out of his shackles.
"Wake everybody up," Peter told Claire.
Claire ran to another prisoner and undid her hood. It was Tracy. Claire pulled out the drug feed from her nose, and Tracy stirred. She pulled Tracy's gloves off, before removing Hiro's hood once more. A guard spotted them, and began to wrestle Peter, while Claire took off another prisoner's hood. Elle was sedated, with her hood on a few seats away from Tracy. Claire moved over to her, but thought she had spotted Matt. She removed the hood, and it was Matt. Peter hit the guard and a tazer rolled over to Claire. She picked it up.
"Go to the cockpit!" Peter shouted.
As Claire ran past, she knocked the drug feed from Elle's nose. She ran into the cockpit after tazering another guard.
"We're gonna make an unexpected landing," she said to the pilot.
She turned to face the co pilot. With shock, she realised it was Noah, her dad.
"Claire?" Noah asked, equally surprised.
Peter fell back from the guard's punch, his stomach hurting. He fell into Tracy, clasping her hand. He felt a ripple as her power went into him. Peter leapt back up, punching the guard. He frowned; it hurt a lot more this time. The guard pushed him, and Peter fell against the side of the plane. Ice began to trickle up the wall.
Everything was fuzzy for Elle. She couldn't see, the darkness of the hood that was over her head stopped that. Still, she'd had worst plane flights. Or so she thought. Peter ran and grabbed some straps on the side of the plane. The guard and some cargo were sucked out. Claire rocked beside the pilot's seat. A prisoner near Elle was sucked out of the plane, still strapped to their seat. The straps broke, and Peter began to fall out of the plane. Mohinder reached out of his seat and grabbed him. Elle's seat began to break from the side of the plane, she was going t be pulled out any minute. Mohinder's grip on Peter loosened, and the plane tumbled to the ground.
