Antonia was perturbed by the message from Rebel; she did not know anyone in Los Angeles and was not sure who she was in danger of. She thought everything was going as planned and once Danko was out of the picture they would all be safe again and able to live their lives normally, or however normally they could.

Later in the day she saw Gabriel and she told him about the message she received.

"Danko and I are going to LA anyway, there is a shape shifter that we need to catch" Gabriel seemed apprehensive about her going, he didn't really want her involved in this life and thought it would best that she go back to work and her family, there wasn't any need for her to keep putting herself into danger.

"I'm going with both of you, Gabe, I know it's a change in plan but I think we need to follow this through"

They arrived in Los Angeles late into the night. Once she got off the place she noticed Rebel had sent her another message with an address and told her to go there immediately.

She arrived and saw her sister and brother; they were with a group of other people she had never met before.

"Kayla, what is going on, why are you doing"

"Tonia, we couldn't tell you before, but a group of us are trying to stop what Nathan and the government is doing. Do you see Micah over there, he is Traci's nephew, he can talk to machines. Molly can find anyone in the world and we are working with Noah and Angela"

"Who is Noah, Kayla?" she was still in awe of what was going on and why this had anything to do with her. Antonia had her own plans with Gabriel to stop this.

'Noah Bennett is Claire's dad"

"Claire, I have heard of her"

"How, how do you know about me?" Antonia saw a petite, young blond about 17 years old. Green eyes, lighter than hers but still a lovely person

"Claire..." Antonia whispered "We have a mutual..." she trailed off not knowing what to call him "I know Gabriel"

"Who is Gabriel?" she asked

Kayla took Claire's hand "Sylar, he's not dead Claire, he's alive and in Washington DC now"

"I killed him Kayla! I saw the building burn, my grandmother said they found dental records...but I had this feeling I KNEW it" Claire turned to Antonia

"How do YOU know about him?"

"Claire..." she still didn't know what to say to her

Seth came to the rescue "Basically, long before any of us knew about this Sylar, he was just Gabriel Gray and my sister Tonia here, she dated him and they have a son"

"Sylar has a child?" she looked dumb founded "WHAT gives him the right to have a CHILD?"

"I understand why you are upset, I understand better than you think Claire" Antonia wanted to comfort her, she sat down with Claire and talked to her

"Claire I have an ability too, and I think you helping like this makes you such a strong person. I was attacked too when I was your age and it is hard to understand how anyone like that can have any good in them..."

"So he is in Washington DC right now?" Claire asked

"No, he's here"

"WHAT"! She heard Kayla exclaim "Why, he should not be here Tonia"

"We're partners in this"

"Yea and Danko is not to be trusted I was trying to get you away from him"

"He's here Kayla, I feel so stupid...."

"You don't think he is going to try to kill Sylar the minute he is not important to him anymore?"

"Kayla, how did you get involved"

"It was mom's idea, she and Angela go way back"

"Okay, I need to find Gabriel"

Antonia and Seth went on a search throughout LA to look for Gabriel, since Nathan had stepped down it was just him they had to worry about. Once he was out of the picture and their abilities were out in the open things would be different.

Molly found them at a bar where they were supposedly looking for someone. She had a feeling any power would be irresistible to Gabriel, but she wasn't worried about that.

On the car ride over she was able to talk to Seth more

"How are you feeling?" she asked

"Better, I can control my ability AND I even have an audition when I get back"

"I'll be in the front row Seth"

'That's if I get it" he chuckled

"You'll get it, you're the best"

"I am" he playfully tousled her hair and rolled his eyes "I'm okay...So...you really care about this guy?"

"He's Noah's dad, I have to"

"I'm glad he's with mom now, are you still going to have a job after this Tonia?"

"Yea, I have a lot of vacation time" she smiled at her brother as the parked the car

They separated while looking for Gabriel. All they saw was Danko and all Antonia remembers is a searing pain in her chest then, nothing.

Seth called Kayla on her cell phone calmly "Kayla, put Molly on the phone please"

"Are you okay Seth?"

His voice was shaking "I need for you to put Molly on the phone and then I am going to come back" He asked Molly to find Gabriel; he was just down the street. He saw him as he was waiting in a coffee shop, probably awaiting word from Danko

Seth approached him "Excuse me, are you Gabriel?"

"Why?" he asked coldly, he didn't recall who this person was.

"I'm Antonia's brother, she's dead"

His knees buckled and he felt like someone punched him in the stomach

"No, she can't be" Sylar used his lie detecting ability to see it was the truth "Where is she?" "How did this happen?" he asked coldly

"It was Danko, he saw her and he shot her in the chest, she was dead before she hit the ground?"

"Why was she there, why wasn't she with Rebel or Traci or WHOEVER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE KEEPING HER SAFE" he was screaming at him now

"She went to stop him"

Sylar was holding back tears "I need to see her"

They went out to the car and he held her in his arms and stroked her hair "Please, please come back...Annie, please" he kissed her on her forehead

"What happened to Danko"

"I shot a couple of times I think I got him, I don't know"

"You don't KNOW, your sister is dead, and you don't know' he felt nauseated and empty much like when Elle died, only this felt worse, it felt like when his mom died...

"She was going to work with us, with Kayla and Claire"

Sylar looked up at him "Claire Bennett?"

"Yes"

"Where is she? Take me to her NOW"

They drove back to the apartment. Antonia had stopped bleeding and she looked so peaceful "It wasn't supposed to end this way, you weren't supposed to leave me so soon. What about our family.....please come back Annie, please" he was still holding her tightly, she carried her upstairs, Seth tried to stop him

"I don't want Kayla to see her sister dead"

"Bring her into an empty apartment, she has her medical kit in her suitcase, she always does. I will get Claire" Sylar said firmly

"Claire won't speak to you" Seth looked shocked

"I will make her, I don't care"

He burst in the door and as soon as he saw Claire he TKd her to the wall "I need you"

"Like I would help you Sylar, leave me alone!"

"No, you don't understand, your blood heals and I need your blood for someone"

Kayla looked horrified "Whose hurt?"

Sylar turned to Kayla "You're sister is dead, but Claire, she can save her"

Kayla started to cry "You, why did you come with her? Why did you bring Danko? You said you wouldn't hurt us Sylar"

"I know, so I'm trying to fix it" He looked back at Claire "All she wanted to do was help people, she needs to be okay, she didn't deserve this, she's good. She has a son Claire, she has a family, she's a doctor...the only thing she did wrong was care about me. IF you save her, I will leave you and your family alone but I swear if you don't, I PROMISE you that your life will be hell forever, and I do mean forever Claire"

Claire knew he was serious. She knew what she had to do. They went into the vacant apartment and injected Claire's blood into Antonia.

Seth lead Claire out of the room so Gabriel could be alone with her. He sat by her side and held her hand. He saw the bullet pop out and heard her cough. She looked up at him and smiled "was I sleeping?"

"You're okay, oh thank you...." he kissed her on the forehead "it was all dark Gabriel, then I saw my father, I was dead?'

"For a bit" he said softly "you're okay now, I need to get you home, please just stay far away from this mess" He fiddled around in his pocket "I bought you something" he kissed her

"Wait, slow down Gabriel. I was dead? How did I come back?"

"Claire's blood"

"How did you get Claire's blood?"

"She gave it to you" he started to clean her up a little "You're okay Annie, you need to rest, I'll tell your family"

'Who killed me?"

"Danko"

"So what do we do about this Gabe"

"WE don't do anything"

Antonia stood up

"Be reasonable about this Gabriel, I am the only one who gives a damn about you right now. If someone does something to you and you can't heal, who is going to help?" She wrapped her arms around his waist and looked him dead in the eyes.

"Just be normal Antonia, just because you can't kill, or run around saving people doesn't make your not special. Annie, just go, you have our son, you have a job" He was pleading with her right now and he needed her to understand that he would be fine alone

"I won't be able to get to you on time if someone shoots you in the back of the head Gabe" She stroked his face and kissed him. "We keep trying to get rid of each other, maybe we should just work together"

"You died today; it was the worst pain I have ever felt since my mom died. Let's go see your family, we'll decide what to do after"

"You do a lot for me Gabriel, let me help you"

"I don't do that much, just take you to dinner and have a copious amount of sex with you"

She laughed "Right, right"

"Before we go back to the apartment, I want to give you something, I saw it and it reminded me of those earrings I bought you in SoHo" She remembers, he bought her a 2 dollar pair of red stone earrings shaped like flowers. They were polished and looked like rubies to her.

He took out a platinum band with an intricate array of rose quartz, diamonds and pearls, it looked vintage and unique.

"Thank you Gabe" She for a moment looked a bit anxious and he smiled at her.

"Do you like it?' he asked

'I do' she was smiling from ear to ear and for a second was waiting for an inevitable question when one gets a ring, but it didn't happen

"Let's go see your family"

When she walked in her sister ran to her and hugged her. She hugged back and thanked Claire for what she had done. Her sister saw the ring and screamed "YOU'RE ENGAGED!!!!"

"No, no Kayla, no" she shook her head lightly

"Sorry, so what was heaven like. I am sure you didn't see Megan, she is you know.."

"KAYLA! She is still your sister. It was fine, but I would rather be here with you guys"

They talked for a little while longer and she noticed Gabriel had left without saying good bye. She wanted to run after him but she had begun talking to Claire and everyone and she thought that he would be okay without her for now. However, if he wasn't back in an hour she was going to look for him.

He arrived in a dingy parking lot. It had gotten colder and he shoved his hands in his pocket. Danko approached Sylar

"So, we're almost done" Sylar towered over Danko it was almost comical.

"We had a deal Danko, I don't just work with anyone, I didn't decide to team up with you because I believe if what you're doing. I'm one of them, we had a deal, you touched my family, you killed someone I care about."

He didn't even let him speak, he blasted him with so much electricity no one would even know it was him. All that was left was ashes.

When he returned he brought Antonia into another room.

"So Danko is gone now"

"Okay, now what do we do Gabe"

"We have to get back to DC for one thing, I'm sure his agents or whoever are going to be looking for whomever killed him"

"Probably, and after that?" she sat him down

"I was hoping we could get a house and raise Noah and we could do our own thing"

"I see, Gabe I see"

"We could go to Europe, wherever you want to go. I don't think I will ever change Annie and I can't go back"

"We'll figure it out Gabe"

"I wanted to try something, that power with warping reality, is there a place you have always wanted to go?"

"Fiji would be nice right now Gabe" she smiled and nestled her head against his shoulder. He kissed her and when they broke away she saw clear blue water, felt the warm breeze and looked down at them wearing their bathing suits and sitting on a blanket surrounded by exotic food and fruity drinks

"This is amazing!" she gasped "So we are IN a hotel room but I am seeing...."

He silenced her with a kiss "I would do anything for you"

"Can I really eat the food?" she giggled a little

He laid down and pulled her on top of him. She was sure they were actually on the floor but to her they were on a white sandy beach and she ran her fingers through his hair and he sighed as she ran her fingers down his body, taking in every inch of him "you're really hot, do you know that?" she asked him and he rolled his eyes at her "shhh, just kiss me Annie, you're ruining the moment" he hated how much he ached for her sometimes, he hated that he loved her. He wanted to talk to her more about Elle, could he have loved her more than Antonia, he sometimes thought about that Elle kissed different than her, Elle didn't run her fingers through his hair, but Antonia wasn't Elle and it was hard on him, he cared about Elle but with Antonia he could be himself and when he was with her he felt nearly human. "I love you Annie, but if you ever leave me like that again I don't know what I will do"

After they were done, they were transported back to real life. They were naked with their clothes strewn about the room. They entered the next room to spend some time with Kayla, her sister quietly said to her "you're button is crooked, you know I hope you have protection" she winked at her sister and shook her head.

"Kayla, I think we need to go home soon" Antonia sat with her sister in the apartment, everyone else had left and Sylar was sleeping on the couch.

"Tonia, you're just going to leave him?"

"I have to, I need to get back to Noah, he'll come back"

"I think you're playing kind of a dangerous game Tonia, I worry about you"

"Why?"

"You're being impetuous, you don't need to be everything for everyone. You're flirting with danger for lack of a better phrase. I mean you two cannot even keep your hands off of each other"

"Kayla, when you die and come back to life you let me know what you would be in the mood for" she smiled at her

"Tonia, seriously, stop. Don't joke" she was serious and looked her sister firmly in the eye

"Kayla, I know it may seem like I am being reckless and not thinking things through, but there is a plan in place and I am seeing it through. That plan involves getting us home soon"

"Are you not afraid of what will happen to him?"

"Why do you care some much Kayla?"

"I actually kind of like him Tonia, you need to be careful, you need to guard your heart and stop fooling around carelessly and you need to stay here because if you run they will follow you. You cannot afford to play around, you cannot afford to get pregnant again, so you need to listen to me" Antonia felt as though her sister had a point

"I haven't heard from Traci in a while Kayla, try to call her for me"

She started to quietly pack her bags to leave, she was going to start on her sisters bags when Kayla came back into the room

"Tonia, they can't find Traci. They think she made her way back to DC"

"She'll contact me, I'm not worried"

"Are you going to say good bye to Gabriel before you leave?"

"He is asleep, I don't want to wake him" she pulled her coat on and her sister blocked her from leaving "Don't, I am not coming with you, I will just stay here with him"

"Kayla...."

"Fine go Tonia, go home and I'll be back in a couple of days"

Antonia wasn't totally sold on the idea of Kayla staying with Gabriel, she was young and didn't have any defenses.

When she got on the plane she dosed off for a bit. She saw herself at home and it was sunny, suddenly it was storming and dark. She walked outside and saw Gabriel standing in the rain, he stared at her "I forgot to ask you something" he said to her coldly "what do you need to ask me?"

"I wanted to marry you, we will have a daughter soon, I wanted you, you didn't have to be afraid of me" She then saw blood coming out of the back of his neck, his eyes rolled in the back of his head and he collapsed. She got on her knees screaming as she realized there was nothing to pull out, there was nothing to save him, there was no healing. She was drenched in his blood now and she laid her head on his chest. She wasn't pregnant. She wanted her little girl...

She screamed and saw she was still at the airport. The person beside her was startled "Sorry, it was a bad dream"

"It's okay dear" the kind old lady said "Our plane has been delayed until the morning, we need to stay here for the night"

Antonia tried to go back to the dream, to see if there was anything else she could see. The only thing she saw in her next dream was Gabriel in bed with another woman, she thought it was Elle at first. He was kissing her and they were naked, when she looked closer she saw it was Kayla. When she woke up again she went back to the apartment building, clearly leaving wasn't part of the equation anymore.

When she arrived it was early morning. Her sister was in her own room and Gabriel was still on the couch snoring.

"Wake up! NOW!" He was startled

"Annie, what are you doing, why aren't you in bed"

"I had a dream again, I went to the airport to leave, I didn't want to get into your way and then you died and you had sex with my sister...."

"What? Come here you, and people say I'm the crazy one. You just had a very bad dream, you've been going through a lot sweetie"

"You asked me to marry you before you died"

"Did I?"

"We are going to have a daughter, but it wasn't mine"

"You need to rest Annie" he kissed her on the forehead and carried her to the bedroom. He laid next to her "I can't die and as for your sister, she's 17 and I only want you, so don't worry"

"Do you want to marry me one day Gabe?"

"Sure Annie, whatever you want. Just get some rest"

Sylar was beginning to think with this new power she was going to become a bit of a liability. She knew that many of Angela's dreams came true no matter how hard she tried to change them. He was concerned mostly with the dying part, all of the other stuff could be easily prevented, he had no clue where it could be coming from. He wanted ultimate power but a life like Noah Bennett had and he was on his way to getting it, so why would he mess it up by screwing around with Antonia's sister and getting himself into messy situations?

He left for the day and contemplated his next move. While Antonia slept she saw herself at 90 years old being taken care of by a tall, dark, handsome man that she could barely remember. Her real self knew who he was, but in her dream she couldn't remember him "I think I might lose you for real Annie, there is no going back" he kissed her on the head "I love you"

She woke up startled again. Once she gets back Antonia vowed to have someone get rid of this ability, she hated dreaming the future. All that she saw was sadness and pain.

Her sister came out of her room "I knew you would come back Tonia"

"I'm having dreams again Kayla, I hate them"

"What kind of dreams"

"Last night I dreamt Gabriel died, I was going to have a daughter and he slept with you..."

"Wait, you dreamt I had sex with your boyfriend, come on now Tonia" she laughed "He's not my type, so you don't have to worry"

"My dreams in some way come true Kayla"

"Tonia, when I say he is not my type I mean guys like him...in general not my type"

She smiled at Kayla "I see, I see. Thank you, for not you know"

"No, I mean I am not saying he isn't attractive, he is a bit nuts... but attractive"

"I'm going to get old Kayla, he never will. I also saw me at 90 and he was the same age as he is now. He was still caring for me, I can't do that to him"

"Let's get breakfast, try to contact Traci and then I think we need to talk to someone"

"Sounds good, thanks Kayla" Antonia was getting extremely annoyed that these dreams were causing her so much stress, it was foolish to think she couldn't control her power, but it was eating her up inside.

"He asked me to marry him Kayla, in my dream he said he wanted to marry me. I need to learn how to control this power, my dreams are turning me into a paranoid maniac"

"It's fun when you can knock people over with wind and create tornados but no, not everyone wants to see the future" Kayla was grateful that her power wasn't s burden like the dreams were to Antonia.

"They're obscure too, I don't get it, but their taking its toll and turning me into someone I don't want to be Kayla. I want to be strong and they are making me weak"

Her sister handed Antonia her coat and they left "Let's deal with contacting Traci first, then we can see about getting your power under control, it should be a good thing, not a burden'

As she was driving with Kayla Antonia got a phone call from Gabriel

"Our daughter, did you see her?' he asked without saying hello

"No, in one dream I was pregnant and I was getting married the other you mentioned it"

"We might have a daughter one day, a little girl?"

"Maybe"

"She won't leave the house until she's 50"

"Oh, come on, make it 45 it is only fair"

"I know, I know. Maybe we could find a way to make you immortal like me, and I wouldn't have to lose you?"

"That's pretty impossible Gabe, where are you?"

"I'll be back soon"

" if you believe the dreams I am having you probably also believe you slept with my sister"

"I thought you slept with my brother, we're even" he said sarcastically

"Peter is not your brother"

"Technically"

"Don't sleep with my sister"

"I won't, if you marry me"

"You did not just propose to me over the phone"

"I can propose to you wherever the hell I want Annie"

"Yes I'll marry you, but I better get a kiss when I see you next"

"There will be more than just kissing, I have to go" and he hung up

Antonia turned to her sister "I guess I'm engaged..." she trailed off

Kayla screamed "I am so happy, so I can't sleep with him then"

'NO!"

"You know, maybe it wasn't supposed to me, maybe he needed an immortal like....Claire?"

"OH! Kayla, just drive. I got a text message from Traci saying she is fine but don't bring her up again to anyone, she would explain later so after breakfast we are going to go wherever you wanted to go help me with these dreams"

"So are you two really going to be a family, will you be able to?"

"It's interesting Kayla, seeing someone that can scare the crap out of you holding something small in his arms. Neither of us will change but hopefully our kids won't be too messed up" Antonia laughed and looked forward to seeing Gabriel eventually. She wanted to kiss his lips, feel his stubble against her neck, smell his cologne and feel his strong arms around her and feel normal at least for a moment.
