I own nothing. I just love HEROES
Ch. 11 Bad Karma
I went to the hospital as fast as I could. I went in and asked for Peter. Peter came out moments later. He then brought me back Jade's room. When I saw my sister, she was white as a ghost. Like me, my sister had pretty tan skin so seeing her this white was shocking. She was definitely in a post-traumatic shock. I couldn't help but think this was justice. Jade made many people look the way she looked right now.
"Hi Sissy" I said.
"Gabby?" She said weakly. She had a large cut on her forehead. The same as I had when Jade made Gabriel attack me. I sat down next to her bed.
"What happened to you Jay?" I asked sweetly. I don't know what it was but I went to big sister mode.
"I don't know. I just was going to find you, and then someone grabbed me from the back. I didn't see anything" She sobbed.
"How did you know what his name was?" I asked.
"He was talking to him self" She said still sobbing. I gave her a minute to calm down.
"He kept mumbling. I manage to hear the name Cypher" She said croaking.
"I'm so sorry Jade" I said finally not knowing what else to say.
"I deserve it, for everything I done to everybody. I know I can be such a bitch sometimes but I can't help it. The only person that ever really put up with me was you. Now I don't have anyone" She said hysterically.
"Jade you have to calm down. The nurses would have us leave if you don't" I told her. She took a few minutes but she did. Maybe she was right, maybe she had so much bad karma built up.
"It was horrible" She said after a few minutes.
"I bet" I said.
"Lucky I was on the scene" Peter said.
"How did you find Jade" I asked him.
"My team responded to a call. She knew it was me and she asked me to call you" Peter said. Jade just sat there in the bed staring into space.
"How did you know it was Peter" I asked Jade.
"I saw you talk to him before when I came up to spy on you guys last year" She said.
"We have to find Cypher. Now that he had a victim escape he won't stop" Gabriel said.
"How do you suggest we go about doing that" Peter asked.
"Well he is obviously still in New York. Maybe we will get lucky" I said.
"We have to bring him out somehow" Gabriel said
"Why don't we all go home and get some sleep" I suggested. We all agreed.
"We will come back to visit tomorrow" I told Jade. She nodded.
"Why?" He asked.
"Well Jade needs a safe place to go to when she gets out of the hospital" I said.
"Yes far away from New York" He said.
"We all so need to find Cypher" I said.
"You mean me and Peter need to find Cypher" Gabriel said.
"I am not a china doll Gabriel" I said.
"I know but it's not good to but the baby under stress" He said. I just began to realize all the things that I couldn't do while I am pregnant.
"Ok fine but I want to help in the least stressful way" I said adding empathize on least.
"We'll talk about" He said. To hell we would.
I made good on my promise to go back to the hospital the next day. Jade was almost back to her bitchy self. When I told her after she was realized where she was going after she was realized from the hospital she was going with Noah. She threw a fit. I told her it was the only way she would truly be safe. She calmed down after I told her this.
The search for Cypher didn't start off well. There was nothing. I knew both Gabriel and Peter were getting frustrated. They tried everything they could think of to get more information. They asked Jade more question, but she said she didn't know what else she could say. I believed she wasn't lying. It must have been dark when she was attacked.
"It is like he vanished into thin air" Peter said exhaustedly on day. I made him lunch.
"It is very strange" I agreed.
"Erin said that he must have been doing this for years" Peter said.
"What makes you say that?" I asked him.
"Sylar was never that good when he was in his prime" Peter said.
About a week passed and still no leads. Elle came by on Friday to visit. She told me that Mohinder needed to help bring Noah to the company. This brought me a feeling of guilt. It was a hard decision but it was the only way to keep everyone safe. I knew that Jade wasn't safe from Cypher and we weren't safe from Jade.
"Why does he have to go with?" I asked her.
"Cause Noah is afraid she will give him problems along the way" Elle explained. I nodded.
"Well no one ever accused my sister of being sweet" I said. She sighed. I knew she was thinking about something else.
"What's wrong Elle?" I asked her.
"Nothing just worried" She said.
"What about?" I asked her.
"I think Erin might break up with Peter" She said. I was freaking out.
"WHAT!" I shouted. It was impossible.
"Ok what makes you think that?" I said after calming down.
"Well she said that she was getting frustrated with him" She said. I called Erin.
"Hey Erin is everything ok with you and Peter" I asked her.
"I guess he just been so distant with me lately" She said frustrated.
"Why did Elle say you might break up with him?" I asked.
"I was upset at the time, I didn't mean it" She said.
"Are you sure that is all it is?" I asked.
"Well it's also the fact that My sister and you are married. Peter and I aren't getting anywhere" she said.
"You want to get married" I said realizing what she meant. She confirmed this.
"Have you brought this up to Peter" I asked her
"No, I am afraid to" She admitted.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Cause he is weird about the subject of marriage" She said.
"Hang in there kid" I said. We said goodbye then we hung up.
"Any luck getting something out of her" Elle asked. I told her what Erin said.
"I wonder what's holding Peter back" Elle said.
"I don't know" I said. I was going to have to have a talk with Mr. Petrelli. I just needed to have a good time to do it. I knew that Erin was this close to ending things with him. I needed to get them to talk. I knew that Peter would be devastated if they broke up.
The search for Cypher had been put on hold. This upset Gabriel. I knew that he wasn't going to rest until he found him. I think Gabriel lost all hope in helping him. I told him that he recovered. He said that Cypher didn't have me. Everything seemed to have died down. Noah called to tell me that Jade made it to the company safely. Out of the blue I got a visit from Nate.
"Nate what's wrong?" I asked him.
"I need help, any help" He said.
"What is?" I asked him.
"I can't tell you" He said.
"Why not?" I asked him. It was weird; most people spilt their guts to me.
"Because if I do he would kill me" He said.
"Who?" I asked him.
"I have to go. I said to much" He said dashing out of my apartment.
"Nate wait" I shouted after him. He didn't her me. I tried calling his apartment but he didn't pick up. I then called Gabriel.
"Honey what's wrong" He said.
"Nate came by and he was acting weird" I said.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah I am. I want you to try and see if he is alright" I said.
"I will look pay a visit to him after work" He promised.
