(RECAP)
"Peter!" that got his attention he snapped his head around to look at her
"What did you do?" she asked not upset or annoyed, she was glad they were gone
"That wasn't me!" he responded still in shock
"No mate it was me!"
(END)
They both turned to face the direction from where the voice came only to find nothing there. Claire was confused but Peter smiled recognising the voice
Before Claire knew it there was a man standing in front of her
"You need to control your temper friend!" he said to Peter he then turned to Claire
"You young lady want to watch what you wear in public!" Claire rolled her eyes now having an idea who the man before her was, the one and only Claude!
"God you sound like my father!" Claire muttered
Claude chuckled obviously knowing something she didn't
"Yes well, we'll talk about that later" Claire frowned not quite understanding at first until a light switch was turned on in her head, but before she could respond, Peter who had been equally shocked by what Claude had just reviled, looked at his watch grabbed them both turning all three invisible and teleported them straight to Isaac's.
They arrived with just a few moments to spare. Matt laughed when they arrived he looked at his watch
"Your lucky Pete!"
Claude laughed
"We ran into some trouble on the way down" Peter answered simply
Claire leaned up and whispered in his ear
"I'll be back in a bit ok?" Peter nodded understanding that she needed answers from Claude and she needed them now!
Claire dragged Claude who was standing to her right towards a room away from the party
Peter watched them leave and then turned to Matt and explained what had happened on there way here.
"So let me get this straight, you nearly lost control, then Claude came beat the crap out of this guy and then he said he was Claire father?"
"He didn't actually say it but he did in his own way you know?"
Matt rubbed his temple he was very confused
Meanwhile, Claude was explaining everything to Claire, about her mom, about him and the company and being Noah Bennett's partner. He told her that no one knew he was her father even him and that no one knew he had been with Meredith.
"She never told me she was pregnant, she hated my job I could never tell her what I was doing. So we felt it better to end it, I loved her too much to hurt her"
Claire was almost in tears.
"When we where sent to the apartment after the fire and they found you I was heart broken I figured she found someone else and was happy. They told us she died, I was heart broken, they gave you to Bennett and that was the last I saw of you."
He carried on not in much detail he didn't tell her it was Bennett that shot him, she didn't need to know that the man she called dad for 16 years tried to kill him. He just said that the company had him shot and they think that he's dead
"About a month ago when I was looking threw the old files I have, I came across a medical report for Meredith, it wasn't there before. And it said she was alive so I went looking I found her and she told me everything about what had happened and she told me that you had found her, and that you were mine."
There was a knock on the door.
"Yeah?" Claire asked
It was Peter
"Sorry guys but he's almost here" Claire smiled at him
"Ok we'll be right there"
After he left Claude smiled
"You love him don't you?" Claire smiled and nodded
"For a long time"
"You know he feels the same right?" she laughed
"So everyone else tells me!"
Claude laughed too
As they stood to leave he grabbed her arm
"I know you still think of Bennett as your father the man raised you and if I do say so myself he finally done something right! But I'm here and I'm going to be sticking around if you need me. I don't know what kind of father I would have been to you back then, but I'd like to see what kind I could be now!"
"I'd like that too"
They didn't hug they weren't ready for that yet, it would take time. Claire stopped at the nearest mirror to check her face; she touched up her makeup, took off her coat and went to join the others.
