Chapter 100

.

Note: 100 chapters, a fairly significan milestone. Just want to thank those who made it worth my effort. Also, the characters of Claire and Elle are from the television series "Heroes."

.

Among those who saw Lenin's suprise broadcast was Elle. Elle had been somewhat of a villain on her old world, some considered her a sociopath. She was part of a unit that tried to monitor "Evolved Persons" and was one herself. She controlled electricity, but her powers began spinning out of control. Elle turned to help from an old enemy, Claire Bennett. Claire helped her, but Elle betrayed Claire and allied with the evil Sylar. Sylar betrayed and murdered Elle, the next thing she remembered was being tortured in Hell. Evil gave Elle the chance to leave, make a life for herself in this new world, but Elle was expected to serve Evil in some way. As soon as she got here, Elle realized what was expected of her. Her powers were evolving beyond her control. Pretty soon, she would literally explode, and kill hundreds to thousands of people. Elle had not doubt that this incident would be used to generate more hatred of alien refugees. Maybe then Elle would be given more comforts in Hell, do better than some. But she could not do that, could not be a part of so many innocent deaths. Elle moved to a secluded spot in the Mojave desert, when she exploded she would kill only herself. She also kept a gun in her trailer, if she sensed anyone coming she would turn it on herself, make sure that, only she died. Elle doubted that this would be enough to avoid being sent back to Hell, but it was the best she could do. But seeing Lenin's podcast, he was willing to try and do good on this planet. Elle wondered, could she do some good too? Elle had a phone number, suppossedly it was for her old friend/enemy Claire. Elle knew she had betrayed Claire once, tried to kill her more times than that. Still, if there was anyone who could withstand Elle's intense electricity, it would be her. So Elle decided to take a chance.

Claire: Who is this?

Elle: Hey cheerleader.

Claire: Elle? I thought you were dead.

Elle: I was, so were you from what I hear.

Claire: Fair point. What do you want?

Elle: My powers are increasing. At this rate, I'll probably explode in a few days.

Claire: Ofcourse, Evil wants you to kill people and increase hatred of alien refugees.

Elle: Pretty much.

Claire: I'll kill you myself before I let that happen.

Elle: Can't say I blame you. I was hoping you could help me control my powers. I don't want to kill anymore.

Claire: And why should I trust you this time?

Elle: I guess, I can't think of a single reason why you'd believe me now. I guess I'll just blow my brains out.

Claire: Don't do anything rash.

Elle: Almost sounds like you're worried about me.

Claire: I just have a good idea where you'll go when you die. I'd rather you not be given more incentive to join Team Evil.

Elle: Always the chance that my self-sacrifice would be enough to get into Heaven. Still not much of a chance, but it's the best I can do right now.

Claire: Give me some time to find you. Hopefully some people here can open a portal, Antarctica has enough open space that you could explode safely, if we fail to help you control your powers.

Elle: Okay, you have 12 hours, or I'll make sure that my death won't be used for propoganda by the SBA.
