Chapter 4 "Forgotten Sanity"
Jenny was getting worried. Her dad had been gone for awhile and her brother still wasn't back. She had an odd feeling in the pit of her stomach. She paced the apartment several times. What if the cops had thought it was her brother who had done 'it'? What if they had him in custody? He would be sent to death row all because of her! She knew these thoughts were irrational, but she didn't care. She hurriedly walked out of the apartment and ran down the street. She hailed a cab over to her when she saw her father and brother in an alley. How odd, she thought. She walked towards them when she saw a blonde woman pinned to the wall. She ran towards them.
"Dad! What are you doing?" She asked, outraged.
"Jenny." Noah and her dad said at the same time. The woman against the wall looked over at her in confusion.
"Jenny, this has nothing to do with you." Her dad said calmly.
"Like Hell it doesn't! Are you and Noah going to kill her? You told me Noah didn't have the same ability as us!" Noah looked in horror at his sister. His father had never told him about that. Noah cut his sister off in mid rant. Noah turned on his dad.
"When were you going to tell me about this?"
"We just found out last night." Gabriel said calmly. The three of them started fighting again.
"What happened?" Noah asked his sister.
"Nothing, okay! It's in between me and dad."
"Hey! Both of you stop acting like little children! I want you both to cool off and discuss this somewhere else where people won't be staring at us like a bunch of lunatics. For now, you'll both shut your mouths and help me with this situation." Both kids shut their mouths and listened to their father. Claire, who was still hovering against the wall, was surprised at how much Gabriel sounded like her own Father.
"Who is she?" Jenny asked Noah.
"Either she's a shape shifter... or our mom." Claire rolled her eyes. So the girl had blonde hair and the boy had green eyes, it didn't mean she was their mom. No way in hell would she ever shack up with Sylar.
"I am definitely not your mother. My husband was Wes, not Sylar." She said in a dangerous whisper.
"We'll figure this out." Gabriel said. Sirens could be heard in the background. They were getting closer.
"Noah take your sister with you. We're going to grand-pa's."
"Whoah, whoah. What are you talking about? "Noah take your sister?" What does that even mean?" The eighteen year old asked in confusion. Noah got up from the ground.
"It means we're going to fly." Noah said irritably to his sister.
"Fly? What- Noah you're bleeding!" She exclaimed.
"It's fine." Noah showed her where he had been shot.
"See?" He said. Jenny looked absolutely confused. She had gone three shades paler. This was too much, too soon. Before she could protest any further Gabriel grabbed Claire and Noah grabbed Jenny. They shot up into the sky.
Claire was pounding Gabriel's chest and pushing him away.
"If you don't want to fall, then stop that." He said in a steely tone, though his eyes, to Claire's surprise and disgust, were filled with concern and love. She stopped pushing against him and went limp in his arms. Her head rested defeated against his chest. She didn't want to go back to the Institute. Involuntary tears streamed down her cheeks. She felt a finger swipe them off her cheeks.
"I know you don't know what's going on Claire, but everything will be alright." He said in a soft, caring tone. Claire wanted him to be angry with her. She didn't like this side of him. For some reason she didn't hate the caring father, who called himself Gabriel. And that made her want to kill him less. She needed to hate him. She wanted the old Sylar back so that she'd have a reason to be angry; a reason to kill him. They continued flying in the sky towards God knows where, until they were over familiar neighbourhood. Claire looked up at Sylar in surprise. They had just landed in her old back yard.
