Chapter 3
Bodyguards and Paintings
Somewhere on the outskirts of Las Vegas Nathan skids to a halt before letting go of Claire. He looks at the bottom of his shoes to find them covered in dirt and very scuffed.
"Damn these are brand new" Claire turns to him looking a little overwhelmed.
"You can fly! That was incredible I've never done anything like that"
"Yea well just don't tell anyone" he brushes some sand off of his trousers "I still need to work on my landing" he grabs her arm and looks her over "are you ok? No injuries?"
"I'm fine"
"Good, that's the first time I've flown with a passenger". Claire suddenly realizes something.
"Back there at the car that guy called you Mr Petrelli?"
"Yea he did what's your point?"
"Your name is Nathan Petrelli?"
"Yep future congressman for New York"
"You wouldn't happen to know a Peter Petrelli would you?"
"Yea, my brother's name is Peter" Claire sighs "what is it?"
"You remember I told you I wanted to find someone in New York?" he nods "well that person is Peter Petrelli"
"Why are you looking for him?"
"He saved my life and I wanna ask him about a few things"
"He did?" something clicked in Nathan's head "wait are you the cheerleader?" Claire nods. Nathan shakes his head "of course"
"How did Peter know I would be in danger?"
"Because of a painter" Nathan starts walking along the road with Claire following him.
"A painter?"
"Yea Issac, he…" Nathan pauses and turns to look at her "this is gonna sound crazy. He can paint the future"
"He can?" they start walking again
"Yea he can and after he painted you getting attacked Peter decided it was his destiny to save you"
"He said he had to save me to save the world"
"Yea well I don't really know anything about that" Nathan looks up and notices a gas station ahead of them "I can call a car from that gas station over there".
Odessa, Texas
Primatech Paper
Mr Bennet slams his fists into the glass wall of his cell, he's still in his suit but now it's dirty and ruffled.
"Let me out of here damn it!" he slumps himself against the wall with his hands on the side of his head.
"I gotta get out of here". The camera pulls back and the scene changes into a painting resting on an easel in…
Lower Manhattan
New York
Issac stumbles backwards from the easel and glances around the room at eight different paintings around him. There's three of him with his head cut off each from different angles, there's one of Mr Bennet in the cell, one of Nathan shooting into the air with Claire, one of Ando and Hiro standing on the roof of the Deveaux building looking at destroyed New York, a painting of Jessica holding a gun looking at Nikki without a gun in the mirror and finally to the far right a painting on Peter with a hand around his throat and a cut across his forehead. Issac stares blankly at the paintings before grabbing one of himself and hurling it across the room. He sinks to his knees and puts his head in his hands. He lifts his head and notices the gun lying on the floor in front of him. He glances at the paintings of himself then to the one of Peter.
Outskirts of Las Vegas
Gas Station
Nathan and Claire watch as a black posh car pulls into the old beat up gas station. Immediately noticing the stares from the natives Nathan ushers Claire towards the car and opens the back door. They both climb in and are startled by a voice from the passenger seat.
"Hello again handsome" Jessica waves the gun at them from the front seat as the car pulls out of the gas station
"Nikki?"
"Oh Nikki's not here right now, she already had her freebie" Jessica smirks at them. Nathan pauses for a minute, a look of confusion crossing his face"
"Then who are you?" he asks slowly
"I'm Jessica, don't you remember me from that night at the hotel" she grins flirtatiously at him. Nathan just glares at her
"Why are you here?"
"Well you got yourself in a bit of trouble and since Mr. Linderman sees you as 'important'" she makes quotations with her fingers "he sent me to be your bodyguard" she says the last word with disdain.
"I already have security staff"
"You don't really have a choice here" Jessica turns around signaling the conversation is over.
"I'm kinda lost" Nathan glances at Claire and smiles.
Ok end of chapter 3 umm I hope you enjoy this I worked with a sore hand to finish it. Uh I went with the whole Nikki/Jessica as a bodyguard because it just seemed to be logical, I'm not sure how long she will be with Nathan or how this is gonna play out so we'll see. Oh and to the people who reviewed thank you it made me want to finish this chapter quicker. By the way they are:
