Chapter Two.
Costa Verde, California
Claire looks at Sylar, wide-eyed and scared out of her wits. She reacts before she even thinks about it and kicks Sylar and runs as fast as she can away from him.
She tries to make a break for the backdoor and run as fast as she can, knowing that he is much to powerful for even the "indestructible person." She looks behind her to see that he is not following her.
She glances back at her destination and notices Sylar leaning up against her exit. "Face it Claire, you don't have your precious daddy here to protect you, and you can't stop me from taking your power."
Claire looks around her kitchen, where the backdoor is located, and remembers the gun that is hidden underneath the counter. She slowly backs away from Sylar, making him think she is scared of him. Once she makes it to the counter, she swiftly takes the gun.
Little does she know, Sylar picked up enhanced hearing on his time away from hunting her, and heard her take the gun.
He turns around, allowing her to think that she has him nailed, but quickly uses his telekinesis to knock the gun out of her hand and put her up against the wall.
He doesn't say anything, and he doesn't make a move. The only thing Claire can do is think of her family. Her dad, her mom, Lyle, Meredith, Nathan, and Peter. She feels like a little kid. Calling out to her family in her head, as if they can even hear her…

Noah Bennet is crouched in a bush watching his target interact with another person. Suddenly a chill goes through him and he knows that something isn't right.
Manhattan, New York
Nathan Petrelli is in a Congress meeting, finally getting his act together when he healed for Peter's death a little bit. He suddenly felt a change in the air, and wonder what was going on.
Costa Verde, California, Outside the Bennet house.
Peter materializes right in front of where he assumes is where Claire is. He is just about to look for a way in when he hears a thud. Then, clear as day, as if she is standing right next to him. He hears "Peter."
He knows that he needs to get in there and save her. If anything were to happen, and he had the power to stop it, he would never forgive himself for failing his niece like that. It was his job as an uncle, and her hero to protect her.
Peter notices that the front door of the house is ajar. He thinks of Claude, and how he made him feel, and suddenly, he was invisible.
Peter crept towards the front door, knowing just how to open the door without it creaking. Not that it mattered. Sylar could hear him anyway. Sylar loosened his grip on Claire slightly turned around and yelled out "Who's there?! I know someone is here."
An evil smile spread across his lips and said "I can hear your heart rate speed up. Your scared. You should be, because when I get a hold of you. I will kill you."
As Sylar was looking for the intruder, Peter walked over to where Claire was up against the wall and debated whether he should get out now, or hurt this sadist that makes Claire live in fear. He chooses Claire's safety over his own personal revenge and takes her hand.
Claire gasps loudly, frightened by this unknown person who may or may not hurt her. Just as Peter is about to teleport them both out of here, Sylar throws Peter against the wall right next to Claire. Peter looses his focus and becomes visible again.
Claire yells out "Peter?!? How are you… you're…you're here?!" Even though she knows this is no time for reunions, she can't help but feel complete relief that Peter is here and alive.
Peter looks over at her and says, "I told your dads that I would protect you. Plus, I can't be much of a hero if I am dead now can I?"
Sylar looks onto the scene with new interest. "Well, well, well. It seems that I can just not get rid of you, can I Peter?" He looks at Claire and asks "What to do? Should I let you surrender now? Or would you rather you're Uncle Peter go first?"
She looks at him with wide eyes. "How did you.."
Sylar looks at her with a certain gleam in his eye and says "I know everything about you Claire. What makes you tick. What you can do. Who is most important to you." He puts his grip tighter on her. "Now, I am going to take your power. Then I will take Peter's."
He starts to cut her head, and Claire's screams fill the room. She struggles against the wall and tries to swing at him.
Peter can't stand to watch it and is yelling, "Claire! Stop it! I swear to god I will kill you, Sylar!"
The adrenalin running through Peter's veins is enough to make his powers a bit stronger, he uses telekinesis and throws Sylar back away from them. Claire and Peter both fall to the ground.
Before Sylar can make another move, Peter crawls over to Claire. Claire's cut has already been healed and she has dry blood in her hair and across her face.
Sylar is starting to regain his momentum and is getting up. Without anymore hesitation, Peter grabs onto Claire, and teleports them out of the Bennet house, and away from Sylar.
Sylar looks bewildered, but quickly regains his composure. Knowing that this isn't the last time he will see the two, he mutters to the empty room, "This isn't over Claire, and you certainly haven't won."
Sylar turns and walks out of the Bennet house, undetected, and into the safety of the darkness.
