It's been at least two weeks now that Claire had moved in with Peter. With the extra room below them, DL and Nikki decided to rent the place out. Peter had kept most of his stuff and got those that Nikki had taken. The Second Generation was strong now that they were ultimately united and with new recruits. Some were even teenagers and Mohinder, Matt, Hiro, Peter and mostly everyone helped with the training. They needed to be ready if Sylar struck again.
Claire had found out that her friend Michelle had moved a little while ago and had forgotten to tell her according to an e-mail that her friend sent to her.
" God, Claire! I'm sorry forgot to tell you. But I'm coming and I'll tell you at your apt. K?" Claire read in the e-mail she replied and said that she'd meet her friend the next day.
It came fast and Claire just realized it. Peter groaned as she woke him.
" Claire, what's wrong?" he asked.
" I'm supposed to meet my friend today at the apartment."
" She's coming here don't worry." he sighed as he leaned back in bed tired from training some people yesterday.
" I never told her I moved."
Peter sat up and stared at her," When'd you tell her to meet you."
" In five minutes."
He turned to the clock at the bedside table," You'll never make it there in time. Let my fly you there."
She flashed a smile as she pulled on a jacket. He quickly got dressed before they headed to the balcony. He extended his hand to her.
" Wanna fly?" he asked.
" Sure." she said taking his hand and soon the two of them were in the air and were at Claire's former building.
" Hey, we're early." she smiled as she came to the floor and heard voices.
" Are you sure she's supposed to meet you here?" came a voice they realized was Sylar.
Peter pulled Claire close to him.
" I know she's coming here and she'll probably bring Petrelli." came Michelle.
" You know Candace, you realy outdid yourself." he replied.
Peter leaned to see that Sylar had kissed a girl standing at Claire's former apartment door. He learned that Sylar had already gained a power of sharpened hearing but was right now distracted.
" Pretend you don't know." he whispered and felt Claire nod into his chest.
They're here. he heard Sylar thought as he had heard their heartbeats.
" Candace they're here. Transform us."
" Sure thing."
Peter and Claire turned the corner looking as if they had walked.
" Michelle!" Claire shouted with fake amazement as she hugged her friend," Ooh, who's this?"
Sylar and Candace had changed appearance. Sylar was now looking like a blonde version of Matt. Candace or Michelle was still the way she knew her.
" Name's Ryan Sharn." Sylar said extending his hand to Claire and she shook it politely.
Ryan or Sylar turned to Peter," And you are?"
" Peter Petrelli." Peter replied shaking Sylar's head when at that moment he wanted to kill him.
" So, are you gonna let us in?" Michelle asked.
" Well, I moved too." Claire smiled," To a new address. God, I didn't even memorize it yet. Um, is Ryan your-"
" Boyfriend." Sylar came in.
Peter looked at Claire and that at Sylar giving a reluctant smile.
" Look, I just came to tell you I moved upstate. I don't think I'll be seeing you anytime soon." Michelle said.
Claire stared wide-eyed," Really?"
" Yeah, sucks right? And by the way-" she said and pulling Claire to the side out of earshot or so she thought of Sylar and Peter," Peter is way hot. You are so lucky."
" Ryan seems to be a good guy."
" Oh, please. He's a bad boy. That's why I like him."
Claire gave a smile and understood it.
" Um, Claire?" Peter asked.
Claire turned," Yes?"
" Um, Sam said in ten minutes and we've got to go."
" Aw, can't you come with us to dinner. We'll drive." Ryan offered.
" Sorry, but we've got to pick up Sam. It's our neighbor's nephew I volunteered to visit." Claire said.
Peter smiled as the two of them walked out of the hallway but stayed at the corner. Sylar and Candace happened to transform.
" Why didn't you do anything?" Candace asked Sylar.
" Infront of you. Are you sure you wouldn't be scared?"
" Sylar, don't do that. I'm not scared I think when we killed several of the Generation I proved that."
" Alright, but not now. Part of the Generation is upstairs. We won't be powerful enough yet. I can only use so much powers at once."
" Let's make a group of our own and then take their powers. Huh, how's that sound?"
" Ssh. I can hear him."
" Peter Petrelli?"
" Two heartbeats. I think they're around the corner."
Claire and Peter heard footsteps.
Oh,no. Claire thought. There was nowhere to go. She clung to Peter and dug her face into his chest. Her eyes closed and she saw just the blue fabric of his shirt.
Sylar and Candace turned to see no one. They exchanged glances and Sylar thought of the time when he had discovered Hiro and Ando in the apartment behind the painting. They had disappeared.
" That idea sounds great but let's see what Peter Petrelli and Claire do next."

Claire opened her eyes to see that they were at the apartment. Their apartment.
" How'd you do that?" she asked him.
" Teleportation, finally mastered it."
She gave a smile," Peter they won't stop until we're dead. And I want to do so many things before that happens."
" Claire, we'll live through this."
" You'll go nuclear like last time."
" Claire."
" No, Peter. I don't want to take that chance. We need to talk to Mohinder and the others and we need to give some suggestions on what'll happen."
" Claire, you told me when we moved in one thing you wanted to happen before you died was to get married."
She turned to him with a stare.
" Well, it's been two weeks and I really gave a lot of thought to it. I was going to do this later when we I was going to take you to the others but-"
He took her hand and got down on one knee.
" Peter." she whispered as he pulled out a velvet box from his pocket.
" Claire Bennet," he said and made eye contact with her, his chocalate eyes so sincere," Will you marry me?"
She smiled," Yes, Peter Petrelli, I will."
He slipped the ring on her finger before standing up and kissing her.
" I can't wait to tell the others." she whispered wrapping her arms around him.
