I don't own.
"Wake him up."
Therese glanced to Neviah, and lifted her power from the man lying in a lump on the floor, and he stirred. She kicked him. "Up." she said roughly. He had killed Adelinde. She had been her friend.
Danko rolled over and looked up to the people in the small room with him. Therese, Neviah, Alan, Claire, and three other men with guns, pointed right at him.
He assessed his surroundings, and stayed silent.
Claire stepped forward. "Why did you come alone? Where's everyone else?"
Danko stayed silent.
"She asked you a question. Answer it." One of the men with a gun said angerly.
He stayed silent.
"We could get a mind reader, if you want. Then you don't need to talk." Neviah said calmly.
He stayed silent.
Neviah sighed. "Fine. Someone go get Parkman."
Danko's eyes followed the man who had spoken before as he handed his gun to Claire, and left to get Matt.
"Are we going to kill him, Neviah?" Therese asked after a few seconds.
"Maybe." she answered evenly.
"I hope so." Claire added, surprising herself.
"Don't worry, Claire. You'll see him die, one way or another."
That didn't comfort her, as she would also see the death of everyone else in this room, one way or another.
After a few more minutes of slightly awkward silence, the man came back with Matt. Claire gave him back his gun.
"What do you guys want to know?" Matt asked.
"He's not talking. Claire will ask him what she needs to, and you will tell us the answers." Neviah explained.
Matt nodded.
Claire took a deep breath. "So, why are you here alone?"
Matt tilted his head towards the man. "Nathan fired him."
Claire blinked. "So no one knows you're here?"
Matt shook his head. "No. No one even knew he was trying to find us, at least for sure. He thinks that they at least guessed."
Claire nodded slowly, chewing on her lip. She didn't say anything for a while. "Do I still have free pass?" she asked finally.
"I was the only one who actually tried to get it taken away." Danko said. He looked to Matt. "Get out of my head."
Matt crossed his arms over his chest.
"So if I went back, they wouldn't arrest me?" Claire asked.
"No. Even though you were photographed with two wanted terrorists." he spat.
Claire rolled her eyes.
Neviah cleared her throat. "Therese, I believe we are done with him." Therese nodded, and Danko slumped to the floor, asleep. "Claire, come."
She walked out of the room, Claire and Alan following, and as they exited, Gabriel approached them, followed by Amanda, and Peter came from the other direction.
"What did you fond out?" Peter asked as he walked up.
"That Claire still has a free pass. I believe I know what she is considering, but I would like to hear it from her." Neviah said calmly.
Claire nodded. "I think I should go back, and try to convince my dad- my dads- to stop this."
"What is they arrest you?" Peter was quick to ask.
"That is why we will be sending someone with her. Someone who can go about unseen." Neviah explained.
"Alan?"
Alan shook his head. "I do not leave Neviah."
Peter nodded slowly. "So, I borrow your power, and I go with her."
Neviah shook her head. "Someone who can fight well invisible. Fight people with guns." she added.
Peter narrowed his eyes. "You mean Sylar." Neviah nodded. "So I'll take his powers."
"We need someone who can't accidentally lose his powers. Or trust the man who started this."
Peter ground his teeth. "Nathan, my brother."
"Yes."
"So you want to send Sylar with her. Alone."
Gabriel looked at Neviah, shocked.
"You doubt me." Neviah said calmly, her voice amused.
"No offence, but you're, what, eighteen? You can't understand how dangerous he is-" Peter started.
"I can't understand?" Neviah cut him off. "I have seen ever single murder he committed. Have heard the screams of every victim. I know how dangerous he is. But I also know you should understand the hunger. You have had it yourself. And it made you kill your brother."
Peter clenched his jaw.
"And you attempted to kill your mother." Alan added.
"So the fact that he has a hunger that makes him kill people, and I know how bad it can get, should make me let him go with Claire?"
"No. The fact that you have seen him be able to control his hunger should. And the fact he hasn't killed anyone here."
Peter sighed angerly.
"Besides. You do not have control over Claire." Alan added.
Line.
Claire stood silently beside of Neviah, alone, even Alan gone.
"So if I do this, you'll tell me who's keeping my mother?" Claire asked.
"Of course." Neviah said calmly.
"You're a little bit evil, aren't you?" Claire asked angerly.
Neviah smiled softly. "In the same way your grandmother is evil. Those of us that see the future, the hell on earth that's coming... you do what you have to, to stop it. Everyone has a roll to play in whats coming. But they may not all like who they are to be. And they need to be. And if it means that I must trick, threaten, and bribe, I will. Because if what I see happens..." she trailed off.
"What?"
"Then no one will be around to care if I manipulated them."
Cue ominous music. I'm happier with this chapter then the last one, and thanks to all the review! I forgot to say that on the last chapter.
I don't know when I'll get the next chapter up, as I haven't written it. But I'm not exactly a busy person, so I'll probably have it done soon.
Also, I realize I haven't had the NCIS characters in here for a while, but I promise next chapter will. Or, if not, the one after that.
