Celebrations
Within the the hour they were all at the Petrelli mansion around the dinner table helping themselves to all the takeout they had bought. Hiro had even teleport all the way to Japan to get his sister so she could join in on the fun.
As they all sat down at the table with the friends and lovers Nathan stood up and said "Looks like well be able to live our live in peace from now on" They all cheered in agreement and then Nathan said "That's not the only bit of good new I have, you are looking at a presidental candidate for the next election" he said and the group cheered esspecially Peter. Finally Nathan turned to Tracy who was sitting on his right and said "Tracy, If i do become President, will you be my First Lady".
They were plenty of cheers for them and Tracy said blushing "We'll see". Now it was Hiro's turn as he looked at Charlie and said "Come to Japan with me". "I don't know Hiro, I've always wanted to see the world but i've lived my whole life in Texas" she said flattered but unsure.
"You have gotten a second chance at life like Buffy, do what ever you want with it" he said. "Well suppose i can't exactly go back to the Burnt Toast Diner, they'd think i was a zombie so yes i'll go with you" she said. They cheered as she and Hiro kissed. While they were cheering Kimiko whispered to Ando in Japanese "What did she mean when she said zombie". "I'll explain later" he said.
Charlie turned to Kimiko and said "We haven't met yet I'm Charlie and I hope you don't mind another guest at your cause Hiro asked me to be his date to it". "Not at all, it nice to see my little brother has finally found someone" she said smiling.
"Well Emma and me are going back to Med school and in a couple of years you'll be calling us Dr. Petrelli and Dr. Coolige" Peter said putting his arm around the woman he loved who kissed him on the cheek. "What are you two going to do " she asked Daphne and Matt.
"Well we are going to head back home and Matt here is giong to introduce me to the little cutie he can't shut up about" Daphne said patting Matt on the back. "You and Molly are going to love each other" he said. "Wow I'm going to act all momish" Daphne said.
"Well your not going to be alone you have me and Mohinder to help you" Matt said. "Don't forget about me" Maya said. "Really" Mohinder said looking quite surprised. "Well I can't let you three rise her, God only knows how she going to be taken care of properly" Maya said joking.
"I'll have you know Me and Matt took perfectly good care of Molly before we even met you and Daphne" Mohinder said. "Oh really, well then maybe i'll just stick around cause I miss a certain professor" she said. She and Mohinder smiled and Matt said "We're going to need a bigger place".
"What are you going to do Dad" Claire asked Noah. "Well, I got to go tell your mother that your safe at least i think so, then I got to find some way to break the news to her and then i'm going to pray to god that she find it in her heart to forgive me for bringing all this crap into her life and hope she doesn't kick me out" he said.
"Oh do you want me to come with you" she asked. Before he could answer Angela said "That's a good idea then both of Claire's family can finally discuss her relationship". Noah looked at her with an angry expression but then sighed and said "She's right, it the best thing we can do".
"So Angela what on your agenda" Elle said. Claire turned to her and mouthed 'Thank you' for changing the subject of the conversation. "The usually, runnig the Company, keeping our existence private that sort of thing" she said.
"Why should we keep our existence a secret" Claire said. "Because if we do expose ourselves then they be a million more Danko's" she replied. "But come don't you think once the world realises that so many of use exist they be bound to accept us" she argued.
"Humanity is ready to know that we existence, we're not mature enough, in the eyes of the universe we still just children, maybe one day but not today" Angela said before taking a drink.
Peter stood up and said "Can I just say I'd like to thank the people who made this all possible, Gabriel, Elle and Claire, if it weren't for them we'd all be locked up in Building 26, To Gabreil, Elle and Claire". "To Gabriel, Elle and Claire" they all repeated.
"And Claire, I know i wasn't exactly supportive of your relationship with Gabriel and Elle but these last few days have shown me how much you all love each other and I want you to know, I wish you all an eternity of love and happiness and know you have my support" Peter said.
Elle wrapped her arms around Claire and began to move back and forth with joy will kissing her on the cheek. "Thank you Peter" the three of them said. "Nathan don't you have something to say" Peter said.
"Well Claire, your relationship with these two was surprising to say the least but I suppose i'm the last person to judge a person after all the crap i've done and you are an adult now so I suppose I will finally act like a father and respect your choice" Nathan said.
"Thanks" she said. "Dad" Claire said turning to Noah. " Claire" he began but then looked at Gabriel and remembered looking at the victims with there head sliced open and then he looked at Elle and remember the people she burnt to a crisp with her electric ability when she throw temper tantrums as a kid and finally he looked at his Claire Bear and remembered the little baby he rescued from that fire only to be later handed to him by Kaito Nakamara.
"I sorry i can't do this" he said before getting up and heading out of the room. Claire, Nathan and Peter were about to follow him but Angela stopped them and said "I'll take care of this" before getting up and heading out.
She found Noah on the balcany looking out on New York. "She going to be with them, wheter anybody agrees or not all you can do is make sure she still calls you" she said. "How can you say that. she's your granddaughter and your going to let her run off with a pair of twisted sociopaths" Noah said.
"Yes becasue it's for the best" she said. "What, how can say something like that" Noah said upset. "Because, the night she went after them i had a vision, do you know what it was about" she said. "What" he said.
"Claire spending an eternity of happiness and love with Gabriel and Elle, and the three of them never harm a single person again, and many children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren and I thought how could i stop someone i love having such happiness it would have been tha worst thing i've ever done and i've done somethings that i thought would be hard to top but doing that would have topped them all" she said unemotional as ever.
"With them?" he said shocked. "Love is not something you can control, i may not like who she's with but if you saw my vision you would allow this relationship to happen" she said Noah sighed and returned with Angela to the table and said "Claire, I sorry but i do not agree with you choice of lovers but there nothing i can do about it because as Nathan said you're an adult now and you can make you own choice, maybe one day I can forgive and accept these two for what they've done but until then I want you to know that i'm still here for you".
"Thanks Dad, that all i really need" she said smiling. "Don't know how i'm going to explain it to your mom though, she's been worried sick about you" he said. "Well tommorrow, Me, you, Gabriel and Elle will all go to meet her and we can sort this out" Claire said.
The rest of the night was spent celebrating their success and their safety. It was then that they all went there seperate ways. Hiro, Ando, Kimiko and Charlie teleported off to Japan after a goodbye. Mohinder, Maya, Matt and Daphne headed off to India to collect Molly and bring her back to the States. Peter, Nathan, Tracy and Emma stayed at the Petrelli mansion as Noah, Elle, Claire and Gabriel teleported to the Bennet house.
"You two better stand back" Noah said to Gabriel and Elle. He knocked on the door and Sandra opened the door and gasped and said "Oh my God Claire you're safe" she said before pulling her into a bear hug. When she finally let Claire go she saw Gabriel and Elle standing on her lawn whaving nervously she said "What the Hell are they doing here".
"Mom calm down if you let us in we'll explain everything" Claire said. "I'm not letting those two into my house" she said. "Mom please, they're not go to hurt you just trust me" Claire said. Sandra looked at Noah who signalled it was okay. "Alright come in" she said letting them past. Claire led Elle and Gabriel into the living room. As Noah walked into the Sandra grabbed his arm and whispered "Keep your gun at the ready".
Noah and Sandra sat down on the chair opposite the couch where Gabriel, Elle and Claire sat. "All right, now what's going one here" Sandra asked. "Alright Mom, before you freak out just listen to me, when i disappeared I actually went to find Gabriel and Elle to get revenge on them, they capture me and during the time i was missing I fell in love with them, and they fell in love with me and we've been together for months" Claire said.
Sandra was completely silent. She was stunned."Who the hell is Gabriel and why is Sylar here" she annoyed. "I'm Gabriel, Sylar was just a name i took on" he said. How could this happen, how did her daughter fall in love with the two psychopath who held them hostage a few months ago. "WHAT" she said her face turning redder than a tomato.
"Calm down" they all said in unison. "How" she asked. "It's just like I told you, me, Gabriel and Elle just fell in love with each other" Claire said. "Sandra can i talk to you for a minute" Noah said before taking her into the Kitchen. "Okay this is very awkward" Elle whispered. "Don't worry i'm sure once my Mom gets to know you she'll love you two" Claire said.
All they heard from the kitchen was "I DON'T CARE WHAT THAT OLD WITCH SAYS I'M NOT LETTING MY DAUGHTER NEAR THOSE TWO" Sandra shouted.
Finally after much arguement from Sandra and Noah they returned to the living room and sat down on the chair and said "This is how it's going to work, Noah tells me you've been living with them and you'll probable want to stay with them, you Claire are going to college and you can stay with them but the three of you our coming to dinner here every friday night so i can get to know you better, but just be warned you're all on probation" she said seriously and grimely before returning to her usual cheerfulness and adding "Now who'd like some lunch".
During this lunch Sandra bombarded Gabriel and Elle with questions with they answered patiently and honestly. She kept refering to Gabriel as Sylar and he, Elle and Claire kept correcting her. As they left she made Claire promise to call and finally refered to him as Gabriel.
When they returned home and opened the door Gabriel said "Home sweet home". "Hard to believe we've been gone so long" Claire said. Elle had a mischavious smile on her face and said last one on the beds a rotten egg" before running upstair. Gabriel and Claire quickly followed laughing. They got up there and rechristened there bedroom.
Four Months Later
"Claire breakfast" Gabriel called up to her as she got dressed. "Sorry just getting ready for class" she said coming down and sitting next to Elle and began to eat there waffles. When they finished Claire got up and said "I got to go, love you guys".
"Wait" Elle said "You have a little syrup on your cheek". "Where" she asked. "Here" Elle said before getting up and kissing Claire on the cheek. While she kissed one cheek Gabriel came over in his kiss the chef apron and said "You've got some on your other cheek let me get it" he said before kissing her.
They slowly worked there way to her mouth where the three of them kissed passionately for what seemed like ever. There lips interlocked, there tongues together, kissing as if it was the only thing keeping them alive. When it finally broke apart they whisper "Love you" to each other as Claire headed off to college.
As Claire left the house and walked to college she thought how her life had taken her to this moment and although she never imagined her life would take her here, living with two of her biggest enemy, well ex-enemies but she was glad that her life ended up the way it did.
Now when she thinks of her future she doesn't she the long dark passage of misery and loniness she once felt. Now all she can see is an eternity of Happiness, Joy and Love with Gabriel and Elle.
She realised that all the suffering she went through was necessary because it led her here and she wouldn't change it for anything because she gets to spend for ever with the two people she loves the most.
