((Okay, guys, its been a long time. A really long time. I think I gave up on this because I ran out of inspiration or something... now that season three has started it kicked my brain into gear. Excuse me while I say... HOLY CRAP MY LAST CHAPTER WAS POSTED JUNE 9TH!
Definately a long time.
I've been checking to see if I still have readers, so I have a few, thats alright. Feel free to comment, coz I need the comments, here or in PM, I don't mind! Suggestions are good too. I decided I will update quicker than FOUR MONTHS!
But I'm not sure how long it will be between chapters.))
The long awaited (
) Chapter Thirty Four...
“Alright, let’s go.” Elle said. The three of us, me, Elle and Mohinder walked outside and got in a car.
“Meet you there.” I said, getting ready to fly away, flicking my lighter and creating a small flame in the palm of my hand.
“You can’t just go off some place without us.” Elle said.
I grinned. “Watch me.” A few seconds later I was zooming through the air. I had no intention of following any orders coming from anyone working with the company, especially from Elle.
I knew exactly where I was going, I had even already looked at a map and figured out a way there. The corner of Ocean Ave and Fourth Street. Lucky my memory wasn’t always terrible, when it came to Heroes.
I landed across the street and walked over, seeing West and Noah Bennet. Noah was talking on his mobile, I knew it was Mohinder.
He said something and stood up, letting West roll away and stand up.
“What’s going on?” West demanded.
“Claire’s in danger. I need your help.”
“Hi there.” I said, strolling over. “I think I can help.”
“Who are you?” West asked me.
“Hi West. I’m Claire. Yes, another Claire. I’m uh… an old friend?” I raised my eyebrow. “How about we walk?” I gestured with my hands.
I turned to Noah. “I’m sort of.. working with the company. I got forced into it but I have no intention of really helping them. And Elle…” I sighed. “She annoys me, lets leave it at that.”
“Where are we going? You said on the phone..” West started to say.
“I’m getting my car, I’m meeting Mohinder Suresh. I need you as backup, I have a plan.” He explained a few details of his plan and we continued walking.
A few minutes later Noah was driving away, leaving me and West alone. “You fly too, huh?” He asked.
“No. I don’t.” I said as I launched into the air with the flames around me.
“That’s cool, but doesn’t it get annoying?”
“Well it’s not very good for stealth, if that’s what you mean.” I said loudly over the wind
We followed Noah’s car through the air. He stopped to talk to Mohinder, but a few minutes later he was moving again, with Mohinder in the car. Finally they stopped and got out, Mohinder pointing a gun at Elle. We were close enough to see but not be spotted.
I nodded at West and landed close by. He flew off to a short distance away, just as we had discussed.
“Whoa, sorry I’m late.” I said, jogging up to Elle. She had electricity formed in her hand, walking over to Noah. She turned to me, distracted, as West flew down to get her, hitting into Noah’s parked car.
West rolled over and stood up, Elle seemed to be unconscious.
“Real nice moves.” I said, rolling my eyes. West looked like he was in pain from the fall.
Mohinder and Noah were fighting, Noah wrestling to get the gun from him. He got a punch to the face, to which he retaliated and hit Mohinder in his broken nose. Ouchies. Now Noah was pointing the gun at Mohinder.
“You lie to me? You betray me? Come after my daughter?” He yelled angrily, clicking the gun. “How did you think it was gonna end?”
I knew he didn’t shoot him, but I was trying to think of what WOULD happen if Mohinder was shot. I had no idea.
“Mr Butler! What are you doing?” West asked.
“Shush, I’m trying to watch…” I said. West just gave me a confused look.
Noah put the gun back to safety mode, clicking it. Mohinder breathed a sigh of relief. “No ones taking my little girl!” He yelled, kicking Mohinder.
“Badass.” I muttered. I walked over to Noah. “Anyone ever tell you that you’re a badass?” He just looked at me, and told West to pick Elle up.
Mohinder looked up at me. “What are you doing…” He asked, his hands covering his face.
“Being badass?” I said with a grin, even though I wasn’t doing a single thing that was badass.
About 10 minutes later we were back at the Bennet house. Noah rushed in while West was picking Elle up out of the car.
“Sandra! Claire!” Noah yelled.
I waited for West before walking inside. The house was even nicer in real life.
“Hi Mrs Butler. It’s good to, er, see you again.” It would have been really strange for Claire’s Mum, seeing Claire’s boyfriend holding some random unconscious girl. So weird.
“Mr Muggles doggy bath!” I said, not realising I had spoken out loud. Noah gave me a strange look before asking Sandra where it was.
I helped West strap Elle into a chair. West took off her shoes and put her feet in the doggy bath. Noah sprayed her with a hose that came out of the sink. Weird American inventions.
Finally Elle woke up, looking annoyed, trying to escape.
“I need to speak to your father.” Noah said patiently.
“What do you think, this is my first day?” Elle retorted, forming electricity in her hands, and electrocuting herself. She screamed in pain. Ouchies. It’s totally a different story when you know its special effects, but this was right in front of me! Totally awesome.
“Stings like a b***h doesn’t it?” Noah said.
What a great line. I tried to resist laughter but I started to almost giggle.
“I know all about your ability, Elle.” Noah said, telling her a story about the testing Elle went through. Totally awesome. “Why do you think I never let the company anywhere near Claire? I didn’t want her to become you.”
Total awesomeness. Did I mention that fact already? Ah yes, probably.
“I have a plan!” I said, as a light bulb flashed over my head. “Just, uh, do whatever it is you were about to do.” I walked away, knowing I’d be getting strange looks.
"Hang on a second.." Noah said. "I think I'd like to hear it. This plan of yours."
I stopped and quickly explained. He had a lot of questions for me throughout the explanation. "Just trust me, alright?" I finally said, as I left the Bennet house.
After flying for a bit, I walked into the hotel room where Bob, Elle, Mohinder and I were in earlier. And sure enough, Bob was in there with Claire. He left the room that Claire was in, so I snuck in.
Claire looked surprised. “Claire?” She was definately confused.
“Hi.” I whispered. “Listen, I don’t have much time.” I started to untie her wrists and feet so she could stand up out of the chair she was strapped to. “I’m going to take your place.” I concentrated on a hologram, putting it around me, so I looked just like Claire Bennet. “Now go, go home or something, just get the heck away from here.”
“Thank you.” She said. She got to the door and turned back. “Will you be alright?”
I nodded. “Of course, now go.”
Bob came back into the room, holding his cell phone. Heh, cell phone.
“Did I hear you talking to someone?” He asked, glancing around suspiciously.
“My invisible friend. She’s crazy!” I suddenly realised the slight flaw in my plan. I was creating a hologram of myself being tied to the chair, but in order for Bob to let me stand up, he would have to untie my hands, which weren’t really tied!
A dilemma! I stood up, using a hologram to make it seem I almost had super strength, pulling my hands and legs out from being tied up.
Bob looked very confused at this point.
