OOC: The following people are invited to the thread: Angela, Claire, Sam, Mohinder, and Gabe
November 27, 2008 – Thanksgiving Day
Gabriel Gray sighed as he looked at the address again. He wondered if this was even the right address. He glanced at Mohinder and then back down on the sheet of paper. It was the right address. Oh, how he didn’t want to go through this. He groaned a bit and led way to the doorway.
He sighed as Mohinder and he got to the doorway. “This better be a good idea, Mohinder” Gabe hissed at Mohinder. He titled his head and looked at Mohinder. This probably wasn’t going to be bad. He had his toy.
“If this goes bad, I’m gonna blame you, alright and then I’m going to pin you down and hurt you tonight” He said joking with a slight smirk. He leaned in and randomly kissed Mohinder on the lips, for a moment before pulling away and ringing the doorbell.

Mohinder watched an impatient Gabriel struggle with the address of the house or mansion. Mohinder just stood calm. He wasn’t going to work up an embarrassment. He just looked at Gabe and didn’t say a word. Perhaps this was a bad idea.
He shook his head as Gabriel groaned a little. Perhaps, I shouldn’t have suggested this Mohinder thought to himself. “I certainly hope, so Gabe” He said with a smile as he placed his hands in his jacket pocket.
It was a bit cold out.
Mohinder just gave a weak smile and nodded at Gabe. “Of course, you will” He said with a slight smirk and the next thing. He knew Gabe and he were embracing a kiss. It was only briefly, but Mohinder felt like it was a good start into doing this Thanksgiving deal. He didn’t say a word to Gabe as Gabe rang the doorbell.

Thanksgiving Day had finally arrived, and Angela had made a huge fuss about everything. Of course she couldn't invite Peter what with him being on his evil rampage, and she hadn't been able to get a hold of Nathan, due to him being too busy with Presidential duties. However, she had managed to get a hold of Claire and Sam, and they were both coming over, which had surprised Angela, it would seem either Claire was beginning to warm to her, or she didn't want to be mean on Thanksgiving, but what ever the reason for this turn about, Angela wasn't going to complain.
She of course had invited Mohinder along and to bring Gabriel. She almost had everything ready. Plenty of vegetables just about cooked and the turkey in the oven, smelling very nice indeed. She also had the Christmas decorations up too. A gorgeous green artificial tree with gold decorations, and lots of tinsel hanging around the windows and picture frames. Lights were every where too. It was almost like walking into a Santa's Grotto in a luxurious supermarket.
She was doing the finishing touches to the turkey when she heard the door bell ring. Claire was already there, she had come earlier to help Angela with the preparations, and because she was busy finishing things off, she shouted to Claire.
"Claire my darling, could you get the door it will probably be Gabriel with Mohinder"

Claire had arrived earlier to help Angela with the preparations. Claire hadn't what you could say instantly bonded with her grandmother, something about the woman Claire had never seemed to like her for some reason or another. But she decided maybe it was time she started to bond with her grandmother and when she had invited her to Thanksgiving, Claire wondered if there really was a better time for it.
Now she had been helping to put up the decorations while Angela had worked on the dinner. Claire could smell it already and the smell was driving her insane, she was so hungry. Sam wasn't with her yet, but he said he would arrive in time for dinner, she hoped he would, it was getting pretty near time and he hadn't shown face yet.
She just put the remainder of the decorations up, when she heard the doorbell ring. Angela had shouted for her to answer it for her as she was busy finishing the dinner.
"Sure Gran" Claire said as she made her way to the door. However she hadn't heard Angela say it would probably be Gabriel and Mohinder, because she had started to play some Christmas music. She swung it open with a grin and was faced with Gabriel and Mohinder. Well the grin began to slowly wipe itself off her face. The last time she had seen Gabriel, it was when she had asked for his help with Henry and it seemed he had done anything but help.
"She actually invited you" Claire said through gritted teeth, but looked toward Mohinder and gave him a weak smile. "I guess if she's invited you, you better come in" Claire added, as she stood back leaving the door open and made her way back into the dining room where she knew Angela would serve the meal.

“I really mean it, Mohinder” He said in an obnoxious voice. He just grinned at Mohinder and turned his head towards the door. Hoping that someone would answer the door. He just wanted to get this over with. He had a feeling that this wasn’t going to be a pleasant surprise. Maybe he should have declined the offer and just stayed at home.
However, he knew Mohinder wanted to see firsthand a Thanksgiving. So he decided that he would go through with hell. He knew that he could also leave and if he did that he would take Mohinder with him. He didn’t care if it was a dysfunctional Thanksgiving. Americans were always dysfunctional around the holidays, it would seem.
He nearly started to shake when Claire answered the door. He just looked at her and then back at Mohinder. He then walked over to Mohinder and hides himself invisible with his Invisibility power. He decided that he would talk. It was the best if he just hid. He just needed to be hidden. Because he couldn’t face Claire. He just couldn’t.

Mohinder just laughed at Gabe with his obnoxious voice. He didn’t speak. He just gave a smile. It was better to just not speak. It would lighten the mood and hopefully it would be a nice time. However, only time would tell. He just hoped that something didn’t go wrong. Perhaps he just should have not suggested this.
He could see the facial expressions on Gabe. He knew that Gabe wasn’t going to enjoy this and perhaps he was only doing this because Mohinder wanted a Thanksgiving and he hated that if Gabe was doing this under protest that he should have just told him that he didn’t want to do this. It would be a hell of lot of easier.
Mohinder turned his head as the door open. He saw it was Claire and noticed that Gabe was shaking. “It was my idea” admitted Mohinder. The next thing he knew that Gabe wasn’t nowhere to be scene. He heard breathing down his neck and shook his head as he grabbed Gabriel and they both entered the house.
It was odd for Mohinder to drag an invisible man threw a house, but he didn’t care. He was using his human strength to drag Gabe with him. He then entered the dining room. He could feel Gabe struggling. He sighed and used his human strength to pin down an invisible person. All that was heard was a thump.
“Gabriel Arthur Gray, get up and stop acting like a child or I will serious use my ability to hurt you more” He said as he was talking to the ground.

Angela had just about finished the preparations for the dinner. It would be ready for everybody to sit down and eat within the next hour, she just hoped that by then Sam would have arrived, otherwise they may have to start dinner without him. However Angela didn't want to do that if she could help it.
She wondered what was keeping Claire at the door, so she took off her apron and walked through toward the door, but saw Claire in the dining room looking a little unhappy. Who had been at the door she wondered. Looking at Claire, she asked a question.
"Wasn't it Gabriel and Mohinder then?" she asked gently, she knew that Claire and Gabriel had sort of began to talk and thought this would have been a good idea, however by the look on Claire's face maybe she was wrong.
However, no sooner had she asked Claire that question, she heard voices coming in toward the dining room. She heard both voices, but could only see Mohinder. She looked from Claire to Mohinder, wanting an explanation.
"What's going on Claire, Mohinder?" she asked. This was supposed to bring them all together, not tear them apart, they hadn't even begun eating dinner and already it looked like it was going to go to hell. She sighed as she stared waiting on an answer from somebody.

Claire was really angry. She didn't really blame Angela, because after all Gabriel was her son, and she wouldn't have known what he had done to Henry, so she wouldn't blame her, especially now she was finally beginning to bond with her blood family. But she was really annoyed at Gabriel for what he had done.
"It's fine Mohinder, after all, he is family" Claire said bitter and sarcastic. However when Gabriel turned invisible, Claire couldn't help but laugh. "Gabriel, for goodness sake, grow up" she snapped, "I'm angry, but we need to sort this out" she added, as she watched him continue to stay invisible. She just sighed, as she watched Mohinder drag him inside.
By this point, Angela had come out of the kitchen and asked Claire if it wasn't Gabriel and Mohinder. She gave her a weak smile.
"Oh it was them alright, I'm just, it's, oh doesn't matter, I'm not going to spoil Thanksgiving over it" Claire tried to explain, but ended in a ramble of words, she really didn't want to spoil the first Thanksgiving Dinner she would have with her bloody family.
When Angela pressed her and Mohinder for more answers though, Claire surrendered.
"He sort of upset a friend of mine, that's all, nothing too serious really" even though in Claire's opinion it was extremely serious, "I don't want to spoil Thanksgiving for you, you've went to a lot of trouble" Claire tried explaining, smiling at Angela, hoping the woman might back down, and thinking she probably wouldn't seeing as she was stubborn. Well Claire obviously took her stubbornness from her grandmother.

Gabriel rolled his eyes as he was dragged into his mother’s house by Mohinder. He hated being childish, but perhaps it was the only thing that made him feel at home. He groaned as Mohinder pinned him down. He then came back visible to the people. He got up and stood next to Mohinder.
“I did upset a friend of yours and it was serious, I tried to help him Claire, I tried, but I’m sorry that my hunger overcame me and that I almost the both of you, I was very close to killing me and I should have, but that glass didn’t go in far enough…” He said sighing. He hated that day. He was trying to get Henry to just control it, but his hunger unleashed him and that happened.
He gave a frown, “I’m sorry” He admitted as he looked down at the ground. “And I can’t believe I’m saying this, but when that piece of glass was near my brain, I had memories of this place” He said sighing “Very bad memories, expect I still can’t explain the drowning part in the bath tub, it haunts me” He said as he didn’t make any eye contact with people.

“It has something to do with the day, that I inform you that Gabe’s hunger returned” He said as he looked at floor where Gabe was hiding. He didn’t know why, he was even looking at the floor. He then watched as Gabe finally appeared it. He looked at Gabe and just shook his head as he stood next to him.
He then listened to his boyfriend apologize to Claire. He wondered if Claire would even forgive. She probably wouldn’t. It really didn’t matter. This was supposed to be Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was supposed to be about family and friends coming together and celebrating a holiday.
It just felt odd to be a part of a dysfunctional family. However, he would manage. His family wasn’t perfect either. His mother was odd and his father was a good man. And yet who would have thought that he would be dating the man that murdered his father. He really didn’t expect himself to be doing this.
It was kind of odd. However, he forgives Gabriel for doing what he had done. Now, he was standing by Gabe as a lover and would do whatever to protect his lover. He sighed, "You know maybe we should leave, I don't want tention into this household, we can leave it was obviously a bad idea" Mohinder said.

Angela couldn't believe what she was hearing and what was happening in front of her. It was like a nightmare, one horrible nightmare. This was supposed to have been a good thing, supposed to have helped Gabriel fit in, be a Petrelli, feel like he belonged. Now it seemed like the whole thing was going to collapse around her before it even took off the ground.
"Come on, can't you all just let it rest" Angela said snapping slightly. She didn't want to snap at her family, but sometimes when they were acting like this, it was the only way to get through to them.
"Claire, what ever he did to this friend of yours, however bad it is, can you not just let it go this once, to help us celebrate this day as a family? Please Claire?" Angela asked her granddaughter with pleading eyes. She had only just begun to bond with her, she didn't want that bond broken too soon.
When Gabriel started talking about memories it haunted her too. She knew only too well what she had tried to do to Gabriel as a baby, seeing the evil he was going to become, and trying to eradicate it before it got anywhere. "I'm sorry you have those memories Gabriel" Angela said sadly.
"No, I don't want you to leave Mohinder, we can get over this, can't we Claire?" she asked her granddaughter, giving her another pleading smile.

Claire listened as Gabriel apologised for upsetting Henry, Henry who was like a brother to her. Normally she wouldn't have given in so easy to the apology, but as she caught the pleading look from Angela her grandmother, whom she was trying to bond with, she didn't want to make it any more difficult.
"Alright Grandma, alright" Claire said sighing slightly and feeling a little defeated, but she didn't want to ruin Thanksgiving for the family, not after the work Angela had put into it thought Claire. She then looked at Gabriel, "I accept your apology, I'm not sure I can forgive you quite yet, Henry is very scared and a very different young man at the moment, but I will accept your apology" Claire said giving him a weak smile, and turning to her grandmother and giving her a raised eyebrow and a slightly warmer smile as if to say, I did what you asked of me.
"And, actually" Claire said, as she caught on to what he said about wanting to have killed himself, "I wouldn't want you to dead, no matter what I think about you or what you've done, we're still blood related and I don't want you to die" she said through gritted teeth, but smiling at him anyway, so he would know she meant it.
"No, Grandma is right, you shouldn't leave" Claire said, "I can let this drop, we should be enjoying today, not snapping at each other" Claire said, giving in a little more now and smiling warmly at Mohinder and Gabriel. "Please, sit down" Claire added as she delved into a box beside her and pulled out two red velvet Santa hats with white fur trim and bouncy white pom poms and handed one to Mohinder and one to Gabriel. She pulled out another two, put one on her own head and gave one to her Grandma.

Gabe knew that Claire wasn't going to be so apologetic. However, it surprised him. He just looked at her and sighed. Nothing really seemed that easy. He would just drop the subject. It was best if he did. He just nodded at her when she accepted the apology.
Now was that so hard? Gabe thought to himself. He smiled and nodded, "Well, I'm glad you are accepting it" He managed to say as he choice his words carefully. He didn't want to piss of Claire anymore. So he decided that perhaps a few words that came out of his month was a good idea. It would be for the best.
"Oh bullshit, HRG wants me for dead, we all know it" He said snapping. "It would be for the best" He said as he muttered to himself. As he looked down at the floor. He sighed when Claire pulled out two Santa hats. He plced one on his head. And just smiled with an odd look in his eyes.
He then gazed at Mohinder. "We will stay" He said with a smile. He really wanted to stay. He wanted to see how dysfuntional this family really was. He then sat down.

Shit! He was so late. He had got distracted, picking the wine. He had no idea about wine. He didn't understand why people were so, picky about it. He spent an hour in the shop trying to decide which one everyone would like. He drove his car quickly up to the house. Jumping out, gripping the wine, trying not to drop it, so he would waste another hour at the store.
He burst into the house, walking quickly towards the dining room.
"Sorry I'm late" he said, walking and taking his spot next to Claire. "Hey Hun." He said, giving her a quick kiss on the lips. He had to admit, the petnames for his wife thing was really starting to grow on him.
"How is everyone?"

“Gabriel get over the part where Noah wants to kill you, okay?” Mohinder said sighing as he listened to his boyfriend complain about how Noah was going to kill him. He didn’t like suicidal Sylar. He liked the serial killer and the good guy. He had no clue why, but he just did. It didn’t seem far. But nothing ever did.
Mohinder sighed as Claire brought out the Santa Hats. He rolled his eyes and placed his Santa Hat on and smile shaking his head in disbelief. He then sat down next to Gabe and laughed as Gabe’s Santa Hat was a bit on his head. He just couldn’t help, but laugh.
“Dude, you seriously need to fix your hat” He said as he watched Sam entered. He just smiled having no clue who had just walked into the door was.
