24th January 2009
It had been four days since Claire had the confrontation with the mystery girl who had done a Sylar on her. She couldn't believe it happened again. Just as she was beginning to feel pain again, even if that was a weird thing to be happy about, she got her head sliced open and was once again unable to feel the pain.
It had been a rather frightening encounter, the girl was just like Sylar only a female version, the way she moved, the way she talked, the way she used her powers. It was scary and if Claire didn't know any better she would have sworn that the girl was Sylar in different guise. But what would the point of him getting her ability again.
She remembered thinking, not again, when she felt the pain in her head as it was once more cut open, it brought back all the memories of when Sylar done it to her, and that was the only pain she could feel. Sometimes Claire wished she had a better power, something she could use in a fight, but then if she didn't have the power she had, she'd never survive any attacks like that one.
Feeling at a loose end, and with West out doing whatever it was he was doing, Claire feeling a little vulnerable decided to send Peter a text and ask if he could come over. She had been missing him for the last few days, and she just felt like she needed to talk to him. He was usually the only person other than Noah and even then she didn't always trust him, who could make her feel better.

After receiving the text from Claire, asking him to come to Costa Verde, he dropped almost everything he was doing and everything he had planned for the day to make room for her in his schedule. He learned through his mother that Claire had been attacked by this strange woman who's methods almost resembled Sylar, which was the last thing the world needed. Things weren't right with just one Sylar around, but another killer like him, someone taking what wasn't there's at the cost of a victims life.
But what sucked the most was the fact he could have saved her. He had planned to surprise visit her that day of the attack, however he got a call from work asking to cover a sick coworkers shift so he abandoned the idea of the visit. Perhaps if he choose family over his work, he would have been able to save her from her assault. He could have been her knight in shining armor, however he failed her. He owed her the visit.
Using time and space manipulation, Peter teleported to her front and knocked twice. "Claire? It's me... Peter."

It didn't take long for Claire to hear a knock on her door after she sent the text to Peter asking if he could come over. She hadn't expected him to jump right away, but in a way she was glad he had. She missed him. She smiled when he spoke, he didn't even have to say his name, just saying her name she knew it was Peter, she'd recognise his voice anywhere.
She went to the door and opened it, smiling at him weakly. "Peter" she said simply, as she stood back to allow him to come in. "Come in" she said and then she closed the door behind him.
She then walked into the living room, knowing Peter would be following behind her, and when she got in, she turned round and pulled him into a hug, "Oh Peter, it happened again" she said sadly and a little angry, biting back the tears, because it was so good to be in Peter's company again.

Peter held Claire close against his chest as she told him of the attack. He could feel her sorrow and fear even though she fought back her tears and keep strong for her uncle. As Peter looked over her shoulder at the Bennet household. This wasn't right for her to be attacked, especially here. This was suppose to be her sanctuary, the place she'd retreat to when times were rough. But twice she was assaulted here, twice she fall victim to a menace that wanted to steal what made her special. It was twisted.
He felt slightly responsible. She should have been protected by either him, West or at least Noah however everyone had a reason to be away from the household, though they're reasons were pretty much unknown due to their cooperate lifestyles. He wondered if this place was right for her. It was too open, too quiet and too lonely. The only person that could have been here was Claire's brother and mother, and their presence would only be a danger to themselves. She needed somewhere she could be protected.
As they broke away from their hug, Peter looked into her sad eyes. "How you holding up?"

As Claire pulled Peter into the hug, he held her close against his chest, in the same typical hug she was used to from Peter, it felt good and she felt once again safe. Peter was like her best friend as well as her uncle. From the day he saved her at Homecoming when Sylar had tried to track her down for her ability then and killed one of the other girls instead, she and Peter had always been close. Even when she found out Peter was her uncle, albeit a little strange at first, it did not change the close bond they shared, if anything it made it stronger.
As they gently pulled away from the hug, Peter looked into her eyes. Eyes she was holding tears back in, he would know she was sad and angry just by looking into her eyes. He asked how she was holding up. She was holding up surprisingly well all things considered she thought.
"Alright I guess, it was just weird to go through it all again, I wasn't even scared for myself, I was scared for my unborn baby" she said softly, as her hand instinctively held her stomach in a protective manner. The things that girl had said about Sylar, killing her family, even West and her baby.
"She said so many bad things, which we can't allow to happen Peter" Claire said sadly but strongly.They could do it, they could change the future.

"Anything she said is nothing more than scare tactics," Peter said reassuring her. Whatever this women clearly shook Claire to the core. It must have been a lot to affect a strong woman like Claire so much. However no matter what she predicted, no matter how powerful her words were, she couldn't be believed. It was more than likely the words she spoke were nothing than false prophesies designed to scare or break Claire, fulfill some twisted urge that this woman suffered from.
As he looked into her eyes, he could see her fighting back the tears. In a weak attempt to make her feel better, he rested the palm of his hand against her chin and softly rubbed her cheek. Out of all the powers he had at his disposal, there was nothing he could do to make her feel better. He was aware that someone could heal not only a person wounds, but also their emotions. It was something he have to look into.
He then noticed Claire hands position themselves above her womb, above her unborn child. He smiled at her, "At least junior is safe and sound. By the way, have you had any information about the offspring. And I just wanna throw it out there that I've been hearing Peter is a pretty good boys name."

Peter said the older girl was probably just using scare tactics on her, but Claire wasn't so sure that was the deal. The tone of the older girl's voice and the venom with which she spat the words out didn't sound like scare tactics. But she could see Peter was trying to make her feel better, and Claire had to show that it was working even if it weren't.
"I guess you're right, people are good at using scare tactics I believe" Claire replied. As Peter looked into her eyes, which she knew was holding the proper truth he rested his hand on her chin and rubbed at her cheek, she leaned her cheek against his hand softly smiling she said "thanks Peter."
"Yes, junior is safe, for now" Claire said softly, realising that he or she might not always be safe, if that mysterious older girl's words were anything to go by. Peter then asked if there was any news on the baby, assuming he meant whether it was a boy or a girl. Of course if the baby was a boy she would totally have called him Peter, she grinned at him.
"I don't know anything yet, just that so far they're doing well, but I would totally call the baby Peter if they're a boy." Claire said and laughed a little. Other than West, Peter was definitely Claire's tonic, he seemed the only one able to lift her spirits when she felt the chips were down.

(This is Bambi. Sorry its short but I think once a new thread is started it will be easier to get into Peter)
Peter smiled at Claire as he took his hand away from her cheek. “Well I better hope it’s a boy then.” It didn’t matter to him if the baby was named Peter because he had messed up all of his life and wouldn’t wish that on anyone epically a boy who grew up knowing that he was named after him. He only wanted the best for Claire. Ever since he had met her in Odessa he seemed to form a close bond to the now young women. If he had not spotted Claire in the school he would have saved the wrong girl if he had gotten there in time.
“Claire I know you might think I’m just saying it will be alright but…” He locked his eyes with hers as he gave her a serious face. “It will all be fine. Petrelli’s don’t loose at anything.” He brushed a hand threw her hair as he chuckled trying to make her calm as a pregnant women should be. He wasn’t going to tell her that he lost a soccer game or two back in the day. She didn’t need to worry.

[ooc: It's fine Bambi, I'm glad we're sharing him now though - no offense to Steven]
Claire smiled at Peter as she watched him remove his hand from her face, he had once again managed to do the impossible, calm her down and make her feel much better about things. There wasn't many people who could do that for her, but Peter was one of them. She wasn't sure if it was because they were just good friends, or if it was because they were indeed family.
"I can't deny a little boy wouldn't be nice, but I'll just be happy to have a healthy baby regardless" Claire replied as she continued to smile and feel more calm. She wouldn't and couldn't let what that woman said about her family happen. They had changed the future before, and they could do it again.
Claire stared into Peter's eyes as she found them locking with her own, and then he said again that everything would be fine, that Petrel's don't lose at anything. If he had said that a year ago, she might not have believed his words, because she didn't fully trust the Petrelli family, but now it was different. Now his words meant everything to her. When he brushed his hand through her hair, she felt herself nudging her head into his hand.
"You're right Peter, you're absolutely right" Claire said as she became more sure of herself and got back some of that determination she always had. She was not going to let this beat her.

(ooc: i think I got the hang of Peter so this thread can go on for a bit)
“Now would this baby be Peter Petrelli Jr.?” He laughs as he runs his own hands through his hair as he sits himself down. He had always felt a little different around Claire maybe it was because she was his niece but he had never seen her grow up to act that way uncles would normally act. “The baby will be perfect whatever gender it comes out as.”
He had always pictured that Nathan had done the right thing and raised Clair though he could guess that Meredith wouldn’t be around since he had gave her money and then she had left in the first place. He could see Claire helping Nathan get ready for his first date with Heidi. He could even see himself picking her up from school and dance class taking her to the hospital with him where he volunteered at before he went to college. He could see his mother helping Claire turn into a young women. Peter would have broke up fights between Claire and her baby brothers knowing they would have been all over her.
Claire would have fit in with the Petrelli’s very well especially with his young self. Maybe that’s why Peter formed a close bond with Claire. She hadn’t been around the family long enough to get corrupted into the ways of a Petrelli. Peter got out of his thought when he heard the women say he was right. He smiled at her as he looked at his hands. “Do you ever wonder how your life would have been if you lived with Nathan all these years?”

Claire couldn't help but laugh when Peter asked if the baby would be Peter Petrelli Junior. She thought about it for a few seconds before answering him. She was calling herself Claire Petrelli, although she still wanted to confirm with Nathan he didn't have a problem with that, even though she was married to West and was now technically a Rosen, and she was brought up a Bennet. Such a confliction of names, but yes, if she called the baby Peter if they were a boy, then yes it would be Peter Petrelli Junior.
"Why yes it would be" Claire said smiling as she poked her tongue out ever so slightly, but not in a childish way, in a humorous way. "I would call him Peter Nathan Noah Petrelli" she said as she gave the full name she intended for the baby if they were a boy. Of course she didn't care what sex the baby was so long as they were healthy.
Claire smiled when Peter said the baby would be perfect what ever the gender. It was true, how more perfect could the baby be when they would be a Petrelli/Rosen she thought to herself. "Again, you're absolutely right" Claire said grinning, "I mean you really can't get any more perfect than us Petrelli's can you?" she asked, teasing him slightly.
Peter seemed to lose himself in thoughts for a short time as he fell silent, Claire wondered what was on his mind. She was about to ask him when he spoke first, asking if she had ever wondered what her life would have been like if she'd lived with Nathan all those years. She had thought about it, ever since she'd found out he was her father, she had thought about it.
"I have actually, quite a few times, wondered what it would have been like, in my dreams it would have been perfect and I think you and I would have been more like brother and sister than niece and uncle" she said, because facing facts there wasn't a great age difference between herself and Peter. She smiled as she thought about it, she would have liked it. She'd have been very happy to have grown up a Petrelli despite the fact they were known to be a dysfunctional family. "I believe I would have liked it" she finished softly and a little sadly.

“The baby will be beautiful. I mean I came out handsome.” He mutters to himself till Claire speaks about what life would have been like. “I would have probably not threaten to leave as much as I did if you were there.” He then thought about his thoughts before he had spoken up about them. “I could see me watching you.” He gave her a look as if he was saying I’m older so I could be the babysitter but cause trouble. “Well probably you following me around to hang out with cool Uncle Peter.”
He shook his head now thinking his superego was getting to him. If Claire was around he would have been happier then he had been as a teen. “I would still have been a emo loner guy but I would have been cool with the pre-teens.” Peter then remembered a picture Nathan gave him years ago it was of a dark rocker type of guy. “I so can pull off having black nails.” His eye brow rose as if he was questioning his own thought. Peter would have defiantly loved Claire being around back then especially if that meant he would have found love a lot sooner and a lot not into painter guys.

Claire laughed. She couldn't help herself. Peter was such a tonic to her probably more ways than he would ever even realise. "Well of course the baby would be beautiful, I mean, not only do I have a very handsome uncle" she began as she playfully poked her tongue out, "I have an equally attractive father, and then there's me" she said as she pointed to herself and raised her eyebrow. "I mean come on, the baby couldn't be anything but handsome or beautiful" she now began to laugh hysterically which was making her feel so much better than how she felt when Peter first arrived.
Claire's laugh calmed down as she looked at Peter sadly, "You threatened to leave?" she asked, although it was hardly surprising, Claire knew the Petrelli's weren't the best family portrait, but it still tugged at her heart. "Nice to know that my presence would have made you change your mind about those thoughts" she said with a soft smile.
"God, you being my baby sitter, how awesome would that have been? The trouble we would have caused without them even realising it" she said laughing. Yeah it would have been amazing and she totally would have been with cool uncle Peter. She nudged him playfully, "You're still cool 'uncle' Peter to me now" she said softly with a warm smile, using quotation marks for the word uncle, even though he was, it seemed weird to call somebody only a few years older than you uncle.
"Well I don't think you'd have been an emo loner guy if I was around, well okay maybe emo, but not loner" Claire said as she laughed some more. She was teasing him like there was no tomorrow suddenly, but it felt good, it felt like the family teasing you could get away with. "But cool, that I know is true, because I reckon you've always been cool" she didn't care if she was boosting his ego out of control, she loved Peter and she wanted him to know it.
"Black nails?" she questioned with an eyebrow raised and a confused smile on her face, "Explain" she added as she nudged him playfully again.

“No one can be compared to you Claire.” Peter states eyeing her as he gets asked about his teenage years. “I’ve threaten a lot of things growing up.” He brushes his hair out of his eyes now looking at the ground. ”Its tough to be in a family that everyone thinks is perfect when you aren’t.” He felt everything from his past come up again. “I felt so alone it was a dark couple of years.” He looked at her worried he gave her the wrong idea. “I didn’t try to hurt myself just being distant from everyone.”
He gave Claire a hug letting go of his topic. “Yeah I think I would have rocked being a babysitter.” Though he had never babysat in his life it couldn’t have been too hard. He pushes her away teasingly. “Quit calling me uncle Peter you make me sound old.”
Peter smiled at her. “And you always been fine.” he wanted to sure she was alright and not just push the thought out of her mind while he was here. He chuckled a bit placing his hands to his head covering his eyes. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

"Oh behave Peter" Claire said with a slight blush when he said nobody could compare to her. Peter said some of the nicest things to her, it was so sweet, yes being a part of the Petrelli family wasn't such a bad thing for the most part. At least that's what Claire thought. Sure they had their secrets, hell she was one of them, and they were probably the real answer to the Brady Bunch but Claire loved them all anyway.
"All teenagers threaten a lot of things Peter, hell I know I did, sometimes I still do, well with Sandra and Noah at any rate" Claire said trying to make him realise she understood what he was saying. It was true, every family had their troubled teen who threatened to do this and that. "Well I still reckon I'd have liked to have been a part of it from a baby" Claire confirmed wanting Peter to know how much she valued being a part of the dysfunctional family which were the Petrellis.
"I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself, but I get the being distant, I've done that often enough to Sandra and Noah, like I say, I've never made their life very easy over the years, especially the last few" Claire said with emphasis. She really had made their life a misery the past couple of years, more so the past few months. What with a failed marriage behind her, and now pregnant with their first grandchild.
"You would have rocked" Claire agreed, and laughed when he pushed her playfully telling her to stop calling him uncle that it made him feel old. "Okay uncle Peter" she said again, and then poked her tongue out at him, "Sorry, okay, I'll stop calling you that, I could just call you uncle of course" Claire said, as she couldn't help continuing the tease. Then she lunged for his sides and started tickling him, not even sure why she was doing it, but she just suddenly felt like a silly teenager.
She stopped after a few moments for fear of him attacking her back in the same way, "Sorry, I'll stop, Peter" she said trying desperately to keep her face straight.
"I've not always been fine, had some tough times, but I'm fine just now, fine because you're here" she said with a smile, everything always seemed to be much better when Peter was around. She began to wonder if she could get back to bonding with Nathan now that the inauguration was over with and he was completely settled in, if everything would always seem much better around him, the way she did with Peter. She figured they would be because he was her superman.
"Oh, that bad huh? Alright I wont make you explain it" Claire said when Peter didn't want to talk about the black nails thing.
