This fire keeps on BURNING{Nathan}

JUNE 21ST

"I'm not crazy! Jeez, fuck." Vita snarled as two men grabbed under her arms, pulling her back from the building in front of them, her fathers picture splayed everywhere. "Look, I am his daughter." Vita explained, getting a response of eye rolls and one who stared at her through black tinted sunglasses, spoke."Right. We get all kinds of stories, all it comes down to is money. Now beat it." Throwing her near the curb, Vita eyed the men coldly, quelling the urge down to roast them to a crisp. Instead she gripped her wrist, the bracelet from her parents still wrapped around her flesh, giving her comfort when no-one else could. That didn't work. I'm not in Kansas anymore. Plan B me thinks. Pity she didn't get her fathers flight ability, though with her fire power she could hover above the ground, but that normally sapped her energy too badly, so it was really no point. Kicking a small stone, Vita was struck with any idea. Dressed in her jeans, jacket and shoes, she appeared normal, but that wouldn't do much in the ways of getting someone's attention.

"Breathe Vita." Her name meant life, fire needed oxygen, needed her, to live. Her name really coincided with her ability, and for that she was grateful. Holding her hands near her sides, palms facing the street(not the building even though it would be fun to burn down, but if her father was in there, well, that wasn't going to happen), fire began licking her skin, getting hotter and hotter before shooting forth, hitting a car and making it erupt into fire. The people screamed, ripped the doors open and began running down the street as the tires on the car popped from the heat and pressure. The smell of burning rubber hit her nose, making her choke and gag, but it was getting the effect she wanted. Everyone else ran in a panic, Vita ducked down an alleyway, leaning against the building side to keep out of sight, fire trucks were arriving on the scene to douse the flames, and the two men that had tried stopping her from getting in, were staring dumbfounded at what they were witnessing. "I am good at causing a scene and at least no one got hurt. They'd be proud."

Grinning, Vita slunk along the wall, darting into the building without even being looked at twice. Digging into her pocket for the I.D her father had given her, with her name as Vita Strauss Petrelli(in case she ever got locked out of the house), Vita clung to it as if it were a life line. The guards had dismissed it, thinking it was a fake. Too bad for them, though Nathan was a powerful, famous man, there were more than likely a ton of people claiming to be his child. "Hello, is a Mr Peter Petrelli around?" Vita asked softly at a woman behind a desk. "I'll check. May I ask whose looking for him?" Vita nodded, putting her I.D on the desk and standing on her toes to see better. "The I.D says it all." The woman picked up a phone, asked Vita to wait as she relayed the message over the phone. Before she could reply, the two guards had come back inside, glaring at Vita coldly. "You!" "Uh guys, can we talk? Please?" Vita backed up, hitting the desk with her back, making her wince. Dad, where are you?

{ooc - Nathan is actually The President on this site and lives in the White House, Washington - there's a board - but after reading the post, I decided not to move it - I can work with it, I think - just wanted to let you know for future.}

Nathan had officially been in the White House for almost six months, and the building where his campaign used to run from was now just a storage area and office. He used it to make business calls and store things away when he was in town visiting with his mother or brother. Claire of course was happy again, finally and he felt that he could now leave her when he had to. Besides, she had West there as well. He was so proud of his daughter, and when she had sung at Peter and Becca's wedding, he had told her she should become a singer. She had been thinking about it, at least that was what she had said to him last anyway.

He had just finished making some business calls and putting away some documents when he heard a commotion outside. He looked out the window and was quite shaken with the scene. He wondered if it was Sylar causing some trouble, or if somebody had been trying to bomb the building. Being the President of the United States, a lot of things were possible, especially after what happened to Claire. He never had been able to get a hold of the bitch who'd killed his unborn grandson.

He then heard voices outside of his office, so he went out to investigate. He was met with two of his guards getting ready to what looked like to him, attack a young girl. Nathan didn't know the girl, but looking at her, it was like he was looking at Tracy all over again, and it caused pangs of sadness inside him. He missed her.

Standing with his finger on his lips and his thumb rubbing his chin, he said softly, "What's going on here?" Looking at the guards he shook his head, "And there's no need to be quite so heavy handed with her, I am sure."

{ooc// Ah, I was originally planning on having it there, but, then security would have been even tighter lol. Next time and thanks!}

"Okay, so you don't believe me, fair enough. Got to protect him and all, I get that." Vita tried to let these guys understand she knew all the rules and codes and that protecting Nathan was top priority, but also, she wanted to make sure they knew she was barely a threat. At least not to her father, that would just be stupid. He may not know who she was here, thanks to her friend who never told her about moving people through timelines, Vita didn't care. He was still her father, DNA would prove that if it came down to it. DNA was still DNA even if you were from different time lines. "And, I'm sorry for the mess outside, and really, no one got hurt, yeouch, hey!" One had pulled her by the arm, squeezing hard as his fingers wrapped around her flesh, muscle and bone. Definitely not a good sign, though it was going to start looking up, and Vita could feel it in the air, just wait, a few more moments.

Vita smiled softly as the appearance of Nathan caused the guards to stop what they were doing and look at the man with respect, ignoring the girl for the moment which worked in her favor. "I came to see you actually." It was hard, this man was essentially her father, yet he wasn't at the same time. The guy who was protective of her, even threatened and had the guy who raped her arrested and placed in prison, the man she respected, loved and knew would always be there for her, it wasn't the man in front of her. He may look like Nathan, but in this time line, he didn't actually father her. "Uhm, they are just doing their job. I would be too if I was them and had to hear some lunatic." Vita was being light with her words, almost joking to ease her own tension. "Though, you probably won't believe me either." Vita stared at Nathan while the guards tried to find an explanation that would not sound too crazy. "Can we talk? And without guards, I have seen enough to last me a double life time." Vita asked, wrenching away from their grasp.

{ooc// sorry for the short, and sucky post, next one will be better!}

{ooc - that's fine on both accounts lol}

When Nathan had asked what was going on when he was met with a scene of a couple of his guards roughly handling a young girl, she said she was there to see him. He smiled at her questioningly. This girl who had looked so much like his Tracy. Damn, why did he have to lose her? She was now in a happy relationship with his Vice President, how ironic was that? So, now the question remained, who was this girl and why was she wanting to see him? Whoever she was, he would see her, he had nothing better to do that day.

"They aren't doing their job in a civil manner." He smiled at the girl then, and put his right hand up and waved the guards away. "Leave us be." He then walked toward her, just as she said that he probably wouldn't believe her either. "Try me. You'd be surprised at what I would believe." He then gave her a bright smile, and winked ever so slightly as he put his arm around her back and gently rested his hand on it, to lead the way into his office.

"Come this way." It was a move he had done often with Claire, gently putting his arm around her like that, and his other signature move of course, wrapping his arms around her, with one on her back and the other on her head, with his chin resting on her head. How he loved Claire. He was sorry for all the years he had missed out on with his beautiful daughter. But now, of course with her living at the White House with him, he was making up for all that lost time.

"Don't worry about them, they wont be bothering us again." He added, when she had asked if she could speak to him without the guards. "It will just be you and I." He then opened the door to his office and beckoned with his hand for her to sit in the chair opposite his own, as he sat down and then leaned forward, clasping his hands together and leaning his chin on them. "So, try me. What wouldn't I believe?"
