The roles are reversed (for heroslayer)

[its_notluck]

Claire knew that the others wouldn't really like what she was about to do but she was hoping that a couple of them would understand.  She knew Hiro wouldn't like it, merely because of her partner and Peter wouldn't either because his mind would automatically go to the future version of her that he saw but she was hoping Adam would understand on

Claire didn't want to tell them what all happened to her. She knew they had an idea from when they found her, the state that her clothes had been in with them being torn and bloody. She didn't know if it was just that she didn't want to talk about it or maybe she just didn't want to see the look on their faces when she did.

She didn't see the sneer that wasn't aimed at her, she was starting forward as the anger was starting to burn inside of her once more and it was turning her restless as she just wanted to find Knox. When he touched her shoulder, she stopped before he even gave the command and she turned around to face him as he seemed to need another minute. Probably to find whatever he needed to find to track Knox.

Was she still scared of Sylar? Maybe some aspects but over all? No, not any more. She didn't have anything that he wanted, that being reason one. Reason two, he was her uncle and he had already made it clear that he thought of her as his. His family, his niece and his to protect. He could be terrifying, she had no doubt of that and she was sure there would be times where the darkness might unsettle her a little but it would never scare her. It wouldn't be aimed at her and it was a shield for her now, she had to admit that she felt stronger having him on her side.

She felt safer being his niece.

Claire met his gaze as he gave her a long, penetrating look. It was a little unsettling, the direct stare seeming to sink right through her but she never looked away till he closed his eyes. Then she shifted her gaze to focus elsewhere, watching the area as he tried to find whatever he was looking for. She kept her breath shallow, trying not to move because she worried about distracting him.

When he finally opened his eyes, she could tell that he had found something and the right corner of her mouth curled a little in response as she felt a flash of pleasure at the thought. She knew that he could race off ahead and find Knox, probably could even kill him before she got anywhere near the two of them but he didn't. He kept her near him.

"Okay." She moved to follow him.

[its_notluck]

Claire didn't think anything about it as she watched him sniff the air now and then, he had told her the abilities that he had gotten from Mohinder and so she merely paused every time he took a moment to do what he needed to do. Sometimes when he stopped beneath a street light, she swore that she could see his eyes glowing which surprised her a little but she didn't really ask about it. She could ask later but right now he needed the peace and quiet to focus.

She was sure they were getting closer, especially when he mentioned finding Knox and she nodded a little bit, "Fine by me." She decided out loud before looking at him, "Seriously, whatever you have to do. I don't care how ruthless." After all, it wasn't like Knox had shown her very much care and he hadn't been gentle. He had been very ruthless with her.

[its_notluck]

Claire nodded as he decided that it was good. Not that he needed permission from her to do what he wanted, he was going to do whatever he thought was fitting and she knew that Knox was facing hell for what he had done. Worse than hell really. She knew there would be no mercy for the man because Sylar sure as hell wouldn't offer any and neither would she. She didn't have it in her to.

She glanced at him and then at the abandoned building, pursing her lips a little bit, "He must be squatting, figuring no one would find him there." He probably didn't have anyone to go to either. Good, just made it easier for them.

Quickly she followed, keeping her movements light as she mimicked his actions and did her best to move like him. Feeling him enter her head, she glanced at him and then nodded. She didn't say anything but she seemed to playing a song over and over in her head, just a faint sound as she played Bleed It Out by Linkin Park in her mind as she stayed close.

At the soft noise that he made, she glanced over at him quickly and then realized that she was humming in her head which he could hear. She looked almost embarrassed for a moment but still smiled as they continued forward. She had been temped to hum Rihanna or something but that didn't seem fitting for the moment and it wasn't like she had a playlist for murder or something. This was really the first time that she had gone hunting or intending to kill someone.

When the door opened, she barely hesitated before slipping inside and moving to the side to make room for him. When the door slammed shut, she could hear the echo through the building and she smirked a little bit because there was no way that someone could miss that sound. Knox would hear it and knew someone was there but she wondered if he had any idea bow much danger he was in at the moment.

He's cocky, he's not going to be afraid yet. She looked at Sylar even as he made the locks snap shut rather noisily. She knew that her own heart would be pounding if she heard that noise and wasn't expecting it. Looking down the dark hall, she wondered where the target was.

[its_notluck]

Good. She sounded pleased with the idea as she followed after him.

It was impressive, it really was. She watched all that he did, shaking her head a little as the glass rattled and the blinds started to do so as well. When the lights flared before dying out, she squinted a little and had to admit that she would be freaked right now if it was her that he was after. She could feel the anger as it rolled off of Sylar in waves, she didn't need to be an empath to feel it.

Where is he? She asked, looking up at the ceiling as though she could somehow see where Knox was.

Knox knew they were hunting him, they had to be. The Bennet girl had pretty much told him so when she taunted him from her bed while he watched her in the med area. He had wanted to hurt her for saying what he knew was the truth, that was why he had taken off before they could capture him. But he had heard stories of Sylar and he knew the guy wasn't going to give up.

He was sitting in an apartment, halfway through a sub when he heard a door slam somewhere in the apartment. He wouldn't have thought anything about it except that he knew that the apartment was abandoned. Stiffening, he straightened as he got off the floor and started towards the door of the apartment he was in.

Then the weird shit started happening. The windows and blinds rattling, the lights going on before dying and he knew. He was on the third floor and he knew they had to be on the first. Muttering a curse, he slipped out into the hallway and looked around as he wondered which stair well to run for. He chose the left.

[its_notluck]

Claire glanced at him sideways before looking back at the stairs and then the other set. When he told her which one, she smirked and nodded a little as she felt her body tighten with anticipation. Then he was telling her that she should wait for Knox at the bottom of the stairs and she paused for a second before nodding. Okay.

She moved to the stairs, pushing the door open silently as she slipped into the stairwell and listened to the sound of someone hurrying down the steps. She smirked slowly, just a little more, as she pulled out her taser from the inside of her jacket and waited.

When Knox reached the top of the stairs, she met his eyes, "Hey you." She held the taser but she didn't shoot it at him, it was more of a silent threat but she had a much bigger one on his way.

[feedsoff_fear]

Knox pushed open the door, slipping into the stairwell and starting down the steps. He held onto the railing, not really needing to fall and hurt himself. He just needed to get out of the apartment somehow before they got to him. He was sure it was Sylar but it could be someone from Primatech too.

Still, of all that he was expecting, he wasn't expecting to find little Bennet bitch standing at the bottom of the stairs with a taser in her hand. He slowed down and stopped at the sight of her, his head tilting. He didn't sense any fear coming from her but he didn't need the strength to get her out of his way.

"Well, well. Come to take revenge?" He smirked, taking a couple more steps down towards her.
