Betcha didn't expect this.(birthday fun for Sylar and everyone invited to his party)

After Claire found out the address to the house in the Hamptons that Adam bought on a whim, it was fairly easy to convince Sylar where they should head without really telling him what they were going.  She was just a curious girl after all and she wanted to see what the houses were like in the Hamptons because she had heard there were some that

Nathan had decided he didn't feel like taking a taxi, and he hadn't driven himself anywhere since he'd paralyzed his wife, and wasn't about to start now. But he had another option, and after a moment's hesitation, decided to go with it.

Sylar's gift proved a bit of a problem, until he found a backpack he could carry it in. Once that was settled, he slipped on a windbreaker and sunglasses and headed out.

Finding the place wasn't hard, he'd seen pictures, after all, and it was distinctive from the air. He landed on the front path. A few steps had him at the door. He rang the bell, turning and gazing out at the yard, hands in his pockets, while he waited for an answer.

Claire heard the knock on the front door as they are all pretty much near the front. She looked over her shoulder, wondering who hadn't arrived yet because she had just arrived herself and so she didn't know who was all in the house.

She was definitely going to have to play 'Marco Polo'.

Pulling open the door, she found Nathan standing there and she smiled a little since she was pleased he had shown up. "Hey, come in." She stepped back, motioning for him to enter.

"Hi," he said softly, turning and giving her a slight smile. He shrugged off the backpack and pulled a slightly crumpled giftbag out of it. "It didn't travel well," he said ruefully. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to repair the damage the wind had done to it.

She took the gift bag from him, chuckling a little bit. "I'm sure it's all fine." She nodded before moving to shut the door behind him. "I'm glad you made it out." She told him, stopping at his side.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world," he said. Sylar was his brother, even if they hadn't become buddy-buddy. "He here yet?" he asked.

She smiled as she took his hand, nodding her head. "Yes, we're all out in the back." She squeezed his hand. "He's surprised. He thought we'd all forget."

"I didn't forget; I'd never known." He squeezed her hand back then draped an arm around her for a quick hug. "Let's go see him, then."

[its_notluck]

She hugged him back, leading him towards the back of the building. "Sure. Everyone is gathered around the grill and pool."

He followed silently, feeling just a bit apprehensive. He took a deep breath. He could handle this. He just had to get through the day, then he was going camping with Peter, and that would help him clear his mind. He hoped.
