Aren't We Related? -chapter 6- Paire
Chapter 6, great minds don't always think alike.
When Claire woke up, she couldn't help but smile.
She was laying in Peter's bed and Peter had his arms around her waist and his head resting on her shoulder.
It kinda surprised her that 'Nathan' or Angela still hadn't come in,
she wasn't complaining of course.
"Hey Beautiful." She heard Peter whisper in her ear and she should help but shiver.
"Hey to you too." Claire manished to roll over, facing Peter.
"It feels so good waking up with you next to me." Claire said with the biggest smile on her face.
Peter chuckled, "it sure does."
"We should go downstairs again, before they start wondering where we are. Maybe we could go to Matt now..."
As much as Peter loved Claire's company, he needed to know what really happened 'that day'.
"Hmmm..." Claire thought for a second.
"What if somebody asks what we were doing?"
Peter looked at her and answered, "I'm helping you with your homework."
He said like it was obvious.
Claire grinned, "Well you can help me anytime."
Peter laughed and got out of the bed.
"Now come on, time to visit an old friend."
Now it was Claire's turn to laugh, "do you have any idea how cheesy that sounds?"
"Yes, I do, now come on!"
Peter smiled, while he threw her clothes on the bed.
Claire groaned
Later
"This should be it." Peter and Claire looked at the house, really old, very ugly.
"Matt Parkman lives here?" Claire asked Peter shocked with raised eyebrows.
"Poor guy..."
"Seems like it."
"Hmm... then where are we waiting for?" Claire asked, almost jumping.
"What are you all excited about?" Peter asked confused when she actually started jumping.
"I'm not excited, I just have it a little cold but..." Claire couldn't finish before Peter wrapped his arms around her.
"Better?" Claire could hear the smile in his voice.
"Much."
They walked to the door and knocked, not too loud, but not quiet either.
They waited and waited.
"Maybe he's not home." Claire turned to Peter and shrugged.
"Yes, or maybe he knows why we've come." Peter looked back at Claire.
Then suddenly the door opened and Claire yelped.
Peter seemed to have expected it, cause he wasn't surprised at all.
He just looked at Matt, who was standing in the door opening.
"Peter... Claire..." He nodded his head to both of them.
"Hello Matt, you probably know why we are here." Peter tilted his head to the right.
"I'm not sure, but I am sure that you'll tell me what I've done wrong." Matt said darkly.
This wasn't the same Matt Peter met a long time ago, this one was darker,
like he had a secret and Peter was gonna find out what it was.
Claire just watched them, it was just like with her dad.
Only here it was Matt Parkman, one of them, one of their friends.
"Well, then.. Come in." Matt moved aside to let us both throug.
"So Claire, how have you been?" Matt asked with a smile.
"Huh? What? Me?" Claire wasn't really listening.
She was thinking of Peter, which was probably not a good idea when there are standing 2 mind readers next to you.
Claire blushed. "Oh.. I'm good.. Very good actually."
Peter grinned at her.
Crap, he probably did read her mind. Peter nodded and chuckled while Matt had a confused expression on his face.
Now Claire was confused, Matt was a mindreader.
Why didn't he hear her? Or Peter blocked him...
Peter looked at Matt, but the corners of his mouth were turned up.
So Claire knew she was right.
Suddenly she started feeling not good... Not good at all.
"Claire, you okay? You look a little pale." Peter asked concerned.
Claire couldn't help but smile, he was so... so perfect.
Peter blushed a little.
"I'm fine... Thanks."
Matt was just standing there a little like the third wheel.
"So, Peter? Are you gonna tell me what I did wrong?"
Peter turned to Matt and his eyes just darkened.
"You wouldn't happen to know anything about Nathan, do you?"
Matt paled. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
"Or should I say Sylar?"
Claire saw it again, the darker side, the more dangerous side of Peter.
She could it understand it though, this was his brother and if anything happened to him.
Peter would never forgive himself and wouldn't stop till he got revenge.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Matt said, but he knew as well as Claire that Peter would never believe him.
"DON'T LIE TO ME!" Peter screamed.
Claire cringed, she knew he wasn't screaming at her. But still...
Matt backed away from Peter.
He didn't say anything else anymore.
He could feel it. He could feel what Peter was doing.
... using his own power against him.
This wasn't gonna end well, Peter was much more powerful then him.
There they stood, two mindreaders, both of them very powerful.
All Claire could do, was watch.
If it wasn't so scary to see 2 old friends kinda fight, it would've been interesting.
She saw it then, Matt wasn't gonna win.
Peter had a small smile on his face and Matt's nose started bleeding.
Nathan ... died... Sylar... Shapeshifter...
The only words that Peter could here and he knew enough.
His brothers was dead and Matt used his power to make Sylar think he's Nathan.
But of course Sylar was starting to act like himself again, even though he didn't know it himself.
"Peter... I couldn't... I had to... I had no other choice..." Matt started.
But Peter didn't look at Matt, he just said: "It's not what I would've done." and turned around.
Claire, still not knowing what happened, walked behind Peter and stopping him as soon as they were in front of his car.
"Peter, what happened? You know you can trust me right?" Claire whispered.
Peter smiled sadly, "Yeah, I know... Thanks.... My brother's dead... Sylar killed my brother and... " He couldn't go on.
Claire just hugged him, she knew nothing she would say would make it better.
When they got home, Neither Peter or Claire said anything.
They were just laying on Peter's bed.
Apparently home alone again...
Sylar and Angela were almost never home again.
Probably cause Angela realised that Sylar was becoming himself again and she wanted to stop it.
Claire had her head on Peter's chest and felt home.
She could lay there forever.
And again she was starting to feel dizzy.
This was happening way to often the last time.
She didn't feel well at all and ran to the bathroom.
"Claire? Claire, you okay?" She heard Peter calling from the other side of the room.
When he opened the door he saw her sitting against the toilet, looking very pale.
"Peter? I think..." Claire started, searching his eyes.
"Peter, I think I'm pregnant..." After saying this, she just started rambling,
" I can't be pregnant, I mean we're related. What will my dad say? ... nevermind.. I"
It hit Peter then, with all the... Peter took a deep breath... Nathan stuff, he completely forgot that he didn't tell Claire.
"Claire... " Peter tried to cut in, but Claire just continued. " I mean, it's not that I don't want your baby.. oh my god! How sick am I? I want a child with my ... relative."
"Claire!" Peter said again. He waited a moment... " I have to tell you something too."
Claire just looked up. "What...?"
Now Peter was the one rambling, "I would love to have a child with you and.... and that's not the point... The point is ..."
He waited again, thinking of the best way to say this.
"We're not related, neither Nathan.... or Sylar... are ma's children. Nathan was never my brother." Peter said closing his eyes.
Claire just sat there, wide eyes, jaw dropped.
