Summary: Sometimes, Claire really hates Elle.
As usual, Elle made a loud, annoying sucking sound on her Slusho, and when Claire looked up archly, Elle was staring a hole into her, trying to get her attention.
“Do you think this should count as our anniversary?” Elle asked, poking at her fries. Claire made a face over her cheeseburger and rolled her eyes. She didn’t like where this conversation was headed.
“Gees, you sound like Sylar. He feels like every time we bump into each other it’s because it’s fate or something,” Claire droned. “It’s totally lame.”
Elle threw a burnt fry at her and frowned. “We’ve been together for over a year,” she enunciated.
“Don’t you mean, the Company kicked you out, you had nowhere else to go, and I felt sorry for you and took you in?” Claire said, tilting her head. Elle pouted, feeling slighted. She reached over, grabbed Claire’s wrists, and deftly rewarded her with an electric charge.
Claire started, but composed herself quickly and gave Elle a bored look.
“Shame on you. That’s not how a sidekick should talk,” Elle said, slurping on her drink again. She looked at Claire warningly, but Claire met her challenge with another daring stare.
“I’m not your sidekick; if anything you’re mine. I can’t die, remember? I’m way more powerful,” Claire said. “Besides, I hate you too much to team up with you. I don’t even like shopping with you.”
“But we live together and occasionally you sleep with me,” Elle said bluntly, frowning at her empty Slusho.
Claire’s lips thinned when Elle mentioned that last part. “I really hate you sometimes.”
Elle smirked wickedly, preening. “You love me, Pom-Pom. Don’t deny it.” She gobbled a fry. “Okay, if we’re not hero and sidekick then...arch enemies?” Claire met Elle’s devilish grin. She was flirting, that was it. And Claire hated that it was working.
“Arch enemies don’t eat cheeseburgers together and sleep with each other,” Claire pointed out, and Elle laughed evilly - you know, that evil laugh she did when she just barbecued someone for fun. Claire knew it all too well.
Elle’s eyes glittered and her tone turned to mocking. “Oh, Claire-bear, you really don’t know anything about the heroes, do you?”
Claire hated Elle even more when she was right.
