Application for Claire Bennet (Heroes)

Sep 01, 2007 19:34

((Done with permission from the Heroes-muns. Spoilers for the whole first season.))

( I want to wake up kicking and screaming/I want to live like I know what I'm leaving/I want to know that my heart's still beating,/Is beating, Is beating, It's beating, I'm bleeding/Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,/We're awakening/Here we are now with the desperate youth in pain,/We're awakening/Maybe it's called ambition, but you've been talk, talking in your sleep/About a dream, We're awakening )

((EEE, you have no idea how much I fangirl you right now >>; Too bad my characters have to crush your hopes and spirits :D))

Oh, Jesus, of all the freaking people.

"Claire?"

He hadn't seen her, in weeks, not since... God. And now she was here? Exactly who else was going to show up? This was nearly the entire family of Bennets, apparently. There was Hiro. There was Sylar. Who next? Heidi? Meredith? ...Niki? "You... what..." It was the most awkward Nathan had felt around somebody. His own flesh and blood, and he didn't know a damn thing about her. "What are you..."

This couldn't end well. Nathan cleared his throat, adjusting the unbuttoned collar of his shirt and fixing Claire with a half a smile, one that probably didn't quite reach his eyes. "I didn't expect to see you here."

Again. That whole not-talking thing? It worked so much in his favor sometimes. Why didn't he use that method more often?

Because, truth was, he did try. With Claire? God, he wasn't making up all that he'd told her, about wanting to be a good father for her, about wanting to... do better. Claire hadn't been around Nathan long enough to know just how rarely he tended to be genuine around the people around him, if the politician smile flashing all six hundred and eight seven of his teeth wasn't enough indication. And here he was, and what he'd told her was... severely not lying, but how did you make that up to somebody you'd fucked over so very royally ( ... )

At his departure, tears pricked in Claire's eyes. She was suddenly furious, the disappointment and hurt overwhelming her. No matter how much she loved her adopted family - her real family - she had idealized this picture in her head of what her bio-parents would be. That they would love her. That they'd want to be with her.

And now he was walking away. Again.

"I threw a stone at your car," she said, loudly, standing with feet braced, with hand curled into fists. "I was outside of Meredith's window and I heard you. You could have seen me. You could have met me! Why didn't you?" Her voice cracked, then, and she scrubbed angrily at the tears falling down her cheeks. "Why didn't you want me? Why did you walk away?"

Then, choking back a sob, she drew back. "Never mind," she hissed, glaring. "I don't care. I don't need you. And you made it pretty obvious you don't need me. But you're not going to leave me again, okay? This time, I'm walking away from youTurning, Claire did just that, heading off into the crowd of the ( ... )

It was a good thing that Nathan had warned Peter off speaking, because he definitely would have jumped in to defend his brother. Like all defense coming purely from the heart, it would have been completely incoherent, overly fervent and rather useless.

Not that Peter didn't know about the various bad qualities of Nathan. He knew them just as well as he knew Nathan's good qualities, but he was willing to overlook them. For all that Nathan lied to him, manipulated him and hurt him, it was okay, because Peter had faith that Nathan still loved him. That all of that was, if not for Peter's protection, then for the greater good. And if was for selfish reasons, then that was okay too, because it was Nathan, and Peter understood ( ... )
