Elle smiled as she watched Claire lock the door to the motel room and slide across the chain. She watched the younger woman move towards her, graceful and almost predatory. Claire slipped her arms around Elle’s waist.
“It’s just you and me tonight” She whispered in Elle’s ear “No sweet godparents a few doors down”
“Just creepy motel neighbours” Elle replied with a smirk before pressing her lips against Claire’s. Suddenly she felt a jolt of electricity course through her. She pulled back from the kiss and grinned at Claire.
“Enjoying that new power are we?” Elle asked. Claire nodded then recaptured Elle’s lips. They didn’t waste any time shedding clothes and gravitating towards the bed. Blue electricity sparked between their bodies. The burning sensation across Elle’s skin was quickly replaced by the feeling of skin knitting back together. The surreal sensation of her own power being used by Claire and her using Claire’s to heal sent shivers through her body. Finally having the time to explore this new element of their relationship simply enforced Elle’s belief they were made for each other.
Claire was mindful that Elle would not be able to take the punishment she could, careful to keep the jolts of electricity small. She was revelling in the power that flowed through her body. The feeling of Elle’s naked skin pressed against her own and the mutual use of each others power. It felt like everything had come together for her, it was obvious that this was where she should be.
Claire gasped in pain as Elle sent a jolt of electricity through her, she then grinned at her lover and captured her lips in a heated kiss. She loved the way Elle could make her feel, to make her feel alive and human again. As Elle’s fingers slipped inside her Claire gasped. Her eyes squeezed shut she rocked her hips against Elle’s hand, her previous desire to play with Elle’s new power was completely forgotten with the feeling rising and knotting inside her. Elle placed soft kisses along her neck before biting down on her pulse point. Claire makes no attempt to muffle her ecstasy as she feels her orgasm building. As Elle’s fingers expertly work her clit she screams, her whole body releases and there is a sudden light and Elle lets out a cry of pain.
Once Claire calms down her realises what just happened.
“Baby I’m so sorry” She kisses Elle softly.
“It’s ok” Elle smiles weakly “It all healed, it just - well it hurt like fucking hell”
Claire pulled Elle close, their bodies wrapped together as they settled into the sheets of the bed. “I guess I’m going to have to learn to control that”
Elle nodded “I should have expected this, that once we worked out the first step it would be harder to control these things”
Claire giggled a little “I love the way you spark when you come, the electricity flowing through me, I guess I should have thought about how that would hurt you.”
Elle smiled and pulled Claire into a kiss “Now I can heal I think I can learn to live with the pain”
Claire glared at the GPS in Elle’s car. She looks over at her companion who is slumbering in the passenger’s seat, her face is pressed against the window and Claire cannot bring herself to wake her up. She wishes the GPS hadn’t led her down a dead end street. Elle had let her drive and she didn’t want to get lost, it didn’t help that she didn’t know where they were or where they were going but the handy gadget was meant to fix than problem.
“Where are we” Elle asked, blinking her eyes rapidly as she woke-up.
“Lost” Claire stated simply, throwing her hands up in desperation. Elle looks around then laughs at the brunette.
“We’re here Claire” She unbuckles her seatbelt then stretches, she pulls a face as she hears the bones pop and shift in their sockets.
“Oh, good” Claire grins, pleasantly surprised to find she had gotten to their location safely. “So we go meet your boss now?” She asked.
“Yea” Elle steps out of the car then shadows her face with her hand. She hopes they haven’t been spotted yet, he doesn’t know she has brought Claire with her. She hopes it all works out in the end. Claire is already bouncing around the car, eager for Elle to lead her to the new chapter in her life. Elle smiles at the younger girl, she had always seen Claire’s desire to rise to the occasion and be a real hero. It was no surprise that she would be eager to be back in action. It was complicated though, Claire was essentially switching sides. She hoped Nathan wasn’t aware Claire was still alive; she needed everyone here to be on board before they discovered their best agent was alive, kicking and not to mention sleeping with the enemy.
“Elle” Noah smiles as he lets Elle into his office.
“I brought someone with me, she’s waiting” Elle had left Claire with the receptionist.
“I know, I don’t think I should see her Elle, I don’t know what you hoped to accomplish here.”
“She wants to fight for you, for us”
“How did you manage to convince her of this?” Noah raises his eyebrows. Elle had a lot of things going for her as an agent, she could certainly be persuasive but he doubted Claire would fall into Elle’s trap.
“I have my ways” a telltale smirk and Noah feels a rush of nausea at the realisation that his beloved daughter had indeed fallen for Elle’s charm.
“Don’t look at me like that” Elle growls, she knows what he is thinking. She wishes she could tell him it was all innocent. High school romance and holding hands, but their relationship came from exactly the scenario Noah was probably imagining.
“She’s my little girl Elle” Noah shakes his head. “She’s grown up so much hasn’t she?” He knows he has to accept the changes in his girl. He wishes Elle hadn’t brought her here, he doesn’t want to confront this.
“It’s time Noah, it’s time to deal with everything now” She tries to stand tall but she always felt a level of insecurity around Noah Bennet. He’s a man she has always respected and a man she wanted to please. In recent years he has become a father figure of sorts for her, not that she had any other male role models since her father passing.
“She can take missions, she doesn’t need to meet me” He really doesn’t want to be confronted with the young woman his daughter has become.
“We have something to show you Noah.” Elle smiles softly “We have this connection, it’s … well I can’t explain it”
“I don’t think I want to know this Elle”
Elle smirks at him “Not that, look we’ll just show you”
Noah nods and calls through to his receptionist to send in Claire.
The door slowly opened and the brunette poked her head in. The excitement on her features quickly melted into shock. She hadn’t expected to be confronted with the man she thought was dead.
“Dad?”
