David wakes up on a metal table, restraints on his wrists and ankles. "Where am I? What's going on?" says a puzzled David. "Ah, it looks like Mr Carver is awake. Hello David. You can call me Mr Bennet" says HRG. "What did you do to me? Why am I here?", David is still bewildered. "Well, I checked up on your background and it appears you lead a double life. You are not only a college student but sometimes do some work for the FBI" says HRG. "I see you've done your homework. Is there something you want me to do Mr Bennet?" asks David. "Yes. You see, I'm a very busy man and I need someone to act as a bodyguard for my daughter. You are the first successful test subject of the new formula." explains HRG. "Test subject? Formula? What kind of experiments have you been carrying out here? Also, why can't I remember what happened recently?" David asks. The Haitian steps out of the shadows. "Well now, there are people in this world who are beyond normal. They can do extraordinary things. As of now, you are one of them." says HRG mysteriously. "I'm not sure I get what you are trying to say" says David.

"The first formula gave the subjects a single ability each. However, with some research we've been trying to develop a formula which would give 2 abilities. Your the first test subject of the new formula not to suffer fatal side-effects. The formula was completely accepted by your body." says HRG. David looks horrified. "What do mean by 'we'? You mean you and the Haitian guy over there?" asks David. "No, I mean a doctor 'friend' of mine and myself. Anyway, my Haitian friend here will make sure that you gorget most of this conversation. So forget about trying to memorize the whole thing." says HRG.

Tokyo:

At Yamagato Industries; Hiro Nakamura is busy in his office and Ando is by him because they're still running their Dial-A-Hero side business. Kimiko comes in and asks Hiro how things are going? Hiro tells her, "everything is great Kimiko and I know there are a lot of people who need my help." Kimiko says, "Hiro, why can't I be let into some of your adventures, you take my fiance with your everywhere?" She then says, "I can do this." She then opens both hands and fire and ice come out of both; then she cuts herself and she regenerates. She then says, "I'm like your friend Peter Petrelli, I'm an empath and have many abilites, plus my martial arts skills." Hiro says, "please Kimiko, you don't know the meaning of being a hero yet." The phone then rings and Hiro answers, "Dial-a-Hero, how can we help you." On the other end Claire says, "Hiro, I need your help immediately." Hiro then said, "Claire, I will be there immediately with help. Hiro calls back in Kimiko and says, "you want to learn to be a hero, then we shall go." Hiro teleports both himself and Kimiko to Claire's location.

Washington D.C. (Heidi Petrelli's residence):

Heidi was talking on the phone as usual and Simon and Monty were playing outside. Simon said to Monty, "why hasn't dad been around lately?" Monty then said, "I don't know, but I would like to do more then wait around here for him cause I know that something is up." Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from a neighbours. Simon said, "my god, our neighbour needs help." Monty said, "Can you see what's going on." Monty's eye's then turned to the view of a scanner and he could see right through the walls. He said, "it appears that our neighbours cat is trapped in a crawlspace and if he falls, he'll die." Monty said, "we better get in there and do something." Simon said, "right". They knocked on the door and once the neighbour opened the door they rushed to the crawlspace and Monty then flew up, opened the crawlspace and rescued the cat. The neighbour was so impressed and shocked that he asked them both, "what are you guys?" Simon said, "we are special and we have special abilities", "our mother doesn't know yet; but my father can fly, my uncle was able to absorb the abilities of others, but not can only take one at a time; and our sister Claire can heal herself from any wound". Monty then said, "I have my uncle's old ability; I can fly, read minds, heal myself, see through walls, walk through walls, talk to machines, and be invisible; for now. Simon then said, "I can only see through walls", "You cannot tell our mother about this because we want to tell her at our own time." The neighbour then said, "ok, your secret is safe with me." Simon and Monty then returned to their home and Simon told Monty; "I think we should go and meet Claire, she's at Arlignton University" Monty said, "Yeah, we should go right now." The two started to fly to that location.

After all the necessary explanations HRG asks the Haitian to wipe clean all non-essential information from David's mind - he does as HRG asks. HRG then gets a call on his cell. "Noah? Its Angela. I had another pre-cog dream and well.... your daughter needs some help right about now." says Angela. "OK, I'll look into it right away. Thanks for letting me know Angela" says HRG politely. After the call he gets an agent who can teleport to agree to teleporting David to the University. Before teleporting David to the University HRG gives David a gift to give to Claire on his behalf. He also hands him some delivery man clothes to change into in the changing room. David gets changed in the changing room and comes back with the gift. "What's with the delivery man uniform?" asks David. "Well, you can't just walk in there no questions asked. Besides, I really do want this gift to get to Claire. You can tell her that you are to be her bodyguard ok? Its explained in more detail to her in the note included with the gift" says HRG. Reluctantly David agrees to everything HRG asks of him seeing as he was told if he refused then HRG had 'ways of making him accept' the bodyguard duty.

Arlington University

David is teleported to the location and then the agent soon teleports back to the new company building. Mr Bennet never even told me what my new abilities are! I mean can I fly now? Phase through objects? Use telekinesis? I have no way of knowing!! David thought to himself. He made his way into the University and went to Claire's room since HRG had told him which room she was staying at.

He knocks on the door. "Special delivery for Ms Bennet!" calls David, feeling out of place knocking on the door of this girl he has been strong-armed into being a bodyguard for. "Just a minute!" calls out Claire as she goes to the door and opens it. "Er.... hi! I have a package here from your father, Noah Bennet?" says David. "Oh, cool! Do I have to sign anything?" asks Claire. Woah, this delivery guy looks hot! thinks Claire, hoping that he isn't a Petrelli since he has the looks to be one - if he was a Petrelli then there was no chance of a relationship. "Yeah, just sign here" says David, handing her a clipboard with a form on it which she signed. "Oh, one more thing. Noah says that I'm to be your new bodyguard and that there's a note inside the box explaining stuff in more detail." says David. "Um.... o......k. Come inside while I take a look at the note" says Claire, letting David in before closing the door. She keeps a close eye on David as she opens the package. First she reads the note and sees the other documents included with the gift. "So... DNA test results huh? Lets see..... your DNA is nothing like Peter's! So your not blood related to me!" says Claire excitedly. David looks awkward as Claire says this. "Dad must have been worried that we may grow fond of each other." says Claire. "Is there anything else in there relating to me?" asks David curiously. Claire looks up from the note and notices a tracking device on David's neck. "He's doing it again! Your every movement is being tracked by the new Company." says Claire. "Um... that doesn't mean anything to me" says a confused David.
Claire then asks to check David's arms. David thinks its a weird request but doesn't think it can do any harm so says go ahead. Claire finds the needle mark where David was injected with the new formula.

"Its just like them! Experimenting with a new formula to give powers. Do you know what powers you gained?" asks Claire. "Actually I seem to have amnesia about a lot of recent stuff but slowly its returning." says David. "Aha! Could it be like the meeting Peter had with Adam Monroe that he told me about? My uncle Peter once had his memory wiped out but the rapid-cell regeneration slowly restored his lost memories..... Hmmm." says Claire.

Hiro:

Hiro arrives in Claire's room with Kimiko and he says, "Claire, I'm here to help you as you remquested". Claire then says, "I'm glad your here Hiro and I'm glad to see you to Kimiko." David then says, "who are you?" Hiro says, "I'm Hiro Nakamura, the master of time and space and a very close friend of Claire Bennett." Hiro then turns to his sister and says, "This is my sister Kimiko, she and Claire are good friends as well and they are both heroes like me." Hiro then says, "my sister and I are here to help Claire out because she requested us." Suddenly everyone was surprised to see a couple of kids flying in the window.

Simon and Monty:

Once Simon and Monty finished flying in the window, Claire looked at them and said, "oh my god, Simon and Monty is that you?" Simon looked at Claire and said, "yes sis, it is us", "we've been trying to meet you for a while now, but we could not find the right time; we felt now was the right time." Monty then said, "we know that you heal yourself; I too can heal myself and I can also fly, teleport, see through walls, read minds, and do many other abilites." Monty then said, "I can do these things because I have uncle Peter's old ability, empathic mimicry." Simon then said, "I can only see through walls." Simon then looked at the wall and his eyes did their scan and an image appeared and they could all see what was happening outside in the hallway. After this, Claire said, "my god, we really are a family of heroes; what are you guys doing here?" Monty then said, "we had this feeling that trouble was about involving you, so we came immediately to help you." Suddenly someone came into Claire's dorm room and it was:

A group of guys all dressed in black clothing burst into the room, guns pointed at everyone in the room. "Freeze!" shouted one of the guys in black. "We have orders to use lethal force if you don't come quietly". This is getting crazy! Well as the bodyguard, I better protect Ms Bennet. thought David. David gets in front of Claire. "If you want her, you've got to go through me first" says David defiantly. Claire whispers in his ear, "What are you doing? You don't even know what your abilities are!". "I have to protect you at all costs or who knows what your father and the people he works for will do to me" whispers David.

David then thinks of different abilities, trying to make something happen - anything! He holds Claire's hand as he does this and is surprised when at one point his hands become transparent-like. Yes! Invisiblity! he thinks to himself. "Hey, where did those 2 university students go?" says a bewildered guy in black. David and Claire make a break for it, and when they come to an empty room they go in there to hide. "That is SO cool! You have invisiblity! Peter used to have that too." says Claire.

Simon and Monty then appear after being invisible. Claire then says, "you guys are invisible too?" Monty then says, "you didn't think I was going to forget about getting that one did you?" Then Hiro and Kimiko showed up after teleportation. Claire then said to Hiro, "boy your really cool with your teleportation ability. I think both teleportation and invisibility are the coolest abilities of all." Suddenly they heard noises and voices saying, "check around for those kids, we need them for the experimentation." Simon then activated his ability and they saw about 6 guys coming from both directions of the hallway. Hiro then said, "looks like were boxed in, I will teleport Claire outside and the rest can fight." David then said, "why can't you fight?" Hiro then said, "because I must get my sword to fight, I left it outside." Claire said, "you have your sword; that is so awesome, I love your sword and the brave warrior you are." Hiro teleported Claire out and the agents broke in. Kimiko jump kicked 3 of them and Monty used his pyro ability to throw two of them back out into the hallway. David, using invisibility threw the 3rd one into the hallway. The group then proceeded became invisible from David and Monty and they headed outside and met up with Hiro and Claire. Outside; Hiro got his sword prepared and they all teleported back to the safehouse that Hiro and Kimiko setup upon arriving in the area. Once there, Claire told her brothers:

"Thanks for the help but you are still rather young to be trying out heroic stuff. You should really take care of Heidi and Nathan." says Claire. Simon and Monty say they are glad to have helped and will check on their parents now. They fly out the window and head back to Heidi's house while keeping an eye out for other people who may need their help.

"I love your sword Hiro but what I love even more is that David is an FBI agent!" says Claire. "Hey, that's supposed to be a secret!!" says David. "Don't worry David, I am good at keeping secrets. My code of honor means that you have no fear of me leaking your secret." says Hiro respectfully. "Thanks Hiro." replies David. Claire notices that David has things stored in the delivery man uniform. "Hey, do you have company issue gadgets and weapons?" asks Claire curiously. "Er... yeah. Noah gave me some stuff like a taser, a .45 handgun and some other gear." says David. "Cool, I love stuff like that! So what kind of work do you do for the FBI?" Claire asks. "Stealth based missions." says David. "Well THAT explains why invisibility manifested in you from the new formula" says Claire. "Huh? What do my FBI missions have to do with it?" asks a puzzled David. "Well, the original formula manifested abilities according to the personality of the host." explains Claire. "Oh, right. So what could be the 2nd ability?" asks David. "Well, I don't really know you well enough yet to figure that out!"laughs Claire.

Then they noticed the group of men in black exiting the building. "Hiro, could you and Kimoko please take care of those guys to give David and I time to escape?" Claire asks. "Leave it to me, Claire" says Hiro. Hiro nods to Kimoko, "Come on Kimoko, lets take down the bad guys." With that Hiro and Kimoko say their goodbyes to David and Claire before going to tackle the bad guys. Claire and David make their way to Claire's car. "Um, a couple of questions. First, can you make the car invisible? Secondly, where shall we go now?" Claire asks. "All I know so far is that anything I'm holding becomes invisible so I suppose I could hold on to you with one hand and the car door with the other. As for where we go, what is Peter Petrelli like? Could we hide out at his place?" says David.

Heidi's house:

Once Simon and Monty returned home, they found their father meeting with some of the men in black suits. They made themselves invisible and listened in on the conversation. One of the men told Nathan, "we couldn't grab your daughter because your sons, Hiro Nakamura, Kimiko Nakamura, and FBI special agent David Seeton were there and stopped the whole operation." Nathan then said, "okay, I just found out that they're heading for my brother Peter's; you can grab them there." Simon told Monty, "my god, dad is a part of this." Then when the men in the black suits left, Nathan shapeshifted to Sylar and he said, "they all better watch out because I'm coming for them." Monty said, "that's not dad, it's Sylar", "I remember uncle Peter telling me about him and all the harm he's caused our family and to Claire", "we got to get to uncle Peter's and tell them what's going on." Simon says, "agreed, the game isn't over yet for us." They make their presence known again and quickly fly out the window before Sylar spotted them.

Peter's apartment:

Peter had just finished a shift and was glad to be home. Once he got home Hiro, Kimiko, Claire, and David showed up. Peter said to Hiro, "Hiro, what's going on?" Hiro told Peter, "I'm here on an important mission to protect Claire, her life is in danger; as are the rest of ours." Peter said, "what's going on?" Hiro said, "it seems a new roundup is going on and we nearly escaped", "your nephews helped in our escape, but we sent them home." David said, "I'm with the FBI and it appears this is a strange case and I don't even know where to look to make my arrest." Peter said, "well have to figure something out." Suddenly, Simon and Monty returned and they immediately told Claire:

Peter's apartment:

Suddenly, Simon and Monty returned and they immediately told Claire: "We have information you should all know about. Nathan....is actually a shape shifting Sylar!". "Ridiculous! We saw Sylar's body get cremated." says Claire. "Well either its Sylar or he has a clone" says Monty. "Oh, and Peter you should know that Know has assigned David as my bodyguard as he knows how busy you are. Also, Noah can't watch over me 24 hours a day. Don't worry about us getting close - I know David looks like he could be a Petrelli but DNA tests show he isn't" says Claire. There she goes being weird about the being related thing again thinks David.

"What do you say we set a trap for Sylar? Monty, you can copy the shapeshifting ability and pose as Claire. David, you can er.... what can you do exactly?" asks Peter. Claire explains about the new formula experiment which has given David invisibility and one other ability that they don't know of yet.
"Hey, maybe its electric manipulation. Sparks. Lightning. Electrocute. Nope, maybe not" says David, trying to thow out electric bolts. "Hey, maybe you have pyrokinesis like Meredith did?" suggests Peter. David tries and fails to do the flame hand move though. "Um, never mind. For now we'll use your invisibility to help hide Claire away. I Simon and I wil hide with you both in case he gets past our first line of defense" says Peter. "So, what IS the first line of defense?" asks Claire. "Hiro and Kimoko will try to take down Sylar when he falls for the bait. If that fails then I'll help you and David take him down." says Peter. Claire hands over the documents to Peter to read. "Looks like Noah did a very thorough background check on David." says Peter. "Well, he may be starting out as my bodyguard but you never know what could develop" says Claire mischievously as gives David a kiss on the cheek.

OK guys, I wrote a piece from Angela's point of view. You can incorporate it here, but it can also stand alone. Let me know if you want it.

Yeah, go ahead! Whenever anyone wants to chime in with a plot addition do so. Well find ways to put it alltogther.

Woohoo, yes! Angela's point of view would be awesome. Thanks HFM! We'll add that to the story

Angela walked alone on the slippery sidewalk, trying not to step into last nights puddles. Today was dry, but the fresh autum leaves were blowing in concave circles and some stuck to the black veil she wore on her head. Not many people were out and about, and even fewer made their way to Angela's destination. She was at her wits end.

Where was Nathan? Well, thought Angela, she knew where Nathan was; in cryostasis at the Primatech facility in Las Vegas, waiting for some miracle to maybe bring him back, which at this point seemed more and more unlikely. No, she was looking for her Nathan, the closest approximation she could get of her son, stuffed in the body of a serial killer, intertwined with memories and mannerisms that weren't his own. Her creation, her frantic and flawed solution to avoid to loose her firstborn.

As Angela opened the door to the huge cathedral, she felt a shiver going down her spine. This was her place of last resort. She had been here just a few weeks ago. The times of absolute crisis were moving closer and closer together. She sat down in one of the wooden pews and looked at the intricate glass stained windows that filtered the early morning light in a plethora of colors. She tried to pray. It wouldn't come. Her thoughts returned to Nathan. He was so upset when she had last seen him. No attempts of dry humor had reached him. There was no conspiratory chuckle left in him. And he was angry at her. And then, no word.

At first she had thought he just wanted to punish her. Having a 'We are not talking to mom' week. But then he also missed an appointment with one of his benefactors, who was not taking it very kindly judging from the ear full she had gotten on the phone from him. The old Nathan would have never done this. The new Nathan, however? She could not tell.

The organist started to play a few warm up chords while Angela leaned back. If only she could find out what had happened. She could not get any answers anywhere. Who could help her? So many old friends had died. So many doors had closed. So many skeleton were in the closet. Far too many. Alone and with fewer and fewer connections, she felt helpless. Also the dreams did not tell her what she needed to see. She cursed her ability, then quickly drew the sign of the cross, remembering where she was.

What good had her ability ever done her? She had lost her parents and her sister to it. Her whole life was spent in hiding and preventing people from knowing, never trusting anyone completely. And when she used it, she never knew if she had done good, or bad. Prevented what she had seen, or in a weird twist of fate made that precise future happen. No, to Angela this ability was not a blessing, it was war.

Arthur had loved his ability of course. He had not only absorbed others abilities, he had absorbed the power that came with it and thrived off the gain as if he were a plant basking in sunshine and miracle grow. Of course he had wanted his children to have powers too. Nathan was born without any genetic markers and Arthur was livid. Accusing her of sleeping around, when it was as clear as could be that Nathan was his son. But then again, if he hadn't been Arthur's son, he might had have an ability, but that was something Angela had kept to herself.

Then, even after the formula and all the mayhem that was connected with it, Nathan didn't manifest. He turned into the spitting image of his father, all ambition and drive, no qualms about being the first in line, the golden boy. But abilities? He was an utter failure. Arthur never got over it.

Then Peter came along. Sweet, pure, loving Peter. How he had managed to be born into this family was still a miracle to Angela. There was no drive, no ambition, no me first mentality. He was the kid who would chase butterflies when the others were playing cowboys and indians. He was the kid who would rather read than go to a wrestling match. He was the kid who, when asked if he wanted to be a fighter pilot like his brother, would answer: No, that is way too loud.

And yet, he had a certain quality of conviction and perseverance to himself that Angela admired and envied. She clearly rembered the incident with the ten speed bike when he was 12. He had wanted a ten speed racing bike for his birthday. She had said no. She had explained that she thought it was too expensive and not worth it being used only a few times and then forgotten. When his birthday came, he had not made a fuss. He had politely thanked all the friends and family members for their gifts, but he had not opened the toy boxes either. He had just quietly collected all his presents and money envelopes and after a week, when he had returned all the gifts to the stores he had gotten himself the ten speed bike, chromium molybdenum frame and all. And he had ridden it for years. It was still somewhere in the big garage.

Angela had been so angry at him when she saw that bike that she was ready to spit, but Arthur had just let him be and had congratulated him on his ingenuity. And of course, ability wise, Peter's genes were off the chart.

The organist had stopped playing and now someone with a shuffling gate was exchanging the mighty candles near the altar. Angela wondered if she would soon have a similar fate as those candles. Being exchanged for a new one, becoming unused, useless, if not quite done with life. She had to do something. Had to make sure that someone would watch out over her biggest mistake. She had given up on Noah. He had made it quite clear that he was disgusted with her decision. Matt was also no help. There was only one left. One who would more than likely cut her out of his life forever. One who would maybe, just maybe find it in his heart though to help what was left of Nathan to come back to her. She stood up, made the cross sign and left. Outside she pressed 3 on her speed dial. She had to face him, had to explain her reasoning and hope he could forgive her. The message on the answering machine told her: “Hi, you have reached Peter Petrelli, please leave your name and number after the beep.”

Angela:

Once Angela heard the beep on Peter's voice mail she said, "Peter, it's your mother. When you get this message please call me back immediately; we have to talk." Once shw hung up her cellphone, she saw a group of men in black suits approaching her. She started to make a quick getaway, when suddenly a limo pulled up and the driver was revealed to be Noah and the Haitian was in the passenger seat. Noah said, "you want to live get in." Once Angela got in; Noah made a fast u-turn and spun out of there. The Haitian took his cellphone and called Peter.

Peter:

After Peter explained the plan, Monty found he did take the shapeshift power and made himself into Claire because he touched her. Then he reverted back to his own self. After testing the ability, Peter's cellphone rang. Peter answered it and said, "hello"! The Haitian on the other end said, "Peter, the men who are after you just came for Angela," "Noah and myself have gotten her, but you and the others have to meet our limo out front; we'll be there in 5 minutes." Peter said, "ok bye!" Peter told everyone what was happening and they left the apartment and met Noah's limo. They all got in and Angela was surprised to see who got in. She said, "my god! Hiro, Claire, Kimiko, Peter, David; and oh my Simon and Monty", "why are you here my grandsons?" Simon said, "we sensed that our sister was in danger and knew that we needed to help." Monty said, "we know that Claire can heal herself, but I can absorb the abilities of others like uncle Peter used to do," "I can fly, read minds, heal myself, see through walls, walk through walls, talk to machines, be invisible, and now I can shapeshift." Angela said, "shapeshift?" Monty said, "yes, I picked it up from Sylar, whose pretending to be our father." Simon said, "I can only see through walls." Angela said, "my god! I thought the two of you would manifest at a later age, but I guess we manifest when the time comes to do so." Simon then said, "we've been helping to protect Claire like Hiro has been doing and that David person." Noah then joined the conversation and asked Angela, "where too?"

That was brilliant HFM! Thanks for the Angela posts.

In the limo

"Where to?" Noah asks Angela. "The most secure place to be right now is the new company headquarters. If I have any further pre-cog dreams they should help us decide what to do next." replies Angela. "Oh David, I managed to forge some documents to throw the guys in black suits off your trail. They are hunting down a David Seeton. I know I know, its your real first name but for now it seems to be working. I'm having everyone at the FBI talk about that name instead of David Carver." said Noah. "Thank you Mr Bennet. I found out what one of my abilities is by the way, and it helped Claire to escape. Its invisibility." says David. "Oh my goodness, thank you so much for rescuing Claire. I knew I could count on you going by your file." says Noah gratefully.

Angela looks at David more carefully. "I have to say..... you do have the looks of a Petrelli, Mr Carver." notes Angela. "Its ok Angela, I already ran a DNA test and he's certainly not a Petrelli. He's certainly one of the best stealth agents the FBI has though" says Noah.

David Seeton Residence

"Well, this is the only lead we have to go on now. They weren't at Peter Petrelli's place or Angela Petrelli's place, heck even the Bennet residence didn't turn anything up. Its a long shot but they might all be holding up at this FBI agent's house." says a man in black. Little did they know that David Seeton had no ability at all and certainly didn't work for the FBI.

The man in black bangs on the door. "Mr Seeton? Can we have a word with you please?" asks the guy in black. "Who is it?" asks Mr Seeton as he approaches the door. THIS David is in his late 30s.

David Seeton residence:

David answered the door and the man in a black suit saw it wasn't the David from the university. David asked, "who are you?" The man in black said, "I work for a travelling industry and we thought you were the person we were looking for," "we know of the person were supposed to find and he's not you." David asked, "Am I the victim of identity theft?" The man said, "that's a great possibility." He handed David a card and said, "here's my card, call us if you notice anything unusual that can help us." David said, "thank you, I will." The man in black took his cellphone and called back the people he was working for and said, "it seems the new company has pulled a fast one." The voice on the other end said, "keep on trying, we must find the others."

New Company headquarters:

Once they pulled into the new Company headquarters they got out. Inside, they found the place to look completely different from the old company. This time, the cells were set for the most dangerous of those with abilities; there were those councilling others with abilties to us them correctly and wisely; and there were quarters for the whole family and those training to use their abilities. Hiro, Claire, Kimiko, Simon, Monty, and Peter were glad to see this. Noah said, Peter, your going to be running our field operations with me as director; Angela is the main director of the company; and a few others will be doing the teaching and councilling. Claire said, who will be doing this?" Noah indicated a direction for Claire to look and she saw Sandra. Claire said, "mom, is that you?" Sandra said, "yes Claire, it's me," "I've come to realize that my fate was set in stone the minute I married him, so I'm taking an active role in the new company," "your brother Lyle is going to help in field ops". Then Heidi showed up and Simon and Monty gave her a hug. Heidi said, "I'm glad you guys are safe," "and I can't imagine what your thinking now." Simon asked her, "you knew?" Heidi said, "yes, I just found out recently; I didn't know how to tell you guys." Monty said, "then you must know that dad is dead and someone is pretending to be him." Heidi said, "I know, but now we can stop him and the others evils of the world." They all toured the new facility and once finished Claire unpacked her things and was joined by Sandra and Angela. Angela said, "let's go and relax." The three of them headed to the massage room and the three of them started to get a massage. They talked amongst themselves and Claire told Sandra:

"I think I found the man of my dreams." said Claire. "Now now Claire, are you sure you've checked him out properly? He's not some troublemaker or criminal or anything like that?" Sandra asks. "Oh no, nothing like that. Dad alredy checked him out thoroughly. He picked out David to be my bodyguard and he works for the FBI" laughs Claire. "Well, if your father picked him out then he must be good for you. Noah is very thorough with background checks" says Sandra.

After their massages, Claire goes to find David and Peter. "Hey Peter, is David going to be rooming with me?" Claire asks hopefully. "Well, simon and monty are rooming together, Hiro is rooming with Kimiko and I think I have a room of my own. So I guess that leaves David to room with you or me I guess." says Peter. "Do you think you can talk my Dad into letting me room with David?" asks Claire. "You really like this David guy don't you?" teases Peter.

Suddenly Hiro comes up to the two of them and tells them, "for the time being; Claire and my sister are rooming together and I have to room with Peter and David", "The changes came just a second ago because a new wing is being added to the facility." Hiro then says, "Claire, please report to the training area because I have to teach you swordsmanship skills and your brothers will be joining us." Claire says, "oh Hiro, I am so much looking forward to training with you." She then gives him a kiss on the cheek and a wonderful smile and all three go to their quarters.

After her sword training Claire is told her next training session is with David to teach her how to shoot. "He's the finest sharpshooter at the FBI so he will be the best trainer you can hope for" Noah tells Claire. So David trains Claire who is soon a very accomplished shooter under David's training regime. "This is so awesome! Thanks for training me so well David!" says Claire. Claire makes out with David and they go for dinner together.

"You know something? I'm really taking a great liking to David. I wouldn't mind having him as a son-in-law" Sandra tells Noah. "Your right. I wonder when his 2nd ability will manifest?" wonders Noah.

Noah meets Hiro while Claire is still at dinner with David. "Hiro! You may be interested to know that we've heard word that Charlie is back. You remember her don't you? From the burnt toast diner?" Noah says to Hiro. "Ah, yes, the love of my life! Can you take me to see her please Mr Bennet?" asks Hiro.

Hiro:

Hiro is taken to Charlie. She gives him a kiss and she tells him, "Hiro, I was saved by someone in the past and then I was transported here and healed." She then says, "I am going to be trained as a field agent and be partnered with someone." The someone is a man I met and fell in love with a while ago." His name is James Walters and he just retired from Austin PD to work for the new company." Charlie then says, "I know that someone else has their eye on you and you seem to have your eye on her; I hope it works out." Hiro says, "thank you Charlie; I will try to be with Claire now and I hope to see you in my swordsmanship courses soon." Hiro heads to the recreation area to meet Claire for her nightly drink before going to bed. She drinks this alone and only let's people in there at the time talk to her. David is never around there at that time.

Simon and Monty:

Earlier that day before taking Claire out; David had also trained Simon and Monty on their handgun skills. He found their scores were more higher then Claire's and on par with Noah's. Noah told them, "David and I are very pleased with these scores," "once you both and Claire get in enough training; you'll be ready for your first assignments." Simon said, "awesome"; and Monty said, "cool." Once they left to go and get dinner with the rest of the recruits in the company cafeteria, Heidi came into Noah's office and said to him:

"Noah, I hope you are taking good care of my boys." said Heidi. "Yes, don't worry. They are well looked after here" replies Noah.

Later Noah goes to the recreation area and is disturbed to see Hiro looking too interested in Claire. He goes up to Hiro and says, "Hiro, I know you are a friend of Claire's but may I ask you please not to make any advance on her please?" says Noah. Hiro not wanting to upset Noah says "Oh Mr Bennet, if that is what you want I will not attempt to date your daughter." Just then Claire comes out having overheard. "Oh Hiro, I only see you as a friend. We can never be more than that. I'm sorry but your just not my type." says Claire.
"Dad, is it ok if I go and say good night to David?" asks Claire. "Sure, you go right ahead sweetheart" says Noah and Claire goes to knock on the room David is in. Claire felt no attraction at all to Hiro, he really never would be more than just a friend.

Claire:

Claire goes and wishes David goodnight and returns to her quarters. She talks with Kimiko and she tells Kimiko:

Sandra:

Sandra enters the recreation room and sees Noah there drinking a grasshopper; which he normally did before going to bed. Sandra comes to him and says, "baby, I'm really enjoying my councelling job with the students," "today, I taught the children that if they knew what they were and knew it was enough, then they could be heroes because when you know that it's what makes you special." Noah said, "I know that and I think that makes the two of us special." They kiss and then Sandra says, "Mr. Muggles is making a great impression on the students as well; today, my students petted him and each gave him a treat," "now tomorrow, a few will be taking Hiro's sword lessons." Noah said, "it's part of the knowledge and physical training," "once they learn everything they need, they'll be ready to face the world." Sandra said, "I know and right now I want to get to bed." Noah said, "I'll be right there baby." Noah quickly finished his drink and he and Sandra left the recreation room.

BWM27, thanks for having Hiro stop in his pursuit of Claire. For the storyline Claire is to be with David as I'm the primary writer for the pair of them. Um, maybe Charlie and James can break up so Charlie can be with Hiro. Charlie and Hiro have a lot of good chemistry.
=============

"Well, I just had a talk with your brother and let him down gently, as I simply can only ever see him as a friend. There will never be anything more between us" Claire tells Kimoko. "Thank you for breaking the news to him gently. I am sure he will find the right girl to spend the rest of his life with. Perhaps he can even get back together with Charlie." says Kimoko.

Meanwhile Hiro gets a call from a tearful Charlie who says she had a huge argument with James and broke up with him. James had secretly been involving himself with some criminals and he is not the type of man Charlie can love. She says she wants to get back together with Hiro. Hiro says:

For now; but I might bring it up again depending on what happens in the storyline later on. I will look into another direction though for the time being.

Hiro:

Hiro told Charlie, "that is sad, but I have someone else in mind to call first." Hiro hung up his cellphone and made another call. The person on the other end said, "hello!" and Hiro said, "hello Amanda, it's Hiro; we need to talk." Amanda, whom just arrived at the carnival said:

Noah and Sandra's quarters:

Noah had just finished taking a shower and Sandra was finishing doing a crossword puzzle. Once Noah sat on the bed, Sandra saw that Noah was upset; she'd seen he was upset all day and in the recreation room. She asked Noah, "what's wrong?" Noah told her, "I just got back from a trip in the south; in Georgia." Sandra asked, "oh god, did anything happen down there?" Noah said, "yes, I was trying to help a boy named Jeremy Greer understand and know his ability to heal and he died." Sandra said, "oh god, what happened?" Noah said, "I asked a potential new recruit for our company, named Tracy Strauss to help me; but we were unsuccessful," "the sheriff arrested him and when we were able to get him out and bring him here, the town gathered outside and were ready to kill him because he had an ability making him different," "someone in the crowd approached Jeremy and he panicked and made the man die; he could've healed him if the sheriff had allowed him to, but instead he went back inside and his deputy took him out back, tied him to the back of a truck and dragged him all over town until he died." Noah then said, "I sometimes wonder if I could have done more to help him, but I feel I failed him again." Sandra then said:
