Title: In Time
Pairing: Claire/Peter
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None
Summary: Snapshots of Claire/Peter relationship from now to
ten years from now

Part One- Is He Like Me?

Peter had saved me. It looked like he died in the process, but he came back. He came back like I could. I had never seen him before, but he already knew all about me. He told me that somehow I was the key to everything. I was the key to saving the world. Talk about pressure.
I went to get help like he said. When I came back he was gone. My father told me the police had mistaken him for the murderer. He promised me he'd get him out. It seemed like the perfect time to tell my father the truth about my ability. Knowing that there was another person who could regenerate like I could made me feel less scared. I wanted to find Peter again. I wanted to know how he coped with this power. But most of all, I wanted to know how I would help save the world.

Part Two: On the Run

It's been two months since Peter and I met that fateful night at homecoming. It was the beginning of a completely different life, and the destruction of the one I held dear.
When I discovered that Peter had powers I felt like I could finally be myself without worrying that I was a weird freak. I felt indebted to him. He didn't just save my life, but he gave me a reason to embrace it. I had always looked at my powers as a negative aspect of who I was. I just wanted to be like any other seventeen year old girl, but after meeting Peter I realized that maybe having powers really is a gift. I could save people. I could help save the world.
The sad part of realizing that I wasn't alone was finding out the truth about my father. He had captured others like me and held them against their will. He had erased the memories of my good friend and my brother. He even tried to make me forget. But the Haitian wanted me to remember. For days I had to act like the same cheerful girl I was before I discovered that I could walk through fire without a scratch. I would talk and laugh with my father as I always did, but underneath my happy image I was frightened and lonely. Looking into my father's eyes I couldn't believe all that he had done behind my back. I knew he wanted to protect me, but at what cost?
The Haitian told me he would arrange for soemone take me away from my father. He said not to worry. He told me that I would be safe. I wanted to believe him, yet this same man had been erasing the memory of my mother for who knows how long. The Haitian told me to keep a bag packed and to wait by the entrance of the school gym. The person he sent would meet me there.
That night I lied to my father. I told him that we were having cheerleading practice that night and that I'd probably stay at a friend's house afterwards. It use to be hard for me to lie to him. But after everything that he's done, the lies become easier and easier. I waited by myself near the gym doors. Peering out the windows every two minutes I was anxiously awaiting my getaway car. I was still afraid of who might be driving it.

As I leaned against the wall of the gym I suddenly heard a car park outside. I stayed put. Part of me wanted to rush out, but a biger part of me was still panicked about who would be on the other side. It was then that the gym door opened. It was Peter.

"Claire, Are you alright?" he said as he ran to my side.
"Peter?...What-...How?"
"The Haitian found me a week after I saved you. I was unsure of him at first but when he told me he knew of the bomb and the threat Sylar posed I felt that I had to listen to him...When he told me about your father I knew I had to come for you."he said placing his hands on my shoulders.
"What's going to happen to me?"I say through a sudden burst of tears
With a slanted smile on his face he grabbed me in his arms and held me close.
"It will all work out...I'll protect you...we'll protect each other...But you have to come with me. Your not safe here." he said in a calming voice
Laying my head against his shoulder I take in his words. I think about all that's changed in my life, and then I think about how much trust I have in Peter and very little in anyone else.
"I'll go with you....Just promise to let me know what's going on. I don't want to be in the dark anymore." I say as I begin to break from his grasp.
"I promise...We better get out of here. Based on everything the Haitian told me, your father is really good at finding people so we better head out now before he senses that you're gone,"he said with a panicked look
I nod in agreement. We then run to his car and start off on our journey. Sitting beside him I feel safe, but a nagging question still plagues my mind, "What will happen to me?"

[Raging Clue]

I love this fic. It's too bad you can't write about the Peter/Claire pairing anymore.

[clois_lover10]

Nice fic! I wish Peter/Claire would happen on the show... :p

[IloveClark]

They're related.And even if they weren't She's too young for him.

[clanaalltheway]

love it!

[emily feist]

I think I'll start writing this fic again. For anyone who reads this, I'm going to stray from the show and throw out the whole related angle. None of that happened. This will be an alternate universe story. I agree that Claire and Peter shouldn't be together romantically at the ages they are now, but ten years from now is a different story. So, stay tuned for an update tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
