Cleo and Mandy's high school reunion part 2

i stepped into the room in a sizzling red dress, all eyes were on me. it was just like high school, except i didnt have that try hard (dare i say b*tch?) by my side.
i spotted Mark in a bond style tuxedo, i immediatly stopped time and checked for a gun, he had a taser, but thats it. i restarted time and mingled with my old friends.

it was half way through the night when my powers surfaced and my hand was disapearing very quickly and then coming back. i was drunk so who could blame me? of course Mark was watching me!
i knew that he was calling people in via my telepathy, and i knew i had to run. i said my goodbyes and ran out, using superspeed, it was at this time that i was stopped in my tracks, i was running normaly now, because Marks partner had stopped time. i was tasered.

i awoke in the back of a van, i touched the side and saw its history, this was Marks van the one that we used to... well you know, in. but that wasnt the point, i was about to get killed! i was injected with something, i could feel my conscious self slip away, and the final screams of victory... or was it grief? i dont know.

But 2 hours later i woke up in the basement of my old shop, the food one, it was under new ownership, but i remember specifically sealing up the basement in case of emergency. I woke up to Mark sitting in the corner, munching on dorito's.
"what did you do to me?" i asked him, he sighed and looked up, tears in his eyes.
"my so called team mate Josh took away alot of your powers" he said, but that wasn't all. "it was mostly telepathy, lie detection and all of your jedi mind tricks"
"no illusion then?" i asked.
"no illusion" he said. i tried to read his mind just to make sure, but nothing. i used PK very well though.
"there's just one other thing" he said, looking up at me.

"that formula was imperfect, it takes power just fine, but it has the side effect of killing the person" his tears welled up more. my jaw dropped, how are you supposed to react to words like that?

"but there's a chance it wont?" i asked him
"yeah, but thats only if you have healing, like regeneration" he said, my hopes heightened. i knew where to find that power.
"how long would i have?" i asked him.
"about six monthes" he said. i sped off, and turned up at Ali's college. i was gonna get Claire's power, no matter what.

Cleo and Mandy's High School Reunion Part 1

First of all, Mohinder offered me a job to create a formula that takes away powers, he said he'd pay, at first i was intrigued. i like money. i know that you were all hoping (and so was i) that i'd end up working with Mo, but i might have ruined his plan when i erased his memory with my damn powers (that are still acting up) it sucks! he wont remember what was going on and i dont have much control these days so i cant get those memories back, so in my haste i got rid of everything that he would find suspicious. When i left the loft i could see Nathan Petrelli walking down the street looking shifty, but then again alot of the petrelli's are. Something was a bit off about hiswalk, he was wlking like Sylar, but i had other stuff to do, so i left to go back to my life, right where i left off.

i've been living in my old form (as in no illusion) for the past 4 hours, i decided i had no need for it, cos A.no-one is looking for me and B. i wanted to get back to my roots. so i returned to midland and was lucky enough to get a job at the burnt toast caf'e.

"did you hear about your high school reunion?" asked Lynette, as she handed me some plates.
"what?" i asked.
"Mandy told me about it while she was passing through on her way to Odessa, she's a teacher at union wells now" i hadn't heard from Mandy in ages! not since i abruptly left after my dad died.
"maybe i'll go, i haven't been to Odessa for a while, well at least not been able to be all nostalgic" i answered.

I marched into union wells high school, i found Mandy teaching a class. so i waited, i could have just stopped time, but after so many other catastrophes with revealing powers to old friends i decided to leave well enough alone.
When the class ended and that kid who videoed Claire jumping off of that tower walked past (why is he always the last to leave?).
I walked over to Mandy and hugged her.
"hey!" she cried. "i cant believe you're here, are you here for our reunion?" she asked.
"yeah! i just wanted to ask why were having a 5- or is it 6?- year reunion."
"we voted, we just had to know what was going on with people!" she cried excitedly. "so what are gonna wear tonight?"
"tonight!? thats short notice!" i said, but i already had the perfect idea in mind.
"so what have you been up to?" Mandy was giddy, she hadn't seen me since that wild party about two years ago. i stopped time and contemplated what i HAD been doing, i realised had been doing NOTHING, i knew it was too risky to use my powers to convince people that i was the head girl in St Trinians, plus i'm trying to avoid using my powers for a while, i'll only use them when i have to. but it didn't change the fact that i had nothing to say, so i took some inspiration from Romy and Michele's high school reunion, and lied my ass off.
"i'm on broadway" i said.
"really? what show?" she asked.
"oh, um... Cats" I answered, 'Cats?' i thought.
"wow" she said, "i'll be sure to tell everyone that tonight"
"cant wait" my voice was wearing thin now, i had to scream with her alot.
It was at that moment that i knew i was doomed (i mean seriously, Cats?) , and also that Mark Gak, my ex-boyfriend who (last time i saw him) was a bounty hunter for Primatech. but i'm going i want to know whats been happening with HQ. AKA Heather Quattro, she was sooooo weird.
but i just cant shake the thought that Angela petrelli would have a field day if Mark showed her my corpse.

Once upon a time in California

As i visited the old TP building (which i sold to some guy who was building a virtual reality machine) i was mesmerised about how much went on that i didn't know about. which i found out via clarsentience.
Like that Sylar had visited there, during his stint in Costa Verde (when he killed Elle). It was to find an old friend, a woman who had come into his shop once, she was looking for a man that was dead. his name? Gabriel Gray.

Over A Month (Maybe Two) Ago-

Sylar looked around for Linda as if he had a score to settle, it then occured to me that he probably did, no-one was there, we had treated ourselves to burgars and fries at Mcdonalds.
As the man with the creepy eye brows wandered around and waited, until Linda showed up.
"lots of nerve Gabriel" she said it as if she was testing him, to see how he'd react.
"MY NAME IS SYLAR!" he yelled, which didn't surprise her.
"i know that Sue Landers' power is tempting, especially since you want the truth about Arthur, who i think has alot of potential as REAL villain instead of trying to be The Godfather." she said, as she stood silent for a moment, Sylar said something.
"whatever your point maybe, i am a busy man, so lets hurry this along" he said, he through an electric ball at her to say that he's not kidding, it phased through her and she continued.
"i knew that you'd come after me, after all... i did escape. and you REALLY wanted that power" she said.
"and i can have it right now" as he TKed her to a wall, she began to scream at him.
"you cant take it!" and she was right she teleported behind him and negated his powers. "Now are you gonna listen?" he nodded. "okay, well i cant give you the power, and i know that you tracking me here was not a coincidence"
"you were on Elle's phone" he said.
"yep. so i took this opportunity to do you a favour"
"what kind of favour?" he asked wearliy.
"transport to Sue Landers faster, so you can get to Pinehearst and deal with THAT"
"what?"
"nothing that you need to worry about" she said. she and Sylar disapeared and my vision ended.

I'm back in NY now, i;v ebeen talking to Mohinder Suresh. who has made an interesting prosition. more on that next post.

Dreaming Of Reality

My powers are almost unlimited after the telepaths attacked, because the way i killed people was by taking aura's ,maybe its a power overdose that is making my abilities play up, i dont know. i started to dream of living in the 80's with and listening to the Footloose soundtrack over and over agin. Its so simple in the past, you just sort of forget about the horrific massacres of the future, but you always have to wake up.

as i awoke from that daydream i realised that my space manipulation had acted up again, so my hand was writing a letter, i re-atached my hand and began reading the letter.

Dear Cleo, i miss you and wish that i was still around to see you. being around you had brought out the killer in me, for while i was scared but i realised that i'd kill an entire country if it meant another day with you. i dont blame you for killing me, you were being controled, i could see from your expression that you didnt want to do it, i know you fought it. if this were in any normal persons world than we'd be together, you'd be powerless (but still perfect) and i'd be the guy who had to pinch himself whenever he woke up next to you.
From my spirit to your heart, Stan.

i guess my space manipulation wasnt the only thing acting up! my mediumship was too, so Stan's spirit could take over my body, the letter was corny and didnt need to be written cos that last three words he said to me seemed to say all these things. but it was nice to know i'd see him every night in my dreams, as we hung out without powers and we went bowling (and all that normal stuff) with our friends.
as i walked through the streets of New York and passed that cute paramedic with the copy power while he treated an 8-year-old girl and her mother (there was fire and they got burned really bad), i thought to myself: "any reality is good as long as i can dream about another one".

Now I'M being corny.

A new day

its been so long! and nothing's been happening with me, i just worked at the fast food shop and am not killing anyone (that much). But unfortunatly the telepaths have won, i killed 99% of them but it was that other 1% that killed many of the people of Techpower. I've decided to join The C.H.A.S.E, they seem to have many connections, including to a mysterious carnival.



I showed up there (the carnival) using my superspeed, (after a quick check in at Ali, she's in college now and is already teling me about a strange suicide on campus). When i arrived i was surprised to see Samuel, a second cousin 3 times removed.
"do i know you from somewhere?" he asked me.
"yeah" but i drifted away when i saw an evil glint in his eye and when i saw his powerful aura, he noticed this. and remembered who i was. he snapped his fingers and a man appeared behind, i knife to my throat. he was fast but i faster.
i'd picked up his movements and copied them via adoptive muscle memory. knives were thrown, as i summoned a sword and started fighting, time stopped. i didnt freeze but everyone else did, this had been happening since most my techpower team had died, my powers were acting up again, i used this oppotunity to leave and go see Ali for a bit longer.



Ali opened the door and rushed me in.
"whats goin on?" i asked her worriedly, i tried to read her mind but her thoughts were racing.
"we've lost alot these past few weeks havent we?" she asked. i nodded sadly, most of our team had perished because so many of us had our minds taken over, im sure i killed a few of my own team aswell. "well the suicide was clearly something else"
"what do you mean?"
"i couldnt sleep last night, so i looked out the window, with the periscope that Charlie gave me, and another girl, a blonde girl called Claire jumped out of the window!"
"another one? was it murder?" i asked.
"no! she jumped and i looked down and she got up and pieced herself back together!"
"wow!" i said, this was great news, i'd finally got hold of that cheerleder, but Ali, as if she had read my thoughts, said-
"dont take her power! i wanna know if Annie really killed herself"
"as much as i like that you're doing something worth while instead of trying to make Charlie forget about that night in Sacramento, i dont think that trying to be Veronica Mars is gonna solve that.
"hey you lost alot, maybe you just wanna sink everyone elses spirits as low as yours"
"dont bring up brad, dont bring up Chelsea and DONT bring up Stan" i said, at that i sped away.
