Possible Scenarios 01. A New Arrival: Hello, New Person! You seem to have found yourself on a sidewalk in the City of Sin with nothing but the clothes on your back and a stomach chruning feeling of being displaced. Thankfully, the streets are full of people - Watch out that you don't get mugged! 02. Demonic Presences: You were just minding your own business, weren't you? But that's always when bad things seem to happen, and the City of Sin isn't really that friendly. Whatever bar or street you're hanging out in suddenly go dim, filing the area with an unnerving feeling as the shadows on the walls jump out into reality. We suggest you phone a friend for help, or maybe try running? 03. Party Hard: You've been invited to a massive, elegant party at the Tower that spills out it's doors in welcome, by someone who calls themselves the Emperor. Obviously that's weird, but maybe you can get some free drinks and food out of it! This place might not be so bad. 04. Prominence: The City of Sin influences it's population on a weekly basis. Too bad you came right smack dab in the middle of a heavy Prominence. Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, or Pride. Choose your choice of sin and be wicked. 05. Trouble: Not everyone is sunshine and roses here. Some people are violent and cruel, raised in the sludge of a sinful city. And they like to pick on people they think can't fight back. Are you that person? Or are you the Hero who can't stand to watch? Worse yet, could you be the person doing the instigating? Villian. 06. Carnival: The City has carnivals or festivals now and then; you're lucky to catch one! With it's open booths filled with cork gun games and funnel cakes, how can someone not have any fun! Go win your darling a stuffed animal, or meet someone new on the spinning cup ride. You might even see someone you know being talked into sitting in the Dunk Tank. 07. Wild Card: Choose your own adventure in the game's setting!

Oof. He could get used to hearing bones crack, but it never made it any more pleasant. Stealing a glance, he was pretty sure that both his nose and her hand were broken, but only one of those would stick around.

"Just got here yesterday," he replied. They had gotten to the point where they were standing next to each other. The three-man group had somehow dwindled to two while Peter had been occupied. One was still on his knees and the other looked hesitant as he faced both Peter and Claire.

"Trust me," Peter finally said to the guy. "This is a fight you're not going to win."

The smile on Peter's face was probably what did it. That and the fact that he made no move to keep fighting, seemingly giving them an out. The two aggressors backed off, and the crowd began to disperse. Peter rubbed at his nose, and gave Claire a big, open smile. "Sorry to show up like this." He always seemed to be fighting something when he ran into Claire. "You okay?" he asked, even though he was pretty sure he knew the answer. It was a little more open-ended than just asking about her hand, to be fair.

Claire wouldn't want to know what he thought of the fact that she barely noticed bones cracking or breaking anymore. She merely shook her hand when she pulled back, shifting closer to Peter until they were pretty much side by side.

She remained quiet for a moment as Peter warned them that they didn't really want to go any further. Holding her breath, she waited for one of them to try because there was usually always one idiot who thought he could win an impossible fight. Thankfully though, they both seemed smarter than she gave them credit for.

Waiting until they disappeared, she looked at the crowd before turning around to face Peter with the same smile. Then she laughed. "Yeah, we really need to stop meeting like this." She joked before waving a hand in dismissal and launching herself forward to hug him. She couldn't help it. It had been years since she had seen him. "I can't believe you're actually here."

How long had it been since he hugged someone who hadn't betrayed him? It'd been awhile since he'd seen Claire last, after all. He hugged her back, tightly, the smile staying on his face. "Yeah. Well, that makes two of us," he joked quietly.

The hug lasted a long time, and it gave Peter time to think. When he finally pulled away, he didn't go far- his hands stayed on her shoulders for a moment as he looked her over. "Should I ask when you got pulled out of...uh, wherever home was for you? It was 2010, for me. I hadn't seen you in a few months." Claire had been very busy lately.

Claire didn't seem to mind that the hug lasted a long time. She was more than content to press her face to his shoulder as she held on for dear life. Yes, Sylar was a familiar face from her world and that offered a weird measure of comfort but to have Peter? Someone who was always going to mean something to her? She couldn't even begin to describe what she was feeling.

She pulled back at the same time he did but her hands simply moved to his arms. "I got pulled before that. I was just getting ready to go to college." A beat. "But that was five years ago or more for me, Peter. This isn't the first pocket dimension or whatever that I've been pulled into."

[myowndestiny]

Oh. Well, that answered a lot of questions he might've had. Claire might not ever look any older, but she did change over time- how she held herself, how she acted. Peter thought there might've been some years in between. And apparently there had been.

He pulled her into another, shorter hug. "That's- you really get put through the wringer, Claire. Every time I think we've seen everything..." He laughed in disbelief and shook his head.

"You hadn't disappeared from when I was pulled from. So I don't know if that means you find your way back, or it's a different timeline, or what. I stopped trying to make sense of time travel after the last time." He shrugged. "Come on. We've got a lot to catch up on. We can get some coffee or something. Or I can show you the ridiculous place they gave me. I want to hear all about what you've been up to the past five years."
