rp for [livejournal.com profile] girl_ofsecrets: can you teach me how to fight?

Twenty years ago, the Chelsea Piers had been a disaster area of collapsing sea walls, half-destroyed warehouses, and rickety boardwalks. Ten years ago, the city of New York had restored the place to its former glory, in the wake of its failed demolition. And now? Well, it's not the best neighborhood in the world, bordered by the Meat Packing District, but for the purposes of this exercise, Sylar figures it suits. It gives him free reign to kill anyone who bothers them, without fear of guilt, after all, and well. There probably won't be anyone around in the first place; most people still avoid this section of town.

The corners of his mouth tugging upwards into a pleased, wicked smile, he meanders down the boardwalk, heading for a warehouse he knows to be abandoned. It looks relatively rickety, like it's going to fall into the bay at any given moment, but he knows better--it's held up to super powered spars before. Still, that doesn't stop him from pausing outside of it, once he reaches it, to give it a once over. Nor does it stop him from taking a look inside, just to make sure there aren't squatters hanging around.

Then, once he's satisfied, he moves to the center of the room, leaning against a crate, listening for his niece. And to his credit, he manages to stand still for all of a minute and a half before he gets restless enough to start considering very literally climbing the walls. Hopefully, Claire will show up soon.

Claire had read about Chelsea Piers when she had wanted to learn about New York a little more after moving there. So she did know where it was and how to get there even with knowing that it wasn't the best place for a petite and seemingly harmless blond to head to. Well, she could be harmless except that she was carrying a gun and she was willing to do anything to get out of trouble if she was attacked. Whether it was someone from Primatech or Pinehearst, or even not. She didn't care, she would just shoot and run.

Of course Sylar also had that super sensitive hearing that she was banking on too and she could let out one hell of a scream if she needed to. So she told herself to not worry as she headed down to the area that he had suggested going to. Where they could train and no one would bother them. It would teach her something, get his aggression out and honestly? It would help with the trust between them.

Spotting a warehouse, she tilts her head to the side and looks around before moving forward. She could take a peek in there, see if Sylar was around or maybe she would wait there for him. It looked like a good place to train. Walking in as quietly as she can, she looks around for any sign of anyone and then she spots Sylar leaning against a crate. Offering a smile, "Seems like we had the same idea." She motions at the warehouse.
