Adam waved to the empty seat next to him and signaled to the bartender to get her another of whatever she'd been drinking with her friends. He got a fresh one for himself, as well, and took a sip of it, regarding her before launching into a summation of what he knew.
"Claire Bennet, daughter of Nathan Petrelli and Meredith Gordon, adopted and raised by Noah and Sandra Bennet in Odessa, Texas, where Mr. Bennet worked for Primatech Paper which was founded in 1963 and was not actually a paper company at all." He should know, since he'd been a part of founding it, but this wasn't about him. "Niece to one Peter Petrelli, who's adorably earnest but has a bit of a hero complex that's going to get him in a great deal of trouble or killed one day if he's not careful. Granddaughter to Angela Petrelli, who tried to get her youngest son to blow up New York so her eldest could become President and save the world which never was going to work, but she really did have her heart in the right place, at least once upon a time, before the world trammeled it." He took another sip. "Oh, and there was something in there somewhere I heard a very, very long time ago about 'save the cheerleader, save the world' and I gather that meant you, though I've honestly no idea at all how you were supposed to do that. Hiro was fuzzy on the details of your place in the grand scheme of things, since, really, it seems Nathan did that all on his own, from how Peter tells the story."
He gave her a brightly charming smile. "That, I'm afraid, is about all I know, beyond the fact that you're the only other person like us I've even heard of in my life."
