Pairing: Matt/Daphne
Rating: PG
Thanks to perdiccas for the prompt 'Matt saving Daphne from Knox and Flint'


Knox drags her along the corridor with Jesse bringing up the rear.



“What I don’t get,” Jesse asks, “is why she doesn’t run away?”



“She’s afraid,” Knox rumbles, smiling at her. “She’s so afraid that I’m strong enough to stop her.”



“Let me go!” Daphne insists, trying to break his grip.



“Soon girl,” he says.



“Will you stop calling me that?” she snaps. “I’m not six years old!”



He hurls her into the room and she crashes to the floor. Jesse and Knox block the doorway.



She rolls to feet and looks around the room. A shape unfurls from the shadows and walks forward.



“You’ve been neglecting us Daphne,” Arthur says, smiling at her and drifting closer.



Daphne braces her shoulders. “I’m out of this, Mr Petrelli.”



“Out? Really, why would you want to do that?”



“I can’t do this. I can’t do that to him,” she says, taking a deep shaky, breath. “Do what you gotta do to me, but leave him alone.”



He looms over her. “You think you can bargain with me?” He puts his hands on her shoulders. She closes her eyes.



There is the squeak of rubber as Jesse and Knox turns on their heels and walk away.



“Come on,” Matt says urgently.



Daphne opens her eyes and steps back, staring up at Matt in front of her. “Where’d he go?”



Matt grips her hand and smiles. “He’s downstairs with Sylar but he’s on his way.”



“Brain mojo thingy?” she asks weakly.



Matt kisses her softly. “Brain mojo thingy,” he agrees.

Awwww, so sweet! Thank god for Matt :) I wonder what Arthur has on Daphne, and I'm becoming more and more worried about the condition she was in when he 'found' her. Hmmm...

Loved it! <3

Thanks! I've read some cool theories but it'll probably be nothing as awesome as the ideas :P

Totally cute! Just what I needed right now. I think you have Daphne's voice down really well. :)

Thanks so much for writing it!
