Heroes Evolutions

Faction Zero

In chapter 3 of Faction Zero, Rachel comes to the hideout of a faction of evolved humans. In the kitchen, she meets John, along with a skinny guy, a large guy, and Gail. Rachel fights the evolved humans, but soon cools down. As they explain their situation to Rachel, Gail's daughter, Jennie, hugs her mother, begging Rachel not to hurt her.

In chapter 4 of Faction Zero, Gail talks with her partner, Chris, at a rest stop while Jennie plays. She feels guilty about abandoning the group they were with to be killed by Thompson, Jr. and Wildman. Chris tells her they would be dead now if they had tried to stop it, and that they are are going to a safe place to be with their own kind.

In chapter 5 of Faction Zero, Gail and her family sit outside a trailer at a carnival. She shoots flame into the sky from her mouth.

In chapter 6 of Faction Zero, Gail and Chris notice Rachel watching them from the woods. Gail asks if they should tell someone, but Chris says there is no need. Gail wonders if she will come in, but Chris points and says she left, causing Gail to remark that Rachel is still on her journey, and she is glad theirs is over, causing Chris to agree, although he sounds unsure.

Slow Burn

In chapter 1 of Slow Burn, Gail is in a car with her husband Chris driving and her daughter Jennie in her lap. She asks Chris if he is sure this is the way they were told to go, and he says yes, when Jennie wakes up and asks for a hot dog, pointing at a restaurant they are passing, Big Jim's Franks and Fries. Gail tells her it is closed down, and they will get her one latter. They arrive at the Sullivan Bros. Carnival, and are greeted by Samuel Sullivan and Edgar, and Samuel welcomes them into the "family".

A few months later, writes in her journal that everything is good, and that Jennie is making a lot of friends, and that she made friends with Lydia, but notes that Chris is still suspicious of the carnival.

In their trailer, Gail and Chris talk, and he tells her he is going look around and talk to people, as he does not trust them. She tells him he is just being paranoid, and he says maybe his mind will be put a ease if he does this. She agrees, and tells him she is going to Lydia's for the day, and will see him latter that night.

She heads to Lydia's trailer, hoping to ask about Samuel, who had asked her if she would help out the carnival, but is unsure about it. Lydia welcomes Gail into the trailer, but Gail notices something is wrong with her. She asks about it, but Lydia brushes it off, saying she is fine. When she tells Lydia about Samuel's offer to Gail to help the carnival save people like them, Lydia becomes concerned, and asks what he wants Gail to do. She says she is unsure, and that is why she is asking Lydia. Lydia glances out the windows to make sure no one is listening, and tells Gail that Samuel has been bringing in new people ever since his brother died, like he is trying to fill a void. Gail then tells Lydia about Chris not trusting anyone, especially Samuel, and she is unsure how to convince him otherwise. Lydia tells her that the carnival is all about family, and when Chris realizes that, things will be okay. Gail thanks Lydia, and leaves the trailer.

She returns to her trailer and begins writing in her journal when Chris comes back. He tells her that it is not safe to stay, but she tells him this place is their home, their family. He is shocked to hear her call the other carnies that, and that some of these people are hiding dangerous things, but Gail tells him that so are they.
