December 7th, 2008
The air was thick with fog. Vision and sight was blured threw the white smoke. There under the cover of the weather, A girl came into focus. She was unlike anyone before her. Her clothing ripped to shreds and her hair cut one side short one side long. Ash and dirt covered her entire body. Scars and blood was apparent. She closed her eyes. " What once was shall now be again." She chanted. As soon as she said those simple words her ability activated.
Her hair grew to a normal style. Her clothes became whole again. Brand new and clean. Her skin looked as if she healed herself. The blood and dirt were gone. Erased from her body. She looked normal for the most part now. Maka gazed into the fog. She wasn't looking for anything or one specifically. She just wanted to find someone and ask them a whole bunch of questions. For one being what year was this. Maka had control over her abilities but she lets it take control of her. Guiding her were fate has decided her to be.
" Why here? Why now? Whats going to happen in this place at this time?" Maka asked to herself. She was covered by the fog which made it easier for her to work. She saw that there were only a few people on the streets tonight. A few that didn't look special. " Have i came here for nothing? " She doubted herself. If so then it would be the first. Theres always a reason behind everything. Maka stud ready. Ready to make a connection with somebody from this time. However everyone she gets to close ends up dead or wishing they were. Maka prefers to work solo. But a new team is needed. A team to neutralize the heroes and villains.
A team of dark heroes. Maka basically has been moving from time to time. Place to place. She has decided to form a team and take them with her. Help them with there lives in return to help her take on the worlds most evil villains and most driven heroes. She needed Dark Heroes. People who would do anything to get the job done. People who would go outside the laws of society and fight for the grater good. She needed people who could handle themselves. She would start this search for the heroes and she will start it today. In this very street she could feel somebody was coming her way. But who? "Are you one of them or one of us? " She asked before she laid eyes on them. Not sure if anyone was even there.

It felt weird to be in New Jersey and really Garrett didn't know why at all. But there was just a feeling he couldn't shake at the moment a spooky feeling. But he just got over it. Today was juist a normal day and when could he ever use that word without a laugh? Normal is something he isn't. He was reminded of that everyday.
Taking his hands out of his pocket of his coat he held them in front of him. Producing heat from them he sighed. He disliked the cold very much, luckily he could deal with it with great ease. Still that was the thing that always reminded his self that he wasn't at all normal. His ability. The same ability that took his parents life.
Walking through the streets his hands held out he closed then in a fist deactivating his power. Not as if anyone could see his power unless he was next to ice it would mostly melt. Then again they would probably feel it the warmth that he gives out. But they would just shake it off as nothing special. How he wished he could do the same.
Why was he thinking this those thoughts had no place at this time.

Maka took a step back when she didn't here an answer. She gripped her twin blade sword. He white fingerless gloves made a soft crunching sound as her grip tightened. He eyes peered into the surrounding fog. There she saw Garrett's shadow. She then slowly relaxed. " One of them?" She muttered to herself. Meaning that this man was just ordinary from the looks of it. Tho looks can be deceiving. She walked closer and closer to the man. Making herself visible to him as he was now to her. She looked at him with a cocky confused expression. " Tell me Mr." She paused changing her expression into a smile. A fake Smile but still a smile. It looked as if she was really happy at lest. She did call him Mr. which she is known to do. She never really pays attention to names of normal people. However she didn't know his at this point so it wouldn't matter.
" I'm Maka Nekawa. I've just got off this extremely long flight from japan and I'm lost. I think Ive been traveling a long time tho. " She lied to the man. " Do you know what todays date is by any chance? Or what state this is? " She asked the man. Turing to get the time she deported to. were did destiny want her to be and why? She continued to play the innocent traveler. " I think my flight was wrong English not so good. " She added. Hoping this man would act like a decent civilian and help a women in need. She was fed up with all the people who tried to get in her pants. She just gave a worm friendly smile twords the man. The complete opposite of who she really is.

Looking up Garrett saw a woman apparently he didn't hear her before. That would be what that sound was when he was thinking deeply. She had a katana very interesting as he stared in admiration at it. As Maka was asking questions about where she was he was happy to tell her. With a happy smile on his face he answered, "No problem ma'am. Well lets see. This is New Jersey, the date is December 7th 2008. Anything else you need to know I'll be glad to help you out."
"...Um...I know this might come off weird completely," he paused to put his hand under his chin. "Have we met? You just look so familiar. Sorry I know that sounds strange." shaking his head Garrett just sighed. But this place was somewhat eerie like.
"So where would you like have gone?" he asked out of being just nice. He would just hate to see someone lost in a city. That was just wrong completely. "Oh and by the way your katana looks very elegant." he liked many things swords being one of them. He blames his grandfather for that one!

Maka was grateful this man would help her out. He seemed to recognize her. After he asked if they had meet before Maka shrugged. " I like to travel maybe we seen each other in a different city a different place." She told him. Leaving out that she could time travel and could have seen him when he was just a small child up until now. Maka didn't remember him or felt the same way. To many people she saw in her life. To many to keep track off. Unknown to Maka her brother Ray had drawn 2 issues about her in the new 9th wonders. It was possible Garrett saw these comic books. Maka didn't know how to answer the man so he would be happy. where would you like have gone? He asked. " Mum I..." She paused not knowing herself. She just let go of her restraint on her ability to teliport and time travel and ended up in this time at this place. was it fate she meet with him? or was it something else, just a mistake. " I wanted to go to New York to see the sights." She lied once again. Luckily her time lying had made her very good at it. She smiled at the mans comment about her sword. " Thank you its a old artifact from the feudal era. imported from Japan. " She described it. In craved on the handle was the godsend helix and a short saying. " With grate power comes grate responsibility." She read off of it. Realizing it sounded like she was ripping it off of spider man. " Funny we've become accustom to that so much its lost its meaning hasn't it?" She asked sarcastically. "New Jersey 2008?" Maka repeated. What was so special about this time. A tiny foot step could be herd on the ground. It was Kibbles Hiding behind Maka. He made a dash for Garret. Kibbles smelled him quickly and then ran back to maka. He put his paw on her right leg. Maka bent down and scratched his head. " Good boy." She said to the puppy. " So your one of us." She said her expression serious and her tone changed to somebody on the defense. " You have an ability. What is it? " She asked. Maka trained Kibbles to sniff out people with abilities. Kibbles was actually 2oo years old. Maka much older then that. Time and age doesn't effect them as it would normal people.

"Oh sorry my bad." it was slightly disappointing to figure out that he didn't meet her before. But the memory was just so fuzzy but she still seemed familiar. It was just so strange and it was also annoying to feel that way. He just hoped that his face didn't show his thoughts.
"Ah New York, okay I can see how that happened." he said not rudely but just plainly as he tried to understand the situation. Then when she was describing her katana he nodded in understatement. And then saying how that one quote had lost all meaning agreed, "Yeah, it is like it is put to everything about now." he laughed at his comment.
Then as a dog appeared and walked toward him and left before Garrett could pet him. He felt somewhat like a fool with a hint of rejection in his heart when he knelt down. So he stood up then she spoke again. Saying something about being one of us. Looking at her confused he waited to see if she would finish that statement.
Then she asked him what his ability was, his eyes went wide before stepping back in shock. "My ability? What are you talking about?!" he replied instinctively. Then taking another step back he came off the defensive and then started to comply. "...I can emit radiation..." he said in a low tone. Then demonstrated his ability.
His hands glowed red and white energy and gave off this time harmless heat. Not like last time when he got angry and emitted radiation that led to the death of his parents. "Do...do you have an ability." he asked her before shutting of his power.

Maka didn't acknowledge that he had mistake her for having seen her before. She felt like he most likely had. She was just so busy with everything she doesn't have time to stop and talk with everyone. This man was lucky he caught her on a slow day. (Gathering information.) The dog kibbles was trained to act in the way it had done. Maka trained it not to trust anyone she didn't. That means almost everyone she came into contacted with. She has a command word that she Will tell Kibbles to form that bond. Kibbles tho well trained dose sometimes disobey Maka in this command if hes around the same person for a long time. Maka nodded at his comment about the quest being used about everything. It was so true, yet Maka didn't share the humorer in it. She hated how people lived now adays. Tho the past was no better.
At first Garrett seemed to hesitate about her knowing about his ability. Perhaps he was scared of telling her because of the two rival companies. Or it could be that he didn't know how she knew or how she found out he had one. Also it could give hints to her ability. If somebody knew that Maka was evolved human as they say. She would have thought that they had an ability to read minds or have knowledge of others with abilities. Maka just thought this way about everything. As he admitted to it and displayed his power Maka smirked.
" Just as i thought. Your one of us all right. " She commented. She thought this man would have a connection to why shes here. All people with abilities usually have another life they hide from the general population. Normally Maka can get into that life they hide and lend her assistance. Maka didn't consider herself to be a hero. She thought of herself as more of a heroes shadow. Always in the back and fighting for the heroes goals. Being used as a tool to help that said hero make a difference in there time. " Every Hero has his time to shine. Tell me Mr. When your time comes will you be willing to use that ability to shine threw and save this world?" Maka blurted out like it was an everyday cookies and cream conversation.
As Garrett asked her about her ability makes grin turned into a full smile. She was cute when she smiled but didn't do it often. " My ability is hard to explain, better i show you while i talk." She told him. Maka then finished. She appeared behind him. " Teliportation. " She said as she teliported back. She took out her sword and threw it up into the air. She put her hand up and the weapon froze in the air. " The sword is not floating but time is stooped for that alone, making it look like its flying however...." She said as she released it. It continued to fly up a little and then went back down. " The motion was paused for the object alone. " She described and looked at the man as if her explanation shouldn't be hard to follow but had a feeling that he wouldn't get it. " Next up." She said as she knelled down to kibbles and petted him. She used her aging ability to turn the puppy into a grown dog. " Aging. For anyone or thing." She told him as she turned him back to a puppy. This explains her (fake) abilities a bit. She could also heal herself be refusing time for her body alone. erase or give memories by decreasing time for someones Brain. If she increased them she would gain the dream form of precognition having memories that she would have obtained in the future because her state of mind would be in the future. " Basically the ability to effect all forms of time in anyway." She summed it up leaving out her fake ones. She was very powerful not because her ability was. But because she trained to use it in unique ways. " One ability could be used in more then the obvious ways. Ive evolved my ability threw years of training. " She told him. However she left out the part she was older then 200.

When Maka talked Garrett listened in great depth then as she talked about him being a hero he couldn't help but say something. "I doubt I would call myself a hero, but if someone needed help I would gladly and willing save them. Or the world. Even if the world isn't worth saving still everyone deserves to live."
Using the word "hero" sounded too much to describe him, if she was describing him. Garrett then watched as she showed her powers. She appeared behind him looking behind his shoulder his facial expressions showed no type of shock. Then the sword froze in the air, or time stopped around it. She then continued her multiple display of powers, to age her dog.
"Quite impressive I do have to say. Or if you don't mind saying." then Garrett realized she kept calling him mister. That sounded weird, it made him feel...well old. And since he just showed his powers he thought it best that he should at least she should know his name. Hell she knew one of his deepest secrets. "The name is Garrett Griffith, my friends call me Gary." he said to her.
"So what exactly did you mean by, 'Save this world?' Would I ever have to. I wouldn't mine helping out people or risking my life. Its just what is happening that I would actually need to. I'm sure you would know since you could time travel."

Maka grinned as Garret told her he wouldn't consider himself a hero. She felt the same way once in her life but now after her many years of being alive came to the conclusion of who she really was. " within a individual lies grate potential to become a hero. Many people now think heroes are the suite wearing comic book types who fly around. I view the biggest heroes are the doctors saving lives, the little old lady feeding the homeless, The environmentalist trying to do there part in saving this world. You don't need powers to become a hero. Tho now adays abilities help especially when there are those with them who want to take over this world and run it straight threw the ground. " Maka told him trying to give her view on what a hero is. She really hated the goodie two shoes version of a hero. She hated the villains, the heroes and the people who stud bye knowing they could do something but don't. She hated allot of things and this could be why shes always alone sulking.
As Maka showed her abilities to Garret he seemed to remain calm and collected. She studied his facial expression. She gave another smirk, which she dose when shes impressed by something. " Looks like you've had encounters with people with abilities before. That or your not easily shocked. Other way both are good qualities to have. " She complemented him. She then tried to remember Garrets name, "Garrett Griffith" she repeated. It was a nice name she would try to remember this.
Then as Garret asked her about the reason why she asked him to save the world Makas face grew serious. She was happy he wouldn't mind sacrificing himself for the well being of others. She did know the future from being there first hand. She closed her eyes. " The future..." She started to say. " The future has become hell on earth. I don't mean that figuratively. There are people out there right now who think there saving this world. they view themselves as heroes. In the future a evil team of villains find a way to turn the heroes against each other. They cause them to kill each other and with no more heroes to defend the world the villains divided earth into territories. Each of the villains on that team rules over it. The one in charge of them all is a man named Sylar. He has the ability to take other peoples abilities. My nephew Keith leads his army. Keith has the abilities of anyone in his family. Me included. In this time hes currently working with Sylar to start there plan to take over the world. " Maka said all mono tone. "This is the world that they wish to create. " Maka told him handing him a photo of the future.
Within the photo there were many creatures. Monsters that resembled the human form. Fire and explosions were every were. The world seemed dead no plants animals humans. The sky was filled with black smoke tho it was daytime when she took the picture it looked as if night had fallen. " This is were i came from. i stole this photo from the last survivor. Her abilities was preserving moments in photos and then she could travel use the photos as portals to travel back to. A form of teliportation. She has died like the rest of them." She said. By rest of them she meet everyone she got close to but she hopped Gary would think that she meet the rest of humanity because there was no one left besides the evil villains. " They refure to themselves as the dark Army. The ones who have a higher authority call themselves Dark royals." Maka informed Gary.

All the talk of Heroes and Villains was very disturbing to think about. And then Maka showed him a picture of the future his heart began to beat fiercely in his chest. Such a dark world would exist in time, that was what scared him. That, that photo in her hand could be his life. He could be one of the many people who died.
The mentioning of two names, Sylar and Keith; Garrett tried to keep those names to memory. How could anyone possibly do such things to the world. He of course knew about many bad people. And who wouldn't abuse powers if they had any. But to take it this far it infuriated him to a different level than others have before.
His negative emotions started to swirl around in his heart. It was just so impossible to believe, but there stood the truth. And why would this girl lie to him? Then his anger was starting to manifest in his powers activating them.
His hands once more was covered in a red and white light he walked away from Maka as he grabbed his stomach in pain. Unfortunately for him the shirt started to burn off. Laying his other hand on the wall it began to corrode away from the radiation of it. Breathing heavily he tried to get back in control of his powers.
He eventually did as he stood back on his own legs. Swallowing hard he looked back at Maka. "I'm sorry about that." he apologized to her. Not knowing why his just thought it to be best. "So is there anything that I could possibly do to help?" already diving back into the conversation.

After being shown the photo Garret Begin having a small loss of his control over his abilities. Maka watched him as his covered in a red and white light and he seemed to feel a pain within his stomach. She studied this and came up with possible explanations for this. " Judging from your reaction you might not have full control over your abilities yet. They are somehow triggered by you emotions? Which then that would mean you feel deeply about this photo. Strong enough to help prevent it." She commented.
Maka noticed the ripped and Burt shirt that was shriveled up with a hand in print outlining his abilities had taken place. " Don't worry. " She started to say as she walked closer to the man. "In time you will learn to use these powers of yours." Maka said trying to encourage him. She put her hand on top of the ripped shirt. She reversed time for the shirt alone causing it to become like new again. The torn hole was now gone. Even the cresses were there from when you first bye it at a store. " Its cold out Mr. We wouldn't want you to catch a cold. " She told Garret.
As Garret regained control over his abilities Maka studied this to. She studies every movement and every sight. Which is why shes so bad with names and labels. She uses to much of her memory on the little things like how there body is positioned and were the nearest exits are. How many people are in the line of fire and who is looking at them. " Its a good idea for you to take up meditation or yoga. Those work best with an unstable ability. Also i would set up a bomb shelter. One made to train inside. Use it Incas you start to loose complete control. " Maka suggested. She left out the fact that shes meet somebody with a simile ability. A man she had meet in her past but future to this time line. He could cause anything around him to explode by looking at it. Tho it did not work with humans it was very dangerous.
Maka was happy that Garret wanted to help. She was not worried that he apologized to her. " You've done nothing to have to apologize for. Keep in mind that i have lived in that future in the photo for about 43 years. " As Garret asked her what he could do she thought about it. She tried to come up with a quick plan. " I think we should try to gain more allies. If there forming a team of villains we will need are own team of heroes. " Maka paused to to think. " Hmmm... You have what we like to call an attack ability. We will need you in the front lines most likely. I have more of a sideline ability. Which is the reason why i needed help. Tho my ability might be usefully fro healing or travel. Yours is better suited for combat. " Maka told Garret."
"We need a army. One to take on the most cruel and powerful of the villains. Find the Heroes, Build the army, Attack the villains before they form there army." Maka ended with that statement and hoped Garret agreed. She was open to suggestions.

Mohinder Suresh was coming from Pinehearst. He had just got a job at the Company. He really didn’t know why he was doing this. Of course, he was only doing this because around this time if he remembered correctly that he did join Pinehearst. He was just trying to make sure that he didn’t fuck him his future. Of course, he did make his present self go to the future.
He just hoped that he could figure out this time-traveling deal. He wanted to go back to the future, but it didn’t look like it was going to be that easy. He needed to be in the present to do some things that he thought were important. Mohinder sighed as he walked down the street away from Pinehearst. He was going to get something to eat before heading back to New York.
Mohinder wasn’t paying attention. He was collecting his thoughts when all of sudden he ran into to people. He looked up and frowned. “I’m terribly sorry, I should have watched where I was going” He said as he quickly apologized. He then proceeded on his way, but stopped in his tracks when he heard the women mentioned something about an Army. He turned around. His eyes grew wide. He didn’t say anything. This women was quite interested indeed.

It was pretty nice of Maka to repair his shirt even though he would have kept warm without it. That was one good thing about his ability he could keep warm. "I'll take your advice. So...when will you actually need my help?" he asked. It wasn't as if he did not want to do it or had anything better to do. He just would like to prepare his self. And like she said get in control of his ability.
"Not a problem sir." he said to a man politely. Then went back to looking at Maka. "An army...that sounds...like the only way." he admitted. Even though he did not want to fight he knew he would probably have to.

After Maka stated that they would need an army Mhinder bumped into them. Maka just gave a quick glance at him not saying anything. He looked failure but why she did not know. Sort of like how Garret felt about Maka. What a weird feeling it was. Maka now sympathized with Garret feeling this for the first time. The man apologized and Maka nodded without looking at him. She gave a grunt like it was alright. Turning back to Garret listening him ask his very important question. " When?" Maka repeated the question like it was irrelevant. " Perhaps my demonstration was not enough for you. Let me tell you again. I can Control time, Time has no meaning for me and now with me on your side it has no meaning for you. Lets say that we put you into a training program. I will teach you to control your abilities like my masters taught me.." She stooped her conversation with Garret as she noticed the other man still standing there.
" Look Mr. I dint have time to be stalked so...." She stooped yet again this time it was because she reconciled him. " Mo hinder? " She asked. " Your here in this time? I didn't recognize you without the symbolize. Which means you do not have the abilities yet. Is this what you meant when you told me I would stop that from happening? That i would stop you from turniping yourself into that creature? " Maka asked Mo hinder as if she knew what she was talking about. Mo hinder and Maka were friends in her future 100 years from now. Within the next 40 Mo hinder would die in this time only to be revived by a curse in her future. The curse will change him and he will team up with Maka Oswell as others to fight the dark army of the future. Maka smiled. " If we can have people like you from the future and people like Garret from the present then maybe the dark army will fall. There is no way they would see this. Heroes from different times might be are best bet." She told them both.
"The time is now boys" She told them playfully. " Lets take back are world we start training now. Garret were could we train away from any people? someplace secluded. I'm not failure with this times landscape. In are time its one big war zone. " She asked Garret.

Mohinder stood still as he heard this strange lady make no sense. He swallowed his tongue and looked at the lady, “Yes, my name is Mohinder” He began as he placed his hands into his pockets “Well, I’m not from this time, and I’m from 4 years into the future, I have some abilities expect I can’t master one of them.” He admitted as he looked down. “And my present self didn’t make himself that creature, so we are okay he does have abilities, but he isn’t turning into a lizard, he injected with an injection that was one of the last formula from when the Company started”
He had no clue if he was making any sense or not. “So I’m supposed to know you in the future?” asked Mohinder a bit confused. “And the Dark Army…” He said as he trailed off as he thought. That sounds so familiar He then looked at Maka shaking his head, “You might want to catch me up to speed, I’m kind of lost about a Dark Army, the name sounds so familiar…”He then trailed off “The Shanti Virus, some kid wanted my present self to produce the Shanti Virus…” He trailed off.
