Erin walked into the Lunch Room, She was scared and yet excited to start a new school. The excitement for the school, the fear for the fact that she had no powers what so ever. She didn't know what she could run into or who. She hoped she met the good people before the bad. She walked up to the man and ordered some pizza. She seemed to always have that 'New Kid' feeling. She turned and tried to find a place to sit.

Slowly, another student walked in, although, if any of the history books for the gifted were recorded ninety years ago, Erin might recognize him, his red, semi-long hair curving upward as its tips were black, a black, worn jacket over his red t-shirt, his green eyes gazing over everything...things had changed so much, especially since he had come into this new age...by whatever force had caused it. He occasionally glanced down toward his cross necklace, as his left hand held it tightly, a ring on that right hand as it seemed to be an old fashioned wedding ring. His blue-jeans were probably out of style by now, but Zak didn't care. He didn't care all that much what he looked like, he cared what God thought of him, even if the thought of God might be oppressed in this day and age. Zak would frown as he sat down at a table, by himself, looking somewhat solemn in that he was deep in thought...

Erin saw the boy and recognized him some how so she decided to sit with him. She sat the tray down across from him and then sat down. "Hi." She said happily, "My name is Erin. You look oddly familiar. Are you famous or anything?" She hoped her outgoing personality wasn't too much.

"Unless you've read something on the battle with the Great Flame, I shouldn't be too familiar. But hey, mabye they have a book about that now." He said, smiling as he looked at the girl, his green eyes looking soft and caring as they were no longer solemn, as before, grabbing the coke he had picked up before he had come into the room and drinking it eagerly. He didn't care what age it was, a coke was a coke, and good, for that matter. "So, what is your name?" He asked, friendily.

"Oh ya!" She exclaimed, "I read something about that, a few other names were mentioned. Zak right?" She smiled and took a sip of her drink, she was glad she met a good guy first. "The name is Erin. I'm new here, wow you don't look very old." She gave a confused look.

Zak smiled as he nodded to her when his name was mentioned...and then laughed lightly when she made the remark about him being old."No, I suppose I don't. Thats because, in reality, I'm not. I must have gone through one of those space and time warp-hole thingies." He said, simply guessing."But, its very nice to meet you Erin. And its good that you look into history...what exactly does it say about me, anyhow?" He asked, curiously..

She smiled when he said it was good about her studying. "Oh ya I love history especially about gifted people, it says you defeated a strong force that threatened the world. Some like Flame or what not, I haven't read about it in a while." She took a bite of pizza, "So a time warp? sound interesting."

"The Great Flame." He said, correcting her as he smiled."And I didn't do it alone. We all did it, Amber, Raid, Yulia..." He said, stopping at that moment."Yulia..." He said to himself silently as he sighed, looking at the ring on his finger as he wondered whether he should throw it away or keep it forever. He sighed as he then looked at Erin."Sorry, a little bit of the past. And a time warp would sound correct...perhaps that was what it was..."

When he listed off the names and stopped at Yulia she remembered reading about her, and that it said she had died. "Its ok, she must have meant alot to you." She knew how it felt to lose someone close.

"She did...allot more than I think I could say..." He said, shaking his head."I loved her, ya know...she was my wife, for however short it was." He said, sighing as he closed his eyes, thinking about her face as he felt a small tear falling from his right eye. Soon, however the tear dropped onto the table, turning into a small, blue flame, glowing lightly...

"Ah don't cry." She said then got up and ran around the table to sit next to him, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring anything up, oh please forgive me." She didn't know if actually getting up and walking around the table would be odd, she figured he would be used to people just teleporting or something.

Zak would frown, turning to Erin as he simply tried to smile momentarily."Thank you. And no...don't be sorry. Its good for people to cry...its better than to let it all out in rage." He said, smiling."All emotions are good, to a certain extent." He said, almost confirmingly."Tell me, do you believe in God?" He asked, praying a silent prayer to God as he spoke to her, hoping that she did. But somehow, he felt like she didn't. Perhaps this was God speaking to him...

She smiled when he said he was okay, "Yes I do, I mean I don't practice it on a regular basis like going to church every Sunday or anything," She smiled sheepishly, "But I do believe." She reassured. "I'm Cristian."

"So...you go every sunday? Nice. But that alone doesn't make you a Christian." He said, smiling as it was probably God telling him that she wasn't a Christian."You have to ask Jesus into your heart, and ask him to forgive you of your sins. Thats when you become a Christian." He said, smiling."I'll tell you, the only thing that got me through Yulia's death was God, and his love for me. I know it sounds cheesy, but I believe with my whole heart that what I believe is true, despite what others say." He said, looking up at the ceiling for a moment..

"I know, I know!!" She smiled, "Wow I've never found someone who believed so much." She folded her arms on the table and rested her chin on them. "They all called me hopeless and a lost cause, like believing in God would get me no where." She sat back up, "But all show them, I'll show them all, and possibly change a few minds along the way." She didn't say this in an angry tone more of a determined one, and not like she had to prove herself to anyone but more like she wanted to enlighten them. She had already proved herself to God and thats all that mattered to her. "I try not to sin in the first place, but I have to admit rarely it happens I mean I'm not saying I'm perfect not at all."

"Yeah, no one is." He said to himself, wondering if his gut was really right. From now on, he would not try to judge people before hearing from thier own words. Then he would determine whether they were Christian or not. But this girl seemed very committed...she seemed honest, true...kind of like a younger version of himself...and a girl. He smiled simply as he laid back, letting himself rest as he was still somewhat tired, he hadn't rested since the battle with the Great Flame."You know, God used me to beat the Great Flame." He said, smiling.

"Oh yes I'm very sure of that, though I wouldn't really use the term 'used' more like 'chose' you," She laughed lightly, "I'm sorry I feel like I might not be using the right termanology here. I don't think of it as God using us rather then choosing us and whether we accept or not is up to us, but of course with believers like us its really no doubt we would accept now is it?" It was more of a retorical question.

"Yeah. I say used me...and instead of chose me...so that the glory of it goes to him. He won that battle through me, not me through him. So he deserves the honor for that. But, thats where pride and humbleness battle it out, I suppose." He said, smiling."But, I guess in this world, I am the irregular pyro-user...every single person I know, besides Blaze, who used fire, gathered it from the Great Flame. I, believe it or not, drew it from God...thats why I could harm her. It was not her own flame..." He said, thinking, actually, pretty hard.

Erin thought about it for a moment, "Hmm very good position you have, I just might have my mind changed now." She laughed. "Though 'choose' could be like 'use'. You 'choose' your president and 'use' him to run the country." She trailed off into thought. Erin was a very optomistic person. "Sorry I'm rambling, hmm so you didn't get your fire from her, interesting I deffenatly thing God had something to do with that."

"Yeah. Exactly, God endowed this power to me, and I'm going to use to keep people from being oppressed, even in this day and age. I'm sure he'll give you some power, too, if he hasn't already given you one. I didn't get one until I was fourteen..." He said, smiling as he shrugged, relaxing as he looked a bit laid-back now, grabbing his coke and drinking more of it...

"Oh no I'm 16 I'm just a normal human. Nothing special like that about me." She smiled and slide her tray over to her, her pizza was cold now but that was ok she still ate it.

"I don't know. God used David to kill Goliath, and David was lower than normal...so..." He said, smiling."You might be able to best us all, in the end." He said, smiling as he continued to relax, yawning as he closed his eyes slowly...

"Hmm possibly. Sounds like it could happen." She finished her pizza, she then finished her drink too. "Its getting late I should be getting so sleep I got early classes."

"Alright. Have a good sleep." He said, yawning once more as he kept his eyes closed, looking like he was going to sleep in this very seat...infact...that was his entire plan, as his red hair fell infront of his eyes, serving to block out any extra light...
