"Help me personally? No. Help our kind? Yes. Look, I know you have the ability to nullify other gifts around you. THere's a man in Philadelphia, name's Lott. He's been working on a plan to shut down Calibur. Go there."

Fission steps back from Zach, commenting to watch himself, and then vanishes in a flash of light.

"Well that was kind of weird but i have a feeling that wont be the weirdest thing ill ever see."

Zach heads back to the airport to get on a plane to Philadelphia to meet this Lot when somebody stops him a voice in his head.

"Help me please help me" a voice cries out

"Help me please help me" a voice cries out

Zach hears the voice but it grows fainter and fainter with each passing second until zach cant hear it.

" What was that about Hmm that sounded like no one ive ever met before perhaps i shall hear it again at some point" Says zach

Zach walks up to the airport ticket window

"Hi id like one plane ticket to Philadelphia"

"Here you go that will be $175"

"But i dont have $175 ugh do you take credit?"

"Yes we do here you are good sir and enjoy the flight"

"Will do thank you"

Zach takes the ticket and walks to boarding where his 3 hour journey to Philadelphia begins.

"I wonder what Lott will be like Hmm wonder where i can find him well lets just hope I can find him"

Once the woman disappeared from the room, Zero locked the door and then started to strip from their day clothing. Their shoes were kicked off, hoodie taken off with care and placed on the couch. The black muscle shirt beneath it was taken off then the khaki shorts. Finally, Zero was in their character print boxers. They happily climbed into bed and drifted off to dream land.

--

As seven thirty roll around, Zero had managed to to to lay sideways in bed with the blanket half on them. When the alarm went off, Zero shot up in bed and yelled at it in Japanese. Only four hours of sleep was had. Zero turned off the alarm and proceeded to get a shower and get dressed. Their morning consisted of their favourite Pop-Tarts and early morning cartoons. They awaited to see if the woman would come back to collect them.

8:14 am

Knock knock knock knock knock
"Zero? Are you awake? Its Regina," the woman on the other side of the door promptly announced herself.

[Derpy]

Zero hopped up off of the couch and walked softly over to the door. They unlocked it and opened the door with a Pop-Tart in the other hand.

"Good morning, Regina. Just eating breakfast before I have to go meet who-ever-it-is. I don't do well on an empty stomach."

[Khina Bree]

"That's fine," she walked into the room, "Mr. Lott won't be here until nine anyway. Even then, the meeting is at ten, so you have plenty of time."

[Derpy]

"So," Zero started heading back to the couch and sat down with their legs criss-crossed. "Any pointers that I should follower or just go in and surprise them and myself with what comes out of my mouth?"

[Khina Bree]

"Mr. Lott will be going over his plans for his case against Victor Grey and Calibur," she crosses the room, closing the door behind her, and sets a folder on the coffee table, "Now I cannot go over the details as that's the entire purpose of the meeting but..."

???: "But you may as well go ahead and begin, Miss Evalynn."
A suave sounding man's voice came from the door.

Regina quickly turned her attention to him, "Ah! Mr. Lott! You're...earlier than anticipated sir."

Lott was leaning in the doorway, not looking the most professional with his arms crossed over his chest. His eyes were half open, but enough for Zero to note them being a dark purple. His hair was shoulder length and a dark black. Fairness to him as he was at least wearing a suit.

Lott: "Good morning to you too, Regina," his eyes shifted to meet Zero's, "Ah, the jack-of-all-trades. Welcome."

[Derpy]

Zero had taken a big bite out of the Pop Tart when Regina was laying the folder down on the coffee table. They looked at the man with shoulder length hair and rather sleepy eyes. Zero did a sloppy salute with their left hand while chewing away. After a few seconds, Zero swallowed and then cleared there throat.

"Jack of all trades. That's right. Howsit going?"

[Khina Bree]

"I am well, thank you," he crossed the floor to the two of them, "I apologize if you did not sleep adequately, but our discussion is of the utmost importance."

[Derpy]

"I slept for four hours." Zero waved their hand in dismissal. "I'm a teenager, I don't need much sleep." They finished the last bit of the Pop Tart and uncrossed their legs. "So, what must we discuss?"

[Khina Bree]

"Victor Grey, the 'head of human resources' for Calibur, I believe that he has been secretly experimenting on humans. Genetic experimentation specifically," Lott began to pace, "He believes that he has the key to the next stage of human evolution, but in order to succeed, he has been 'bagging and tagging' various individuals across the world. Individuals with particular talents...like yours, Zero."

[Derpy]

"So, you're telling me that there is a man experimenting on other people?" Zero raised an eyebrow. "What am I suppose to do, dress in black and be a ninja and take him out? You know that's slightly racist, right?" Zero then started to laugh a bit even though they knew the man before was being serious. "Okay, okay, I'll be real this time. How am I suppose to help? About the best I can do is martial arts."

[Khina Bree]

"The best you can do...so far," he smiles softly, "but fear not. You're not the only person I'm recruiting to help bring down Grey. There are others who will fight for our side. One of them should be on his way here by now..." he looks to Regina, his eyes swapping to all white momentarily, "Zach seems to have had a little run in with Fission, Ms Evalynn."

"Has he now?" Regina responds with a half smirk, "Well, if Fission is around, I'd better keep up on security," she pats her hair, as if trying to keep it straight and leaves the room.

[Derpy]

"Is this Fission person dangerous?" Zero tilted their head to the side. "By the way," A smirk appeared,"You're cute."

[Khina Bree]

The man raised an eyebrow but with a smile, "You're too kind," he chuckles, "Fission is dangerous, but not to me or you, or even Regina..." he glances toward the door, voice dripping with sarcasm at her name, "but he's like us. Gifted. He's been fighting Calibur longer than any of us."

[Derpy]

"Just being honest." Zero then stood up and dusted the crumbs off of their khaki shorts. "So what do you want me to do? They looked up to the man with a smile.

[Khina Bree]

"Simple. For now, I need your help to recruit others like ourselves to our cause. Calibur is strong and they have the luxury of money on their side. We are not as fortunate and our numbers are fewer. Once we have a strong enough force, we can storm Calibur's main headquarters."

[Derpy]

"Hm. . . " Zero thought for a moment. "Question. Are you able to locate people with powers?"

[Khina Bree]

"Actually yes. My ability grants me insight to those with special abilities. FOr a brief moment, I can see through that individual's perspective, seeing what they see, hearing what they hear, and knowing what they know for a few moments. Naturally, I cannot retain all their memories, but I can see their memories for the past few minutes."

[Derpy]

"Okay. This is what I'm going to need. I need someone who can hack systems. I need those who can operate guns and other weaponry." Zero sat back on the couch and placed their thumb and forefinger on their chin. "I need someone who can do blueprints. What we're going to do, drain their accounts, find the most vulnerable spot and raid them. It'll take a while but I'll come up with a tactic and we'll take them down."

[Khina Bree]

This perked his interest. Mr. Lott chuckled, "Smarter than my Insight would have told me. I'll get to work on finding individuals of those talents, preferably soon. Meanwhile," he hands her an iPod, "this iPod has a databank of videos that you can have at your disposal. Acrobatics, cooking, martial arts, the works."

[Derpy]

"If you did a little bit more research, you would see that I graduated from high school at the age of ten. My ability aided in that. But, yes, I'm very intelligent. I'm just going to need to locate people to help. I mean, I could try to raid them myself but I value my life." They took the iPod and started to scroll through things quickly. "Aw, nothing dirty." Zero started to laugh. "But, thanks, this will help. Um, I need a notebook and pens or pencils so I can jot down notes."

[Khina Bree]

"Dirty...? Well, we have wifi and it has a downloader on it. I'll not ask..." he shakes his head and opens a drawer on the TV stand, producing a notebook and pen, "here we are."
