Malina Bennet and Tommy Clarke
Somewhere in Michigan
Malina and her brother Tommy were running through the streets, hiding from the evo hunters. Badly. The hunters were hot on their tails. Malina kept stopping now and again, thrusting out her hands, causing a blast of wind to blow the hunters back a few feet. They were making things more difficult than they needed to be. But the twins were determined to complete their mission. Find the others, save the world.
"Over here!" Tommy said urgently. They hid behind a big green truck. The hunters ran passed them. Malina pulled out a photograph.
"We have to find them," she said softly.
"I know," Tommy nodded. "Come on."
"You know, this girl resembles Molly Walker... That's impossible, right? Because she died at Renautas... Grandpa said so." Malina pointed one of the several girls in the picture she was holding.
Tommy glanced at the picture. "You know what? I think that is Molly. Matt Jr. and Shanti are there, too."
"No, no, it can't be. Molly is dead and her brother and sister live in India with their dads. There is no way that is them."
"There is only one way to find out... We're going to Kirby Plaza."
"How would we do that, Nathan? That's in New York."
"We steal a car."
"... Or..." The blonde girl had her eyes fixed on a motorcycle across the street.

Catriona Stein
Somewhere out of time and space.
Catriona was a Legend. Just like her grandfather before her. When the Legion of Doom had attacked her city she'd stolen the time ship known as the Waverider with five other super kids. They became the Legend Kids. Saved the world. Almost died several times. The usual.
Presently, she was sitting in her room, while the Waverider floated aimlessly in the temporal zone. There hadn't been many mishaps to the time line - aberrations - lately, so everything had been calm.
She should have known it wouldn't have lasted. As soon as she began drifting off to sleep, an alarm began going off, alerting the team of their latest aberation. Catriona groaned and marched into the Bridge, very annoyed.
"What is it?" she grumbled. "Who screwed up the time line? I was trying to - where the hell is everyone?!" Glancing around, she realized that her team was no where to be seen. "Gideon?! Please tell me you're still here! "
"I am here, Miss Stein," the ship's artificial intelligence/super computer answered.
"Thank God," Catriona sighed. "What happened?"
"It appears the aberation has caused the rest of the Legend Kids to disappear," Gideon told her.
"Yeah, I got that, but why? What's the aberation?"
Gideon was silently for a moment. "I'm picking up a location in New York. Kirby Plaza, 2006."
"I need to get there, then," Catriona said. "Looks like it'll be a solo mission...."
She walked over to the captain's chair. "Can you get me there?"
"I'm afraid I can only go back as far as 2015," Gideon said. "Captain Hunter has strictly forbaid me to go to 2006 New York."
"Why?"
"I am not permitted to say."
"Hm...that's helpful." Catriona rolled her eyes. "Okay then....plot course to 2015 New York, Kirby Plaza!"

Kirby Plaza
Micah was still arguing with P. trying to get her to stay and fight, rather than run away to Denver, when he spotted two familiar faces.
"David Petrelli, Jason Bennett," he greeted. Paige instantly went quiet, making herself hidden.
"Micah Sanders," David nodded. "So...you got our email?"
"So it was you who sent the picture," Micah retorted. "I should have guessed."
"I'm seeing a severe lack of world needing to be saved," Jason pointed out.
"That's what P. said." Micah muttered. And then he felt his sister elbow him in the ribs. He rolled his eyes at her.
"So...now we just need to find the others," David said. "Shiro probably already knows, with his abilities and all. Malina and Tommy are probably already on their way...."
"So, who wants to go to India?" Jason asked, sounding bored.
"Also...who has money to buy plane tickets? Because I spent all my money on - holy shit!"
The others looked up, where David was pointing. There was a massive space ship landing right there in the middle of New York. An actual honest to God space ship.
When it had landed a teenage girl, maybe nineteen, stepped out, walking down a draw bridge type thing. She looked around and nodded. "Not too bad, if I say so myself." She seemed to be talking about her flying skills. "Okay, aberation, here I come!"
Then she noticed the other four, well other three, Paige was still invisible.
"Shit," she cursed. "Uh, hi. I...come in peace! Wow, I sound like a nerd right now..."
"Who are you?" David frowned. "You're not in the painting..."
"Excuse me?" the girl frowned.
"Maybe she is," Micah said, ignoring her comment. "We're all looking off into the distance. Maybe she's just out of the frame, so we don't see her in the picture."
"Again," the girl said, "excuse me?"
But the boys kept ignoring her. "Maybe, yeah," David nodded slowly.
"Whatever the case, we need to get to India and meet the others back here," Jason said.
"I can hack into the air port system and get us plane tickets and - "
"That's fine," Space Ship Girl interupted Micah. "I just landed in front of you with my cool possibly alien space ship. But if you want to travel like normal people that's cool. Whatever."
"No offense but we don't exactly know who you are, and in our experience strangers usually want to kill us," Micah said.
"Then we have something in common," Space Ship Girl smirked. "Catriona Stein," she introduced. "And you are?"
The boys exchanged looks. "Don't tell her!" Paige whispered urgently in Micah's ear. "She could be working for Kravid!"
"David Petrelli," David said. He pointed at the other two, "Jason Bennett and Micah Sanders."
"Damn it Petrelli!" Paige shouted. She suddenly turned visible. "You're going to get us all killed!"
"And Paige Sanders," David added, rolling his eyes. "And for the record, she can't be much older than us. How can she possibly get us killed?"
"She has a space ship! She's probably an alien, which means she has alien tech that can probably incinerate us! And she could be working with Kravid! Idiot!"
Catriona shrugged. "Don't know who Kravid is, but I promise I'm perfectly normal - well almost normal - human being. I'm from the future."
"So...this is a time ship?" Micah grinned.
"Yup," Catriona nodded.
"Cool!"
"I was expecting more skepticism."
"You have no idea how weird my life is. This honestly isn't even the craziest thing I've heard all week."
"Ah. Great. So you'll fit in with the Legends just fine...assuming I can get them back that is..."
"So...India?" Jason asked.
Catriona made a dramatic gesture at her time ship. "Hop on board!"
Everyone followed her, Paige flashing her a suspicious glare, making it very clear they were not going to get along very well.
