Dave Torres

Costa Verde, CA.

'Damn it I'm going to be late for school' thought Dave as he tried to hurry down the block. He came to a halt and looked around. "No one's around" he said to himself and with that he zoomed off at supersonic speed.

Dave was your average teenager if you took away the super speed powers. He had never believed his powers to be a curse. In fact he maybe over used them in some cases but that was rare. Today he wore an element t-shirt with a pair of jean shorts. His brown hair came down to his eyebrows which was a first since he usually kept it cut.

Now Dave was approaching the school when he saw a beautiful blonde headed girl running towards the school. Then he saw a car heading towards her. Acting instictivly he ran so fast time itself seemed to slow down. Grabbing the beautiful blonde he fell to the side walk in an awkward position.

"Are you two alright?" asked the teen driver.

"Yea we're fine" said the blonde.

"Well unless you have a death wish watch out" he said before heading off to park.

"Um...thanks" said the blonde as she got up with the help of Dave.

"No problem..." "Claire, my names Claire" said Claire.

"Hi, Claire, I'm Dave and you should be a little more careful" said Dave as they headed in.

"First day jitters I guess" replied Claire.

"Don't worry there's nothing to be scared of in this school, unless you count the cheerleading squad. In which every member has either a boob job or some sort of plastic surgery" said Dave getting a laugh out of Claire.

"Hey, I used to be a cheerleader" said Claire somewhat defensively.

"You don't seem the type" said Dave.

"Yea well what I can't figure is how you came from nowhere" said Claire with a questioning look.

"Everyone has their secrets" said Dave as they entered the class for the final bell.

"Hut!" Dave was handed the ball as they played a scrimmage for P.E. class. He grabbed the hand off and was tackled after a few yards.

"Is that all you got, Torres?" asked one of the other kids as Dave got up.

"Alright, come on huddle up. Dave we're gonna run it again they won't expect it" said the QB.

They lined up again and Dave was handed the football. Again the linebacker came towards him, but this time he used his edge, ducking under his arm he had a clear break for the touchdown. While the team cheered he noticed Claire on the bench grabbing some water.

"Hey stranger" he greeted.

"Hi, that was a nice touchdown" complimented Claire.

"Thanks" said Dave as he grabbed a water. "Why don't you go join the cheerleading squad?"

"What after you made such a great image of them?" joked Claire.

"Haha, Well you said you were on the a team" said Dave.

"Exactly, were meaning in the past, volleyball's my new thing" she explained.

"Really, well you'd look good doing anything" said Dave making Claire blush. "Anyway I'd better get back to the game or Coach Teal will flip. See you after school?"

"Defiantly" said Claire.

Claire looked in the direction of the cheerleading team and was somewhat sadden. Cheerleading had been a major part of her life before everything drastically changed. Now that she thought of it, the change really started when Peter showed up at her school. That sent her on a journey that would change her forever. Pushing Peter out of her thoughts for now she headed back to the game.

"Hey you" called a voice from behind Claire as she was at her locker.

Claire turned to see it was the driver of the car she almost hit. "Um hi"

"You know you should be more careful" he said. "Stepping in front of cars isn't exactly safe."

"Uh, yea sorry about that" said Claire brushing hair out of her face.

"It's okay it made my day interesting" said the teen. "I'm-"

"Wes, what's up man?" asked Dave as he came up to Claire's locker.

"Dave" said Wes not as enthusiastically.

"Not trying to kill Claire here again are you?" joked Dave.

"Well you'd be able to save her with your amazing speed wouldn't you" shot Wes. Dave gave Wes a glare as he smirked back.

"Claire you ready to go?" asked Dave.

"Yea" said Claire happy to escape the tension between the two boys. "SO what's up between you two?" asked Claire as they walked away.

"Nothing, I've known Wes for awhile and we just don't see eye to eye on some things" replied Dave.

"If you say so" said Claire. She didn't know what it was but something about this guy was different. What ever it was she's find out soon.

Wes flew into his bedroom window after going to Claire's house.

"Wow, spying on the new girl, that's a new one" said Dave from a chair in his room. "You're mom let me in."

"What do you want?" asked Wes calmly.

"I could ask you the same thing, you always tell me to use my powers for a purpose, and here you are flying to get a peep at Claire" said Dave standing up. "What do you want with her?"

"Listen, Dave, I think she's one of us" said Wes.

"You mean she has powers?"

"Yea I'm not sure how I know but I can just tell" continued Wes. "If I can get her to admit it we can have another ally."

"So let's say you're right and she admits it, what's going to happen?" challenged Dave. "I don't mind the casual save a citizen but you sound like you wanna start a justice league or something. This is the real world Wes, people wont just take us in like some heroes"

"We'll never see eye to eye on this Dave" replied Wes. "And what's your intrest in Claire?"

"She's hot" said Dave. "I'll see you tomorrow, Wes" With that Dave exited his room and house before zooming home.

Meanwhile...

"Where am I" asked Peter Petrelli as he walked around.

He was surrounded by nothing but a white landscape. "Who am I?" Everything he ever knew he could not remember. His powers, name, family, the events that had occurred over the past year, were all a blank sheet to him. Suddenly voices began to fill his head and their was a flash of light.
