Who: Rush, Serah, Lightning
What: Arriving in the future
Where: Aerith's Church
When: 6 P.M.
Rating: PG

The streets of the slums appeared peaceful at this time, unlike the rest of the city above. It was a quiet night for the citizens, with no monsters or soldiers claiming any turf as their own. Yet within the Church belonging to a certain flowergirl, lights had ignited within, gusts flowing through the windows. With no one around, no one could see the spectacular flashing from within.

Inside of the old church, a circle appeared above the pool of healing water, searing the room with a blinding flash. Lights dying down, a man fell from the sky, splashing in the mini-lake below, water splashing up and falling back down where it came.

After a few seconds, the young man shot back up, coughing as the water filled his lungs. Constantly, he gasped for air, holding onto his chest, his body still aching from the fall. His eyes were closed, eyes still in shock from the pain that had burned into them. Never had he been so blind, and moving in the water did not help too much; it was going to take a bit for the healing effects to finally kick in.

But there was one thing Rush knew: he knew he was alive!

"Irina!" he shouted, trying to find something to grab. "Emmy! David!? Where are you!?"

Rush blinked. He had not even noticed it, even as she said it. Before he could protest, she had already finish her actions and tended to the wound. Perhaps it had been created during his fall back to the land of the living.

He rubbed the bandage, still blinking and confused. Nevertheless, he nods while giving a slightly nervous smile. Being ungrateful towards the girl was not the smartest thing to do in this situation, especially if she had a sister. Based on his experience with women, if there was a nice sister, there was bound to be one that was strict too, the one you never wish to piss off.

"Yeah, I am..." he answered. Looks like he had to dig up some more info before deciding what else to do. This was some challenge alright. Putting those thoughts aside for the moment, he reached out and shook Serah's hand while giving a far less tense smile. "Anyway, the name's Rush Sykes. It's good to meet ya, Serah."

The young man by the name of Rush took her outstretched hand and shook it firmly. "A pleasure to meet you Rush." Serah said with a smile.

At least it was good to know she wasn't the only one who wasn't from this world at all. At least she wasn't really alone and lost here now that this Rush guy was here with her.

Serah took a little look around the old run down church that they were in. Apart from the tiny field of flowers that seemed to grow with vibrancy and abundance despite the tattered state of this church.

Night was falling and Serah and Rush needed to find a place to stay for the night until Lightning could come and help them out. Hopefully.

"It's getting dark soon." Serah said worriedly as she looked up at the sky. "We have to find a place to stay for the night. "

Rush nodded, taking notice of the dark skies as well. It was cold, dark, and possibly dangerous to be here, despite this being a place made for peace and prayer. He shivered, his armor and the clothes underneath freezing his body with each passing second. Teeth-chattering, he rose to his feet.

"Yeah...A-a-and prefer-fer-ferabley somepla-la-lace warm!" he managed to chatter out.

Serah then heard a clap of thunder and screamed as she squatted down and covered her ears with her hands.

They sure needed to get out of there fast or else the storm that was brewing might just catch up with them.

A louder clap of thunder sounded through the darkening skies and it was soon followed by a strong gust of wind and then finally...

Rain.

Serah cringed in fear as she grabbed onto Rush''s arm.

Lightning had never been enough to give Rush a scare, unless it was being shot at him, which would do the trick to get the same reaction Serah had given. The rain that followed...was enough for Rush to groan in annoyance. Rain was not the problem, save for the fact he was already cold, and this wasn't helping their situation.

Looking to the side, he saw Serah holding onto him like a frightened child. He raised an eyebrow rather than blush; she reminded him of Irina. Turning to face her fully, he grabbed Serah by her arm gently, trying to ease her fears. "Come on then. We gotta get outta here."

Serah looked up at Rush with her pale blue eyes and nodded. Holding on tightly to his hand she ran out of the church with him.

As Serah ran with Rush, the rain just continued pouring down. Her clothes soon became soaking wet from the rain but Serah didn't really car much. She just needed to find a place for Rush and her to stay in for the night.
