Our Ice Queen

Chapter 17: The Waterworks

Rogue's P.O.V

This has got to have been the most comedic moment of my life, right next to when Asia and Damián walked in on Donovan and I in the bedroom.

Delsin rushed off the balcony to meet up with this cop, but then he quickly dashed into a vent that was placed on the ground level of my apartment—lands back on my balcony, and sprints through my living room to open the front door.

As soon as he had opened that door in a rushed sense, the cop man was standing right in front him, glaring at him with such an intense and unindulgent look.

Delsin was frozen in place, trying his best to come up with a decent excuse, "Heyy man...it's a little late to be wandering the streets of Seattle by yourself isn't it?"

"I'm a cop." The man reminds him, like if it wasn't already obvious.

"And if you want to talk about late, look at the damned time." He brings up the lock-screen of his device right in front of Delsin's face, before he shoved his hand away, "Okay, I get it. Can you not do this right now-?"

"What, were you planning on staying here the whole night with one of your Seattleites?" That's when the cop-man averted his eyes towards me, and I had intercepted my arms over the other, feeling quite uncomfortable.

His eyes were viewing me attentively, before he exudes a monotoned chuckle from his mouth,
"Ohh I get it. So you wanted to see what kind of women from the corner that Seattle has to offer-?"

Soon as he started to say that, and before I could even react, Delsin had driven his arm against the cop-man's chest—pushing him out into the hallway before he shut the front door of my apartment.

I was appalled, because I didn't think Delsin got ticked off so easily. Something tells me those two have history, and something told me to stay out of it.

Delsin's P.O.V

It didn't take much to piss me off, if you hit the right buttons. And my brother Reggie always hits them on the dot.

Once I had shut the front door to Rogue's apartment, I couldn't help but to give my brother such an inflamed expression on my face—my eyes piqued by anger, "What the hell is wrong with you, Reggie?! One thing is to pop up to my location like I called an Uber, another is disrespecting that woman."

"Disrespecting?" He questions, laughing at me right after, "Disrespecting who? A broad you picked up off the street-?"

"She's not just some fucking broad from the street!"

I roar loudly, tightening the grip between my fists. He had jolted his eyebrows, uprising his eyelids in shock by my attitude.

I sigh, calming myself down. I didn't want to cause any unwanted attention, because I didn't know how crazy Rogue's neighbors were.

"She's..." I was hesitant at first, because if I know Reggie, the thought of me becoming friends with another Conduit is going to make him feel uneasy. But if I'm going to stay true to my word, especially to her, I can care less.

"She's that ice Conduit we saw on that bridge." As his eyes blew wide, I set my ground rules straight almost instantly,
"And she's not at all like how I imagined. She's really experienced the life of a Conduit, she's knowledgeable about Augustine's prison, and she's one hell of a fighter."
