All In A Day's Work

I'm not invited to the Drug Bust?

I reached our hideout not too long after I left Delsin. And no surprise Fetch was on the couch.

"Hey," I breathed. 

"Ivy! I was worried on where you were!" She exclaimed.

"I got caught by the DUP and was placed in once of those conduit cages with a set of clunky handcuffs," I told her be-lineing it to where I left my phone.

"How'd you escape?" She asked.

"Uh well this guy helped me get out, um Delsin, yeah he said he knew you and also he had your neon power, what's up with that?" I asked as I saw a smile on her face.

"Oh Delsin! He's a conduit-"

"Duh!"

"Shhh, his power is to absorb other conduit's power's," Fetch explained.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh," I let out.

"Yeah I met him while you were out,"She told me, the smile still on her face.

"You like him?" I wondered.

"Eh he's hot but not really my type, how about you shrimp?" She retorted, poking my side.

"Hmmmmm he's cute and my type,  I like him," I mumbled but I knew could definitely here me because now she was smirking. So I looked at my fully charged phone.

"Are you blushing?" She asked pushing my phone out of the way so she could she my face fully.

"Wha, no, I'm not blushing!" I whined, turning away from her.

"You're like a tomato, haha shrimpie's got a crush," She teased.

"Okay, okay but I met him like 10 minutes ago, so nothing is really going to happen," I told her.

"Alright Ivy, by the way how are you powers working," She asked, gladly changing the subject.

"Well the frozen tsunami worked awesomely, so they are developing nicely," I said leaving out the part where the DUP soldier knocked me out.

"That's cool, just remember situational awareness while fighting," She advised. I sighed and then nodded my head.

"So how's you meet Delsin?" I asked pulling my feet up so I was sitting cross legged. Fetch proceeded to tell me the long version of how it happened and them becoming friends. She says he offered to help with her drug dealer vice.

"Whoa that's a bit crazy," I said after listening to her story. Fetch nodded but then yawned widely, which made me yawn as well.

"It was, I'm gonna hit the hay, today was draining, night," She told me as she got comfortable on the couch. 

"Cool, I'll see you in the morning Fetch," I returned. Then I got up from the couch and walked over to the mattress we put in the corner. I half fell onto it in tiredness, falling asleep quicker than I though I could. Soon dreams of a neon boy filled my head as I recharged my body.

When I woke up Fetch wasn't there but a note on the wall was. It said that her and Delsin were going to take care some drug supplier in the area. I blew a raspberry, slightly mad and a little sad Fetch didn't wake me up. My phone sat next to my face so I picked it up and called her.

"Fetch why didn't you invite me to the drug bust?" I whined as soon as she picked up.

"Because you were in the cage yesterday?" She told me uncertainly. 

"Bullshit, I'm fine," I told her.

"Well we didn't hook up if you were worried about that," She joked. I pressed my lips in a line and didn't respond.

"You haven't hooked up with anyone have you?" She jokingly asked.

"N-no," I mumbled. Then I heard some crinkling noises coming from the other end of the phone.

"Hi shrimp!" A different voice said from Fetch's end and then crinkling noises again.

"That was Delsin," Fetch said.

"Thought so, tell him I said hi," I told her. She sighed and conveyed my message.

"So what time are you coming back," I asked, sounding a bit like a mom.

"Soonish and I'll bring breakfast," She informed me.

"You're a mind reader, my stomach will thank  you," I said gratefully. After that we said good bye and I hung up. Then I changed into a large hoodie, athletic shorts and my long socks that came up past my knees. Once I changed, I jumped onto the couch and then stretched out as I waited for Fetch to come back.

When she did come back, she arrived with two plastic bags and another, much taller person named Delsin.

"I bring the gift of food," Fetch announced, lifting the bags above her head. I popped up on the couch, making me the tallest person in the room.

"Shrimp!" Delsin said giving me his trademark smirk.

"Hey Delsin," I said smiling, and ignoring Fetch's suggestive looks. She put the food on the table we had and I used my snow dash to get the food, leaving bits of snow as my trail.

"Ivy, the floor's gonna get wet now," Fetch whined.

"Well the food's not and I'm hungry, at least I didn't use my ice dash," I told her as I stuck my tongue out. Then I dug through the plastic bags Fetch pushed my way to finding three packs of pancake bites. I stuffed them in my pouch and them gave Fetch a hug.

"You know you're the best, right?" I told her after letting go. Delsin started laughing when I let go.

"What?" Fetch questioned, giving him a weird look.

"She's just so short, she barely comes up to your shoulders," He chuckled.

"Well we all can't be 6' 5" " I remarked, pouting.

"I'm six foot three thank you very much," He quipped. I rolled my eyes and sat in the chair near the door to eat my pancakes. The first pack was gone within seconds as Delsin and Fetch talked. After finishing the second pack, I basketball tossed the two empty wrappers in the trash bag. Hell yeah, made it!

"Did yo-" I turned to Fetch and Delsin about to ask if they saw that I made it in but I saw them kissing. Dammit, I though she didn't like him like that, why would she lie. I sighed softly, really disappointed and slid on my shoes. Then I slunk out the front door, slamming the door on my way out. 

It was still early morning as I dashed through the streets and up to a building. But idiot me forgot to tie her shoes, and tripped over them while running up the side of a freaking building! I fell back and was unable to catch myself as I fell to the sidewalk, landing on my right leg first. A sharp crack sounded as I made an impact and I cried out in pain.

"I defintly broke my leg," I mumbled to myself before hearing my phone ring. The caller id showed it was Fetch.

"What?" I asked frustrated with her, feelings and my damn leg.

"Where the hell are you?" She asked me. 

"Outside," I told her, trying not to yell from the pain.

"Why did you leave?" She asked exasperated.

"I saw you kissing Delsin and I was pissed and upset. You told me you didn't like him like that, why would you lie to me like that?" I asked quietly.

"I don't like him like that Ivy, he was trying to make you jealous, he apologized to me and explained," Fetch sighed. I laughed, I'm so stupid. Jesus.

"So are you okay?" She asked after I didn't respond.

"Not really, I uh for got to tie my shoes and tripped going up the side of a building. I um broke my leg," I sighed laying back. She sighed loudly and groaned.

"Okay, sit tight, I'll send Delsin to get you because I don't think I could lift you up," She told me. Before I hung up I told where I was and I said sorry quietly.

After talking with Fetch I felt really stupid, letting my emotions get the best of me. I guess I really do like Delsin. 

A tap on the shoulder broke me out of my thoughts but also make me yell " Holy shit!" in surprise.
