New tricks

"Sorry! Fetch said you needed to get picked up," A person said. I turned around to see Delsin, who was holding out a had for me to take. Using one leg, I took his hand and pulled myself up. Before I could thank him, Delsin swept me up into his arms.

"You know you don't have to fall off a building to get my attention," He chuckled.

"You wish," I mumbled, crossing my arms across my chest.

"Aw come on don't be a grump, or I'm gonna have to put you down and you'll have to hobbled home," He joked, making me sigh loudly. Then I uncrossed my arms and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Alright, down you go," Delsin said after not hearing a verbal acknowledgement and began to tip me down.

"No, no! I'll be less grumpy!" I exclaimed as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Delsin began to chuckle as he brought me up, jostling my leg. A groan of pain escaped because of the movement.

"Oh geez, sorry I forgot about you leg for a sec," He apologized.

"It's alright, it will probably be fine in a little while because conduit fast healing," I told him as he started walking.

"Yeah, reminds me of earlier when I got shot in the chest a few times but it healed in seconds and when I got back up the look on the guy who shot me's face was priceless. After that I absorbed some smoke and I felt better," He said with a smile.

"Maybe to fix my leg I need to absorb some water," I wondered. 

"Most likely, well to the harbor we go!" Delsin said excitedly, going into a neon dash. I held onto him tighter as we sped through the streets of Seattle, not wanting to fall.

"Don't worry shrimp, I got you," He told me, noticing that I tighten my grip on him. He kept dashing until we reached the harbor. We were at the railing that was the border between the city and the bay.

"Here we are," Delsin said as he started to let me down. Though I kept my arms around his neck, I ended up dangling almost a foot above the ground. 

"Haha you're so tiny," He laughed now hugging me.

"Well that's what happens when you're five foot even," I mumbled, letting go of his neck. After sighing he lowered me onto the railing and let go of me, stepping back. I stuck my hand out toward the water, willing the water to come to me. It went through the air and to me extended arm, enveloping me in a blue glow.

"Oh ho ho mmm, this is so much better," I mumbled, stretching my arms. Then I hopped of the railing and to test my leg. 

"Better?" Delsin asked, seeing on my feet.

"Oh hell yes," I said with a wide smile. I walked over to him, only to trip on a raised but of sidewalk. He caught me by my arm but before anything could be said, a blue glow surrounded us. It made me pass out and relive my boring life. 

I woke up minutes later and groaned at the pain throbbing in my head. The rest of my body seemed to be alright as  was laying on something kinda squishy. When I opened my eyes I saw I was laying on Delsin, who had a smirk on his face. 

"Hey," He said to me as I got up and put my head in my hands.

"Was that you going through my head?" I asked rubbing my head.

"Uh yeah sorry, that's how I get other people's powers," He said sheepishly. 

"So you have my powers now?" I asked, feeling the throb lessen.

"Yep, and I can't use smoke or neon until I learn how to use water," He explained as he stood up. I let my hair fall around my face so I could toss it into a bun.
