All In A Day's Work

Teen Angel

Delsin smirked as he said "Ladies first," while holding open the hatch. I scoffed and jumped down the hatch, using my ice jets before landing. A quick look around showed a basement full of computers, parts, and other assorted electronic equipment.

"Coming down!" he shouted down and I sidestepped out of Delsin's potential range. He landed seconds later using neon to slow his fall.

"Well he's got to be down here somewhere," he said after a look around "So this is where they make angles. Hello? Anybody home?"

"Then let's find 'em," I told Del as he took the lead through the blue-lit basement. I followed close behind, partially scared something might hop out of the shadows that seemed to crawl everywhere.

We only wandered for a minute until the scenery suddenly changed around the two of us. I saw a place of lava and hellfire, smelling of sulfur. It only took seconds for us to figure out whatever had transported us, had transported us mid air. As we began to fall I latched onto Delsin and cranked up my ice jets. I lowered the two of us onto a floating platform, then released my grip on Del.

"Well shit," He sighed as we both saw the large demon hovering nearby. I was about to say something probably witty but I was quickly teleported back to the basement where the battle between Delsin and the demon took place on computer monitors in front of me.

"Damn it!" I exclaimed, pounding my fist on a nearby wall as I watched the fight. A task chair near the monitor was soon taken up by my butt as I was too afraid to watch to battle. The next few minutes were spent by me spinning the chair around, trying not to look at the fight, until a bright flash of light spewed out Delsin and a hooded figure. Before I could say anything Delsin went to go attack the hooded figure.

"Delsin don't hurt me!" I heard before Delsin grabbed their arm and they both collapsed. I immediately went to them slightly wobbling from the spinning. Once the world settled, I saw Del and another, younger guy. The younger guy turned out to be Eugene, the thick-glassed conduit I helped to get into Seattle. Neither of them looked injured, thanks to conduit super healing. But they were both passed out.

Soon after I finished assessing the situation, they began to stir and groan. Delsin sat up first and Eugene was close behind. But Reggie's voice rang through the basement. I sighed thinking I should get out of here, knowing Reggie didn't like me.

"That's starting to get a little old," Delsin grumbled. As I turned to leave, I ran straight into Reggie. Who ignored me and went to Delsin.

"You sounded like you were in trouble, I came running, you ok?" He asked his brother worriedly as he helped him up.

"I'm fine thanks, man," Delsin said, patting Reggie's shoulder. "Couldn't have done it without you... oh wait I already did," Del told his older brother sarcastically. "Speaking of that, you're not gonna believe what I can do, as so as I figure out what I can do." Delsin was excited as a puppy as Reggie went to pick Eugene up. The poor boy looked scared as hell.

"Good thing we got that kidnapper off the streets," Reggie grunted as he hauled up Eugene and threw him away. Delsin and I went to protect, Del standing up to his brother.

"Whoa, whoa bro, not a kidnapper, he's more like a rescuer," Delsin defended like a proud father.

"Delsin, listen to me, he took suspected conduits right off the street," The older brother sighed "Against their will. That's kidnapping." Reggie went to grab Eugene but Delsin went on the defence again and pulled him back.

"Don't go anywhere," He told Eugene. "First of all, thank you for using the word conduit and second of all, why are you being such a dick?" Del asked. This frustrated Reggie as he started on his next rant.

"Fine, let's just agree to disagree but we both know it's better for everyone if it goes in a cage," Reggie said, making me cringe and back away until I left the room. There was no way I was going to be taken back to a conduit cage again. Then I went to the ladder at the entrance. My name was called out at least once or twice before I left from the way I came.
