InFAMOUS Second Son - Your Snowflake

Chapter 2

Bella's P.O.V.

Dashing past the man, I made my way into a nearby alleyway, leaving behind a very confused and shocked bio-terrorist.

Delsin's P.O.V.

'....the hell?' I had no idea what had just happened. Okay, well I knew what happened but it took me a little while to figure out why. I mean, one second I'm just being the studly super badass that I am and the next I have some chick with powers freaking out. Wait, powers. Huh, that's strange....I don't feel like I gained anything when I touched her and-WAITDIDSHEJUSTRUNAWAY?!AWWWSHIT! Before I even realized it, my legs started to move and I began to run after her. "HEY LADY! WAIT!" Damn it, why do they always run?

Back to Bella's P.O.V.

Panting, I kept running through the various alleyways to escape from the stranger who was without a doubt chasing me by now. 'This is not good! How the hell did he know that I was a conduit? And how did he get past the guards? And what was he even doing breaking into a D.U.P. suspect pin in the first place?' Countless of questions raced through my mind as I tried to get as far away as possible. Just as I was turning a corner into another alleyway someone grabbed my wrists and slammed me into a wall. 'No!'
"Jeez lady, you're a real pain in the ass to catch up to. You know that?" The man from before held me in place despite my struggle. His eyes held a predatory gaze with a slight hint of annoyance from his prey being more than a bit difficult.

His intense stare made me more uncomfortable about the situation. Here I was in a dark, abandoned alley where some stranger had me pinned to a wall while he looked me over with a cold gaze. Nothing about this set-up would exactly calm a girl down so I did the only rational thing that I could think of....
"Look, I'm not gonna hurt you. I just want t-"
....I kneed him in the groin. Almost instantly I was released from the man's grip as he doubled over on the ground, muttering a 'fuck' and a quick 'who does that when they're a god damn conduit.' Not being one for sticking around after assaulting a man in the balls, I resumed my running. Faster than before (and with a bit more confidence. I mean, let's be honest. That WAS a pretty good hit I got in. *mentally high-fives self*), I navigated my way through the various passageways that made up the city. After a few turns and dodging of civilians, a friendly sight made its way into view. A smile formed on my lips. 'Home.' It was so close that for a split second I became distracted and ended up running into someone.

Looking up I immediately recognized the man as a cop. I mean, it wasn't that hard. His whole air seemed to say "noble officer of the law." That...and his jacket read 'SALMON BAY COUNTY SHERIFF.' 'Nice job Sherlock, now let's get going before that creep catches you and does only god-knows-what to you!'
"Whoa. Excuse me, are you okay ma'am?" The sheriff asked upon seeing my worried expression. He looked genuinely concerned for me and seemed trustworthy enough but if I've learned anything it's that it's best to NOT get others involved in things when you were a conduit. He held me at an arm's length, looking into my eyes for any sign that said that I needed help. I looked away and mumbled a quick 'yes' and 'sorry' but before I could leave an all too familiar voice sounded through the streets.

Stumbling out of an alley a few feet away was my pursuer, who by the looks of it was somewhat struggling to catch up to me due to his recent "injury."

"Reggie! Reggie, hold her! She's a conduit! Don't let her get away!"

Once again I find myself in a strong grip, captured for what was the third time that day. 'Brilliant Bella, just brilliant. Hey, I think you went past a couple of drug dealers on the way here. Do you wanna go back, maybe get captured by them too?' I let out a defeated sigh. This was turning out to be a very long day.
