A/N: I know I should update my other stories, but having a massive writer's block can be a huge pain! I recently just finished Infamous: Second Son. I must admit that this the first time I play one of the Infamous games, or even heard of it. My boyfriend got me this game as a gift. After beating it, I admit I love it. I'm going to buy the other two games, and play them as well. How did I not heard of this series? Lol Anyways, this story is about my OC. I'm not sure if it's going to be a Eugene/OC(He's cute in his nerdy ways xD) or Delsin/OC. I love both characters, as well as Fetch:) I'll decide as the story progress.

I will admit my grammar and spelling is bad. Don't worry, I am getting better. Criticism is appreciated. I am also on a task of finding a beta reader for this. Enjoy~

Disclaimer: I don't own Infamous or its characters. I only own my OCs.


The Looking Glass

-Chapter 1-

"Don't you just get bored, just being cope up inside this apartment? I would if you ask me."

She look up from her tablet at her best friend, Zoey. This wasn't the first time her friend had ask this, nor would it be the last. She knew her reasons for asking was to get her to say a different answer, but all her responses are the same. In truth, Zoey just wants her to change her mind, and just go against her father's wishes.

"Not really... Why do you ask?" She signed to her. Zoey would sign back time to time, but often prefer to speak instead. She don't mind, because she could understand speech, and hear it. The talking on the other hand, is something she cannot due for awhile. Not after the accident...

"Leah, staying inside for almost 24/7 for about 5 years is not exactly normal for girls our age." Zoey said, she pick up her phone and continue to text whoever was on her contacts. "I get that being home-schooled due to your... appearance is good excuse. Staying inside, and not even going out to have fun is by far the worst parenting ever done. Caleb sure is a good guardian to have."

"He's only looking out for me." Zoey rolled her eyes, obviously not believing what she just said.

"He may be your parents' friend, but he is not your gate-keeper. He can't keep you lock up in a cage and have my father to continue to teach you while the rest of the world moves on. Don't you want to know what's goes on out there?" Zoey asked. She looked away from her, completely irritated by the conversation. Zoey sighs as she continue on. "Look, I get it. I know it's hard to not remember anything before accident, or even during it. I understand Caleb is only looking out for you. Hell, he practically had to start-over from teaching everything to you again. I get he's like a father, but... one day. You're going to have the leave this place. You can't continue to be helpless forever. For fuck sakes you're 20 and you continue to be treated as a child!"

Leah look away from her. She didn't want to say it, but she knew Zoey is right. Zoey is only looking out for her. She is going to have to leave one day, whether Caleb likes it or not. Everything she has done, or been doing now, was for Caleb. He took care of her after what happened with her parents, even though she didn't knew she had parents. Supposedly the accident cause her to lose her memories and go mute due to the intense trauma. All she could remember is waking up in the hospital with no memories of her former life.

There she met Caleb, her parents' long-time friend. He took her in without any hesitation, and taught her even when she was most helpless. She was indeed for about 2 years until she was fully to function without him. He was patient, he taught everything she needed to know, and remember. He was like a father to her... Everything he had done for her... She owe him so much. She understood why Caleb kept her inside, because he feared she would get bullied for her 'appearance', though most would believe it's a new style that is going around. She's also mute, some people her age would sometimes look at her as a freak, and not many people know sign language. So often she would turn to writing notes to those who cannot do sign language.

"Caleb doesn't want me to go out there, because of the Conduits." She signed to Zoey.

"You mean the Bio-terrorist?... I don't even think they exist. It's already been over a week since the D.U.P been here, and I haven't seen one bio-terrorist in Seattle. The D.U.P are probably just made up that story of escape bio-terrorists to just take over this place."

There's a chance they could have. She is not even sure Conduits, or Bio-terrorist, even exist. She never has seen one in person, only on T.V, or what she has been told by Caleb. Though maybe they do exist, maybe. Are they all evil... or are some good?

"I just have a thought." Leah turn to look over at her smiling friend. This can't be good. She could just feel it. "The two old geezers won't be back until later tonight, so... why not we leave?"

"I don't know... Caleb trust me to stay inside. He'll get mad if I leave..."

"Come on! It's for today. I know you want to. You've been dying for this golden opportunity." Zoey said with a smirk.

She would be lying if she said. She has been waiting for this for awhile. Caleb always stood by her side to make sure she stayed inside, or one of his friend will be with me. This past month it was a surprise to see him trust her so much that he even let her stay inside by herself without anyone to watch her. It was his trust he had in her. She don't want to lose it, but... to go out there. There were a few times she adventure out there, but only with Caleb, and she had to wear a lot of clothing to cover herself. It was only a few times, but only to go stores, bookshops, or any shops. Never the park, movies, or any what people do her age. She's 20, and she never had a job in her life. She needs to be more independent. She's tired of being treated like a child.

"Fine... Just today,okay?" Leah signed to her. Zoey start squealing with excitement. Sure Zoey can go out whenever, but she was excited that she, Leah, is going out with her. This will be the first time, and Leah is guessing that is why Zoey is excited. "But we have to get back before 8 ol' clock. I don't want to get in trouble with Caleb."

"Yeah, yeah, sure whatever. Now go get dress, we're going to the park, and I want to introduce you to some of my friends." Zoey pulled her from the couch, and drag across towards her room, pushing her inside.

Friends? Oh boy, she is definitely going to regret this. She's not exactly a social butterfly as Zoey.


"We're just going to the park, and you're dress up like you're going to rob a store."

Leah consciously grab the hood of her sweater to make sure it's in place to hide most of her face away. Though what Zoey did say is true, considering what she is wearing. A dark grey sweater with dark blue denim jeans with worn out sneakers is a normal attire most people wear, plus she had her hood up so that doesn't help. She has to for a very good reason.

"Unlike you, I have to wear these types of clothes." She signed irritably at her. She walk closer next to her, and could feel the anxiety in her rise, but she quickly brush it off when Zoey spoke.

"Oh yeah, I forgot you have scars. You always wear long sleeve shirts and pants that you don't see it."

"That's the idea."

"True. Scars like that would have anyone staring. No wonder you can't remember, getting those ugly scars must hurt like hell."

Leah rub the side of her arm. Truthfully she does not know, and she hates not knowing what happened on that day 5 years ago.

She snap out of her thoughts when she felt Zoey tug on top of her hoodie. She pulled away and held her hood in place. "What are you doing?!" She quickly signed.

"Honestly, if we're going to meet my friends, you're going to have to take this off. You look like you're ready to mob someone, the least you could do is show your face-"

"I am!"

"All of it." She knew that Zoey isn't too happy. There is no point in arguing, because regardless of what Zoey says or do, she is still going to say no. "Seriously, no one will look! Yeah a few, but mostly everyone think it's a style that's going around. They'll believe you dyed it."

"White hair isn't exactly normal..." Leah signed. The white hair was also one of the after effects of the incident. It was also one of the main reasons why Leah stay inside. Sure she tried to dye her hair a few times, but the white hair always comes back. Plus it's not like she can go out, and be social able. She's not a talker, nor exactly the type of person to be around people.

"Well you're taking it off when we get there. Otherwise they're going to-ah shit!"

Zoey stop in her tracks causing Leah to bump into her. She look past the girl's shoulders to see a some type of station settle on the end of the block. There is a line on the side-walk with a scanning device at the end of it. Her grey-blue eyes look over at the a yellow cage near it, a few people inside. Are those-

"Bio-terrorist. That's what that cage is for, but lately those scanners been causing innocent people who are not even bio-terrorist become suspects. They're still throw in the cage." Zoey said as she scoff next. "They think they're helping us, but all they're doing is treating us like prisoners. They're no different than them..."

Leah stare at her friend. It was odd to see her like this.

"We have no choice, but to go through there. I'm sure there's scanners are on almost every block now. Let's go get this over with." Zoey grab her hand, and drag her with her. It didn't help much that she is shaking like it was winter out. "They're not going to talk to you. All you have to do is follow the line and press your hand on the scanner. Hope that it says pass-"

"Hope?!"

"You'll be fine." Zoey patted her back. Easy said then done.

They got in line, but unfortunately it was going in slow pace. Can't this line move any faster? She just wants this to get it done and over with. It doesn't help that she wants to go back home now. Leah took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself done. Her hands and legs are shaking like crazy. Damn her anxiety, with this much people around, she'll be lucky if she could make it without freaking out. She knew she should have stay home. She isn't use to this kind of life.

She pull out her phone, it wasn't one of those high paying ones such as Iphones. It was a simple phone. The one that has a small touch screen and a keypad. Zoey calls it a "ghetto" of the generation. It isn't her fault she is not keeping up with all this technologies.

She began to play Tetris, much to her surprise people begun to gossip around her. It didn't seem to bother Zoey since she was in on it. She tried blocking out their voices, but it was futile with their constant chattering that snaps her out of her concentration. All she could is listen.

"Didja hear about those three escaped Bio-Terrorists from last week?"

"I've heard they caught one of them. The other are in the city."

"Get this, there is another one as well."

"What?! There's three Bio-Terrorists in our city!"

" Nah man, this one is different. This fella been helping us out."

"How?"

"From what I have heard, he's been healing people on the streets, and getting rid of those blasted D.U.P"

"Sshh! Don't let them hear you!"

Conduits... A being with ability to manipulate or weaponize unique form of matter. They have special abilities, and are different than humans. They heal faster at greater rate than them. They could easily kill the human race with just their bare hands if they could. Not all are monsters. There some on the supposed "good" side that are as well. From what she has been told, Augustine, the leader of the D.U.P, has cause nothing, but trouble since she has got here. It was more of dictatorship instead of protection.

'Which side do I stand in this?'

"He even tagged that flag on Space Needle."

"Shut up! Are you serious?"

"Yeah, they call him the 'Banner Man'"

Leah pause for a moment and raise an eyebrow. The Banner Man? That's a little strange to call someone. She tap Zoey's shoulder to get her attention. "Do you think it's safe to even be out here?"

"Yeah. Maybe. Why do you ask?"

"There's supposedly three bio-terrorist roaming around, and it isn't safe to be out here." She signed.

Zoey laugh it off and pat her back in reassurance. "You worry too much." She said as she start to signed back. "We're going to be okay." She wink.

Call her a party-pooper, but she really doesn't want to be out here. Maybe Zoey is right. Maybe they are okay. "If you say so... you're next." Leah points forward.

"Finally! God! It felt like forever! I'll meet you on the other side!"

She would wait for her. She always has, and always stood by her since they first met. She didn't know what drawn Zoey to her. Maybe she was different. Maybe that's what Zoey likes. Or maybe Zoey's father, who use to be a university professor, is her home-school teacher, and also a dear friend of Caleb. Nevertheless, Zoey stuck by her side. Even though there were times where she would question it. She was weird. She was different. She wasn't normal. How can someone like Zoey, who is outgoing, smart, kind, funny want to hang out with her, a freak? She tried asking her, but all the girl did was laugh at her and told her to stop saying stupid things. Maybe she would never know, but she is glad to have her by her side.

Leah just nodded and went back to her phone. It was only 4 ol' clock. They only have four hours until Caleb and Zoey's father gets back. She put her phone away as she watch Zoey pass through after the scanner was complete. She felt uneasy in the pit of her stomach. It ease down a bit when Zoey gave her a thumbs up, behind the other side. She can does this. Put her hand on the scanner and go through. That's it.

'Simple... Just press my hand and it's over... I can do this.'

Leah walk over and stood in front the scanner. "Please place your finger on the scanner." The D.U.P are going to extreme just to capture three Bio-Terrorist. She move her finger over where it is shown on the screen. She watch the screen as it scan her finger. "Processing."

She watch the screen. This didn't seem to hard. Here she was getting too freak out over it-

"WARNING, PRIME CONDUIT DETECTED. LETHAL FORCE IS AUTHORIZED."

-and there it is.

"There's a bio-terrorist here!"

Leah put her hands up as few of the D.U.P soldiers aim their guns at her. She could feel the color leave her face, screams echoing behind her. She didn't know what to do.

"I'm not a bio-terrorist! I'm not a bio-terrorist!" She signed quickly over and over again. Hell she was panicking. Her whole body is shaking like crazy. She's scared.

"What is she doing?"

"She's using-"

"She's doing sign languages idiots! She's not a bio-terrorist! It's some mistake!" Zoey hollered over. She tried to walk over only to be push back by one of the D.U.P by aiming their gun at her.

"Miss, this doesn't concern you. Get a move on. If you continue to interfere we will open fire." He stated.

She knows this is got to be a mistake. She isn't a bio-terrorist. She is human. They don't seem to believe that. They believe whatever their scanners say. She knew she should have stayed home.

"You assholes don't even realize that you're just capturing innocent people!" Zoey took a step forward, causing all the D.U.P to turned on her.

"Lady, this is the last warning! We will open fire-"

The guy didn't finish what he was saying when flying fireball hit him. It look more like smoke to her. It manage to hit him, and a few others hit the rest of the D.U.P as well. It didn't do much damage as they quickly recover and turn towards the direction where it came from.

"It's him! It's the bio-terrorist! Open fire!"

She quickly ran over towards the alley when fires were shot. She didn't think of it. It was if her body acted her own. She hid by wall of the building, taking deep breaths to calm herself down. Just when she's safe, someone grabs her shoulder, and before she screams her mouth was quickly covered.

"Leah! It's me, calm down!" She turned to see it was Zoey. She let her go, and rub her hand. "Ow, you bit the shit out of me."

Leah smile, and quickly hug her. She pull away and points over towards the direction where the fighting is going on. "What's going on?" She signed.

"One of the bio-terrorist is fighting the D.U.P. We need to get out of here."

Zoey grab her hand, and ran down the alleyway. They kept running down the different alleys. Often Leah would look back to see if D.U.P or that Conduit was following them. That was ability a Conduit can do. It seem too surreal for it to happen.

"There she is! Get her!"

Leah look up just in time to see few of D.U.P soldiers jumping on the building, and it looks like they're using a powers like a Conduit. How can a D.U.P be a Conduit? It doesn't matter to her at the moment. They're after her, because they believe she's a Conduit. Her grey-blue eyes widen as she watch concrete or rock form on their hands, gathering a huge chunk of it.

She pulled her hand out of Zoey's. "Leah, what are you-" She push her forward in time, before the chunk of concrete could hit them, causing a blockage in the alley between them. "Leah! Are you alright! I'll go get help!"

Help?! Help from who-

"There's nowhere to run!" Leah turn around to see the D.U.P aim their guns at her. She quickly back up to have her back press up against the blockage. This is it. She's going to die. 'Caleb... I'm sorry.'

She cover her eyes, waiting for the moment to come. She flinch as she heard gun shots, and grunts here or there as something hit the ground hard. Is this what it feels? She can't feel anything.

"So the D.U.P can't even treat a nice girl to dinner without trying to get into her pants first by cornering her in alleyway. And to think you're supposed to protect them."

Who is that? That voice doesn't sound familiar or to any she know of.

"Ah. Hello? Are you going to keep closing your eyes forever? I just saved your life, you're welcome by the way, from these assholes."

She open her eyes to see a young man about few years older than her. He was tall with tan skin even though her skin is pale white due to her staying inside. He's taller than her for sure, considering she's only 5'7. He wore jeans with a black hoodie covering a plaid-red shirt. The hoodie itself was covered by a denim vest with several pins scattered across it, like a collection he has going. On one arm he wore a wrapped up metal chain while the other was covered with markings of a tattoo. He has jet-black hair. It was mostly covered by a red beanie on his head. She won't denied it, he look cute.

She look over to see the D.U.P knocked down unconscious with strange smoking aura covering them, as if it was a rope tied around them to hold them in place. It could only mean one thing. He's a Conduit.

Leah look up to meet the guy's gaze who was continuing to watch her. She felt a little uncomfortable, plus he is also a Conduit. She shouldn't trust him, but he did saved her life. She could trust him a little.

"Why did you help me?" She signed to him. He stare at her in confusion. "Can you understand me?" She did it again, and he continue to look bewildered.

"... I don't know what you're doing with that hand thingy over there. I'm going to assume you can't speak, right?" He said as he points over to her. That's one way to put at it. Leah nodded to his question. "Do you know why these guys after-and you can't speak. Right... ummm... think.. Ah! Did they think you're a Conduit?"

She nodded. She didn't like how he ask the question. He had to speak it slowly like she was deaf and slow to understand him. First off, why she is even answering him. She shouldn't talk to him, he's a conduit.

"Heh, don't everyone think so." He said with a laugh. "Let me guess, you failed the scanner and you're not a Conduit. Right?"

She nodded again.

"Great. Here I thought I found another Conduit to steal their power. Name's Delsin Rowe." He said as he look at her. "Right... You can't talk. Well this been fun, but I got to go-" Leah step forward and shook her head much to Delsin's surprise. He gave her one of his cocky smiles. "Ah! So you want me to stay. You should have just ask. I'll do anything for a pretty girls such as yourself."

She has no idea what he's talking about. She just needs his help to find Zoey. She said she went off to get help, but there is no way she could help from anyone. She has to be around here, or back a her place. Either way she needs to see if Zoey is okay. It doesn't help that Leah don't know where to go back home. She don't remember the directions, and plus she's on the part of Seattle she never has been before.

Sure this guy is a Conduit, but he saved her life. She could trust him to help her again... can she? It's not like she has a choice. What if another one of those D.U.P attack her again before she even make it back home. Plus she is nervous talking to him, not really, considering she has social problems, but she has to suck it up in order to get out of here and get his help.

"I need your help. I'm looking for my friend Zoey, and I think I know where she is, but I don't know how to get there." She signed without realizing he can't understand it.

"Yeah, I still can't understand that. Well I got time to kill for a few minutes. We're going to get yourself a piece of paper and pen so you can tell me what the hell you're saying. Telepathy so could come in handy right now." He said as he turns around. "C'mon mute girl. There's a shop near by."

Seeing this as the cue, Leah follow him soon after, wondering if she's doing the right thing. Can I trust him? She has no choice considering her only guide is gone. So yes, she has to trust him. 'Leah Spears... What have you gotten yourself into? Caleb is going to kill you once he finds out you've been gone.'


A/N: Yeah, the beginning is bad. I'm not good at writing the first chapter xD It will get better overtime. I'm sorry if Delsin is OOC. I try my best to not let any of characters be OOC. You will know more about Leah's past and how she lost her memories. Caleb will appear in the next chapter as well as Reggie. Also yes, Leah is still wearing the hood. Delsin didn't see all of her hair yet:P
