Delsin Rowe. The man who saved Seattle and freed the subjugated Conduits from Curdan Cay Penitentiary, a prison camp for Conduits who the D.U.P. and their director, Brooke Augustine, named Bio-Terrorists. Over the span of a month, Delsin Rowe had discovered he was a Conduit of incredible and unique power, had seen his tribe, his family, be hurt by Brooke Augustine herself, went to Seattle to confront Augustine and try and get her to heal their tribe, outed the D.U.P. from Seattle, absorbed the power from three other Conduits, Hank Daughtry, Abigail Walker, and Eugene Sims, lost his brother, defeated Augustine by absorbing her own power and revealing what she's done to their kind, Conduits, and to Seattle to the world and freed Seattle from D.U.P. occupation.

Delsin had returned to Seattle after healing his tribe to help the Seattle Police in tracking down the deranged Conduit named Celia Penderghast. She was the first Conduit apprehended by Augustine and was trained to be Augustine's assassin to make the public think Conduits were all evil and needed to be locked away in Curdan Cay Penitentiary. She claimed to Delsin that it was to save Conduits from hateful people who blamed Conduits for the trail of bodies stretching from Empire City to New Marais thanks to the ultimate Conduit, a being known as the Beast, 7 years prior. The Beast had been stopped by the First Conduit. A man with power over lightning, Cole MacGrath, and despite his efforts, Conduits were still blamed for the actions of one person.

"Yo, D," said Abigail 'Fetch' Walker over the phone. "You told me she was fast, but I didn't think she was this fast!"

"She uses the wind to move around! Her paper ability allows her to be as light as a feather and move with the wind, but it also makes her path unpredictable because of it!"

"Dammit, I lost her!"

"Eugene, see anything?!"

"Yeah," said another voice on the line. "She's near the Lantern District, next to a lot of video monitors!"

"Can you trap her like you did me?! Stall her long enough for me and Fetch to catch her?!"

"I think so! One Heaven's Hellfire trap, coming up! You two better get to the location I sent you fast, she's already starting to damage me!"

"On our way, Geek," said Fetch. Delsin spotted a trail of pink neon heading toward the Lantern District and grinned, switching to the same power and following her.

"I'm on your tail, Fetch!"

"Enjoying the view, Babe?!"

"Can you two please stop flirting," said Eugene. "Geez, all week with you two since you started dating!"

"Sorry, Eugene," said Delsin. "Have you contacted the police?"

"Yeah, they'll move in as soon as they see your banner!"

"God, I'm gonna hurt whoever came up with Banner Man."

"Let it go, D," said Fetch. "It's just a name."

"Yeah, a lame one." Delsin switched to video and launched into the air once they got to the Lantern District and flew to the coordinates Eugene gave them. Delsin landed just as Fetch arrived.

"No fair using Eugene's power to beat me here!"

"All's fair in love and war, Fetch," said Delsin as he kissed her.

"Guys," said Eugene, struggling to keep Celia contained. "Little help here?!"

"Sure thing, Geek," said Fetch. She charged up her neon as Delsin found a car and blasted it till it started smoking. He absorbed the smoke and went to the video screen Eugene was standing in front of.

"Alright, let her go. Fetch, get ready to run, I'm gonna smoke bomb her as soon as she gets out."

"Sure thing, Babe."

"Dropping the trap," exclaimed Eugene. Instantly, a trail of paper launched from the video screen and right into Delsin, tackling him down and disrupting his smoke bomb. A blast of paper sent Eugene and Fetch flying as Celia sat on top of the Banner Man.

"Ow," groaned Delsin.

"Hello Delsin."

"Celia. Always a pleasure."

"Why are you doing this to me?"

"You can't keep killing people!"

"Our people deserve to be free! And people only respond to force!"

"Look at everything I've done! The only times I've killed were when I didn't have a choice! Other than that, I have been merciful and captured the D.U.P. soldiers, undercover agents and the criminals of this city! You need to stop!"

"Why should I? I'm just doing what you inspired me to do."

"If my actions inspired you to become the monster Augustine branded our kind as, then I'm sorry. And I'm sorry for this." Delsin grabbed her hand and absorbed her power. "Fetch, trap her when she's out!" As Delsin took her powers, he also got a glimpse of her memories, something he'd seen once before with the paper doves she left all over the place. This time, instead of learning her story, Delsin learned her power. He learned how do every trick in her arsenal. When he let go, Fetch moved quickly and wrapped Celia in neon restraints. Delsin groaned as he gripped his head.

"You alright, Babe," asked Fetch.

"Ever had a monster migraine?"

"Once in a while."

"This is like that." He held out his hand and flattened it to the size of paper. "God this feels weird."

"Well your hand is as flat as paper," said Eugene. "So, there's that." Eugene remembered something as Delsin absorbed smoke from the car again and dug into his pocket. "Oh yeah, one of my angels went deep sea diving earlier." He pulled out something from his pocket. "When we recovered Reggie's body, you said this wasn't with him." Eugene held out a sheriff's badge to his best friend. "I didn't stop till we found it." Delsin took it and held it in his hand, smiling sadly.

"Eugene… Thanks, man. This means a lot."

"Don't mention it." Delsin Smoke Dashed into a vent and up onto a roof before raising a flag with his personal tag, two hands cradling a blue city, into the air to signal the police. Almost immediately, a few police cars rushed over and surrounded Celia. Even though she was restrained, she was still no less dangerous. Delsin looked at one of the officers.

"Hey, be careful with her. Her powers allow her to flatten herself to the size of a piece of paper and slip through cracks. She can move faster than most when she rides on the wind, and when she shoots her paper out, it's sharp enough to cut through stone."

"Thanks for the heads up, Rowe. And again, sorry about your brother. He was a good man."

"I know. Thanks, officer." The policemen made sure Celia stayed in the neon restraints as they put her in a patrol car. Delsin watched as they drove off as Eugene looked at him.

"I thought you needed to drain some Blast Cores in order to learn everything about your powers."

"Actually, I don't think they did anything other than give me a quick charge and unlock the knowledge of how to use the powers I get from other Conduits. It's why my powers were most likely locked when I absorbed yours. I'd learned your history, and the knowledge of your powers was put in the back of my mind."

"And I take it this time, because she'd already shared her memories, you were able to focus more on the abilities?"

"Seems like it."

"Can we stop all this talk about powers, already," asked Fetch. "I'm hungry, and you promised you'd buy me dinner!"

"I know. You wanna come, Eugene?"

"Not really feeling like being a third wheel. Besides, I've got a date."

"A date with Heaven's Hellfire doesn't count," said Fetch.

"For your information, Abi, I met a girl."

"…Online, or," said Delsin.

"IRL, thank you very much. She said she likes heroes, and I just happened to be one of the three heroes who took down Augustine, so…"

"Way to go, Eugene!" Delsin gave the gamer a high five and grinned.

"Well, I hope you have a good date then, Geek," said Fetch as she hugged Delsin's arm. "I know we will."

"You know, provided he doesn't have to hunt down a," started Eugene just as his cellphone's crime tracker started up.

"…Possible Conduit activity in the Rainier District. Reports of strange lights and sounds coming from the D.U.P. Command Platform." Fetch smacked Eugene upside the head.

"Jinx!"

"Sorry."

"Don't worry about it," said Delsin. Giving Fetch a quick kiss, he switched to neon and sped off for the concrete platform. When he got there, he spotted a strange sight. "Uh, guys. Do we know of a Conduit power that can open floating holes?"

"Floating holes," asked Fetch. "D, you been inhaling the stuff we destroy in our drug busts?"

"I'm not high, Fetch. At least I don't think I am." Hearing something coming from the hole Delsin got closer. "Hold on, it sounds like there's something in there."

"Don't get to close, Delsin," warned Eugene. "It might be a rift between worlds."

"Yeah, and I'm Augustine. Come on, Eugene. This isn't a videogame."

"No, but you can never be too safe, Delsin."

"Yeah, yeah. Hey guys," said Delsin as he looked into the hole. "I think I see something. Wait a minute, is that Cole MacGrath?" Delsin didn't hear if his best friend or girlfriend responded as he was instantly pulled into the hole.

Delsin fell, and as he fell, he found himself moving passed image after image, some of them he recognized, him standing over a defeated Augustine, him meeting Eugene, Fetch and Hank. Some he didn't recognize before. Fetch and her brother looking for their dealer, a man in a yellow jacket facing down the Infamous Beast that ravaged the East Coast for a month. The same man, who he now knew was Cole MacGrath, facing what appeared to be an older version of him in the Blast Crater in Empire City. Soon, Delsin was face to face with the same man.

"Nice to meet you, Delsin Rowe."

"Who are you?"

"In your world, I'm known as Kessler. The man who destroyed part of Empire City, in the world I'm originally from, I was known as Cole MacGrath.

"Wait, you're Cole MacGrath?"

"In another life, yes. And somehow, you've stumbled into the same rift I created in my own timeline that somehow bled into yours."

"Wait, your timeline?"

"I used my power to do a single trip through time. In my world, the Beast led a war that ravaged the global population. Humans and Conduits fighting one another instead of living in harmony. My family was caught in the middle. My wife and best friend were human, and I was Conduit. We didn't pick sides and were targeted. My best friend, Zeke Dunbar, and wife, Trish, were threatened and I stood up against the Beast, but I couldn't stop him. You're world is the way it is because of my interference."

"And somehow, you created a rift through time that bled into my timeline?"

"Not just time, space as well. I'm afraid you're about to be taken into another world."

"What?!"

"Calm down and listen. The rift is pulling you into another world. One that needs someone to help it and its people. But as you are, you can't do anything. The technology is different than ours. No video, no neon."

"Oh great, so I'm down two powers, well that's great."

"Considering the gravity of the situation, I opened another rift temporarily, one linked to your version of me."

"You want me to take Cole MacGrath's powers?"

"And the powers of his friend, Lucy Kuo. Both will help you." Kessler opened two small rifts each focused on a wrist, one a man's the other a woman's. "Do it now, quickly!" Delsin grabbed both of their wrists and ignored the history of both people, focusing on the powers they had. When he let go, he groaned.

"Crap. Three powers in one day, not good."

"Good luck Delsin, and don't worry. You'll be able to get back home once you've mastered Cole's ability. And be careful, the weapons of this world are… unique, and certainly more powerful than the conventional weapons of our worlds."

Delsin screamed as he fell from the sky and grunted when he came into contact with a dirt road. "Not cool…" He stood up and dusted the dirt off his jeans and jacket. "Man… A bit of a warning would've been nice!" He shouted at nothing. "And not response." Pulling out his phone, he tried to see if he could contact Fetch or Eugene and saw there was no service or Wi-Fi signal. "Yeah, guess that should've been obvious. Now, where the hell am I?" He felt the ground shake and stumbled, trying to get his footing back under control. "Whoa. An earthquake?" Screaming nearby got his attention and he took off, running.

Delsin stopped when he saw a giant monster standing in front of a horse-drawn cart with two men on it. "What the Hell?!" The monster turned to him and roared before diving underground. Delsin felt the ground rumble again and knew it was going to come up below him.

"Watch out," said a young man with a sword and brown hair nearby. Delsin looked down before feeling one of his new powers reacting to something. He looked up and saw clouds were overhead.

"Man I hope this works," said Delsin. As soon as the monster shot out of the ground, Delsin called lightning from the clouds above and directed it right at the giant beast. Delsin watched as it scorched and burned and listened to it roar in pain before it collapsed, dead. "Oh, hell yes!" Delsin grinned as he saw sparks of electricity coursing through his arms.

"How the hell did you do that," asked one of the men on the cart.

"Just something I picked up recently."

"Dude," said the boy with the sword. "That was awesome!"

"Ah, thanks." He turned to the two men. "You guys alright?"

"Yeah, thanks to you! You took down that Earth Dragon like it was nothing!" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bag. Delsin could hear coins rattling around in it. "Here, take this for protecting our cart."

"I can't take your money, I just did what anyone would've done."

"You're not from around here, are you?"

"Yeah, you could say that."

"Then I suggest you take that, anyways. If you're new to these parts, you're gonna need something to buy some new clothes and other things you may need, like a place to sleep."

"Thanks, then."

"Where are you off to?"

"Uh…"

"I'm heading to the Capitol," said the boy with the sword, a confidant grin on his face. "I'm going to join the Imperial Military so I can send money back to my village." The two men frowned.

"You're better off just heading back home, kid. There are monsters in the Capitol."

"Has it been overrun by Danger Beasts?"

"Not those kinds of monsters. Humans so monstrous, they make the Danger Beasts seem like garden variety animals," said the man with the reins. "Here." He tossed the bag to Delsin. "You boys need a lift to the Capitol?"

"Sure," said Delsin. "Considering I have no idea where I'm going. I think I got lost twice."

"Hop on, we'll take you both there." Delsin and the boy climbed onto the cart and the other man turned to him.

"What about you? Why are you heading there?"

"I'm just looking for work. Maybe act as protection for some guy or something. Really didn't have a plan when coming here."

"Guess you're lucky to have survived as long as you did."

"I don't think luck had anything to do with it if what he did to the Earth Dragon is anything to go by," said the Boy. "I'm Tatsumi, by the way."

"Delsin." The Conduit shook the boys hand.

"I was going to kill the Danger Beast myself, but you drew it's attention and forced it underground, making me miss my strike."

"Sorry about that, man. Never seen something like that before."

"You must've been fighting smaller Danger Beasts then," said the man holding the reins.

"Uh… yeah. Mostly I've been fighting bad guys trying to kill me or others."

"You a bounty hunter then?"

"More like a decent guy with some… very extraordinary skills." Most of the ride was spent in relative silence until they got to a fork in the road with a man holding a mace standing in the center. Delsin spotted him and looked around, seeing a few glints of metal from between the leaves of nearby bushes. "Tatsumi, it's an ambush. Stay with the cart in case things go South," he quietly told the boy before jumping out of the cart.

"Good afternoon, Random Mace Guy. How can I help you?"

"You can start by handing over your cart and any gold you've got on hand."

"Oh, that seems reasonable. Here's my counter offer." He turned and blasted two bolts of lightning into the bushes, aiming for the metal weapons he spotted from the cart. The bandits shouted in surprise and pain as the electricity hit their weapons and coursed through their bodies, stunning them. Delsin ducked under a swing as the bandit leader tried hitting him with his mace. Delsin undid the chain he kept on his wrist and coursed lightning through it before swinging and hitting the leader. He twitched as electricity coursed through him, paralyzing him slightly.

Tatsumi spotted two of the bandits coming to and about to attack Delsin. Hesitantly, Tatsumi swung his sword and took off the head of one before stabbing the other before he could react. Delsin knocked the leader to the ground and pinned him with lightning before turning to the bush on the other side of the cart.

He sent a wave of electricity to them and lifted their weapons away, along with the only bandit in plate armor. The last bandit held his arms up in surrender and Delsin grinned before zapping him to the ground with a shot to the chest, pinning him down as well. He let go of his magnetic grip and watched the man plummet and a mace land on his head, knocking him out. "Ooh, that's gotta hurt." He turned to the men on the cart. "You guys mind if we carry them on the cart to the Capitol? I'm sure the authorities would like to know a ground of bandits are off the streets." The driver nodded, slightly frightened by what he had just witnessed. The rest of the ride was spent with Delsin making sure the bandits were properly restrained with rope before they got to the Capitol gates. Tatsumi ran off ahead to try and find the military recruitment center as Delsin stayed with the bandits, letting the cart go on ahead.

He waited for a few minutes before a cute girl with a strange small dog being dragged behind her ran over. "You're the guy with the bandits, right?!"

"Yeah. These guys attacked the men who offered me a ride into town. Two bandits were killed in the attack, the rest are here." He looked at her then down at the dog. "Uh… I don't think it's a good thing to be dragging your dog like that. You could choke it."

"Koro's fine! Aren't you Koro?" The dog, Koro, barked in agreement and panted as the girl hugged it.

"Right… Well, if there's a reward for these guys I'll take it, if not then just consider this a favor."

"What's your name?"

"My name?"

"Of course! I need your name so I can file my report for someone who brought evildoers like these despicable cretins to Justice!" Delsin hesitated for a second before turning to her. "My name is… Eugene. Eugene Sims."

"Nice to meet you, Eugene! My name is Seryu Ubiquitous!"

"Nice to meet you to…" Delsin found himself put off by her cheerful demeanor, something felt off to him. "So… reward…?"

"Wait right here! I'll see if there is anything!" While Delsin waited for her to return, he decided to check what he had on him. Several cans of spray paint, a key ring, his chain and his brother's badge. Pulling out the badge, Delsin smiled sadly.

"I wonder what you'd say if you saw this place."

"It's not much of one," said Seryu as she walked back. "Only the leader had a small bounty on his head!" She spotted the badge in his hand. "What's that?"

"Hm? Oh. It was my brother's badge. He was a police officer back home." He gripped the badge tightly before putting it back in his pocket. "He died saving me from a mad woman that attacked my village far away from here. I carry the badge to remember him."

"I'm sorry about what happened to him. I hope she faced true Justice!"

"She did. Bitch is rotting in a cell right now, paying for every crime she committed."

"She's still alive?!"

"Yeah. Reggie always told me no good ever came from killing and calling it Justice, God's Work. Or some other reason. Life is precious and to take ones life and call it Justice means that you don't truly want Justice. You're a coward who enjoys killing but knows that killing is an evil sin, no matter who is on the other end of the sword. And to mask your actions you call it Justice." He pocketed the coins she handed him and looked at her. "He never took a life unless it was in self-defense, and I've practiced the same way in honor of his memory." Delsin saw the look in her eye and sighed. "You seem conflicted."

"Oh, no! I'm fine! Have a good day, Eugene!" He watched as the girl ran off, dragging the dog behind her again.

"Hope Eugene won't mind me borrowing his name when I tell him this story." Delsin started walking through the streets and found a tavern just as his stomach growled.

"Oh good, food!" Walking by a fire, Delsin discreetly absorbed the smoke before heading into the building. Inside, he found Tatsumi sulking at a table and a busty blonde woman sitting in front of him. "Hey, Tatsumi!"

The boy looked up and turned to the entrance. "Oh, hey! Delsin!" Delsin grinned and walked over to the table his new friend was at. "Just turned in those bandits?"

"Yeah. Kinda underwhelming, actually. Just 11 silver coins."

"For three bandits?"

"For one bandit, the leader. Oh well, wasn't about the money anyways. What's your problem, man?"

"He's been complaining about how they were going to start him out as a private and then kicked him out when he demanded a position higher up in command," said the blonde across from Tatsumi. Delsin looked at him.

"Ok, why would you assume they'd hand you a position like that?"

"Because my skills would be wasted in just a privates position. I need the money for my village."

"You know," said the blonde. "I've got a friend who can get you the position you'd like." Delsin's bullshit radar went off but he decided to say nothing to see if Tatsumi would catch on.

"Seriously?!" Delsin watched him practically launch his seat a few feet away when he jumped up in excitement. 'Oh, he deserves what's coming next.' Delsin thought to himself.

"Yep! All I need is to give him a little incentive." Tatsumi dug into his pocket and pulled out a bag of coin, handing it to her. She dropped it between her cleavage, to Delsin's amusement, before turning to Tatsumi. "You just wait here, and I'll be back." She turned to Delsin. "what about you, Handsome?"

"Not really a military kinda guy, so I'm gonna pass." She shrugged before getting up. She winked at Tatsumi right before exiting the tavern. Delsin ordered some food and proceeded to eat as Tatsumi waited eagerly. He finished his food and paid for a drink. He was about halfway done with that before he turned to his naïve friend. "You know she's not coming back, right? You got played."

"What?! Why didn't you say anything?!"

"Because I knew it would be funny." Delsin laughed as Tatsumi glared at him. They left the tavern with Tatsumi still glaring at him.

"Why did you wait so long before saying anything?!"

"Because I hoped you'd be a little less trusting and a little more intelligent, my naïve friend!"

"You're a dick."

"So I've been told." Delsin looked up as it started raining. "Oh, man! Come on!" He pulled off his beanie and glared at the sky. "Eat a dick, Karma!" Tatsumi laughed as he ringed out the hat and stuffed it into his jacket. "I don't know what you're laughing at." He dangled his bag of coins in front of Tatsumi's face. "I've still got my money. Where's yours?" Delsin moved it away and stuffed it back in his jacket when Tatsumi tried taking a swipe at it. Tatsumi was about to yell when a carriage pulled up. Delsin watched as a cute girl opened the carriage door.

"Oh no! Are you two ok?!" Delsin looked at her. "You're both soaking wet! Come in! I'll bring you to my home!" Delsin heard the sweetness in her voice and cautiously agreed, hoping Tatsumi had the same reluctance he felt. Delsin said nothing the entire ride to her mansion while Tatsumi did all the talking. 'I don't know if it's something to do with Cole's power, but something doesn't feel right about this. She seems a bit too nice. Then again, considering everything I've seen and heard about this place and it's higher class, it's a tossup on whether her kindness is genuine or a front.' Delsin Rowe looked around as he climbed out of the carriage. His eyes spotted a shed around the side of the mansion and his gut told him something bad was in there. 'Really hope I'm wrong about this.'

(Author's Notes)

I was noticing there is a severe lack of crossovers for these stories. Figured I'd give this story a shot. Give me your opinions on this so far and what your thoughts about which direction I should take this in. Also, if Fetch and/or Eugene should somehow find themselves in this world as well. This story won't be updated as frequently as my two main stories, nor will it sit in my profile until I can find a good idea for it like the other stories. Hope you enjoy the story and stick around for what's to come. Also, let me know about Delsin, somehow with or without Fetch, gets a harem. Wouldn't be Akame Ga Kill without one. As always, until next time, y'all!
