Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Exams and NaNoWriMo. Tell me what you guys think about this one. It has a lot of little plot details which will develop later on in the fic. Another quick announcement: I've read a lot of review from other inFAMOUS fics and noticed that a lot of you guys have been asking for the return of some awesome characters from inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2. Well, I was planning to bring back Reggie in this fic but tbh I can't really see that happening. So instead I've planned out a detailed sub plot including either Nix or Sasha. BUT I only want to include one of them, so if any of you are interested then leave a review saying who you'd rather have return.

Thanx and PEACE!

"You take blue-lady, I'll get Celia's powers." Delsin told me.

I ran towards Kuo and ice-launched myself up to her, creating a blast of cold air to elevate me even higher. Kuo swooped to one side and shot a stream of scarily sharp ice shards at me. I blunted the edges a split second before they hit me but they still hurt a lot and threw me back to the roof. I quickly got back up just in time to ice launch myself away from a paper sword that probably would have killed me. I glanced at Delsin and saw that he was having trouble with Celia. He was fast, but she was faster; she had created a pair of paper angel-wings (why wasn't any of this in the game?) which were a lot more practical than they looked and whenever he would try to grab her, she'd fly out of his reach and attack from afar. I felt a sudden disturbance in the air and dived out of the way, just in time to dodge a giant boulder of ice. I created a thick ice-shield to try and block another boulder but Kuo shot a bolt of cryoenergy which completely shattered it, allowing the boulder to smash into me. The force knocked me backwards and I almost fell off the building but I managed to maneuver mid-air and, in panic, created a new ice construct - a long chain with a sharp hook on one end - to grab onto the edge and swing back onto the roof. I swung the chain in a wide arc, aiming for Kuo, but the stronger Conduit, again, shattered my construct with a casual wave of her hand. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted Delsin getting knocked back by a heavy paper hammer thrown by Celia. The paper-powered Conduit raised her hand and I knew that Delsin wouldn't be able to block her attack so I hastily created a wall of ice between the two of them... But I wasn't paying attention to Kuo. She threw a thick, jagged piece of ice, roughly the size of a small car, at me. I only saw it when it was a few meters away. Raising my hands, I attempted to stop, or at least slow the ice but Kuo's power over it was stronger than mine. It hit me so hard that it broke into pieces and I was sent flying into the air. I landed centimetres away from the edge of the roof and my vision started to go out of focus. Shit. I just about had enough conscience to call a bolt of cryo from the sea.

Today would be nice I think. The silky voice doesn't reply but I could tell that the energy was speeding towards me. Delsin launched himself at Celia with a pillar of concrete but she knocked him back to the ground with a giant paper fist and he landed close to me.

"This ain't working," I manage to mumble.

"I didn't notice" He replied sarcastically, "We need to change our game-plan."

"How about we swap dance partners?"

"You just read my mind." Delsin's eyes twinkled in a smirk that never reached his lips. He jumped up and smoke-dashed towards Kuo. She wasn't expecting it and wasn't fast enough to stop the Phosphor Beam that followed. It hit her directly in the chest and she fell to the ground, dazed but obviously not seriously injured. I wanted to help but I was practically paralyzed with pain.

Come on. Come ON! I begged the cryoenergy. A streak of white fire shot towards me and I absorbed the energy, gratefully replenished. Springing to my feet, I shot blunt projectiles at Celia, just as she was about to help Kuo. One hit her in the thigh and the others tore apart her wings. She fell to the ground but landed on her feet, definitely a lot more experienced than I thought she'd be, and launched a dozen hardened paper shards at me, which I easily blocked with a thick ice-shield. She kept turning into flying strips of paper to easily evade my attacks and materialized only to give enough time to attack me but by the time I had even realised where she was, she had turned back into paper. I wasn't going to risk creating a blizzard in case Kuo used it against me, so instead I encased myself in a icy cocoon to block off her attacks. I was planning to wait until Celia got close, then I'd explode my cocoon. But she had other things on mind. I could see easily through my defense and, to my horror, saw Celia joining the fight against Delsin, which Kuo had been losing. I smashed open the top of the cocoon and ice-launched out. Twisting my body in the air to get a good shot, I threw an ice-grenade between Celia and Delsin - creating a long wall between them. She whirled around to face me again, expecting me to be at a good distance away for her to have the advantage, but I had already ice-launched myself even closer and tried to punch her. She easily blocked it and countered with a round-house kick. I sidestepped and returned with my own side-kick - which she blocked with an elbow - and I followed with a backfist, aiming for her face.

And that's when I found out I wasn't even a normal Conduit.

Celia blocked my punch with her hand and our skin touched. My arm exploded in pain and the Paper-Conduit started screaming. We tried to pull our hands away from each other but some force was keeping them together. It felt like being electrocuted, suffocated and burned all at the same time. I couldn't breath. I heard a male's scream along with Celia's. Was that Delsin's voice? No, mine. Then the world went black.

I opened my eyes and noticed that I was looking at the night-sky. I hastily tried springing to my feet but had to get up slowly because I was feeling unnaturally dizzy. Celia was on the ground, regaining consciousness, and Delsin and Kuo were still locked in battle. I noticed that Kuo was only defending, not trying to hurt Delsin. What's going on? I tried to break up the fight by creating an ice barrier between the two of them but nothing happened. Crap!

Celia got up and threw a paper blade at me. I tried stepping out of the way... and ended up five metres away. She glared at me furiously and, with a yell, threw more blades. I tried stepping out of the way again and - again - ended up a lot further away then I had intended. This went on for a few minutes, me easily evading Celia's attacks with this newfound power. It felt as if the wind was pushing me in the direction I wanted to go. But when I stopped and tried to freeze her, nothing happened. Why isn't my Cryokinesis working? I quickly dodged another one of Celia's projectiles just as Delsin floored Kuo with a Concrete Punch. I dodged around Celia one more time and, acting on gut-instinct, thrust my hands towards her - deliberately not trying to use Cryo. The sound of rustling paper was followed by bright white strips of paper shooting out of my arms and streaking towards her. They would have hit her in the chest if a bright laser hadn't burnt them into ashes. I looked down at my arms and noticed that paper strips were swirling around them. So... Am I like Delsin now? Able to absorb powers from other Conduits?

"Celia, stop." I heard Kuo say. I turned around to see that she had stopped fighting Delsin and was standing up. Delsin was staring at me in surprise.

"So you're Delsin Rowe." Kuo said looking at me.

"No." Celia replied before I could. Delsin looked pretty pissed off. "That's Delsin." She said, pointing at him.

"How are you sure?"

"Well, if he was an imposter then this other kid would have deactivated his powers if they touched."Delsin seemed confused by their conversation and the two of us just stood on the side, listening but hardly understanding. Delsin interrupted them.

"Why don't I absorb Celia's powers to prove it?" He tried to sound innocent, as if his only intention was to help.

"That won't work," Celia answered.

"Why not?" He asked. Instead of giving him an explanation, she reached her hand out for Delsin to touch and when he did, nothing happened. He grunted in disappointment. "Wait a second," He faced Kuo, "Celia already knew what I look like so why didn't you just ask her-"

"I had to make sure that you were really Delsin Rowe," Kuo interrupted, "You could have been one of the Converted working for the First Sons." She added cryptically.

"What are 'Converted'?" Delsin asked, "And who the fuck are 'First Sons'?"

"I'll explain later," Kuo turned to me, "Before that, I heard you had a Blast Core and a Dead Drop."

"The SD card was a Dead Drop?" I asked.

"No way!" Delsin quickly intervened, "You are going to explain EVERYTHING before we go any further."

"Okay." Kuo sighed. She and Celia exchanged a knowing look and she added, "But first we need a place to rest. I came a long way to find you, Delsin."

"How do I know I can trust you?" He asked with a sarcastic smirk. Kuo thought for a few seconds before taking out her phone and dialling a number. She held the phone to her ear.

"It's Kuo. We found Delsin Rowe. Yes, he's genuine. He doesn't trust us and I don't really blame him. Yes, I do expect you to convince him." She handed the phone to Delsin.

"Explain." Delsin demanded. A tinny voice started talking to him from the other side, "Wait. Wait... You're that guy... Raymond Wolfe got me to talk to you!" He listened to the person speak for a couple of minutes before hanging up and giving the phone back to Kuo.

"Who was it?" I asked.

"I don't know his name. But I trust him" Delsin replied before turning to the other two Conduits, "You guys can stay at the House. Rest for a bit and then you'll explain what's going on."

Fetch had already prepared a huge dinner that we would never had finished ourselves so Kuo and Celia got some of her laser-cooked casserole. During the fight, I hadn't really had much time to examine the two of them but now I noticed that they had dark eye-bags - they looked like they hadn't slept for days. Fetch noticed too and showed them both to their rooms before asking Delsin to come to sleep with her. He shook his head.

"We need to find Core-Relays for Ash." Delsin said to her.

"I don't need them now, Delsin," I intervened, "We can wait until tomorrow."

"No we can't. You don't know how to use Paper and can't use Ice until Paper is developed enough. If Kessler finds out where we are and decides to pay us a surprise visit, you'll die." He said viciously. "And the funeral's tomorrow anyway so we won't have much time."

"Alright," I sighed.

Just as we were about to leave, Delsin's phone started to ring. He answered it and went into the kitchen before having a conversation. When he finished and returned from the kitchen, he put on his jacket and walked out of the House, with me in tow.
