"Oh, Seattle. Don't I just love your sunsets on our D.U.P. free streets," the young man sighed, standing atop the structural beauty that was Space Needle. He could see everything from here, albeit not very well. Still, he was content with the progress he had made in clearing out the D.U.P.'s from the gorgeous city. There were only a couple of Districts left, nothing too troublesome. Stepping towards the edge of the ledge in which he was currently perched on, a smile stretched across the Akomish boy's face before he let himself fall off the edge.

Delsin had trouble remembering how many days it had been since he had acquired his powers. And yet, in such a short amount of time, so much had changed. Here he was, soaring through the air like a canon. One of the perks of his abilities was his extreme strength and endurance. Landing was too easy despite how many hundreds of feet he had fallen. The smoke surged through his veins all the way to the tips of his fingers, waiting idle until he might need them again, which was inevitable. Delsin was on a mission of sorts, one that would require him to let go of things he would rather not lose. But it was at a price, and that price was the lives of the people from his tribe. It was his responsibility to heal them, a promise he had to keep, and he was prepared to go to all lengths to do this.

With his smoke abilities alone, Delsin had a small chance of defeating Augustine, the concrete bitch that tried to put his people on their deathbeds much too early. He had recently absorbed two new types of powers - neon and video - which made him insanely powerful. He was pretty much ready to face her when a vibration in his pocket cut him out of his optimistic vibe. Reaching for his smartphone, he looked only to find an incoming call from his older brother.

"Whaddup, Reg?"

"You sound excited," Reggie's voice was low, his breath heavy.

"Hell yeah, I'm ready to go and defeat this bitch!" Delsin was jumping as he talked, punching the air around him.

"Listen to me, Del. I'm calling to let you know that we've found ourselves a slight… problem over here at the police department."

"Problem? What kind of problem is big enough to interrupt this?" Angry, Delsin's voice was sharp and unforgiving.

He could hear Reggie scoff over the line before continuing, "This one. I was talking to a few of the guys here and, well-"

"Well?"

"Alright, alright, don't cut me off like that! We think there's another bio-terro-"

"Conduit."

"Conduit, yes. We're pretty sure there's another Conduit in Seattle right now. One that has power over Wire."

"Another conduit?! Are you sure?" Delsin scratched at the back of his neck in frustration.

"Pretty damn certain. People have been sending in complaints about power lines on the road and thick electrical wires up walls and stuff. Similar to Laser Show's work. At first we thought it was just the result of D.U.P. destruction and such, but it's kind of all around the place now. Someone's trying to get themselves known."

"Known? By who? The Dups? Augustine?" Delsin's confusion was obvious.

"Banner Man," Reggie replied with a chuckle.

"Shut up, Reg. I'll check it out. Later." Ending the call, Delsin shoved the phone into his pocket before leaping up a brick wall and darting towards an air vent. Before he knew it, it was atop the building and overlooking the city once more. A sigh of relief left his lips before he sprung into action, eyes darting all around him in hopes of finding any clues that could lead him to the newest conduit.

Okay! So, I hope you enjoyed this little prologue into the story. Doesn't really set much in the category for time and place, but that'll all be shown in the next chapter. Until next time!
