Chapter 1: Home Town Hero

Delsin walks out of the Longhouse. It's been a week since the events in Seattle, a week since Reggie died. He's been taking care of the Akomish that Augustine hurt. Delsin sits on the cliff, thinking about Reggie. Betty walks gingerly out to him and puts her hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, you know he's proud of you."

"Yeah. I know."

They stay on the cliff, watching the sunset. Delsin gets up and hugs Betty.

"Take it easy, Betty."

Delsin walks off to his house that he and Reggie shared. He opens the door and walks in. The door closes behind him and leaves him standing in the middle of the Rowe home. It's a small house, just like every other Akomish home. Not much inside and very simple. He goes what he called his studio. Reggie used to call it his "delinquent room" because all of Delsin's tagging work started in there. Delsin sits at his table, pondering what to do now when his phones rings.

"Hello?"

"Hi." A female voice was on the other end, but it wasn't one he recognised. It was raspy and deepish, but he could tell it was a girl. "Is this Delsin Rowe?"

"Yeah. Who's this?"

"My name is Raven. I saw what you did in Seattle with the DUP's and Augustine. I thank you man. Makes my work easier. I would love to meet with you."

"Now's not really a good time..."

"I'm not that far from Seattle. I'm in Tacoma. I'll send you my location, and when you're ready, come see me. I've got a business proposal for you. One that you won't be able to say no to."

She hangs up before Delsin could ask her anything.

"Delsin, you should go." Betty wasn't fighting this idea. Delsin had to get her advice, and so far it's not what he wanted to hear. "This Raven girl sounds like she needs your help. You're a hero to all Conduits now. The people here can last without our home-tribe hero for a few weeks. Go, Delsin. Go help her."

"What if it's a trap? I mean how did she get my number if it's not?"

"I guess you'll have to ask her when you meet her." Betty was right, as usual. Conduits have been thanking him since he exposed Augustine. Especially the ones at Curdun Cay. "

You really think I should go?"

"Yes Delsin. People look up to you now. You're a hero. To normals and conduits alike." Betty puts her hand on his shoulder. "Go. I can hold the fort down until you return."

Delsin smiled. This is why he loved Betty so much. It's just like Betty to say something like that. She knew how to get Delsin to go and do something.

"Take care Betty." Delsin gets up from Betty's hospital bed and leaves the Longhouse. He jumps onto the roof and holds onto the smokestack.

"Okay, Raven. You wanted me, you've got me."

Delsin drains the smoke coming from the smokestack and takes off. He was gonna meet this Raven girl and see what she wanted. But he was meeting her with caution. He didn't know how she got his number, but he would find out. Even if it killed him. Betty was right. He was a hero to the conduits. It's time he should start acting like one. He's the one who is ushering in a time of peace between normals and conduits. If Raven is wanting the same thing that he's working for, he'll gladly help her. If not, he'll stop her. Whatever it takes.
