2pDelirious' P.O.V:

"Okay, we should be able to go in this way." I said, guiding the way with Bryce. "Careful, Delirious." Said Bryce. "Will do." I replied, and we sneaked pass some guards. "Alright, let's see. . .it should be around-" Suddenly, my arm was pulled, and into Bryce's chest. I felt my face heat up, then Bryce said, "Laser sensors." "B-Bryce. . ." "O-Oh, I'm sorry." He said, and let my arm go. I stared into his pink, beautiful eyes, then he stared back at me. I can feel my heart beating faster. . .oh Bryce. . .why is he so gorgeous?

"D-Delirious?" he asked, and I snapped out. I realized I was gripping onto his jacket, and I let go, backed up. "S-Sorry, I. . .l-let's go." I said, and he nodded. We continued walking, then stopped. "Alright, now should be the time." Said Bryce. Suddenly gunshots were heard, catching the guards' attention away from us. Cartoonz & Ohm are in charge of that. "Now!" I said, and we sneaked pass them & into the room.

We hurried & finished the work, stealing some documents. "I think we're done here." Said Bryce. "Yea, we should go." I said, and Bryce contacted the two. "We're done here, so keep distracting. Ohm get a car ready!" I looked around just to make sure we didn't miss anything. "This is not the time, you slut!" said Bryce, Ohm probably flirted with him. After Bryce finished, we hurried to get out, we were going for an exit, but. . .we triggered a trap. A giant axe swung towards us, we dodged, but I apparently stepped on a button, and the floor opened. "Oh shoot!" I shouted, and I fell in through it. "Delirious!" I heard Bryce's voice just before I hit my head & black out.

When I woke up, I groaned, opened my eyes, and saw boxes & shelves. I tried to move, but couldn't, I was tied up & my mask was on the ground. Suddenly I heard a door & footsteps, I turned towards the sound, and saw few men come in my sight. "Oh, you finally woke up." "You were dumb enough to fall for our trap." "The other three got away, leaving you. Such cold-hearted teammates." They left? Well, mission is first. I can get out of here, just need to observe & plan.

One of the men grabbed my hair, pulling it. "Ugh!" I groaned. "What? You ignoring us? There's no escape for you, motherfucker." He punched me in the face, and pulled my hair again. "Can't talk? Huh?" "Isn't he 'H2ODelirious' from the BBS?" "That mute assassin?" "Mute. . .huh?" The man let go of my hair, suddenly got kicked in the stomach. I coughed a bit. "He really doesn't make a noise." "Well, it's good for us. No one will hear him." They pulled my arm, made me stand, then bashed me to the wall. "UGH!" "No one's gonna come here to save your ass~."

They beat me up, I was bloodied & bruised, and they just laughed at me. I was on the ground, panting from all the beating. "Such a loser. You worth nothing, even for your teammates." "They straight up ditched your ass!" "No. . .that's not true. . .they would. . .never-Agh!" They grabbed my shirt, pulled me up & punched me in the stomach. "You're just a sad piece of meat, huh? Can't talk. Get abandoned. And no one is coming for you." "They're all just cowards. Especially that red hair." Bryce? "He saw you fall for the trap, but ran away. He's a fucking coward!" they laughed. No. . . "THAT'S NOT TRUE!" I shouted, and tackled to one of them. "You little shit!"

"Bryce is not a coward! He stood up to change himself. . .survived in that alley of terror!" I struggled, did what I can to hurt them. I, of course, got apprehended, since they have more people, and I got beaten up. "AGH!" I shouted in pain when one of them stabbed my arm. "He can't even scream, that's sad~." They twisted the knife, making me feel more pain. I need to do something. . . They grabbed my hair, pulled me up, and slammed me to the ground. "You got triggered, huh? About the red hair?" "Shut up. . ." "He's the one who ran away, abandoned you!" "NO!" I struggled, tried to tackle the guy who said that, but got kicked by the waist from the other. "You angry~? That's so cute~, but it's a waste. You worth nothing to anyone else."

I felt. . .tears in my eyes. That's not true. . .they are my friends. . .I. . .trust them. "Aww, he's crying~. Well, fuck you!" They laughed & kept beating me. Cracked or broke few of my bones. "Stupid shit!" "You're gonna die!" I tried to keep calm. . .but I felt like breaking down. . .I remember something similar. . .same situation. . .and I lost someone dear to me. Am I gonna lose again? Did I lose it already? I made a mistake, and they. . .abandoned me? Please. . .don't. . .please. . .

My hand rope loosened. . .I used the strength I had, and pulled my hands out of the rope. I turned & hit one of them. "Ow! You piece of shit!" "Kill him!" I tried to run, fight back, but I got shot in the leg, and fell. "Help. . .please. . .don't. . ." I crawled to the shutters as fast as I can, no matter how much my body ached. I got pinned down from behind. "Not so fast bitch!"

"Let go of me!" He grabbed my hair, pulled me back, then aimed his knife to my neck. Tears were sliding down my cheeks. . .please. . . "Don't go. . .please. . .guys. . .help. . ." "Let's cut that throat off, since you don't need it. Your voice won't reach to anyone." I felt nothing, but pain. . .tears didn't stop. . .I am mute. . .ever since I lost my voice. . .no one was able to hear me. . .the crew had to go through some training to understand. But this is different. . .no one. . .no one. . .my voice. . .won't reach to anyone. "Bryce. . .help. . ." I closed my eyes, embraced my fate.

"DELIRIOUS!" My eyes shot open as I heard Bryce's voice. "What the fuck?" Loud noises came, the shutters were opening. . .I saw Bryce, who opened the shutter by hand. "Bryce. . ." "GET THE FUCK OFF HIM!" He quickly shot the guy who was pinning me. "AGH! FUCK!" "Bryce. . ." "YOU'RE ALL GOING TO FUCKING DIE!" Bryce shouted, and charged in, the men fought back. I couldn't do anything. . . I just watched Bryce fight. . .for me. Soon, it was over, Bryce was bloodied, had a knife on his arm, he took it out, then threw it away. "Bryce. . ." Bryce looked at me, then ran up to me. "Delirious, oh my god, I'm so sorry!" he said, and supported me.

"Bryce. . .you. . .came for me. . ." "Of course I did. I'm sorry it took so long. . ." I sniffled, tears didn't stop. . .Bryce, he came to save me. "Delirious. . ." he hugged me softly, and continued, "I heard your voice." "What?" "Your voice, I heard it." "B-But. . .how? I. . .my voice doesn't reach anyone, since I don't have any." He looked at me right into my eyes, and said, "You're wrong. Your voice ALWAYS reaches to me." "Bryce. . .I. . .I. . ." He wiped my tears, and said, "It's okay. I'm gonna take you back to base." He carried me in his arms, I blushed, then I asked, "Where's Ohm & Cartoonz?" "They're outside killing some guards & setting up a bomb to say sayonara to this bitchass place." I leaned to Bryce's chest, then. . .Bryce kissed me on my forehead.

I passed out during the escape from the blood loss & shock of pain. I woke up on a bed, I tried to move, but my body ached, then I felt someone placed their hand on my chest. I turned, then saw Bryce. "B-Bryce. . ." "Finally, you're awake! Thank god." He said. "W-What happened?" I asked. "You passed out. I got you back to base, and Mini healed you. You have few broken & cracked bones, but you'll recover soon." "Really?" Suddenly, Bryce kissed me, and I blushed. He pulled away, and replied, "Of course. Don't worry, and I'll be right here to take care of you if you need anything. It's my responsibility that this happened to you." "N-No, it's my fault." "I should've gone with you, down in the trap, but I had to run, because of the idiots. I had to stop them before they made the base collapse." He said. "Bryce. . ." "Let me take responsibility, Jonathan." I blushed more as he called my real name. "O-Okay. . ." Bryce smiled, then kissed me. I softly kissed him back, after few seconds, we parted. "I'm not leaving you ever again." "Bryce. . .thank you."
