Delirious's POV:

We all ran as the sirens started to sound. "You call this celebrating?!" I yelled over at Luke as we were sprinting down the ally away from the small store. After we hopped into the van we broke into laughter. Our laughter stopped when there was a thud on the van. We were stopped. I looked over at Luke. He was completely frozen. Actually all my surroundings were frozen. I opened the van door, getting ready to fight. There was a small shadow on the buildings in the ally. There was a hoo behind me as I instantly turned around. The owl flew down as I turned around. I double took and noticed who the owl was. I just really didn't know all the way. Deep down inside I felt something but I couldn't tell what. The owl switched forms into an Asian with jet black hair and deep brown eyes. My knees totally gave out but I leaned onto the van. "What are you doing?" I spat. I saw pain flash through his brown eyes. "Trying to fix you." He muttered. I stomped. "Speak up! I can't here you! You little! Little!-" I couldn't finish. My mouth wouldn't let me. "SAY IT!" He yelled. His knuckles were white with pressure. He un-balled one fist to run through his hair. "You won't! You're stuck like this Delirious! You need to come back!" He yelled. "No! Come back where?! To that sucking-ass group that literally can't fucking save one person without getting a scar?!" "ITS NOT ABOUT THAT! THINK ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER AND YOUR FRIENDS!" He looked down and un-balled both of his hands. "Think about your husband..." "I don't feel anymore. I don't think about people I love. I only think about my work and me." I felt a shutter of coldness come from his stare. Even in the middle of May it was really cold. "Fine. Then I won't think about you ever again. I won't think about the empty spot in the bed beside me. I won't think about the missing laugh. I won't think about the missing raccoon. I won't miss the Batcoon. I won't miss Delirious. I won't miss... Jonathan." His face went from hurt to pissed. Before anything I had a pair of hands around my neck. As I noticed what was happening I was staring at the brown eyes that I some how fell for a while ago. 

Moo's POV:

"Shit Moo! How long can you keep this up?!" Wildcat asked as he was readying himself to hit Delirious. I kept holding my breath so time would stay frozen. I've gotten pretty good at it over the past 11 years. Our plan was Wildcat to go hit Delirious and me go to defend him and all that blah blah stuff and he'll be like 'Oh thank you' and hopefully he'd want me to be on the "crew" they have. I looked at the spot in the ally Vanoss found. I had to keep myself from gasping when I saw what was happening. Vanoss had Delirious pinned to the van and his hands around his neck. Vanoss's expression was a mix of hurt, anger and guilt. Delirious's face was turning red. I punched Wildcat in the arm. He looked over and I pointed. His eyes widened and he looked back at me. "What's our plan now?" I shrugged. "Okay. I'll just stick with this one." Wildcat switched to pig form and started running. Delirious noticed him and tried saying something to Vanoss but he wasn't gonna take any shit. Wildcat ran right into Delirious. Delirious disappeared from Vanoss's pin. Vanoss threw his hands to his face. He started shaking his head and switched to owl form. I looked back over to Wildcat and Delirious. Delirious was trying his hardest to get up but his legs were badly hurt from Wildcat's collision. I let out a gasp and started breathing again. I saw CaRtOoNz moving in the van. I quickly switched to eagle form and swooped down to push Wildcat off of Delirious. When I pushed Wildcat away he made a "hurt" noise and ran away. I switched to human form and helped Delirious up. "Thanks... uh?" "Early Bird." "Early Bird? Ha. Nice name." "I guess. I usually use it while I'm ya know getting around Los Santos if ya know what I mean." "Going around gettin' to know the banks?" He chuckled. I nodded and sorta laughed. "Yeah." "So you rob too? We could use your help in our crew. You wanna-" "Sure." I said a little too quickly. "Okay. Well here's the boss Luke or CaRtOoNz." Delirious said gesturing towards CaRtOoNz." "So you wanna join? You switching sides?" He said. His eyes turning a darker color. I nodded. "Yeah. CaRtOoNz?" "Luke." He said shaking my hand. As soon as we got into the van I knew that from now until Delirious and Lizzy were back, this was going to be hell. 

Vanoss's POV:

I slowly walked into the apartment. I opened the pantry to find my little stock in the back. I grabbed the whisky and went to the counter and picked a bar stool. I sat down heavily on the stool. I started to swing back and forth. The memory of me yelling at Delirious to stop spinning because he was carrying a child inside. I slightly chuckled and stopped. "That's never gonna happen again. I'll probably never see him again other than him being an enemy and on the news..." I sighed and took a huge chug of the bottle in my hand. I haven't told Delirious or actually any of the guys about my little drinking thing. It started when Lizzy turned 5. It just got so stressful. Delirious was always worried about me but I just told him it was stress. Being a father was a lot harder than I thought, but I actually thought I'd get through it with Delirious... I walked around the kitchen. I almost slipped on the floor but grabbed the counter. Another memory flashed by. Delirious was really worried about being pregnant and shit, so I wanted to cheer him up. I found The Turtles, So Happy Together and we danced to it. I sadly smiled. I walked over to the window. I thought about what happened at the ally and what we both said. "I won't miss Batcoon..." I mumbled. "I won't miss Delirious..." I sighed. "I won't miss Jonathan..." I let out a little sob. I turned around from the window and leaned against it. I slid down to the ground. I took a few more swigs of the whisky and brought my knees to my chest. I threw my arms over my knees and put my head on my arms. I closed my eyes letting the tears come out slowly and silently. "I fucked up..." I sobbed. "I fucked up bad..." My sobbing got violent and I had to out down the whisky so I didn't spill it. "Oh my... my Delirious..." I rubbed my snot and tears on the sleeve of my jacket. "Why'd I say that... I fucked so bad..." It was silent for a very long time, other than my sobs. "Evan, you didn't fuck up." The voice made me jump up and run towards it. The voice that saved us all multiple times.
