[Delilah's point of view]
I smiled as Julius pushed the Con Man to the ground, and proudly said his catch frase: "You, sir, have an appointment with justice!"
Al showed up seconds later, with the police close behind. The put the Con Man in cuffs and shoved him none to gently into the back of a cruiser. Al put a hand on my shoulder, and I winced. One of the Con Man's henchman had kicked me there.
"Hmm." Al said, feeling it. "Looks dislocated, man."
I groaned. "Perfect."
Julius walked over to us, and put his hand on my good shoulder. "You gonna be OK?"
"Yeah, it'll just be like a five second appointment," I replied. "The doctor'll just pop it back in to place."
Julius winced, glad it hadn't happened to him. I couldn't blame him. Al gave me a ride to the hospital in his car. It all went fine, it didn't hurt that much when the doctor relocated my shoulder. The only thing that sucked was I had to wear a sling for a few days.
"Your shoulder is still a bit loose," the nurse explained. "You don't want it popping out of place again."
I rubbed it gently. "You got that right."

We arrived back at the Academy a few hours later - hospital line ups, sheesh! I walked into Julius' room, expecting to find him alone.
"See, I told you. I was no big-" I stopped as I realized there was someone else in the room.
She was a girl, around my age, with dark brown - almost black - hair. Her eyes were ... so familiar. I had seen those eyes before, I know it. Julius smiled, introducing us.
"This is Delilah Devonshire, my partner." He gestured to the new girl. "Delilah, this is Krystal Miller."
