"You found Silco?" Caitlyn asked when she and powder regrouped on the rooftop, where cait waited with her rifle outside the last drop. She was their sniper in case Milo ran.

"Not so much found him, but his office is close," powder jabbed her thumb back at the pub.

"Great, so with all of this we can take the evidence to the council," she smiled hopeful as Ekko kept a look out behind them.

"You can, I'm ending it though," powder shrugged.

"Your going to kill him actually?" Caitlyn looked startled.

"Um no?" She tried to lie.

"It's gotta be done," ekko agreed on the side.

"That's murder," Caitlyn spat at them.

"The amount of people that Silco kills, or has enforcers ordered to kill, it has to stop," Ekko shot back glaring.

"Powder come back with me, Jayce will listen to us and the council, you know more than I," Caitlyn grabbed both of powders hands pleading.

"If I go now I can finish what I started, I know I'm going to have consequences back there, I'm not done yet," she held Caitlyn's hands.

"They won't, they'll understand," 

"I stole, I stole a hexgem and heimerdinger won't take it lightly," the blue hair girl admitted.

"I can't sit by and let people suffer anymore, this is my home, and I can help," powder squeezed her hand back with a firm nod.

"Go home Caitlyn, with your evidence, I'll be back soon," she smiled softly with a shrug.

"Pow," ekko whistled her off as a flare in the distance went off. Someone found Silco coming towards the last drop.

"Tell Jayce and Viktor I'm okay," powder let go and turned her attention back to Ekko, her braids swishing behind her.

"Powder wait," Caitlyn followed them.

"If you two do this, the cycle of violence will never stop, this city needs healing," she tried to reason.

"What would you do? After seeing people you know and love, your own people, slaughtered and hunted like animals, what would you do?" Ekko stepped towards her as he stood next to powder.

"Lets talk to the council, we'll say we took the gemstone as protection, but everything that comes after is going to be more important than that, they won't care," Caitlyn tried again as Ekko now listened fully.

"You're people won't have to hide anymore,"

Powders eyes flickered to her friend as he was hesitating now after all they've done.

"You're kidding? We're so close," powder frowned.

"We can do all of that still, but right now we can take down Silco, the nights young we have time!" She started to raise her voice a little at them.

"And what if he's not alone? We're not strong enough to take down vi and sevika, they'll kill us," ekko started to switch to the other plan.

Powders face twitched as she growled turning away from them. Mumbling to herself and hitting the side of her head, shaking in disagreement.

"They're not lying, stop stop it's not- no that's not what they're saying," she covered her face with a whine. She just wanted it to stop.

"Powder it's okay," Ekko whispered but she whimpered shaking her head.

"What if she finds me again? This isn't done till Silco is dead," powders breath was shaking as she looked angry still.

"I just wanted to help," she covered her face.

"My guys are close, they'll help you," Ekko put his jacket around powders shoulders.

"I'm going with her, if the council can help then I want to be the one to talk to them, speaking for my people," he patted her on the shoulder.

"You'll come with me?" Cailyn was surprised.

"I will, I want to talk to them, but we need jinx to finish her plan also," ekko agreed. Powder wasn't involved but jinx is like them.

Powder understood and slipped her arms in the giant jacket.

"Just don't tell them your the guy that broke into my room to kidnap me," she grinned waving her gun at them.

Ekko walked back to her and they grabbed each others forearms to shake. Caitlyn watched confused when they pressed their foreheads together for a moment. Each of them spoke in a whisper of some sort of goodbye. She wondered about their past with each other, how they grew up.

"Let's go," Ekko motioned for Caitlyn to follow.

He grabbed a light from his pocket and cracked it open, making a sparkling flame from the device, throwing it up as a signal to his own.

Powder pursed her lips as she watched the two leave. She held the jacket close but she wasn't cold.

"If your in a situation like before again, take your first chance and run back to piltover," ekko's words stuck with her when their foreheads touched before. Zaun tradition of care, when you touch foreheads with someone. Only zaunies understood the sentiment behind it.

She saw firelights flying on the sides as she pulled the hood over her head, watching over the ledge of the roof where Ekko and Caitlyn was leaving.

"Where's Ekko?" A firelight landed on the roof with her.

"He's heading topside with the enforcer, you guys still ready to help me take down Silco?" Jinx asked playing with the gemstone between her fingers.

"No more of our people need to die," scar nodded.

They heard an explosion from inside the pub below and jinx smiled proudly seeing people clearing from the inside filled with smoke.

"Nope, just drop me off, no one else needs to get hurt," jinx told him calmly, motioning to the hover board.

—

Vi held her bottle of liquor as she sat on the side on the sofa in silcos office. He was frustrated with a cigar between his fingers, his other hand holding the back of his neck.

They heard an explosion down the hall and shook the room. Vi jumped up startled as smoke poured under the closed door, she went to open it but the door was stuck, something was against it from whatever exploded outside the hall.

"What the fuck?" Vi tried to kick it as Silco stood slowly from his desk.

He felt chill run down his spine when a green blur flashed behind him. Silco turned around and gasped a little when something was coming at the window.

A blue blast shattered the window and jinx fell through as Silco ducked the blast. She landed on her feet in the middle of the room with the hood staying over her head.

"Heard your looking for me?" Jinx smirked and shot her gun at Silco without hesitation. He grunted ducking to the floor as the blast shot through his chair.

Vi grabbed the back of the firelight jacket and threw her against the wall as jinx yelled in pain, but slammed her knee into Vi's side before she could land a blow.

"So your jinx... your smaller than I expected," Silco dusted himself off as vi recognized it was powder. She held her side like it hurt more than it did:

"Don't flatter me," she sneered holding her gun up and walked straight towards him.

"Well you got me, I am completely at your mercy, jinx," silco looked at her calmly as she pressed the gun to his chest.

"Bang, you shot me, now what? I'm dead and the lanes are a mess, crime lords killing more than ever to gain power, killing others, killing innocent, oh jinx how could you let that happen?" Silco tsked at her shaking his head with sarcasm.

"Oh so letting you live is for the greater good? You keep the peace?" Jinx cooed tilting her head to the side.

"I'm working for the peace," he nodded simply.

"Your work has lead to innocent deaths, the way you run the lanes is with shimmer, your leading addicts and victims," jinx scoffed not believing him.

"So who's going to clean up your mess once I'm dead?" Silco looked over at vi as she was hesitating to break jinx away from him.

"And who knows, the next me is going to be so much worse," he raised his brow.

"Then turn yourself in, admit to your crimes," jinx groaned hating what was coming out of her mouth.

"Are you stupid? It's not that easy," vi chuckled leaning against the wall.

"Did I ask you?" Jinx hissed coldly.

"Get your dog on a leash or I'll put it down," jinx threatened as she powered up her weapon. Silco could feel the heat of it through his clothes, he held his breath.

"I'd tell her to leave but you see the door is stuck," silco shrugged.

"Powder let's just calm down, put the weapon down," vi took a step towards them but a blue blast flew past her head and went into the wall.

Jinx stared at her with rage, her hand steady and ready to shoot again.

She didn't say a word, she had nothing to say to the girl that was once her protector, her ride or die. Her eye twitched hearing her name off her sister voice, the whispers tried to speak but she ignored their words.

But they never truly go away.

"It's jinx," she whispered with her bangs covering her eyes when she tilted her head down.

"I don't care about the criminals here, I don't care for the monsters that you created with shimmer, for now, I care about stopping this hell that you created," she looked back at Silco tiredly.

"And you don't know either what could happen, maybe nothing will happen, you can't predict that," she hummed casually.

"So what now? What's stopping me to kill you? I heard what you had to say," jinx gave him a fake pout as she looked innocent.

"You're weak, you won't do it," silco dragged a breath from his cigar and blew the smoke at her.

Jinx brought the gun over and held it at Silco.

"You hesitate, youre having second thoughts-" a blue blast shot past his head as Silco froze with wide eyes.

"Jinx!" Vi cried out as Silco reached up to touch his ear, warm blood trickled past his fingers.

"Oh shame, I didn't get the whole ear," jinx gasped like she was shocked but chuckled to herself a little. She shot at Silco again but missed when he moved to the side quickly.

Vi could see fire lights hanging outside the broken window, her eyes flickering to them and back to jinx's jacket, they were ready for her. Vi had to prove her loyalty.

She grabbed her sister by the back of the jacket and swung her around to throw her on the ground, she went to pin her down but jinx was fast with her reflect as she placed her boots under and kicked vi off immediately.

"You ignorant brat," vi spat as jinx stared at her with a flash of panic.

"You know nothing, you've been gone and all of a sudden you come to the lanes, with an enforcer, your best friend? And act like you know how to fix our problems?" Vi stormed towards her and jinx flinched away putting her hand up to protect herself.

"You're nothing but a fuckin traitor," she spat and grabbed jinx's collar to lift her off the ground.

"Fuck You! You abandoned me! Milo, claggor! You all left me!" Jinx kicked but her feet were off the ground. Vi slammed her to the wall and kneed her in the stomach, it wasn't hard but powders scream was loud, not realizing she hit her in the bruised ribs.

"Get off of me!" Jinx scratched at her wrist but she was more afraid of what could happen. Like a cat backed into a corner.

"I thought you died, I'm not going out looking for a corpse, it's not always about you," vi threw her again as Silco backed from the fight.

Jinx hyperventilated staring at vi, she grabbed her gun quickly and held it at her. Vi smacked it from aiming but powder still had it in her hand.

"I grieved for the last person in my family, I grieved for powder, I don't know who the fuck you are," vi stood over her.

Jinx trembled but she had rage and hate in her eyes looking up at her.

"Run," vi whispered when she grabbed her sister once more.

Vi let out a battle cry and threw powder out the window.

"VI!" Powder screamed as she flew out the broken window.
