My enemies
Late in the night where it was closer to morning than midnight, vi stuck around at the counter as Milo was cleaning the bar and glasses. They didn't speak much these days but there was a tolerance instead, vi had a heart still for a boy she grew up with, but she wasn't his babysitter. Milo did his best to try not pissing her off and pouring her drinks to keep her from going off on a rage.
They were in comfortable silence, listening to the music from the old jukebox, vi watched her ice melt at the bottom of her glass over the past hour, sipping a little of the water and liquor mixer.
Till the door slammed open and the pink hair girl looked over her shoulder curiously.
"I'm going to kill her, she's dead," sevika stormed in mumbling to herself.
"Nice of you to stop in?" Vi scoffed seeing it was sevika. Not phased by the woman who looked beyond pissed. Milo could sense how angry she was and took his clean glasses off the counter.
"Who the hell is that fucking maniac?!" Sevika slammed her fist on the counter next to vi.
"Did you get out smarted on a gamble?" Vi rolled her eyes.
"Did either of you see a blue hair scrawny bitch?" Sevika looked back and forth at Milo and vi knowing the boy would crack.
"What are You blabbing about?" The younger woman whined annoyed by her.
"We don't know what you're talking about?" Milo's voice shook a little, just as confused.
"Calm your freak tits and just tell me what happened," vi tsked and tapped her glass for Milo to fill it. He looked at her and poured water instead, giving her another look as in 'stay on your toes she seems unsteady'. Vi gave a small nod understanding.
"There was this little runt that played a hand in the game, she acted like it was her joint and shit, then she mentions vander sent her," sevika sat down still enraged.
Vi dropped her glass on the counter, the water spilt everywhere.
"Excuse me?" Milo glared at her now.
"Yea I know, she ran before I could teach her a lesson but she trapped me, knocked me out and tied me up, she's slippery, sneaky, but she ain't from around here," she shook her head and touched her robotic arm.
"Fucked with my arm, now it doesn't move right, broke the shimmer," she winced a little.
"Who the fuck is using vander good name?" Vi sneered at her standing up.
"That's what I want to know, I want this bitches head on a silver platter," sevika stayed sitting.
"Her name?" Vi glared.
"Jinx,"
Milo's heart skipped a beat. He felt sick.
"Never heard that name," vi frowned.
"I'm gonna find her, that girl is as good as dead, I'm going to tear that laugh from her throat," sevika curled her fists.
Vi scoffed shaking her head and left the bar now in a fowl mood. There was something uneasy about this girl jinx. She got sevika trapped and tied up? On the first try? The amount of times vi and sevika have gone head to head with each other, the bar fights they've created, on the streets, they've beaten the shit out of each other countless of times and it's been pretty even wins. But some scrawny girl got her on the first try.
Why?
Vi wanted to know this bitches business with vander.
She walked through a back door of the last drop and went down the dark hall. Knocking twice on the very back door.
"We got a problem," vi walked in.
Silco sat at his desk with a cigar in his hand. He looked up at her raising his brow and motioned her to sit.
"A problem you say? I assume you haven't handled it then," silco pushed his hair back, vi plopped in the chair in front of him, spreading her knees and resting her elbow on one.
"Well it's not an us problem yet, someone had sevika, someone's out for some vengeance, her names jinx," vi shrugged a little.
"Jinx? Jinx... doesn't ring a bell," silco tsked annoyed that this silly issue is now brought to his attention.
"Nope, but she said something weird, vander sent her," vi narrowed her eyes and watched Silco's reaction.
His expression grew cold and now was fully annoyed.
"Then kill her," Silco suggested.
"Love to but don't know who she is, sevika was the only one that saw her," she explained.
"Well this is a wonderful learning moment then, team work, get it done, before she becomes a bigger problem," silco hissed the order. Vi scoffed shaking her head.
"Scared of a little girl?" Vi crossed her arms.
"I'm annoyed that some girl is giving me a headache about the man I killed and my right hand is doing nothing!" Silco raised his voice at her and threw his glass to the side. Vi held her breath to not react.
"With those fire flies, topside and now a god damn jinx I need that one done before it turns into a preventable problem!" He yelled and vi pursed her lips. Pushing herself up and turned her back on him.
"Consider it done sir," vi rasped coldly as she left the office and slammed the door behind her.
Silco sighed leaning back and placed his arm over his eyes.
"No matter how hard I try, I just can't get rid of you vander, causing another fucking headache," Silco growled. Some girl that knew vander from the past is not what he needed right now.

Caitlyn walked around the same street that her and powder separated from, she checked to see if she was waiting at the pawn shop from earlier but claggor said he hasn't seen her either.
She took in the undercity as she studied the people, the way they spoke and interacted with each other. It was a whole different culture only miles away from piltover. She never would've guessed.
"What's a sweet thing like you doing in a place like this?" A familiar voice startled her and Caitlyn yelled turning around.
"Powder!" She gasped putting a hand over her heart.
"Miss me?" The blue hair girl smiled.
"Did you get what you needed?" Caitlyn asked ignoring her silly question.
"Ah no, but I think I made a statement, met silcos wing woman, sevika," powder locked her arm with Caitlyn's to keep her close.
"I think I also met someone that works for silco, vi, she runs the bar there," Caitlyn nodded.
"You met vi?" Powders gulped. Hearing her the words of the past, all the voices. All it took was her name.
"You know her?" Caitlyn asked.
"I-I know of her, claggor told me she's something of a character... what is she like?" Powder asked quietly.
"Aha she is... she's something alright," Caitlyn's cheeks flushed looking away. How would she describe someone like that. "She looks lost,"
"Lost? She's been here all her life I thought," powder didn't get it.
"I don't know, we just talked, she told me about how she's the muscle of the operation, but she didn't seem happy about it," she sighed a little feeling sympathy for the girl.
"Well who would be happy with being a puppet, but shit happens when you just go swinging every chance you get," the younger girl stuck out her tongue, Caitlyn pulled away from her and watched her.
"You know her also?" She caught her.
"Uhh no," powder lied.
"Powder,"
"Ok we might've known each other, I just never want to see her again," she put her hands up waving the officer off.
"And why?" Caitlyn raised a brow. "You obviously get somewhere when you see people you know,"
"She abandoned me when I had no one left," powder backed up a little, not wanting to tell the full truth about the past.
Caitlyn looked at her confused of how vi and powder as a child were before, what challenges there could've been, but then again if it's been that long she must've been a child herself. Wait- was she taking vi's side over powder? They weren't the best of friends but they've known each other since powder had been taken care of by Jayce.
"Let's just find little man, I don't wanna stay here much longer," powder grabbed the flare from her bag.
Caitlyn didn't bother to question her more about Vi.
"So my silly theories?" Caitlyn tried to offer a smile and powder groaned.
"Your silly theories are what is going to kill us, and if it wasn't for vander I wouldn't be involved," powder said smuggly but dropped her smile.
Caitlyn was about to ask who this vander man was, or what was so special about him but she caught someone looking at them and whistling to their group, motioning to them. No. To powder.
"Let's get a move on," Caitlyn nudged her but powder was already aware.
"Hey blue, you the one they lookin' for?" A woman whistled at the two girls and powder looked innocently confused at her.
"Who me? I don't know who could be looking for me?" Powder gasped softly putting a hand on her chest. An act that Caitlyn wanted to laugh at cause she's done the same thing to the enforcers.
"Your telling me this is the jinx?" A man cackled motioning to the girl.
"Jinx that sevika is so pissed about? Girl you really fucked up then," the woman smiled shaking her head but suddenly she was shot in the stomach.
Caitlyn froze in shock as powders gun smoke, she didn't hesitate to shoot the other zaunie. She looked at the girl wide eyed as powder looked calm.
"That's me, give sevika a big kiss for me," powder smiled with a wink.
"She shot me!" The woman cried out as her friend caught her and the others in the group grabbed their weapons. Powder clicked her gun to shoot again.
"Sevika said she didn't care if this girl was dead or alive, she's a dead girl already," another grabbed a pipe as a weapon and they started walking to the girls.
"Jinx lets go!" Caitlyn grabbed her wrist.
"Powder please!" She begged now and the younger girl finally moved to run with her. Grabbing some grenades from her bag and used her teeth to pull the pic, throwing them behind to create time.
"I'm sure Silco will be laughing about this later," the group laughed as they chased after the girls.
"Silco can swallow glass!" Powder yelled back smiling and ran ahead and turned a sharpe corner, yanking Caitlyn with and pulled her up to start going up the fire escape. She let Caitlyn go first to shoot down at the people that wanted to hurt them. She missed a few times but it still bought them time.
Powder crawled up the ladder and dropped another bomb down at the people. Caitlyn covered her ears at the loud sound and they backed away from the fire escape trying to catch their breaths.
"What was that?" Caitlyn panted as she was hunched over.
"Our escape?" Powder raised a brow as she adjusted her overalls.
"Powder You just shot and bombed them! You actually hit someone with your bullet!" She cried out.
"Duh? Don't have a gun if you're not willing to use it right," powder scoffed walking past with a hand on her hip.
"But you might want to cause we're in trouble," she looked down seeing back up was on its way.
