As she stared longingly through the glass that made up the right wall of the office, Vi reflected that she had always had a problem with authority. Stemming primarily from the fact she didn't like to be told what to do. Azure eyes scanned across the Piltover city skyline, focusing on a flock of birds soaring leisurely above the skyscrapers that dominated the city of progress. Her eyes narrowed at the birds, sure that they were flaunting their freedom just to reinforce the bleakness of her current situation. Begrudgingly she tore her eyes from the summer scenery outside, though refusing to lift her head from its current position pressed against her right palm.

Not only was she comfortable, she also did not want to alert the other person in the room to the distinct lack of paperwork being completed in lieu of contemplating a daring escape through the window and into the bustling city below the Piltover police department. Daydreaming brought a glazed look over the enforcers face, as she imagined storming over to the desk of the sheriff, shoving the piles of paperwork onto the floor and demanding that they go get ice cream right now. Followed by her boss jumping into her arms and saying "I thought you'd never ask" with a cloying look just before Vi used her gauntlets to destroy the window then jump out onto the roofs of nearby buildings to parkour their way down into the city below.

"I beg your pardon, but you don't appear to have completed much of your assigned papers" came a curt and clipped voice next to Vi's right ear "If any at all..." Vi was drawn back to earth much the same way she did everything, with a crash. She turned to her right only to find Caitlyn, the famed sheriff of Piltover towering and glowering over her with her arms crossed and a finely manicured eyebrow daintily raised. The expression was one that Vi found herself increasingly familiar with, it meant danger. In a vain attempt to defuse the situation, she decided to feign ignorance, a bold strategy.

"Hey you" she greeted with a charming smile "I was just trying to understand what this question here means, you know I'm still learning the lingo" finishing with an exaggerated sigh and a thrust of her hands behind her head. "Terminology" stated Caitlyn, Vi looked up into her face and raised her own, much less groomed, eyebrow "huh?" she replied with a scrunch of her nose, her very own confused face. "Lingo is a colloquial term, the correct word to use is terminology"'

Vi stared up into Caitlyn's face, trying to ascertain whether she was being serious, for some reason the Sheriff had taken a dislike to her 'vernacular' and had become a walking and talking thesaurus. While she was far easier on the eye than an ordinary book, the reaction from Vi remained the same to both, which was incredulous silence and a scrunched face. Caitlyn sighed and leaned over the paperwork at question, quickly scanning it in attempt to glean what Vi had become confused by. Her eyes darkened and narrowed as she turned to face her partner in countering crime "What precisely were you confused by in this question?" she queried drawing her face level with Vi's.

For the first time now Vi glanced at the paper on top of the pile and was utterly dismayed to find it was an almost blank page with only two questions on it. "Were you unsure of your name or your rank...?" Caitlyn questioned through gritted teeth, her eyes remained fixed on Vi, who was currently attempting to exchange souls with a spider underneath her desk. Vi scowled as this proved fruitless and chanced a glance up into Caitlyn's face, which was thunderous. The enforcer sighed inwardly, accepting her fate and offered an almost sincere "I'm sorry I got distracted, I'm just so bo-'" wincing at how close she had come to saying the word that would be sure to get her a lecture like no other, "-thered by how nice a day it is outside." What a save, internally she had a congratulatory high five, chancing her eyes upwards at Caitlyn, only to find the other woman smiling. It wasn't her manufactured polite smile for acquaintances and colleagues, nor was it her relaxed and casual one, much to Vi's dismay it was not even the cocky smirk often seen on the rift.

Prior to becoming half of Piltover's finest, for every problem Vi faced, her proven solution was always to punch and beat the shit out of it wherever she could. Unfortunately for Vi, the biggest problem she faced in her daily life following Caitlyn's offer of a job, was the lady herself. Whether it was a lecture on how swilling out a cup did not qualify as washing it, or the stern glance she received whenever she came to work a bit hungover, it was apparent that Caitlyn liked things to be just so. Unfortunately for the both of them, Vi liked things her own way too, and they were both exceptionally stubborn. Her issue therefore was that no matter how much she sometimes wanted to punch a Caitlyn shaped hole out of her life, it really wasn't appropriate. Not only as it would probably not be best to batter your boss, but also because Caitlyn was quickly becoming a great friend, despite her many flaws.

Vi tried to remind herself of this as she braced for the verbal onslaught she was to receive, if this were one of her comic books, Caitlyn would be sure to have steam coming out of her ears. Caitlyn stared into Vi's eyes, a painful looking imitation of a smile affixed onto her face and whispered "Pray tell, why are we inside completing a mountain of paperwork on such a lovely summers day?" Before Vi had the opportunity to open her mouth Caitlyn answered herself with a sarcastic "Oh that's right, it is because a particular pink haired enforcer decided that in order to stop a bank heist, it was completely necessary to not only smash through three walls, but also to tear the vault door off its hinges and use it as a battering ram."

Vi winced at how the other woman's tone had not only sharpened during the exposition but how her voice had raised and her face remained so close to Vi's that she could hear her rapidly exhaling. Having their faces so near to one another, Vi could not help but think of exceptionally naughty things, as Caitlyn's chest heaved and her lips remained parted. Vi had always been attracted to women, from puberty onwards at least, and was particularly forthcoming about being a lesbian. Since joining the Piltover police department, she often found it difficult to concentrate on issues like protecting and serving the people, primarily because so many attractive women also worked with her. None more so than the sheriff herself, she was well endowed in certain places and was gorgeous, not to mention she spent most of her time around Vi agitated, which was fast becoming a real turn on.

Vi realised that she ought to say something, possibly in defence of herself or even just downright apologetic, regardless, Caitlyn was waiting for a response, becoming more frustrated by the silence. Her eyebrow arched as Vi took the risky route of defending herself "Hey, I was just worried about the people that were trapped in the office, it was only the two of us and I wanted to use the element of surprise" she stated surely, crossing her arms defiantly at her partner and staring back into dark brown orbs that narrowed with her statement "If I hadn't acted quickly, one of the hostages could have been hurt.'

The two continued to stare at each other defiantly until Caitlyn finally pulled further from Vi and grabbed the bridge of her forehead with her fingers responding with" I know Vi. I know. I appreciate your quick thinking in helping to secure the hostages, they were the main priority as you well know. I just wish you weren't so reckless in damaging property to apprehend the suspects. It makes the amount of paperwork we have to complete afterwards almost unbearable." Caitlyn flicked through the stack on Vi's desk, placing each sheet down after explaining precisely what they were "Accident reports. Property costs. Civilian lawsuits. Arrest papers" she sighed and stared out of the window looking positively forlorn.

The enforcer stared after the sheriff, trying to contemplate the behavioural 180 she had just witnessed, beginning to feel apologetic she decided to stand up from her seat behind the desk and join the other woman. Placing her right hand on her shoulder, Vi sighed and admitted "I know. I am sorry. I suppose rushing in without thinking isn't always great" she moved to face Caitlyn and put both her hands on the brunettes shoulders "just, you know, paperwork really sucks. I didn't realise when I signed up to being the enforcer, that I would have so much of it to do." When Caitlyn looked up into Vi's face she was surprised to see that she was being sincere in her apology, an assessment made easier not only because the sheriff was an excellent detective but also because Vi wore all her emotions on her face.

Upon self reflection, Caitlyn had realised that she was being a touch sharp towards Vi. The enforcer, whilst being unpolished, always meant well, and was probably as tired as herself. To be brutally honest, she felt shattered, they had been on the night shift together and spent most of it on stake out for a wanted fugitive, which was always tiring. Around eight in the morning, just when they had decided to head home, there was contact about an emergency hostage situation at the bank. Fortunately no one was harmed in the cessation of it, however it was an hour before they could head back to the quiet of the office. Here they had sat for the better part of three hours completing the necessary after action reports, well Caitlyn had anyway.

Vi looked so downtrodden that Caitlyn could not remain angry or even frustrated at the other woman. Even though, she reflected, the amount of paperwork she had to complete had nearly quadrupled since Vi joined the police department. Which had in truth only been a few weeks ago, she supposed that going from a lone wolf vigilante mindset to becoming a responsible police officer had to be difficult. Caitlyn sighed and did something that was quite foreign to her and moved closer to Vi and embraced the other woman in a close hug. As she wrapped her arms around the midsection of the much taller woman, Vi seemed to come out of a trance and was absolutely dumbfounded to find herself in this situation. She had been berating herself internally for thinking that she could ever become a police officer, being too brash and 'ill-mannered' to quote the woman now embracing her.

For failing to even begin any of her assigned tasks since they had come back from the bank heist, armed thugs with crowbars were no real difficulty for her, Vi was sure she was to be given her marching orders. She was exhausted from the day and absolutely buzzing with adrenaline following the successful rescue of the hostages and the capture and arrest of all the perps. The last thing she wanted was to sit in the office they both shared and spend an eternity completing paperwork, though she kind of understood it was necessary, almost. Her arms had been pressed against her sides in shock at the personal contact, something neither of them had much experience with, but now she brought them up and wrapped Caitlyn in a bear hug.

The two women embraced for a short time before Caitlyn broke apart and smiled at Vi before exclaiming "Now then, how about a compromise? I have already completed all my work for the day" at this, Caitlyn crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at Vi, though in a much more jovial manner than earlier. "if I assist you in finishing the rest of the paperwork, we can leave as soon as it is done and take the rest of the afternoon off?" Vi was positively beaming at the suggestion and already planning what flavours of ice cream she would try, which would be all of them, naturally. "If" Caitlyn interjected, barging into Vi's ice cream fantasy "you make a conscientious effort to be less destructive, especially during arrests, and complete the necessary paperwork assigned to you."

Vi gave an impression of contemplating the offer, though she was very keen on leaving the office and going literally anywhere else, she supposed that she should probably reign it in a little with the excessive damage and it was only fair to split everything evenly with her partner, including filing. She narrowed her eyes staring out the window and tapping her finger on her chin, her face a portrait of deep thought, sighing, she turned to face Caitlyn who was staring at her with an arm resting on her hip and a relaxed smirk on her face. "Okay, I'm in, but only if we can get ice cream" stated Vi, her ultimatum laid bare, the brunette struggled to maintain a serious visage and let out a small involuntary giggle, which she ceased immediately.

Vi for her part, figured that she had imagined the giggle, it being so out of the ordinary for her boss to act in such manner. She heard no objections and so set to work, throwing herself on the chair behind her desk, she pulled over the first sheet and began the rigorous process of filling in her name and rank. Caitlyn was still standing close to Vi and took the opportunity of her colleague being engrossed in after action reports to watch her for a short time. Vi was something of an enigma to Caitlyn, though by her own admission, the sheriff was an exceptional detective, with analytical reasoning to rival the top scientists in Piltover, of which there were many. Sometimes, for example, when Vi had destroyed an entire café attempting to trap Jinx within the rubble, Caitlyn struggled to remember why she had offered a job to the woman in the first place. Especially when her superiors within the police department often felt that the cons of her aggressive policing style far outweighed the positives.

Occasionally though, and far more frequent lately, Vi would do something that would surprise the sheriff. Such as fetching her favourite cupcakes when she was forced to work during her lunch so they could share them, or offering to walk Caitlyn home after a particularly late shift, even though it was not remotely close to Vi's apartment. She smiled, walking over to Vi's desk to grab a chunk of the work remaining, before taking it over to her own and getting stuck in. She supposed it might be nice to take the afternoon off and spend it walking around the city with Vi, at least she wouldn't be bored. With a final glance at Vi, who was evidently deep in concentration, her tongue was poking through her lips as she attempted to make sense of the 'lingo', Caitlyn began writing in amicable silence with a smile on her face.
