The air was clean and cold as the heat from the sun began to slowly leave for the night. The chilly winds clawed at the skin of the pale woman who was sneaking around the city, making her long blue braids go into the air behind her as she dashed from one place to the other. She usually didn't go for the stealthy approach, but tonight was somewhat special it seemed. Besides, her sneaky act would only last until she got onto the roof of the new Piltover Bank that had finally finished being built. She had waiting months for them to finish so she could enjoy destroying it once it was completed.
She began to climb quickly up a ladder, her minigun and rocket launcher making a slightly more difficult to make the climb. When she reached the top she smiled widely and looked down, at the bank she was targeting. The plan was a simple one really, use a device she had recently stolen to land safely on the roof of the bank, bust into it, then plant explosives all over and then manually blow them up while getting a nice view from a little ways away.
"Isn't this gonna be fun fishbones? Oh I can't wait to blow this place up!" She shouted with excitement, throwing out the device on to the roof below. When it landed it created something similar to a trampoline so she could safely jump down. She quickly jumped down arms and legs in the air, giggling frantically as she made her way to the trampoline. She landed sitting down, quickly bouncing up and landing on her feet.
She looked at the roof and took out a grenade, preparing to pull the pin and blast into the bank when a voice stopped her.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Someone asked her, clearly a guy. Ew, guys are gross what does he want? She turned in the direction of the voice, zap gun out and aimed at the guy. He was tall and had black hair that wasn't too long. He had a muscular figure but he wasn't huge, he looked like her was fast but strong as well. "If you pull that the police will be all over you idiot." The guy scolded her, walking up and taking the grenade out of her hand.
"Excuse you!" She slapped his hand hard, taking back her grenade. "Who the hell are you anyway? No one bosses me around!" She poked his stomach with her finger, it felt like she poked a wall.
"A guy who's apparently saving you from life in prison. Not something I typically do but there's a first time for everything, right?" He slightly grinned at her. "The name's Chris." He put his hand out to Jinx. She stared at his hand for a few seconds, then looked up at him suspiciously. He shrugged. "I won't bite, we're both criminals right?" Jinx looked back at his hand and shook it.
"I guess so. I'm Jinx." She smiled at him.
His jaw dropped. "You're Jinx? You've got an insane rep in piltover, did you know that?"
She shrugged, "I did but I don't deserve one. Why is it such a big deal if I blow up a building? There aren't people in there all the time." She pouted.
"Ok, we're getting off topic a bit, are you gonna blow this place up?" Chris asked.
Jinx rolled her eyes. "Duh, what does it look like I'm doing here?"
Chris frowned, "I see your point. Look, I'm here to steal some of the cash that's in here so how about you wait a bit before blowing it up?"
She stomped her foot on the ground like a child throwing a tantrum, then sighed like an annoyed teen. "But I've already waited soooo long!"
Chris put his hands up, gesturing for her to calm down. "Ok, ok. Give me 2 minutes to get in and get out and you can do whatever you want to this place. Deal?" Jinx looked at him, annoyed.
"I guess. I'm going in too to set up my bombs though."
"Are you sure you should-" Jinx pulled fishbones over her shoulder and pointed him at Chris.
"Stop talking."
"Okay, Okay. Let's get in"
Christ took something that looked like a small gun from his belt and aimed it at the ground. She pulled the trigger and it shot out a small concentrated beam of light, piercing through the roof and eventually making an entrance into the Bank. He looked at Jinx and jumped in, Jinx following directly after.
Once they were both inside Jinx started to giggle and throw her bombs all around the building, sometimes placing a few of them together in clusters.
When she threw out her last bomb and turned to see Chris running out of the Vault, a few seconds to spare with a very large bag on his back. He gestured up to her and pulled out a grappling hook, shooting a rope to the hole in the ceiling. They both made their way back onto the roof and looked at each other.
"Thanks for waiting, I appreciate it. I would usually leave without saying anything but you've always interested me. The way you blow stuff up, no remorse or thought of the consequences. I think it's really cool." He grinned at her again.
She smiled. "Thank you Sir. Always nice to meet a fan!" She let out a giggle and began looking around. "We should probably look for somewhere to go. Oh!" She turned to Chris. "Wanna watch the explosions with me? It'll be fun!"
Chris looked taken aback. "Really?"
Jinx nodded with a loud mmhmm.
"Alright then, I'd lov-"
They both froze instantly at the sound of something all too familiar. They could hear police sirens headed towards them.
"Not good." He muttered, running towards the end of the roof, gesturing to Jinx to follow.
"What? It's probably just Fat Hands and Hat Lady."
"That's more than enough reason for me get out of here. Come on!"
Jinx smirked. This might be fun, I guess I'll go. She ran and jumped off the roof, following Chris. She regretted the decision as soon as she jumped, seeing it was a far way down.
"Shit!" She yelped as she began to fall. She closed her eyes in anticipation of hitting the ground, but never did. When she opened her eyes she had landed safely in Chris's arms. She pushed away from him and stood back up. "Thanks!" She shouted over the sirens and they both continued to run quickly away from the bank.
Chris sighed in relief. "Thank god, looks like we got out safe." Jinx nodded in agreement, not caring either way.
"Stop right there." Virtual voices called from behind them. They looked back to see 5 police bots chasing after them, and catching up.
Jinx shot behind her with her zap gun, knocking one of them over. Chris took out 2 handguns from behind his back where he had his holsters and began to shoot behind them, hitting a few of the bots. There were only two left. Jinx threw out a small grenade, making a small explosion and destroying the remaining bots.
"Sweet! We got them!" Jinx jumped in the air as she ran to display her happiness, not expecting the appearance of yet another obstacle. Vi came to a screeching halt in front of them, blocking their path.
"Hold it there assholes!" She shouted, aiming a punch at Chris. He smoothly leaped into the air and over her fist, landing behind Vi. She then went for Jinx. Vi dashed for Jinx, attempting to grab her. Jinx ducked beneath the fat hands of Vi and shot her in the chest with her zap gun, disabling her for a moment. Her armor protected her from most of the damage. Chris finished the defense with a kick to Vi's back, knocking her on to the ground.
"Let's go!" He called to Jinx. She sighed and continued following him. They turned a corner and found themselves in an alley. A dead end. They could hear Vi coming back after them. Chris grabbed Jinx's arm and pulled her with him, he jumped into a broken window with Jinx behind him. They both got a couple scrapes but made it into the abandoned building.
"She'll still find us idiot!" Jinx whispered at him, punching him in the chest, hurting her hand a little.
"Blow up the bank!" He whispered back quickly.
"Oh, yeah. Forgot about that." She reached into her back pocket and pulled out something with a button on it. She pressed the button hard.
Chris shrunk a little at the sound of the explosion, the volume of it throwing him off. Jinx wasn't phased by it in the slightest.
Chris relaxed, leaning against a wall as he was low to the ground, breathing heavily.
Jinx just smiled at him. "You're pretty fun!"
