~Shorter chapter. Was working on it while waiting for Bright House to fix the internet.~
11:00 a.m.
"Thank you so much for coming on such short notice Soraka, the Starchild" said Caitlyn. After the short battle this morning, and the ending that resulted from it, the blue haired demon was in critical condition. After she was found, it was clearly visible of at least three broken limbs; bones protruding from her left leg and shoulder. She was cut up from head to toe from wooden splinters and shards from the glass. Her throat had gotten a minor cut, but one big enough for the bleeding to prove difficult to stop without medical assistance. Several deep gashes covered her back and stomach, and her eye had been caved in. On top of that, she still has yet to show signs of life, and Soraka, the Star Child, has been tending to her.
"It is of no concern or problem, Sheriff of Piltover. This is why I chose to leave my previous existence to join this one; to help those who need it." Soraka said with a smile.
Jinx had been moved, by Jayce since Caitlyn was too exhausted and they didn't think they should let Vi anywhere near her, to one of the larger prison cells in the station. It gave them enough room set up an I.V. and heart monitor, with extension cords leading into Vi's office that was around the corner and one door down. Vi needed to stay close to the cells in case anyone got any funny ideas about escaping or causing a commotion. Soraka was hovering over the still-unconscious Jinx, slowly moving her glowing hands from Jinx's head to her toes while chanting an incantation under her breathe.
Vi came around the corner and into the cell. She stared at the comatose girl. After a while, she looked over at Caitlyn and took a breath, "Why are we trying to fix her, just leave her in the cell."
"Because you nearly killed her with that fucking outburst of yours in the parking lot!" said Caitlyn, her voice raised and in a serious tone. "In fact if Soraka had not called in one of her own personal favors to get here fast enough, she might've been unhealable."
"What's the damn point, Caitlyn? You know how many times I have punched her, smashed her, thrown her, DUNKED her during our fights?! She survived all those beatings to come back a few days later, all wounds healed somehow, and with as much energy as before! The one time she's finally stayed down long enough for us to detain her and you want to try and quickly fix her up aga-" Vi was cut off when the Sheriff had heard enough.
"IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU, THAT INSTEAD OF DETAINING ONE OF THE WORST CRIMINALS OF THIS CITY'S HISTORY, THE DEPARTMENT OF PILTOVER, THE AUTHORITY THAT EVERYONE LOOKS UP TOO FOR PROTECTION, WAS SEEN BRUTALLY ASSAULTING AND ALMOST KILLING AN UNARMED AND SURRENDERED HUMAN BEING. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE WORLD THINKS OF JINX BECAUSE SHE WAS STILL GIVING HERSELF UP AND YOU WERE SEEN ALMOST KILLING HER BECAUSE SHE CALLED YOU A NAME! ON TOP OF THAT, IN CASE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN, ENFORCER VI, THE LOOSE CANNON IS STILL A PART OF THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS! IF YOU HAD ENDED UP COSTING JINX HER LIFE, YOU YOURSELF WOULD BE SENT TO TRIAL AND SENTENCED TO EXECUTION BEFORE THE REST OF THE LEAGUE! NOT TO MENTION YOU DELIBERATELY DISABLED THE LIMITERS IN YOUR GLOVES TO CAUSE THEM TO OVERLOAD DURING THE FIGHT, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU WERE ABLE TO STRIKE HER WITH THAT AMOUNT OF FORCE. THOSE LIMITERS WERE INSTALLED BY THE LEAGUE TO PREVENT YOU FROM HARMING THE OTHER MEMBERS WITH LETHAL FORCE OUTSIDE THE FIELDS, AND GUESS WHAT YOU DID?!"
"OK, OK, I GET IT, I FUCKED UP. BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION. THERE IS ONLY TWO PEOPLE WHO KNOW MY NAME. THAT'S You and…" Vi's voice trailed off. Caitlyn already knew what she was going to say. "Which means 1) She's the one or 2) That blue haired bitch somehow found her, or ..i don't know, got access to very personal files. Which means she's gone from taunting me during her rampages and in the fields with the fact I can't stop her or protect the goddamn city I turned my entire existence in life around and swore to protect, to digging deep into my life and grabbing personal information to really fuck with my life. She's already attacked you on several occasions to get to me, blown up my home, and now she's getting a hold of personal info about me, next thing she'll do is attack contacts of mine or other friends and family. I SNAPPED, ok?" The Enforcer's voice was shaking, and she could barely stand up. She held herself up a little against the bars of the cell and walked out in an almost trance like demeanor. She headed around the corner, and the sound of a door was heard closing. Caitlyn knew she had gone into her office. If that little punk thinks she is just going to give me some paranoid sob story and walk away from this, she's DEAD wrong.., thought Caitlyn. She stood to her feet and fixed herself into her commanding demeanor and started to head out the cell.
"Sheriff!"
Caitlyn stopped and turned her head ever so slightly to glimpse at the Star Child with one eye, "Yes..Soraka?"
Soraka's tone became one of confusion, "Something is not right with this one. I was able to heal her near fatal injuries, but it is as though something is rejecting my attempts to heal any further.."
Caitlyn fully turned to face Soraka with a curious look of her own. "What do you mean, rejecting?"
"I can feel some kind of force pushing my celestial magic away from this body. I am afraid I cannot do anymore for her."
"But she will live and can recover fully from this point, yes?" If Jinx could not fully recover enough to participate within the League's standards, Vi would still be strictly punished under the full extent of the League's laws. Caitlyn knew this.
Soraka stood and faced the Sheriff, "Yes, but I would like to request the help of another to determine what is causing this. I have a, what do you mortals call it, a hunch? Of what it could be, but it requires the aid of another League member.."
"Star Child, you have my full permission within the laws of Piltover to do what you see fit to get The Loose Cannon functioning again in time for the upcoming League of Legends season opening." And with that, Caitlyn walked out of the cell and towards Vi's office.
Soraka waited for the Sheriff to enter the office and close the door, then started chanting. Soon after, she stopped and opened her eyes to the ceiling. "Yes, it is me. I request your aid in Piltover. In exchange, I have been given permission to allow you to freely indulge in your.."hobby". Any repercussion will be handled by the authority of Piltover, I assure you. Do you agree to help?"
Silence..a few seconds later, Soraka smiled. "Excellent, I shall see you soon, Nine Tailed Fox."
