Hey everybody, after this chapter im aiming for 5k words a week! Also as far as things stand right now i'm hoping to make this a roughly 200k word fan-fic due to the fact there's only one Jinx story that hits that milestone. You may notice a severe lack of Caitlyn pov but its coming! Right now i'm focused on Jinx and Vi and how they interact. Dak Hamee, wonder if that makes Jinx jealous? ShiftySpot, heres more of this ;) Thanks for reviewing!
(Still looking for beta readers)
Review for me?
6:00 am The next day
Vi had just woken up in her freezing apartment. Reluctantly she got out from her mess of blankets that kept her nice and toasty throughout the night. Standing she looked out the window of her 2nd story apartment room and noticed how it had rained during the night. Snow was still on the ground but the Enforcer knew the roads had to be icey. After getting dressed she grabbed an apple and headed out the door for work.
7:00 am Piltover Sheriff's Department
Vi had taken two steps up the stairs that lead to the Department when she froze.
"Hiya FATHANDS!" Jinx hollered at the enforcer, Zap aimed directly at her. This is gonna be soooooooooo much fun! Jinx thought to herself.
"God fucking damn it" Vi grumbled under her breath as she turned around to face Jinx. She knew if she made a move to put on her signature gauntlets hanging on her back Jinx would put a abrupt end to that. "The hell do you want? You were starting to get my hopes up that you were gone for good"
"Awww come up Fats, you know i'd never leave you! We have way too much fun together to end out game! Besides, don't you know what today is?" Jinx asked, jittering up and down in excitement. She could barely control herself all the plans she made over the past week were finally in motion!
Vi sighed. She thought back to when she first joined the force. Everything had been so peaceful, with occasional bust and the C case. She usually found herself bored with nothing to do for days on end. That was until Jinx showed up, then everything changed. Buildings reduced to rubble, public facilities graffitied, and non-stop harassment from the bluette. Since then Vi rarely had any down time, she always found herself hunting down the blue haired girl while Caitlyn gained intel. She'd never admit it to anyone but, she enjoyed chasing the demolitionist. Though she wanted nothing more than to knock that shit eating grin off Jinx's face with a left hook and throw her scrawny ass in jail til the end of days, deep down she dreaded Piltover returning back to its boring ways.
"Hey Fathands? HELLO, anyone in there?" Jinx shouted at the enforcer, waving Zap in the air. "I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!"
What was it she wanted again? Something about what day it was, right? "Uh its Tuesday?" Vi said recovering from her breif space out.
"Oh. My. God. YOU DONT KNOW?!" Jinx shouted, her lower lip beginning to tremble.
The commotion outside had first drawn the attention of one officer who then proceeded to alert the rest of the force. Within minutes two or more officer were visible in every window of the Police Headquarters. All weapons loaded and trained on the blue haired woman.
"Jinx listen, I really don't know what is so special about today ok? Now are you gonna shoot me or can I go inside, its fucking cold out here." Vi said gritting her teeth together, using up all the "diplomatic resolutions" BS that Cait had taught her.
"Fine. Be like that" Jinx said, her voice at a whisper. I cant believe she forgot. Maybe Fishbones was right, Vi does hate me. At that though Jinx's head drooped down, her gaze on her black combat boots. She holstered Zap and reached behind her pulling out a small cube shaped metal container. After a quick check she threw it at the ground as hard as she could and took off sprinting, tears in her eyes.
Vi watched Jinx with awe as she lowered her weapon and just left. When Jinx threw the cube at the ground Vi snapped to her senses and ran to the top of the stairs, taking cover behind one of the pillars supporting the front of the building. She braced for an explosion that never came. After waiting a few minutes of waiting to make sure nothing was going to explode, Vi peeked around the was gone but the metallic cube was still ther. What the hell is that? Vi thought.
After doing a quick sweep around Vi called an "All Clear" out to the officers and began walking down the steps toward the object.
"Vi! What are you doing?!" A rookie officer, Roland, shouted.
"I'm wanna see what the hell Jinx dropped" Vi responded, feeling a bit irritated. The fuck does he think i'm doing? Going for a walk?
"It could be a trap ma'am. Jinx seems to know you pretty well so she could be using your curiosity against you." Roland said.
Shit that makes sense. Vi thought as she put on her gloves and turned on her blast shield. "Thanks rookie" Vi hollered as she walked to the object. Vi neared it with caution while the entire force watched, tense. Vi reached down and picked it up and saw something that immediately caught her attention. On the top of the cube the words "Happy 6 months of fun! -Jinx" had been carved into the metal. She could now also see that the metal cube had a lid, after a quick shake Vi heard a little rattle and confirmed there was something inside the cube.
30 minutes later
Jinx sat alone on a rooftop looking over the edge. Down below she could see the friends and couple walking down the snowy streets together, having fun. Jinx was used to being an outcast, her psychotic tendencies made sure of that. Anyone she hung around with long enough that hadn't met an untimely death didn't care for her much. They either found her sense of humor annoying, or her seemingly never ending energy a bother, or her destructive manner caused people to fear/hate her. But then she met Vi.
When Jinx first met the Pink haired woman she was overjoyed! It was a warm summer day around noon, she had just finished attaching a rocket to a statue of the mayor of Piltover when she heard her.
"Listen squirt i'm feeling nice today, so how about you set down that detonator and I promise not to break your face. For the most part." Vi said, flexing the gauntlets on her hand.
Jinx had a quizzical look on her face, most cops around here just tell me to put my hands behind my back and come quietly, but this one wants to play! Its gonna be fun! With that Jinxed pressed her thumb into the detonator and took off at full sprint hollering "Catch me if you can" over her shoulder at the Enforcer. Vi only smirked back and took off after the girl. Since then Vi had always been fun to be around. Though she tried to pretend to be annoyed Jinx often caught her laughing at some of her hijinx.
Jinx's mind snapped back from the memory at the sound of police sirens right below her. As she looked down she saw some low life thug holding what looked to a store clerk hostage. The two officers (not Vi and Cait, much to Jinx's dismay) had their handguns trained at the crook. Jinx smiled finally something to cheer me up! She hoisted Fishbones up to her shoulder. "Hey Fishbones wanna blow something up"
"Wel-"
Jinx didn't wait for the reply as she sent a rocket at the police cruiser on the ground. Jinx fell onto her back in laughing as she watched all four people go flying due to the blast. The sound of clanking metal could be heard as the cop car returned to earth after the explosion sent it sailing into the air.
As soon as Jinx stopped laughing she felt her bad mood returning. Why didn't she remember? We have fun together, right?
"Jinx we need to have a chat" It was Fishbones.
"Why?" Jinx replied sounding irritated.
"Vi may enjoy chasing you but you can never be friends. She's a cop and you're a crook, if she ever got the chance she'd throw you in prison!"
Jinx whipped the rocket launcher off her back and threw it down onto the roof. A cascade of tears rolling down her face.
As Jinx continued to stand on top of the roof crying, two certain someones arrived on the scene. One very agitated Caitlyn and then there was Vi who was taking a very close look at her boots.
"Are you mad at me cupcake?" Vi asked sheepishly.
"Now why in the world would i be upset with you Vi" Caitlyn responded, her voice colder than the winter day.
"uh um" was all Vi managed to say before Caitlyn spoke again.
"Oh thats right, you forgot me this morning. And to make it worse Jinx showed up on our doorstep! We could have had her if I were there!" Caitlyn shouted.
As the Sheriff continued to yell at the Enforcer, Jinx recollected herself from her breakdown. She heard voices coming from below
"Dont you cupcake me!"
"But cupcake"
Were they here?! Jinx's mind raced. She looked over the edge to make sure, but just as she did so Vi happened to look up.
After Vi recovered from the shock of seeing the loose cannon looking over the edge of the roof Vi called out "Jinx! We need to talk!"
"Get away from me" was all the response Jinx gave before backing away from the edge, out of Vi's sight.
"VI! I've got the sewers you try and catch her on the roof tops. LETS GO!" Cait shouted as she took off running.
Vi sprinted towards the nearest staircase but there was no thrill in this chase, her mind just kept replaying Jinx's last words. Vi suddenly felt horrible, she had caused Jinx a different kind of pain than usual. A kind of pain that doesn't just go away. Vi had no intention of arresting Jinx in this chase. She just wanted to apologize, especially after what was inside the metal cube came to mind.
