Closing her eyes in order to concentrate on not murdering the pink haired buffoon next to her, Caitlyn supposed that her current spate of troubles had occurred following their last match on the rift. It had been a resounding victory, as was often the case when Piltover's finest found themselves on the same team, however, her partners behaviour had became increasingly strange following the fall of the enemy nexus. Truth be told, Vi was acting like a woman obsessed, and it was bothering Caitlyn, who scowled at the thought and bit into her cupcake with unwarranted viciousness.

"Don't you think she is beautiful?" sighed Vi dreamily, staring unfocused into the sky, to which Caitlyn responded by scoffing and continuing to drink her tea. They were sat in the Piltover park, a place they often frequented considering it lay only a short walk from the police station. Sat on a bench, the two made a strange sight, Vi with her mechanical gauntlets pressed against her cheeks, elbows resting on her knees with a vacant smile on her face. Juxtaposed against her partners relaxed and dreamy posture, Caitlyn was sat with her back straight and her legs crossed tightly, clenching her tea cup so fiercely that her knuckles were white.

Vi sighed once again, a wide smile on her face, it appeared as if she was unaware of anything around her, so focused on whatever she was fantasising about, "Really though, she is so amazing, I wonder if she knows who I am?" pondered the enforcer. The woman next to her gritted her teeth and stated scathingly "you spent the better part of our match smashing her face into the ground, I am positive she knows who you are." Vi looked up startled "Oh Caitlyn when did you get here?" she was blissfully unaware of the ablaze brown eyes that had locked furiously onto her face at that comment, instead placing her gauntlets behind her head deep in thought.

The sheriff stared flabbergasted at the woman next to her, eyes narrowed in disbelief at the nonchalant manner in which Vi had disregarded her very presence. "Are you quite finished yet?" began Caitlyn in a dangerously low voice "we are supposed to be enjoying a pleasant lunch break together after a very busy morning prior to finishing the paperwork awaiting in the office. I dare say I am sick of speaking about her." Looking as if she had been electrocuted, Vi jumped up and wheeled on the now visibly shocked brunette "you're right, I should go to her" at this she patted Caitlyn on the shoulder and smiled broadly "thanks Caitlyn" before she ran sprinting from the bench.

"I didn't say anything remotely like that!" screamed the sheriff, who had stood up from the bench and stared after the enforcer with her hands on her hips. Watching perplexed as Vi tripped over a lone branch before leaping into the air ecstatic, Caitlyn sighed and grabbed her face in her hands. With her partner acting this completely insane there was no way she could leave her unattended, especially considering Vi had only just completed her probationary period on the force. A small growl escaped her and she quickly shouted "Vi, get back here right now!" when this had no reaction from the fool, who was by now running past a water fountain, she begrudgingly added "I promise to help you!" Vi appeared by her side as if by magic, a huge grin on her face before gleefully exclaiming "I knew you'd be there for me Cait."

Though Caitlyn would never have admitted it, she was slightly annoyed by the fact that Vi was using her real name and had been doing so since they had returned from the rift. Not that she enjoyed being called cupcake of course but it was irksome, and further proof that clearly something was wrong with her partner. "So what's the plan?" questioned Vi excitably, almost bouncing on the spot, to which the sheriff responded "follow me." Caitlyn stormed away from the park, seething internally, Vi followed giddily with a glazed look in her eyes.


"You lied to me!" cried Vi indignantly as the two of them arrived at the police station, the sheriff pretended not to notice her partners outburst and simply grabbed Vi's arm before pulling her through the front doors. "Why'd you lie to me? The love of my life is waiting for me" at this Vi gazed longingly out of the doors, Caitlyn jerked her towards the elevators a severe expression on her face. As they ascended in the elevator, Vi turned to the frustrated sheriff and pouted, before murmuring "I thought you said you'd help me", Caitlyn knew better than to look at the enforcer and her puppy dog eyes and continued staring straight ahead.

Once the doors opened onto the main office Caitlyn continued dragging Vi, storming past the cubicles, there was a wolf whistle and a call of "uh-oh someone's in trouble" that she chose to ignore for the time being at least. When they had entered the sheriff's office, Caitlyn locked the door and pulled the blinds down on the windows, ensuring privacy before facing the other woman with her arms crossed. "Vi, what the fuck is wrong with you?" the brunette nearly screamed, throwing her arms up in the air and pacing before crying "void take me now, I have no clue what is happening, now tell me, why are you obsessed with Ahri!?"

At the mention of the nine-tailed fox's name, a huge smile erupted on Vi's face and she sighed "isn't she wonderful" before placing her hand over her heart and continuing "why wouldn't I fall for her?" The sheriff was aghast at the sickening reactions of her partner, if this was truly what Vi was like in love then void help her, she stormed over to Vi before grabbing her collar and bringing their faces close. "You are hopeless" she snarled at the still dreamily vacant woman before exclaiming "we have a sheer mountain of paperwork to finish as per our bloody jobs! Snap out of it!"

"Caitlyn please don't be jealous, you should be happy for me and Ahri" spoke the enforcer defiantly, crossing her arms and turning to face the locked door. This meant she did not see the aforementioned woman turn a dark shade of red, before furiously storming over to her cabinet and taking out a bottle of Freljord Ironspike vodka. Slamming it onto the table, Caitlyn pulled out a shot glass from her draw and filled the thing, she downed it in one gulp before refilling and consuming another. Caitlyn did not even know it was possible to be this angry, she could feel her entire body burning with rage and indignation as she stood facing Vi with her arms leaning on her desk.

"I am not jealous" she exclaimed furiously, enunciating every word to drive the point home, Vi did not even turn before refuting "are too." Caitlyn was sure that one of her blood vessels had just popped, as the veins stood out in her neck and her face bore a terrifying rictus, surely Vi had not always been this infuriating. When all Vi heard was a sputtering noise in response to her childish comment, she looked over her shoulder at the sheriff before sorely wishing she hadn't.

Suddenly Vi was turned against her will and pressed with her back against the door by the much smaller woman, who seemed to be overtaken by complete rage. Caitlyn was forcing her gauntlets above her head and brought her own face inches from Vi's, this close the enforcer was able to smell the faint alcohol on her breath. "I am not jealous Vi. I am concerned about my partner!" she whispered harshly, though she knew that Vi could break free with her strength if not her gauntlets, it appeared the enforcer was shocked by the abruptness of her assault.

Eyes wide, Vi regarded the enraged brunette before her warily, all she had wanted to do was to be with her beloved, the enchanting fox, and now she was being harassed by her boss. Deep down she knew that Caitlyn was looking out for her, but something was muddled in her brain and all she wanted was to find Ahri and be with her. When a dazed smile spread across Vi's face once again, Caitlyn pressed their foreheads against one another and groaned loudly.

Pulling away from her clearly mentally damaged friend, she stormed over to her office phone and hurriedly dialled a number that might just be able to save her sanity. As the phone was ringing, she glanced over at the woman slumped to the ground with a silly grin on her face "honestly!" Caitlyn shouted over at Vi, who did not react at all. After what seemed an age, a chipper voice answered finally on the line with "salutations sheriff!" Caitlyn stared at her partner again before stating in all seriousness, "Professor I need help, something is wrong with Vi. I think she might be broken."


"Hmm...as far as I can deduce, the reactions of your friend are attributed to one particularly heinous cause" narrated the revered inventor as he examined Vi, who was strapped, wide eyed, into a large chair with sadistic looking wrist restraints. Heimerdinger pulled his goggles above his eyes and sighed loudly, before staring up into Vi's vacantly beaming face and shaking his head sorrowfully. Caitlyn was beside herself, having waited an already excruciating length of time during her walk to the professors laboratory, if by walk, one meant dragging a reluctant Vi along the busy streets.

When all the professor did was look at Caitlyn and sigh sorrowfully once again, shaking his head, she almost screamed at the infuriating yordle. "What's the matter with her?" she exclaimed fearfully, glancing between the serious face of Heimerdinger with his brows furrowed and Vi's stupefied grin that had once again crept upon her face. "I'm afraid that she is in a dire situation" the inventor began almost lecturing, noticing that the sheriff was gritting her teeth and about ready to shoot him in the face, he hurriedly added "the results were inconclusive, but it would appear that your partner is infatuated."

Caitlyn stared open mouthed at the mustached yordle's conclusion, before stating indignantly "well obviously" and gesturing over to the pink haired woman sat vacantly surveying the two of them. She continued with her hands on her hips and a raised eyebrow "my question to you is what on earth has brought it on, she certainly wasn't like this this morning." Vi raised her voice to interject "Um, I am sat right here you know, I can totally hear you", Caitlyn shushed the indignant enforcer and waved the comment away.

"From what I've observed, infatuation can occur almost immediately, I believe the term is love at first sight?" Heimerdinger responded, he was prodding Vi's mid section with a wrench, which earned him a loud "hey get off me!" and a frosty glare from the enforcer. Though Vi respected the intelligent yordle in Piltover for his hextechnical prowess, a rather loud part of her always cried for vengeance at all of the failed ganks he had caused her to participate in when they were summoned on opposing teams.

Narrowing her eyes, the sheriff spoke in a threateningly low voice "I am quite positive that is not the case professor", the small creature shrugged and wiggled his rather large eyebrows in response to her icy tone. "I don't know quite what you want me to suggest sheriff, I have ran the necessary tests and there is nothing physiologically wrong with your friend here. For all intents and purposes it would appear that she is simply enamoured with someone quite special." Heimerdinger spoke cheerily and meandered over towards Vi in order to release the wrist restraints during his monologue, much to Caitlyn's chagrin.

Vi almost jumped from the chair and immediately began to place her gauntlets back on with a grin. The revered inventor smiled up at the much taller woman and enquired jovially "so who is the lovely young lady that has so captured your attention?" A wide grin broke upon Vi's face and her eyes narrowed in triumph as she grabbed Heimerdinger's shoulders and shook him excitedly whilst exclaiming "she is gorgeous Heimer, her eyes are like the perfect shade of orange and she's so fierce ya'know."

Caitlyn was now thoroughly irritated, she could not believe that this was normal behaviour for her partner. Nor was she content to just accept that Vi had fallen for 'someone special' in Ahri, the two of them barely knew each other, only meeting occasionally on the rift. Unless Vi had been lying about her whereabouts and meeting in private than the sheriff really could not fathom how her partner had become so charmed by the nine tailed fox. What bothered her most of all was that the whole situation was really making her quite jealous, though she would certainly not have admitted that to the one meter tall professor. Glancing at the shaken yordle, currently still being man handled by Vi as she continued her speech on the virtues of Ahri, she caught his eyes and was almost certain from the knowing look he gave that he knew anyway.

'Thanks for giving me the all clear pops' stated Vi happily before stage whispering behind her hand 'I think Cait is a just a wee bit jealous' and pointing a finger towards her fuming partner stood with arms crossed. Perking up the tanky enforcer bound over to the door and quickly waved before disappearing through it with an echoing 'wish me luck!' 'Wait Vi!...' Caitlyn attempted to call after her, recognising it to be futile she shook her head and stared angrily at a speck of dirt on the otherwise clean laboratory floor. That was almost certainly Vi, that frustrating woman had no care for cleanliness or even basic manners, she just had no concern for other people, least of all herself, imagine not telling your best friend that you had fallen for some woman you didn't even know very well.

"Are you quite alright sheriff?" queried an unsure voice, tearing Caitlyn from her internal grumbling. She turned towards the professor, who was staring at her with what she assumed was a sympathetic gaze, had his goggles not been obscuring the vast majority of his face. Sighing she stated "yes, I am fine, thank you. I have a lot of paperwork to finish at the station, just not particularly excited about the prospect" she proceeded to take her rather large hat off and run her fingers through her hair, sighing loudly before pacing. "Especially not with Vi running off on some mad crusade to tell Ahri how she apparently adores her" began Caitlyn with a sour tone, narrowing her eyes and continuing "so basically my partner has lost what little mind she did have and now I'm doing double the work. Again."

"Hold on! What was that you said a moment ago?" shouted Heimerdinger hurriedly, waddling over at speed to the sheriff, who glanced at him surprised. "I'm doing double the work...?" she reiterated hesitantly, staring questioningly at the wide eyed yordle, who shook his head violently in response. "No prior to that statement, did you say Ahri?" questioned the professor whose voice had risen an octave higher than usual and a look of sheer panic had seized his face. Caitlyn stared back in confusion and nodded, to which Heimerdinger shook his head once more and grasped his hair fearfully before crying "Oh blast! No this isn't good."

The sheriff gripped his shoulders in order to still him and brought her face down to his before asking "what isn't good?" The professor closed his eyes in an attempt to concentrate and queried "are you familiar with Ahri?" at Caitlyn's shake of her head he continued whilst pacing "I have been matched against her many times, back when I was a 'viable' champion, I'm still viable just so you know, I just don't seem to be summoned as frequently as I once was...anyway" he shook the thought away. Then began wagging his finger at the air and spoke again "one of her strongest techniques is called 'charm' and using it causes an opponent to move towards her heedless of threat, usually at great cost to the charmed individual."

The sheriff paused in order to digest this new information and met it initially with a smug grin, of course Vi's affections had been caused by magic, she had known something was wrong. Processing the thought however she bore a confused stare "but wait..." she pondered "isn't that only possible on summoner's rift? Surely the charm shouldn't last beyond the match?..." Heimerdinger nodded furiously and replied "Yes it shouldn't, but if it has it would certainly explain a lot, magic doesn't leave a residue in a lot of cases so it is very hard to check for."

Caitlyn chewed her lip, eyebrows furrowed with worry as she contemplated her next move, clearly Vi was possessed by some strong magic and would be sure to seek out Ahri, hopefully they could find her first before she made an even bigger fool out of herself. Turning to the tiny professor she asked with a grin, "would you accompany me to the institute of war, professor?" to which the rather furry yordle smiled and nodded in response.


It was particularly obvious to Caitlyn that Vi was here, or had been at least, there were flower beds torn from their roots, evidenced by the rapidly decaying rose corpses littered across the pavement. Not only that but the confectionery shop, primarily for sweet toothed yordles, was missing a decent chunk of one of their walls, surveying the situation the sheriff shook her head and sighed loudly. "Not one for subtlety is she?" joked the professor, who chuckled at the sight of a shop keeper poking their head through the hole in the wall absolutely confused.

The sheriff stormed into the summoner's institute, arriving in the main foyer where the cheery receptionist greeted all who entered. Caitlyn had never minded Jocelyn, finding her a touch vacant and bimboesque, that is until she had came to the institute with Vi. Narrowing her eyes at the memory, she remembered how Vi had fawned over the blonde giggling receptionist, cracking out her best charming grin and flexing her arms. The pink haired enforcer could be such a lech, honestly.

"Good afternoon sheriff, professor" she smiled amicably at the two, albeit aware of Caitlyn's tense posture and enquired "can I help you?" Getting straight to the point, Caitlyn placed both her hands on the welcome desk and leaned over the beaming receptionist, a perfect imitation of her interrogation technique. "Have you seen Vi at all?" she questioned, her voice clipped, Jocelyn raised an eyebrow at the tone and responded airily "Maybe...why? is she in trouble?" The sheriff bristled internally but smiled politely in response before stating through gritted teeth "no, I would just like to know whether you have seen my partner."

Heimerdinger observed the strained exchange with curiosity, glancing between the two women as they faced one another with clearly fake smiles. He had just opened his mouth to remind Caitlyn that time was short when a high pitched giggle he was all too familiar with suddenly interrupted his thought process. All three turned in the direction of the giggle only to find Vi and Ahri walking through a set of doors leading from the residential quarters. Vi was positively beaming, walking with a grin on her face alongside the enchanting fox, who covered her mouth with her hands and continued giggling at whatever had been previously said.

How dare she? Thought Caitlyn fiercely, not only had Ahri enchanted Vi to fall for her, for goodness knows what reason, but now she saw fit to flaunt her around the institute like a love sick puppy. Her teeth ground together and her hands balled up into fists as she stormed over to the two of them, before she could call Ahri every name under the sun however, the aforementioned woman turned to face Caitlyn with a grin.

"Hello...Caitlyn, is it?" queried Ahri with a charming smile and wide eyes, the sheriff narrowed her own dark eyes into slits and replied with a tense question of her own "yes it is. Could you perhaps tell me why you have charmed my friend here into acting like a complete lovesick fool?" Ahri's tails swished hesitantly though her smile remained fixed, she regarded the very frustrated sheriff with a cool stare however her eyes were crinkled with mirth.

Vi barged in between the two women, staring angrily at Caitlyn and crossing her arms before exclaiming "come on now, there is enough of me for the both of you." She glanced threateningly between the two women until her face broke into a huge grin, leaning in to whisper into Caitlyn's ear "I'm not charmed any more cupcake." The sheriff turned her face quickly towards Vi's out of shock, to both the statement and the use of her nickname once again, only to feel the enforcer's nose pressed against her own.

She had not been aware of just how close Vi was to her when she turned suddenly, silence was truly deafening, all Caitlyn could hear was the thudding of her heart as its pace quickened and the rush of blood that accompanied a not unwelcome burning sensation throughout her body. She found herself unable to move or even summon a coherent thought as her brain went into meltdown, amber met azure as their eyes locked. Vi wondered how to react as her quite attractive partner was suddenly mere inches away and it appeared as if the sheriff had frozen with her mouth agape. The enforcer's eyes widened as she was almost positive that Caitlyn was bringing her face even closer if that were possible, soon she would be close enough that their lips would certainly have to-

"Ahem" a dainty cough intruded upon their momentary silence, leading Caitlyn to recoil hurriedly away from the stupefied enforcer, a fervent blush spreading across her cheeks. "Vi came to me earlier with chocolates and roses, which was a very sweet gesture on her part" Ahri favoured Vi with a smile while continuing her monologue, Vi for her part was still a little shell shocked from the close encounter but gave a shy smile in response. "I was surprised by the romantic gesture, even more so because I did not charm her."

The sheriff made an indignant sound of protest to which Ahri continued speaking "I didn't charm her, but it was my charm. Which I thought was rather strange, I spoke to the summoner's and it transpires that it was somewhat of a glitch. Just before our nexus fell this morning, I used my charm on Vi in an attempt to stop her from killing our jungler once again and it was still active when the match ended."

"Well then, how did you manage to remove the curse?" enquired the long forgotten yordle within the group, who glared at Ahri suspiciously, she turned to him with her tails bristling and replied coldly "I wasn't aware that being charmed by me was a curse, professor." Heimerdinger chose to ignore the way she had spat out his title as if it were an insult and stated matter of factly "having your self control removed and being controlled like a puppet is indeed a curse, one you are quite proficient in casting."

The sheriff watched anxiously as electricity seemed to crackle around the nine tailed fox, whose mouth had contorted into a snarl and orbs of energy appeared in her hands. Heimerdinger stood unfazed by the anger he had unleashed and remained still, pausing only to place a small turret on the ground. A strained silence followed as the two stood facing one another until finally a chuckle escaped the yordle "oh but I do loathe your charm, it's so frustrating in match ups." Ahri responded by staring incredulously at him before dissipating her orbs and laughing at the comment, replying "not nearly as frustrating as your turrets."

Piltover's finest watched as the two began bickering amicably, before Ahri seemed to remember his earlier question and answered with a sly shrug "I don't know how they managed to remove the charm, it would appear they have though." With that comment, the half fox winked at Caitlyn knowingly and giggled at the affronted glare she received from the brunette. "Would you like to discuss tactics? We could also get something to eat?" posed the bespectacled yordle to a genuinely surprised Ahri, who raised an eyebrow at him before replying with a smile "why not?"

Heimerdinger nodded at her response and began to meander towards the cafeteria, Caitlyn called a genuine "thank you for helping professor" after him, and he turned around beaming. The nine tailed fox coyly glanced at the sheriff before leaning in to peck Vi on the cheek and murmuring "thank you for the gifts." Ahri then strode towards the waiting yordle and they began conversing at great length about the changing role of mages. Vi was somewhat stunned by the kiss and stared after the enchantress, which meant she did not observe the thunderous expression on Caitlyn's face, nor the icy stare that followed Ahri as she left the room.

The enforcer rubbed the back of her neck unconsciously, as she often did when she felt embarrassed and shrugged apologetically at Caitlyn, who smiled at the familiar gesture. "Sorry cupcake, guess I haven't really been myself, can't say it's my fault though" Vi stated grinning at the brunette, who grinned back replying "I'm just glad you are back to normal, you were at least five times more frustrating than you usually are." Vi placed a giant gauntlet over her heart and threw her head back exclaiming "ow cupcake, ow", she cracked one eye open and peeked a glance at the sheriff who stood with her arms crossed.

When all Caitlyn did was raise an eyebrow at her theatrics and tease "don't worry, I've got something special in the office for you", the pink haired woman pouted prior to exclaiming "I've been under a spell all day, please don't make me do paperwork!" Vi dropped to her knees and begun pleading with her gauntlets raised in mock prayer, fast becoming a staple move of hers in order to get out of something.

The sheriff couldn't help the smirk that broke onto her face, she leaned in towards Vi and whispered into her ear "who said anything about paperwork" before pulling away and striding towards the entrance. A satisfied smile erupted as she heard the scramble of Vi jumping to her feet and running after her calling out "hey it's not the fuzzy cuffs is it?" Caitlyn turned to face her, noting smugly that Jocelyn was watching from the reception desk with a scowl and replied "I suppose you will just have to find out won't you?" finishing the statement with a wink.
