(October 6th 2015 – 7:10 PM – Piltover, Runeterra)
Someone whispered into the blond's ear, a girl and by the tone of it she was not too old or young, instead it was someone around his age. But there was a problem with that voice; Matt knew who it belonged to but he never wanted to meet the owner. As he turned slowly, the Summoner saw the girl's face; a pale tone in her skin and the pink-reddish eyes that were looking at him were horrifying. On her back there was a dark purple metal weapon that on the top end it had a mouth, like a shark , at her side another weapon, this one had bunny ears and was painted with a pink tone.
Matt expected almost everything; a bullet to the knee, a punch in the face, a big explosion; and that was something not out of the ordinary for the Loose Cannon. But the Zaunite did something different, she hugged him.
¨Oh Summoner, what took you so long to rethink about coming back to Runeterra?¨ The crazy girl moved her hands around the neck of the Summoner and jumped. Matt had no other option but to drop Heimerdinger's gift and hold Jinx with his hands, else she would fall ¨And you even hold me! Sometimes I think we should be together. But nooo, Hat Lady wants you for herself, like, there is something known as sharing¨
However the blond pushed the cyan haired who fell to the ground, in the meantime Matt grabbed the fusion core once again ¨I should leave, I… I should head somewhere else, somewhere… sane¨
As he turned, the Loose Cannon was already on the other side, how she managed to sneak up was a mystery ¨Come on! I'm pretty sure the Piltover's Lamest can wait a bit more¨ Jinx's eyes looked down at the item the blond was carrying ¨What is that? Is it a Core Fusion? I love making explosions using those!¨ The Champion grabbed the core from beneath and pulled it from Matt's hands, however she did not have the enough strength and as soon as she held it, Jinx almost fell to the ground.
¨Hey, give me that!¨ Matt tried to get the fusion core once again but the Loose Cannon stepped back.
¨Nu uh¨ She shook her head ¨If you want this thingy back, you have to do something¨
¨What do you w-¨ The earthling remained silent for a second ¨Oh no, I will not give you a kiss, you already know I am with Caitlyn¨ Matt stepped forward, trying to take the core back but Jinx gave a rabbit jump away from him.
¨Then I guess you will never get this thing¨ She turned and started to walk away, but she didn't left that alley, instead she turned once again with her maniacal grin ¨Or maybe there is something you can do…¨ Jinx dropped the fusion core into the ground and it created a loud metal noise. From her pants the Loose Cannon grabbed what appears to be a controller with a red button in the middle ¨I've been holding this thing for a while now, and I could not find the best moment to press it. But now, you are here and maybe have the guts to do it¨ Jinx placed the controller on the ground and with a slight kick she let it slide to the Summoner's feet.
Matt grabbed the controller and inspected it; nothing out of the ordinary except for the red button ¨So… I press it and that thing is mine again?¨ Jinx nodded ¨Well then…¨ His thumb went directly to the button but Jinx was able to pull it off from his hands.
¨Hey hey hey, not yet¨ The Loose Cannon walked to the pipe she slid from before ¨I want you to come with me, and do not even thing about grabbing that fusion core or I will have to use lethal force¨ She pulled the electric gun from her belt and aimed towards the blond.
Matt looked at the pipe, certainly it led to the roof of the four floor building but it was impossible for him to climb ¨I don't want to be the buzzkill here… but how are we supposed to get up there, I mean, we could go down but that is the only way I can-¨
Jinx hushed him as she changed her gun's aim to a ladder that was to her right, with just one trigger pull an electric bolt came from Zap and crashed onto the metal, making the ladder fall and creating a big thud sound in that alley ¨I may be crazy… but not that crazy¨ She then placed a finger in her chin ¨Ok maybe I am¨ She turned and started to climb the ladder.
¨The things I do in order not to get killed…¨ He whispered and shook his head before climbing the ladder.
Once on top of the roof, Matt had quite a beautiful view of the city; there were many apartments and shops as well, one of them a bank. Jinx sat at the border, her legs waving from left to right, the Summoner stood behind her, looking at all the people walking. The sky was already darkened and the sun already disappearing on the horizon.
¨Quite a view don't you think?¨ Jinx muttered.
¨Yeah… if only I was not held as a hostage¨ Matt crossed his arms ¨I need to ask this, why Piltover? You are from Zaun, you can always destroy things there¨
¨Oh blondie boy, I thought you knew about that saying: You don't shit where you eat¨ Jinx chuckled ¨The masked guy from your world taught me that. Besides, I knew Fat Hands before she joined the League¨ The Champion turned her head, eyeing at the Summoner who was not paying attention to her ¨I spied you ever since you came into the world, yet I still do not know why you are here¨
¨Is it really that important? Like, what kind of help can you provide?¨ He shook his head ¨Anyway, I'm looking for a little girl, it belongs to a friend's sister¨
¨Wait…¨ She stood from the border of the building and completely turned at the Summoner ¨Is that the same girl we kidnapped months ago?¨ Jinx shook his head, and gave the controller back to Matt ¨You know what, I am sure you have things to do, and so do I! So go ahead and press that button¨
The blond was already tired of being Jinx's `hostage´ but he was the one armed so Matt had to keep following her rules. The earthling rolled his eyes and pressed the red button on the controller, surprisingly nothing happened ¨What? You gave me a dud? That's it, I'm ou-¨
Matt got interrupted by an explosion that occurred at the other side of the street, most specifically in the bank. The doors were blasted open and the windows cracked instantly, on the roof a delayed explosion appeared, however this were not bombs, instead this ones were fireworks that lit up Piltover's skies with a pink tone. As the blond raised his head, on the sky a big X appeared as a result of the fireworks.
At the side of the Summoner, Jinx jumped in emotion and started to dance around him ¨You did it, you did it, Hat Lady is gonna kill you¨ She repeated with a cheerful but annoying tone ¨Maybe we can work together someday¨
¨Why do you do this?! Why do you have to break so many? I mean, nobody likes what you're doing¨ Matt dropped the controller and Jinx stopped singing and dancing.
¨You think blondie?¨ The cyan haired smiled ¨Everybody loves an outlaw, someone who is fighting against the system¨ She turned and opened her arms, contemplating all of her work ¨But you have to ask yourself, are you the kind of person who is in for the rush?¨ The Loose Cannon saw something in the streets and turned, facing the Summoner ¨If I were you I would take your fusion core and run as soon as possible. You do not want the Piltover's Lamest to find you here¨ The earthling turned towards the ladder and ran away from the roof, climbing down the ladder and into the alleyway, not before grabbing the fusion core that was laying there.
Matt walked back to the streets of Piltover, unlike before there was a lot of movement now, a lot of the citizens were standing before the burning bank and even more close to it there were cops that tried to avoid any of the viewers to get in range of the fire. He stayed for a minute, looking at the firefighters that arrived quite fast and tried to extinguish the fire.
¨Tricked so easily…¨ The Summoner whispered but before he left the place, someone was tugging his shoulder, as he turned the two female officers were standing behind him.
¨Matt, what are you doing here?! You should have been at the house about an hour ago!¨ Caitlyn said worryingly, her Summoner disappeared and never returned to her home so it was certain that she would be worried about him.
¨I…¨ Matt couldn't tell what he did, nor was talk anything about his meeting with Jinx ¨ … was going around the city, doing some exploring and that¨
Vi looked that more and more people were congregating around the burning bank ¨We need to evacuate this place now Cupcake¨ She turned at the sheriff ¨This was Jinx's doing¨
¨I will let you do that, in the meantime I will take Matt back to the house, report to me once you are done¨ Caitlyn grabbed the blond by the arm and the two of them walked away from the crime scene.
(October 6th 2015 – 8:40 PM – Caitlyn's house, Piltover, Runeterra)
The Sheriff and the Summoner arrived to the house, most of the lights were lit on, and nothing changed ever since they left. Caitlyn was now carrying the fusion core and placed it in her bedroom, she then returned to the living room where Matt was sitting in the sofa.
The blue haired sat at his side but none of them looked at each other ¨You met her right?¨
¨What? Who are you talking about?¨ Matt was still looking everywhere but the sheriff's eyes.
¨Matt, I know when someone is lying, and if I mentioned that you found Jinx, not only everyone that was there would try to kill you, but also Vi would be mad at you¨ She turned her head at the Summoner ¨And maybe you have not seen her, but trust me, you do not want to make her angry, at all in fact!¨
The blond turned as well, now their eyes were locked onto each other. Matt sighed in defeat and allowed his head to rest on the back of the sofa ¨I had no other option, I was her hostage¨ The sheriff rested her head on the earthling's shoulder.
¨There was no one in the bank by that time. Jinx may be crazy, but she does not kill people, it is not her style¨ Cait raised her head once again, and remember something ¨Wait here¨ She stood from the sofa and walked to her bedroom; from inside she brought a small bag and gave it to the Summoner ¨While you were out I bought this for you¨
Matt opened the bag and saw that there was a set of clothes in it; these ones were a white shirt with a dark purple vest and some black work pants ¨I… thanks? I guess?¨ He was unsure on what to say, it was a nice gift, but he never expected it.
¨Walking around Piltover with those clothes may not fit our style, so now you have something to put it on¨ Caitlyn smiled and sat once again at the side of the blond, she then grabbed the bag once again and pulled something out of it ¨Do not forget this¨ That something was a purple top hat, similar to the one the sheriff uses, although this one did not have the lenses or any similar modifications.
¨So basically I will be a male version of you¨ Matt chuckled while grabbing the top hat and placing in over his head ¨Let me try¨ He coughed ¨Boom, headshot¨ In an effort to imitate the voice of the Sheriff, he made Caitlyn laugh as well.
¨Not bad, maybe you can use one of my dresses and go fight the crime¨ She grinned.
¨Yeeeeeeaaahhhh… no¨ He shook his head but the moment Matt looked once again at the sheriff, this one placed fast a kiss on his lips, the blond then proceeded to grab the Champion by the waist and pull her closer to him, giving her a hug and leaving another kiss ¨Did I mention that I missed you?¨
¨Oh shut up¨
The two of them were happy now that they were reunited; and even if they had a problem to solve outside of Piltover, their faces showed tranquility and relax. They wanted time for themselves and live together without having to worry about Jinx, or the Void or even any other problem that may appear.
¨You know… Vi is still out there, maybe we can…¨ Caitlyn tilted her head, aiming at her bedroom.
¨I haven't been here for an entire day, however…¨ Matt smiled and grabbed the Sheriff's hands ¨… we wanted to try this ever since you were with me back at the Earth, but every time Vi just showed up and-¨
¨If you are going to have sex, I want to be part of it!¨ The Enforcer entered into the apartment, none of the two lovers noticed her loud footsteps.
¨VI!¨ They yelled at the same time, however Caitlyn was the only one who stood from the sofa.
¨W-what are you doing here?¨ The sheriff muttered ¨What happened at the bank?¨
¨Nothin' special, just another of Jinx's explosions¨ The pink haired turned her head at the Summoner and smiled ¨Nice hat… Cupcake number two¨
¨Ha ha¨ Matt looked at Caitlyn who headed to the kitchen ¨Where are you going?¨ The Sheriff pointed at the clock in the wall, the time was 9:20, almost time for dinner ¨Oh, I guess that solves everything¨
The blue haired crossed the door frame, but her head then poked out ¨By the way Vi, is Jayce coming to eat today?¨
¨Nah, he is going to help Heimerdinger with that teleportation thingy¨ Vi sighed and removed her gauntlets, leaving them at one side of the living room, she then sat at the sofa at the side of the earthling ¨Oh, he also wanted to give you something, blondie¨ The enforcer looked at Matt ¨Come by our workshop tomorrow¨
¨Our workshop?¨ He asked curiously.
¨Remember, Vi and Jayce are a couple now, but I keep saying that he is-¨
¨Yeahyeahyeah, that does not matter now Cupcake¨ The sheriff, who was speaking from the kitchen, got interrupted by the pink haired ¨Like I said, the workshop is a few streets away¨ She grinned ¨Now onto more pressing matters, what are you going to do once you find Claire's sister?¨
Matt stopped for a second to think ¨I don't know…¨
And it was the truest answer he could give. Once Liz is rescued, their only task is to return her safely back to Earth, but what's next? Return to their normal lives? What if this time he is not forced to get back to his world? The blond thought of many possibilities but it was best not to give any definitive answer to the officers, not unless everything gets settled.
…
The trio was now at the table, their plates empty but their stomachs full. Vi was the first one who stood from her chair as she stretched her arms, the other two looked at her.
¨Alright, time for me to hit the bed¨ Vi scratched her back, while covering her mouth for yawning.
¨Oh, I thought you were going to Jayce's house tonight¨ Caitlyn stood and grabbed the three dirty plates and walked back to the kitchen.
¨Nah, with that project, I better leave him alone. Besides, he can live a day without me having to pull his di-¨ The enforcer looked at Matt who was returning the looks at her, although he was a bit more stunned of what Vi was saying ¨Di….agrams! Yes, he has those all around the workshop, and he needs me to have the place clean¨ She rolled his eyes and turned towards a door ¨Anyway, see ya tomorrow you love birds¨
The enforcer waved two fingers, almost like a military salute before entering into her bedroom and locking the door. The two of them were alone once again, and in order to avoid that awkward silence, the Summoner walked to the kitchen and saw that Caitlyn was doing the dishes.
¨Need any help?¨ He stood at the side of the Champion but all of the plates were already clean.
¨Uh…¨ She looked left and right, and handed the blond the three glasses ¨Clean those, and put them back into the cupboard.
Matt was not that bad at that task, after living alone for quite a while he learned how to do most of the stuff a mother or father does, but when both Caitlyn and Vi were at his home, things were different; he had to cook for three and clean as thrice as before, but Matt never objected against it, mostly because the blue haired was helping him most of the times.
¨I'm wondering…¨ The blond turned his head at the sheriff ¨… you said that the new High Summoner was corrupt, right?¨ Cait gave an affirmative sound while placing the plates at one side of the counter so they could get dry ¨Just… why?¨
¨He wants to get rich by selling information about the different City-states and Empires to their respective rivals, and to do so, he uses low-tier Summoners as couriers¨ The Champion looked at Matt who was placing the three glasses on the cupboard ¨There are big things going on at Runeterra, and while we are not siding with anyone, I always feared that a war may occur and some of the collateral damage may affect Piltover¨
The earthling hugged the sheriff with his wet hands ¨Don't worry, this city has some good Champions, I am sure you can help defend this place. If not, I am always here to serve¨
Caitlyn chuckled ¨Yeah… that makes me feel waaaaaaaaaaaaay safer¨ The stress in that word may the sarcasm very clear, but he knew it was a joke ¨Well, I guess it is time to go to bed as well¨ The two of them walked out of the kitchen, the Champion was the one who started to turn off the lights, but stopped when she saw that Matt was laying in the couch ¨What are you doing?¨
The blond looked around ¨I believe that humans need to sleep, so if you don't mind…¨
Cait sighed and pulled him up ¨Come on, there is no need for you to sleep in there¨ She grabbed the Summoner's hand and led him to her bedroom.
Even if Caitlyn wanted to appear as humble as possible, her bedroom was a complete exception, even if it was not full of gold or any valuable materials, the items that decorated the entire room seemed quite luxury, at least for Matt. On the far end, the bed was big enough for a lot of people.
¨You have quite the bedroom¨ Matt gave a few steps forward and looked around. When he turned around to look at Caitlyn, she already took away her dress, revealing a purple underwear ¨And quite the… clothes¨
¨Shut up¨ She smiled and jumped into the bed ¨Come, I do not bite¨
The Summoner climbed into the bed at the side of the Sheriff, once the two of them were inside, Cait pulled the sheets over them ¨Now close your eyes, you are going to do a lot of stuff tomorrow, so I need you to be rested¨ The sheriff got closer to him and grabbed Matt from the neck before giving him a kiss.
The lovers closed their eyes, waiting to be taken into the dreamland, the only sounds were coming from outside their abode, but nothing that would bother them ¨Oh, and be careful, sometimes Vi is sleepwalking and she may end up here in the bed with us¨
¨Wait, what?¨
Late, but here it is, a new installment in Heroes & Legends! This time an old Champion appears, and... well she hasn't changed since both stories. And Vi's cockblocks are back! The most Iwontletyoufuckcaitlyn parts are back (I don't know why I should be happy, I need to practice some actual lemons)
Canwewrite: I hate when I forgot a word.
Cat kat... I can't believe that ;)My hypothesis on Claire : Talon, Kat (since SM),Cassio (cause...yes). Oh, and Ralzith, yes, for a reason I dunno (but exist) .
And I really hate the Le Blanc theory, as the Zed and nocturne theory.
Finally, there is one mail in the journal of justice that Ire answer saying that she already love it, I'm sure she was talking about .
PS I'll spare you nocturne
Don't we all?
Claire's pairing is open at the moment (or not, I'm just that cliffhangy now) Also, thanks about Nocturne :D
Tomorrow is my last final and once that is done: VACATIONS! *ultra fanfare* If I'm not away from the computer, I will try to upload more chapters before my temporary absence during January. For some reason I think I made a mistake when separating most of the chapters between the characters, I mean, I should've followed Summoning Magic's style where in a single chapter I talk about everyone.
Anyway, if that was a mistake it is already done, but now I'm too old to complain about myself, so before I go I need to tell you this which is very important:
See you in the next chapter ;)
