Holy shit it's been so long guys. I'm writing a bunch of chapters of this all at once so I can post them regularly. Hope the story is just as good as before.
Flashback
Chris dropped from the ceiling and onto the hallway floor. After watching from the vents he had the guard schedule memorized and was ready to move. He has studied the building's layout before arriving as well, making sure he knew what he was doing. He pulled a black mask from his small backpack and pulled it over his face, slinking down the hall in the direction of the jewel room.
The item he was after was a rare gem found in Ionia, nothing like it had ever been found before. The price would be unmatched and yet it was in a museum with such lousy security. He pressed his shoulder to the wall as he neared a corner, looking down the hall around it. There were two guards approaching him. He checked his watch.
They shouldn't be here right now, what the hell?
He sighed in frustration and tensed up as he waited for the to pass him. Right as they did he lunged at them without hesitation. He shoved one hard, sending him into the other. While they were disoriented he reached for a knife from the belt of the first guard. He grabbed it and sliced the throat of the first guard before shoving it into the chest of the second. They both fell to the ground, dead.
I better be quick, there's no way to avoid someone seeing this.
He grabbed a gun from the holster on his lower back in case he had any other unexpected guests. He dashed down the hallway as fast as he could without making too much noise until he reached the room that was supposed to be the jewel room. He heard loud voices behind him and he panicked. He smashed the door handle with a few hits from the butt of his gun and rushed inside only to find at least 30 guards inside. He was set up.
"Give up." A man in a different colored uniform than the others stepped forward. "Or you will die." His eyes were extremely serious.
Chris stared the man dead in the eye with a hateful look. He dropped his gun and grabbed the other, doing the same with that one. He put his hands up in defeat, still locking eye contact with the man.
He smiled. "You've been unstoppable for a while now, but you trusted your friends too much." He chuckled. "They set you up, remember that they're they reason we caught you." He looked like he felt immensely accomplished. His flashed a grin as he pulled out one his signature notecards. "C."
Present
Chris woke up, slowly opening his eyes repeatedly and grunting as he struggled to even begin trying to get out of bed. He sat up and sighed, looking around the abandoned apartment he called home. It made him smile, that he had somewhere he could call home at all. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up, stretching his entire body as he made his way into the hall.
He stepped out into the hallway and quickly made his way to Jinx's door. He knocked a couple times and opened it without thinking. When he opened the door he saw Jinx bending over as she started slipping on a pair of purple panties. He froze instantly, in shock of what he was seeing. She didn't seem to notice him as she slipped them across her thighs. He let out a small sound, regretting it instantly. She stopped and looked behind her, fury in her eyes. She pulled them up quickly and rushed at him.
"WHO SAID YOU COULD WATCH ME GET DRESSED PRETTY BOY?" She clocked him in the jaw, hurting them both. She accidentally put the pressure on her bad leg, making her lose her balance. She fell on top of him and he tried to catch her, grabbing her small chest in the process. If it wasn't for her bad leg she'd have beat him to a pulp and he would've taken it, but instead she cried out in a pain, a late reaction.
"Jinx, you alright? Oh shit your leg!" He picked her up and laid her down on her bed, just realizing that she was only covering her chest with a thin lacy purple bra, matching her panties. He looked away, his face radiating enough heat to overheat a volcano. "I-I'm sorry Jinx I didn't mean to walk in on you." He apologized, still flustered over seeing her ass and bare thighs.
She was in too much pain to yell again so she just grumbled for him to get out. He accepted and stepped out of the room. He sighed and tried to process what had just happened. I guess even textbook psychopaths like Jinx could get embarrassed. She was a girl, after all.
Flashback
Chris spit out blood as he received a merciless punch from a man three times his size. "Tell me where your stash is!" The man demanded. The people who had caught him decided to torture him, thinking he'd admit where everything was. They were very wrong.
Blood was all around him on the floors and walls, most of it his and fresh, some was dried up and from the previous victims.
"So what, you guys don't have janitors?" He said gesturing with his head to a large dried spot of blood. "Is that why you need my mone-" He was cut off with a kick to the face. He chuckled as he spit out blood again, rolling on the floor.
"You're testing my patience. Do you want to die?" The man threw him against a wall. He slid down the wall and sat against it.
"I actually think keeping me alive is wasting your time, mine too actually." He grinned at the man as he rushed towards him again, grabbing Chris by the hair and pulling him up into the air. He punched Chris in the gut a few times before Chris spit blood again, this time into the man's face. The man let go of him out of reflex, moving his hands to his face. Chris landed on his feet and kicked the man in the groin. He then grabbed the back of the man's head as he bent over and kneed him in the face several times. When the man started to try and attack back Chris pounded as hard as he could onto the man's spine, laying him out.
Chris spit blood out yet again and wiped his mouth. He had been wiggling his hands out of their restraints the entire time. Good thing he managed to get out when he did. He limped over to the man who was still on the ground trying to get up. He kicked him over, his movements slow and sloppy from exhaustion. He grabbed a small knife from his tool belt and shoved it into the man's neck. He stood up and stretched the best he could and looked for an escape. Before he could make a move the room was filled with guards, he was surrounded.
"Really? Fucking again?" He threw the knife on the ground. "You guys are a pain in the ass."
One of the guards stepped forward. "C, come with us to your cell. If you resist us you will die."
He grinned at the guard. "All you had to do is ask."
Present
Chris rubbed his temples. He was sitting on his bed and had a headache. His memories from his past kept coming to him, reminding him that he was once a completely different person. He stood up and looked out the window, scanning the dead side of Piltover. Every building in sight was clearly abandoned, a lack of progress present in this side of the city. His mind went back to thinking of how he was just a few years ago. When he was the master thief and master assassin known only as "C". When he was C, he was cocky and invincible. Now he was Chris, he longer preferred initials, and he was no longer a one man army. He sighed, not sure which side of himself he preferred.
He made his way to Jinx's room, careful not to carelessly open the door again. He knocked and waiting for her response.
Nothing.
He knocked again and after a few seconds heard. "You can come in pretty boy." He opened the door and saw Jinx, now wearing a large T-Shirt and shorts. It was odd seeing her in such normal clothes. She was sitting on her bed, her bad leg outward and he good leg tucked under it.
She looked up at him, noticing he was checking out her clothes. "What? I keep comfy clothes here in case anything like this happens." She pointed at her wrapped wound on her lower leg.
She didn't seem energetic like she usually was, she seemed a lot more calm. "Jinx, are you okay?"
She looked up at him. "What do you mean, pretty boy?"
"You just seem... I don't know, you don't seem like your usual energetic self."
"Sorry, I didn't sleep last night and I barely slept before that. I'm pooped."
Chris smiled at her. "I thought you didn't get tired?"
She pouted at him. "Shut your stupid mouth pretty boy!" She threw a pillow at him (semi-playfully).
He caught it, chuckling. "Alright, fine." He sat down next to her on her bed.
"I can't believe I let that stupid Hat Lady hit me." She sunk into the pillows behind her. "She's never hit me even once before."
Chris turned to her. "Hey, it's my fault. Don't beat yourself up."
She looked at him. "How was that your fault?"
"I could've stopped her somehow."
Jinx shook her head and scooted a little closer to him. "You saved me. You're not allowed to take the blame." She smile at him and smiled back.
"Well then, it's just Caitlyn's fault. What gives that bitch the right to even look at someone like you?"
Jinx nodded. "Yeah what gives her the right to loo-" She stopped at looked at Chris, confused. "Wait, what do you mean by someone like me?" She pinched him hard. "Are you trying to be mean?"
"Nonono!" He gasped at the pain in his arm. "Please stop pinching me!" She stopped and looked at him expectantly.
"So, what did you mean pretty boy?"
"Well uh, you know um..." He trailed off and she reached her hand into the air, threatening to pinch him again. "Someone as amazing as you!" He said without thinking.
Jinx put her hand down and looked at him, head cocked to the side. "Amazing?"
He expected her to agree immediately but the serene side of her he was talking to did no such thing.
"Well, yeah." He shrugged. "You're really amazing Jinx. I think so."
Her blank expression turned to a smile. "I'm gonna take a nap." She said. Chris started to get up but she grabbed his arm. "No, stay idiot." They shared a look and Chris laid down next to her. She pressed against his side and rested her head on his chest, one of his arms wrapped around her. They breathed in each other's scents and slowly drifted off into sleep during something quite rare among two psychopaths; a nice peaceful moment.
Alright thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed. Don't worry Jinx isn't gonna be like that all the time, mostly this chapter. She'll be obnoxious and loud by next chapter. There might be a lemon within the next couple chapters, just to warn you.
