Just wanted to say a "thanks" for the support and ideas on the reviews, I read all of them u.u
"This. Is bullshit." Vi said, flopping down on Caitlyn´s bed.
"Vi please, don´t make things more difficult" She said, crossing her arms and rolling her eyes.
"But that doesn't even make sense"
"I agree" Jinx said sitting on the window, her long braids dangling in the wind. Caitlyn gave a small yelp, putting a hand over her chest to breathe.
"Gosh, can you not do that? How long have you been there"
"Huh. I dunno" She shrugged.
"A couple minutes, enough to hear everything" Vi said "Why do I need to go to school?"
Caitlyn sighed, wondering how the girl could be so sneaky, with that small gorgeous frame. She slapped herself mentally and turned her attention back to Vi "They want you to have proper education about Piltovre´s laws, procedures, economics, you and Ekko should receive basic education"
"I agree, he's smart, he should go, what I have to do with it?" Vi threw her hands up.
"Vi, you are smart, and even nominating Ekko to be main head of the council they look over to you the most" Caitlyn finished buttoning her shirt up.
"Ugh, fine, to where I'm going?"
Caitlyn took a long deep breath "Enforcers academy, the same I went to"
"Oh nice, I'll learn to kick homeless people and burst down innocents doors"
"As if you didn't knew how to do that" Jinx said, earning a glare.
"It is not like that!" Caitlyn groaned "Alright, listen you might hate everyone there, but even if you do not like the lessons, you need to, for the sake of everyone you want to protect, now get your ass up" She stomped out the room "And not all of us are like that"
"Woah…nice way to piss her off" Jinx said with a whistle.
"And you´re not helping"
"What you want me to do? I'm not the one going to school, I can't even be here remember? The pardon of the grand criminal depends on her actions form now on" Junx said with a dramatic tone, Vi rolled her eyes trying not to laugh "I'll be booooooooooored" She groaned laying down on the window frame and balancing herself there.
"Sucks to be you" Vi got up taking a bag Caitlyn had prepared for her.
"I can't blow stuff, can't hit baddies without permission, I'll go nuts! Again!"
"I'm sure you'll find something to do..without breaking anything, see ya" Vi waved and walked off by the door, closing it and waving to Jinx.
"Hmph…great.." Jinx stayed there on the window for a while looking to the side "oh…"
(…)
Caitlyn got back home as the sun was setting down on the horizon, still a bit upset with Vi, but much more with the council, even after all the talking she hoped they actually changed a bti, but of course she was wrong, the old hags that only cared about their own asses kept making things difficult, she had redone all documents three times just today, and of course it wasn´t good enough for them yet.
She slammed the door shut and rested her forehead against it "Idiots…"
"Woah you look mad, welcome back"
Caitlyn jumped forward, she hit her head on the door and turned around quickly "Wha..Jinx? Is that you? What are you doing in my room?"
"Oh so only Vi is allowed here? I was bored" The voice came from Caitly´s bed, but no one was at sight right away. She slowly walked there, still weary, the memory of what happened at the bathroom flashing in her mind, she slowly crouched down and lifted the sheets up, and there she was, under the bed.
It would have been great if it was simply Jinx, but besides that, there were grenades, bullets of all calibers, a pistol, crayons and the whole floor under the bed had drawings. Jinx took a rifle bullet and slowly wiggled it to a pile of ammunition boxes built like a fancy house where another bullet was.
"I..I mean..that is not the point" She said as her eyes ran over all the things there "You can not just stay here like this"
"Why not?" Jinx let the bullet rest down and crossed her arms in front of her, resting her chin on them and looking up.
Caitlyn would not admit it, but she looked adorable right now "B- because..I…guess it is hard for both of you to understand, things up here work different…did you do this all yourself?" She asked lookin at all the ammo and boxes, Caitlyn´s head slowly clicked to what all that mess what, it was actually a model of the whole city, just as the map that she had.
Jinx nods, taking the smaller bullet in her fingers and looking at it "Yeah, the scale is hardly right…and try not to touch anything before I do, I might set an explosive off somewhere…"
"That is…" She shivered a bit, worried that her bad was now a bomb ready to blow up "Quite amazingg actually, you really are smart as Vi says"
Jinx smiled sweetly "Really? Did she say that? You think that too?" She said and Caitlyn couldn´t help to smile as well, the way she talked seemed to change.
"Yeah…what about coming out from under there?"
Jinx nodded and wiggled herself out from under the bed, standing up and stretching "And where's my lovely sister now?"
"Sadly, she has night lessons as well, they want her to be done as quickly as possible with all the late studies" Caitlyn sighed, taking the stuff she had dropped on the door and setting them on her table. Jinx walked backwards and let her body fall on Caitly´s bed, lightly bouncing on it.
"And what makes you so grumpy now?" She said, patting a spot next to her.
Caitlyn looked at her with an eyebrow raised, what kind of trick the girl was trying to pull this time? Or could she actually be changing her behavior after reuniting with Vi and killing Silco? There was a weird sensation on Caitlyn's stomach, one that she could not identify, but she was pent up with all that happened.
Caitlyn sighs and walked over "The council is not making this any easy for us, even Jayce is not being of help" She sat on the bed giving it a light punch and groaning "The bunch of old butts, ugh, they do not care for what we are trying to do and my mom is making this difficult, she still don´t know about the offer Vi made for the job…shit, oh sorry, I am rumbling and cursing"
"That's quite alright, you need to get it out of your system, and cursing is not that bad ,really, actually I'm surprised you didn't swear more.." Jinx scooped closer and gently rubbed her back "I mean, you have to be true with yourself, I've seen their faces, and it's okay to be angry and curse..like that old geezer, playing with a child's toy while you´re giving your best, staring at your legs, disgusting, an old fucker that's what he is, trying to keep his place so he can have his way with whatever he wants, and it's not your fault for thinking that right? I mean, it's just reality"
Her voice was so sweet, the things she said so wrong, but they seemed to fit so right on her head, her touch relaxing, Caitlyn leaned back, resting her hands behind her to support her body and looked over to Jinx nodding, Jinx did the same putting their hands close, lightly touching each other, Caitlyn felt a spark run over her fingers as those pink eyes were locked in her own.
"You´re a strong girl, cupcake, you have to make them play your game, the way you want" Caitlyn blushed at the nickname, both sisters had the same appeal somehow, a way to make her head spin. She stood there, her mind panicking a bit, her eyes running over that girl, a murder, a terrorist, that right now seemed to understand her, to be so sweet, so gorgeous, her mind started getting foggy.
"Well, anyways" Jinx broke the silence and Caitlyn blinked, coming back to reality "Better for me to get going, Vi will be back grumpy and I should cook her something, nice chat we had" She got up and walked with a extra spring in her step, making her hips sway more, what was way more effective with her wearing such skimpy clothing, she looked over her shoulder hitting her lip and waving to Caitlyn "Bye~"
"B..bye" Caitlyn could do nothing more than waving back, feeling her chest tighten as the crazy girl jumped by the window, suddenly, the room was too big for her alone.
She let herself fall back on the bed and stare at the ceiling, the image of both other girls coming to her head at that moment. They were crazy, lacked manners, but..so funny to have around and always doing what they wanted. What would they do in a night angry like this?
She asked to herself and her eyes wandered around the room, until she saw her rifle laying on the table, and the smile of a blue haired girl sparked in her mind, Caitlyn quickly got up.
(...)
Her skin was burning, her mouth hurt, she heard laughter all around her.
Jinx woke up with a gasp, sweating, her breath shallow as she looked around trying to remember what happened.
She was at the counter of the small place she shared with Vi now, pans and plates over the table, she had cooked, the door clicked with Vi getting in, but what was burning? Why was the counter wet? She took a hand to her cheek, tears ran down her skin.
"Fuck me…Jinx? You here?"
"Yeah!" She whimpered cleaning her face and taking a deep breath "In the kitchen, I have dinner for you"
"Oh thanks" Vi sighed and threw her bag on the couch, taking a turn to the kitchen and sitting besides Jinx on the counter, she leaned to the side resting her head on her sister's shoulder "How you´ve been today?"
"Oh fine, did nothing, stayed at the fancy girls house messing around until she came back"
"You..do know you can't hang around other people's houses right? At least not up there" Vi chuckled.
"Yeah yeah, cop girl told me that, we had a nice chat" Jinx smiled, drawing random shapes at the counter with her finger "how was going back to school?"
Vi got up and walked around taking a plate for herself "Quite nice, me and Ekko have private class, we might have beaten some snobs up, but well" She shrugged opening the pan, a delicious pasta was waiting to go directly to her hungry stomach, she was yet to understand how Jinx learned to cook so well, she was a lost cause, already one when they were kids, she managed but just barely, worse after she was locked up for so long "Smell delicious…"
"Thank you, you deserve Jinx special pasta madness" The blue haired girl said dramatically.
"I see, what's in here?…is this a crab leg or a chicken bone?"
"Can't tell you, it's secret" She whispered "But! It has every vitamin thingy you need"
"Then I'll be sure to eat all of it" Vi laughed and sat back down to eat "it tastes weirdly amazing, my compliments to the chef"
"Oh I'll tell her alright"
"…hey..besides that…are you alright?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I may have been away for long, but I know when something is bothering you…you can talk to me Jinx"
"You´re crazy ,there´s no stuff bothering me at all" She quickly got up "Don´t think you still know a lot about me" She said in a humorous tone.
"Well alright…they want me to do a psychologithingy evaluation..if you want I can put you in on that just to-"
"Ha! To what? See if a guy can dig Powder back up with a magical shovel? No thank you" She half screamed and answered with the most sweet and sarcastic smile she could.
"Jinx, that's not what I meant"
"Yeah yeah, you´re tired, I'm crazy, blah blah, Imma sleep, and don't try to open my door, it's booby trapped" She said walking back to her room and slamming the door shut.
Vi sighed, dropping her fork on the plate and holding her head with both hands "Great…" She was trying, but she never knew what would be a slip or not, slowly she felt that they were getting closer again, but there was something inside her sister that still pushed her away, some kind of fear or maybe it was the way she defended herself, whatever it was, it was painful, thinking on how before she would cuddle Powder to sleep and ease her fear of the dark, and how she couldn't move a finger to help now.
Meanwhile in Jinx´s room, she had lied, the door didn't have a trap, but had Jinx herself, she had put her back against it and slid down slowly to the floor, hugging her knees and curling herself in the smallest space possible. She didn't want to go back to bed, she knew something would catch her if she slept.
"Why…why now…why.." She mumbled to herself as she tried her best to stay awake, but more and more the voices and laughter came to her ears, it would be a long night.
