A/N: Alright, first time ever doing this...

After watching Riot Games new tv-series Arcane i was absolutely shocked at how much i loved it. So much that i've decided to start writing a fan fiction on the side as a hobby. I don't enjoy the game so have never really gotten into what the lore of the world and all the characters are so Arcane is the first piece of information on the lore i've ever gotten. I didn't even know Jinx and Vi were sisters before watching Arcane! Ye...

This is the first time i ever write a fanfiction so, bear with me!
And uh... I guess some people might really not like where this story goes later but that's always how it is isn't it? Not everyone will like what one does. It might get a bit taboo and controversial perhaps but, i wanna do it, so fuck it. I don't wanna reveal to much for spoiler reasons but i guess from the title and tags people could figure out what i'm talking about.

I hope that what i've written is readable and understandable enough. And please! Give me as much feedback as you want in form of reviews or PMs. All is appreciated.

Oh! And the world and characters belong to Riot Games. Except a few Original chracters that i've thrown into the mix.

Chapter 1 - Stuck in Still Water Hold

She woke up, back and neck sore from the hard bed she'd been sleeping on.

"Another fucking nightmare…" she said sleepily as she started waking up. Her dark and cold cell was never very welcoming to wake up in but she'd started to get used to it.

She thought about how long it had been since back then… back when she left her sister Powder behind and was taken away by the Piltover enforcers. It was hard not to think about, seeing as she dreamed about it almost every night since then.

"I hope she's still alive and doing okay…" She muttered to herself in the darkness, What if Silco has her held captive? she thought.

A sudden Banging on her cell door grabbed her attention "Wake up vi! A new day in Piltovers finest establishment, Still Water Hold awaits you" the man outside the cell barked at her.

"Real funny Jack, come up with a new one would you?" Vi said back, not finding his joke funny at all anymore, especially not after having repeated it so many times.

Jack opened her cell and told her to "Get up on your feet and start walking". Not feeling like being a rebel this morning she listened to him and walked outside her cell, making her way to her place of work with Jack following close behind all the way.

After taking the elevator down a couple of floors and a short walk for about 3 minutes she arrived at her workplace, the mines or whatever the fuck it is, Vi doesn't really know. It was a big open space with massive walls surrounding it, various rocks and boulders were scattered around and a big mine entrance was going down into the ground. Not much of a mine really, she suspected it was just an excuse to get the inmates to work themselves to death. She's just told to do this or that and today was apparently mining duty so time to get a pickaxe and make her way down mine shaft.

Vi gave out a frustrating sigh on her way down, I've gotta get out of this place somehow, I can't be stuck in here all my fucking life… She thought to herself. Vi had been here for a while but hadn't really found anyone that clicked with her, they were all criminals after all, and she wasn't, right?

But then again, she hadn't really been looking to make friends, always thinking about Powder and how she would find her. There were some people that had taken an interest in her though, especially after having grown more attractive since first arriving at Still Water Hold. Namely Bruce and his pathetic little followers that he'd found in a corner somewhere.

Finally having arrived at her usual 'spot' she got to work on doing her usual mining routine, which definitely kept her in shape but anyone could tell that she was not having a good time doing it, not at all. Even creepy boy Bruce could tell something was of with her.

"Hey Vi, you doing okay there? Maybe you need some… help?" Turning away from the wall she was working at, she saw Bruce looking at her up and down with a disgusting smirk on his face.

"Fuck off, I can handle myself" Vi said while giving him a mixed look of disgust and hatred. "And I definitely don't need any help from you, go back to whatever hole you came out of" She turned around ready to start working again but in the middle of turning Bruce took a hold of her wrist firmly.
"Do not fucking talk to me like that bitch! You ought to respect me seeing as I haven't tried to do anything against you with my boys yet." He said.

Vi gave a swift knee to Bruce's body which made him keel over instantly and start coughing. "I'll talk however the fuck I want, now piss off!" she said while giving him a kick to the side of the stomach.

"I- I won't forget this you bitch!" he said as he started running away.

"Fuck…" she said after letting out a long sigh. I might be able to handle him alone but he's right, if he were to bring his little group with him… that would be bad. She thought to herself. Just because I'm a fucking woman I need to deal with this shit, can't he just fuck off already!?

After having worked for a while Vi started getting hungry, which probably meant it was time for lunch break pretty soon. She decided to start making her way up and out of the mine in preparation for the lunch call.

When she reached the mine entrance however She was stopped by a group of 3… It was Bruce's little gang. Shit.

"Well well, hello there Vi. Seems you've found your way into a bit of a situation huh?" Bruce the 'leader' said.

"Yea, seems like it, the fuck do you want Bruce?" Vi said back.

"Oh nothing to serious really, you see me and my friends are just feeling a bit… 'pent up' one might say, and after your little stunt you pulled down there I think you could help us with our problem yeah?" He said as the two other guys were nodding along with a perverted and hungry look on their face.

Pent up? Ah for fucks sake… alright Vi calm down, how the fuck are you gonna get out of this situation… She wondered.

"Listen I… Sorry about earlier Bruce really, I'm just in a bad mood today and you were there at the wrong time, that's all."

"Yea…. I don't believe that at all sweetie, now come on, start walking back down, we'll be close behind don't you worry."

"Bruce, can't we just—" Interrupting Vi was the sound of the lunch call going off all over the prison. Holy shit thank god for lunchtime… You see when lunchtime starts everyone needs to make sure they check in 10 minutes max after the call goes out.

"Well, seems like we're gonna have to take a rain check on that Bruce, I'm just absolutely starving." She said with a cheeky smile.

"Your luck couldn't get any better than this bitch, just you wait, we're not done with you yet." He said before they started walking towards the lunch hall like everybody else.

Vi let out a sigh of relief, happy she got out of that ordeal intact and then she too started making her way to the lunch hall.

When she came into the lunch hall most people were already sitting at their tables eating… whatever they served today. Vi took her place in the queue and after a bit got her lunch,

Not to bad today honestly she thought to herself as she started looking for a secluded spot to sit and eat in peace. But as she looked around she noticed a guy she hadn't seen before sitting alone at a table, huh, must be pretty new She thought. Vi made her way a bit closer to the guy to get a better look and… Wait… I recognize this guy, that… that's the fucking guy I fought at Silco's factory all those years ago! He has to know where Powder is! Vi started getting angry and losing her control think about the guy just sitting there alone enjoying his meal for what he'd done, HE SHOULD BE DEAD! She thought.

Vi lost it, anger overtook her and she threw all her food on the ground and rushed at him with her now empty food tray with one goal in mind, MAKE. HIM. PAY. Getting closer to the big man she saw the surprise at his face as she approached at an incredibly high speed. "WHERE THE FUCK IS POWDER!?" she yelled at him just before getting the first hit in, her lunch tray connecting with his forehead with incredible force behind it, "WHERE IS SHE!?" another hit, just as hard as before. The man was starting to bleed from his forehead being cut open by the sharp end of the lunch tray. He had no time to react to what she did, completely overwhelmed by it all. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!?" One final hit… And it was over. The man was now on the ground, his face completely smashed in, hard to recognize from before. Vi, still lost in her rage was grabbed from behind by two guards, restraining her and cuffing her arms behind her back, brining her somewhere else.

The lunch hall was dead silent, people were staring, no one was speaking, but nearly everyone was thinking… What the fuck happened?

"WHY IS THAT GUY HERE!? HE HAS TO KNOW WHERE POWDER IS!" Vi yelled at the guards holding her arms tightly as they brought her somewhere else, Vi was still a bit lost in her rage from before.

"I have no idea what you're talking about girl but you better shut the fuck up before we give you an even worse punishment then what you're already getting from doing that." One of the guards said.

"As it's looking right now you're gonna be sitting in an isolation cell for a few days" the other guard told Vi.

This is fucking bullshit!

"Alright in you go, come on!" one of the guards said as they had arrived at her new cell in a long dark corridor. Vi made her way in and just stood there, completely still.

"What the fuck even happened?" she heard one of the guards that had brought her there say with a low voice.

"I don't know" The other one said, "must've really pissed her off somehow."

"He arrived just a few days ago though, there's no way they've interacted with each other a lot yet"

"Yea it's a bit weird, but sometimes you just hate a person when you see them. You know kind of like 'love at first sight' but the opposite."

"I guess so…" And with that, the conversation turned to other topics as they started getting further and further away from Vi's new temporary cell.

For a while, Vi just stood there, staring at the wall with an empty head not fully understanding what had just happened yet. So lost in her rage had she become, not something she was prepared for in the slightest.

"… Why is that guy here…" She said quietly with a small crack In her voice. "He… He was there, I think. Back then, when I left Powder behind…"

Vi suspected this was true because every time she has that fucking nightmare she sees the silhouette of the people standing around Powder, beckoning her, lying to her, deceiving her… One of those silhouettes was a man who looked like he was strong. Big, wide shoulders. He has to be one of them She thought.

What do I do now? Now I'm stuck her for another week at least because of what I did… god dammit! Why did I have to get so fucking emotional from seeing that guys ugly face…

She sighed… "Powder… I miss you…" She said before she noticed her cheeks getting a little wet. She was crying.

Great, just… fucking great. She thought as she started wiping away the tears running down her cheeks. Feeling mighty tired from this eventful day vi decided to lay down but before doing so she noticed something

"Wait… There's no fucking bed here! HELLO!?" Vi was getting angry again, but decided it was no use, she would be stuck here for a while with no one to talk to or ask for help. She did however notice that there was a pillow on the floor, or well… atleast it looks like a pillow.

Alright, time to get some sleep I guess, put this shit behind me… for now. And so, she laid down and tried to get some sleep, on the cold hard stone floor.

The next day when Vi woke up she was first surprised at her new cells look but quickly remembered what had happened yesterday. Starting to get on her feet she also noticed that her body was ever sorer that it usually was.

Fuck, even the bed in my old cell is pretty good compared to just straight on lying on the floor huh? My back is fucking killing me. She thought.

"Vi" She heard from just outside her cell. Craning her neck around she saw Jack standing there, emotionless expression but with a hint of… Pity? Sadness? Doesn't matter in the end but still, a strange thought.

"What?" She said back with a unnecessarily harsh tone.

"The warden's asked for you, I suspect he wants to know why you did what you did yesterday."

"Ah shit…" Vi had never met this 'Warden' person before but she knows what the title means. The one with power to do and decide what happens.

"Yeah, so come on, get your ass out of there, you have a meeting to get to."

"I thought I would be isolated in here for quite some time?" she said as she left the cell and started following alongside Jack.

"Yeah well, don't expect to get any less of a sentence, if anything you'd probably get a longer one based on how you behave towards the warden so be careful about what you say if you want to keep your sanity intact." Vi looked at his face and could tell he was being dead serious, Jack was actually giving her a tip, that's the first time that's happened from… anyone in this fucking place really.

"Thanks… for the tip, I guess." She said, but Jack just gave her a weird look back and sighed, looking forward again and keeping silent the rest of the way to the Wardens office.

On their way to the Warden she quickly noticed how most people were looking at her weirdly as they were passing them by.

Is it really that surprising? That a girl beat the shit out of a man? She thought as they were getting closer to their destination.

"Alright, here we are, get your ass inside Vi" Jack said motioning towards a big double door standing at the end of the hallway they were in.

"I'm going in there alone?" Vi said back to him. And the look Jack gave her as an answer to her question told her everything she needed to know "Fine".

Vi slowly opened the two doors at the same time, one hand on each door. As the Wardens office was revealed before her she was surprised at how incredibly bi—

Wait… It's just a normal room with a desk and shit, what the fuck was I even expecting? Underwhelmed at how simple the room was she made her presence known to the warden after having closed the doors behind her. "Uh, hello? You called for me?" she said looking at the man sitting at his desk facing the doors. He looked fairly normal, not a huge bodybuilder type or a scrawny little man. Just, normal.

He slowly looked up and gave Vi a better view of his face. Ah, I guess he's not that normal after all she thought as soon as she saw his face. It was riddled with scars and you could also tell he had another one going down his chest from his neckline.

"Vi, I assume?" he asked and Vi just gave him a brief nod in response. "Good, good. Yes I did indeed call for you." A brief pause to perhaps think about he was going to say. "I am interested in knowing why you… let's be frank, completely smashed one of our dear inmates face in with a lunch tray with no apparent provocation yesterday?" After he was done speaking he leaned forward with both elbows on his desk, eagerly awaiting Vi's response.

Before Vi began speaking she remembered what Jack had said to her just a few moments before 'be careful about what you say if you want to keep your sanity intact'.

Okay, let's act a bit more proper then I guess… "Well you see, I know of him from before I came here."

"I suspected as much, he did after all arrive very recently so you would've barely had anytime to properly speak with him yet even if you'd like to." He said back.

"Yea… I know I probably shouldn't have done what I did but I was just… I dun know, one moment I was looking at him and recognized him for who he was and the next I was on top of him with a bloody lunch tray in my hands."

"Rage huh…" He said back as if it was a matter of fact, something he had surely encountered before. He continued "You're not telling me anything, there has to be a reason as to why you'd get this mad from just seeing him."

Vi hesitated before she continued her explanation of what happened "I… I have a sister… I haven't seen her ever since I arrived here, obviously. But just before I was taken here by the enforcers, my sister she… I left her and I couldn't help it, I couldn't return to her because they took me away." She paused her speech for a bit, gathering her thoughts. Looking at the Warden you could tell he was interested in hearing more and beckoned her to continue, so she did, she had to after all.

"Just before I was taken away I saw…. I saw a group of people surround my sister, I suspect one of those people is that guy I attacked yesterday. And no, it's not just because I saw him near my sister, I knew him from before, let's just say he was not a good friend of either my family or friends. And I don't think my sister might fully realize who they were and get deceived and or captured for who knows what, if not killed on the spot." She was done explaining, if this wasn't enough of a reason, she don't know what to say.

"I see…" the Warden said. Now finished with hearing her explanation he started to lean back in his chair and rubbing his chin in thought. "So you're also telling me you're innocent and shouldn't be here?"

"Well, I have no idea who's innocent or not for you guys, I lived in the undercity, you know?"

"Right… well, I think you're explanation of why what happened yesterday did happen is sufficient. In fact, I'm putting you back in your own cell. Even I can be fair when I know somethings off." He said, looking at Vi with an indifferent look.

"Oh… well, thanks I suppose" Vi said back, seeing him give a brief nod.

"Leave, we're done here." Not wanting to ruin what she'd been able to come out with from this interaction she made her way towards the doors. "Oh and Vi?" Vi stopped moving but didn't look back towards him. "Maybe try to avoid interacting with with the guy eh?"

She stood still for just a few seconds more before making her way out of his office, finally done with this conversation.

Jack was waiting at the end of the hall when Vi exited the Wardens office. When she'd made her way over to him he just said "Good?" Vi looked at him and gave him a brief nod while giving out a small sound of agreement. And with that, the morning was over. And it was time for another day of work in Still Water Hold prison, just like any other. Incredibly boring but, a good workout never hurts.

A/N: I will try to upload atleast 1 chapter each week. It might be more, it might be less. I'm sadly very busy in life right now but i still really want to write this story, thank you for taking the time to read it!
