AN: Hey guys! I actually wanted to post this last weekend, but you know, exams happened, so this had to wait. Hope you like the chapter! I really enjoy writing for Lynn, though she's not my favorite character in the show. The next chapter should be a real treat, depending on who I choose to write next. Either way, I'm confident you're gonna like it. Hope you enjoy this chapter for the time being!
Lynn Loud came crashing down from the sky. She needed to take a shot in trying to perfect her landing. She did one forward flip for show, too. As she approached the ground, she landed on her feet, with her arms raised over her head. "Alright, I perfected that landing!" She said to herself, as her arms went back to her sides now. She also had realized that some of the citizens were staring at her display, as she had landed right in town square. "Whoops…" She mumbled, as she then took a step back, and looked up, and around. Instantly, she felt like she had been placed into a steampunk world- gold gears, and… lots of tall buildings abound. She noticed right next to her was a big, blue ball, with had gold accents. It looked liked it could be unlocked with keys, but, she only assumed the locks were for decoration. She sees a sign that labels her current location: Zindelo's Incognium. Hey, this place was pretty cool, but… Lynn wanted to see more. She bolted straight down the road. She had a lot of pent up energy and she wanted to see everything.
Soon, she came to a stop, as she looked up at a very impressive looking street, and building. While the gaudy gold structures of the Piltover Treasury wasn't exactly her thing, it did look really impressive to climb it. Plus, this could be a good chance to practice her parkour. There were lots of great places for her to jump, and climb! She saw the stairs, that had a nice handrail too, she ran towards it, as fast as she could. She took the leap of faith, and cleared the wall, up to the railing. She walked up the handrail, perching herself on railing at the top of the stairs. Again, she drew some attention to herself, as she looked up. She wanted to at least see if she could reach the giant gyroscope on display. A glimmer of confidence shone in the athlete's eye, as there was a rod that connected to the top of the stairs to the bottom of the gyroscope.
"Hup!" Lynn said as she made the leap up, wrapping her hands and legs around the metal rod she reached for. Using her legs to push herself up, she used her hands to reach higher, until she made it to the top. She grabbed the bottom of the gyroscope, and pulled herself up. Using one of the metal loops for support, she pulls herself to feet, and shakily makes her way to the support beam. She then plops herself down and looks around. "Huh… this is pretty sweet." She says to herself with a smile. The city of Piltover looked even better when perched on the Treasury's giant gyroscope.
"Hey kid! Get down from there!" A woman's voice yelled from down below. Lynn looked down, and.. The oddest thing of this lady was her… unusual pink hair color. Oh, and her over-sized gloves. Damn, those things were massive! Lynn had a moment where she didn't know what to do. Instead of coming down… she approached the gyroscope, and flung herself across the path, latching herself right onto a railing around a deck. This seemed to be the entrance to an exclusive business… oh well. Lynn pulled herself up and over, and dashed inside. She looked around, and then found the stairs. She zipped down them to the lower level, and then down to the door. It seems like some of the workers were trying to catch her. Nope, not on her watch. As a worker ran towards her to try and keep her inside. Lynn fumbled with the door handle, before finally getting it to open. She made a bolt for it, running down Sidereal Avenue. Moments after Lynn made a run for it, the same pink haired, large-fisted woman came to the business, out of breath.
"Have you seen… that kid with the ponytail?" She asks, trying to catch her breath.
"She went down Sidereal, that way." The worker told her, pointing in the very direction Lynn had ran down.
"Thanks." The pink-haired officer said, as she started running again. At this rate, she may need to go swing by the station and pick up a squad car.
Lynn looked back over her shoulder, and smirked. "Ha. Lost her." So then she stopped running. Instead, she decided to keep on exploring… this place so far was full of neat things for her to climb on, and to burn energy! She meandered down a few blocks, making turns at random… until she approached a beautiful, white marble building. Not only were the walls constructed of a white marble, but there were large, stained glass windows, at least from the side she could see. What was this place? It seemed fancy to her. She decided to find out for herself, as she approached the street corner. "Hmm…" She rounded the corner and stood at the bottom of the stairs. She gazed up at the sign hung above the double glass doors. "The Ecliptic Vaults- Piltover's Bank. Fanciest bank I've seen." She says to herself.
She made her way up the stairs, and pushed open the doors. As expected, the bank is bustling with people. Now, whenever she went to a bank, particularly with Dad, she always got a lollipop, and that's what she wanted most at the moment. So, like any good person, she casually dodged the line and walked up the other flight of stairs. Where were the tellers so she could ask for the free lollipop? She approached a young man in a suit- he seemed to work here. "'Scuse me sir, where are your lollipops?"
"Our… lollipops?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at her.
"Yeah, you know. Don't all banks have those?"
"Not here, miss." He stopped, perking up some as he heard something through his ear piece. He nodded as he looks at her. "Miss, I'm gonna have to ask you to come with me." And before Lynn could say anything, the suited man grabbed her arm and started to escort her away. The bank started to shutter itself down, so that no one could leave. Lynn was confused and scared. The jock cowered, as the dapper man led her down the stairs again, towards the entrance. The man in the suit had a hold on her, holding her by the wrist. Man, he was strong. Lynn couldn't break free, no matter how much she squirmed about. The other Piltover citizens seemed confused at the sudden lockdown initiation. Their biggest fear was that the Loose Cannon, Jinx, had come back to ruin the Ecliptic Vaults again. She had been the only criminal successful in breaking through the intensive security measures. It couldn't happen again.
In a few moments, the sounds of sirens and then stopped. The door flew open and… of course. That pink-haired lady, and a shorter woman with purple hair and a long rifle entered. Lynn stared at the duo, because the purple-haired woman is showing an awful lot of cleavage for being an officer… The pink haired woman, and squinted. Oh. It was just that dumb little punk girl who was trying to cause a disturbance in her city. She walks up to the man in the suit, and Lynn.
"What seems to be the problem, sir?" She then asks.
"This girl was about to cause trouble in the bank. We cannot have that after the Jinx incident." He replies, glaring down at Lynn.
"I don't think she's going to be causing any harm, but regardless, I'll take her off your hands." She says, as the man in the suit passes Lynn off roughly, the large-gauntleted lady taking her arm. "Come with me." She says, as Lynn was escorted out of the library by her.
"Where are you taking me?" Lynn asked.
"None of your business." The pink haired officer barked, as the purple-haired officer glares.
"Vi, don't be rude. We could get some good information from her." She snapped, as Vi rolls her eyes. After an awkwardly silent car-ride to the sheriff's office, Lynn was escorted by the sheriff in the flesh and her officer into the questioning room. Lynn was seated in a chair, and there was a bright light shined in her face from a lamp. She grimaced and squinted as she tried to look away.
"Now now, the lamp isn't necessary. She's an out of place being, not a criminal." The sheriff said as she turned off the lamp. "My name is Sheriff Caitlyn. Please state your name and origin." She said sternly.
"My name is Lynn Loud Jr. I'm from a place called Royal Woods." Lynn replied, as she looked at the two women. The officers looked at each other and back to her.
"You didn't come alone, did you?" Caitlyn asked.
"No ma'am. I came here with my 10 siblings." Lynn replied, as she puts her hands in her lap.
"Right… and how exactly did you get here?"
"Well, my sister Lisa's to blame, as usual. She did some sort of wacky interdimensional portal thing, and we all got kind of sucked in and… here we are." Lynn shrugged.
"And where can we find this… Lisa?"
"I dunno. Somewhere around, probably… Honestly, I don't even know where I am…"
Caitlyn and Vi chuckled, as they looked at her. "You found yourself into Runeterra… specifically, Piltover, the City of Progress. You're in the most advanced city here," Cait explains, "and don't you worry, Lynn, Vi and I are willing to help. We have heard reports from other factions about strange children sightings… most likely your siblings."
Lynn smiles wide. She was pleased to hear that her siblings were at least not dead. "Thank you, Officers. I appreciate it. So, uh… how long do you think this will take? I got a big game tomorrow, kinda have to be there for it."
The girl's question confused the officers. "Well… we can try, but unfortunately we aren't well versed in interdimensional time differences. Who knows how long it will take in your dimension's time. It could take hours to several hundred years, though the latter is highly unlikely." Caitlyn replied, confident her answer was good enough.
Lynn became slightly uneasy hearing the time frame given. "...Riiight. Okay, well, hopefully it's only just a few hours. Don't want to scare Mom and Dad either, y'know?"
"Yeah, that's fair. Listen kid, I think it's safer that you stay here for now, until we can at least can figure out where everyone else is, okay?" Vi said, as Caitlyn and her stand up.
"Okay, I guess… again, thanks…" Lynn then says. Just as the officers were going to reply, they got paged over their walkie talkies. "Ugh, great, not again. Look, just stay in the station, and don't cause and trouble. We gotta go to a scene. Dunno when we'll be back." Vi then says, as she and Cait head to the door. "Later, half-pint!"
Lynn watches them go, and then gets up. She walked out of the questioning room and decided to roam through the station, until she found a window. She plops herself down, and looks out the window, and down at the streets. There were people walking and talking at a brisk pace. It was certainly a nice view here… but she just wanted to go home. She had some butts to kick in her football game tomorrow, and she didn't want to miss it. She just wondered where the rest of her siblings ended up in this world.
