One of Vi’s hands move from her temple to wave about between the two, eyes opening finally and fixing him with a look. “It’s fine, really, it’s just annoying you know?” She pauses. “Sure, some water might help. Thanks.” It’s honestly better than doing nothing.

The thudding of her bag hitting the ground echos in the small, empty apartment. The shift she just endured, the injuries she’s seen, these were nothing to compared to the one’s she’s seen in Zaun. Still, being able to make this kids smile makes her feel just a little bit lighter.

“Mm,” she grunts with her eyes closed, fingers still rubbing slow circles against the pounding in her head. “Yeah, yeah, just got a migraine coming on.” Vi huffs at the awful timing of it all.

VI. 🥹

In the still of the night a loud crash can be heard. She’d been caught trying to sneak away but it was for a good cause. She just had to check on her little misfit family. One minute Vi is wailing on her assailant and the next she’s on her back being held down until she’s calm. She huffs.

There’s cracking of her knuckles and the pat is all she needs before stalking forward. “With pleasure,” she murmured out and went after the one that was pointed out to her. She vaguely recognizes the figure but it doesn’t matter. All that matters is the feeling of flesh beneath her fists, of —

It helps that this isn’t the first time she’s dabbled in shimmer although she doesn’t understand all the different variants out there. It pumps her up, makes her even stronger somehow; sometimes it feels like there’s fire coursing through her veins. She handles it way better than Deckard ever —

The brawler felt invigorated there was no other way to describe it. She cracked her knuckles before popping her neck and making her way towards her keeper. “Much. I forgot what this felt like — I don’t care what we do so long as I can break some bones.” She followed with a vicious glint —

💯 Punch first ask questions never.

Reminder: it’s a promise.

Of course, Vi was oblivious, all her emotions going this way and that. She’d gotten back with Jinx after how long? How many nights had she suffered, had Jinx suffered before things fell into place. “I promise.” She states matter of factly. “Things will be different this time.” For the first time —

Vi fumbled the vial but managed to keep it from breaking. Her arms remained held up until she let out a soft sigh and pocketed the vial before wrapping her arms slowly around her sister. “Hey, it’s okay, you won’t. I’m.. I’m not going to do that to you again. Okay, it’s time I reaped what I —

"That son of a—" Somehow she knew she couldn't trust Silco to just keep this under wraps, she doesn't know why she thought she could in the first place, but.. it must've been the addiction talking. Her eye twitched at the vague insult but that gaze never left the vial. The way it swirled when —

The familiar anger that blossomed within her chest very quickly and suddenly died out. The fire behind her eyes extinguished as she caught sight of the vial. Her mouth ran dry and her fingers twitched. "How..?" She began but the words caught in her throat. Shoulders slumped and now a puzzled —

This wasn't Stillwater and if it was it was nowhere she'd ever seen or been before. The pounding of her head was growing annoying and finally after what seemed like hours, her eyes adjusted to the dark lighting. Vi can make out the bars of the cell, the length of the chains and the outline of —

VI. I’ve got a lot in my head so I’m gonna write just to get it all processed out.

One minute she was patrolling the slums and the next nothing but darkness. Vi remembers a fight and then a pain blossoming on the back of her head which now ached terribly. The soft clinking of chains and the cold metal of them around her wrists are some of the next things she felt as she —

Blink blink. Amused head shake. — Yeah , yeah. — You’re drunk, obviously. — But thanks for the input.

“I understand, of course. I do care about her a lot but I also care about you too. I always have. I.. hope you know that.” There’s a part of Vi that still feels awful for how things happened. She’ll never forgive herself. Still there’s a smile on her lips. “I’d like that. How would you upgrade —

A shoulder is nudging her sisters and a grin crosses her lips. “Of course I trust you. I believe you.” If Jinx said she doesn’t want to hurt Caitlyn anymore, doesn’t want to destroy or harm things then she’s gonna believe it. She knew her sister. “I’m glad you’re trying to mend bridges.”

There was no hesitation on Vi’s part. She leaned forward and captured Caitlyn’s lips with her own. It was desperate, needy but exactly what she felt like she needed. If she ever needed any reassurance she knew she could rely on her Cupcake for it. Her hand moves from a cheek down to the small of —

“Mm—“ Now that felt great and something Vi didnt know she needed. “Together,” she repeated and eventually she moved her head away from that neck to instead hold a cheek. That gaze of Vi’s remained on Caitlyn’s. There’s a hint of a smile. “With you I feel like I can do anything.”

“I don’t blame you for not.” It was said casually as if they were talking about the weather but Vi was on edge, always. Always on high alert. “Do you?” She asked with her head facing forwards once more. There’s a quick glance to her wrappings and she takes a slow, deep breath. “You sound so —

“I know..” It’s a murmur but it’s a response other than the grunting. Her head buries further in Caitlyn’s neck and she’s just.. enjoying her time. “Thank you, Cupcake. I know things have been rough but I’ll set things right.” There’s nothing else in the world Vi could ever need.

She never was. It just wasn’t something she knew how to do when it came to Caitlyn. She wanted to scream and shout from the rooftops if she could. Absence makes the heart grow fonder after all. All that comes from Vi is a little grunt and a nod. That sounds great but this feels so much better.

It’s not quite as intimidating as before and she’s not nearly as shell shocked. In the time she spent away there were many a night she came by. Vi takes the guidance happily and puts an arm around Caitlyn to further bring her closer. Soon her face is buried within the crook of a neck.

Indeed she had only pocketed the teeth to show Jinx. It may have been a while but Vi likes to think she still knows a little bit about the macabre nature of her sister. “The one and only.” A head turns back slightly and her hands pause in their movements. She wants to reach back to ruffle her —

“You’re welcome, Jinx.” She murmured. A brow raises and surprise flashes in her gaze. “Did you? How did that go?” Vi was proud of Jinx and she hoped she could see that in the way she grinned and her chest puffed out slightly. “I’m sure she appreciated that.”

Vi trusted Caitlyn with everything and it showed in the way a hand squeezes her own for comfort and grounding. She remained close but she shakes her head. “Can’t I crash with you in yours?” If she was to be honest, Vi is a little nervous and scared to be alone and not just because she’s afraid —

“Hey, hey, it’s okay. You don’t have to get me anything. I saw an opportunity and had to take it.” She squeezed her sister to try and console her. The last thing she wanted was for her sister to feel any sort of guilt. It’s just them against the world now. Gently she took the locket and —

Vi takes the offering and helps herself up with Caitlyn’s help. “That’s how you know I’m serious.” A pause. Home. “Yeah..”

“You can take the blade if you want.” She mentions casually with a shrug of her shoulders. The items aren’t picked back up. Vi chuckled and rolled her eyes but nodded nonetheless. “I’d put them on a chain and wear them around my neck.” She says with her head turning to watch her sister.

A hand fished inside her hoodie pocket and pulled out a few teeth along with a little switchblade. “Not much. He’s lucky he only lost a couple of teeth.” She commented and placed the ‘goods’ beside her so she can make sure all her bandages are in place properly.

Vi nodded and vowed to make this right. “Okay.. no more, cross my heart or else may Jericho’s taste awful from now on.”

“Surprise,” she said with a squeeze of her sisters shoulders. “I hope you like it. I know it’s not much but..” she trailed off with a shrug of her shoulders. “I figured to start our new life off right. A symbol of what we went through and still being together past all of that.” Soon her hand —

@theviciousvixen.bsky.social She's my precious person.

She squeezed her sisters shoulder gently and reached into her pocket to pull out a locket. It was handmade with intricate designs. She holds it out. “I bought this at a little shop in Zaun a while back. If you open it it’ll have a surprise inside.” Just a photo of them with a little inscription.

Sighs heavily. “You’re right. Ah.. this is gonna take a while isn’t it?” She says lightheartedly to try and break the tension. “I won’t at least not anymore.”

Her head nuzzles in once more and she nods. “Course I do. I went six months before I fell back in again. I just need some help.” She mentions arms wrapped around Caitlyn and squeezing ever so slightly.

She remains quiet as the familiar sting of tears prick the corners of her eyes. “A few weeks ago. It was going so well.. I thought I could do it by myself.” Vi rests her head on a shoulder and nuzzles in. “I.. backtracked but I don’t even remember what caused it.”

Vi stood completely still unable to move or even meet Caitlyn’s eyes. “I was.. I was embarrassed and ashamed. I thought you’d think differently of me.” She sighed and used her free hand to rub at her temple. “I didn’t want you to get hurt, didn’t want you tangled up in it.”

The pads of thumbs wipe away any tears that may spill over and she asks again. “Do you trust me?” Without waiting for an answer she pulls away and with a breath she pulls up the sleeve of her hoodie. It’s like a million little dots scattered all over the skin of her arm. “A while back I was —

“This could ruin your reputation. I can’t have you risk that for me.” Hands are squeezed and Vi sighs deeply, rougher calloused fingers going over Caitlyn’s gently. Hell it could ruin Vi’s own with Topside. “Do you trust me?” Slowly she removes her hands from Caitlyn and instead she’s —
