.•What Once Was•. (vixreader)

Tip from Little Man.

•.                                        •.                                         •.

Finally out of bed and up and about, the lot was ready to head out on their little troublemaking.
You fiddled with your fingers in nervousness;
them going on this 'trip' was the last thing you wanted, but there was no getting them out of it.

"Alright, we're heading out." Vi said, looking over at Mylo, Claggor and Powder to check that they were ready.
"Be careful, alright? Don't go stirring up more trouble than necessary."
"I'll do my very best, sweetheart."
You rolled your eyes playfully at her remark as you watched them all leave, Powder enthusiastically waving goodbye.
Vi turned to face you and pecked your cheek, turning away as she caught up with the rest.

You simply held that side of your face, watching as they went on a potentially dangerous thief trip.
For some reason, you had a bad feeling about this.

•.                                        •.                                        •.

You paced back and forth in the shared room, thinking of something to tell Vander once he asked where the others are and why you aren't with them.
Would it be suspicious? Definitely.
Regret seemed to creep in on you as you began to doubt if you should've gone with them.
No, they needed someone to cover for them.
But what if they get into danger?
Vi is the only one there that can seriously do some damage, the others, not so much. You would've been able to help alongside Vi, but now you couldn't do much about it.
No, snap out of it!
They're perfectly capable of handling themselves, they've done this time and time again. Just... never in Piltover.

With a sigh, you left the room and trotted up to the bar, where Vander was seen pouring several drinks and handing them out to customers.
"Ah, Y/n, g'morning."
You smiled.
"Morning, Vander! Was everything up to standard when you came back to the bar after we'd taken care of it?"
He let out a chuckle, nodding. He strung the towel over his shoulder, leaning over the counter as he rested his forearms against the surface.

"It was, don't worry about that. Say, where is Vi and the others?"
Crap.
"Uh, they went out to do the usual, and well I wanted to stay behind, because... well, because I liked the job yesterday! You know, serving and attending the customers, some of them, of course, it was all just very entertaining! Vi recommended me to stay so that I could ask you for a position."
Vander raised a brow, before actually believing it and grinning.
"Well then, I will consider giving you a job here. For now, do you want to be my helper?"

"Of course!" You said through a fake smile.
"Very well, if you don't mind, could ya' please take these to the table over there by the door?"
You nodded and took the drinks, settling them onto a platter before heading on over to the area.
Today was going to be a long day.

•.                                         •.                                       •.

After two long hours, you began to grow worried.
You felt a pit in your stomach, as if something bad had happened, and you immediately got into panic mode. They never took this long, especially for a 'quick' grab and run.
You asked Vander if you could take a quick break to check on the others, and he complied.

After taking the elevator, you were now walking through the streets of the Undercity in hopes of catching the two brunettes along with the pink and blue haired girls.
Obviously from this height you would never be able to see them, so you decided to climb up a roof and began to be on the lookout from there.
Thanks to Vi's company, you'd learned how to travel swiftly in the Undercity.
Jumping over buildings and climbing up narrow alleyways were now your specialty.
