Her eyes open sharply and lurches up and forward screaming. I gasp as I catch her and lean her back against the wall. She pants for breath as I lean and follow her. She winces and jolts forward slightly.
"Easy, easy." I soothe before she whimpers softly in pain. I hold her face gently and close to mine and I slow her breathing to mine. It's something we have both done to one another many a time.
"We need you back on your feet. What was the name Sevika gave you? Jinx?"
I give Vi a quick kiss on the forehead before I go to stand with Caitlyn.
"Right. Jinx. How could I forget."
I give her a sympathetic look as Caitlyn continues.
"We're going to have to be more careful from now. Silco could be watching--" As she says this she leans against a pole in the home making the building rumble. She grabs onto the pillar and steadies it. She inspects it further and notices names engraved within the metal. She looks from behind it and sees the children's drawings on the wall.
"You used to live here? Who's Powder?"
I look to Caitlyn before looking to my girlfriend as she sighs and answers.
"My sister. I thought she died, but no. I have to try and find her."
"You mentioned someone. Ekko?"
I notice Vi look to me in an expression I couldn't fully read.
"My brother. I never heard from him so I assumed he'd died. I hope not. I have to find him."
"How can you not know whether your family is alive or dead?"
"Well, it's hard to check up on people from inside and concrete cell." Vi stands sharply and I grab her hand delicately, as if it were glass.
"What, you don't have parents?"
"No. Neither of us do. They were killed by enforcers." I glare at Caitlyn. I am getting rather fed up of the personal questions.
Vi links her arm in with mine and we share a sad smile. Metal clangs harshly down the street and our heads turn to where it came from. Quickly, follows the grunts of desperate men, addicted to their stupid pink liquid.
We open the door to see Silco standing there, holding bottles of shimmer out to them. The men desperately reach for it.
He chuckles, "Vander's prodigy. And Benzo's too. I regretted that we've never had the opportunity to speak."
"What have you done with my sister?"
He drops the shimmer to the men and they fight over it like a pack of rabid dogs. "I've freed her. Candidly, I thought you were the prize of your second hand family, Vi. But Jinx... Oh, she's more than I ever imagined."
"I'm gonna find her and erase whatever fucked up delusions you put in her head. But first, I'm gonna bring your bullshit empire down all around you."
"You don't know your limits, Violet. It's what got Vander killed. What drove your sister away. And it's why I'm here right now."
