Chapter 13: Back to Consciousness

The girls were walking for a while when Jamie felt Jinx start to wake up.

"Uh, Vi?" Jamie called, Vi looked at her, then Jamie said, "I'm gonna need a little assistance."

Vi got the message and they had Jinx lean against the wall.

"I'll keep watch," Caitlyn said then went a ways away.

When Jinx woke up, everything was fuzzy for a bit before Vi and Jamie came into view.

"Powder?" Vi called.

"You okay?" Jamie asked.

Jinx then attacked them, Jamie and Vi trying to stop her.

"Powder! Stop!" Vi pleaded.

"Yeah right! You just kidnap me and you think I'm not gonna fight you two?!" Jinx yelled.

"Do you see yourself tied up? Are we interrogating you? Because last time I checked, those were the definitions of being kidnapped," Jamie pointed out.

Jinx seemed to calm down and back away a bit before saying, "You make a good point, but you're also stupid for not doing that."

"Can we at least explain what happened to us before you keep thinking we completely abandoned you?" Vi asked.

Jinx thought about it before saying, "I think I can work with that. Vi first."

"Okay. After the explosion, I didn't completely leave you. I went to take a breather and I saw Silco with you, so I was gonna save you, but I got arrested and have been in jail for five years until Jamie bailed me out," Vi replied.

"Okay," Jinx nodded, looked at Jamie, then asked, "So what's your excuse?"

Jamie sighed and explained, "After we lost Mom and Dad, I saw Vander take you and Vi to safety. Even though I couldn't recognize him, I just knew it was someone we trusted. I tried to catch up, but you three were long gone and I was injured, so I went to someone to help me and I've been living in Piltover since. But I swear I kept looking for both of you. And we were going to find you while also getting shimmer for the man I love because he's dying."

"Whoa. You got a boyfriend?" Jinx asked.

"That's what you got out of all that?" Vi wondered.

"And technically he's not my boyfriend. I want him to be, but anyway, I needed Vi's help with it and it wouldn't hurt if you helped too," Jamie replied.

"She's got a point, Pow Pow. We both know this place like the back of our hands. And after all this, we'll go back to how things used to be. Hopefully with Jamie this time," Vi said.

Jinx pondered on this as Caitlyn came in.

"Everything good?" she asked, getting the sisters' attention.

"She with you two?" Jinx asked.

"Yeah. She volunteered though," Vi answered.

Jinx looked between the three of them before shrugging.

"What the hell. Let's get going," Jinx told them.

They then started back in the direction they were heading.

Meanwhile, Sevika and the other two guys made it back to the Last Drop, limping. They headed up to Silco's office, blood dripping from their wounds.

"You all are making a mess," Silco told them without looking at them.

Sevika grunted before saying, "The two older sisters and an enforcer are down here. They got Jinx."

He turned around immediately, anger building up.

"We're getting her back," he remarked.

"Silco, she's a problem. We don't need her," she said.

"You're wrong! She's mine to care for! And we're going to find her now!" Silco yelled at her.

Sevika sighed, grabbed a small vial of shimmer, put it in her robotic arm, and activated it. She then tossed shimmer to the other two guys and they took it, them all getting more ripped and glowing purple. They were set to head out.

Back at the hospital, Viktor tossed and turned as he was about to wake up.

"Jamie," he mumbled, getting Jayce's attention.

"Viktor," Jayce called, scooting his chair closer.

Viktor opened his eyes before turning toward Jayce.

"Jayce?" Viktor asked.

"Yeah. It's me," Jayce nodded with a slight smile before it was replaced with a frown when saying, trailing off at the end, "The doctors. They said..."

Viktor sighed then asked, "How much time do I have?"

Jayce hesitated before answering, "Until the end of the year."

Viktor nodded in understanding before realization hit him.

"Where's Jamie?" he asked.

"In the Undercity. She's looking for a cure for you," Jayce answered.

"What?" Viktor said in shock.

"If you need to talk to her about it, use this. She invented this to speak with people face to face even though they're not in the same location," Jayce told him, handing him the device.

He then stepped out as Viktor looked at it and called the only number on it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N At least Jinx is on their side, but what is Viktor about to say to Jamie? And dang with Silco, Sevika, and those guys. Also, there are a couple of lines from an episode and they do not belong to me. Just to make sure.
