Chapter 4: The Family Friend
(A/N Her outfit minus the mask, gun, and knee pads and the pants are solid green.)
Jamie made it down without any trouble. Well, if you don't count some pervs trying to hit on her and her teaching them a lesson trouble. She was a lot tougher than she looked, especially since she was used to this.
She headed to the Last Drop, remembering one family friend ran the place. She went in and sat at the bar.
"What'll it be?" the bartender asked.
"What do you think, Vander?" Jamie smirked.
A light chuckle escaped the bartender before he turned around.
"Nice to see you again, Jamie," he told her, fixing her drink.
"You too," she smiled.
He got her a drink and they talked for a bit then Jamie decided to ask him the one question she asked other friends of the family.
"Vander, I need to know something," Jamie said.
"What's that?" Vander wondered.
She sighed then questioned, "Five years ago, did you take in Vi and Powder?"
He froze for a minute before sighing and answering, "Yes. I would've taken you in too, but I thought you were dead, though the girls've said otherwise."
"I saw you carry them away. I tried to follow, but you got a huge head start and I was injured, so I went to a good friend of mine," Jamie said then asked, "You didn't tell them I'm alive, did you?"
"No," Vander answered.
"Good. They deserve to be raised by better and that's you," she replied sadly, finishing her drink.
"Jamie, you have your life together up there. Why do you keep putting yourself down?" he said.
"Do I look like I'm fit to raise them? Besides, if Vi thinks I'm alive, she probably thinks I abandoned them. I can't bear to hear that," Jamie responded.
"Well, take it from me. Both will need you whether you think so or not. Just think about it, okay?" Vander requested.
"I can try, but for now, don't tell them I was here," she said, getting her money.
"On the house, especially for family," he said.
Jamie smiled, but still grabbed some cash.
"At least have this for them. They need it more than me," Jamie replied.
"Alright. If it'll help you sleep better," Vander obliged, taking the money.
She then headed out and noticed four kids coming toward the place. She hid in the shadows and saw they were two boys and two girls, the girls being Vi and Powder. She smiled, seeing how they were doing alright, but it was a sad smile, feeling she couldn't reveal herself to them. She stopped some tears forming before heading back to Piltover.

A/N Well, I plainly said it; Vi and Powder are Jamie's sisters. Did anyone see that coming? I'm betting you did. 😂 Anyway, back to it.
