The whole council building is still under reconstruction after jinx's attack, it's been a while and after that war there's so much more to build again.

Hextech will make people's lives better

Hextech did improve lives but it is no more, with Jayce and Viktor gone there's no one to make hextech.

Trade has been shut down for now, rebuilding is at it's peak.

The paint, the Viktor people humanoids, the Viktor nation, remaining hextech weapons were being removed as if they never existed.

I'm gonna ride in one of those things one day

Vi stood at the ledge of the crippling building, where Jinx sacrificed herself.

"Why are so many things broken now?"

She swore it was like yesterday they were stealing from Jayce's apartment...has those times really flown away?

"Families..."

I didn't knew your mom was there

Caitlyn had told her about the encounter, she knew Jinx wanted herself to fade with the time being and she did.

You're not gonna give up on me? Are you?

How could she? Not again... She couldn't have left her like she did back then.

I'm always with you even when we're worlds apart

Of course we are...

You haunt me even in my dreams Jinx..

"Buildings"

This building has been left the way it was after the fight, a homage to both of them. She always comes here when she is alone.

Listening to the fading voices of Vander and Jinx.

"I can't tell if the voices are fading or it's just me blocking them out"

Am I doing something wrong again?  Do I really have to forget you guys? Can I ever even forget you Jinx?

Deep breaths...

I am fine, doesn't matter if I forget or not they're gone either way!

Her thoughts returned to their track, the wind whispers the song of isolation.

Always a dance with you...

Little did she knew that something about Ekko changed, something between him and Jinx that was kept hidden from her but her guts know what it might be...

maybe

there's a possibility

"Hearts"
∆-------------------------∆

"I've gone through the documents of the ventilation over and over again, she could never escape from those, they were far  from the explosion sector for her to reach them in time but again...this is Jinx"

Caitlyn looks over her notebook filled with the theories of her rates to survive and not, she won't say it out but without her Caitlyn feels aimless, despite everything she's the one that kept her going in the end, she made hating her so easy Caitlyn became too used to it, nothing like 10 minutes of master planning on how to shoot your girlfriend's baby sister through the head.

She couldn't survive an explosion this close...

"Then again this is the lunatic,crazy, unstable and unpredictable blue globin that escapes everytime...

whether it's an explosion at arm's range,

Look who it is?! The boy saviour...

Whether it's a creature that was once a man,

VANDER!!

Whether it's being left behind always

Violet please come back! Violet I need you!?

Whether being hunted like an animal,

We capture Jinx,

Whether it's to do a break your lil child out of jail..."

Being brought to Stillwater to break others out

She wouldn't survive that-

"Then again Jinx had a variant of shimmer which might mean..."

Her eyes scan the documents of ventilation.

"She is alive... she has to be alive!"

Sometimes we do something unspeakable for love

Dr. Corin Reveck walks through the technician street of recovering piltover, valuable and rare mechanical parts being given away for neglectable price.

Every genius would utilise this opportunity

He takes a turn and enters the council building quarters, walking in to Jayce's lab while shoving a hextech gem in his pocket. A figure watches him while leaning on wall.

"I still don't understand why the council would trust you"

Dr. Reveck grabs a few blueprints, his back turned towards the figure.

"That because of what I did or is it something else entirely?"

His rough voice echoes in the room as Caitlyn steps forward.

she won't let him get to her head, he won't be able trick her

"You can't play tricks on me again Dr"

"Can I? Now I wasn't being guile"

His face breaks into a smile that's more sinister  than reassuring.

"you can't bend the words to deceive me"

Reveck haults, the one eyed woman is watching him, he knows she found something.

a glimpse of hope

"I can tell... What are you still searching?"

Happiness,lost loved one... Something that only he knows and has.

"Something fragile and perilous"

"It would harm the new found peace"

"It won't, I'll make sure of it"

"I see"

Reveck looks at her face, analysing the determined and fierce look in her eye. It's for a special reason he can tell, it's a feeling that he has known for years.

Caitlyn's look doesn't fray under his gaze, she has a reason to still fight for and she won't stop at nothing because it's for Vi, she knows how it feels to lose someone...if she can help she definitely would.

Or is it something else entirely?

"This isn't your quest so why bother?"

Taking the essentials, he reaches for Viktor's cane,putting all the essentials in. The wheels in his head start to turn... Does she know about his new subject?

"Your tricks won't work here Dr Reveck"

Her eyes scan the bag full of materials, studying every piece and looking for the uses of each.

"What're you making with those? Haven't you gotten what you wanted"

"Having the desired possession is indeed satisfying but being able to keep the possession in good condition is another thing"

He hands her the bag from himself and turns towards the door, not looking back knowing she'll follow his steps.

"That is true however you have been taking more than enough supplies with you which seems suspicious"

Caitlyn walks through the hall with him, keeping the bag close, nodding at any guards that walk by.

"Essentials aren't suspicious, if I took shimmer variants that'd be seen as suspicious"

"Hmm I can tell you aren't experimenting"

"Preparation is also needed time to time "

"For what? Preparation needs reason"

"I like to be prepared for events, keeping extra necessities is never a waste"

"Events? Such as?"

A moment of silence passes as officers and medical doctor walk by them, attending to their respective tasks.

"Life"

Caitlyn nods while in her head she doubts this reason but not displaying her doubt as Dr Reveck moves with slow steps.

"Your life sounds easy now doesn't it?"

Dr Reveck steps out the door, taking the bag he nods.

life ain't fair

"My life is like  yours, now if it's easy or not? is a decision yours to make Caitlyn"

"Then what are you working on Dr? I have a mission in mind I know what I am searching for "

"I will reveal when it's time"

"When's the time gonna come? I don't have time to waste Dr"

"Patience child time doesn't come or go on our demand"

"The longer I take the more unbearable becomes the pain"

De Reveck's eyes downcast for a split second before they meet hers with something in them, a thought skips in Caitlyn's mind.

he certainly takes shimmer-

''Time heals all wounds, the pain will fade with the years"

It doesn't , it increases pain

"Does it? I find it hard to believe " Her face twists in a scowl.

"It does, it only has been awhile since you came in this world, you don't know the nature of time yet"

"Maybe but I've seen and known incidents that not even the eldest had known so I doubt if that's true"

"Give it some time, rest and move forward, time can only help in progress "

I should give it some time

" Doesn't mean I can't work on my goal, I only ask for your compliance"

"Though you know what you're searching for and say you get my assistance even so would you know where to search for?"

"I'll do it anyways "

"Answer do you have an idea of where to look for? The undercity or here?"

"I... I don't know yet but I will soon"

"Very well, talk to me when you do"

Reveck walks away leaving Caitlyn standing there, left behind with nothing that could help.
