The Base Violence Necessary for Change

"Well, if the enforcers hit tonight, we'll be ready."

Mylo said as Y/N tried to comfort Powder. 

"..I think."

"Dibs on the bat."

"No, no, no, no! I found it!"

"But I called it."

"But I found it!"

"Respect the dibs!"

Y/N got fed up with the two arguing, putting a finger to their mouth and shushing them. That lasted for about two seconds, before Mylo and Claggor went back to bickering. Y/N sighed and went back to trying to comfort Powder.

"Hey, its gonna be okay. I'm sure she'll come back!"

No response. Y/N sighed as the other two kept fighting, eventually deciding to give up and almost lay down beside Powder. That is, until Vi came through the door, seemingly distressed.

"Vi?"

Suddenly, Powder got up and nearly sprinted towards Vi, pulling her into a very tight hug. Well, as tight as Powder really COULD hug her. However, Vi had no response. She just looked at Powder for a few moments, shakily breathing, before going towards the weapons. She reached for Vander's metal gloves, or tried to until Mylo stopped her.

"Hey! Those are Vander's. Slow down. What's going on?"

"You sound surprisingly caring."

"Benzo's dead."

"Dead?"

"They took Vander."

"Who took Vander?"

"I don't know. But I need to help him."

"We're going with you."

"Whatever killed Benzo.. Was like nothing I've ever seen."

Vi clenched her fists, tears welling up in her eyes. Being honest, Y/N had never seen Vi cry, or look so distressed. It was.. Weird. Vi always seemed so strong. Powder was worried too, Y/N could definitely see that.

"You're not doing this alone Vi."

"Yeah, he's our father too."

While those three started conversing, both Y/N and Powder started getting their stuff. Powder packed her monkey bombs, and Y/N started putting on their skates, and grabbing their baseball bat. Powder stood in front of Vi, smiling and holding her case. Vi looked at her and sighed.

"I need you to sit this one out, Powder."

"What?"

"You're not coming."

"I'm not afraid."

"It's too dangerous."

"But..! But families stick together, you said it yourself!"

"I know what I said.."

"I want to fight! I can help!"

"You're not ready."

Y/N widened their eyes and looked back and forth between the two sisters. That was.. Odd. To say the least. The very least. Usually these two were inseparable, like they both always understood each other and functioned almost perfectly. Like sisters.

"You're all I have left. I can't lose you. Both of you.. That's why Y/N's staying here with you."

Y/N stayed quiet as Vi put a hand on Powder's cheek, to which Powder nuzzle into it before a single tear streamed down her cheek. Y/N pulled Powder into a slight hug before. Vi turned to give Powder something.
