Oh, the Misery - Arcane Male Reader Insert

V: Everybody Wants to Be My Enemy

"I took a look at your file. There's no record of you or your crimes. What are you here for?"

Caitlyn Kiramman. Former Enforcer. Outcast. Currently breaking the law

"My sunny personality"

Violet "Vi". Vander's prodigy. One of three survivors. Arrested by said law

Caitlyn: You attacked an inmate. Why?

Vi: Why not?

Caitlyn asked from outside the cell. Her eyes fixed on the woman walking inside. One that didn't even spare her a look

Caitlyn: He was a witness in an ongoing investigation

Vi: So I've heard. Bummer

Caitlyn sighed as she held the leather book of notes that had now both hers and her best friend's theories

Caitlyn: This was a waste of time

Vi: Couldn't have put it better

Just as Cait was about to leave her, Vi decided to say something. Something that would change everything

Vi: Hey, give Silco a kiss on that winning eye of his, will you?

This odd comment made Kiramman stop in her tracks and return to Vi's cell

Caitlyn: Silco? The industrialist?

Vi: Okay, this is getting old. Can you just send in whoever's gonna kick the shit out of me, so I can get on with my night?

The former Enforcer didn't listen. She focused on what Vi said earlier

Silco, the underground's most notorious personality

And according to the notes you wrote in the book she was currently consulting, also the man that murdered your family and presumably took control of the Lanes for himself

This girl knew something, and Caitlyn was going to discover what it was

So she took a risk and approached the cell, stepping past the recommended distance marked by a red stripe on the floor, and she showed Vi a specific page of the book

This one had random notes surrounding a symbol. The symbol present on the airship's hatch during the attack that started this investigation

Caitlyn: Does this mean anything to you?

Seeing this monkey awoke something in the pink-haired girl. A fire

That urge to protect, to find her family

Vi: Where did you get this?

Vi slammed her hands into the bars of her cell door. Her tough and dismissive attitude changed drastically to genuine concern

The sound of her fists getting ahold of the cells in such a violent manner was loud enough to generate a reaction. Not only did it startle Caitlyn, but it also jolted someone awake

"Y/N". Vander's blood son. Former singer. On your way to change the undercity

You

Caitlyn: My question first. He worked for Silco?

Vi answered quickly, not caring much for her question, but rather, focusing on the monkey drawing

Vi: Uh, they all do. How can anyone not know that? Where did you find this?

Then she looked over at your cell, with the same urgency

Vi: Y/N? You in there?

There was no answer, but hearing your name being called out forced you to get a hold of your surroundings faster
