Gizmo's POV

I walked into me and Jinx's room that we shared. It was a rather giant room because of the space needed for Jinx's "gadget testing" and my "practice doodles" meaning that Jinx blew up our last room and this ginormous room was covered from head to toe in different art pieces I had practiced in the last 6 years. As I walked in Jinx was blasting some loud obnoxious music, obviously trying to tune me out. "It wasn't her." She said while throwing a bomb over the side"it wasn't! I know, Just some wannabe street trash." She was talking to her visions again, I guess she hadn't noticed me enter yet. "I got confused that's all-." "We both did"  she finally had noticed my presence. " I thought it was her too" I started laughing a bit. "Almost killed Sevika in the process." "Ugh, I wish you had." She said getting up as giggling a bit. "You are really good at cheering people up y'know, you're like a big ball of sunshine." Sunshine. I had forgotten about that nickname. Vi's go-to nickname for me. As she said that it was like every memory that I had ever had of Vi calling me that nickname flashed through my head. And it hurt. Like for instance the one time I asked Vi why she called me that and she simply replied with "because your so bright and warm like a ray of sunshine." But I could hear Mylo in the corner whisper to Claggor. "Yeah and if you stare at her to long Vi will make sure your fave hurts." Apparently he wasn't as good at whispering as he thought he was because I looked over to see Vi giving him a death glare before turning back to me and smiling. Thinking about that time, them alive, almost hurt as much as being left behind. Almost. As Jinx spoke again I tried to shake that scene out of my head. "Let's show them, how much of an asset we really are." " what do you mean by that?" " let's show Silco." I paused for a minute, I really didn't know what to think. Jinx was unstable and whatever she was about to suggest would probably blow up in our faces. But I was mad too, and I wanted to show him too. "Okay, What did you have in mind?"After she explained the plan we grabbed some stuff and headed over to Piltover.

Once everything was set up I set the fire and we waited for the enforcers to notice. That's when a blue haired girl ran in. She looked fairly young, that kinda threw me off. Most of the enforcers are just older drunken assholes in need of a job. Jinx's recording started to yell like a little girl as I stifled a laugh as to not draw attention to myself. As the enforcers started to put out the fire, clearing some of the smoke, the bombs became visible. As did my signature symbol. I could tell that the blue haired girl knew of me judging off of her reaction to the symbol. She started to yell at everyone to get out. Just as she did the building exploded, everything was going according to plan. The blue haired girl was falling in and out of continuousness. I thought that since she was smart enough to figure out about me, I might as well keep her around. And with that I dragged her to the side and out of the flames. Little did I know she saw do so. Then Jinx called for me and when went into the big building they were supposed to be protecting. We grabbed the gem as soon as we could and got out of there. I felt so alive as me and Jinx were running through the streets, laughing, passing the gemstone we had just stolen. I hadn't felt this alive in years. Not since we lost them. As we got back to the base we were still laughing and making jokes about how pathetic the enforcers were. As much fun as I was having, I kept getting deja vu of old times, running through the streets, stealing from piltover, blowing buildings up, just this time not on accident. It made my visions worse. It made Claggor more visable. I told Jinx I was going to get some art supplies from an old dealer down the road but really I was going to see Ekko. That's what I always did when I get bad flashbacks. "You know, no ones guarding you right now, not Silco, not Sevika, hah,not even Jinx." Claggor just kept taughting me "you keep saying you have to stay here, that there's no way out once your in this deep, but you know what I think. I don't think it's that you can't leave, I think you won't leave." "Shut up" it came out as more of a whisper. As anger as I was, I already get enough stares as it is being Silco's psychotic daughter.

As I reached my destination I went up to the roof to look down in. I could see him, Ekko, I would never approach him, just watch him. It was almost therapeutic, he was doing so well now with his rebellion. Watching him thrive was just about the only thing keeping me sane. I try my best to hold onto that, sanity, I know that on the road I'm on I will eventually loose my mind. But who cares, it's not like I've got anything left to loose. Vi, Claggor, Vander, Mylo, even Powder, Silco thinks that sense everyone and everything that ever mattered to me before Gizmo was gone, October should be too. I followed Ekko for a little bit, Watched him work on some boards and play with the kids. I didn't kill kids, I couldn't, Jinx would always joke about it saying that she "doesn't understand how my morals are set up, we kill hundreds but the second a kid is involved I all the sudden have a moral compass." I never told her why. It's because every time I look at one of those kids I see powder. The only kid I've ever killed.

Eventually I had to get back so I drew my symbol in a empty room and left. I couldn't stay for too long or Jinx would get suspicious. I never told her about my visits with Ekko. She wouldn't have liked it and probably would have gone after their base. I tried to get back as fast as possible. My delusions have been getting worse. I really need to go see Silco about that. He had this special kind of shimmer designed for me so if I was getting bad visions, acting to sane, or even just rebelling in general he would inject me with it to keep Gizmo and hide Toby. He said that it was the safest way, and he was right, the responsibility that comes with being his right hand girl is that I can not ,under any circumstances, screw. up.
