Afloat (Vi x OC)- Arcane: League of Legends

6

Vi stays in the room and continues to cry. She can't get the look of Benzo out of her mind. Vander getting beaten, Wren... Oh dear god what is he going to do to Wren? The door opens and Vi looks up to see Ekko standing there, also crying. Vi walks closer and Ekko breaks as he starts to cry harder. Vi gives him a hug, holding the back of his head in comfort, "I saw everything," Ekko says, "Be-Benzo. They... and-and Wren. Vander," Ekko says. Vi just sits there and holds him, "They took her and Vander. They took them, Vi," Ekko sobs.

Vi's eyes harden, "Where?"

When Wren opens her eyes, the first thing she notices is Vander tied to a chair. She moves forward but stops when a chain holds her back. She turns and sees her hand cuffed to the wall. She starts pulling at it more but it's useless. Vander hears the chains and turns to see Wren is finally awake, "Wren!" Vander whispers, "Are you alright?"

Wren nods at him, "Who's Silco?" She asks.

Vander sighs, "Someone from the past who I believed was dead," Vander says, "The man, who killed Benzo, he was powered by Shimmer. Silco created it. He's going to kill me and then will inject it into you. He wants to make you into a soldier," Wrens eyes widen at the information. She'd rather die than become one of his puppets, "Sevika is with him now. Same with some others from the Lanes," Wren's head drops. The woman from the bar who was fighting Vander. She's with Silco now. He's building an army.

"You know Vi and the boys are going to come after us, right?" Wren whispers.

"I hope not,"

"She will. She's a fighter," Wren whispers.

"I know," Vander replies, "There's no getting out of this," His voice low. Wren leans back and pulls her knees to her chest. Her head leans on the wall as she sits and waits for her imminent fate. She doesn't respond to Vander. He doesn't mind, there's no need for her to say anything. Her silence was enough.

Back at the Lanes, Vi enters The Last Drop. Her face stained with the tears that spilled. Ekko told her where Wren and Vander are being kept. Mylo and Claggor are fighting on which weapon they can use against the enforcers while Powder sits on her bed, sadly looking at the stuffed bunny. When Vi walks in, Powder jumps up excited to see her sister back.

"Vi?" Claggor asks.

"Where's the-" Vi starts but is cut off by Powder running up and hugging her.

"Vi!" Powder says, "You're back!" Powder lets go as her happy reaction turns into a sad confused one. Vi lets go of her and goes to grab Vander's gauntlets from the table of weapons.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Mylo asks, "Those are Vander's. Slow down. What's going on?"

"Benzo's dead," Vi says.

"Dead?" Claggor speaks up, shocked.

"They took Wren and Vander,"

"Who took them, Vi?" Mylo asks. Vi looks up at him with a sad look, still trying to figure that out herself.

"I don't know but I need to help them,"

"We're going with you!"

"Whatever killed Benzo... I've never seen anything like it. It tore him apart," Vi says.

"You're not doing this alone, Vi," Claggor says. Him and Mylo going over to comfort her.

"He's our father too. And Wren..."  Vi looks at Mylo as he trails off. Both of them give each other a knowing look. Both of them have feelings for her, "Do we know where they took them?"
