vii

vi leaned against the wall as she crossed her arms. she kept her eyes closed as she listened to the heavy metal cleaning of the enforcers armor.

"one...two...three..." vi counted under her breath.

"whatre you counting for?" powder asked as she rocked back and forth on her feet.

"enforcers." vi whispered as she opened her eyes and peered out into the busy street. the four kids were hidden between two large buildings in the bustling city of piltover.

powder hummed as she walked beside vi. she stood up on her tippy toes and peered over vi's shoulder trying to see. as she strained her neck to see, powder stumbled and ultimately tripped. a gasp left her lips as she fell forward, her eyes squeezing shut to brace herself for the fall.

only that she didn't meet with the ground. confused, powder turned and looked over her shoulder seeing vi who grabbed her by the shirt. vi let out a hushed sigh as she pulled powder up and slightly pushed her back.

"be careful pow-pow." she whispered loud enough for the blue haired girl to hear. powder nodded as she shuffled back only to let out a slight grunt. she turned looking above her seeing mylo who was glaring down at her before letting out a scoff and walking over to vi.

"why'd you say she could come? shes just gonna jinx the mission again." mylo grumbled as he crossed his arms and leaned up against the wall beside vi.

vi sighed as she closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. "she's just a kid." the pink haired girl defended. vi opened her eyes and looked over at mylo as she crossed her arms. "and besides, she's gonna have to learn how to carry out these missions one day by herself."

mylo nodded as he glanced over at powder. "yeah but c'mon vi. she's tagged along on how many missions now?"

"three or four.." vi mumbled back as she turned her attention to powder who was now sitting on the floor messing with her makeshift bomb.

"and how many of those missions actually ended without us being chased, caught, or thrown in jail?"

vi stayed silent as she watched her sister. the blue haired girl looked up from her bomb to meet vi's eyes and smiled brightly. a sigh left the pink haired girls lips as she turned, her back now to powder.

"alright i get it." she spoke before turning to glance at mylo. "wipe the smug ass grin off your face." she spat before looking out into the street again.

seeing the street was empty of enforcers, vi raised her left hand in the air and motioned to the street as she whistled, catching the others attention. all four kids walked to the sidewalk before huddling together.

"listen, we go in undetected, get the valuables, then we dip. got it?" vi spoke as she looked around at the others. she received a mixtures of nods and hushed "okay"'s before they made their way across the street and into the apartment belonging to one of the council members in piltover.

as they made their way to the apartment, vi leaned against the wall beside the doors to keep a look out in case there were any enforcers coming their way. "mylo!" she whisper shouted as she motioned to the door. mylo nodded as he scurried over and got on his knees as he began to pick the lock on the door.

vi growing impatient and not wanting to get caught groaned under her breath and looked up at claggor. "c.." she mouthed before motioning to the door. claggor hummed as he walked over and stood behind mylo. he lifted his fists and cracked his knuckled before punching the door, sending the pieces of wood flying off the metal hinges.
