Oh, the Misery - Arcane Male Reader Insert

VII: The Boy Savi̸or

"I knew it was a mistake trusting you"

Wha...what?

"You've been a real picnic yourself"

What's going on?

Slowly, you opened your eyes, only to come face to face with fabric covering your face and restrained wrists. Someone cuffed you to a metal pipe

And considering the voices surrounding you, the same could be said for Vi and Caitlyn

You got a bare understanding of your surroundings, but then, a recollection of the recent events hit you like a truck

You had been taken away by a group of masked people in hoverboards right after reuniting with Powder

And it was all because of a misunderstanding, one that not Vi nor you caused

Caitlyn: I'm not the one who walked us into, not one, but two of Silco's traps

You grunted, immediately getting the attention of both girls

You: ᴛʜɪꜱ ɪꜱɴ'ᴛ ꜱɪʟᴄᴏ, ɪᴛ'ꜱ ꜱᴏᴍᴇᴏɴᴇ ᴇʟꜱᴇ

Caitlyn: How do you know?

Vi: 'Cause we'd already be dead

Caitlyn: Oh, very nice. When were you planning to tell me that your lunatic sister works for him?

Consciousness arrived, but with it, came the rage

Because you remembered what made all of this go horribly wrong. It wasn't just these masked folks, it was the fact that there was a second agenda here that you had no idea about

That's it, this had to be talked about

You: ᴏʜ, ɪ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴋɴᴏᴡ, ᴍᴀʏʙᴇ ᴀꜱ ꜱᴏᴏɴ ᴀꜱ ᴡᴇ ᴡᴇʀᴇɴ'ᴛ ʙᴜꜱʏ ᴛʀʏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴀᴠᴇ ᴏᴜʀ ꜰᴜᴄᴋɪɴɢ ʟɪᴠᴇꜱ. ʏᴏᴜʀꜱ ɪɴᴄʟᴜᴅᴇᴅ

Vi: You should've come clean about what the hell you're really doing down here

Caitlyn: I told you the truth

You: ᴛʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ʙᴜʟʟꜱʜɪᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ɪᴛ!

Cait gasped at your sudden outburst, the cuffs that restrained you brutally tightening on your wrist as you tried to stand up. Truth to be told, you were still trying to hold back, but the sting of betrayal was in full effect

Caitlyn: I thought we were after the same thing! Exposing Silco's plans and bringing his empire down

You: ɪ ꜰᴀɪʟ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴇᴇ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ᴅᴏᴇꜱ ᴀ ꜰᴜᴄᴋɪɴɢ ᴘᴇʙʙʟᴇ ꜰɪᴛ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴘʟᴀɴ

Vi: What was that glowing stone anyway?

Then, Caitlyn did what you feared the most, she remained silent

She refused to tell you what was really going on

Vi: That's what I thought

You sighed, leaning against the pipe that held you in place. This had been your mission ever since you got your memory back

You were completely honest with her, fully entrusting her with your investigation, and after all of that, it just hurt that the same couldn't be said for her

You: ɪ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛ ᴡᴇ ᴛʀᴜꜱᴛᴇᴅ ᴇᴀᴄʜ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ, ᴄᴀɪᴛʟʏɴ

Caitlyn's heart broke a little at this. She looked in the direction of your voice
