Walls come tumbling down | jinx x reader

Jinx paces about the roof, angrily running her hands through her hair as she fiddles with her braids, talking to herself and laughing as I stand by, just watching her and rubbing my arm anxiously.

"Enforcers!" I hear her laugh, before flicking a grenade off of her belt and swinging the ring off it, the jaws beginning to clash down together as its eyes flash repeatedly, "Enforcers! The people that fucking killed Mom and Dad! And she's FUCKING one?" She yells, swinging the grenade far ahead into the deep pit that her home was settled in, a loud bang sounding in the distance as the pit lights up, causing me to swallow harshly.

"And you." She turns to me suddenly, walking towards me as she points her finger, jabbing forward as I dodge it, "You didn't fucking tell me. Why. Why didn't you tell me she was FUCKING ALIVE!" She shoves me, her palms connecting to my shoulders as she slams me to the floor, towering over me as I scramble back, lifting my hands in front of my face as I whimper out, "I couldn't. You'd freak out and go mental, please Powder even the way you're reacting now is jus-"

"LIAR!" She shouts, slamming her hand across my face with a strong slap, cutting me off mid sentence as I stare at the floor in shock, feeling hands grab at my shirt as she yanks my up to a standing position, pushing her face closer to mine as she laughs, "You good for nothing liar. Of course you'd lie! Even Silco did! And Silco alllllwaaayyysss rambles on about betrayal too." She murmurs, her eyes darting around the room anxiously as she looks around, releasing my shirt before walking off forward, fiddling with her fingers as she lets out throaty screams at the air, presumably at more of her hallucinations.

"Powder I wanted to tell you... but I thought-"

"You thought what?" She cuts in again, spinning to stare at me.

"I thought that if I dealt with her then we wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. That you wouldn't freak out if you found out she were alive..." I say slowly, cringing at her laughing at me again as she places her hands on her hips.

"If anyone should deal with Vi it's me. I'm her fucking sister... sisters! Right?" her laughter turns nervously, crossing her arms and hunching over to hug herself, still looking around as she watches me walk forward slowly, feeling the way her eyes scanned my body as tears brimmed her eyes, "I thought I missed her... I thought she loved me but I don't know anymore... I don't know what's real, who's lying, who's telling the truth nor what's going on I just-"

Her speech and ramble is cut off by the way my arms wrap around her slowly, pulling her into my chest as I squeeze lightly in a welcoming embrace, feeling the way her body tenses for a moment before she finally relaxes, letting her sobs fly out as she nuzzles her face into my chest, wrapping her arms back around me and squeezing tightly, her body trembling.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Powder." I say solemnly, feeling her gently rub her nose against my chest as I rest my chin on her head, "Vi is still alive and roaming the lanes free, I was ordered to kill her off so that you could be kept safe, Silco didn't want you to know because he knew you'd react badly," I continue, before I feel Jinx look back up at me.
"Kill her?! That's my sister!" She exclaims, her eyes wide and scared as I look down to meet her gaze.
"I know she is, I was only following orders and she's still alive anyway, Sevika found out and told Silco, then he told m-"

"Sevika? That ugly, lying ogre couldn't even get a simple job done!" She growls, releasing her arms around me and taking a step back, watching as I cross my own arms.
"Sevika was going to tell you, but Silco was begging her not to because he knew she wanted you to flip." I shrug simply, gulping as I meet her gaze that was glaring holes into mine, twitching and her shoulders shaking as I bring my hands up, "I'm only the messenger Powder, I'm not the enemy here please calm down-"
"I will find my sister." She snuffs out, crossing her arms and hunching her shoulders up as she shakes slightly, glancing away as her brows knit together.

I frown at this, knowing that she can never decide between loving her sister or downright hating her, tilting my head softly.
"Are you cold...?" I say slowly, and she just shakes her head, but her lips were blue and her body was trembling.
"No, I'm not." She says lowly, her voice laced with no emotion whatsoever as she glances back up at her desk, the foundation of Fishbones coming together, or I think she called him Fishbones... she does have a tendency to name her weapons.

I nod knowingly at this, "So...-"
"Why would you kill her...? I thought you two were close during childhood." She speaks up, looking up at me with a tilt of her head.
"Well..." I gently raise my hand up to rub the back of my head, mumbling to myself as I take this question in. She wasn't wrong, me and Vi were incredibly close, fighting together, stealing shit and just being overall idiots... I'm not entirely sure as to why I was going to follow Silco's orders to wipe her, before it clicks, "I'm... scared...?"
"Scared?" She questions this, and I nod softly.
"I'm scared of your Dad, you know? Scary man." I shiver, rubbing my arms as she rolls her eyes, placing her hands on her hips.
"Nah, he's a big baby." She giggles, before her face turns monotone again, "I'm going to find Vi, no matter the buildings I have to destroy and no matter the people I have to go through." She smiles, walking over to the table as I stutter.
"Wait, buildings? Powder what are you up to..."

"Ka-Boom..." She mimics, winking at me after glancing over her shoulder, finger-gunning the air before blowing imaginary smoke from the tips of her two fingers.
