A flashback to when powder and Vi were braiding my hair
*
*
We were so young my hair long and magenta
My skin soft and a brown skin tone

"C?"
I heard my name being called and turned my head.
Being pulled out of my memory again
"C?"
"Who the hell are you two?"

'Should I take off my mask reveal myself?'
'No it's too risky'

"Are you okay C?"
Caitlyn watched my movements

" yea I'm fine I was just thinking something.."
I looked to my side

"Okay.. I took a look at your file there is no record of you or your crimes... what are you here for?"
"My sunny personality"
Vi moved around her cell
"You attacked an inmate... why?"
"Why not?"
"He was a witness in an ongoing investigation."
"Hm bummer"
Caitlyn sighs
"This was a waste of time"
Caitlyn begins to move back to the elevator
"Couldn't have put it better. Hey give silco a kiss on that winning eye of his, will you?"

'Silco..'
Caitlyn stops in her tracks and looks back
And walks back
"Silco ? The industrialist?"
"Okay, this is getting old."
I sigh getting annoyed as well
" can you just send in whoever's gonna kick the shit out of me, so I can get on with my night?"

My eyes widen
"They beat you?"
I turn my head back to Vi.
"Duh they do"
Vi replies to me
Caitlyn shows some evidence she has to Vi
"Does this mean anything to you?"
Vi looks up at it then bounces at the cell
"Where did you get this?"
She asks wanting to know more.
"My question first. He worked for silco?"
"Uh. They all do. How can anyone not know that? Where did you find this?"
"There was an attack. This is evidence . I need proof if I'm to believe what you saying about silco"
Vi scoffs
"I could get it for you. Just not from in here"
Caitlyn laughs
"In what mad world would I trust someone like you?"
"Someone like me? You enforcers are all the same. Asshole criminals in fancy uniforms"
Caitlyn looks to me for help.
I just shrugged
"What can I say it's true?"
"You know what ? Find silco yourself."
" I will, thank you."
Caitlyn walks again
"Hmm... undercity's gonna eat you alive."
Caitlyn slows down as I follow her looking at Vi one more time.
We got back up and caitlyn request to take Vi out
The warden thinks she needs to be taught a lesson.
"You nasty piece of shit. How do you live with yourself" I point to him getting closer to beat his ass.
Caitlyn pulls me back
"No."
She says disgusted
"Oh"
"It's for her release."
"Huh. Since when's he a councilor?"
"Since-... today."
He scoffs
"How many chats have you've had with her?"
"You know, I never even thought to count."
" alright you little Fucking bitch!"
I try to fight him again
"Calm down C!"
" I should put you in the ground!"
I push caitlyn off me and we start to walk but I turn around to him before we leave
"I will be back and when I'm back. You'll feel hell"
I smile and keep walking hearing his complaints.




We open up the cell to VI's cell.
And we walk out of the evil prison.
•••

We are going down the undercity
I've realized Vi hasn't done a run in a while
"I'm going down!"
She jumps down running and I chase her .
Caitlyn taking a second to come down with us
We run together and jump together.
"Hey this is fun isn't it!"
She says while we run
"Yea..."

Like old times

Vi stops and stares at the top of the city.
"Miss it?"
I asked
"A bit"
We hit the floor and someone whistled to us
Trying to touch up on us.
"Nice jacket"
Vi looks down on
We take them down and vi takes the jacket
We finally find caitlyn
"You almost got me kill"
Caitlyn breathes
"My little sisters could do that when she was seven. All us fissure folk can. Don't you want to  blend in?"
I follow Vi and caitlyn groans
Following us

We stop at food stop knowing Vi probably hasn't gotten any food yet
"Oh Jericho have I missed these"
He just laughs chopping more food
I eat some octopus
My mask half way up so I can eat .
"Are you going to question him?"
"About what? The meat?"
"No about silco"
"We're here because I'm hungry"
"Unbelievable I didn't break you out of jail to eat... slop."
"You don't know anything do you?
I watch it break down.
And my eyes wonder around messing everything I used to do with mylo,clagger, Vi, and powder

The guy takes vi's bowl and gives her a note for information
Leaving caitlyn shocked and vi and me start to walk again
"Hmm"

....

We end up at some sexual zone of people
"What are we supposed to do here?"
Caitlyn asked shocked
"I guess act like we work here" say to caitlyn
"And Vi? What is you plan exactly here?"
" well I'm going to speak to the owner."
"Hm alright.."

After a few minutes

I go to search the area
Vi walks through the halls.
I walk with her

"Hey.. I realized I haven't fully said my name yet? How did you know my name?"

"Uhhh a guess?"
I laugh confused
"Hm.."
We walk quietly together

I've missed you Vi but I can't even imagine what you've seen or been through

'I'm so very sorry for leaving you all alone when I could've went with you all. I could've been with you all in your deaths.'

I return to my imagination, my... memories

Me,mylo and clagger.
They always were like older brothers to me
The last memory of them was when clagger gave me a piggy back ride and we ran the streets looking for trouble...
Mylo laughing as we took some treasure of someone's being chased by them we all laugh running away from them.

Mylo and clagger

Where left in my memories.
The good one I try to keep.
