🦁 Harebrained

Jinx found herself without Vi or Agata as Mizuchi approached her with two others. "Why if it isn't the first year freak?" She greeted, grinning cruelly. "Why if it isn't the Chocolate-Vanilla swirl-looking bitch." Jinx shot back, seeing her stare with bewilderment. "You brat!" Jinx gritted her teeth as she felt her hair be pulled, her head pinned to the wall.

You're a jinx.

Jinx swung at Mizuchi, clocking her in the jaw. She swung again, knocking her down. The rabbit stared up at her in fear, the other two not knowing what to do. Jinx pulled out her gun, shoving the barrel into Mizuchi's mouth. "Beg." Jinx demanded. "I said BEG!" The rabbit let out a scream for mercy, to which Agata picked up Jinx. The three bullies ran away in fear of Jinx, who was screaming at them. "You got lucky this time!" Jinx screamed, Agata bringing her to her dorm. "What the fuck was that?!?" Agata whispered, in shock. "They were bullying me." Jinx reasoned, showing that the gun wasn't even loaded.

Vi stared in disbelief at Powder. Her younger sister, sweet and curious, was willing to blow out someone's brains. She swallowed quietly, part of her wondering what the Shishigumi had done to her. "Next time, don't go immediately for your gun." Agata pleaded quietly, to which Powder nodded.

Agata left the room to use the bathroom, Jinx putting stuff away. "What have they done to you?" Vi questioned. Jinx looked over, tilting her head. "Who?" "The Shishigumi. You weren't like this, you never tried to kill people on purpose." Vi explained, in shock. "They taught me not to take other's bullshit." Jinx reasoned, grabbing her Twitch. "Yeah, but... This isn't you. You're Powder of Zaun, the sweetheart inventor!" Vi protested, eyes wide. "I'm not POWDER anymore! I'm Jinx! I'm The Black Market Princess! Powder got eaten by wolves, Jinx survived!" She screamed, heart thudding in her chest. "You're still Powder."

"And you're still in Vander's shadow." Jinx shot back with a glare to go with her words, seeing Vi stare in shock. "We could go and start anew, we could go back and find Ekko and-" "I'm not going anywhere, Vi. This world is my home. The Shishigumi took me in when I had nobody. They found me and took care of me. They're my family." Jinx explained, then gave a sigh. "They're my home."

Vi tried to think of what to say, angry and bitter at herself. This wouldn't have happened if you didn't tell her where you were going. This wouldn't have happened if you gave her a gun in the first place... This wouldn't have happened if you just beat the shit out of Mylo. Vi stared at the floor, then closed her eyes. You did this. You turned her into this. It's your fault for not doing enough. "I just wanted to have you back." "And you do..."

"You just have to accept that I'm Shishigumi now."
