Family Au pt 5

Your aunt Jinx looks down at you and asks, "Are you excited to meet him?"

   "More nervous." You say simply, they told you that they were taking you to visit a friend of theirs and to introduce you to him. He knew of you, but was apparently very busy and hadn't had the time before now. Your small group walked occasionally stopping to explain why it was important or tell a story from when they were little.

   At one point Vi covered your eyes and Caitlyn covered your ears and said to keep walking saying it wasn't 'kid appropriate'.
   Eventually the dark well traveled streets had less people then turned into even darker tunnels Jinx snapped a glow stick so you could see a little, but even without it your aunt and mama navigated through it easily,  It seemed more like an endless maze to you. When you finally stopped you were met with a dead end. The end of the tunnel was blocked by a large boulder.  Aunt Jinx pounded on the side of the tunnel then waited rocking on the balls of her feet, hand clasped behind her back.

   A moment later a very tall bat vastaya opened the door. He had shockingly bright green eyes, a leather tank-top that was several shades of brown, thick choker and white earrings. He smiled when he saw us and motioned for us to come in. Single file we walked in and you were immediately amazed by the scenery. It was a large circle with lushus green grass rimbed with houses. In the middle there was a ginormous tree with pipes around parts of it, a treehouse and even a balcony, the bright light of the sun highlighting all the metal around the haven forcing you to cover your eyes so they could re-adjust .

   Trying to take it all in you did a small twirl seeing the occasional person on some kind of flying board zip by. You were snapped out of your daze when you heard someone call out, "Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn you made it!"
   Turning around you see a man jogging toward you on his dark brown skin he had an hourglass painted aross his face in white that matched his shockingly white hair with a handful of brown leather cylinders decorating it, he was wearing  some kind of overalls that had a duller hourglass in it with loose fitting pants, a bright orange scarf and brown gloves.

   When he reached you all he pulled jinx into a hug then Vi and nodded to Caitlyn with a smile who did the same. Then he looked down at you, "You must be Y/n your moms and Jinx told me a lot about you." Crouching down to your level he takes your hand and gives it a solid shake, "My name's Ekko."

   You nodded, "That's a cool name." You mumble still looking around in wonder.

   "Thanks kid," he notices you looking around and smiles glad that even someone who lived in Piltover, though you didn't have a good life by any means, was amazed by the beaty of the safe haven that he built for his people. "You like it?" He asks, motioning to the buildings and people behind him.

   You meet his gaze smiling estaticly, "It's super pretty and the tree is so big and those board things look so fun, but if mom wont let me launch a rocket I don't know if she would let me ride one."
   For a second he looks confused on why you would be launching a rocket then looking  back at Jinx with a raised eyebrow who just smiled and waved trying to push a mini rocket launcher behind her back (super inconspiculy). He looks back at you with a small smirk, "Well if your moms say it's okay then we could go on a little ride." He says looking up at Vi and Caitlyn with the best puppy eyes he can manage jutting his lower lip out.

   You look up at your moms jutting out your lower lip when Ekko motions to them with his head, "Please Mom, Mama it would be so fun!"
   Caitlyn pursed her lips and Vi looked up at her fiance, "Come on Cait it would be fun and Ekko would make sure they were perfectly safe." Caitlyn sighed looking down at your puppy faces.

   "Fine-"

   "Yeah!" You started jumping up and down as Ekko clapped his hands excitedly. He looks to Vi for a second when she nods he stands up and looks to you, putting out a hand for you to take. When you take it he smoothly whips out one of the boards hopes on it and pulls you up infront of him still holding your hand and holding you by the waist with the other.

   He looks down at you, "Ready?" you nod and the two of you take off. You let out a squeal of joy as you both shoot off. You nervusly look around tightly gripping Ekko's hand looking down and you see your parents and Jinx. They look much smaller now. You tentatively waved and watched as your family wavedback though your mom looked like she might have a heartattack, your mama looked stressed, but not heartattack level Jinx was simply skipping around though you could tell she was keeping a close eye on you.
   Ekko pointed to a small looking house at the very top of the tree, "That's my room, my labs in there too, the houses around the rim belong to the other firelights who live here and that big house over there is the cafeteria where we all eat together."

   You squint at the small building and say, "Auntie Jinx has a lab too, but I'm not allowed in because it's 'too dangerous' at least that's what my moms say Aunt Jinx said she would child proof it so I couldn't get hurt."  Ekko lets out a deep hearty laugh swooping down closer to the ground to land.

   "Yeah that sounds like them. I'm sure once you're older you at least be able to sneak out to get to her lab."

   "Mhm and I could vist you too, plus Mama said you're like her brother so that makes you my uncle, right?"

   He looked down at you, some kind of look crossed his face before smiling wide, "Yeah, Uncle Ekko got a nice ring to it, one big happy family." When the rest of your family catches up Ekko smiles and pats your shoulder, "See their perfectly back in one piece and everthing." Caitlyn rolls her eyes, but cracks a smile taking your hand.
   "Thank you for letting them do that Ekko, do you want to introduce them to the other firelights?" She suggested. He noddedand guided us around the sanctuary. We met Scar the bat vastaya that opened the door for you and his daughter, Leo, a kid around your age and dozens of other people. It made your head spin.

   It was nightfall by the time you were done meeting everyone. While your moms were busy catching up Jinx poked you lightly in the arm, "Pssst bud." Then motioned with her head for you to follow her. Both of you slinked off your aunt who had been taking you to the massive tree and after climbing many stairs and ladders with the help of Jinx, she pulled you up onto the roof of Ekko's lab so you were at the tippy top.

   The view was breathtaking seeing parts of the trees lower branches, the firelights glowing in the dark with their green bioluminescence and all the happy people who looked much smaller up here, but not as small as from the air.
   You looked over to Aunt Jinx when she nudged you with her shoulder pulling out the small rocket launcher you swore you saw her hide from Ekko. "So I know your moms said you couldn't lauch the big rocket launcher cause eit was 'unsafe' or whatever, but this one is much smaller... So do you want to lauch it?" She asks, you nodded happily bouncing up and down as she carefully placed it in your hands.

   "Now this isn't a toy, but I'll guide you okay?"

   "Mhm" You say simply. Jinx crawls up behind you placing your hand and arms in the right position.
   "There's gonna be a recoil, but I'm right behind you so you'll be fine" She reasures you, "Are you ready." You nod, "Alright pull the tringer!" Straining your small finger a little you pull the trigger and a small rocket shot from it soaring into the sky.

   When it exploded it turned into fireworks, the ary of color painting the night sky. The embers trickling down like fallen stars you grabbed Jinx's hand staring in awe. The colors reflecting in your eyes makes Jinx smile. "You like it?" She asked, you nod leaning into her about to say thank you when you hear your mom yell.

   "Jinx we said no!"
