Vi swung her hands towards a machine. She was the best in the group to throw punches. 

And she proved it a lot during fights and even with punching Machines like these. 

But it did take a toll on her hands being messed up and bloody all the time. 

Vi wouldn't even break a sweat when she does stuff like this. It felt like a walk in the park for her.

As usual she didn't break a sweat today as she reached second place on the score board. 

"Remind me why we bother with this dump?" Mylo asked Vi as he grabbed a toy gun.

"Vander said to lay low" Vi answered as she rolled her shoulders. 

"Enforcers never come down here, so this is as good a place as any" Vi added.

"Oh, what's the matter, Mylo? You worried Powder's going to beat you again" Claggor said

Mylo turned to him taking slight offense to this. 

"Hey, if she didn't keep fixing these things, I wouldn't keep missing!" Mylo said.

Right on time, Powder came out from behind the counter as she held the plugs for the game.

She connected the plugs together as they turned on the game fully. 

The game lights up with cool designs on them. 

She jumped over from the counter and got on the same side as Mylo.

Mylo, trying to act all cool he flips his gun to the side as he starts shooting. And of course he misses every shot. 

Vi stopped practicing as she took off her gloves. You could tell they were hurting her. She looked over her shoulder to the others.

"You guys know I wouldn't take you on a job you couldn't handle, right?" Vi asked

"Are you kidding? That was the best job we've ever done" Mylo said

"Maybe Just don't bring Powder next time" Mylo added.

Powder gave him a look before she filled her toy gun fully. She knew one way to make him shut up and it was by showing off a skill none of them seem to realize could help them on these jobs.

She aimed the gun and started shooting every single time she shot she would hit the targets. She hit them and never missed a shot.

Once she was done she put her gun down and made another look at Mylo before walking over to another arcade game. 

Powder started to play with another arcade game as her chin rested on her palm. 

"Vi" Powder called out to her sister.

"Yeah?" Vi answered, turning to her sister.

"Where's Ace?" Powder asked

"Well last I saw him he was talking to his girl" Vi said

Powder looked over at Vi with a confused but shocked face. 

"What girl? What does she look like? How old is she?" Powder asked. Poor Powder would get slightly jealous when Ace went to go talk to other girls because it meant he'd be gone for a while.

Powder was 11 and Ace was 14 of course they wouldn't find much in common or spent a lot of time together. 

"Woah, Powder" Vi said and softly chuckled at her sisters questions.

"From what he told me She's 13. Same age as Ekko. She's new to the lanes probably why he's being so friendly" Vi said.

Powder sighs "I guess so...Do you know when he's coming back home?" Powder asked
