"We're almost there," Vi said as she looked down, tightly gripping onto a rusty pipe for support.

"Aw man," Milo complained, his muscles straining as he climbed up the rickety ladder.

They continued their ascent, the cityscape stretching out below them like a sprawling tapestry of lights and shadows.

"Do you need any help?" I extended my hand towards Vi, who looked at me with a mix of surprise and gratitude before accepting my assistance to pull herself up.

"How did you... never mind," she breathed out heavily, trying to catch her breath as she stood beside me.

"Hey," I called out to Powder, who looked up with a startled expression. I offered my hand to her, and with a grateful smile, she took it and allowed me to help her up onto the platform.

"You really are faster than any of us," she remarked, a hint of admiration in her voice.

"Hey, Powder," Vi called out to her, and I waited patiently for the two of them to catch up.

"Hurry up, Milo. Even Claggor is faster than you," I teased, a playful smirk on my face.

"Shut up," he grumbled good-naturedly, and I chuckled as I lent a helping hand to both him and Powder to aid them in their ascent.

"It's nice to be above it all, huh?" Vi's voice drifted over to me as I turned around to see them gazing out at the rooftops, the golden-hued houses of Piltover shimmering in the moonlight.

We all stood in awe of the breathtaking view, a sense of camaraderie and adventure filling the air as a Blimp soared past the rooftop we were perched on.

"Whoa," Powder exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder at the sight.

"One day, I'm gonna ride in one of those things," she declared with a dreamy smile.

"And one day, I'm gonna shoot one of them down," Milo joked, pretending to aim a finger gun at the passing Blimp.

"Keep dreaming. Even Powder is a better aim than you," I teased, a light chuckle escaping my lips.

"Shut up. If I had a gun, I could show you," Milo retorted, a playful glint in his eyes as he bantered with me.

"Let's go," Vi took the lead, leaping gracefully onto another nearby roof with practiced ease.

"Vi, are you sure about this?" Claggor's voice carried a note of uncertainty as he hesitated at the edge of the rooftop. "Look, if we get caught, we're--"

"We're not gonna get caught. We'll be in and out before anyone even notices," Vi reassured him, her tone confident and resolute.

I glanced down at the bustling street below, spotting the occasional patrol of enforcers and pedestrians going about their nighttime activities.

"That's a huge jump. We'd be goners if we fell," I voiced my concerns, earning a sharp look of annoyance from Vi.

"What? Just stating the facts," I shrugged, trying to lighten the mood with a hint of humor.
