Caitlyn was trying to break out of her binds.

Caitlyn: I knew it was a mistake trusting Vi, but you Pax? Why have you been lying to me? Did you know this whole time?

Pax: No, I didn't know a thing about them working for Slico.

Caitlyn: And you both walked us into not one but two of Slico's traps.

Vi: This isn't Slico it's someone else.

Caitlyn: How do you know?

Pax: We be deader than the fish Jerico uses. Also, why in the fuck does Powder call herself Jinx, VI? What the hell happened and why aren't telling me?

Vi: I'll tell you when you tell me what that glowing stone was?

Pax: I- What?

A light shined hearing a noise something grabbed him and Vi.

Caitlyn: What's going on.

Vi: Hey, stop! Get your hands off of me!

Pax: Hey, come on! Let go of me, you assholes!

Caitlyn: Leave them alone!

Vi: Let me go!

Caitlyn: Vi? Pax?

It was slient and the door closes.

Caitlyn: Guys!

It cuts to Vi and Pax's bag being taken off. Looking up they saw a bat-human or something....it walks away. Pax looked around for a bit until his eyes landed on the Firelight leader.

Vi: You shy? Or just ugly?

The leader stood up and walked over to them. Then slowly took their mask off then their hood. Revealing....

Pax: Ekko?

Ekko: You look good for a dead girl. And an Enforcer.

Vi: Ekko?

Ekko: What do you know about this?

He shows the stone.

Vi: Nothing. Ask Pax?

Pax:......It an experiment my guardian worked on when I was Topside. That all I know.

Ekko:....What were you two doing with Jinx and (Y/N)?

Vi: Her name is Powder. And I just found her when you and your goons showed up. It's me. Vi. And that's Pax. The same people who used to take you down to the junk heap and hose you down when you got covered in grease.

Ekko:....That was a long time ago. People change.

Vi: Yeah(Looks at Pax) I'm getting that.

Pax: We aren't working for Silco.

Ekko: I-I thought you both were dead! Now you both show up with a Piltie, Pax became a Piltie himself! And your giving tours of the lane!

Vi: Why did you follow us? You could have said something.

Ekko: I didn't know if I could trust you! Or Pax!

Vi: So...So you just come out swinging?

Ekko: Gee, I wonder who I learned that from?

Vi: Ah, well you shoulda learned more. You still punch like a little boy.

Ekko: And you still block with your face!
