Kids of Zaun // Male! Jinx x Reader Insert

Welcome to the Playground: The Other Side of the Bridge

THE GETAWAY
The kids were running on the streets of Piltover, trying to get away from the Enforcers that were chasing them. They tried to not look back, but the stress was getting to them. Mylo needed to hold (Y/N) hand tightly, making sure she could keep up with their pace.
All they could hear were the screams of the upsiders telling them to stop. A trap was thrown at Claggor, but it missed by a few inches. Powder looked at it with pure shock and stress.
„Faster!" Vi shouted, hoping it will do something. The five tried their best to not miss any step, running with all their will.
When they made it to the bridge, it slowly started to lift up. The kids just started to run even faster, hoping to make it on time. Thankfully, they did, unlike one of the enforcers.
„This way!" Vi yelled again, suddenly taking a sharp turn. Mylo, who was still holding (Y/N), didn't stop at the right time, making them both take a sharp stop that almost got them caught in a trap. To their luck, Mylo quickly recovered and got them back on the track.
All of them had to run into a wall that made them go into an alley. As the enforcers were slowly catching up to them, Vi decided to hit a a steam pipe, making the place foggy. They once again, took a turn into a different alley, a second before the upsiders could saw them.
„Go, go, go...!" Mylo whispered, while making (Y/N) go before him and pushing Claggor ahead. Not knowing where the kids went, the enforcers decided to split up.
As the five of them were sure that they lost them, Vi opened up a garbage pipe, making everyone around her gasp from disgust.
„Oh man, not again..." Mylo crouched down to it, looking at the dirty slide. „I just got this shirt-" Vi didn't give a shit about what he was about to say and just kicked him, making him slide forcibly.
The landfill wasn't the best place to land, especially to Mylo who got crushed by Claggor after his arrival. Then was Powder and (Y/N). Right after she landed, Powder moved up to her to make sure she's okay. The last one to arrive was Vi.
„Thought last time was the last time we were gonna do this..." Mylo complained, trying to clean himself.
„Well, this time's the last time." Vi assured, holding into the bag.
„Guys, what was that? What the hell happened back there?" Claggor asked, still not getting what could've caused that kind of explosion.
Everyone suddenly looked at Powder who was trying to do breathing exercises with (Y/N). When the only thing he could hear was his best friends speed up breathing and little wheezes, he turned around to the older kids with a confusion shown on his face.
„I don't know, I didn't do anything." Was all he said, as he looked back at (Y/N).
„You could fill a damn library with all the things you didn't do...!" Mylo snapped back.
„Guys... we just emptied a Piltover penthouse right under the enforcers' noses." Vi stood up, securing a bag on her shoulder.
„So, if you're done beating yourself up, let's get this home." She started walking away, making the others follow her. Powder took (Y/N)s hand and started walking with her, only to get her taken away from him by Mylo. He gave the younger boy a face of anger, while helping the girl get on Claggors back. Her wheezes were getting louder than before, worrying everyone around her. Powder only looked back at Mylo with the same expression, now walking next to Claggor.
As they were walking around the docks, the kids walked by other teenagers. Vi hugged the bag closer to her chest, trying to not catch to much attention. Sadly, it didn't work.
„Nice haul...?" A blonde guy asked, sitting on a wooden box. Everyone was silent, beside one boy that just couldn't hold back the urge to show off.
„You could say that." Mylo said, getting a slight push from Vi right after. More thugs came into their view, slowly cornering them. Claggor slowly put down (Y/N), making sure Powder was next to her.
„I heard there was some action across the river." The blue haired one said, making the five fugitives stop in their tracks.
„Someone, uh, someone really kicked the nest, huh?" The blond one asked again, getting up from his position.
„Is that so...?" She turned away from him, only to realize that the other guys she heard earlier were right behind them. The blonde one chuckled, noticing that they don't have a way out.
„But now you're, you're tracking this mess of yours through my streets."
„Your streets?! What makes you think-" Vi started screaming at him, only to be stopped by Claggor.
„Listen, we don't want any trouble, okay?" He said, trying to ease the atmosphere.
„Hear that, Deckard? They don't want any trouble..." Another one said to the blonde, finally letting the others know his name.
„You know, in my experience, trouble finds you. There's no reason this has to get ugly..." He said, playing with his victims.
„How about you share a little taste of your treasure there and we'll call it even?" He finally asked. Mylo was ready to fight at this point.
„No, no, no! We worked hard to-" It was Vi turn to cut off someone, making Mylo stop in the middle of his sentence.
Vi stood in front of Deckard now, holding their loot bag in one hand.
„Just a taste...?" She asked. The blonde only laughed at her.
„Just a-" before he could finish, he got smacked by the bag right into his face, falling down. While everyone was confused on what was about to happen, Vi quickly thrown the bag to Powder. After he got a grab on it, he made sure to step away from the fight with (Y/N), trying to hide her as much as possible, while he just crouched down. With wide eyes he watched everyone fight.
JUST A TASTE
Everything felt like it was in slow motion. Every hit was very clear to Powder, he couldn't take his eyes off of it.
One of the the guys got a hit that hard, that he felt down right next to Powder. Noticing that the boy was holding the bag with loot, he decided that it will be easier to just get him than fight with his friends. Getting what was happening, Powder took a chance and started running away, hoping that the thug won't notice (Y/N).
As one of Deckards man was knocked out for a minute, he started to listen what was happening around him. Hearing a wheeze close to him, he quietly started to walk closer to it. When he looked behind the boxes he saw a girl, still trying to hide away from him, while holding a little bow with her hand. She tried to put the arrow on the string, but failed due to her shaking hands. When Vi noticed this, she got a hold of wooden plank. Running right at the thug, she got him straight in the head, knocking him out fully. Seeing that she's safe now, (Y/N) got out of her hiding place, hugging Vi on her legs while crying hard. Her wheezes got louder and she was hyperventilating. Vi hugged her back by picking her up. After a few seconds, she gave the girl to Mylo, knowing that she was really close with him. She looked around, noticing that both Claggor and Mylo were pretty beat up. She probably was too, since she felt blood on her head and saw some of it on her hands.
„This day's turning out all right after all..." He said, trying to calm down the girl in his arms. They slowly turned around and started to leave.
When Deckard saw them leaving, he qucikly got up to his feet and took out his knife.
„Wait!" He yelled. Vi stopped at his voice, making Claggor and Mylo stop too. (Y/N) just hid more into Mylos shoulder, not wanting any kind of fight to happen again. Vi stood in front of the blonde once again, with a bored look on her face.
„Wanna see how that ends?" She asked, just like she wanted to encourage him. Deckard acted like he wanted to attack her, yet his eyes clearly told that he couldn't. Looking into her determinated eyes, he backed out. First he took a step back, but after that he took a chance to run.
Vi, relieved that the round two wasn't necessary, also took a step back, walking over to the boys. Then she remembered something. She started to look around, alarming others.
„Where's Powder?"

Powder was still running away from one of the Deckards thugs, tightly holding the bag in his hands. Trying to gain some time, he pushed down some wood on the boy, getting back to running right after.
„Oh, you little..."
Powder made it into the other side of the docks, still trying to loose the man behind. To his luck, the turn he took was a dead end, with not that much space for him to hide. Noticing that he doesn't have much time, he hid behind a wall, hoping it will be enough. The man wouldn't have saw him, if it wasn't for the plank Powder accidentally touched. The plank felt down with a loud noise, making Powders hiding place obvious. Seeing no other way out, he quickly took one of his gadgets out, trying to fill it with nails. When he was done, he started to prime the grenade with shaky hands.
„Come on, Mouser, I need you..." Powder said, right before throwing the bomb at the man.
The thug got scared from a second, getting ready for the impact. Powder looked at his creation with hope in his eyes, lightly biting down his lip. Sadly, the bomb didn't work as planned, exploding with glitter only. Noticing this, the thug only laughed, getting closer to the boy.
„No..." Powder couldn't believe it. Another one didn't work.
As the thug came closer to him, Powder started to breath faster, not knowing what to do. He was scared. So he did the only thing he thought that could help him. He quickly unpinned the bag from his shoulder and threw it into the water. Mans eyes widen at this, making him come closer into the edge of the dock trying to see if the bag will sink in fully. At that time Powder escaped, not looking behind him.

„You did WHAT?" Mylo asked, only getting angrier than he already was. He still tried to keep his posture though, since he was holding (Y/N) in his arms. Thankfully, the girl fell asleep, which meant that her breaths finally calmed down.
„I'm sorry... I tried to fight him off with Mouser, but... she didn't work..." Powder said, still being ashamed of everything that happened.
„Who saw that coming?" Mylo asked sarcastically. Claggor only looked at the ground with a tired look.
„We never should have gone over there." He said. Vi, having enough of this, decided to step in.
„Doesn't matter. The stuff's gone." She came over to Powder, putting her hands on his shoulder. „It's alright, Powder. At least... you're okay."
„Okay?! What about us?" Mylo still tried to show his point. At the same time, Vi opened up a door with lever, revealing an old elevator.
„I get my face bashed in and he just gets a pass?"
„Yup." Was all that Vi said.
As the elevator moved down, Mylo started the topic once again.
„(Y/N) is too sick to do this kind of things. She may be strong but her breathing sells her out. Almost like a Ghost y'know? You hear her but can't see her..." he started calmly.
„I agree with Mylo on this one." Claggor said.
„But...!" Mylo added „With Powder, it isn't about his condition! Every time. Every time he comes, something goes wrong." His face moved closer to Powders, making sure he hears his next words. „He JINXES every job."
„Just drop it, Mylo." Vi said, trying to keep calm. She didn't need to hear his complains after a day like this one.
