Y/n was currently seated at his table and wrote in his notebook, currently thinking long and hard about what he should write next. "Hmm.....what rhymes with orange?" Y/n mutters.

"Doorhinge!" Powder yelled appearing at his side with a smile.

Y/n chuckled. " that could work" he said writing it down.

Suddenly the journal was snatched. " what is all this?" Vi asked looking into the notebook.

Y/n immediately jumped and reached for his book which vi kept away. " vi cmon give it back!" He yelled in embarrassment.

"Huh?" Vi skimmed through the material. " didn't know you were into poetry, you trying to impress somebody?" Vi smirked handing the book back.

Y/n quickly took the book back embarrassed. " No!  Just ..practicing  I want to talk about the things going on in zaun one day, In an interesting way."

"Interesting way?" Powder said tinkering with one of her odd gadgets.

Y/n nods. " people in zaun seem put off by the idea of reading history books whether it be because it's boring or they don't want to act like the people topside,  I think maybe if do poetry it can reach people's ears better."

Vi frowned. " I wouldn't hold my breath."

"Vi.." powder sounded sadly, she liked the idea .

"What do you mean?" Y/n asked, he thought she would be more encouraging.

"Look I'm just staying, we're in zaun, nobody cares about zaun scoff..zaun doesn't care about zaun."  Vi says with distaste. " I just think you deserve better than this place, ."  Vi said sadly.

Powder held her gadget close to her chest like one would a plushie, and y/n inwardly winced,  the enforces had killed his friends parents, left his mother with a bad leg, he could see what she was saying.

"But hey me and powder have to handle a heist topside, we'll get you a souvenir okay." Vi said hugging y/n which he returned, powder gave him one to as vi walked out.

Powder then gave him one of her gadgets, it looked like a weird piranha. " I think you can do it." Powder said shyly.

Y/n chuckled and pet her head, powder deserved better than zaun that's for sure. " thanks pow, do your best okay?"

Powder nodded and quickly jogged to catch up with vi.

Y/n then sat in in his seat thinking about what vi said,  was he really wasting his time?  But if he didn't do something who would? Vander handled things fine but the Cold War between piltover and zaun wasn't  ending anytime soon from what he could see. Y/n sighed thinking about it all, he then looked over to two items on tucked away in his back pack, he got up and took them out, headphones and a portable cassette player, with a singular cassette tape his mother had found.

He wasn't sure what was on it  it just had a simple name.

MF DOOM

he put it in and put the headphones on and soon and song played.

Y/n eyes widened as his brain absorbed the words,  this wasn't just poetry,  the man speaking was working together words he didn't think possible! And to put such a unique melody behind it.  Y/n looked to his note book, and went to a new page, this, this is how he reaches the people, but he knew he needed to keep writing, and find more tapes.

4 Years Later. Y/n 17

Y/n stared at his note book,   The third one he had filled with songs and notes,  the only issue was he hadn't released any of it to the public,  he had the tools he needed, and old laptop, a slam keyboard for beats and a mic,it just felt...pointless.

"Y/n sweetie? Can you come here please?" Y/Ns mother Maria had called out.

Y/n walked over to his mother's bedroom and the sight made his heart hurt, exposure to shimmer in the air had made her ill, and she got weaker by the day.

"What's wrong mom?" Y/n asked leaning against the doorframe.

Maria smiled and pat the bed motioning for him to sit. " I'm the wrong that needs to ask you that." She spoke softly

Y/n frowned and sat the bed side. " nothings wrong mom..just the same old stuff." He said shrugging.

Maria frowned holding her son's hand. "I see your head tucked in your notebooks...why haven't showed your music?"

Y/n shook his head. " what good is music here mom? Zauns a hell hole, always will be." Y/n said weakly.

"....it wasn't your fault y/n." Maria spoke softly.

Y/n held her hand tighter as tears threatened to spill from his eyes. " I wasn't there to help mom.....vanders dead and I haven't seen vi and powder...." Y/n said, his voice cracking as as he roughly wiped tears that began to spill.

"Something's are out of our control my son, you know that."Maria said sitting up weakly and gently making him face her. " our little family is gone, I don't know how much time I have left, and you're still here.." Maria's said as firmly as she could holding his shoulders with as much strength as she could. " and you have a gift, I've heard you speak, you can bring hope without having to fight."

Y/n stared at his mother, even now she's was showing how strong she was. " ...am I ready?"

Maria smiled and hugged him. " you have been for a while..you just need do it."

His mother had soon fell asleep, y/n walked back to his studio/bedroom, he began setting his laptop and connected the mic, he put his head phones on, and looked at the lyrics on his notebook, he decided to speak on the reality of the war and his place in it, this would be his debut song.

M.A.A.D City

Y/n then tapped a button to start and began to spit. " if enforcers and gangs all got along, they'd probably gun me down by the end of the song, seem like the whole state go against me, everytime I'm in the street I hear-
