Sevika had now entered the chaotic scene of ours. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be grateful for her presence. But here we were.
Jinx, blessing us with her gracefulness, slid across the ground, tossing the now-unwrapped mechanical arm toward Sevika. She snatched it effortlessly with one hand—because, of course, she did—and began attaching it with a practiced ease.
As the arm clicked into place, Sevika shot a smirk at the men before her, flexing her fingers as the mechanisms came to life.
"Ready for round two?" she growled.
Jinx didn't waste a second. She reached into her pocket and tossed me one of her infamous explosives—a small, round device that was colorful and with potential. I caught it and, without hesitation, lobbed it at one of the men. He caught it mid-air, sneering in arrogance...until realization hit him. His face paled as the device began to vibrate in his hands.
I folded my arms, smirking. "You might want to let that go."
Too late. The device exploded, releasing a vibrant cloud of pink and blue powder that filled the room, the thick smoke twirling like colorful ribbons in the air. I turned to see Sevika locked in combat with the rat-like leader, exchanging brutal blows. Meanwhile, the kid stood in awe, her eyes wide as she admired the mesmerizing smoke.
Jinx finished off another thug with a swift motion and turned to the kid, mimicking a gun with her fingers. "Poof," she whispered, pretending to shoot. The kid, unsure at first, muttered a soft "Hmm?" before breaking into a timid smile.
The little one ran to my side, clinging to me as she peeked out from behind my legs. Together, we watched as Sevika tried to dispatch the last one. She caught Jinx's eye, and with a subtle nod, Jinx gestured for her to turn the knob on her mechanical arm.
Sevika sighed but complied. The dials on the arm spun like a slot machine, each symbol clicking into place. When the final image aligned, a triumphant sound started to play, the sound of a jackpot ringing through the alleyway. Sevika exhaled, exasperated, while Jinx placed her hands on her hips, swaying to the playful tune. Her energy was infectious as always.
"Learn how to have a little fun," Jinx teased, grinning wide.
With a final, devastating punch, Sevika sent the rat-like man sprawling to the floor. He groaned, raising a trembling hand in surrender. "Wait—wait!" he stammered, voice cracking. "There's a deal to be struck here!"
Sevika loomed over him, expression cold and unforgiving. "You forget, smeech. You already made your last offer."
Each punch that followed was merciless. Sevika's strikes landed with precision, and she barely seemed to feel the few weak hits he managed to land in return. Her strength was unyielding, her dominance absolute.
That was Sevika.
As the rat-man sputtered, she sneered. "Tell me, who's the funny-looking rat now?"
Sevika grabbed the knob on her arm and twisted it again, unleashing the final combo. The slot machine spun once more, but this time it landed on a Full House. Each one of us winced in unison, and even Jinx muttered, "Oof."
