it had taken some time , but the two had escaped to the bowels of the undercity . for once , their uniforms wouldn't mean an attack from the zaunites . instead , they were unified in war && survival with little words to say for what other problems there were . ( she expected zaun to be in better hands , anyways , especially with ekko at the helm . )
caitlyn panted , lungs burning with effort especially with the tainted air of the undercity . her mask was destroyed in the first wave && she could only hope that up there the rest of piltover was faring well in this time without her . once she'd stopped , looking to maddie , there was a wave of anger rising within her .
caitlyn's anger was hot , all consuming in its flame . it made her irrational , difficult to console or to work with due to her inherent stubborn nature besides the emotion . maddie's antics got some of her crew killed in the precious moments after the jammed mechanism . caitlyn's dexterous hands gripped maddie by the collar , shoving the shorter woman into the nearest wall forcefilly before pulling away . caitlyn would have to calm down , finger itching to pull on a trigger that just wasn't there .
the enforcer had turned her back to the traitor , brows pressed together as she tried to make sense of it all . this time , she couldn't keep her emotions in a box && couldn't find a body to keep her stable . maddie had managed to ruin both in one fell swoop .
❝ / WHY / ? WHY WOULD YOU DO IT ? ❞ caitlyn began , voice hardening as her posture straightened . she resisted the urge to wail , thinking of all the good lives lost && how many more could've been prevented should the plan had worked . she knew there really wasn't any sense in the question && turned to face maddie . ❝ MADELYN NOLAN , IF THAT IS EVEN YOUR NAME , YOU WILL ROT IN THE DARKEST CELLS OF STILLWATER . ONCE WE GET BACK TO PILTOVER , I SWEAR IT . ❞
