Arcane: World Two - AU (Non-binary reader)

You feel the snow under your stomach as you lie face down in the snow. Batsor, the orange-cloth's main hideout, is in sight. Over the last few weeks, you've been tracking these people, their schedules, routes and the members themselves. Last night, you set out with a goal to kill Carthon, their leader. After tonight, they will pose no threat to your family, Kara will be avenged.

You use the veil of snow to sneak into the town, they're expecting you and therefore expecting you to use the front door and announce yourself with honour but honour died on the train. You crawl under the floorboards until you're beneath Carthon's seat. You place the bomb and arm it to connect to your detonator.

You begin to crawl away, to enter through the main door and tell them about the bombs. The opening is in sight when a large hand slams through the floorboard and pins you down: "Get the fuck off me!" you yell. Some of the other members run over and carry you out in front of Carthon.

He is a large, burly man with a scar across his eyes: "Pity, y/n, I thought you were someone who fights with honour"

Vi's eyes flutter open, she sees Caitlyn sitting on the balcony from through the glass door. She slowly gets out of bed and walks behind her, she rests her arms over her shoulders: "Morning, Cupcake"

Caitlyn was reading a book when Vi snuck up on her: "It's mid-day"

Vi sits beside her: "Must've slept well. I should get back home, and make sure the bar didn't crumble while I was gone"

Caitlyn kisses her neck: "Okay baby, be safe"

Vi gets ready to leap from the balcony: "I will be" She jumps between rooftops for miles until she gets to the Last Drop. 

She steps through the door, her head held high. She looks at the somber atmosphere and can instantly tell something is wrong: "What's with long faces?"

Vander stays quiet for a moment before speaking up: "y/n left in the night to find Carthon" He lifts an envelope with the name "Vi" on the back. "They wrote us all letters, like fucking suicide notes"

Vi's head starts spinning, you had just left with no more than notes to say goodbye. She tries to hate you but physically can't. She takes the letter addressed to her, takes a seat and begins reading it:
"Vi, I'm sorry I couldn't bring you. But this vicious cycle of violence had to end when they grabbed Powder. You should assume I'm dead and begin the mourning process or try to forget. I see what you and Caitlyn have and my final wish is for you not to turn away from her just because she's from top-side, you have an opportunity to liberate Zaun so I beg you not to waste it. You're a fighter but the love you radiate is contagious, I wouldn't be half the person I am now if you hadn't shown me how to survive. You used to beat me up until it forced me to get stronger, I've still got a small mark on my right ankle from a particularly hard leg sweep. I leave to you my jacket, it was from Silco when he found out I wanted to be a revolutionary. It's yours now, put some patches on it if that helps. Goodbye, sis.

Always with you
-y/n"

She crumbles to her seat, unable to think straight. "They're gone" She feels Powder hug her side, Vi gently rubs her head. "What did they leave to you, Pow-Pow?" She's trying not to break into tears.

Powder doesn't look up at her but responds: "His mother's dagger. And an apology for taking my gunpowder" She laughs as she says the second sentence.

Silco and Sevika search your room frantically, looking for any hope you may return. Silco hasn't had to live with you being away before so a loss of this proportion is new to him. He looks at the map in awe: "y/n was tracking them, for weeks. We had weeks to stop them"
