An older women stood in front of the small child. Her face held a frantic look to it, her red tail swishing manically as she glanced down the alleyway and back to her child.
She held the girls face in between her hands, tucking a strain of her h/c hair behind her ear.
"Okay darling" she started, another glance down the alley. "This is where we'll have to depart."
The 12 year old tilted her head slightly. "But why mama? Why are you leaving me?" Her voice held a hint of distraught.
The women took a shaky breath, bending to her knees to stare face to face with her child. "I'm sorry my sweets, but you wouldn't understand. Me and your dad have some stuff to take care of, so we can take better care of you."
Tears filled the mothers e/c eyes, she gave Y/n a kiss on the forehead. Pulling out a tiny throwing knife from her pocket and placing it in Y/n's small hands.
"We'll come back for you, promise. okay?"
"Okay"

Y/n and Powder laid in the bed, Y/n held her, arms wrapped around the girl as her tail curled around them protectively. Y/n carefully stroked the back of Powders head, which rested buried against the others chest in comfort as Powder hugged the stuffed rabbit.
Y/n looked over the bluenettes head to see what Claggor and Mylo were doing looking at the small pile of weapons in front of them.
"Well, if the enforcers hit tonight, we'll be ready.." Mylo was confident in their stuff which consisted of a bat, a glass bottle, Vanders gauntlets, a few of Y/n's throwing knifes, and a smoker. "I think."
"Dibs on the bat" Claggor claimed
"No, no, no, no. I found it."
"But I called it."
"But I found it"
"Respect the dibs"
"Actually," Y/n spoke from her position, "I found it, Mylo stole it"
Mylo ignored her statement with a wave and continued to bicker with Claggor. Y/n huffed at the two, looking back at the girl pressed against her. She pulled her head back slightly making Powder look into her e/c eyes.
Y/n tugged a strain of her blue hair behind her ear, smiling softly at her, "She'll be fine. She always is." She reassured her
The sound of the door slamming open made the four look towards it. Vi ran down the stairs stopping in front of Claggor and Mylo.
Powder scrambled out of Y/n's embrace almost making the girl fall, and ran towards Vi into a hug.
"Oh, you're back" she said relieved. VI's breath was shaky, Y/n could tell from where she sat on the bed something wasn't right.
Being reminded of why she actually ran back Vi reached for Vanders gauntlets. Being stopped by Mylo's grasp.
"Hey. Those are Vander's. Slow down. What's going on?"
"Benzo's dead" Vi broke the news
"Dead?" Y/n whispered in disbelief standing up and off to the side. Vi looked as if she would snap at any moment.
"They took Vander"
"Who took Vander?" Mylo asked
"I don't know. But I need to help him"
"We're going with you" everyone gave a small nod of agreement
"Whatever killed Benzo... was like nothing I've ever seen" Vi's voice shook with fear as she clenched her fist. A sob breaking through, "it tore him apart"
Claggor placed his arm around Vi's shoulders, Mylo coming to comfort her as well, "You're not doing this alone, Vi"
"He's our father too" Powder hurried to where Y/n stood, the two quickly throwing items into a box, bombs and knifes. "Do we know where they took him?"
"Ekko followed them," Vi packed her own bag, putting in Vander's gauntlets "the old cannery next to the docks he said..." Vi slung her bag over her shoulder, stopping to see the two youngest standing there with a bag in their hands ready to go
Vi sighed, "I need you two to sit this one out"
"What?" The two looked at each other as Vi stood in front of them
"You're not coming" she clarified
"We're not afraid"
"It's took dangerous" Vi tried to reason
"But families stick together" Powder desperately said, "you said it yourself"
"I know what I said"
"I want to fight! We can help!"
"You're not ready!" Vi snapped. Powder stopped, Y/n starred at Vi. "You guys are all I have left. I can't lose you, either of you." Vi placed a hand on both their cheeks
She pulled out a smoker and handed it to Powder, "Here, if they come for you, take this and run. Where ever you are, light it up, and I'll find you. I promise"
They took a moment, Vi pressed her forehead against theirs in a comforting embrace. "Take care of each other" Y/n numbly nodded as the two just stood and watched Vi shut the door behind her.
Deadly silence sat for moments feeling like forever until Y/n slowly sunk to her knees, sitting on the floor in defeat, a blank look over her face.
She didn't know what to do until Powders own sobs reached her ears. Tears casscated from her e/c eyes as she began to cry out as well. Powders crying always seemed to make Y/n cry as well.
Anger bubbled inside her chest, pulling her knees to her chest, her arms wrapped around the back of her neck as she pulled her hair slightly. They were never ready. Never doing enoug. She was never enough
Y/n's head shot up at Powders shriek, her tears falling faster as Powder threw the box to the ground busting it open. Falling to the ground in turn.
The items sprawled across the floor, the shimmering blue crystals rolled till they gently tapped Y/n's foot crackling and shaking slightly.
Powder sorrowfully looked up to the crystals then to Y/n, her eyes widened rubbing away the tears. "I can help them" she muttered
Y/n watched Powded stand and began picking up the crystals, "I know how we can help!" She shouted excitingly
Y/n furrowed her brows a bit, but followed Powders lead as the blue haired girl grabbed the box and Y/n's hand leading them to the old cannery.
The two stared up at the tall building through the tunnel, taking deep breaths before rushing to the side and beginning to climb up the wooden boards.
Peaking through some cracks in the wood they could catch a glimpse of Vi and some large man standing off on a platform. Y/n's breath hitched and they scurried up the boards again
The rotting board underneath Powders foot broke, making Y/n instinctively reach for the girl and with a grunt halling her up onto a small stone platform.
Looking through the small window they could watch as Vi fought against the whole group of adults. Vi had knocked down almost every one when Y/n's eyes widened in fear as a large grayish monster with glowing purple vines stumbled to the bridge
Vi smacked her gauntlets together, jumping onto the railing and running towards him. Ready to swing down a hit when she was caught by the throat
"Vi!" They shouted in fear. The monster threw Vi down as she bounced across the bridge. Gasping Powder pulled the box in front of them opening it up.
She pulled out the toy monkey and opened its head. Y/n pulled out two of the crystals and placed them into the open hatch
Tying on a third crystal around its neck hanging where the now nail covered cymbals would hit it. She placed its head back on. There was a loud bang from the monster, Powder starred down the monkey. "You have to work. For me. Okay?" It only chittered in response
She winded it up and placed it inside. The cymbals crashed slightly as the monkey began walking causing sparks to fizz off the crystal. They ducked together behind the wall for protection covering their ears, waiting.
And when nothing happened they looked towards each other confused glimpsing inside to see the monkey hit the crystal once more causing the whole place to explode in blue light. The force pushing them off the ledge
Blue clouds formed above, they were stunning. As they fell the two looked to each other, smiling at the thought of what they managed to accomplish. Electricity sizzled around, Y/n reached out for Powders hand, pulling her into her arms as the roughly landed.
"Ow.." Y/n mumbled glancing down to where Powder was on top of her. "Hey there" she smirked towards the girl. Flushed, Powder quickly got off, pulling the feline up as well.
"It worked" she smiled, choosing to ignore how red Y/n had made her face. Grabbing onto the stuffed rabbit she ran to find Vi with Y/n in tow. They rounded the corner to the other side "Vi, it worked" she cheerfully yelled to the pinkette
"Did you see us?" Y/n added running up behind "The monkey bomb finally worked!"
They're expression fell when they saw Vi's "you did this?" Eyes widened when they noticed Vanders lifeless body behind Vi. The buildings flames raging on in the background "Why? Why did you do this?"
Their Eyes watered. Powder sniffled, "I.. I didn't. We were saving you." She looked to the floor avoiding Vi's glare, seeing Claggors bloodied googles instead. She sobbed
"We only wanted to help" Y/n cried "We only want to help" Y/n frantically looked at their surroundings, settling in the damage they truly had done
"I told you to stay away"
"Please. Please. Please--"
"I told you to stay away!" Vi screamed slapping Y/n across the face, the girl fell to the ground
"No. Why did you leave me?!" Powder shouted. Vi lunged forward grabbing Powders face
"Because you're a jinx. Do you hear me? Mylo was right. You're both screw ups?" Y/n scrambled up to them clawing at VI's arm to let Powder go, only for Vi to roughly shove her away
"No. No. No. No. Violet, please." Powders nose began to bleed with the pressure as her cries continued. Vi let go, her hand shook. "Violet please!"
Vi ignored them in favor of walking away. The rain began to heavily pour as Powder pleaded for her sister to return. Laying her head against the floor
Y/n could only shut down, curling up as she whimpered, "No. Not again, please. Not again. Don't leave me! Please Violet!"
'They always leave'
'She can never do anything right'
'She fucked up, now everyone's dead'
"Please.. no.."
But Vi was long out of sight once Silco stood above the two shaking girls.
He kneeled in front of them, "Hello, little girls" Powder stopped to look up at him, "where's your sister?" Powder only released one last sob before she lunged at him throwing him off balanced as she hung onto his torso.
"She left us." Powder stated bitterly. Y/n glimpsed at the two, her chin quivered as she crawled over to them seeking comfort from someone, anyone, she curled up to Silco's side, hiding her face against his chest. "She's not my sister anymore"
Silco paused, slowly wrapping his arms around the girls, pulling them into a soft hug, "it's okay." He whispered with understanding and empathy "We'll show them."
"We will show them all."
