Within the Undercity, Viktor sneaks around while looking over his shoulder. Eventually he walks down the stairs of a very narrow hallway covered in cracked stone all around him. Once he gets to the end of the hall, he's met with a steel door.
After letting out a few coughs, Viktor knocks on the steel door. After waiting a few seconds for an answer, he's spoken to by a familiar voice. "Who's there?" The voice on the other side of the door says in a raspy tone.
"It's Viktor.." Viktor says calmly, before looking over his shoulder once more. Slowly, the door begins to open. Revealing a fairly skinny man with a huge scar on the left side of his face.
Behind the steel door is a lab, with a bunch of chemicals. "Come in." Singe invites, before turning around, and attending to the chemicals.
After Viktor walks in, Singe turns around and looks at Viktor. The room they're in is pretty dark and the only light comes from the pink and green chemicals in tubes. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" Singe asks before turning back around and continuing what he was doing.
Viktor slowly walks up to Singe, glancing at all that he was doing at the desk in front of him. "I need your help..." Viktor responds while looking at Singe.
Singe then turns around and faces Viktor completely. "Interesting.."
"I'm sick..I've tried everything that I know to cure it but it all lead to nothing...you're the only person that I know that could help." Viktor explains while Singe just stands their, emotionless.
Viktor walks over to his table and grabbed a tube of shimmer. "Despite nature building such intolerance to change, we are fortunate enough to have the power of changing our nature." Singe says before waking up to Viktor with a tube of shimmer.
"This is shimmer?" Viktor questions as his eyes glowed purple from the reflection of the bottle
"A variant, yes..however I must warn you, if you take this path there is no going back.." Singe says seriously while staring at Viktor. "People who are willing to sacrifice everything for progression, and people who are willing to sacrifice so little..it's a reason why me and Heimerdinger parted ways..what will you choose?" Singe questions Viktor while Viktor stares at the bottle of shimmer.
Viktor slowly held out his weak hand and grabbed onto the bottle. "Thank you.." Viktor responds. Afterwards, Singe flushes some shimmer down into a toilet.
Viktor stares at Singe with confused and worried eyes as a result. "Wouldn't that pollute the water?" Viktor asks.
"I'm conducting an experiment. The end of those pipes only lead to a small pond where no one ever is. In the pond are fish. I'm curious to see how the fish react to such change in environment." Singe Explains. After the explanation, the two part ways with one another. Viktor continues staring at the bottle with a not so innocent smile.
Marcus and the other enforcers roam around a very crowded area within the Undercity. While looking around in distress and frustration, it becomes obvious that they've lost Silver and the others. "God damn it. Okay, we need to split up. We'll cover more ground that way. Benji, go back to Topside and inform the council that Caitlyn is safe." Marcus orders. The other enforcers reply with a "yes sir" before doing as they were instructed.
Meanwhile, Silver and the others remain inside of a alleway while no longer running and breathing heavy. "I told you not to shoot back." Caitlyn says to Silver while still out of breath.
Silver then takes the mask off, and looks at Caitlyn. The moment he took the mask off, Vi begins to smile at him, and so does Lucy with a relieved one. "I wasn't trying to hit them. I just wanted to scare them. Make them back off a bit-" After Silvers response, he's immediately interrupted by a warm embrace from Vi.
Once Silver feels Vis embrace, a smile begins to appear over his face. Caitlyn watches with a bit of happiness, and so does Lucy. "I missed you." Vi says sincerely, as Silver and Lucys eyes meet. The two gently smile at eachother as well.
"Follow me." Silver says to the group, and quickly after, they're following Silver through the Undercity, while being as aware of their surroundings as possible.
"Where are we going?" Caitlyn asks. "You'll see." Silver responds, before looking towards Lucy. "No one knows you took Caitlyn." Silver informs.
Lucy looks ahead at Silver with curiosity. "How do you know that?" Lucy questions.
"I was with the enforcers as a spy kind of. I overheard Marcus and Silco talking with eachother. Turns out Jinx stole something called a hextech gemstone." Once Silver confesses, all of the others feel a sudden amount of shock.
"Marcus was with Silco? No way." Caitlyn says in disbelief while looking over towards Silver.
"It's true." Silver mentions, making Caitlyn extremely confused.
"Silco.." Vi says with anger in her voice, as she reminisces on what's happened in the past regarding Silco. "Silco did it all. He killed Vander, and now he's fucking with Powders head." Vi says in an angered tone. Suddenly, both Lucy and Silvers eyes widen from such a claim.
"So you were right?" Silver asks while looking at Lucy, thinking about the time she mentioned that she thought Silco killed Vander.
Caitlyn watches the others in confusion, as she doesn't understand all that's happened. "Who are these people? Jinx? Powder?" Caitlyn asks while looking at Silver, Lucy, and Vi.
After Caitlyns question, the group immediately goes silent. Vi glances at Caitlyn for a split second with a frowning face, before looking straight ahead. "Powder and Jinx are the same person. Jinx is just-" Vi pauses, while reflecting on the way she treated Powder before she was imprisoned. The hurtful words she said to Powder, and the way she hit her with a furious slap in the face.
While the others watch Vi with faces of worry, Vi begins to shake the thoughts away. "Jinx isn't who she is. Silco turned her into that. I'm positive of that."
"She's responsible for the deaths of many enforcers.." Caitlyn acknowledges, and it becomes clear that Vi doesn't quite know how to respond to that.
After Vis words, Silver begins to think again on his interaction with Jinx inside of his home. Because of his thoughts, the group stops running. They look towards Silver with confusion and concern. "You're wrong." Silver responds back to Vi while looking at her, before crawling on top of a dumpster, and climbing on top of a building.
Vi watches Silver with confusion, though Lucy immediately understands what he means. The three of them proceed to follow after Silver, as they climb to the top of a building. "What do you mean I'm wrong?" Vi asks Silver.
Silver looks towards Vi. An expression of guilt begins to plaster across his face as they all make it to the top of the building. High enough to see all of the Undercity. "I think Lucy was right when she said that Silco messed her up. I saw that very clearly yesterday." Silver admits to the rest of the group, while they wait for him to explain.
"Yesterday when I was coming home, I found Jinx there. She had a recording from the conversation me and Lucy had. I was telling Lucy how I think Jinx is a danger, and how she should leave Jinx, just like I did four years ago. She even accused me of taking Lucy away, which I still don't understand." As Silver explains, the cool breeze begins to blow through all of their clothes, and a few birds pass by them. Lucy frowns slightly from the last words that Silver says. Caitlyn listens with intense focus, and Vi also does with denial.
"She quickly got aggressive. Yelling at me about why I left. After that she pulled out a gun and we struggled for it. But I managed to get away from her. I mean, that's when I knew for sure that Powder is gone. It's only Jinx now. What we knew about her needs to be burned and forgotten. If you ask me, Powder died the day of that explosion." Silver explains. The more he talked, the more uneasy Vi grew.
"That's not true." Vi suddenly approaches Silver closely while Silver finds it hard to even keep eye contact with Vi. "Maybe Powders lost her way, but you wouldn't just leave her. You'd never do that. Tell me." Vi tells Silver with a shaky and emotional tone. Silver stands still without looking at Vi. But the moment he does, he confirms with her that it's true with the look he gives her.
"Why?" Vi asks Silver with a face of disbelief and concern. The moment Vi asks that question, Silver envisions Jinx questioning him about it the day that she was in his home.
"Give me a second." Silver says to the others in a monotone, before walking to the edge of the building, and slowly climbing down to the bottom. While he does, the others look at him with worried faces. With Caitlyn looking more towards Vi with worry.
After Silver reaches the bottom, he leans his hand against the wall of the building, and begins taking deep breaths. He begins to realize that trying to burn the memories of the past isn't working as he thought it would.
After taking a moment, he decides to climb back to the top with the others. Unfortunately for him, a bag is immediately covered over his head. All he sees is darkness, before he's knocked unconscious.
