Do you remember what Singed did to Jinx

You know

the scene

How far do you think either Jinx or Ekko or both would go to save their lil girl.

Do you think they would be smart.

Or do you think think much like Silco, desperation to save what’s most precious to them would override their judgement, their common sense

After all, as Silco once said, is there anything more as undoing as a daughter

The entire shimmer scene but it’s with Isha and not one but two paranoid parents forced to watch because in this singed is not trusted worth a damn even worse then the show and Jinx and Ekko refused to be put to sleep at the risk of something happening. Jinx holds him at gunpoint the entire time. Ekko is barely able to keep from pulling the trigger several times as he works on Isha, makes her scream.

A few times, he almost lets her pull the trigger.

Ya know what makes it even worse

The fact that, singed always seems to be right about things Even in the show he never lies, he’s always honest, he really has no reason to lie. But in this case Jinx and Ekko can’t tell if he’s lying or not

He says things like it may not work or there’s a chance she might not make it through, but Ekko and Jinx can’t tell if he’s trying to throw them off or if he’s serious because they don’t trust him

The barrel subtly twitches more and more the longer bluenette holds it against him. Yet it's not exhaustion of holding it. Her elbow doesn't buckle from it's hooked position, her shoulders remain steady. A practiced hand holds the piece.

Nay, the gun shakes because the woman is being unraveled more and more by his off-handed remarks, his stretching of the truth. Ekko tries to get him to focus, to shut up. Yet Reveck sees also the growing temptation in the man's eye as well. One that matches the woman's earlier fire of wanting to shut him up permentantly.

Maybe he likes it Maybe despite what he tells himself, Reveck does have a god-complex After all it feels nice almost

A weak man, an ordinary man, and he has two of the most notorious people known in the zone bent on his whim solely because they’re not so much different than him deep down.

He has no reason to lie. Lying gets no where Isha is young. Young bounce back surprisingly. But isha is also one foot in the grave and one on the floor missing the wet floor sign

He’s not lying when he says she might not make it but whether or not they believe him is another thing

Maybe he does have all this. Maybe he is truthful, maybe he's stretching it in a way for some neferious purpose. Maybe he simply wants them to suffer, wants to enjoy the power he holds over the zone's notorious duo over what he could potentially do unto their little one.

But he also could be curious, could note oddities in this young child, this potential… speciman in how her body reacts to the chemical, to the mutation.

A weak man, an ordinary man he might be. Maybe one with a more sadistic side than he couldve potentially imagined, maybe even with that God-complex. But he was also a dangerously curious man, an inhumanely explorer in sciencentic fields. And Isha could potentially be a fascinating and remarkable subject to explore, it would be a shame to simply allow her to leave.

After all? "The mutation must survive."

But what if it doesn’t survive Or at least doesn’t look like it does at first.

The fear the terror, even in agony Isha still looks towards her parents Wonders why they haven’t moved why they haven’t stopped this

oh god make it STOP

But she can’t speak She never could

Jinx is reminded of when they stitched her up before hand. Before they made it back to the compound. She remembers Isha's agony. Remembers how gut-wrenching it was to watch her face scrunch up…her teeth grit to the point of chipping… vocalizing only in low hushes or mute whimpers and cries because she cant talk.

But this is different. This is worse This is terrible

The entire time looks no different then when singed does it to Jinx in the show

The coughing the choking the agony.

Her tears her blood,

the bile she pukes out

all a sickly purplish hue

And sometime in the middle of it all however, perhaps Jinx wasn’t thinking. Perhaps maybe she was. Perhaps maybe it as a long buried instinct that she noted even Ekko was fighting against.

The need to be close The need to be nearer than she was.

All it takes is a second Just one Before she drops the gun Before she rushes forward.

And maybe even Reveck is shocked about it but he’s too focused on his work to not even realize the gun isn’t even on him anymore.

So he just continues to work

Jinx is by Isha and in no less than a few minutes, Jinx is coated down the side in mucus spit tears and bile as she sits with her. Holds her. All things that leave a purple sheen on her clothes and exposed skin. All things that even not so far into the procedure don’t even smell right now anymore.

Isha’s nails draw blood on Jinx’s arms as she squirms and thrashes

Red like rubies against skin White like snow

And no amount of talking calms the child

no amount of pleading and pledging that this will fix everything and everything will be ok in the end convince the child to well through the agony.

Jinx can only look at Ekko, a question to late in the situation to ask

Did we make a mistake

Ekko doesn’t know

And then. . .something happens.

There’s a stutter; an odd choking sound that somehow manages to make itself known in the Cacophony of misery sounding throughout the space between the chaos.

One that makes them stop One that makes them look Because it’s one that chills all who knows it down to the bone

Jinx is familiar with it Ekko is familiar with it

Even Singed is well versed in the sound.

Stutter Choke Gasp Wheeze

Wheeze. Choke. Gasp

Silence

stillness

. . .Jinx remembers. . .back before…when they tried to help Isha the first time. . .them being done.

Of Isha being still, silent, still breathing (thank god) but dead silent. . . having finally cried herself out moments before they were actually done.

But this is. . .different

“Isha?”

Stillness

Silence

She hears Ekko’s voice somewhere above the water

“Isha?”

There’s a tremor in his voice. Like he noticed something she didn’t

And it says a lot because Jinx is the one holding her. The one coated in her

So what is she not noticing

Silence

Stillness

Quiet

“Isha!”

But Isha’s quiet. . .Isha’s still. . .like she was before

But Isha’s. . .not. . .breathing this time

A tragedy. The parents no doubt think, no doubt agonize over. A tragic loss, a soul tearing, heart breaking calamity in their world.

For the scientist?

A pity.

The subject seems to have expired. Variables in her genealogy that he would have loved to have studied in much further, vivid depth is lost now. A curiosity left unanswered before he could truly explore it.

Reveck watching the scene with a sense of morbid detachment Less like a doctor who lost a patient, a young one at that, but more so a man who just lost his morning paper to a misplaced wind gust and dirty gray puddle.

He watches. Observes. Watches them beg, plead, cry, demand the limp, half-lidded child to just wake up.

Pet names, nicknames, shakes, begs, plea’s

And he feels a twinge somewhere in his heart because despite the attachment he understands He knows what this is like.

He watches and observes and he remembers his own grief at loosing his daughter. But there’s a difference.

Science is about trial and error He ran a trial and produced an error But errors are learning experiences.

This child is a hopeless cause. No matter how much the parents try to resus her, it’s over now. His daughter’s not. With every loss comes a chance to learn. A chance to make better.

But he can’t learn here. Not so close to the barrel of a gun held within the hands of grieving parents.

you can leave now, go go while their distracted.

He turns

He runs

He gets down the hallway

POP

Something hits the wall next to him Paint chips and tiled wall hit him in the cheek

He turns For just a moment

See’s Ekko holding a smoking gun in his head with Jinx grieving behind him.

But Reveck smiles. Smiles as he stares down the barrel

“I never lied.

I told you the risks”

Arcane characters finding you asleep at their workplace

The devil works hard, but I work a little harder, so I’m back to writing Arcane headcanons a month before season two comes out.

Jayce:

- Strong sense of guilt,

- The first thing that comes to his mind is that you must have waited for him for a long time to fall asleep

- He will make it up to you by trying to cook something for you, stopping to buy your favorite sweets before heading home, and giving you a shoulder massage the moment you sit down somewhere after you wake up.

- The man of the Hamlet-like dilemma: he doesn’t want to wake you, but he also doesn’t want you to be uncomfortable.

- If he has something urgent to do, he’ll try to cover your shoulders with something, even just his jacket, to keep you warm while he finishes only the essentials.

- Once he’s free, he will very gently try to lift you from the chair, apologizing when you wake up and mumble something incoherent.

Viktor:

- In the early years of university, it sometimes happened that he found you in his room asleep, slumped over on a chair or bed with your shoes still on.

- But as the years went by and the lab became his main space, that sight became a constant, repeating at least twice a week.

- He tries to make as little noise as possible, whether with his aides, the door, or the stack of books and notebooks he needs to organize.

- Before getting to work, he leaves the room again to bring you your favorite hot drink with a plastic lid pressed on top, so it doesn’t cool down.

- Then, in complete silence, he works, deciding what to leave for tomorrow and what to do now, so he can finish as soon as possible without delaying too much.

Ekko:

- It’s hard to define what exactly a workplace is for Ekko,

- But he often finds you at the Firelights' tree, in that room that’s supposed to be his, having likely sneaked in through the window to surprise him.

- There are days when he comes back fairly early but stays to tell stories to the kids, and others when things go wrong, and he returns when it’s already dark, and almost everyone is asleep

- Finding you like this always makes him feel the absence of something more stable

- But he shakes his head and quickly pushes aside doubts about his ideals, stepping out of the room again and making more noise as he enters again, so you wake up, and he can pretend to be surprised in front of your open eyes.

- By now, you know he steps out and comes back in, but it makes you smile every single time.

Vander:

- You always sit at a table in the back of the Last Drop to wait for him, trying not to bother him, doodling, doing calculations, or planning something for the next day just to keep yourself entertained.

- But by now, the sound of drunkards and the clinking of coins and glasses have become background noise that helps lull you into a catatonic state.

- Vander usually notices after about an hour that you've fallen asleep; he always keeps an eye on you, but sometimes the customers cause problems.

- He doesn’t like leaving you there, so far away, so he usually waits for a quieter moment to come over, pick you up, and bring you behind the counter, laying you down with your arms and head resting on the wooden bar.

- He knows it’s not a big improvement, but his priority is to keep you safe.

- When he finishes working, he closes the bar without doing the closing duties, sets his alarm for earlier than usual, and carries you to your room in his arms, covering your forehead with kisses.

Silco:

- The problem with Silco finding you asleep in his office is that he rarely arrives alone.

- There’s always either Sevika or at least two other henchmen following him.

- He sighs and sends them away, not without Sevika giving him a provocative look that means everything and nothing.

- He hates those situations because part of him feels a strange warmth at the thought of you sneaking into his office for whatever reason, but on the other hand, he knows it negatively affects his image to be seen as a leader who tolerates certain insubordinations.

- Because sneaking into the kingpin’s office is something that would get almost anyone else outside decapitated. But not you.

- He huffs, pacing the room to deal with both emotions, and when he finally calms down, he approaches you, shaking you slightly to wake you up.

- It’s certainly not the gentlest gesture on his part, but most of the time, it ends with you either going back to sleep in his bed while he works, or sitting on his lap while he flips through papers without paying them much attention.

Jinx:

- She can’t contain her excitement at all. When she notices your figure in her workshop, she always lets out a little happy sound that wakes you up.

- From there, she immediately starts apologizing at least a thousand times, feeling guilty for waking you up but still too happy that you came to visit her.

- She helps you up, talking nonstop about her day and anything that comes to mind as she leads you outside.

- It’s not because she doesn’t want you around, but because she assumes you must be hungry as soon as you wake up, so before you're fully awake, you’ll find yourself at the Last Drop with enough food in front of you to feed her father’s entire gang of henchmen.

- And she will absolutely feed you herself when she sees you haven’t taken a bite in too long, while stealing food here and there and continuing to talk.

Vi:

- For her, too, a "workplace" is a somewhat vague concept,

- But in return, she has her secret spot, where she hides at night and tries to survive when she’s not out on the streets looking for trouble.

- Every time she finds you there, she feels an indescribable pang in her heart.

- She always feels like she’s neglecting the person she loves and failing to make you understand how much she cares about you.

- She always hesitates before waking you up; sometimes she’ll even go change into clean clothes and wash the grime off her hands and face first.

- Then she’ll wake you by sitting next to you, giving you a kiss, calling you by a silly nickname only the two of you know, and rubbing her forehead against yours before asking, with a rhetorical smile,

- "Did you miss me?"

Caitlyn:

- Sometimes you find yourself in the inner waiting room of the precinct, with her colleagues pointing out your body slumped in the chair and raising their eyebrows, teasing her. Other times, you simply sneak into her room, which isn’t much different from the police station anyway.

- Every time, she sighs and gently wakes you, her pale eyes a little sad.

- “Why didn’t you call me?” It doesn’t matter to her that you didn’t want to disturb her, because to her, you’re never a disturbance. It’s not a problem to have you around, even in public. She just feels bad that you waited instead of telling her, so she could have come much sooner.

- She takes you away from the station without any issues, letting you continue resting against her shoulder as a Kiramman private vehicle takes you both to her home.

- If you’re already in her room, she usually changes and lies down next to you, taking the chance to nap together, wrapped in each other's arms.

Mel:

- Falling asleep inside the Senate? Impossible.

- But the keys to her office and her room are always in your pocket, and you usually bring her something to eat when you visit, though by the time you fall asleep, both the coffee and the treats are cold.

- She’s not used to displays of affection, so she stays still for a few seconds before smiling and shaking her head.

- She doesn’t wake you immediately, not because she doesn’t want to, but because if the sound of the door didn’t wake you, you probably need the rest. So she lets you sleep for at least 30 minutes before coming over, brushing your hair behind your ears to wake you, laughing when you lift your head with your eyes still closed.

Sevika:

- The first thing anyone would think is that falling asleep at the Last Drop is extremely dangerous. However, Silco’s henchmen aren’t too different from bipedal dogs by now; they know who you are, recognize your face and scent, and if they notice you’ve fallen asleep somewhere, at least three of them sit at your table to ensure your safety.

- Sevika is always tasked with the worst imaginable jobs—tedious, long, and often dangerous—so when she finally returns, it’s usually either time to open the bar to the public or time to close it.

- Even when she sees you, she can’t come to you right away, so she makes a face at whoever is watching over you, as if urging them to protect you better while she heads into the office.

- Like Silco, part of her feels subconsciously softened by the idea that someone would feel the physical need to be with her so much that they’d wait, sitting until they fell asleep.

- But on the other hand, she’s terrified that someone might see you and come after you to settle personal scores in a cowardly way.

- When she finally comes down, she pulls you into her arms without saying a word, holding you under her large cape as she carries you away.
