Twisted History

Merry Christmas

Leaning against the doorframe of Singed's lab you tried to keep warm, it's started to snow a few days ago and it's gotten drastically colder. Even the beach you stood near had snow blanketing the sand underneath.

Right now as you where freezing your ass off in the cold, waiting to be let in, Silco and Jinx was decorating your old room turned dining/living room in Christmas decorations. The tree was found outside in the woodlands of Zaun, where you and Sevika cut it down and brought it back with a second one. The second one sits inside the bar, already decorated.

It's been a few months after your sighting in Piltover and a lots happened since then. First you moved into Silco's bedroom where he was extremely comfortable to sleep next to. Then after word of your return to the Undercity as 'The Firewalker of Zaun' brought back your old followers and some new ones too, adding to Silco's head count for his plans. Afterwards he dip dyed you're hair; seeing Jinx's happy face after it was done was worth the trouble. And finally Jinx found a way to make blue fire for your flamethrower. Also Sevika, she's now got a metal arm from where her old one used to be. It's powered by Shimmer and it's a massive upgrade to her fighting.

You where pulled out of your thoughts when the door opened, revealing the good doctor on the other side. You greeted him, "Good after, Singed. Merry Christmas."

He nodded, "Merry Christmas, would you like to come inside?"

Nodding your head he let you in, coming inside it appears that nothing has changed. Well, not a lot has except for the amount of Shimmer that was piled in that one corner.

"What brings you here in this weather?" He asked, voice still as old and damaged as before. Turning around to him you see him holding up two warm beverages, you took one and took a sip. It was a bit bitter but alright.

"I've come to invite you to Christmas at our place." You announced, taking another sip of the bitter brew.

Singed thought about it for a moment and then looked back to you, "Yes, I'd love to attend."

"Perfect, Jinx will be happy." Commenting, you found somewhere to sit and sat down on the wooden chair. Singed pulled up another chair, "Jinx? Did she ask for me?"

Using your hand you flattened it and moved it sided to side like a seesaw, "Not exactly, I came up with the idea and she got exited."

"Ahh, your afraid I'd be alone this Christmas." Singed commented, not looking surprised.

Raising an eyebrow, you looked at him unamused, "No, I just wanted to be nice. Also your my only friend I have these days."

"Only friend?" He scoffed, "What about Sevika and Silco."

"I ment a friend that's just my friend." You commented, rolling your eyes at the scared man.

Looking at you he nodded again, "I guess I know where you're coming from."

For a while you two just sat there, drinking your now lukewarm drinks and talking about recent events. Talking about work and other topics like machinery, stuff like that. After a while you decided to head back before Silco and Jinx gets worried.

*************

It was three days before Christmas and you where held up in your bedroom wrapping presents for Jinx and Silco. She wanted a few things this year and the rest where improved, since this year was the first Christmas with your new family you wanted to make it special.

The first few presents contained a small plush shark for Silco, he likes sea monsters and sea creatures so you hope he likes. There's also parts for Jinx's bombs, mainly chemical components to improve her bombs. There are a few more things wrapped but they're not really important.
