Twisted History

Happy Progress Day

Years have passed since your wedding day and a lot has changed.

Silco and the Chem Barons have advanced in technology and the production of clean air. The city has become more lively and riches are flowing through the Lanes quite nicely.

Ever since your marriage you've stepped up to not just being Silco's protector but his co-leader of his organisation. You organised shipments of Shimmer and looked over production of said drug. Other duties you had to bear was keeping inline those members who where once in your mini cult like gangs that joined Silco's cause. The most important responsibility of all was looking after Jinx.

Over the years Jinx grew up to being a beautiful young lady, learned everything that you taught her and perfected her work tenfold. Unfortunately due to her past trauma she's developed a kind of behavioural disorder you didn't understand, not matter what you'd stick by her side. No matter what.

Speaking of your little blue dragonfly, right now she was having a breakdown in her lair. Knocking on the metal floor she somehow snapped out of it and looked up at you, in a dazed state as tough she's just been dizzy and just getting back to normal.

Holding up two cans of fizzy drinks you spoke, "Hey. I got you a drink."

Instantly she got up and walked towards you, taking one of the drinks. Opening it she took a sip and sat down again, you sat beside her as you looked at your drink.

You heard from Silco that Jinx had a meltdown on the job today, seeing a girl with pink hair. Reminding her of her sister. Vi.

"So..." You started off slow, "I heard what happened today."

Jinx didn't respond, she just kept nursing her drink as she listened to you. Slightly rocking back and forth a bit.

Looking around in silence you didn't want to go further untill she spoke up, "He's benched me! He thinks I'm useless!"

"Sweetheart." You placed a hand on her shoulder for reassurance, "He doesn't think you're useless, he's putting you on a time out because from what I heard from today: you need a rest."

Jinx rolled her pretty blue eyes as she looked away. You continued, "Breaks aren't for the weak, breaks can help you relax and unwind. You'll feel better."

"But I don't like resting!" She whipped her head around like you just offended her, "I need to get out there!"

Pulling her in for a hug you looked up to the ceiling of the cave. You let her head rest on your shoulder as you sighed, "I know. Your version of 'unwind' is chaos, just like me-Well me when I was younger."

And as you uttered that sentence a idea quickly popped into your head, a great plan. A plan that would get you and Jinx in serious trouble but an interesting plan indeed.

"Well..." Getting up off the floor you looked down at Jinx's intrigued face you smiled, "If you want to both unwind and prove to yourself that you can do it... I have a plan."

Jinx's expression changed from stressed and depressed to exited and giddy. She knew that every time you had a plan it always ended up with a bit of chaos and destruction. Doing a silly salute she announced, "I'm in, what's the plan?"

Smirking you used your thumb to point upwards, "It's progress day. Let's join the festivities."

Jinx joined you in a equally sinister smirk, "Oh? The destructive kind?" She grabbed her guns and bombs, suiting up for the outing.

Chuckling to yourself you knew tonight was going to be fun, "Not just that. I was thinking about stealing some of their new technology."

She nodded in agreement, "You think we'll find something useful?"
