No Regrets (Vi x Caitlyn)

No Regrets

The red and blue lights were most of the illumination found in the shadow-cloaked part of Zaun, where Piltover's Finest had finally put a stop to the vile one that brainwashed dozens of Zaunites and converted them to crazed worshippers.

With the two colors reflecting and shining all over the place, it was nearly giving the Deputy a headache as she walked out of the dilapidated building. She would've walked out earlier, but she wanted to make sure Urgot was properly and securely detained. They couldn't afford having him on the prowl, unless they wanted the blood of the innocent to paint the earth.

Violet eyes scanned the hextech cruisers parked around the building, seeking for the person she had been worried about ever since they had arrived at the vicinity. She was feeling immensely uneasy, unable to bring herself to relax despite the fact that their whole operation was a success.

"Officer Vi, your gauntlets."

Turning around, the Enforcer's search was halted and her attention was briefly focused on the two men that was carrying both of her weapons. The latter needed a lot of fixes and maybe a couple of upgrades, but they could wait. Something else couldn't though.

Vi waved a hand at the men somewhat dismissively. "Put them in the back of the cruiser. I need to go check on something."

Once the officers nodded and left to do her order, she spun back around and continued looking for her partner in the midst of the little mess of police and vehicles. Her eyes snapped towards the ambulance at the back of three other transports, her breath hitching for a second upon the sight of it.

Breaking off into a sprint, Vi hurriedly approached the medical personnel, who seemed to be checking on a particular person. The same one she had been worrying herself over.

"If your description of the situation is accurate, then expect to deal with a sore back for a couple of days." The medic told the Sheriff, who was picking up her hat from the side as her examination finished and she was finally allowed to stand. "And I suggest you place some ice on the back of your head. You did say you hit your head when you fell."

"Understood. Thank you."

"I'll make sure she does what you said." Vi abruptly cut in, slightly surprising the medic.

"Oh, uh, of course." The man replied with a nod before his eyes fell on Vi's bandaged hands. "Officer Vi, if I may check your hands for any...-"

"Thanks, but no thanks." Vi interrupted, nodding at the man and taking a step back to further show that she didn't need any medical attention.

"Vi...-" Caitlyn thought otherwise though, wanting to have her partner get checked for any sort of injuries. Unfortunately for her though, the Deputy had no intention in letting such happen.

"If you'd excuse us, I'm going to take the Sheriff home."

The man nodded, already sensing that the two women seemed to have a lot to discuss. "Of course, of course. Safe travels, Officer."

Vi thanked the medic for the help he provided to Caitlyn before she started towards their police cruiser, her partner trailing closely after her. Caitlyn had placed one of the officers in charge of the whole clean-up operation before she finally allowed Vi to take her back to Piltover.

Despite being in the vehicle for nearly fifteen minutes, the two have yet to say anything about what happened. Vi kept her eyes on the road and drove in moderate speed, while Caitlyn sat at the front seat and glanced at her every now and then, especially at her hands.

The only sound in the transport that could be heard was the occasional clinking and clanking of the loose parts inside the totaled gauntlets at the backseat, which wasn't enough to mask the seemingly growing tension in between the pair.
