Who does Vi shoot first?

Caitlyn, level one.

Chapter 5 by Adova

After Vi's excursion to her place of birth she climbed back up to the city of progress, eventually making it to the Kiramman estate. She rung the bell only to be answered by a maid. Luckily she was easily recognized as she had spent time there before and was let in. She was told that Caitlyn was last seen in her room and proceeded up the grand staircase to see her. Once she got to the door she knocked cautiously. Trying to be a little more subtle like Caitlyn had asked of her before. A muffled voice spoke up from the other side, clearly Caitlyn's.

- Who is it?
- It's me...Caitlyn.
There was a slight pause before the cop replied.
- I told the maid to not let you in. I don't want to chat right now.
- Oh come on cupcake....don't blame the maid. I kinda forced my way inside.
That wasn't true, but Caitlyn didn't need to know that.

- Besides I came to apologize for earlier...
Another brief pause. Vi sighed, feeling as if she should probably go. Right as she was about to turn and leave the door creaked upon slowly. Caitlyn stood on the other side, arms crossed with a slightly sour expression on her face.
- Well. You coming in or what?

Vi sat down on Caitlyn's sofa, watching the woman sit down by her desk and take a quick sip from a cup of tea. Studying a bunch of material related to their current case.
- Whatever you need to say, say it fast. I'm busy trying to figure this out and you've already put me in a sour mood.
- I uhh...well....

Vi is terrible at apologies, she really does lack the subtlety of such things.
- I just took a lengthy walk down home...to Zaun. It got me thinking a lot. About you, me...
- ...And?
- ...And about Jinx.
- There it is. It is always about her with you.
- She's my sister!
- Was your sister. She is something entirely different now. Don't pretend you have not noticed.
- That doesn't mean i'm going to give up on her. She can change. I know who she is deep down...

- You said that last time, before she committed a firebombing that killed ten of our officers and two dozen innocents. Even IF she is capable of change, she will rot the rest of her life away in the stockades to answer for her crimes.

Vi slumped together, growing quiet. Deep down she sort of knew Caitlyn was right, yet she still couldn't help but feel herself growing agitated from the entire ordeal. She could never quite shake the fact that Caitlyn was part of the rich elite that had caused most of the problems the people of the undercity face.

- You can sleep on my Sofa tonight. But only if you promise to take a shower first.

Vi sighed as she leaned backwards slightly, grunting back her confirmation. That was when she felt something poking her butt as she reached backwards to feel what it was. Realisation struck her as she grabbed the 'Brainblazzter' she had clipped to the back of her belt. She held it in her hands, studying it once more. She hadn't noticed but on the other side there was a dial that was labeled from 1 to 5. Above it in blue paint Powder had clearly written 'Power level'.

Caitlyn, back still turned to Vi spoke up again, slightly annoyed.
- I'd prefer it if you took that shower as soon as possible. Before you stink up my furniture.
-Vi remembered the instructions she had read for the toy. 'For use when Vi needs to relax.' With how Caitlyn was being right now she could use some relaxing. The way her friend seemed to be disgusted by the smell of Vi's home was insulting. If only she could chill and learn that there is more to life than fancy furniture. Vi flipped the gun in her hand once more, before playfully pointing it at Caitlyn. There was no way this thing was going to work, let alone still have power after all these years. She pulled the trigger, a soft click barely audible being heard. Within a second the gun glowed pink, charging up as the coils grew warm, hummed a strange noise, and sent a beam of pink wavy energy straight forwards, hitting Caitlyn in her back.

The cop yelped in surprise, standing up immediately bu pushing her chair back from her table. She turned around to face Vi with a shocked expression.

- What was that?
Vi, still holding the 'BrainBlazzter' was completely taken aback, having thought the thing worked. What had it done? What if it was about to hurt Caitlyn? Although her friend did look unharmed, in fact she sort of glowed slightly. Not literally, but in the sense that she looked slightly better in every way. As if she had just been groomed immaculately at a spa vacation and not spent the entire day hunched over working.
- I uhh....I didn't know it would work!
Caitlyn's eyes locked at the raygun. Her voice was surprisingly calm considering the situation.
- That thing?
Vi nodded.
- Yeah....I found it. It was one of Powders inventions that was left behind where we used to train...
Vi was sure Caitlyn was about to lose it, she had been shot at by a gun made by JINx, surely she was going to lose it. For some reason though Caitlyn simply narrowed her eyes slightly.
- Hmm...well it didn't really do anything. I feel fine. In fact I feel sort of relaxed I suppose.
Caitlyn approached Vi and put a hand gently on her right shoulder.
- Sorry for yelling at you earlier Vi. I'm glad you came back. Now please be kind and grab that shower instead of playing with toys. Alright?

Kiramman smiled, Vi had no idea how to react. Clearly the gun had worked. Right? Or was she going crazy? There is no world where Caitlyn would be this calm considering what just happened. Not wanting to ruin the mood however Vi slowly nodded and walked into the grand bathroom in Caitlyn's room, bringing the gun with her.
