"You did this?"
Why in the world had it been necessary to see those two scenes? There was nothing important about them, Ekko thought. How nice now my family found out when I lost my virginity.
"If it's any help, I've always regretted saying that to her," Ekko said, running his hands over his face.
"Oh right I feel better now." Adult Vi said sarcastically.
"I don't understand." Little Ekko said in confusion. "Why is it Powder's fault what happened to Vander?"
Those from the future looked at him without knowing what to say, Powder looked at them with his big blue eyes scared by the answer.
"It's complicated," said the adult Vi, taking a deep breath.
How does she explain to them that it was all an accident? How does she tell them that Powder hadn't wanted to hurt anyone? But that had changed, now Jinx only wanted to hurt and harm. Her little sister had changed so much and all because of that man, even if Ekko says otherwise he should have done something to her sister, she wasn't... she wasn't like that. But if she was, could she save her?
"What do you mean it's complicated?" Mylo asks, frowning in annoyance because they weren't giving him an answer.
Ekko sighed before answering. "Look, it was an accident, she..."
His response was interrupted by the projector turning back on.
The 4th scene started with a building on fire, grey smoke covering the whole place, a light rain starting to fall slowly.
"Oh, no." Adult Vi said as she recognized the place, her hands starting to shake. She didn't want to see this, she didn't want to, not again.
Vander, looking monstrous and wounded, with purple veins, his face almost unrecognizable, lies on the ground already dead, a 16-year-old Vi cries inconsolably over his body. The teenager, who has several cuts on her face, her clothes burned and her pink hair singed, gets up from the ground with her body shaking.
Exclamations of horror filled the room in no time, and soon came those of anguish.
"Dad!" Powder exclaimed, hugging Vander as she began to cry, her eyes filled with fear at the scene in front of her.
Little Ekko was hugged by Benzo who had teary eyes at the state of his dear friend.
Mylo, Claggor and teenage Vi stood in shock staring at the projection, their dad was torn apart, bleeding and a strange color, his once warm eyes were now empty.
Ekko looked at the scene trying not to cry, he had never seen Vander's body he had only heard things about what it had looked like but this... this was devastating.
Vander could only look at the scene with a petrified face, the only pain he felt was the anguish of his children, the fact that some had died, another in jail and another alone.
Behind her appears Powder with cheerful steps, a big smile on his face and bright eyes.
Adult Vi closed her eyes tightly at the sight of Powder, she knew what was coming and wanted to hit herself.
"Vi, it worked!" She told her older sister with joy.
Vi, still recovering from the loss of her father, turns to look at Powder in confusion. "What?"
"Did you see me?" Powder asked Vi, approaching her excitedly. "My monkey bomb finally worked."
"Did it work?" Powder asked, her eyes shining with a little hope, her bombs never worked.
Vi looks at her with tears in her eyes. "You did this?"
Powder's blue eyes widened as she realized that she had caused this, the fire, Vander's... death... It was her fault? The adult Ekko had said so but...
Powder's face changes in confusion at her sister's reaction, until she sees Vander behind Vi.
Vi sighs trying to remain calm. "Why? Why did you do this?"
"Stupid" Said adult Vi angry with herself. "She didn't do it on purpose"
Teenage Vi looked at her little Powder with guilt, she knew that hadn't happened yet but her chest was starting to hurt, she wanted to get angry but not at Powder, not at her, no.
Powder's eyes quickly fill with tears and her body begins to shake. "I— I didn’t…" Her voice broke. "I was saving you."
The little blue-haired girl turns her head and sees Claggor's glasses broken and covered in blood, with tears starting to run down her cheeks. "I-I only wanted to help, I only wanted to help, I only wanted to help!"
Claggor felt nauseous seeing his glasses on the ground in that state, then not only had Vander died he had also died. He tried to breathe but his chest wouldn't help. Had his little sister been the cause of that? Had she killed him? No, his little blue would never do that, not on purpose.
Vi frowned and said in an angry tone, "I told you to stay away."
The teenage Vi looked at the scene scared, that tone in her voice... No, please.
"Please." Powder said crying with her body hunched over, she hadn't taken her eyes off her sister.
"I told you to stay away!" Vi shouted angrily, punching Powder causing her to fall to the ground.
Powder was startled as she watched her sister hit her in the projection, flashes and shapes began to form before her eyes causing her breathing to accelerate.
The teenage Vi with tears in her eyes quickly turned to Powder who was hyperventilating, she gently held her face and caressed her cheeks, wiping away her tears. "Bunny, forgive me. I-I would never hit you, you know that right?"
Powder didn't answer her, she didn't know what to say, she wanted to say that she did know but Vi had wanted to hit her several times but she never did, until now, well, until that moment in the projection.
Ekko looked at the teenage Vi and Powder, he could see the fear behind her small eyes. Jinx had told him that Vi had hit her just before she had beaten him at the age of 14.
Powder holding her hurt cheek continues crying and yells at Vi. "Why did you leave me?"
Vi quickly appoaches and grabs her face roughly, bringing it close to hers. "Because you are a jinx. Did you hear me? Mylo was right."
Powder still with his face held by teenage Vi looked at the projection with the voices increasing in volume. Vi kept talking to her but she wasn't listening anymore.
Jinx. Jinx. Jinx. Jinx. Jinx. Jinx. Jinx.
Mylo looked at the projection with guilt, he could be an idiot sometimes.
"No, no, no." Powder cries, looking at her older sister in fear, as her nose starts to bleed. "Violet, please."
The adult Vi looked at her own hands with guilt and nausea.
Seeing the blood Vi's gaze changes as she realizes what she just did, she looks at her injured, bandaged hand now stained with Powder's blood in disbelief. She staggers away from Powder, her breathing labored, her shoulders hunched in pain, tears filling her eyes again.
As Vi walks past Powder, the girl covers her face in fear of receiving another blow, but she only sees Vi walking away from her down the alley. "Vi! Vi, come back!"
"What are you doing?" Teenage Vi yelled at Adult Vi, carefully letting go of Powder's face.
"I-I just... I needed to get away. I was going to hurt her more if I stayed there." Adult Vi said with a pained voice.
"Do you think she's okay there alone?" the angry teenage Vi yelled at her again.
The adult Vi shook her head as tears began to fall down her face, Caitlyn by her side could only hold her hand tightly not knowing how to comfort her.
The teenage Vi looked at her counterpart in disbelief that she had been able to hit her little sister, the girl she had seen born and grow up, and not only that, she now left her crying.
Powder cries hysterically, kneeling a few feet away from Vander's body. "Violet, please, I need you!"
Vi walks away from the alley and leans against a wall, breathing heavily. When she starts crying she just falls to the ground sliding down the wall.
Everyone present could only watch in silence as the two sisters grieved.
Powder who continues crying and screaming on the ground begins to hit her head with her hands. "Stop!" She shouted in a broken voice to the empty alley as white flashes began to appear around her. Many incomprehensible voices began to swirl around her, causing her to cover her ears. Her screams did not stop and her crying only began, causing her to hyperventilate.
Powder felt nauseous when she saw her own hallucinations and voices on the projection, she didn't like the fact that everyone saw her that way, it made her feel ashamed and scared.
The others present felt distressed when they saw what little Powder's head really looked like.
The white flashes around her began to take shape and change color, she still couldn't tell who they were but they were no longer faceless voices. "Leave me alone!" Powder cried, pulling at her hair.
Vander's eyes filled with tears as he heard his little girl's heartbreaking cries, there was no greater pain for a father than to see his children suffer, they say.
Ekko's heart broke as he heard the girl's broken voice. He had comforted her many times, but this cry was different. She was broken, hurt in a way that hurt him.
Silco, his clothes singed and slightly wounded, slowly approaches Powder in the alley with a dagger in his hand. As he crouches in front of the girl he says in a gentle voice. "Hello little girl, where is your sister?"
"Silco?" Vander asked as he saw the man who was once his brother.
Then all the chips fell into place, the man... the bad man... the one who manipulated her little girl was Silco... The one who contaminated Zaun... The one who transformed his daughter into a killing machine.
Benzo looked at the projection in surprise, it had been a long time since he had seen the man who was once his friend.
The voices and flashes stopped as soon as Powder heard the man's voice, she slowly raised her head, her body shaking from crying, and threw herself at him, hugging him.
"Why did she do that?" Mylo asked.
Silco now sitting on the floor surprised could only listen to what the little girl was saying.
"She left me."
"I didn't do it, Pow." Adult Vi said softly, covering her crying face.
Silco turned his gaze to the one who was once his brother, who was now dead because of him and listened to Powder. "She's not my sister anymore."
Both Vi felt their hearts break upon hearing those words spoken with so much pain, with so much hate.
Hesitantly, Silco hugs Powder, pulling her towards his body so that she rests on his chest while his minions could only watch. "We'll show them, we'll show them all."
Vander had never felt so angry in a long time, he would take care of Silco himself.
The last thing we see is Jinx's angry eye in her father's arms.
