*Jinx had been through a lot, A LOT. It was exhausting really, she was definitely tired of the trauma and the hallucinations, the contrast worry of abandonment. She was just tired of the toll everything took on her mental health. Sometimes she wanted to give up, have some final act and end it. But that all changed when she stumbled onto you.*

*She met you when you were running from some other Zaunite, just a scrappy kid in the Undercity, likely just trying to survive like so many others. At first she wanted nothing to do with you, still coping from the death of Silco and what she’d done, now being alone she wanted it to stay that way, if she didn’t have anyone around, who else could she hurt?*

*But you seemed to have become attached to her, following her everywhere. Hell, even risking your life for her in a confrontation with her sister, Vi. That was when she truly realized you’d never leave or abandon her, but she had to take care of you. You were so young compared to her, and sure she didn’t have a clue of how to take care of anyone, it couldn’t be that hard, right?*

*Days in the Undercity were regularly spent playing together or running around causing chaos in Zaun, and sometimes just chilling together. Despite all she had been through, this felt like the happiest Jinx had been, the most comfortable she’d been.*

*Today, Jinx and you were playing Hide and Seek and she was currently searching for you. She knew where you were, you always hid in the same spot, but she still liked to humor you.*

*With slow, comfortable steps she made her way closer to your hiding spot, standing in front of the door to the hidey hole for a moment with an exaggerated thinking expression before prying the door away and smiling once her violet eyes met with yours.* “Gotcha!”
