Bored. She was bored. Bored beyond words and that was a PROBLEM. She had waited. Waited, waited, waited, waited, WAITED AND FUCKING WAITED for that stupid dumb Fat Hands to make an appearance given that she was the GUEST OF HONOR AFTER ALL. And what had she gotten in return? Nothing. Not a damned thing. Just the ugly ol' Hat Lady strollin' out'f her office lookin' to put a bullet between her eyes. BORING. UUUUUGH.
That, of course, had been weeks ago. FOREVER AGO. Now, she was finding out (THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH, I MEAN C'MON) that Fat Hands wasn't EVEN. IN. LAMETOVER. The news had brought her near to tearing out several handfuls of some idiot's hair and now, bored AND irritated, she walked through the streets of Lametover without a care but with every inch of a righteous purpose. Fishbones rested heavily on one shoulder as she approached the office of the illustrious Sheriff of Piltover. She stopped when she was just a stone's throw from the lowest step leading up to the door, ground the balls of her feet into the gravel to turn and face the facade, and rest her free hand in a curled fist on her hip.
"OI!! Hat Lady!!" She raised her free fist up parallel with the ground and twisted her fingers into the shape of a gun. She squinted one eye as if aiming down a scope and grinned a little too widely. "C'mon out here! I wanna talk to ya!"

Originally returning to Piltover to visit his family, Nathan walks around the now darkened streets of Piltover to hopefully find an open convenient store to satisfy his empty stomach. Sure there were reports of a madwoman loose in the streets of Piltover, but she's one woman in a huge city. What are the chances that he would actually bump into-
"OI!! Hat Lady!! C'mon out here! I wanna talk to ya!"
oh shit!
Nathan couldn't help but to react as he spots Jinx in front of the police station. He immediately covers his mouth and looks around frantically for an escape rout. Nathan slowly walks away while keeping an eye on Jinx, hoping to the gods that she didn't hear him,

At first the blunette remains fixated on her target, waiting (AGAIN) for someone fun to emerge from the station. After a moment, however, she turns, slow and deliberate towards the sound of someone nearby. The grin on her face, split from ear-to-ear is the first thing to be seen, even before the rest of her facial features. Pink hues lock on the retreating citizen and a manic chuckle escapes her.
"Hee.~ Hey you! C'm'over here a sec!"
Without waiting for an answer, she stalks towards Nathan with exaggerated steps pounded into the street beneath her. Fishbones bobs against her shoulder as she walks and gets as close to the male's face as she can. "Y'wouldn't happen ta know where the stinky ol' Hat Lady is, wouldja?"

Everything seems to happen in slow motion for Nathan as Jinx first starts to notice him
no...
She turns around and smiles at him
"Hee.~ Hey you! C'm'over here a sec!"
no no no....
And now she's sprinting right at him
nononononoNONONONO!!
Finally she stops just in front of Nathan's face which gives him a clear view of the madwoman as a whole. She's a bit shorter then Nathan with a sort of Zuan-like quality to her, well at least the clothes are definately from Zuan. The next thing Nathan notice was her smell, which is like gunpowder and...nothing else. On her shoulder rests a mechanical shark....with a missile in its mouth...which means its a rocket launcher....oh boy...
"Y'wouldn't happen ta know where the stinky ol' Hat Lady is, wouldja?"
Nathan paused for a few moments, deliberately thinking on what his response should be while trying to not fear the psychopath in front of him, or at least act like he wasn't scared.
...I-I don't suppose you could be more specific? Many ladies in this City wear hats...

Garth was returning from one of his patrols to report his finding, it had been a more peaceful day...all things considering. As he got closer, he heard a rather impatient female voice call out,
"C'mon out here! I wanna talk to ya!
Caitlyn's apprentice felt as though he heard this voice before....at another incident. As he rounded the corner he saw long blue hair, with a shark like object on her shoulder. This fit the description of the criminal known as Jinx, The Loose Cannon. It seems like the villain had a desire to push her luck, and it appeared that she had found another victim to paint the walls red with. He quickly prepared his rifle, and placed the stock against his shoulder. He aimed down the sights with his augmented eye to decrease the chances of him missing, should Jinx be hostile. Granted, he was behind her, so if he missed...he would undoubtedly hit Nathan. Now that he was ready, he would perform his duty and stop this madwoman from committing another crime and hurting someone else.
"Jinx!" The sheriff in training barked, before quickly adding, "By the power invested in me by the city of Piltover, I am placing you under arrest for your crimes! Put your hands on your head, and get down on your knees! Resist and you will be subdued with force!" The young man was taken back a little by the confidence he projected in his voice. If the citizen Jinx was facing was smart, he would be getting away from Jinx. Lest he wanted to get caught up in a fight between the law and a criminal. The augmented eye stared unflinching down the sights of the rifle aimed at Jinx's back. The symbol emblazoned on the gauntlet that Garth wore began to glow blue. He would leave nothing to chance this time around, after all if he did....then he had no doubt that it would be his blood painting the town red.
Zaun science is killing far more than its saving. I want to put a stop to that!

Garth wouldn't be able to finish his words before a shot was sound from the rooftop of the office. It was a shot aimed at Jinx, from one very special "hat lady". Aiming at her head, Caitlyn took the shot after a few seconds of aiming, killing her was the thought that ran in her head. There wasn't much to say here, Caitlyn shot to kill and she didn't have a problem risking a civilian in this matter.

A sudden gunshot caused Nathan to react to the teachings of his mentor in Piltover University: "Reactions are usually inconveniences in any dangerous situations, but they can be programmed to more useful maneuvers with a little training. "
GET DOWN!!
Nathan, out of instinct, dive forward and slightly to the left in order to grab Jinx and take both of them into the ground. He felt an extremely sharp pain on the top of his right shoulder as he fell, with splatters of blood painting the ground as he landed. He honestly could not believed what he had done, Nathan just attempted to save a wanted mass murdering criminal out of instinct...
He looked around to see if he can find a place to scramble to in order to gain cover.

Jinx rolled her eyes. Leave it to Lametover's bumbling idiots to know NOTHING ABOUT THEIR OWN FREAKIN' CITY. She reached forward and grabbed the stranger's lapels and pulled him close.
"Now, listen, pal, I don't really like it when people play dumb with me, a'right? I'm standin' here, outside the Hat Lady's house and I'm askin' for the Hat Lady. WHO DO YOU THINK I MEAN, MORON? I'm not in the mood to waste time--"
Someone was shouting. Someone. Was. Shouting. Interrupting her. DEMANDING her attention, her cooperation, and INTERRUPTING HER while she was busy. Her head snapped in the newcomer's direction, irritation written in her features. "HEY! IT'S REALLY RUDE TO INTERRUPT, Y'KNOW? I'M -TRYING- TO HAVE A CONVERSATI--"
Gunshot number one. More interruption. Her grip on 'bones trembled in her mounting anger and she turned to answer the officer but was very suddenly dropping face first onto the cobblestone street. Her head throbbed, her vision swam, she felt something warm running in her eyes. She stayed down on the ground for a few seconds, drumming her fingers against the stone with a bored expression on her face. These interruptions were getting in the way of her fun and that just would. Not. Do.
Before another shot could be fired (or perhaps to avoid another shot that HAD been fired), she rolled from her spot and twisted her body into a seated position. Fishbones was hauled out from under her, lined up with the "Welcome" sign on office's front door, and held there, waiting. She shouted for everyone to hear.
"ALRIGHT, LOOK. I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING SHOT AT BY SOME COWARD TOO SCARED TO SHOW HIS FACE. ALL I WANT IS TO KNOW WHERE THE HAT LADY IS. I'M BEING -NICE- AND ASKING FIRST. BUT IF YOU'D RATHER I JUST START SHOOTING EVERYTHING THAT AIN'T DEAD YET, I'D BE HAPPY TO OBLIGE!"

Garth immediately took cover upon hearing the sudden gunshot that interrupted his speech. Though the gunshot sounded familiar, almost like he had heard the weapon discharge at the shooting range. The young man was less focused on Jinx's statement or reply that she had, and peered around the corner looking for the shooter. It sounded like it came from the roof of the station, which was good because that meant it was most likely friendly. Most likely that is. Garth stepped back around the corner, his gun trained on Jinx, who had just recovered with a roll. The criminal prepared the rocket she named 'Fishbones', or so the reports he read stated, before yelling our her demands. She wanted to see Caitlyn, who might have been the shooter she just called a coward. Which was a little ironic considering how Jinx operated by picking on defenseless citizen. An insane, hypocrite that was also a criminal...truly The Loose Cannon was bad news no matter how one looked at it.
Then there was the hapless citizen who was now scrambling for someplace to hide, Garth gestured for the citizen to come over to him. At least this way Jinx would not have a hostage to use against the proper authorities. Once the citizen was out of the way, regardless of how this citizen got out the way, Garth would then call out to Jinx.
"You know, Jinx, you could meet her. If you surrendered, and put your weapons down. I can assure you that Caitlyn would be more than thrilled to see you." Granted by thrilled, Garth meant that Caitlyn would throw The Loose Cannon into the highest security cell they have, most likely with a straight jacket and several other restraints. Caitlyn's apprentice steadied his aim a bit, just in case Jinx turned on him and tried to resist arrest. Maybe this could still end peacefully?

A second gunshot, this one was aimed at Fishbones. If it did hit the launcher, throwing it off from Jinx's hand, the shooter would be known to all as Caitlyn. If it didn't too bad.
In any case, after she shot, Caitlyn skipped down from her office, jumping from the fire stairs and into cover on the ground in a few seconds.
"Jinx ain't under arrest, Garth. Jinx is sentenced to DEATH." Caitlyn announced. The mad girl was too much for her to handle. If she will bring it to justice, it will be with a swift shot.

Nathan notices Garth and immediately tries to move to him, only to find his right arm is responding very little to his command. The wounded man would instead use his left hand to slowly crawl to Garth

The sound of a high speed bullet colliding with the metal of her launcher echoed in the streets and Jinx twirled with the force of the collision rather than releasing Fishbones from her grip. "WHOAAA!"~ She laughed as her vision swam briefly when she came to a stop after completing a one-eighty and shook her head to regain composure.
"HEY!" Her eyes searched frantically before coming to stop on the one person she'd been looking for all along. Her face lit up at the sight of the tall purple sheriff lady and she grinned, waving excitedly over her head. "Well hey there Hat Lady! Nice o' ya ta finally join the party! Listen, I was hopin' ta talk to ya 'bout somethin' that's been BAWtherin' me."
She hoisted Fishbones up onto her shoulder and balanced him there, but made a show of intentionally pulling her hand of the trigger as if to exemplify her (rather BORING but whatever) lack of intent on using it (UNLESS NECESSARY). "I promise if ya don't try nothin' stupid like WHAT YOU WERE JUST DOIN' A SECOND AGO, I'll take my info and get the hell on outta dodge!" For now. Her diaphragm contracted in the effort to withhold THAT particular snickering giggle.
"'sides! I don't think the boss lady up at the ol' Eye Oh Dubble-Yoo would appreciate you takin' out 'er newest 'paragon of not making things boring!!' Just think o'all the Summoners who'd miss out on gettin' ta play with me!" Her knees bent as she prepared to bolt in the event that her words fell on deaf ears, but her smile never lessened. The game was still far too much fun to play. "Whaddya say?"

Garth watched another bullet hit Fishbones, and send Jinx spinning around before she regained her footing. Caitlyn then revealed herself claiming that Jinx was sentenced to death. The Sheriff's apprentice's mouth nearly dropped at that statement. It was clear that she was serious about this, but Garth could not believe how his role-model had changed. She was always calm and collected, and she never sentenced any criminal to death before. That wasn't the Caitlyn he knew, and admired. She always had the plan and knew how to handle the situation, but this was completely off the handle. He recovered from his shock after a moment, his rifle was still aimed at Jinx, he had a shot. Could he take it? Could he take a human life? He placed his finger on the trigger, and took a deep breath. This was it....he was going to pull the trigger, and quite possibly take a life. He could feel a bead of sweet make its way down his forehead, he aimed for Jinx's back aiming specifically for the heart. Jinx deserved this, she had harmed many and caused much destruction. He could hear his heart beat in his chest. If he didn't do this now....Caitlyn would be in danger, and if she died....then it would be all his fault for not pulling the trigger and taking out Jinx. His heart pounded against his chest. 'Do it! What are you waiting for! Do it!' his mind demanded, these demands clashed with the sound of his heartbeat. Finally there was a moment of silence in both his mind and heart....
No gunshot rang out, as he removed his finger from the trigger. For some odd reason he could not do it, perhaps it was his youthful idealism or his naivety. However, something he could do was help this civilian that was crawling toward him. He could save a life, but for now he could not take one. No matter how evil that life was. Garth moved toward Nathan, noticing the man's badly injured arm. The young man slung the rifle around his shoulder, and drew a standard issue side-arm. Keeping that aimed at Jinx, he would bend down and help the civilian up to his feet. He placed the man's good arm on his shoulders, and was now a slight crutch for the man. Garth's right arm went around the man's back to help keep the civilian secure, while his sidearm remained aimed at Jinx. He would whisper to the civilian, "Alright, how fast can you move? The faster I get you help the better all of us are, can you run or not?" With that being said, Garth would begin to back up while facing Jinx. Hopefully this civilian could move relatively fast, given the situation.

Nathan weakly glances at his shoulder then at where he was shot, a large pool of blood marks where Nathan has landed.
..I..will be honest, I'm having.. a really hard time trying to remain conscious...My shoulder kind of has a big...hole in it.
Nathan studies his shoulder closer
that bullet...is a much...higher caliber round...then i have ever used or seen in a rifle... funny enough though...if I hadn't tried to dodge...that Jinx lady might have been taken out...along with my head...
Nathan spat out the last four words with an almost cold anger.

... Well that was a rather short journey; I didn't expect to get here this quick compared to before. I need to find that shop where I got my whetstones, it's been a looooong time. I'll start with this avenue, shouldn't be hard to ask people, unless they're one of those Noxians assassins or mercenaries... The city looks pretty nice today; Sunshine, good weather and temperature, everyone's smiling! It's nice to visit the city, though I'm not a fan of living there, gotta be honest.
Hm, I guess that's the shop I'm looking for. Good timing, I was getting hung- Aaron was cut short by the sound of the gunshots echoing between the buildings of the City of Progress. He looked around him, holding onto Ebonite. That doesn't sound good at all... Maybe someone's in trouble, I should go check it out... Aaron started running towards the location where the second gunshot rang out from. A few minutes later, he arrived at the scene.
What the hell are these two doing here? Why are they holding those weird guns? And most of all... Who are they?! I'll just duck behind this car and watch the scene carefully, I have to keep a low profile if I don't want anyone to notice me... As he analysed the scene, his eyes glanced at the pool of blood. Wait a second, is that blood? Oh my... someone got shot... Urgh, I would've went out and helped him but I am not sure whether it's safe to be here or not... I'll just stay here and make sure no one else beside these two gets hurt. Aaron remained behind the car and watched the scene, staying aware of his surroundings and making sure no one is after him. He grabbed his hood and dragged it above his head.
