One more deal - Ky/Jins/Vy

It only toke a week for Brooklyn to appear a year older from the lack of seeing her for so long. Immediately little feet thud against the wooden floor and patter through the living room, turn the corner and brighten immensely at the sight of her mother. "Mama!" She screams and throws her petite arms around Vy's legs, nearly tripping her to the floor with one of knees still very sore. It's all worth it though and she automatically picks up the small toddler to embrace her very missed company. Does she have to go back? The biggest torture was the little one's absence.

"Hi baby girl." Vy's tough career ego goes down the drain while in the security of her home with only the baby around. A scream rumbles through the household and completely startles her. It's very familiar though it's no one she knows, and with the noises that follow it's the stupid T.V. "Where's Brittany?" She questions knowing that a two year old can easily comprehend that. With the little one settled on her hip she goes off in search for that horrible woman, just to find a completely empty living that has the current hunger games airing. Before anything else she turns off the horror that Brooklyn should never be watching.

"How have you been Brookie?" Vy asks with her sweet voice escaping as it usually does when directed towards her kid. Despite the lack of knowing where Brittany is, and who's been watching the little one all of this time, what's more important is making sure that Brooklyn's been treated perfectly. She doesn't miss a spot as she searches the little person over completely and even three times again. Nothing but the common scratch that any active toddler achieves on a daily. With a heavy sigh a bit of relief is given to Vy as her own mother's been treating her kid much differently. The only concern is the dryness and redness within her bright blue eyes. Way too much television, though that wouldn't be bad if she didn't catch the one show, that's banned from Brooklyn's mind, blasted on.

"Is the failure finally home?" Brittany's voice spreads through the home, causing Vy's face to turn cold despite the innocent face in front of her. Well at least Brooklyn wasn't left unattended. Returning Brooklyn back to her hip she joins the witch in kitchen.

"Why was the games on?" Vy's voice is very stern as she doesn't even bother with a greeting.

"Guess Brooklyn figured out the remote."

"You should be playing closer attention to her, she's only two!" Her voice raises with anger though stays reasonable as Brooklyn's still hanging on her side.

"I have no help! Send her to daycare or something!" Of course Brittany's complaining as if she's not used to waisting all of her time on a little kid.

"It's more work to train a little kid everyday and you're having trouble making sure she sticks to cartoons and play outside a little?" Vy's just unable to understand as Brittany's just the laziest person in this district. "Whatever, I'll try to find you some help. Till then, enjoy your day off." She doesn't give her mother a second to reply as she bolts out of the kitchen. The joys of having a two year old is that her baby-bag has slimmed down greatly. With responsibility out of the way she exits with the little one still dangling from her hip.

Career's don't go to the park, and if by some chance they do, Vy no longer cares. Seems like everyone assumes that she has a little sister now, she can just continue using that. Spending some time with Brooklyn is just what she needs though, and the house is no place to have fun. "Down." Brooklyn requests as she grows antsy from the her constant need of movement. Being held or sitting for too long doesn't really work for her. Instead of running off once she's given the freedom, her little fingers wrap around two of Vy's as she runs in order to keep up with her mother's larger steps. For the millionth time her heart melts from how adorable Brooklyn can be, and the sweets things she pulls off without even realizing.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" The voice is surprisingly familiar in a personal way for Vy, and even if it wasn't she's unable to not rush towards the sound. In an instant Brooklyn's back upon Vy's hip and bouncing away as she goes off into a jog to figure out what was going on. Just around the corner of the park's gym and she's faced with a typical make-out scene, though once her eyes focus upon the event it's not typical at all. By the looks of it the female's clearly struggling against his grip and not enjoying the kissing in the least bit.

Without a second thought Vy's shifting Brooklyn over to her right side to use her dominant hand to yank away the guy and deliver a straight punch his nose before even calculating what was going on. A good hit is to never be missed though. And apparently Kyanite was right as Vy finds twice as much power racing through her with the little one attached to her. Just as she internally jokes about the fact her eyes go to survey the female and she unexpectedly finds Kyanite. Well at least she won't have to go through an explanation of who Brooklyn is. Though what's more important is the fact that some guy was forcing himself upon her, and she actually was unable to fight back. Vy's eyes return back over to the male, a death glare consuming her face.

Surprisingly a loud giggles comes from Brooklyn as she finds this all very entertaining. Way too much like her mother, even when that's the biggest thing she's trying to prevent. At least this doesn't scare her, though it does frighten Vy a little while it also makes her slightly proud. Conflicting feelings over it all. Currently she needs to concentrate on what's going on in front of her. "I swear if you make me put this baby down I will kill you." Vy decides to use the highest threat that she has. How dare he take advantage of a girl, and he's made the biggest mistake by picking the one that's holding a valuable secret. Her eyes stayed glued upon him without an ounce of hesitation.

What Vy's unable to understand is this guy's relation to Kyanite. Isn't she with Matthew? Not that they've ever been able to actually talk about it, as if they're even friends. It's all just an assumption. Still whom ever this person is, Ky clearly doesn't desire having him being around. And despite their lack of a true friendship, protection mode radiates from Vy as she faces this mystery man with a lack of fear. For all he knows it's only some random female sticking up for another, though his words now say otherwise. Baby mama? Now that is certainly a new one that Vy completely doesn't want. As if he's going to actually take care of her, please.

By the looks upon Kyanite this guy is clearly not wanted and has harmed her in some way as she rests herself upon her knees and the wall. What the hell is this guy saying? As if he was really wanted around her and doing her a favor. "Just back off buddy." Vy suggests because apparently he wants to take care of her. Yeah right, not even in his dreams. As if some punk is actually going to take her on when she's taken down the toughest careers out there. This guy's nothing compared to her. Avoiding getting into a fight in front of Brooklyn's her main priority, though putting a guy in his place she's willing to make an exception for.

Despite everything he pushes on though and eggs Vy to put down Brooklyn, that she shouldn't be held back and even adds in baby mama again. How she hates the fact that he assumes that and uses it against her. Did Kyanite tell him? No, she didn't tell Matthew or her brother, why this jerk? "You sure you want me to do that?" Vy gives him a second warning as she keeps Brooklyn locked in her arms. Fighting in front of her kid's is to be avoided, but she may have to break that rule for this occasion.

Of course Kyanite has to chime in by demanding for Jins to leave Vy out of this and demand for her to go away. As if it'd be that easy. Good to know his name though. So these two have some background obviously. "Yeah right Kyanite." Vy's eyes dart back to Ky with disbelieve that she'd really push help away right now. Clearly this jerk needs to be taught a lesson. His status goes to the biggest ass hole out there as he takes an opportunity to smash his foot into her only good knee, with a toddler in her arms and all. Despite the lack of wanting to get violent in front of Brooklyn, she is grateful that the little one's presences forces Vy to stay completely balanced as all her weight's pushed onto her broken knee to aid the other.

Now a demand to place the kid down is given sternly, and though it seems impossible Vy's face turns even more furious. "Go to Ky, Brooklyn." She allows the little one to slide off of her, and just as directed the rugrat stumbles over to the other female present. "I warned you." Her voice is as deadly as her expression and her eyes never leave Jins or every small inch that he makes.

"Ky Ky." Brooklyn greets with open arms as she hugs onto Kyanite as if they've been friends since she was born. The giggles from before are no where to be seen as even her innocent mind is able to understand that something bad was going down.

Without a moment of hesitation Vy swings her fists towards her newly found enemy, aiming for his neck though she's settled with a nice punch to his collar bone. That's sure to knock a bit of wind out of him, hopefully enough to scare him off. As much as beating this guy till he's knocked unconscious sounds like fun, Vy wouldn't dare do such a thing in front of Brooklyn. "Now back off!" If she has to she will though.

"Hi, Brookie. Be a good girl.., okay? Ky-ky will protect you." A smile forms on Vy's lips as she hears these reassuring words from Kyanite. One small glance and the small toddler is wrapped securely in her arms, and she even takes the initiative to make sure the young eyes are averted away from the fight. She'll make sure to thank her later over the smart instincts, though kicking this guy's ass may be thanks enough. Perfect, now that that's taken care of. Vy's full attention returns back to Jins with full certainty that Brooklyn's under the best protection with Ky. With the innocent one looking elsewhere and the adrenalin of having her around, the blonde gives plenty of force behind a punch that he's hardly able to dodge from. Still successful as he hurls over to catch his breath.

How easy it would be to smash her foot into face right now, he already has a sore nose. But even the smallest chance of Brooklyn witnessing that prevents Vy from making such a move. One more chance for him to leave, she's feeling a little kind today. Instead his eyes peer up with that sickening look, he's the type that's thirsty for blood. Damn, what did Kyanite get herself into with this dude? At least this guy is a twig compared to the majority of guys in this district, though he certainly holds that expression of being the violent type. Those can be even more dangerous then the buff and bulky careers out there, though Vy's certain she can handle whatever comes in her.

Seems like every asset's a liability and vice-versa, because with all the strength running throughout Vy due to Brooklyn being here, great concern fills her as well. "It's okay Brookie." Once again Kyanite's voice pulls her attention away. What's wrong with Brooklyn? Her eyes leave the devil's glare as they to check on the two a decent distances away. The little one's struggling a little to get a glimpse at what's going on, but Ky's doing an amazing job at soothing her. Just a second is enough time for Jins to grab a hold of Vy's left arm and pull it around to her back, yanking away as if threatening to break it like a stick.

"Language!" Vy scolds, gritting her teeth as if to clench back the stirring pain going through her arm. Damn, so he's been paying attention to her dominant hand. Or maybe he's just lucky. Either way she talks about Kyanite calling the guy an ass instead of telling him off. His grip is tight and he has no concern over how dangerously he pulls. This guy has some serious problems as he clearly plays by nor rules, not even the underground ones. Not like Vy could really judge him for that, well for the except of a child being around!

Despite her hatred towards her mother, she is thankful for the intense training. It toke quite a few dislocated shoulders to figure out the proper way to get away from tough grasps, but by the time Vy was fifteen she has aced any trap. "I will kill both of you if you try to get in between me and Kyanite again." His voice is disturbing though nonthreatening to her. She'll make sure to get in between them again, just no with Brooklyn present. For now, well he does loosen his grip as she appears to shrug an agreement to his demand. Of course she doesn't end a fight that easily though. Once he puts his guard down for a second, she has her dominant hand free and digging into Jins's neck after shoving him against the wall.

Even if the height difference is as it always is, Vy's completely capable of getting her forearm into a nice tender spot. Just for a moment she digs with no remorse over the damage she may cause. A couple of seconds of him gasping for air is needed. Her elbow digs down on the hand that was locked around her wrist, her free hand keeping down his other. "I'll kill you first." She promises, taking any threat towards her daughter and even Kyanite completely seriously. Just wait until she has the official title of peacekeeper, he'll be first on her list. "Now get out of my sight." Might as well let him breath now, so she finally loosens her grip and gives a firm push away from them, despite the soreness now radiating through her good arm.

The violence is going to stop as Jins is clearly struggling to get a half of his breathe once again. A proud grin spreads across Vy's face just as it always does when satisfied with a fight. Exactly what she wanted, put this guy in his place without getting too messy in front of the youngster. She shakes away at her left hand, knowing that she's going to need it for the academy, but it's luckily only a little bruised up. By the time monday comes around it'll be hardly sore unlike her knee. Instead of simply running off Jins has to give off one last comment of how strong Vy is, though she's not his type. How many times has she heard that before? As if it phases her one bit. A chuckle escapes as she rolls her eyes. Doesn't this guy know when to just quit it?

Just as things are about to finally end, Jins unexpectedly goes in for another attack as she rams Vy backwards with all of his might. The surprise catches her off guard as she gets taken a couple of feet and thrown to her back. Everything goes foggy for a moment before panic mood kicks in. Where's Brooklyn? The trip gave Vy a nice bump to the head, but nothing she's not used to. In less then a second she's sitting up just to catch a glimpse of Jins being way too close to the two people she's currently protecting. He steals an unwanted kiss from Kyanite before dashing off as she jumps back to her feet. This guy is far from alright in her book. There's such an instinct to dash after him, but one glance over at Ky and Brooklyn prevents her from doing so.

As much as she her feet want to carry her off in his direction, they automatically dart over to the two still curled up on the ground. "Are you girls okay?" Vy adds in how Kyanite is without even considering it. The pain within her healing knee has completely vanished as concern over them take over as she kneels down beside them. To no surprise Brooklyn is hating her restraint and whining to get free of the protection her mother is so grateful she had during this event. Still making sure that the little one is unharmed is her first priority. She offers her arms the rugrat to embrace her in a tight squeeze once Kyanite's able to relax from what had just happened.

"Thank you." Despite the fact that Vy was the one trying to help, she has to show her gratitude towards Kyanite's perfect reactions when given Brooklyn. Luckily the little one doesn't require running around as she clings to mother's hip, only needing a little more freedom with only one hand grasping her. "Are you okay?" She repeats her question but directs it to only Kyanite. Whatever just occurred was not good, and by the sounds of it this isn't a new enemy. "Who was that Kyanite?" Though she's not once to pry for information, she does feel the need to know. If this guy's causing her trouble, well maybe she can help.

"Come on I promised Brooklyn we'd go to the park." Vy doesn't bother asking Kyanite to join her as she assumes that they now have someone else for company. Plus it looks like Kyanite needs some help this time, and Vy needs a favor of her own.

Whom ever this Jins guy is must have a real power over Kyanite as she stays startle over the entire incident. Obviously they have some history, though Vy is unsure of how long or what it actually contains. Still it keeps Ky completely silent throughout all of her questions. Damn curiosity as she now only has more of a need to know and urge to go beat this dude. The way that she's balled up against the wall brings sympathy to Vy as she's able to relate to that. Staying strong while faced with them because that's what has to get done, but once they're gone it's all over. She's crumbling to the ground defeated, and this is not the Kyanite that she first met. Suddenly she finds care to someone aside from Brooklyn, talk about a true first.

Not wanting to talk about it is understandable, and Vy doesn't push it as she puts a reassuring hand on Kyanite's shoulder. There's clearly a lot to this story that she's not going to just cough up. Lucky for her she doesn't have a nurse or a mother giving away all of her secrets. Even still Vy assumes that Ky will be joining them at the park, though she's truly insisting on making sure that the creep is out of here before she lets her go. It's best not to seem kind, though it's all of a sudden coming out whether she likes it or not.

An apology spills from Kyanite after she expresses her desire of not causing any more trouble. Why does this only make Vy feel more of a need to make sure that this ass hole won't be messing with the Brunette? With a sign, a grin, and a small shake of her head she gestures Ky's lack of need for her apology. "Don't be." After all Vy's going to need something in return though she's not going to say that right away. Of course that wasn't the reason to helping out, but it sure as hell is good timing. "I'm just glad that I ran into you." The fact that this kindness is coming naturally disturbs her, still she runs with it. "Come on." She insists on her joining them at the park. She retrieves to her feet with the little one of course upon her hip, and she evens offers a hand to help Kyanite up. The joys of being strong, she can punch someone or pull someone up with a baby on her.

There's a high desire from Kyanite to get away from the scene as if it'll erase it from ever happening. Once again Vy understands. "Yeah of course." She puts a secure hand on Ky's back to gently pull her away from everything. It remains quiet for a bit as she's able to tell that now's not the time to push for information. Apparently a quiet park is what she needs. Despite the tough demeanor always consuming Vy her expression remains slightly concerned and sweet as they walk away. Maybe it's Brooklyn, or maybe she actually found someone else that managed to get to her soft side.

The park is only a short walk away and the first sight has Brooklyn wiggling and whining to get down. After a good scan through the area Vy allows the little one to once again slide down her side and run off to the park. "He went off in the opposite directions." She feels the need to clarify her reasoning for letting the rugrat go, though her eyes don't leave the munchkin for a second. "Think he'll be returning?" Most likely Kyanite knows, and though she's probably not up to talking about Jins right now it's needed for that.

"Kyanite, you need to tell me about him eventually, but you don't have to right now." Vy's mother mode kicks in as she doesn't leave an option. "Because I need something in return." Why not just come straight out with the truth since they've been discovering them a lot lately for strangers. "Not unless I have something to offer you though, I can protect you from him..." She's dealt with so many scary careers before this guy's nothing but a crazy basket case, though those tend to be the worst. "Think you could check up on Brooklyn while I'm gone?" The little one climbs up to the top of the playground to go down the slide with a bundle of giggles. Completely safe, but how will Vy know for sure while she's gone at the academy?

More often then not people have a certain pattern to their strategy, a routine almost. If Vy's assumption that this wasn't Kyanite's first bad encounter with Jins is right then she'll know if he'll be returning. Luckily he's not, though it's put into those horrible words of not today. So she was right about this being a regular occurrence. The real question is why Kyanite's unable to deal with him as she clearly gotten used to his undesired company. Even information on how that was very unlike Jins, and how he's never done that before, is given. Well clearly he's fought others before, just probably not in front of her.

A sort of sigh-chuckle escapes as she's unable to wrap her mind around everything going on. After all Kyanite had two guys hating Vy after their underground fight, yet they haven't beaten this guy to put him in his place? She just doesn't understand and feels a need to, and strangely a desire to help. If Ky is able to keep a hold of this secret for her, then she can scrap up her knuckles a little in return. It's hard for her to not turn down a fight to. "No one's ever punched him before?" She tries to lighten the mood a little, though the real question is whether anyone's ever pulled him off of her before. Yeah, the majority of the district two population are most certainly jerks that'll look the other way. That's another way she's able to relate as Brittany got her in and out of the home when it came to discipline.

Of course Kyanite denies the need for protection, claiming that it's only due to her arm and how she can usually handle him. Well that's bullshit. If she's able to handle him then why is he still around? One could say to take advantage of her crippled period, but Vy has a feeling this guy only works harder when Ky's in full health. It's the fear that she radiated, her stubbornness right now. Something that she doesn't want to share is going on, and too bad for her Vy's very hardheaded. Not to mention the addition of Brooklyn somehow taught her patients. Since Ky's lucky enough to not have a witch as a mother she'll just have to find out her secrets another way.

"Okay, then until your arm gets healed." Vy tries at compromising. "I was the one that broke it anyways." Wow, even taking responsibility. But Kyanite's just as stubborn as she reworks the deal some more. She'll watch over Brooklyn is she stays away from Jins. A small grin of agreement forms across Vy's face. So no directly searching for him, but if she just so happens to run into the guy...well they'll both be wanting some revenge probably, and for all she knows Jins will make the first move next time. No backing down from a fight, but she won't purposely go after him....

"Sure, why not." Vy vocalizes the agreement because in the long run she's getting what she needs; someone to check up on Brooklyn. "And I'm asking you because you know how to protect her." Why not show a little more kindness? Ky deserves to know how grateful Vy is for her smart and fast motives, even if she was the reason they were put in that position. "Just make sure you stay somewhere populated. If you run into Jins with her someone will help you." She's certain about this as anyone would watch someone get beaten to death on the streets, but if a baby's involved they'll actually do something.

Just like usual Brooklyn has to misbehave and go down the slide backwards though Vy's told her every time to go feet first, and despite only being two she does understand. "Feet first Brooklyn." Vy's eyes haven't left the rugrat since she left her hip. Of course she only giggles loudly as she begins to go down the wrong way anyways; her young way of demanding attention and someone to play with. "One second..." She sighs as she races over to the bottom of the slide, her legs blocking Brooklyn's ability to fly off. "I said feet first." Her voice lacks any form of anger as she only tickles the little one as she reaches the bottom. Only for a second though because she does have to prove her point of not doing that. Still every time it happens, but that's how it is.

"Feet first." Lots of repetition as Vy lifts up Brooklyn to place her on the top of the slide in the proper sitting position that she should be in. The little one nods and giggles some more as she goes down for the hundredth time.

"For someone that has it handled that's an awfully long time." Vy doesn't forget where she rudely cut off Kyanite to be a mother, so she jumps right back to the conversation. "You were saying." Once she gets comfortable on bench Brooklyn's already attempting at going down backwards again. With a sigh she doesn't budge from her seat this time. "She has to learn..." She explains softly at one of Kyanite's pauses. The little one plummets into the sand and immediately begins cry. "Sorry, you'll get used to it." Again she retrieves to her feet and rushes over to Brooklyn's side to scoop her up. Guess it's time for a break.

"No more interruptions." Vy urges Kyanite to continue as she sits back down on the bench with the little one now in her lap. The sniffles consume the baby as her mother's gently shakes her blond locks to rid of all the sand. "You'll be okay." She reassures and gives her a kiss on the top of her head.

"Thanks...I'll make sure to tell Brittany." Vy allows a sincere smile to form as she does have full faith that Kyanite will make sure Brooklyn's taken care of and safe. They hardly know each other, yet after the hospital and today she's certain that the right person's been found. Just a feeling or an instinct, though it's easy to see that the little one's already warmed her way into another heart. And now Vy's able to return to the academy with full comfort in knowing someone she's able to trust will be checking up on the rugrat. She's not even going to question how this has all formed.

For a brief moment when Vy returns from her mother duties Kyanite has a chance to give a little information on how Jins is. She agrees that it's been a long time and explains how he simply doesn't get when enough is enough, along with how hardheaded he is with his inability to listen. Those are all normal fault for anyone to have, but it's clear that he brings it past the next levels and to the extreme. As much as Vy's enjoying the almost-normal conversation her life task never gives a break as she has to give all of her attention to Brooklyn one again when she flies down the slide backwards after being told not to. For once interrupting someone makes her feel guilty though this time it's actually necessary.

Thankfully Kyanite jumps back into the conversation and actually confesses up a nice little story. It sounds just like a typical bully as his negative attention towards her grew a bit more violent every year. He probably has some creepy crush upon her that he won't let go of, even after all these years. A pause happens as she's about to share what happened when she was eight. It's clear that she's trying to figure out what to say as Vy was faced with a few of those moments during their time sharing a hospital room. Telling the truth without giving some things away, yet another thing she's able to relate to and understand. She doesn't bother calling her out on it as they're both keeping away certain things while surprisingly sharing the rest. Back to when they were eight.

A light and short chuckle escapes as Vy's prediction of the weird crush is vocalized because Jins asked Kyanite to be his girlfriend. Sounds about right with the odd boy that's unable to express his feelings and get the girl resulting to torturing her instead. "Just about that." Vy comments during her pause after question of what she expected. That's how little kids are, though this has pushed past that as Kyanite's still dealing with his unwanted presence. The story continues on as things all grew worse after Ky turned ten, and surprisingly even more of the truth escapes as she shares that that was the year her mother died.

It's sickening to think that Jins actually taunted her over that fact that she lost her mother. Even heartless Vy wouldn't dare to do such a thing. That's when Kyanite became a career as well, and so did her stalker/bully. Well they've certainly been raised in completely different worlds. Still it's obvious that she was luckily pleased with a sweet mother as her face sinks at the news of her dying. Even with the lack of a mother that acts even close to that, Vy's heart sinks a little with sympathy as she's able to imagine what a mother is suppose to act like...that's how she's trying to be with Brooklyn. It has to be devastating to lose that gentle, kind person in one's life, not to mention getting teased about it.

"Yeah..." Vy's unsure how to take Kyanite's compliment on how lucky Brooklyn is to have her. Is she? Because in Vy's mind she's far from the ideal mother. But then again she must be better then no one. The only mother that's worse then being an orphan would have to be Brittany as she doesn't deserve that title in the least bit. There's no point in arguing with Ky, not even a desire to, as Vy finds herself understanding her yet again. Her entire life she's been avoiding any sort of friendship as Brittany taught her to only have a sarcastic, bad attitude that no one likes. Now she's actually understanding someone's life, this is all very odd.

A smile spreads to Vy's face to rid of her concerned expression as she watches Brooklyn's face lighten up at the offer to go play. Of course after a couple of minutes she has nearly forgotten all about her accident. "Pay?" The little one repeats as she's just starting to comprehend whole sentences and questions. She points over to the slide then to her head. "No boo-boos." She nods her head with a giant grin that brings out the dimples all chubby cheeks should have. The innocent face turns over to her mother with her eyebrows extending to her forehead, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Go play with Ky." Vy reassures and gives her a gentle pat on the back and another kiss another her precious baby head. Without another second of hesitation she scurries off of her lap.

As if the offer was going to be taken back if Brooklyn didn't show her high desire for a playmate, she grabs ahold of a couple of Kyanite's fingers on her unbraced hand and tugs away for her to come. "Side, Ky." She presses forward with a heavy grip, though her tiny weight's hardly enough to make Ky budge.
