"What have you done with them? Listen, let them go. I brought them here. It's me you want." Caitlyn begged while Vi and (Y/N) listened just behind the doorway, smiling.
"An Enforcer that cares, wow." (Y/N) said quietly to Vi, "I know right?" she replied before both of them decided to walk out, revealing themselves to her.
"Our hero." Vi chuckled as she leaned on the door frame with (Y/N) standing behind her. "But I thought you... I thought they were hurting you!" Caitlyn yelled at Vi while Ekko stared her down.
"They said that I can trust you. You get a pass back topside, that's it." Ekko told her as he walked off, "Let's go, Ms Kiramman." (Y/N) mocked her jokingly as Caitlyn followed them, "How did you know?"
"You're not the only one from Piltower. And I overheard one of the doctors saying "It's Mrs Kiramman's daughter." before I left the hospital." (Y/N) explained as they got to the ground floor. Caitlyn looked around, seeing the big tree and the people living in peace there. "It's beautiful." 
Ekko: "If your people had your way, it'd be rubble and ash."
Caitlyn: "It's a misunderstanding. They think you work for Silco."
"Your people hunt us like animals. Silco pays them to do it." Ekko said as he walked towards Caitlyn. (Y/N) holds him back with his arm before Ekko throws his arm down but stops in his tracks. 
Caitlyn was confused by what he said, thinking about what he meant by that. "That's not possible. You're wrong."
"Say that one more time..." Ekko threatened her as he continued marching towards Caitlyn. Vi quickly got between Caitlyn and pushed him back lightly, "Ekko, she believes what she's saying. She's not your enemy."
"Oh, yeah? Then what's this?" Ekko scoffed as he took out the gemstone, showing it to the three of them. "You got it. You have to let me take that back." Caitlyn said before he holds it tightly in his hands, away from her.
She can see the distrust in his eyes, "What is it?" Vi asked Caitlyn. "It's the thing Powder used in her bomb all those years ago but... it's more stable than before." (Y/N) replied.
Caitlyn: "It's a Gemstone. It was stolen during the attack. By your sister."
(Y/N): "The one where we first met?"
Vi: "You just forgot to mention that?"
Caitlyn: "With this, someone with the right knowledge could build... any Hextech device. If Enforcers are becoming more... aggressive, that's why."
Ekko held the gemstone in his hands, realising its potential. "We can beat Silco with this."
Caitlyn: "That won't solve things."
Ekko: "Easy for you to say. Your people aren't dying all around you."
Caitlyn: "Ekko, it's wrong what's been done to you. You'd be well within your rights to keep it. I couldn't blame you. But... if you do, this cycle of violence will never stop. This is our best shot at setting the record straight. This city needs healing. More than I ever realised. Please, let me help you."
Ekko was a bit adamant but eventually gave in, "You got a plan?"
Caitlyn: "I have a friend on the council. Let me take the Gemstone to him. He'll listen to me. Your people wouldn't have to hide anymore."
Ekko: "One condition. I'm the one who gives it to them."
Caitlyn: "Deal."
Ekko: "We'll leave at night."
