Jinx moved quietly through the apartment, pulling open drawers and cabinets as she gathered what she needed.

A few changes of clothes.

Her weapons.

A handful of supplies.

Anything she thought she might need on the road.

She stopped for a moment and looked around the apartment.

The place was still theirs.

Catra's things were still scattered around. The dolls still sat where Gamora had helped arrange them. Their lives were still here.

And the party was coming.

Jinx looked toward the door.

She didn't think she wanted to stay for it.

Everyone was celebrating. Thanos was dead. Piltover was rebuilding. For once, everyone had something to be happy about.

Jinx just wanted to go.

Somewhere far away.

Far, far away.

She set her bag down and sat at the edge of the bed.

Her thoughts turned to Catra.

Jinx reached for a piece of paper and a pen.

She began writing.

When she finished, she folded the letter and wrapped it carefully before placing it on the bed where Catra would find it.

Jinx picked up her bag.

She looked at the letter one last time.

Then she walked out.

—————

The airship port was busy.

Passengers moved between platforms while cargo crews loaded supplies onto waiting airships.

Jinx kept her head down as she walked toward the nearest departure platform.

She checked her ticket.

Bilgewater.

She stepped aboard.

The ramp closed behind her.

A few moments later, the engines began to hum.

The airship lifted from the platform and slowly pulled away from Piltover.

Jinx stood near one of the windows.

She looked back.

Piltover stretched beneath her.

Parts of the city were still damaged from the invasion, but reconstruction had already begun. Workers moved through the streets. Buildings were being repaired. New structures rose beside the ruins.

Jinx watched the city grow smaller.

She smiled.

For once, she wasn't leaving because someone was chasing her.

She was leaving because she wanted to find somewhere else.

The airship turned toward the horizon.

Jinx looked forward.

Bilgewater was waiting.

Far away.
