In this Alternate Universe, the heist never happened because Little Man never gave the group that one tip that created the events of Arcane as we know it. Instead in this universe, everyone got to live, Silco is still trying to punish Topside for everything and Vander is still trying to keep everything under control. Mylo and Claggor are still alive, Powder is still Powder but now older and less crazy, although she is still clumsy. Violet is now 19 and still likes to go on heists, as the situation in The Lanes is still as bad as it ever was. She is also Bisexual, that may be fun for everyone. You are her former partner, (boyfriend or girlfriend, you choose). Things ended badly after a certain gig and it caused a massive argument, causing you to break up but you're still part of the team.
After another heist, one that nearly went wrong and got Powder killed because she fell off the roof, Mylo was digging into her. Calling her names and mentioning that after all these years, she is still as clumsy as ever and can't handle a gig to save her life. Claggor keeps out of it, wanting no business with this. Meanwhile Vi was fed up and told him to shut up and so the entire conversation turned hostile fast, both sides shouting loudly. And you tried to de-escalate the situation. "Guys, come on, we're not twelve anymore, are we really fighting over this?" "Oh yeah, you're still here too! I don't know why Vi keeps you around after dumping you!" Mylo shouted to you now, hearing him say it like that made you feel... unwanted. "Don't bring them into this! At least they're not making a big deal out of nothing!" Vi retorted, she hated that Mylo said it like that because deep down, she still cared about you.
After an hour of this shouting, Vander came down and told everyone to keep it down, that even the customers could overhear them. You decided to leave and go... well... you can't go home because you have no home, you live on the streets. So you went to your favorite rooftop, where you often slept as well, when you weren't out and about with the gang. As you overlook the city, you legs dangling off the edge, you feel someone sitting right next to you and when you turned your head to see who it was, it was Vi.
"Hey... mind if I join you?"
