TWO YEARS AGO, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION GOING BY THE NAME TEAM IMUM WRECKED CHAOS ACROSS THE LAND, DAMAGING CITIES AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS. While Imum itself has long since been disbanded, however, the region remains broken: entire towns have been laid to waste and the Association struggles to find homes for those who were lucky enough to survive the attempted genocide. Reconstruction trudges on as usual... but with three factions - the Association, the corporations, and the people - each wishing to take the rebuilding of an entire region down opposite paths, how long will it be before Lyeant's last leg gives out permanently?

Jaden chuckled as she was pushed through the double wide doors that led to the police headquarters. A soft hum passed through her lips as she tossed her bag to the secretary, threw her arms up and grinned.
"Ah, home sweet home."
The officer that brought her in grunted with distaste and forced her into a seat. Must have been a newbie. He didn't know how things ran between Jaden and the blues. Putting her arms behind her head, she wanted to watch everything plan out. First, he walked over and start complaining about how it took everything in his might to capture her after one of her 'schemes'. Then he went to the computer to put her in the system only to stop and stare bug-eyed.
"Whats wrong, little boy blue, cat got your tongue?"
The man's mouth was agape as he looked between the computer and her then back.
"Y-You're.. uhm.."
Well, this got boring fast but one last spurt wouldn't hurt.
"Kay, cupcake, lets get this show on the road. I wanna speak to Officer Riley Tuff. Yes, I know her name this isn't my first time here, ya creampuff. I've actually been here more times than I can count but Riley is the only one I wanna talk to so how about you go find her and get out before I make you see something you'll never forget."
The man stood to his feet hurriedly and ran off, Jaden sighed. These newbies needed to get with the program.
When she heard there was a young girl who had been extremely hard to capture disrespecting her detaining officer and throwing around her words like she owned the place, Riley sighed and grit her teeth. She was only going to need one guess as to who it was. Leaving the paperwork she had been filling out on her desk, Riley stood and stormed out of her office towards the front room of the station.
Once she spotted Jaden, sitting nonchalantly with her arms behind her head, Riley made a beeline for the young woman. "Come with me," she grunted, glaring around the station before leading Jaden back to her office. Closing the door behind them and shutting the blinds, she turned to face the young woman and crossed her arms.
"Dammit, Jaden! You can't keep doing this! I can't keep covering for you. It's gonna get me in huge trouble one of these days." Riley sighed, moving behind her desk and sitting in her chair. She motioned for Jaden to do the same in the chair in front of the desk. "What did you do this time?" She demanded, her words emphasizing her weariness with Jaden's repeated offenses.
She had to admit most of the reason why she got in trouble was so that she could annoy Riley. But all she wanted to do was see her? Was that so bad? Rolling her eyes, she put her arms behind her head and leaned back before tilting her head to the side. Riley would have been a lot cuter if she smiled a lot more often. What was she spilling about now? There were times when she talked that Jaden seemed to zone out and she knew if she didn't zone in sooner or later, she'd end up missing it.
"I kinda sorta destroyed a parking meter."
Okay, in her defense that old lady was literally hassling her for a quarter to put in the machine. When she refused, the lady threw a fit and smacked her ice cream sundae out of her hand. Now, you could mess with her as much as you want but when it came to the ice cream - that was war. So she destroyed the parking meter to show the lady that she meant business and got caught.
The chase that followed was a rather speedy one and she was racing everywhere having a joy. Jumping from things, swinging and rolling around and around. But she eventually stopped and let them have a breather only to start the chase again. It took quite a lot of men to catch her and when they did, she was already bored and reading a comic book in the park.
"Besides that, it wasn't all that bad. I'll pay for what I did, and we'll be fine. That old lady is going to be scarred though."
Somewhat luckily for Jaden, Riley did not see the young woman roll her eyes. She did, however, take note of her carefree attitude and grimaced again. "...you destroyed a parking meter," she repeated, stifling a groan and resting her forehead in her hand. "...and scarred an old woman? I hope, for your sake, that you don't mean literally."
Riley grumbled something that sounded like 'damn right you'll pay for it' under her breath as she pulled open a drawer on her desk, skimming through the many folders within before withdrawing a rather thick one and placing it in front of her. It was a file Jaden had probably seen many times before; after all, it had her name on it.
Opening Jaden's file, Riley pulled a few empty police report sheets from a separate pile on her desk and set to work filling them out. After a few minutes of silence, save for the scratching of pen on paper, she stopped writing and looked back up at Jaden, her frown turning upwards into a grin.
"You really destroyed a parking meter?" She asked, shaking her head slowly, though she was still smiling at the absurdity of it. "What in the world possessed you to do that?"
Some people would say that it was rather troubling that she found a police station to be her second home. However, being with Riley was almost like being with her own family. No matter how many times she shook her head or gave her a lecture, Jaden grinned nonetheless and laughed. She loved to hear Riley get riled up. She was always so fun to be around and distracted her from the daily things.
Now, going back to that lady - it was war. That ice cream sundae was the highlight of her day. After being harassed by teachers for schoolwork, dealing with annoying kids, and resisting the urge to uproot the ice cream stand - she just wanted to go to her room and relax. But then that lady just had to get in her way and knock over her ice cream. The second that the frozen treat touched the ground it was war.
Her fingers curled into fists and her lips quirked from time to time. Then she finally let out a bit of laughter before she ended up destroying the parking meter. She felt oddly satisfied when the woman was freaking out, even better when her car was towed. A soft sigh came and she raised her hands.
"Look, the lady had it coming to her. She messed with my sweets and you know how I get when my baby is in danger."
