Work Text:
It was early morning, Caitlyn Kiramman was sleeping in the back of her research van, two of her friends were in the front seats while Jayce and another friend were in the truck that hauls their equipment. Caitlyn wakes up and stumbled out of the fan to the brisk cool air of Oklahoma. They were parked on a hill, so she can see land for miles, her eyes sees a supercell, a storm formation that forms tornadoes, in the distance. She smiles as she started to wake up her friends.
"Guys, get up! Supercede forming to the west!" Caitlyn would yell out as she banged on the doors of the van and truck
"I would say five more minutes, but I know you. You want to chase the storm of a lifetime." Jayce would say as he got up, putting a hot cheeto in his mouth
Caitlyn would be getting the equipment ready as everyone else was still waking up. They were out here to get grant money, so everything has to be in working order. She turned her head as thunder went off in the distance, the storm was really picking up. Once everyone was up and ready, equipment in working order, and the cars are ready to go, Jayce would drive the van that held the monitoring equipment while Caitlyn was in the car with her friends. After ten minutes of driving, Jayce would setup on the side of the road while Caitlyn and the others drove into the storm. Jayce was riding on modular Dorothy device to work while Caitlyn had a chemical mixture that she is sure will 'tame the tornado'. Jayce was sitting in the back of the van where the equipment was and with the doors open when his laptop picked up circular wind formations in the middle of the storm. This was the tornado they were hoping for. Jayce would get on the radio to tell Caitlyn and the others.
"We got formation! Keep an eye out for funnel formations." Jayce said over the radio
After a few minutes, Caitlyn and her friends were now in the center of the storm where it was the most calm. All they could hear was the truck, the trailer in the back, and the rain hitting against the truck. Caitlyn sat in the front passenger seat and kept looking around at the surrounding area for funnel formations, but nothing yet. As they were still driving, hail the size of golf balls hit the windshield and cracked it, startling Caitlyn and her friends. A few more started to fall then a lot more, then the wind started to pick up, causing nearby grass to be pulled in one direction.
"Uh guys, we got formation on the radar. Set the trailer down and get out of there!" Jayce would say over the radio
As Caitlyn's friend continued to drive, a large peice of debris hit the trailer and tipped it on it's side. The truck stopped as Caitlyn got out to flip it and unhook it from the truck, her friends got out to help her. After flipping the trailer onto it's wheels and unhooked it from the truck, they got back in and drove as fast as they could. Caitlyn looks back to see it get rain wrapped. Now they needed to get out of there as soon as possible.
"Jayce, we dropped the trailer and it became rain wrapped. Is it working?" Caitlyn would ask over the radio
"Yep! It's climbing. 10...20....30. Caitlyn, I think we did it!" Jayce said excitedly over the radio
"The storm should be stopping. Why isn't stopping?" Caitlyn said worried
As this was happening, the chemical solution was rising higher and higher but the storm isn't dying. This is where it comes to realization that the the tornado goes from EF-1 status to EF-5 status. This was bad as the wind picked up and debris started hitting the truck, causing it to veer off the road into a ditch. Caitlyn and her friends look behind them as the large tornado was now in view. One of her friends points out an overhead bridge.
"That is the worst place to go during a Tornado." Caitlyn said to her friend
Caitlyn and her friends get out of the truck then starts running towards the bridge as the tornado sucks up the truck. Caitlyn and two of her friends make it to the bridge while the third friend gets sucked up by the tornado. Caitlyn and her other friends start climbing up, but one of her friends slips and falls back. She is then caught by debris. Caitlyn screams out ad she continued to climb. Caitlyn is cut on the leg as she lays down in the bridge support beam. Her friend told her it would be ok and that they will make it out of the storm. That is when he was sucked up by the tornado. Caitlyn cried out as she holds onto the metal support for dear life.
Hours later, a dirty and bloody Caitlyn would walk along the the street. It was completely covered by debris. All that can be heard is Caitlyn dragging her feet and the whimpering coming from her mouth. As she was walking, a state trooper cruiser drove up and stop before her, she would pass out as the officers run over. She was safe, but at what cost.

5 years later || New York City
Years have passed. Caitlyn was wearing a flashing formal suit as she rode the tram. That day five years ago still haunts. She had just had a nightmare that morning about it, but she is trying to put it all behind her. Caitlyn was now the head researcher at the National Weather Service building in New York City. As she was walking to her office, someone told Caitlyn that there was someone in the conference room waiting to talk with her. She sighed and started walking to the conference room and opened the door.
"Hello sir, I'm Caitlyn. I didn't catch your–" As Caitlyn turned and close the door, she turned back around to see her best friend Jayce
"Hey Caitlyn." Jayce said, hair combed back as he wore a black suit and tie
"Jayce.." Caitlyn said, smiling finally after what seemed like years
About half an hour later, Caitlyn and Jayce would be sitting in a cafe, reminiscening the old memories. They would occasionally laugh between talking and biting food.
"What have you been doing for five years, Jayce?" Caitlyn would ask him
"Joined the military, deployed a few times." Jayce would say before sipping his water
"Wow, impressive. I'd never expect that from you." Caitlyn said, laughing a bit
"Says you, miss big shot. Working for the NWS. It is a good gig." Jayce said to her, smiling
"Yeah, I know I'm pretty great." Caitlyn said before giggling softly
"I've actually started my own weather group called StormPar. Caitlyn, I think we can get our old project off the ground." Jayce grabbed a few butter containers, set them up around his glass and spun the water with his spoon "We have portable radars that can get accurate 3D measurements of a Tornado. I just need you there with me." He said, looking at her
"That's– amazing, but why me?" Caitlyn would ask him
"You just have a sixth sense for these things. I leave for Oklahoma in two days, ok?" Jayce would get up, putting a hand on her shoulder
"I will...think about it." Caitlyn said as she gave a small smile
Jayce would smile as he walked out of the cafe. Caitlyn would look back as he walked, never thought that she would have to think about going back there, except for seeing her mom. She lost three of her friends that day, so Jayce mentioning Oklahoma and that he needs her Tornado knowledge brought up the bad memories again. Caitlyn didn't want to go back, Jayce needs her.

2 days later || Orienta, north of Fairview, Oklahoma
Jayce was driving one of his StormPar trucks to a nearby rest stop while Caitlyn was sitting in the passenger seat, taking in the familiar scenery. She smiles, but the bad memories are still in the back of her mind. Jayce would pull up to the rest stop that the rest of StormPar is currently at, along with other people that chase storms. Caitlyn and Jayce would get out of the truck and walk around.
"This place is busy. Are they also chasing the storm?" Caitlyn would ask Jayce
"Everyone with a camera and a team is here." Viktor said, walking up to Jayce and Caitlyn
"Ah, you're here! Caitlyn, this is Viktor. He is my partner in StormPar, my right-hand man if you will. Viktor, this is Caitlyn. We worked together a couple of years ago." Jayce said as he introduced his friends to one another
"Good to meet you, Caitlyn." Viktor would say as he smiled at her
"Everyone listen up. This Caitlyn, and we only have her with us for a week to help us out." Jayce would say to everyone
"Anyone with a weather app is here." Viktor said to the group
Jayce and Viktor would introduce Caitlyn to the other members of StormPar. They were from all over the country and Jayce trusts them with his life. As they were talking, there was a honking noise. Caitlyn and Jayce turn around to see where it came from.

It was a Red pickup truck with armored plating on it, followed by a van and a RV. Everyone on the lot except for Caitlyn, Jayce, Viktor, and the rest of StormPar would rush over to the red, armored-pickup truck. Caitlyn would scoff softly as she looked around at everyone that stood next to her.
"Who are they?" Caitlyn would ask
"Chasers out of Arkansas." Jayve would respond with as he looked forward
"Hillbillies with a YouTube channel." Viktor said as he also responded
Caitlyn, Jayce, Viktor, and the rest of StormPar would stand in front of their vehicles as the pickup drives passed them as someone in the passenger seat leaned out the window and pointed a camera.
"Hey StormPar. Smile for YouTube. Science is fun." Ekko said as he smirked as the trucked drived passed them
As the trucks come to a stop and people who seem to be fans, surround the truck ad the driver stepped out. Vi would step out, looking around with a smile on her face. She wore a cowboy hat with sunglasses.
"If you feel it–!" Vi said and stopped abruptly
"Chase it!" People around her would say
"I said if you feel it–!" Vi said and stopped abruptly again
"Chase it!" The people would say again

Vi and Ekko would would walk around as people went back to their vehicles. Vi, the redheaded tornado wrangler, would look over at Caitlyn, smiling at her as she tips her hat. Caitlyn would give a soft wave as she turned to Jayce who handed her a iPad.
"I'm going to look at the Radar and get back to you on which storm to go with." Caitlyn would say to Jayce and Viktor
"Alright, Caitlyn. We'll be right over here." Jayce would say to Caitlyn as he and Viktor went over to the StormPar team
Caitlyn would hold the iPad as she walked into the grass on the edge of the lot. She was looking in the distance at far away storm clouds, bending down to pick up soft dirt to test the direction of the wind. It would blow the dirt in directions that were the storm headings. Vi was already walking over to Caitlyn, chuckling at the fact that she is playing with dirt when she has this fancy iPad. She would stand next to her as she too would look at the storm clouds in the distance. Vi would occasionally look between the sky and Caitlyn.
"Looking at you, I'd say you're from the big city." Vi would say as she smiled
"Well actually– I am from here. Sapulpa, on my mom's farm." Caitlyn would say as she turns to Vi, giving a playful smile
"Well Sapulpa. Which storm are we chasing?" Vi asked her as she walked around to face Caitlyn, taking off her glasses
"Hm, I would say the one to the west. Better numbers." Caitlyn would say
"Yo Vi! What storm are we chasing?" Ekko would ask her as he walked up to them
"Well Sapulpa here says the one to the west. Isn't that right–?" Vi would turn to look at Caitlyn but she wasn't there
Caitlyn was already running over to Jayce and Viktor, telling to go with the storm to the east. The three of them and StormPar gets prepped. Jayce and Vi would take the lead truck as Viktor and someone else was in the one behind them, along with their other truck and van. Vi sees this as she assembled her team when she realized that Caitlyn lied to try and get Vi off the scent of the better storm. With a few minute lead, StormPar would be right on the storm as they near a wind turbine farm. When they split off to put radars in front of the storm and as Jayce is driving the truck, Vi and Ekko would drive across the road to cut them off. They would laugh in Vi's truck as they were currently live on YouTube. They drive through hail while dodging parts from the wind turbines. Jayce would hit his dashboard as he turned into the wind farm as the tornado touches down. As that was going on, two from StormPar would activate the first radar.
"Tin Man is active!" They would say over comms
At a safe distance, StormPar's tech van would pull over on the side of the road, so that they can read the numbers and watch the radar feedback. Viktor and his driver would pull over to activate their radar.
"Scarecrow is active!" Viktor said over the comms
Jayce and Caitlyn would pull over to set down the radar, but the tornado already shifted and they were too late. Jayce groaned as Vi pulled up behind them in her armored plated pickup truck. She rolls down the window and does a twirl with her finger then driving off into the field to chase after the tornado. Vi and Ekko would put on the harnesses as they drive alongside the tornado. She parks and pushed a button as anchors that go feet into the ground to make them grounded while in the tornado. Caitlyn and Jayce watch in the distance as fireworks are launched into the tornado. Caitlyn looked confused.
"Are those....fireworks?" Caitlyn asked
"....Yeah." Jayce said before sighing
Hours later, both groups would be staying the night at a motor-inn. Caitlyn would walk out of her room after taking a shower in fresh clothes. She would talk to Jayce before going back inside her room. Jayce would be standing near his truck.
"Hey, how are you settling in?" Jayce asked her
"I am ok. I think I'm going to head to bed. See you tomorrow." Caitlyn would say to him
"Ok. Night Caitlyn." Jayce would say to her as he watched her walk to her room
Caitlyn would walk up the outside stairs to the second floor before seeing Vi and Ekko's crew. Vi would look over at her and smile as she turned to face her.
"Caitlyn here said we should've went east, can't believe anything she says. She may be from Sapulpa, but she is City girl– New York City." Vi said as she was working on the truck
"That may be true, but can you really trust someone who puts her face on a shirt." Caitlyn would say in response, smirking
"Ooooooh!" Ekko, Sevika, and a few other would say before laughing
The next morning, Caitlyn would walk out of her room and make her way to the diner across the street. StormPar was already over there and Vi's group was now parked in a more open area. Vi would be working on the truck, looking up as Caitlyn walked into diner. She would smile as she went back to the truck. Caitlyn would walk into the diner to get Jayce, showing him the latest tracking data.
"Jayce, we are going green. This cell is perfect for tornadoes." Caitlyn would say as she then ordered a lemonade for the road
"Ok, StormPar! We are moving out." Jayce, Viktor, and Caitlyn would them go outside
Maddie Nolen would get her drone controls as Ekko held her drone and threw it into the air to launch it into the sky. Caitlyn and Jayce would run to his truck and lead StormPar towards the storm. Vi was close behind as she was leading her group of Tornado Wranglers to the storm as well. As both groups were heading into the storm, there was a Tornado touchdown, but it then split itself into two smaller twisters. Both groups were in shock and awe.
"We got twins! TWINS!" Ekko yelled from Vi's truck
"Whoooa man! Vi, you seeing this?!" Sevika said over the radio from the passenger seat in the RV
"Oh, I see it! Lets get ahead of them." Vi responded as her group sped up in front of StormPar and turned right while Jayce and Caitlyn turned left to lead StormPar

As the RV and van stayed back, Vi and Ekko would drive right near the tornado. Ekko would hangout the passenger side to load the launchers with fireworks.
When they were right in front of it, Vi would anchor the truck into the dirt as the tornado got closer and Ekko would get back in truck. Both shouting excitedly as it got closer, but the tornado would die out. Ekko would sigh as Vi stepped out of the truck when Sevika and the others pulled up.
"The hell happened?" Sevika asked her
Vi wouldn't respond, all she did was look into the distance at the other tornado. She smirks ad Caitlyn got her to go after the weaker tornado.
| Song Ending |
As the tornado on the left was still moving, Jayce and StormPar would successfully place their radars, but him and Jayce had to get out of there prematurely. They didn't have time to lock down the radar. Jayce and Caitlyn would be in the truck as he backs it up into a ditch and out of harms way. After a few minutes, the tornado would go pass them as Caitlyn and Jayce got out
"We...We need to get the radar, Caitlyn." Jayce said as he was looking at the tracking device
"The tornado is heading for a town, we need to help. Come on, Jayce." Caitlyn said
"Ok Ok, let's go." Jayce said as he got back into the truck and started to drive towards the town that the tornado was heading to
After a few minutes, StormPar along with Vi's group got to the small town. Everything was destroyed, people needed help. Vi got out of her truck as Jayce did the same, both gave each other a nod as putting aside petty feelings for now to help the people that need it the most. Caitlyn and Vi would walk together to help anyone who needs it. Vi would look at Caitlyn and give off a small smile. Caitlyn would also smile.
"So...Caitlyn. You really grew up in Sapulpa?" Vi would ask her as she helped a woman in the direction of where she can get fresh water and something to eat
"Yep. Couple of miles from here." Caitlyn would say, smiling at the fact that Vi is so caring about people and that she wants to help others who really need it
"Still got family there?" Vi would ask her as they continued walking through the debris
"My mom's still there. She raises chickens on the farm I try to make it out there from time to time." Caitlyn would say, smiling
Hours go by, Caitlyn was in a motel room, looking through the research numbers on her laptop when there was a knock at her door. She wondered who it was, getting up and opening the door to find out it was Vi. She was holding a pizza box as she walked in. Caitlyn did a playful scoff before crossing her arms as she looked at Vi.
"May I ask what are you doing in my room?" Caitlyn would ask her as she sat on the bed as Vi stood in front of her
"Want to get out of here? I wanna show you something." Vi said as she smirked
After a couple minutes, Vi and Caitlyn would be at the nearby rodeo. Caitlyn was sitting down in the bleacherz when Vi walked back to their seats with drinks. Caitlyn would smile as she took one of the drinks as Vi sat next to her. As they sipped their drinks, horses would enter the arena as riders were on their saddles. Vi would smile as she saw Caitlyn cheering and clapping. Caitlyn would look over at Vi, small but faint blush was now on her face as the rodeo continued. Vi would look over at the arena and did her finger twirl to them and they did the same in return.
"You know him?" Caitlyn would ask her
"Yeah, I did a few rodeos years back." Vi would say before sipping her drink
"That's why you chase tornadoes? Too many hits to the head?" Caitlyn would ask her
"Yeah, you can say that." Vi would say
As they were watching the rodeo, the wind started to pick up and leafs were being blown around and landing at their feet. Caitlyn and Vi look around as people next to them did the same thing. Phones started to go off with weather alerts then the sirens started. The rodeo announcer said over speakers that a tornado has touched down in the area and that they need to evacuate immediately. Caitlyn and Vi were already getting out of dodge while still helping people get to safety. As they were running, they go towards a motel and as Caitlyn runs in, Vi told a mother and daughter to follow them inside. Caitlyn was arguing with a patron and his girlfriend about the power being out in their room. As everyone was arguing, the siren speaker from the rodeo was blown through the window. Caitlyn, Vi, the mother, daughter, and motel attendant ran towards the empty pool while couple ran towards their truck. Caitlyn would turn around to see them get picked up by the tornado. Vi would watch it go on too.
"No–!" Caitlyn said as Vi would pull her towards the pool
As the group jumped into the pool, the motel attendant was the last to jump down and the tornado was getting closer. Vi sees this and gets on her hands and knees to crawl to him. She would go slowly to make sure she wasn't picked up by the tornado.
"Stay down...! Sir please– No stay down!" Vi said eagerly as she watched the man stand up and then get picked up by the tornado
Vi groans in frustration as a horse trailer was thrown by the tornado at her, she dived to get out of the way and joins Caitlyn with the mother and daughter as they all hold onto the pipes that were exposed and the horse trailer covers them. Vi and Caitlyn shield the mother and daughter as the tornado was still going nearby. After a couple of minutes, the tornado died out as all of them climbed out of the pool and looking at all the destruction. Helicopters were coming, Vi's group pulled out, and StormPar was close behind.
Jayce would get out of his truck and run over to Caitlyn as they hug each other as people walked around them. Vi, Ekko, and Sevika were talking by the pool. Maddie walked around, getting residual atmospheric readings with her drone.
"You ok? Where did you go?" Jayce asked her
"Vi took me to the rodeo– then the tornado, an EF4 touched down and we hid in the pool." Caitlyn would say as she pointed towards the pool behind him
"I'm glad you're ok, but that was stupid of you. The safest place is inside rather than a open, drained pool." Jayce said to her
"Stupid? It was closest thing we could have done. You don't know what it is like." Caitlyn said as she scoffed
"I don't know what it's like? We went out there, with your science project, and I lost three of friends...!" Jayce said, realizing he made a mistake as Caitlyn had an upset face
Caitlyn would turn storm off from the group, getting into the StormPar truck. Everyone in the groups, including Jayce and Vi watched as she drove off from the destroyed motel and rodeo. She needed to go home.

Caitlyn would be leaning her head into her hand as he propped her up on the driver side window. She drove as police cars and ambulances rush by to get to any injured people that were at the rodeo.
Caitlyn would be driving for what feels like hours. It was now pitch black out as she turned right on a dirt road and this would bring her into Sapulpa, her hometown. Caitlyn would return home after a few years
Caitlyn would then pull into a farm and look around before getting out, going to the front door and getting the key under the mat. Caitlyn would unlock the front door and make her way to the kitchen to get a glass of water.
| Song Ending |
As she was drinking water, Caitlyn's mom came from upstairs to see what the noise from the kitchen was. Cassandra smiled as it was just her daughter Caitlyn.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Cassandra asked her as she stood in the kitchen doorway
Caitlyn didn't say anything, all she did was walk over to her mom and give her hug. She has gone through a lot in the last couple of days. Minutes later, Caitlyn had changed into a new set of clothes as she stood in her old room with a towel on her head. She looked around at her old stuff, chuckling at her ugly childhood photos that her mom still had on the wall. Caitlyn would smile at the photo of her, Jayce, and their friends the day before they left that day 5 years ago.
The next day and after breakfast, Caitlyn would walk into the barn and gets memories of what her friends and she did in there years ago when they were developing the project—that ultimately got her three friends killed.
Caitlyn would snap out of her trance as the barn door open and it was Vi. She has somehow found where she lived. She smirked as she walked into the barn. Vi would look around as she approached Caitlyn's display table.
"You wanted to disrupt a Tornado?" Vi asked her as she walked around the table
"Yeah– What are you doing here? How did you even find me?" Caitlyn would ask her
"Sapulpa is not that big– plus I asked around. Your mom let me in." Vi would say with a faint smirk on her face
"Well that doesn't matter. My project got my friends killed. Me and Jayce were the only ones to make it. I got the chemical formula wrong in the field. Something about the moisture." Caitlyn said with an upset tone as she looked at Vi
"Maybe I can help you." Vi said
"You know—the farmers a couple of years ago used something to help with low rain." Cassandra said as she walked into the barn, arms crossed as she got between Caitlyn and Vi
The next day, Vi and Caitlyn were about to head out when Jayce and Viktor pulled up. Jayce got out, waving to Cassandra as she stood on the porch as he went to Vi and Caitlyn. He would apologize for what he said back in town. Caitlyn said the only way to make up for it was the radar data. Jayce nodded as he went back to the truck as Viktor handed him the data drive. Jayce would walk back and hand the data to Caitlyn. Him and Viktor left as they stood in the driveway, watching Jayce and Viktor drive away in the StormPar trucks.
"Be Safe dear, ok?" Cassandra said as she went to hug Caitlyn in her arms
"I will, I promise." Caitlyn said as she hugged her mother back
"You– keep an eye on her for me. Ok?" Cassandra asked Vi, looking at her
"I promise to watch over her." Vi said with a smile as he watched the two Kirammans
Vi and Caitlyn drive off in her armored plated pickup truck to chase a small storm cell. After watching a Tornado from a far and going right up to another, they come to a conclusion thay they need a better trailer, Ekko's rockets, and Maddie's drone if they want to get this correct.
They would meet up with Vi's group and welcome Caitlyn to the right team. They were able to secure the aluminum trailer and now were working on the rockets that turned the moisture into water with the chemical solution thay was in the rockets. Maddie would launch the rocket as the team moves out to find the storm.
After getting everything together, they follow the storm as a Tornado touches down. This is also when StormPar showed up, but thay wasn't what made it worst. The tornado was now rain wrapped, so it was barely visible. As Jayce and Viktor were in their truck, they were struck by debris and now the truck was on it's side. Caitlyn immediately got worried and Vi kept her in the seat to keep her from doing something stupid.
"We got to help them!" Caitlyn said to Vi as she looks out at Jayce's truck
"We got to stay here." Vi said as her group started backing up to get out of the tornadoes path
As the tornado was moving, it would start to go through a refinery. This would then cause a chain reaction. Everyone was in shock as Jayce and Viktor's truck was knocked right-side up and both groups were now driving away from the Tornado as it somehow grew to EF5 scale. The groups would drive towards El Reno to help people. StormPar was on the far end of town to help anyone over there. Vi, Caitlyn, Jayce, and the others would help people held up near the theater as the massive tornado gained speed and got closer to the town. Vi, Caitlyn, and Jayce would run to one of the side doors, but all they see is rain, debris, and the tornado heading their way.
"The theater isn't built for what's coming!" Jayce said as him and Vi went back to the viewing room to help people
As they went back inside the viewing room of the theater, Caitlyn would run outside and make her way to Vi's truck and starts driving towards the tornado with the trailer attached to the truck. Vi would walk through the theater looking for Caitlyn and finds that the side door is open then sees her driving towards the tornado in the distance.
"Where's Caitlyn?!" Jayce asked as him, Vi, and Ekko look out towards the tornado
Caitlyn would then stop in front of the tornado and anchor's down into the door, her finger hovering over the firework button as the three of them watch as Vi screams out for Caitlyn as Ekko and Jayce pull her back in and close the door. As the tornado goes over the truck, Caitlyn pushed the button and launched the rockets with the chemical solution into the tornado and waited for it to do it's job, but the tornado was starting to pull the truck from the dirt. Caitlyn would then push a button as the barrels on the trailer open and released her chemical mixture that was designed to tame a tornado. The truck was picked up and tossed around as the Tornado. It would then rip the wall off the theater while Vi, Jayce, and Ekko hold onto the chairs while Maddie and Sevika were able to dive down in time to hold onto chairs. Caitlyn's experiment would start to work but it might not be enough. As everyone was holding onto the chairs, Maddie's givesway and Vi was quick enough to hold onto Maddie while she was still able to hold onto the theater chair. After a few seconds, the tornado dies out and Maddie was Sage, everyone was as they start to walk out.
Back in the field, Caitlyn slowly crawls out of the upside-down truck and leans on it. She pants heavily as everyone runs over to her to make sure she is ok.Vi would basically dive down to help her. Jayce and Sevika look at each other. Maddie, Ekko, and Viktor would also look at each other. Vi would move the hair out of Caitlyn's face.
"You did it, Caitlyn." Vi said as she smiled
"No, we did it." Caitlyn said back "We all had a part to play in all—" She said before being cut off
Vi would lean in and kissed her, the two would embrace as the others would walk away to look at debris but it was only to give them space. They pull away from the kiss and smile at each other. Their research was now able to be presented to the world.
