Jinx Squishes a Spying Bug (Remake)

One of the wardens of Piltover thought that he had finally caught a lucky break, he had a chance spotting of the heinous criminal Jinx and had managed to trail her unnoticed with the departments new shrinking gadget. He shrunk himself down to roughly the size of a squirrel, small enough to be hard to spot especially since it was night, but large enough to not completely lose her. It was still difficult to keep pace with her at his small size but he was far too scared to risk trailing her any larger, the firepower she unleashed whenever she clashed with the law was well known even the freshest faced recruits. Besides the device had to cooldown for a few minutes after being used, so he really didn't have a choice. Thankfully the cheerful psycho frequently stopped to spray paint or vandalize parts of the city, and while the warden grit his teeth at having to just watch such fragrant property damage he knew that reporting Jinx's hideout and helping arrest her would make it all worth it. Eventually his target seemed to wrap up her crime spree and made her way into one of the cities filthiest slums, before hopping through the window of a property that looked abandoned. Tense but excited at the prospect of such a huge catch the warden followed her in, making his through floor after floor of empty rubble before spotting a dim light spilling out one of the few intact doors. Shrinking himself down even further now that his prize was in sight, the now ant-sized warden made his way under the door into the dimly-lit hideout. The room was fairly small, just a single bed, a table with a chair and a fridge making up it's only furniture. Atop the table was a plethora of weapons and spray-paint, though he could only make out glimpses of them from his low angle. Jinx was currently standing at the table messing with something he couldn't make out, but the warden decided to take advantage of her distraction to find somewhere to hide himself. Under the bed seemed like best shot despite being a bit away, but once hidden there he could wait for her to leave before going to contact his supervisors so an ambush could be set. Before he could quite make it to his destination however the heavy thud of titanic footsteps rung out and the ground and the rotted wood beneath him trembled, glancing back the towering form of Piltover's most wanted striding towards him greeted him and he quivered in fear, but thankfully her gaze didn't seem to be lowered towards him. But aware or not her pounding boots would still be a death sentence for the tiny man, a version of the shrinking device that kept ones fortitude when reduced in size was in the works but his left him as frail as an actual insect. Jerking his head back the panicked bug dashed for the safety of the bed, sprinting faster than he ever had before. While nearing his goal however he was suddenly thrown onto his stomach as the ground shook even more violently, he flipped himself over to see an even more towering young criminal practically on top of him. A thunderous crash blew out his eardrums as the hard sole of her boot slammed down just inches to the side of him, and he heard rather than saw the nightmare of a girl hop onto her bed since his eyes were clammed shut out of terror. A small stain began spreading out on the insects crotch, but he felt no shame after so narrowly missing such a gruesome death.

Slowly collecting himself and getting to his feet, he suddenly noticed the ominous shadow covering him. A nervous glance up gave him a good look at the dirtied sole of his tormentors boot, as well as her pale fingers quickly undoing the straps that held it to her foot. The exhausted warden forced himself to flee once more, frantically running to the side to escape the shadow of the oncoming footwear meteor. A desperate lunge cleared himself of the danger just as the boot impacted, but a frantic crawl was still needed to get clear as the discarded boot started to fall to its side. Panting after finally reaching safety the weary warden jumped as Jinx's other boot landed with a thud not far ahead of him, but he was thankfully still safe. Once the adrenaline finally faded from his system the warden noticed the musky odor now filling the air, spilling from the cavernous opening. The pungent odor made him clench his nose, and he hoped that it wouldn't reach far under the bed once he made his way there. Before he could resume the final leg of his journey however the giant woman above him started to talk to herself, and what she was musing about sent a shiver down the warden's spine.

"I'm pretty burnt out right now Fishbones, but we should definitely blow some stuff up tomorrow! Oooh, do we have any of the glitter bombs at this safehouse? I think I might have stashed some under the bed... or maybe that's where I stashed the cardboard cutout of Vi I was making? Eh, I guess you're right. Only one way to find out!"

With the news that the most psychotic and currently gigantic criminal in the city was about to rummage around his intended hiding spot caused the warden to freeze in place, his body locking down out of sheer shock at his awful luck. He finally unfroze as Jinx's stocking-clad and bare feet dropped to the ground nearby in preparation for her search, and the panicking bug was forced to make a difficult call and fled to the only refuge in reach. Gagging at the now overwhelming stench of what was clearly years of grueling use from their owner, the fear of discover still drove the warden to forge further into this damp hellhole. After making it deep enough to escape the light trickling in from the opening the disgusted warden warily took a seat, grimacing at how sticky the leather lining of the boot was but making no attempt to rise. Suddenly however he was flung forcefully as his hiding place was batted carelessly by the now prone Jinx, the sideways boot landing in the proper position as it's antlike guest was thrown onto it's insole. The insole was far more rancid than the sides of the boot had been, the struggling bug taking several minutes just to peel himself off of the sweat soaked and unbelievably pungent surface. After getting to his feet the shivering warden waited anxiously until he heard the giantess outside return to her bed, before making his way to the wall of the boot and attempting to scale it. Unfortunately the slick leather was far too smooth and slippery to make any progress upward, and after about an hour of pointless struggling the now tearful bug layed down and resigned himself to be discovered in the morning...

Jinx woke up with a drawn-out yawn, before lazily pulling herself out of bed. The tired rebel groggily put on the same stocking and clothes from yesterday and many days before it, she only had the one outfit and laundry wasn't a chore she remembered to do often. After munching on some stale cereal and downing some orange juice straight from the carton, she finally felt energized enough to get on her with her fun-filled day. Making her way to all the toys lined up on the table she picked out what she felt like bringing, and of course she grabbed Fishbones from the bed and slung him over her shoulder. The final step before starting her rampage was to sit on the edge of the bed and pull her worn-out boots on, dashing around the city in a single stocking sounded fun at first but she knew from personally experience that it would kill her feet. Once her footwear was strapped on she proudly marched out the door, eager to make Piltover a more colorful place once-more.

The snoring of a defeated warden were suddenly snuffed out as the stuffy fabric rolled over him like a worthless pebble, smothering the groggy bug before he could even process what was happening. It was too dark to make out what was pressing on him but even without the context clues of the sweaty odor and damp fabric he would have been able to guess, being stuck in a boot only really left one option. Before he could even bemoan his awful new roomate however he was introduced to the worst aspect of being an insole to an unaware goddess, the bone-cracking pressure. As his blissful torturer hopped off her bed her weight was suddenly planted right on top of him, and only the damp and squishy texture of both the ground and the stocking saved him from popping like a grape. But with the unimaginable pain rocking him death almost seemed like a blessing, and while the pressure went back a tad after the initial jump as Jinx went on her way at a casual strut, he could still barely think from the torment. The mix of pain and toxic atmosphere finally made the trapped bug snap, and he began writhing and struggling violently without regard to the lethargy and nihilism that had plagued him earlier. It felt like hours before the giant above him finally halted, though in fact she hadn't even made it all the way out of the building yet. The pressure suddenly abided although the moist stocking still pressed against him, but in a few moment that also departed and the exhausted warden gasped hoarsely despite the lingering aroma from the absent foot. He was given little rest however as his prison suddenly flipped over completely, and he tumbled unceremoniously onto a hard concrete floor. Groggily picking himself up and trying to adjust to the now blinding light, he could barely make out the blurry colors of a familiar outfit towering above him.

Jinx looked down confused at the odd bug at her feet, at least, she thought it had been a bug at first. She had felt something under her foot from the moment she left her room but had figured it was just a pebble, but the sudden squirming she had felt through her stocking had intrigued her enough to investigate. But instead of the expected shiny carapace of a cockroach tumbling out from her boot she saw the distinct uniform of one of the wardens, and a quick crouch to look closer confirmed that it was indeed a tiny lawman gagging at her foot-stench.

"Sheesh, I knew the tech wiz's you guys have come up with some pretty crazy stuff, but this is REALLY out there! I don't really get why you would want to make yourself even easier for me to play with, I guess you really are all masochists *giggles*.
I don't have much time to spare to mess with you, but I'm definitely looking forward to more of you losers to come crawling towards my feet! Since you're so eager to get down to there level, I guess it would be cruel of me to not make out with them for a bit..."

With a cruel grin Jinx lifted her brightly-colored stocking over the quivering insect, and began rubbing him forcefully into the ground with it. The squirming form of the helpless agent almost felt like a massage to the deranged anarchist, although it was somewhat muted through the fabric of the stocking. This gave her a rather exciting idea, and she halted her torture of the bug for a moment to peel her sweaty stocking off. She figured dropping him into it and putting it back on would force him to be her foot toy until she either grew bored of it, or he splattered like a paint bomb across her sole. But as she was doing so she noticed to the pathetic little thing suddenly frantically dig into his pocket, the dazed warden finally realizing that his gadget could resize him now and that a fistfight with this crazy bitch seemed far less scary than it had yesterday. But while she was unsure of what specifically the speck beneath her was planning she could tell his mood had shifted from the fearful plaything it was previously to someone far more defiant, and she really wasn't in the mood to spend any more of her day dealing with this. A bit regretful that she wouldn't be using him as a little toy but reassured by the fact that more lawmen would come at the same size later, she raised her barefoot unhesitantly and slammed it onto the bug. While she felt it flatten against her flesh she could still make out a bit of twitching from the squished bug, so she stomped and grinded on him some more before his corpse was nothing but mush. The bug himself had barely noticed his approaching death before it crushed him like a twig, the pain thankfully blacking him out before he was tenderized against the soft but sweaty sole of a cruel giantess.

If the poor insect had been able to report back about the hideout he had followed her to, he would have been a shoe-in for promotion...

Now the only reward he'll receive is the honor of being a red smudge on the floor and foot of the city's most wanted, the first of many.
