“-check the comms are good?” The disembodied voice was calm and unfamiliar.
“Roger,” V answered, sounding like she was speaking to [Goro] from within his own head. The video captured everything on her interface, and he was somewhat disoriented by the speed and smoothness with which she sorted through several screens before dismissing them all and turning to her companion. Welles, his name had been. A big man, ill at ease in the suit he was wearing, but charismatic in that overbearing, American way. “Jackie?”
“What?” Jackie asked, and then broke out into a laugh when V punched his shoulder. “Geez, yes, roger, whatever.”
“So that’s an affirmative?” The first voice asked dryly– the netrunner, Goro guessed. T-bug. “As in, you’re not going to complain about some tiny-ass little made-up buzz in your ear for the next week?”
“What? No– c’mon T, you know me– I’m not a complainer.”
V laughed, the happy sound making Goro’s heart hurt. “Says the professional fucking belly-acher. Two weeks, Jack– two weeks I’ve been listening to you complain about those docker dumplings. Not a complainer, he says.”
“Ohhh, so that’s how you want to play it, eh?” Jackie shook a finger at V. She batted his hand away, scoffing, but he was unperturbed. “El príncipe de las pupusas?”
“Eso es el mejor que puedes hacer: el príncipe de las pupusas? Si recuerdo corr–“
“Children,” T-bug interrupted, in a tone that suggested she had suffered through this kind of conversation too many times. “Can we keep this professional, please?”
“Sorry T–“ Jackie flashed a smile, even as he whacked V in the arm and successfully parried her attempt to reciprocate. “Everything sounds great. You’re a rose among thorns.”

Vax and T-bug were actually really close, they’d play flirt and tease each other all the time. Jackie would always joke he felt like a third wheel when they all hung out.
The night before the height, T-Bug finds Vax on the roof, looking out at the city. She sits next to him and they chit chat a bit, Vax saying he’s worried something is gonna go wrong and T-Bug reminding him that he’s been training for this his whole life. And he reminds her that she has too. That she’s just as much as part of their team as he and Jackie are. She just huffs a laugh and then rests her head on his shoulder

Don’t mind me, just imagining an AU where Bleach and Cyberpunk are in the same universe and V is Ichigo’s descendant and can see spirits like him and just imagining V meeting the spirits of Maine’s crew alongside Jackie and Faraday’s and having chats with them and getting advice as they wander around Night City from time to time. Also Johnny thinking V’s high right now since he can’t see said spirits cause he’s an AI.
