Adam and Eve
Hello, I thought of this little thing, I was bored and this popped into my head, I don't own anything, RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum, and the music mentioned in here are not mine. Also this has an Australian OC and Australian words and what not, so yeah, and I hope whoever reads this might like it. Sorry for mistakes and this has swearing in it.
-MASSIVE SPOILERS FROM RWBY SEASON 6 EPISODE 11- throughout this fanfiction.
Eve walked through the slightly snowy forest and shivered she continued on, hearing metal hit metal like swords, she looked around and rubbed her hands on her arms as she spoke "well we aint in Kansas anymore." And lightly laughed, she had been at her mothers in Keppel Sands she went to explore on the rocky beach trail and when she went through an overpass of rocks like a small tunnel she arrived here. It was colder than Australia in summer by far. She saw puffs of air leave her mouth, she grabbed out her IPhone flip case with all her cards and information and even money in it, and the phone said no service and there was no 4G, there was no connection. It wasn't unusual while out of the main cities to not get service but still she frowned still walking towards the sounds, she got to a ledge; keeping her distance to make sure she didn't slip in with her flip flops, she saw a black haired woman and a man with red hair fighting with swords and sheaths, it was- well if Eve was honest with herself impressive, she hadn't even seen pro fighters able to do these moves so rapidly. "At least I don't need to pay to watch the show," Eve chuckled she noticed that the man shot or hit the woman only for it to be an after image, "wow now that is quick to be leaving an after image."
Eve noticed the fella overpower the shella and then remove his blindfold and continue speaking to her. Eve nodded impressed that he was fighting without seeing and guessed they were practicing except for the fact that it seemed they were trying to kill each other. She couldn't hear their words and was way up above them as they fought on a natural made bridge that crossed over one just like it and with a waterfall and river below it going out to the ocean. Eve was about to wave and call out to the two when she noticed the guy yell and slam his sword through her, Eve gasped "well I was right they are trying to kill each other, talk about anger issues," Eve knew the second she arrived that something was wrong and thought 'maybe I found a portal to Narnia or another world…how cool!' but now she was just confused. The female disappeared like a shadow, and Eve was sure that was not a normal condition, the girl was still hurt though but again Eve saw no blood, just then Eve turned and to her left she could hear a motorbike and she saw it too, it was orange and a woman with very long blond hair drove it over the ledge and back flipped off of it and landed while the bike itself hit the guy and then flipped over and ended up in the drink. "Wow that's one way to get down there…and make an entrance, however I am not a stunt person from mission impossible, I think I'll walk down like a normal person." She mused to herself, Eve was visiting her mother when she got here and when she turned back there was nothing but forest so she didn't know what to do she panicked but then went with the flow after watching Narnia and Zuthura she guessed it was get to the end and you get to go home kind of deal, being Australian allowed Eve to shrug off a lot of things in life regardless that her position of employment was a CEO of her father's company.
Eve was hot back home and so she wore bikinis so she could go for a dip if need be, denim short-shorts and a pink mambo singlet with an open back and black thongs, so right now she was cold to say the least, when she got down and left the cover of the trees the two girls were holding each other's hands and saying "She is not protecting me Adam and I am not protecting her…we are protecting each other." They stood proud but Eve stood there confused the shit out of and spoke her mind "what the hell have you bitches been smoking, how can yous not be protecting each other but at the same time protecting each other that just doesn't make sense." All turned to Eve hearing her words, and the guy frowned "another bloody human," Eve put her hand on her hip "well excuse me for being born this way buddy, in case you didn't know you don't get to go through a selection process, I didn't get to choose unicorn or mermaid…or demon…oh what about a dragon… that would be so freaking cool!" Eve went a little of base with her thoughts and just continued speaking regardless, they were dumbstruck and the blondie asked "andddd who are you exactly?"
Eve snapped out of her loud thoughts, she smiled "oh sorry I interrupted…whatever it was yous were doing, I'm Evelyn but everyone just calls me Eve." It was a silent awkwardness with crickets chirping "anyway~ I am lost and I can't get a signal, I was on a beach and then I was here, wherever here is," Eve grabbed out her phone and pointed to it, which made the other three tense up, "Enough of this, I'll deal with you later," the male spoke up. Eve not having a filter spoke "oh how kind, I'll just wait for you." Again Adam frowned at the strange human as the girls spoke "I think your misunderstanding what he means when he says 'deal with you,'" the girls quickly defended as the fella rushed them and it was now two on one. Eve sat down on the edge of the forest in the sun trying to stay warm, as she watched the show, she still had no idea how the guy was able to stand or much less fight with no broken bones after being hit with a flying freaking motorbike but oh well she would ask later.
It was incredible watching such acrobatics; they used firearms too, that being mainly the blondie who used it to propel her body through the air and maneuver, and the other had a strange short black sheath sword? The fella had a rifle gun but it was a sheath for his red bladed sword too. Eve sat excitedly watching them, trying to keep up, she hadn't ever seen anything like this before, and even though she was bummed out that this was indeed not Narnia and she wasn't conversing with talking animals who had clothes and weapons and what not she still found this extremely entertaining.
Being this close Eve could tell there was something magical about this world, these people 1-fought like there was no gravity and she was sure would need an eight pack to perform most of the things. 2- They seemed to have abilities the fella absorbed the shots fired at him and his hair and clothes shined bright red as he sends a wave out of his sword. The black haired chic made something like shadow clones and the blondie was very good in hand-to-hand combat and was taking a wallop. 3- Eve noticed extra cat ears on top of the black haired woman's head and something like horns on the guy's head, meanwhile the blondie had a mechanical right arm which was slightly damaged. Eve was surprised when the blondie lit up like a candle and beat the fella to a pulp, she noticed the shimmering red coloured light covering his body break and disappear, as he made a pained sound and for the first time was panting. The black chick was out on the side, she had been tired by the start of this fight, and once he was down for the count and the blondie wasn't a sun anymore she too was exhausted. Eve whistled and clapped after getting to her feet "good match guys, but to be fair it was two on one… so can someone help me with directions or what not, coz I'm freezing my arse off out here." The guy was on his back looking at this chick like she had a second head, the blondie sighed in exhaustion and the black haired shella stood up from her position on the sidelines.
"You know most civilians are not outside the boarder, I'm Blake and this is Yang," Eve looked expectant because she didn't introduce the man who was still on his back too tired to get up, "and you are?" Eve noticed his damaged eye, it looked like it was burned with a brand saying SOS but she couldn't be sure, what she was sure off was that it would have hurt like a bitch. "Why should I tell you?" Eve tilted her head "you said you would help earlier right," the two chicks now Blake and Yang 'what strange names' spoke up "he meant he would kill you," Eve gasped and put her hands on her hips "well that is not nice, and definitely uncalled for young man, when you met someone you introduce yourself and treat those the way you wished to be treated." The red haired man chuckled as he stood up to his feet and wavered a little, Eve noticed the two girls go on guard once more and Eve realised they were enemies. "Wow, a human is telling me how to act meanwhile yous are the worse there is on this dam cursed planet!" Eve looked at him "I'm right here you don't have to shout, I don't know what you mean by humans, you look human to me, so how about we retry this once more," Eve cleared her throat "hello my name is Eve and you are?" Adam sighed but also frowned at her "Adam," he growled out, the human smiled "there you go that wasn't so hard now was it, it's nice to meet you Adam, so I guess I came at a bad time seeing yous were trying to resolve some what looked like personal issues, but I seem to be lost and have no clue as to where I am."
Adam still being exhausted and the girls keeping their distance from him just in case he decided to attack again, Yang pause for a second as this strange female was just so dam bazaar, "well we are outside of Argus which is in that direction…" She noticed the woman's face pulled into confusion, but then she spoke up "no, no, no honey I think you miss understand me, what is the name of this planet or country?" they all froze even Adam was thinking a mile a minute "R-Remnant," Yang said really taking in the woman's pink singlet top, tattoos littering her arms and legs and her denim shorts and the foot ware being thongs (flip flops). "Where did you say you were from?" she chanced a little worried that the answer was not going to be from a place on this world, "oh me, I'm from Australia Queensland and I was visiting my mother at Keppel Sands when I somehow walked into a snowy forest from a mid-summer hot ass beach, so just a little freaking cold."
Eve had not heard of this Remnant place or world, she wondered how she would get home but at the same time welcomed the adventure as if she was in a movie herself, Eve continued to speak as they were all silent, "well you see my world is called Earth, and I am from the country Australia and that country has different states and I live in the Queensland one, but I live in its capital Brisbane but yeah…yous have no idea what I'm talking about do you, oh well, I'll just stick with yous." Eve stopped as she noticed that they were all standing still not even bothered to fight and try killing one another.
Adam spoke up "so you're an alien?" his one good eyebrow raised up as he was trying to understand the situation,
The woman put a finger to her lip in thought but smiled as if exuberant "oh my god, I guess I am, that is so cool, but please call me Eve…so why were yous training?"
Eve knew something more was going on but didn't want to come of privy, so she kept up her down to earth carefree attitude she had learned life was easier to live when one was relaxed.
"HE attacked me, because I left him and the white fang,"
"YOU ABANDONED ME!"
"YOU WERE KILLING PEOPLE!"
"THEY DESERVED IT FOR WHAT THEY DID TO ME!"
"NEWS FLASH ADAM THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON WHO DID THAT TO YOU!"
The yelling match between Adam and Blake was paused when Eve walked closer to them doing a time out hand signal and saying.
"Time-out, time-out, calm down and speak rationally, so Adam did you attack Blake here today and start this confrontation?" Adam had the feeling of a mother talking to her child and it annoyed him; 'he was a fully grown man, no one should talk to him like that.'
"So what if I did, she deserves what's coming to her," Eve spoke up once more "and why is that, is it because she abandoned you and that caused you pain and now you want to inflict that pain onto her so she will understand what you feel?" All stood still Yang spoke up "what are you a shrink?"
"No but I know that no one can understand another, it is impossible the most we can do is try to understand and be considerate…so what I have heard is that Adam and Blake were in a relationship and the separation was not done in a pleasant way?"
Adam spoke up "I don't need to explain anything to you human," Eve tutted him "no remember I'm an alien, we just verified that, so Blake how did you break up with Adam here and why did you do it like that…trust me talking this out will help."
Blake turned to Adam to talk to him, "no matter how many times I spoke to you about killing people, you would not stop, you lost your heart and you changed, you became spiteful only hurting because you could. Your nothing like the Adam I was with, I was frightened of you and still am, I knew if I tried to end our relationship you would have not accepted it or killed me, and my place was no longer needed at the white fang as they just seemed to become an organisation to kill humans and ended up being manipulated by outside forces, something you would have never let happen before."
Yang stayed silent as did Eve as Adam frowned and tightened his fist hearing the softness from Blake, "since when were you ever this soft, you got weak, and selfish putting yourself above the cause which was the revolution we were meant to bring about, but all of that is gone, you made sure of it when you destroyed the White Fang and its purpose."
"I wanted equality for humans and the Faunus not to kill them and put them down like they did us; it would make us worse than them,"
Eve noticed there was a lot of baggage between the two and the mention of Faunus was what she guessed was what the two of them were, "okay, okay, so yous were lovers and in this white fang which was working towards a goal of equal rights for two different species one being humans and one named Faunus… what is a Faunus?" All looked to Eve
"We are Faunus!" Adam snapped at the woman; now over talking, he was never one to waste time on words when actions speak clearly, Yang took the blow he sent at Blake trying to end her life. Eve quickly took a step back as the close combat fight got heated quickly. Adam being tired was happy that Yang shot at him as he absorbed the energy now feeling his aura build back up to what it once was, but it didn't last long as Blake came in and used a shadow clone, with an intense combo attack with intricate steps, they managed to tip Adam off of his balance and slam him backwards off of his feet, but Eve was smack bang right in his way and ended up going into the river below with one Adam.
The water was fast, and there were many rocks and boulders that the two hit and banged into as they were carried out to sea. Eve didn't mind shallow waters but once it got into deeper water Eve knew bigger creatures came to play, like sharks and jeeze was she scared of them. Eve had noticed Adam off to her side maybe ten meters give or take a few he was just bobbing, she guessed he was unconscious, she had also hit her head, back and hip as they went down the fast river. Eve knew how to swim living in a country surrounded by sea tended to make those who lived there to learn such things, she got a hold of Adam and noticed he had a bleeding head and the things on his head were horns one with a crack through it, like a spider web. Very slowly she difficultly versed the strong waves and she learnt it was impossible for her to go against the current of the river, so the sheer cliff side was where she went. She held onto a rock with a heavy unconscious fella on her back as she was hit with every wave making her fell heavier and slip a little.
"Man how do I get myself in these situations, just go with the flow, everything will be fine they said, take some time off of work and visit your mum, what's the worst that can happen?" Eve heard the water break a little further out and when she looked over her shoulder she saw a black thin body and red fins cap the surface. "Oh crickey," Eve was not dying that day; she instead got a grip on the rock with her feet, and hocked the long legs of Adam over the tops of her own thighs. She looked down noticing his weapon was in his belt, which was wrapped around his body twice, she undid it and grabbed onto his weapon and tied his body to her own tightly, and put his arms over her shoulders.
Eve groaned "heavy bastard," and she tried to rock climb out of the water while hauling this guy on her back, she was not athletic, sure healthy and fit but she didn't hit the gym three times a week or had hobbies such as rock climbing, hiking or paddle boating or some shit like that, no she was 'normal' like reading a book, watching a movie or listening to music maybe go shopping or see a few friends the most she has done is go shooting on her father's property which was a mansion on acreage with stables. Eve groaned each time she moved one limb, her body shook as she gripped on to dear life, trying to not slip or let go, she was shivering and freezing from the water. It took her a long time but she was now only two meters from the top, her goal in sight as she felt her right foot slip and she slinked her body to the wall and placed her weight on the other three limbs feeling the scrapes from the rocky surface on her knee and shin area.
"Oh for fuck sake, just a little more," she gripped her teeth as she tried to make the next move up to the jutting rock she was eyeing for her left hand and she pulled herself up, she held herself there and breathed deeply feeling everything shake now and the need to just give up. She sat there longer than she should off, "just a little more."
Eve felt movement on her back, causing the weight to shift and she panicked as she pulled herself close to the wall, "please don't move or freak out!" Adam had regained consciousness and was surprised to see hair, and then a neck and the side of a woman's face, his arm overs her shoulders and bent at the elbows, he was dizzy and his head and left horn was incredibly sore, he heard her say please and not to move or freak out, when Adam realised he was not touching the ground but was on her back and she was climbing a cliff.
"What are you doing?" he asked still taking note of the water below that looked really far down but he couldn't get a perception of its depth, and he felt nauseous, as he looked up he noted they looked very close to the top, he noticed the next grip for her to take, as he said in a soft and exhausted not really all there voice "well go on."
Eve huffed at his words "yeah, easier said than done," she gripped the next one she was about to take just when he woke up, she was glad he was so subdued when he woke up most people would have moved and tried to get down in a panic. Adam watched noticing the tattooed images of human skulls and flowers and vines even butterflies and a stencil bird all done in colour moved as her arm tensed up and her muscles worked, she was shaking, Adam guessed she was exhausted carrying his weight on her back, she didn't look like the fighting or even strong type, more like the type to just yap a lot.
Adam moved his hands up and was able to reach the side of the ledge and without words they were on the same page as she pushed off her legs and pulled with her arms, along with Adam pulling with his arm strength they got up and over the edge, Eve falling to her side and him going with her as he noticed she had his belt buckled around the both of them to keep him on while she climbed, she was too tired to release it, so he did it while she breathed like her life depended on it. Adam was happy when he saw Wilt and Blush with him but then frowned at this Eve who he blamed for this predicament, 'if she had not come in then he would have won and the two wouldn't have had time to recuperate,' Adam heard Eve speak up "well I've done my exercise for a week, no need to thank me for getting your arse outta the water with whatever that sea creature was.." Adam all of a sudden had his hand around her throat with a frown on his face.
The woman put her hands on his own to stop him but her words didn't match up, her humour and sarcasm still present "well you have a funny way of saying thank-you," Eve had only just gotten the words out as his hand clamped harder, but he fully released her and swayed from his head injury, nearly falling over the edge once more. Eve knew nothing off this world and seeing as the two girls were probably very far away,meaning this guy was her only salvation, so she quickly pulled on the front of his jacket to stop him from falling. "You're going the wrong way," Adam fell forward instead of back as the talkative human…alien pulled his body forward keeping him alive and safe however he fell onto his face and then heard the human…Alien say "opps maybe I should have caught him," Adam being exhausted and frustrated said "oh you think," he slowly flipped over and the girl helped him but he noticed her shaking and looking weak herself.
Eve then fretted looking at his head, he thought she was looking at his horns and automatically he frowned "what you looking at!" Eve jolted "oh you have a head wound and your left horn is cracked from the fall, what should I do?" Adam noticed Eve was not equipped for these types of situations, maybe a little rich kid who was sheltered her whole life. He then noticed red on the snow under her leg, "your bleeding," Eve looked down to her leg and then noticed the scape and cut wound from her slip up the side of the cliff, but it didn't look that bad. Her first worry was if it damaged any of her tattoos which it didn't leaving her upper thigh polka trash design and her multiple collection of big cats on her lower calf safe, she sighed happy, "well at least my tattoos are fine."
Adam had noted every limb of hers so far had intricate tattoos nothing like he had seen before, and it seemed to make her happy to note they were not damaged, he then noticed her top opened up at the back with a large slit and the bottom of the fabric was tied together in a knot which she undid and tried to tear but couldn't. "Dam good fabrics…making it…. difficult to…. survive when you…. need a fucking bandage!" she had gritted her teeth and pulled with all her muscle but nothing, Adam had to admit she was amusing to watch, especially when she spoke of what she thought, she was a very vocal alien indeed.
Her eyes fell to his sword she picked it up, and he watched hoping she would slip and cut herself, but he guessed she wouldn't seeing as even her back and sides had tattoos too and she was extra careful as she used the long blade to cut off the bottom part of her barely there singlet and then untie the knot at the bottom; getting one long piece of fabric. Eve placed his sword back in its sheath carefully and Adam was happy to see her take care of his weapon. He thought she was going to wrap her own leg but instead she leaned over and wrapped his head. Eve noticed his eyes showed confusion from her actions "um, you have a cut on the left side of your forehead just under your horn, and that is cracked too," she looked at it trying to figure out what to do "should I wrap your horn up as well, I don't really know what to do."
Adam tried to sit up but instantly laid back down as he was dizzy, "ah hold on there," Eve had to help him out, and helped hold his shoulder "does it hurt?" Adam gave her a look that said seriously, she shrugged her shoulders "well the only things with horn in my world is elephants and rhino's and they don't feel pain if they are broken off seeing its ivory, only the base where it goes into the skin…I think?" Adam rolled his eyes and instantly regrated it, "how bad is it?" Eve put her attention to him and said "it is close to the base but it looks shallow like a spider web fracture, looks cool if I'm being honest."
"Tap the pointed tip," Eve did as he asked Adam regretted it instantly as he felt the pain radiate in the front of his skull like his skull was cracked and felt sick from the pain and dizzy from the area it was in. "Wow you look in a bad way mate," Adam froze hearing her call him that, "what?" he did not sound intelligent "you look like shit, so what do we do now, I mean we are wet, in freezing cold weather with no mode of transportation, maybe we can call an ambulance or rescue services?" Adam was lying on his back once more with his eyes closed as he listened to this Eve and he laughed "those are only available in kingdoms and larger cities and villages; we also have no way to contact help…"
That reminded Eve of her own phone and she panicked as she searched her pockets and pulled out her phone and wallet all in one, as she removed the elastic strap that kept it closed she opened it up and sighed when she noticed it was not damaged and the screen lit up, "thank god I chose the XR, water resistance comes handy, and all my cards and money is still there." Adam peeked out of his eye as he noticed her happiness over such a small thing, Adam noticed the red device was not like a scroll, it looked heavier and sturdier he also noticed cards, he thought they were lien but then noticed they had writing on them. "What are they?" Eve taking his curiosity as a way to break the ice so to say, chose to sit on her romp right next to him, helping him to sit up she also liked being this close as he was far more clothed and warmer than she was.
Eve pulled out her Driver's License first, it was a gold card and had a chip on it with an old image of her, "this is a driver's license, so I can drive my vehicle, it has the basic info height, eye colour, type of vehicle I am allowed to operate, oh and even where I live." Adam took it from her lightly as she didn't seem to mind, he read her name noticing there were three names he thought one was the last but he couldn't tell, "Evelyn Tatianna Salkow, your born the 16th of May 1993!" Adam was shocked at the number of years that was present as the other numbers below were in the 20's, he noticed she looked younger in the image her hair was wavy and long, her face a little round, maybe she had since lost weight and she didn't have the small little diamond pierced through the side of her nose like she did now. He flipped it over and saw an address in the top left corner and a light map with a section darkened, the country called Australia looked like a wonky stretched out heart, and a few other little islands around it on the edges, she was definitely not from his world.
Eve chose to lay down next to his side on her back, her head lying next to his shoulder, as she took her license and passed him the entire item with her phone and all, it lit up the screen that said slide to unlock, and then said face ID but then said try again and asked for a passcode, Eve took it for a second and then passed it back as it was now unlocked. He saw many little apps on it, and eventually tapped on a colourful one that said images. The first ones were food and then documents with shit he had no clue off, then tattoo's and then of her with a dark haired older looking woman and then her at a beach and then even more of a man and more documents and then her with a car that was nothing like he had seen. She seemed to not have cared what he looked at but she spoke of who the people were; "That's my mum, and my dad, that's a salad I made and it didn't taste half bad, that's the car I bought in February, that's just work documents, ah that is my puppy dog, who is such a cutie wootie~"
Adam was too tired to react to her familiarity, Eve sat up and freaked out, "oh my god is that you're freaking moon, what the fuck happened to it, yous accidentally send a fucking missile to it, how is the world even copping with that?" Adam didn't quite understand the moon had always been like that "what? isn't your moon like that too?" The alien turned to him shocked "are you fucking kidding me, NO it is not meant to be like that, our moon is whole and it rotates our earth and that helps the tides and weather patterns of our planet, without the moon life would die, a server change or damage to it would cause catastrophe…and you don't care." Adam sighed at her outburst what Adam thought was that her world was fragile, just like her.
"Can we please just sit here in silence for a while?" Eve looked at him noticing the pain and the exhaustion as he had finished looking at her money which he thought was strange, Eve spoke once more "um we shouldn't stay here, we need to get you to a hospital…" her words made him shout "NO!" Eve widened her eyes slightly "okay no need to be dramatic…well at least to get shelter and warm up a little, we can get hypothermia if we don't, shelter will be good too, especially when night comes, I don't know about you but I don't know the animals in this world or region and an aggressive one at that, so can we please try and get outta here…?" Eve sat silent wondering if he heard her as his eyes were still closed Eve poked him "are you still awake?" Adam snapped his eyes open "yes I'm still awake, I'm trying to bloody think but you just won't shut the fuck up!" Eve rolled her eyes "jeeze all you had to do was say you were thinking," Adam fisted his hands in annoyance and frustration, 'this dam alien was annoying the fuck out of him.'
"We can't go to Argus as it's on high alert and I'm wanted, maybe we can get better coverage in the woods and begin a fire and rest," He watched Eve nod her head more enthusiastically, then he spoke up a thought he had "you know you're the worst alien I've ever meet, I mean who goes to a planet and not know where they are or anything about the place itself?" Eve slightly frowned and then realised what he meant "hey, I didn't fly here on a spaceship or something, I seriously walked into a small rock tunnel and when I came out on the other side; I was here with no more land marks from my home, so I am sorry... plus I am sure I'm the only alien you've ever meet….right?" Adam sighed and groaned as he got to his feet, still dizzy and sore but could at least do that much, the woman was by his side as she followed him and of course began talking "so you said Argus and that you can't go there why is that exactly?" Adam wasn't even going to bother rolling his eyes at her stupid annoying privy questions, but he chose to answer "I just tried to kill those women plus I did lead the white fang against Vale and won, killing thousands and then again attacked Haven but that little bitch got in my way, so I'm wanted by authorities, happy?" He was snappy hearing of his previous fail and now having no followers for his cause and that also made him only expandable to Hazel and the one he calls Queen.
Eve answered honestly "no I'm not happy hearing that, it sounds sad actually, what is it all for?" "What?" he asked "what I mean is why attack and take down these places what is the end result, you know the goal?" Adam was sick to death of answering and just conversing with her, it felt like her presence sapped him of energy, "the Kingdom Vale had a hunter school named Beacon and at each hunter school is a vault that holds one relic my employer needs all four, each continent has their own school, they got the last relic, and we didn't even get the first one as its hidden." Eve thought it over "and who is it that wants you to get them and what do they do?" Adam frowned turning to her "that is none of your business, just be quite." Slicing her up was sounding like a good option however he was thinking of saving her for a good scape goat or just throw her at the next grim he sees after all she doesn't know what they are.
"Which direction are we heading," Adam sighed and then turned to her in aggression "what about being quite do you not understand!" The woman looked shocked at his outburst but she pointed to something and said "just coz there's a path up there, talk about grouchy." Adam would have face palmed but his head hurt too much, he noticed her continue to walk to it while still shivering, he noticed she had goose bumps, he also noticed that she didn't seem scared of him, even though he tried to strangle her to death and it was still an option for him to finish the job later, if he had the energy to spend on her. He followed her and noticed it was the same path he stalked the group on when they made their way to Argus, he went to the left deciding to go back where he came from, he knew for a fact that there was the small farm area, of course he would have to dispatch all of the grim there.
It was beginning to get dark and when he looked back at his shadow he noticed she was shivering more and her lips were blue and she had white hair now from snow, Adam was lucky that as the day passed he had more aura build up, healing his head and cracked horn, but also keeping him warm and now easier to move, he was no longer dizzy or feeling sick. He also noticed that she was silent and had been most of the way after his outburst, he sighed and unzipped his jacket and dropped it over her head, after all she wrapped up his head and rock climbed a cliff with him on her back and she tried to get him and Blake to sort things out with words, he guessed that was how normal people did it, and all she wanted was to go home, he could at least give her a good death not a slow painful one of freezing to death.
Eve was very tired and cold not really feel her feet anymore she was in a haze of just keep walking playing over in her head as she was still so sore and tired and now hungry as they walked all day. She momentarily became aware when she felt something heavy and warm drop on her head at first she thought something pounced on her from behind but then noticed his jacket and he looked at her in surprise as she had jumped and made a panicked shriek sound. "It's just a jacket it aint going to eat you, unless your jackets eat people in your world," he chuckled at his own words being funny, Eve quickly slipped her arms into the sleeves and zipped it up, it covered everything and made it look like she was wearing nothing underneath as it was so big. Eve saw a way to converse and laugh a little as she gave him a scared serious look and she said "how did you know, they are what nearly wiped our species to extinction," Adam's eyes widen slightly as he just stood there, once Eve knew she had him on her hook she changed her face to a smile and as she walked pass him she elbowed him in the arm and said "just fucking with ya, thanks for the jacket."
Adam stood for a second before he realised what she did, he disliked people acting familiar when they knew nothing about him, but it just seemed to be her personality, he gripped the handle of his weapon and then caught up to her, he noticed she stopped and pointed to something in the distance "what's that?" Adam looked up to see a grim but not just any; but the ones that were at the farm, some must have gotten away and had ambled down the path meaning they were close to their destonation. Adam pulled Eve to the side getting out of sight behind a tree, "don't panic, I need to kill them and then clear the place we will take cover," Eve nodded to his words as she watched him take off her singlet turn bandage and then rip it up, Eve noticed his wounds were gone and her eyes widened she also noticed him sticking the fabric into his ears, he said "wait here," a little too loudly and a few second later Eve heard a screech that made her fall to her ass and want to sleep, she pulled her legs up to her chest covering them under his jacket still fully zipped up. She also heard his sword being pulled out of its sheath, she heard another screech and then saw blackness, as she fell asleep, she wondered if when she next woke she would be back in her world; she hoped not.
Adam was able to get through them quickly even with half the amount of aura he usually ran on, he cut down at least 10 of them, he came upon the farm and checked it all, including the underground passages. Adam took note of the skeleton in the water passages and shook his head "stupid human" he said as he finished checking all the grounds. The main house was too damaged to stay in but the other houses were fine, one also had a fireplace, which he knew would be useful, he noticed the alien was starting to turn blue from the cold. Adam made it back to her location only to find her asleep in a small ball, she was so still that he thought she was actually dead, he tapped her with the end of his weapon only to hear her groan much to his disappointment.
Eve woke up and noticed it was warm, she was still tired, Eve sat up noticing a fireplace lit and she had a few blankets draped over her. The wooden floor boards pushed into her hips and ribs but she was comfortable regardless just because of the warmth. Eve looked around, noticing that it was not her home, she remembered the three people and the man with horns and his name being Adam. Eve didn't see him though, they were in an open sitting room that also connected to the equally open dining room and kitchen, and it looked like a nice warm cabin house where she could see stairs heading up to what she guessed was rooms. "Your finally awake, you slept the whole night away," Eve noticed he was up and had covered his eyes with another black cloth like he had when she first saw him fighting Blake, "so it wasn't a dream, I'm really in another world."
Adam rolled his eyes, "yes and now we part ways, you helped me so I won't kill you unless our paths cross again," that annoyed Eve to hear, he didn't have to be such a dick, which she said out loud as she didn't have a filter, Adam tensed up hearing her words and turned to her, she was skating on thin ice. "Can't you at least tell me about this world, like what that black thing was and those screeches?" Adam thought it over if he didn't tell her she would not shut up, but then again he was sure he could outrun her, but the thought of him running away form a defenceless human-alien just made him bristle with anger. "The grim are soulless creatures all different sizes and types they exist only to kill humans and faunus," he spoke like he had said it a thousand times prior, "and what are the Faunus," Adam clenched his teeth but had to forcefully calm himself, "a race similar but different to humans, we have one animal trait and the ability to see in the dark, we are treated like animals and forced to bow to humans and do their mining for dust." Eve looked at him in a confused shock way as he had gotten angry saying that, "and what's dust?"
Adam had realised he spent close to an hour answering her questions, and that had not been the plan at all, but he too learned something about her and her humans, apparently they had no aura, no dust, no broken moon, more land and they also had no grim but their world was extremely vast compared to his own. He didn't even have to prompt her or ask questions she simply talked, and he half listened in, they were more technologically advanced she mentioned how humans in her world had walked on the moon and travelled to other planets and dove so deep into the ocean that they found other organisms and creatures and that they had been around for longer than 2000 years and before that dinosaurs lived 65 million years. Adam hated to admit it but he liked hearing about this world, if only there was only Faunus. Eve even said there were always wars, conflicts and issues on the world's issue right now was over population as more than 8 billion people were living. Eve also told him she was 25 and that she was a cross-breed of Russian, German and Australian and she could speak all three languages, which was new to Adam to hear, they had something like 6500 spoken languages but many of them were not used often. The more Adam listened the more he wanted to go there, a race of humans who were stupid and weak, yeah he could rule them all, but it wouldn't be worth it if he was the only Faunus there.
"Are you listening Adam?" Eve waved her hand over his face to check he was still with her, even though she could not see his eyes, he too had told her what SDC stood for and their part in being the largest duct company in world and their subjugation of Faunus to get the dust they want without paying them for proper manual labour. Adam nodded "yeah but hearing of that world shows just how spoilt and weak you are, I can't believe you helped me out," Eve rolled her eyes still sitting in her blankets and his jacket as he did not take it back while she slept, "you know it's okay to say I saved your life, you saved mine after all…look I don't know anyone in this world and I may not be strong by the normal standards of people in this world but come on, I am smart, give me that much credit." Adam had to admit that when he was telling her about the SDC and their company she had been on top of it and mentioned a tribute of laws broken and that was how he learned that she was a CEO which meant she ran a corporation and understood business and that jargon inside and out, he wondered if she would be useful. The thought of him being able to reach his goal was playing behind his eyes, and he knew she was asking to continue accompanying him as if she was afraid to be alone in this world. He didn't blame her after hearing about her world it was a piece of cake compared to this place, he wondered how long she would live without his help, plus it wasn't like he was needed by Salem anymore; with no army behind him.
Adam was so deep in his thoughts that Eve had to gain his attention again "so what do you say, travel buddies?" she smiled "drop the buddies part and then I may consider it," the day had been wasted with talking but he was sure that she really needed to rest apparently with no aura her body ached a lot and twice as long. "I don't have appropriate clothes though," Adam rolled his eyes "take what they have here, they won't be needing it anymore," Adam left her to her own devices as he watched her walk up to the rooms, he learned the way she spoke was called English but specifically Australian which was a slang like language, Adam heard her scream guessing she found the bodies in their beds.
They walked side by side as Eve changed into trousers a long sleeved turtle neck top and a jacket over the top as she returned his own to him; she also had zipped up boots and gloves with a beanie on her head. She gushed over how lucky she was that one of the people there was her size, she continued to yap, and yap, Adam was only grateful to hear things about her world, like the specific countries and aeroplanes, cars, laws, different races and then she spoke about her father's house and the individual horses and then how she did shooting with her dad, specifically target shooting, being half German and her mother half Russian meant that they had a lot of weapons in their family and were always around firearms. "Wait you can shoot?" For a second Adam was hopeful that she would be useful, she nodded "ah yeah, I just said I did shoot at my dad's property, good to know your listening," she smiled "yeah right whatever, back to shooting, here try and hit that tree stump." Adam unsheathed his sword and passed her the sheath, she looked at it a little put off that it wasn't like a normal gun, but she aimed and hit the tree stump." "Alright how about that one," Adam asked getting her to aim further away; she landed the shot he had to admit she was good, considering his rifle wasn't a very long range one. He took it from her, "you did well, maybe you will have a chance here, let's continue, and so what's this 'enternet' you spoke off?" Eve laughed at him, much to his annoyance "it's called internet, and it is like a digital set of data and information but really it can hold any information, so any photos and videos can be uploaded to it, and information added and is used to send info from one person to another."
Eve knew it was something like a CCT that he told her off, except with more information and a memory like a brain, "so how does it store it, does it have a big brain," Eve nodded "sort of but it's like instead of a living squishy brain it's more like a cybernetic super computer with a building of circuits as a brain." Adam was confused Eve pulled out her phone and used it as a way to explain stating memory storage was measurable in Kega, mega and giga bytes but also terra bytes, she said her phone had 68gigabytes and then explained that it held 10,000 images already and still had room, most of her memory space was used for Apps, pictures and for music, Adam asked what their music was like from her world.
"Well based on country and era dictates the type or sound, but well… how about I just play some…I still have 97% battery," Eve opened a music app and begun to play AJR- Burn down the House, Adam noticed the males voice and then the base guitar and then a sound like a trumpet but not and dumbs and a lot of sounds that were not instruments. Adam found it hard not to 'bounce' to the catchy beat and with a re-occurring chorus he found it easy to pick up, they continued to listen, and let it play through her songs, he saw she enjoyed music, and the next one was far more rock with intense drums but with techno sounds too, and a male singing. Eve noticed he enjoyed it so she told him what it was called "the song is called 'the only thing I know for real' and is performed by Jamir Christopherson." When Adam liked one he would ask her what it was called and then she would save it to a list named 'Adams favourites'.
Eve noted that the sun was going down, "is it time to hit the hay?" Adam raised his eyebrow "no, we need to make a fire and sleep…" Eve smirked and shook her head, "where are we going anyway?" Adam ripped of dry branches as he walked noting he was nearly an entire foot taller than her, "Mistral which is where Haven academy is." Adam noted her frown at that knowledge, "um, if you don't mind me asking but you sounded pretty…sure about chasing down and killing your ex, but now you're going in the opposite direction of her, why?" Adam kept a blank face as he said "that's none of your business, if you want you can go back the way we came, by yourself," Adam noticed how she was frightened by that but tried to play it down, "nah I'm good, I was just curious you know, you seem like someone passionate and stubborn, so I just was seeing if your mind had been swayed." Adam smirked now getting a hang off of her words and attitude and being able to see through her 'uncaring' façade and it was because she worried a lot. Adam was returning to Mistral where he could commandeer an aircraft and get into Atlas and back onto his target, hopefully being able to getting the chance to squeeze the life out of her this time.
Adam learned when they finally got to Mistral that there was no place quite like it in her world, and found it beautiful how it was built into the mountain with waterfalls and the scenery; she swooned over it like a woman with a baby. Adam put a hand on her shoulder "calm down woman," Adam steered her to the 'lesser' part of Mistral where he could get clothes and a gun suitable for her. When Adam informed her of that she beamed a smile and spoke up excitedly "I'm totally down for this, we'll be like partners in crime, Adam and Eve taking on the world…" Adam looked at her and she showed a shocked expression and a blush, "no I didn't mean it like that!" Adam was confused, "what is wrong with you now," something about what she said sounded wrong to her apparently; Adam noticed her taking notice of his miss-understanding and she quickly used it to get out of what she said. "Nothing, but I am totally down for this adventure, I've never had no much fun in my life," Adam held a deadpan look, he learned to stop taking her seriously "you nearly froze to death," he mentioned she still smiled "I know and it was still awesome," "you have a sad life if you think nearly dying is fun." Eve waved her finger at him, "you only say that because you experience this all the time, survival and near death brings adrenaline with it and that shit is addicting, so it makes one enjoy adventures and humans are fast learners and adapt to it accordingly, so I may take something away from this….when I finally get back home, I wonder if my mum is worried or maybe no time passes when I am here, hmm." Adam left her to her musings which she seemed to do a lot, she begins by talking to him and then goes off track and onto something else just talking to whoever can hear her or herself.
Eve looked at the clothes and pulled out a sports bra, and yoga like pants and knee high flat boots, with fingerless gloves and a long over coat that was black with long sleeves and the back being more like a tail coat. He wondered if he should have mentioned it was going to be cold where they were going but he shrugged his shoulders knowing she would find out sooner or later.
The guns were not what Eve expected she knew her rifles and hand gun's those were what she was trained to use, and used to working with…but they were not these guns in front of her, yeah they looked similar, but were not the same, bullets were basic unless they were filled with dust. The clerk looked excited like he knew he had customers and the stall was out in the open like it was normal to sell weapons, but she guessed it was because of the world having grim. Eve took a step back and whispered close to Adam "these are nothing like the guns I trained with in my world," "hey young lady, can I help ya?" the clerk cut Eve off, she smiled and looked to Adam who was happy to watch her suffer through this after nearly making his ears bleed with her voice on their trek to Mistral. "Ah yes I am after a gun," "well you came to the right place, what type?" she smiled "would I be able to test them before I buy?" The clerk considered it, and nodded "I don't see a problem with that, pick out what you wish to try." Eve decided that seeing as he was not helping but was paying she would make sure he paid a hefty amount, she even considered getting more than one gun.
Eve noticed hand guns much like a 9mm and also like desert eagles, which was very similar to the ones she had back home, they even came in doubles, "I want to try those no dust thank you," and Eve noticed a rifle that was small but had a big scope on it, it reminded her of a Ruger Precision Rifle, "and that one, please," "ohh, good picks, out the back we have a shooting range, follow me." Eve and Adam did and realised that the 'back' of the shop was just wilderness, that had targets set up at all distances, he passed her the 9mm looking one as he called it a basic hand cannon, Eve shot a few times and adjusted for better accuracy, she wasn't too fussed on that type, next was the desert eagle ones. The clerk informed them of their name but she ignored it she was simply going to refer to them as her guns name back home. They were extremely similar to the guns, that she flew through the bullets and did a quick reload on both she enjoyed them greatly, "wow, I think you found your gun," Eve continued trying the rifle, it was a hand held but also lay down for better precision. Eve noticed it was lighter than she expected, and had little recoil, she noticed it took up to ten bullets if a large enough cartridge was purchase, with an action bolt that allowed her to manually load the next bullet, she turned to the clerk with her answers.
"I want this rifle, a few ten pack cartridge and bullets, also I want two of these with bullets and cartridges too, oh and I want holsters and a weapons belt too, he's paying." Eve quickly pointed over her shoulder at Adam when she finished putting in her order, and the clerks eyes lit up. She had no clue how the money worked in this world, but she didn't miss the frowning lips and she was sure his hand was itching to strangle her, but he would be lonely without her as a sidekick. Adam had thought she would purchase a simple rifle, but no…she had to get three dam guns and pricy ones at that with extra ammo and cartridges, oh and then holsters and what not, he was not happy considering they needed food and water and to steal a ship. However Adam had to admit she was good with a gun, she only missed with the first one, they allowed her to be close or far away when shooting too. She ended up with a belt of bullets and the holsters for what she chose to call desert eagles on her outer thighs with extra ammo put in attached leather pockets on the back of her belt and her rifle came in a strapped bag with all its belongings but it could unfold out to a little mat that she can lay down on with doing more precision work. She looked happy and if he looked a little closer he was sure she was happy with nearly empting his pockets out, "thanks for the weapons partner~" 'oh yes she was enjoying this.
Adam was then bombarded with Eve telling him information about why she named her guns and how they were similar and different to the ones she had back home in her world, so the rifle was called Ruger, she didn't complain about having to carry them around either, thank god for that, Adam counted his blessings now. Eve was enjoying her other worldly experience, she noticed that the money here was called Lien and it was coloured cards that made up a certain amount but that there were also pennies and smaller change so like notes and coins in her world, it was different, but cool! Eve felt like a bad ass, with her new outfit, she only ever imagined dressing like this if she was to ever cos play like those people did in America and Japan, apparently it was really big over there.
Adam was at least happy that she refused the dust she had learned from listening to him about this world, he wondered if she believed his words because of his brand mark, which he now had a proper leather mask covering it properly. Eve took in his new mask and smiled "wow looking good boss," Adam passed her one too, and she looked at it surprised it was for the lower face, it was black with red designs on it, made of a smooth and thick leather, and covered the line of her jaw and her nose stopping under her eyes. She put it on out of curiosity. Honestly Adam got it because he wanted to muffle her words and get some peace and quiet, however he noticed it made the blue of her eyes pop, and he noticed she had put her long black wavy hair up into a pony tail using some of her hair to make a hair tie. When he looked at her everything she wore was black, she had no tattoos showing and she looked 'awesome' if he was a kid and saw her, but he really had the desire to put a red rose on the back of her jacket, like his, mainly because she was now his follower and when she called him boss he felt like he was the high leader once again.
Eve didn't know a huge amount about this world but she did know that Faunus were treated terribly and Adam was once the leader of said group looking for their rights, meanwhile also working for someone who wanted the relics which a certain bunch of people felt needed to hide them in schools…with children…it made no sense and made the adults sound stupid who does that, anyway? Eve knew that the girls were on the opposite side, and Adam had once let Blake go and she came back with her own army and took his forces from him, she didn't know how she managed that as he was kicking her arse. So she figured that he had multiple reasons for wanting to kill her such as breaking his heart, taking his power and organisation from him and then continuing to breathe apparently, so he was going after her, which meant Atlas and Atlas meant SDC. Eve thought that the true evil in this world was the SDC especially seeing the mark they left on him and hearing about the way they ran a business just put a bad taste in her mouth.
Adam asked her point blank "what do you think about killing?" Eve was trained to hunt and shoot and her family were German, Russian and Australian it was a dumb question, things had to die for others to live and death was an inevitable fact of life, and if he meant fighting like war and conflicts, again it was inevitable and she would rather win and live with blood on her hands knowing they would have done the same to her if they were good enough of course. To say Adam was pleased with her views was an understatement, but also typical of humans seeing death as a normal affair, but she was an alien and that helped him look pass her being a human. The mistral planes were very different to what she was used too, and she found that they were taking one of the smallest to try and sneak into Atlas, Adam was very honest with her, maybe because he was happy she hadn't spoken so much since she put on the muzzle like mask.
Eve saw what Adam meant when he gave her a mask, she could see it every time she annoyed him with her chatter, she always chattered when she was nervous or happy or mad, you get the picture, "oh my god, yous have floating fucking islands, it's like Avatar, how freaking cool!" Adam could tell she was excited even with her mouth piece he could clearly make out her words, and he sighed "yeah well these will hold many flying type of grim, so we need to be careful and stay unnoticed unless we want to be ripped to pieces by Lancers," Eve looked to him. "What are they?" Adam spoke up still paying attention to the radio, radar and all around him as they quietly cruised through at a lower altitude, "a type of bee like grim, they hook with a detachable stinger and once they all have one part of the ship they pull it into different directions destroying it." Adam finally looked over noticing her eyes "dam, fuck that," Adam smirked at her vulgar language; he noticed her whole person was extremely expressive and her eyes were no different.
"So what food you get?" Eve was craving chocolate or ice-cream, she knew he wouldn't have any but she still wanted something sweet as she was close to her period, and she froze not knowing how a woman's menstrual worked in this world. "I got enough for five days three bars each a day and a litre water bottle each, don't you start eating it all for yourself you shellfish thing." Eve rolled her eyes, Adam had taken to calling her that since she bought 'too many' guns, he still paid for it though, Eve noticed the bars were like energy ones like granola bars from home, after seeing them she put them away and sat in her seat putting on the belt. "I wanted to ask you something, so hopefully this is not gonna be awkward as fuck," Adam looked to her and noticed her eyes showed nervous and dreaded embarrassment, which made him curious. "I am a woman, right," Adam frowned "okay, and…" "and woman get something every month that men do not, that may require certain items from a shop to not make a mess," her words were awkward as fuck and she just hoped he understood and caught on to what she meant.
Adam smirked remembering when she told him that jackets did eat humans in her world, he was gonna make her suffer as he simply looked at her, "no, explain" her eyes showed pain like that was not what she wanted to hear from him, "well…" Eve sat in silence for a long time and just said "don't worry I'll figure something out." Adam sighed that had not been what he wanted to hear, he now felt frustrated that she didn't squirm but he noticed that the light embarrassed blush on the top of her cheeks that he could only just make out at the top of her lower face piece. Adam remembered that she had only blushed one other time as she stated 'Adam and Eve take on the world,' he smirked he could just bring that up again. "Say Eve," she perked up noticing he used her name instead of saying alien, human, woman and her favourite being selfish, "yeah Adam?" "Why did you react the way you did when you said and I quote 'Adam and Eve take on the world?' you then spluttered like a teen and then blushed?" She was frowning under her mask, and she was again blushing, "no reason," "tell me," he commanded wanting to get something out of her about this at least.
"Blush me, pfft no I didn't" "yes you did," "nah, it was from temperature change from cold to warm," she pathetically lied, "you're a terrible liar, I won't judge you," his tone of voice said otherwise. Eve rolled her eyes getting annoyed and wondered since when he had been so dam persistent, her frustrations made her drop her embarrassment and she just said it outright not wanting to give him a rise from her reactions, she knew he enjoyed her uncomfortableness, he was actually very easy to see through. "If you must know, in my world there is a religious story that said man came to be by the first man and woman created by god getting together and having many children that being human kind, and they were named Adam and Eve," Eve mumbled the last part, "what was that, I couldn't hear you for once," he annoyed her enough as she looked directly at his face "I said! Their names were Adam and Eve!" She crossed her arms huffing and looking annoyed out the front window and sitting heavily back in her seat after leaning over to yell at him.
Adam smirk "and what you instantly thought you and I would get together," he laughed she frowned frustrated and a little hurt, she had no problem with admitting he was attractive if a little personality work would need to be done, but he was saying she was not and it was laughable to him. She had not been thinking that when she said the phrase 'Adam and Eve' but it was instantly what her dirty mind trailed to and now she knew he thought her ugly or fat, she was hurt. She knew she was beautiful and sexy, she wasn't blind or stupid, as she looked to him "fuck off, you would be lucky to have a woman like me," he laughed again only louder this time "whatever you think, but sorry sweetheart you aint my type" Eve sat there with her mouth open, not that he could tell, she was highly offended by that. She looked out the right side of the front windscreen and refused to look or talk to him, Adam smirked he was sure he upset her but he finally had some silence, if all he had to do was state she unattractive to shut her up then he will, but honestly for a human and alien she was beautiful in face and body, if only her mouth was shut more often.
