To those who have requested a sequel to Unexpected Adventure, I present to you; Unexpected Adventure 2.
I want to thank everyone who supported the first story with all my heart! I really couldn't have done it without you.
Ezreal and all the other Champions belong to Riot Games.
Mission semi-successful. Enemy troops were no where to be found within their region. Searching the designated war zone, not a single enemy could be spotted. The ground was untouched and there wasn't a sign of anyone entering this zone within quite some time. Shiva tried to find fault about the briefing, but none came to mind. Ordering her squad to fall back on the mission, Shiva turned in the report to her commanding officer as he informed her of the possible leader against all these breaches.
"Alex Rojas's descendent might be one of the suspects. It's just as good as a guess as anyone else, but I would like you to ask your brother. He might have a clue or two about this whole scenario. Besides, I am most certain he would be thrilled to hear about this. Take him this file for further examination" he spoke.
"...I'm really hoping it isn't true" said Shiva retrieving the handed documents. "I have other matters to attend to, please excuse me".
"You're excused" he said.
Right outside of the tent, to her left; the man who she thought she left behind. Daring not to speak in such an open place, Shiva guided the blond to her small office where she only found herself walking in circles. To her disbelief, Ezreal stood in front of her. He watched her with a small chuckle as he allowed her to process this in her mind before finally bursting out in laughter.
"I can't believe you still can't believe I'm here" said Ezreal.
"No, no, no, no, I just...why? WHY would you come here? This place isn't like Valoran! At all! Your gauntlet? Are you able to do anything here?" asked Shiva all at once.
"I have my gauntlet, could do everything just fine. I figured it isn't like back home, but it isn't too hard to adjust to. No one is really a threat here. A simple 'I loved you enough' would've done it" said Ezreal.
Out of questions to ask, Shiva embraced Ezreal before hugging him as tight as she possibly could.
"I did miss you...so much..."said Shiva. "I really did".
"I did too...it's why I followed you in after you jumped, but I ended up somewhere else..."said Ezreal. "Took me a while to find you, but then I remembered all those stories you used to tell me about your home and just pieced it in. I'll admit getting in was a bit difficult, but replacing your previous scout wasn't so hard once I told them my background".
"...please don't tell me you told them about Piltover's underground tunnels..." said Shiva.
"I figured why not" said Ezreal.
"EZ! They'll eventually figure it out as a lie! There is no such place called Piltover anywhere in this world!" said Shiva.
"It's not what they told me. Apparently there is. Not to jinx it, but there was a guy that looked pretty close to me who managed to do the same task I did" said Ezreal.
"...you've got to be kidding me..." said Shiva.
"Maybe you should know your history a little better" said Ezreal smirking.
"Not funny. Anyway, I have to leave and go visit my brother over some important matters. We'll talk later" said Shiva.
"So we're gonna see your family? Can't wait to meet 'em" said Ezreal.
"I didn't say 'we', did I? This is important stuff I need to discuss in confidentiality" said Shiva. "There is absolutely NO way I am allowing you to come, do you hear? NO WAY".
Boarding a camouflaged Hummer which would escort her back home, the ride felt like forever, especially when Ezreal sneaked his way into the truck. Giving him the silent treatment the whole ride, Ezreal couldn't help but have a grin over his face. Dropped off at the driveway to her brother's home, Shiva turned to face Ezreal with a waving finger.
"I'm still upset at you for tagging along, so the least you could do is keep quiet while we discuss" said Shiva.
"Alright, alright. I promise" said Ezreal holding a hand up while his other crossed his chest.
Taking a deep breath, Shiva loudly knocked on the door as she quickly turned to face Ezreal with a scold. Keeping his distance from her, he smiled deviously before the door opened before them. Behind the door stood her brother, Gary. Noticing his sister first, the young man behind her caught his interest almost instantly as he proceeded to greet them.
"Sis, welcome home. Ah, this must be the special friend who gave you the scarf, no? Come in, come in" he said welcoming them in.
"Brother! That's not what I came here to discuss about!" growled Shiva as she stormed in.
Leading them to the living room where Simon had finished his drink on the sofa, Gary sat across from him as he picked up his own drink. Shiva sat down with Ezreal.
"Simon, I came last time and you weren't here. Nice to see you're still alive" said Shiva.
"I've got at least a couple more years of life in me, probably more if I weren't risking my liver in the process" said Simon.
"Ha ha ha...very funny...but I doubt that's what you'll die from anyway. Also, I have something important to discuss to you both about, it's about-" Shiva was cut off by Gary.
"So, you're the one who dared win my sister's heart. I bet it took you a good amount of effort to even break her to talk, am I right?" chuckled Gary.
"Brother! I am not here to talk about my personal life! I'm here to talk about-" again she was cut off.
"Honestly, she was forced to talk to me at the start, but things didn't exactly turn out well. Eventually we got along, but it did take some time before we finally confessed" said Ezreal making himself comfortable.
"Don't make it a team effort. One of you said it before the other. I'm guessing it was her. While she may reek of testosterone most of the time, she can't hide the fact that she's still a woman, at least I'm assuming" laughed Gary with the others.
"HEY!"yelled Shiva.
"You're right, she was the one who first confessed" said Ezreal.
"Hah! Even juicier than expected! How did you two meet? How where you forced to interact? I'm assuming it was something she couldn't do and had to rely on you, right?" said Gary.
"I'm voting for unknown territory" said Simon.
"It was, actually. It was an odd situation indeed. Had to guide her back home in the end" said Ezreal.
"Speaking of which, what's your role in the military, eh?" asked Gary.
"Recently got promoted to scout. We finished some task they handed to us but from the looks of it...it was a 50/50" said Ezreal.
"What were you assigned to do?" asked Simon.
Shiva took the opportunity to toss Rojas' file on the table and slam her palm on the wooden frame.
"Rojas" said Shiva.
Both parties were silent as Gary picked up the file and skimmed through it. Simon sat up from his adjusted seat to sit next to Gary and examine the papers with him. Shiva leaned to the edge of the couch as she stared upon her brother and his friend as they sorted through the papers. All while Ezreal didn't feel as chipper like earlier, the atmosphere had changed. None of this particularly concerned him as he leaned back on the couch and relaxed. Then again, Shiva was one to take work seriously, especially since she had returned to her home world. Gary rested the pile of papers on the table as he leaned forward with his fingers entwining right under his nose.
"I haven't heard of Rojas in ages, but from the looks of it..." said Gary consuming his alcohol. "There isn't much to worry about. You may want to look into it just in case though".
"...and here I thought it would be something worth my while" said Shiva grinning. "I guess we should be heading out now. Let me grab a couple of things from upstairs".
Leaving her comfortable spot on the couch, Shiva headed upstairs to what would be her old room. Relaxing with his friend, Gary locked eyes with Ezreal.
"Ezreal, was it? Mind if I ask a favor of you. I want you to take care of her for me. Being a brother has its limits and I'm sure since you'll be spending quite a bit of your time with her, to keep an eye on her from making irrational mistakes. But I want you to take care of her since I can't be there for her like I used to" said a sincere Gary.
They cared for her dearly, Ezreal noticed. Shiva had explained how she was always occupied with work to bother with anyone, but it seems it didn't stop her family from worrying and caring about her. Replying with a simple smile, Ezreal stood up as he reached over to shake hands with him.
"You can count on me. I'll keep her safe" said Ezreal.
"You're a good kid" said Gary.
Shiva returned moments later to find them ready to escort them out of the house. Hugging her brother and Simon before parting from them, she took Ezreal by hand as they walked out of the house to flag down a taxi to take them to her home. The files were left at Gary's home for further analysis. Upon arrival to Shiva's home, a small smile lit up Shiva's face as she was finally home with someone special to her.
"Welcome home. I'm sure we'll get picked up first thing tomorrow, so be prepared to be woken up early. There's food in the kitchen if you're hungry, and I'm sure you could find everything else no problem" said Shiva.
Shiva walked to her empty room as she sat down on the edge of the bed, removing her clothes as she prepared herself for bed. Sitting down next to her, Ezreal felt a lack of affection from her, he blamed himself only. It was quiet, both sitting next to each other without saying a word. Ezreal looked over to Shiva with a soft smile as she could only stare at the floor, avoiding eye contact. Wasn't this what she wanted? Wasn't he the reason as to why she felt so good? Didn't she do all of this for him? Just as she was finally able to part her lips to speak, Ezreal took the initiative to tackle her onto the bed and lay on top of her and lean in for a kiss. Pressing herself against him to deepen the kiss, Shiva sniffled as she refrained herself from crying.
"I missed you so much! Nothing felt the same without you around..." sniffled Shiva.
"It's why I followed you here...I didn't want to leave you alone. It wouldn't be the same without you back in Valoran either" said Ezreal.
"I love you, Ezreal" said Shiva.
"I love you too..." said Ezreal kissing her one last time.
That night they shared a night of passion and romance, something they had held back on since they discovered the love they had between each other. Shiva was happier than she's ever been her whole life. She finally had someone to love, someone she could share her life with.
