"Zephyr have you ever been betrayed?" he asked.
Zephyr sat still for while before answering "Once and it lead to the downfall of my kind. I am one of the two last Dragon Faunus the other is the traitor, my brother. So yes I know the sting of betrayal" he finished.
"What was his name?" Adam asked
"The traitors name is Sirocco, he told some pitiful humans where our tribal camp and they killed everyone with their mechanical soldiers, I was an outcast so I survived while my own kin perished" Zephyr roared as he punch the wall leaving a massive dent in the stone "Sirocco will pay" He continued "And not just for her" he muttered under his breath
"I see" Adam replied solemnly "How long did it take for the feeling of distrust take to leave?"
"It will never leave" Came the response "Sirocco betrayed us when we were 13, some 10 or so years ago." Zephyr growled "So what else can I help with or do we have another mission?"
"We are being kept of mission till they can confirm our loyalty" Adam explained
"I have no loyalty to the Black Fang but I have loyalty to you alone so if you want to raise to power then I will help or if you want to stay a lackey to the old git then I will do so as well" Zephyr said grinning
Adam laughed "I will hold you to it" he sat straighter "I am planning to take over the White Fang all of it, but before I do I need to take over the Black Fang"
"Coup d'état?" Zephyr guessed to which Adam nodded "We need more followers and I know just how to do it" Zephyr grinned
"How?" Adam started to ask before a knock at the door interrupted him
Zephyr rose from the bed and walked to the door opening it to reveal a lieutenant with a chainsaw on his back. "What do you want" he demanded, "You have both been summoned by the security committee" Zephyr then grabbed the lieutenant by the neck and pinned him against a wall then in a low-pitch voice he shouted "GOL HAH DOV" and a purple ring of aura shot forth and the lieutenant stopped squirming and spoke again "My lords, how may I be of use"
After hearing this Zephyr let the enthralled fighter go before leaning against the wall slightly out of breath "That was a Thu'um or Dragon shout it uses a lot of stamina to use and I can't chain multiple Thu'ums as they each have a cooldown" he offered as an explanation to Adam
"Can that be used in anyone?" he asked
"People with wills strong then mine can resist it" Zephyr said standing again "We should go"
The lieutenant went first and lead the pair down to the Security Committee Interrogation Cells or SCIC for short, each cell measured 7 foot by 4 foot with an 6.5 foot ceiling and 2 foot thick walls between each cell which was half as thick as the 20 or so holding cells, 3 floors below that were 6 foot by 4 foot with a 6.5 foot celling. Showing Adam to one cell and Zephyr to another the Lieutenant stood there waiting
-Adams cell-
Adam sat in the blue chair on one side of the room thinking to himself "They are stupid but I understand why, however, I have my doubts this is solely about Blake" Adam was interrupted when a figure cloaked in black and dark grey robes entered the room. "A senior Interrogator, I am in for a treat" Adam scoffed
"Adam Taurus, age 21, White Fang member for?" asked the Senior Interrogator
"11 years" Adam answered
"Correct, now what is your relationship with one Blake Belladonna?" inquired the Senior Interrogator
"Former teacher and lover" Adam spat the last word like it was poison
"And with one Zephyr Nox Eturnus?" Came the next question
"Boss and friend" Adam chuckled "If this how you interrogate people then its a wonder that it works"
"Its light as you are not an Enemy" responded the Interrogator
"I won't betray the Fang like the Belladonnas" Adam spoke plainly to the hooded man who nodded
"What do you think and know about Zephyr Nox Eturnus" he asked Adam
"What I think of him, Zephyr may be a cold hard killer however, he is loyal to me and the Fang. His bloodlust in battle is immense." Adam explained "I know he is 23 and has a brother apart from that I know nothing." Adam lie
"How does he fight, weapons, styles, battle habits, skills, Semblance?" The interrogator pressed
"Ruthlessly, His hands, A dash forward, and decapitation. Excellent CQC and Unnamed fighting, Don't know, might be speed or fast healing or slowing down time" Adam pushed back
"I see" The cloaked man stood up and turned to leave before Adam spoke up "They aren't working together Blake was terrified by Zephyr and his seeming lack of morals"
"That could be an act to deceive the Fang" The Interrogator said taking a more relaxed position against the wall
"Can to expand on that" Adam asked honestly curious with the proposition
"Blake was a spy to collect details on our structure, combat effectiveness, methodology, and so on and now the spy is gone and in her place is the 'bomb' waiting to destroy us" The interrogator emphasised the word bomb with air quotes
"That's pointless, simply have to bomb be the spy and speed things up, also Blake was a child when she started and child make terrible spies, give them a sweet and they will spill" Adam countered
The Senior Interrogator left the room leaving Adam alone in the Grey/Beige room
"That was pointless I hope Zephyr isn't doing anything stupid" Adam thought to himself "But what is his semblance? It is that Thu'um, no that uses stamina but from what he said there are many shouts he can use so not a semblance" Adam pondered to himself
-Zephyrs Cell-
"I hate low ceilings" Zephyr said under his breath as he sat on the flimsy blue chair that quickly buckled and broke "Damn"
"Are you Zephyr Nox Eturnus?" came another voice in front of Zephyr
Looking up he saw a slim, short, and rather fresh-faced interrogator who smiled at him warmly
"Yeah who's asking" Zephyr said standing up only to smack his head into the ceiling extracting a small giggle from the Interrogator "I'm Camilla" The woman said as she handed her chair, a sturdy metal one, to Zephyr who sat in it a muttered a small thanks to Camilla "Your file said you would rather kill me and get out of here" She said still smiling
"You're not a nuisance, anyway Adam told me to 'Play Nice' so I am" Zephyr explained
"About Adam, tell me what do you think of him? His a nasty bit of work I think, so dangerous and now Blake is gone he is sure to get worse" Camilla rambled
"Adam is a great leader, strong, reliable, and he lets me act how I like on missions as long as I don't endanger the mission success" Zephyr argued back "But that cat, she held him back"
"You sound like you really like having Adam as your boss" Camilla spoke softly
"I do, but as I sais before that cat was just slowing him down and holding him back" Zephyr said with a hint of anger in his voice
"By 'Cat' do you mean Blake, why do think she held Adam back?" Camilla asked innocently
"Yeah her, and She held him back by acting as a moral stick-in-the-mud" Zephyr answered
"How so?" came the response from Camilla
"Adam was going to remove some useless human lovers but she did her 'They're Faunus too' speech and Adam let them live, I on the other hand didn't so her speech was as pointless as the lives of traitors, which she is now one meaning I get to hunt her head" He chuckled darkly at the last statement
"Where they unarmed?" Camilla asked seemingly unfazed by the laugh
"No, just beheaded or do mean before if so then yes they had no weapons" Zephyr clarified
"Well that's all the questions I had about all of that, so personal question, what's your semblance?" she asked
"The more people who know about it the weaker it is, so I would rather not say" Zephyr said "Can I go or what"
"Free to go, but first can I say thank you for being cooperative" Camilla then blushed "You were my first so thank you for being gentle" This just caused Zephyr to raise an eyebrow before turning to leave and saying "Next time I won't be so gentle" he chuckled as he left the room leaving an embarrassed Camilla standing there thinking "I might like if rough of its you" before she darted of to her chambers after dropping off her report to the High Overseer.
