Chapter 2- Recovery Time

5 weeks after the augmentation surgeries to save Adam´s life.

The process of the augmentations to save Adam Jensen had finished the last week, and none of the three teams could get to see the Huntsman, but from what they heard by Weiss thanks to a message from himself, Adam had managed to survive the operations and was now recovering on a intensive cares unit,thanks to that the Schnee heiress´s mood had improved greatly in the week as well as Blake´s mood had also improved, just now teams RWBY,EMRL and JNPR were in combat practice class with professor Goodwitch, who was putting them in spar duels, first one had been marek vs ren, which ended in a tie,second one was yang vs nora that ended in yang´s favor,the blonde brawler had done a great job avoiding nora´s hammer attacks and do a reversal on them, after that it was blake vs laura, which was currently going on and it had been going on for a while now, the two faunus huntresses moved with agile movements,they throwed attacks at each other but they were either easily avoiding or blocking them,as Gambol Shroud and Cleopatra´s Blades hitted,sparks flew around and after putting strength to see who would back up, them the two jumped back several steps and both looked at their aura bars to see how their aura was doing, both had their bars in the yellow zone.

The two them looked into each other´s eyes and they dashed forward,continuing their attacks, now with combinations of swift kicks, both were panting and to finish it the two once again dashed and realized one direct attack,after a while laura fell to her knees while using her spear to support herself,blake had won the last match for today´s combat class,the faunus had walked closer to the other fallen faunus and helped her back on her feet,they did friendly smiles at each other and them they turned to look at professor Goodwitch like everyone else in the room.

¨thats all for today´s class everyone,i want Teams RWBY,EMRL to stay behind, the rest of you can all go back to your dorms and enjoy the rest of the day.¨ she said while patiently waiting for all of the students to go away exept for the 3 teams that she had asked to stay, after they were gone she looked at the teams who were looking back at her with curiosity, the two teams´s leaders, Ruby and Marek walked forward while the rest stayed back waiting.

¨why do you asked for us to stay professor goodwitch?¨ ruby was the first to ask,getting a nod from the other team´s leader.

¨i asked you all to stay cause i have some information about Adam Jensen,during the lesson i got a message from , telling me that is now stable and in condition to be visited on the times he is awake, i wanted to inform you all since you are friends of him but what i know so,have a good day.¨ the teacher finished and them walked out of the room to do some other things she had to.

The two teams stayed there in silence compleatly stunned from the news that had told them until¨so…what are we waiting for?! I WANNA SEE MY COUSIN!¨ weiss suddenly exclaimed in loud voice,making yang jump into marek´s arms in a cartoonish way while wrapping her arms around his neck,they say weiss run out of the room in a white blurr,the others sweat dropped at her sudden change of behavor but dismissed it and quickly followed suit behind the schnee heiress, who was obviously heading towards the landing area for the airships, after a run the 2 teams were finally there, waiting for an airship to come pick them up.

After waiting for a while the 2 teams finally boarded a Airship that arrived and it made its way towards the city of Vale, the flight was silent but ther was at least a good atmosphere between the group of friends,they were happy to know that Jensen was still alive, but they weren´t ready for the surprise that was waiting for them when they arrive to his room at the hospital, for now they were just relaxing and waiting, yang and marek were sleeping together,weiss patiently waited,blake was reading one of her books to distract herself, and ruby talked with raimundo,laura and evan about weapons. After several hours of travel the airship arrived but it wasn´t the landing pad they had been waiting for initially, the two Teams noticed it after getting off the bullhead that brought them,the first thing they noticed was the golden lights of the building´s windows,second was the security guards that stood still around the landing pad and in the road that lead inside the building,they were compleatly confused about why they had been brought here.

¨we are in…¨ blake started.

¨Sarif Industries´s Headquaters…¨ weiss finished, getting surprised gasps from the rest of them, one of the security guards walked up to them, wearing the costume of the sarif security forces that consisted of a light grey uniform, that had red lines on the shoulders, with a black colored bulletproof vest over the uniform and had the words: Sarif. On them, black combat boots, black gloves and to finish a cap that had combination of red and black, every guard was also carrying assault rifles, which obviously made Ruby start to drool at the sight of those weapons.

¨hello students, we´ve been specting your arrival, himself told us, please follow me inside and i´ll take you to him.¨ the teenagers nodded and started following the lead guard inside bu ton the other hand a certian red hooded-scythe wielder noticed the guards weapons.

¨oooh! those are the new FR-27 assault rifles..With the modification of Target-Seeking bullets!…not even the Atlas military has them yet!¨ the scythe wielder exclaimed,drooling and having stars on her eyes,she was about to walk towards one of the guards but a hand from Marek grabbing her by the hood of her cloak stopped her from doing so,making ruby whine

¨hold on your horses Rubes,we are not here for the weapons.¨ yang said,getting another whine from ruby.

¨yeah, remember we are here to see Adam¨ marek said, getting a nod from ruby but also yet another whine from her,she wanted to see the FR-27´s so baad.

¨okay…¨ she said and followed the rest inside the main building,once the two teams were inside they were all amazed at the view infront of them,the building was highly technological,to the point it put others they had seen in shame,everything was clean and in order, they could see workers and other employees walking around,humans,faunus and even augs working in the same place,they didnt have any tense atmosfere or anything like that,actually it looked like the perfect work place for the three groups,needless to say,blake and laura were fascinated by such sight,weiss and the others were amazed as well from it,as they waited, they could also see guards as well,the security in the place had gotten tighter since weeks ago,as they walked around they noticed an office that had a name on its door,one that they easily recognized.

¨Adam Jensen…¨ weiss read outloud,the schnee heiress looked at the guard who had brought them here.¨can i go into his office..?¨

¨normally we shouldnt allow it but..You are family of the Boss and your father´s company is allied to us so..Yes you can go inside, just two persons thought please, his office is not that big.¨the guard said and he opened the door for weiss, she walked inside, followed by blake, the others stayed outside of jensen´s office waiting for weiss and blake.

Inside Jensen´s office.

¨its like i imagined how it would be.¨ said weiss.

¨you mean the place being in order?¨ blake asked as she walked around the small office

¨yes he always liked keeping his stuff in order¨ she sighed.¨..you know, anytime i was alone, he was always there for cheer me up,to always up to play anything and never minded when i had my spoiled brat moments.¨ she said as she walked to one of the walls of the office,it had jensen´s diploma he recived after graduating from Beacon Academy, blake looked at it too and she had a small smile,there were also several pictures hanging around the diploma,she looked at the first one, it consisted of a picture of two younger looking Weiss and Adam, both of them had smiles on their faces and seemed like they were having fun on some sort of park, on the next picture the two of them looked a little bit older,on it both of them had practice combat clothes and they were holding rapier like swords.

¨you and him used to practice combat?¨ blake asked out of curiosity.

¨yes, and most of the times he won, there were sometimes where i managed to defeat him, but it was never easy to beat Adam, he teached me most of the techniques i know¨ she responded with a smile.

¨thats nice...what else did you usually do with him?¨ blake asked while looking at the other photos, one of them was of Jensen with his team, they all had smiles on the pictures and were posing next to the body of a large Nevermore.

¨well,even thought he is my cousin,he actually was more like a brother for me,since my older sister was also really busy working with company.¨ weiss was also looking at the same pic as blake.¨i think the rest of his team was sent to vacuo for a mission while he was at recovery¨ them they looked at adam´s desk,it had a computer and everything else in order,they noticed a metal box on it,weiss walked closer to it and opened,revealing inside adam´s personal weapons,Order & Chaos,the two were two Zenith pistols,both were painted black with the words order and chaos engraved on them, they had the laser sight and armor piercing attachment and actually both pistols could into melee weapons,like most huntsman´s weapons, these two could turn into two deadly kukri machetes, Adam had used these two to slay countless grimm creatures,weiss and blake could only look amazed at the two weapons inside the box,even thought the were not gun freaks like ruby they could notice how Adam had treated the two pistols with great care,they were clean and in perfect state.

¨it impresses me the state of them, even ruby would be jealous of it.¨

¨indeed.¨ weiss said and them closed the box again,the two heard a voice calling them from behind,they turned to see the leader security guard and the rest of the group, he was doing some hand signs to the two to get back to the group, and they did so,after getting out of adam´s office they saw a man,one that they all had seen in tv,he was wearing his bussiness suit and had its sleevess rolled back to is forearms,making highly visible his augmented arm,he had a calm expression on his face as he looked at the Teams of young huntsmen and huntresses,it was Sarif himself, everyone from the two teams looked at the man in awe and admiration.

¨Teams RWBY and EMRL, i´ve been waiting for you, i guess your all here to see Adam, was quick in delivering the message.¨ he made a gesture for them to follow him, the two teams followed quickly as he got inside a elevator and waited for the two teams,as they got inside,he pressed a boton and the doors closed, the elevator started moving.

¨so how is Adam doing?¨ weiss was the first one to ask.

¨he is doing well, but he hasn´t been really that accepting of his own augmentations, so far hes only aware of his arms´s augmentations, today he will be sent back home to continue his recovery¨ hearing that shocked the others, they knew Adam had been injured badly,but to the point of needing augmentations?,not like they were against them but it has been a great shock.

¨so...How many Augmentations did Adam needed?.¨ Blake asked slowly as the rest of team RWBY and team EMRL looked at sarif.

¨cybernetic arms, knee-down cybernetc legs, retinal prothesis, brain and spinal augmentations, as well as others that included the replacement of several of his internal organs, including his lungs as well as heart and pericardium implants,in short, his body was heavily damaged, so a lot of it was augmented during the surgeries to save his life,he was equiped with military grade augs.¨ this revelation only added more shock to the one that the two teams already had

¨now that is..Really surprising, i never guessed he would need that amount of augmentations.¨ marek spoke up, being the first to get out of the shock.

¨well,we did that we needed to do to save his life.¨ sarif responded and them the elevator finally came to a stop,the doors opened to reveal the Medical Section of the Sarif Industries Headquaters.¨follow me please,i´ll take you to his room¨ he said,getting off of the elevator being followed by the two teams, as they walked forward the teams looked at their surroundings, people who had just recived augmentations succesfully filled the hallways of the hospital, from Humans to Faunus, it was really true them, blake and laura were happy to see that this one was one of the few companies that actually cared for the faunus people too, ruby was amazed with the sight,as well as her older sister, marek,raimundo and evan were as well.

¨man, this is amazing.¨ raimundo exclaimed while whistling

¨no shit dude¨ marek responded to his fellow teammate and friend

¨i-i kinda wonder how it would be to get an augmentation.¨ evan said

¨it must be hard but with the right support they managed to go continue.¨ laura responded to her boyfriend´s question as she turned around looking at him with a smile.

After a several minutes of walking around the hallways they finally reached the room.¨and were we are ladies and gentlemen,i´ll leave you, if you need anything dont hesitate to ask.¨ sarif said and them he walked away,leaving teams RWBY and EMRL alone infront of the door, the name of the door said it clearly: Adam Jensen,without loosing anymore time weiss walked forward opening the door, and she gasped, there he was,sitting on his bed while reading an electronic book, sarif had been right, adam´s arms had now been replaced with two cybernetic arms, she noticed the hexagonal shape on the right side of his forehead, and the metal pieces around his eyes, Adam looked up from his book, and his eyes widened at the sight, he saw his cousin Weiss and Blake, as well as ruby,yang,marek,laura, raimundo and evan,he put the electronic book away and slowly moved out of the bed to walk closer to them.¨guys…its nice to see you all aga-¨ he could not finish as weiss wrapped her arms around him and began sobbing, he smiled and gently began to pet weiss´s head waiting for her to calm down.¨its nice to see you all again…and specially you weiss.¨

¨you dolt! Dont you ever worry me like that again! I would never forgive you if you leaved me alone!..¨ She said finally letting out all she had in, soaking adam´s patient shirt, after a while she had finally calmed down she had sitted on a chair, and the other had made themselves comfortable as well.

¨so how has been since you woke up Adam?¨ blake asked slowly after weiss had calmed down.

¨its been kinda hard, getting used to walk with my new legs and to use my new arms had been difficult but i had managed to relearn it quickly again, and how about you guys how had you been since i last saw you?¨

¨it has been hard as well,we waited any possible news about you..Everyone was really worried,specially me..And blake.¨ weiss said with a small smile, and she looked at blake, who had her eyes widened.

¨y-yeah! Just like weiss says,i-i was worried as well! I mean your such a good friend that doesnts minds that i was white fang and all that!¨ blake exclaimed nervously,that made yang and ruby grin mischievously, while marek and his team had amused expressions on their faces,and the blonde brawler,the scythe wielder and the schnee heiress started teasing poor blake, while marek and his team chatted with Adam about several things,often cracking jokes to light up the gloomy mood they had noticed that had Jensen had,it seemed to work as he was smilling slightly more, the rest also seemed to noticed how blake would blush slightly when trying to talk to him but she managed to make a good conversation with him, before they could realise the time went by and they heard the door open, they all turned in its direction to see .

¨hello again! i see you are doing good today Adam,and i´m glad that you all came to visit him,but Adam is gonna be sent back to his home.¨ David said and after that teams RWBY and EMRL started bidding farewell to Adam, and while they were walking back to the elevator,blake´s scroll sounded,getting a message,she brought it up to see it was a message from ozpin that said: i´ve been asked by to get someone to be with and help him in his recovery time, and since your one of the closest persons to him,you had been choosen ,i hope you have luck on this asignment and by the way i already sent messages to your friends to let them know about this so they dont worry about your absence,good luck and stay vigilant. For a moment blake had a smile on her face, finally she was gonna be able to spent more time alone with Jensen! But them she realised something,she slowly looked up from her scroll and looked at the faces of teams RWBY and EMRL, yang had a grin from ear to ear, weiss had her arms crossed with a arched eyebrow and small evil smile,ruby was also smilling, marek had an amused expression as well as raimundo, evan was being shy about his opinion while laura was giving her thumbs up,like if she was saying: go for it!, in that instant blake´s face became as red as ruby´s cloak.

1 hour later, it was night time already.

After being told by Sarif that he was being sent back home for recovery, and getting a message from Ozpin telling him that Blake would be with him during his time off helping him in anything he needed help with he was with the black cat faunus on Faridah´s VTOL, that was just landing on the landing pad that was on the building where Jensen lives,The Chiron Building a luxurious apartment building,an interesting fact about it is that the Chiron building not only was home of Adam Jensen but also was home to many employees of Sarif Industries, the doors of the malik´s VTOL opened and Adam and Blake got off of it.

¨if you guys need a lift dont hesitate to call me! Good night!¨ faridah said before closing the doors of her VTOL and began taking off, them started speeding away when it was in a good height,after that Blake and Adam walked inside the building and they got into the elevator,going some floors down until they reached the floor where adam´s apartment was, as they were now standing infront of the door of adam´s,blake noticed him tensing.

¨are you okay Adam?¨ the faunus asked slowly

The now Aug sighed as he opened the door and got inside,followed by the faunus.¨not so much..This is really hard...¨ to the faunus it was clear now that when they were at the hospital Adam was holding himself back to not worry even more everyone else

¨you mean the attack and your augmentations?¨ she asked carefully and Adam turned around now looking at her.

¨yes..Being on the edge of death and them waking up finding out half of my body is a machine now,its just not what i was waiting for..i..I Never asked for this!¨ he yelled, while he was tensing up away, but he them realized what he just did and looked at Blake, who looked visibly shocked at adam´s outburst,he tried calming himself down.¨ i need to go to the bathroom for a moment.¨ he said,walking off to his room´s bathroom,leaving an still shocked blake there standing on the living room.

Adam´s POV.

I walked hurriedly to my bathroom and opened the door,i turned on the light of it and opened the sink,letting the water pool between my cybernetic hands, i moved them up letting the water splash my face,i did it again and them closed the sink,making the flow of water stop,after drying my face and hands i looked up on the mirror, them thats when i lost myself, anger and rage that i had never felt before started to take over my mind, greeting my teeth, i just looked at my own reflection, i was now a machine, a fucking machine, thats all that my rage let me think, i let out a roar of mixed feelings, mostly rage,anger and frustration in great amounts, and in the blink of an eye i drove one of my cybernetic fists into the mirror,breaking it into hundreds of pieces,i was breathing heavily and just stayed there,closing my eyes, i reopened them when i heard a gasp and turned to see Blake,covering her mouth with her hands and her eyes had widened in new shock.

Blake´s POV

I was still standing on the living room but the shock from Adam´s outburst was already going down, i had decided to walk to the fridge to get a glass of water,but i stopped the moment i heard adam´s roar of rage, and them i was startled by the sound of something braking,i was afraid that Adam may had hurt himself something and i quickly turned around and ran to the bathroom, and i gasped at the sight, Adam had broken the mirror of his bathroom, and when i looked at his face i could see just how bad he was feeling in the moment, i could hear his heavy and chaotic breathing with my hightened hearing sense, i slowly moved towards Adam,and i slowly wrapped my arms around him,i felt him tensing up and holding his breath,but eventually he calmed down,he collapsed on his knees and i did the same,still hugging him gently yet firmly he was now , i was gently touching his head to comfort him, i felt my shoulder getting soaked, he was crying silently,i hugge him tight and finally decided to start talking.¨its okay Adam..i´m here for you.. i dont care if you are an Aug now,you are still Adam Jensen,you are still a human.¨ i said gently to him, i could hear him mutter weakly, but i recognized the word,it was a Thank you, after that i felt him hugging me tighter too.

Back into Normal point of view.

The Faunus and the Aug stayed like that on the floor of the bathroom for quite a while until Adam had managed to calm down after crying, the comfort that blake had given him helped him to calm down quite faster, and the Aug-huntsman was happy about that, finally standing up, he looked at blake and she looked back at him, his face was wet from all the crying and but his eyes still normal, now that she noticed adam´s eyes were not blue anymore his new augmented eyes were now golden,the circuits and all that added them a small faint glow that seemed hypnotising, she blinked and looked away blushing, she heard him chuckle and the two standed up.

¨let´s go to sleep, it has been a long day and i´m tired.¨ Adam said and Blake nodded

¨yes, sleeping will do good to you.¨ she responded.

¨there is only one thing thought…¨

¨what is it? I´m sure its not that much of a problem¨ she said smilling.

¨i only have one bed.¨ he said and the smile on blake´s face dissapeared and she was now blushing once again, and actually her blush was bigger this time.

¨i-i get it, w-well i-i dont have any problem,j-just dont try anything funny!¨

Adam couldn´t help but to rise an eyebrow and fell amused at the situation before him.¨dont worry, i wont do anything that you dont like.¨ he said smilling and she sighed relived, after that the two were now laying down on adam´s bed,the to said good night to each other and closed their eyes,going to the dreamworld.
