Disclaimer: Neither Fallout New Vegas or League of legends belongs to me.
Noah and Riven Hideout -Ionia 08:30 PM
"…and now here I am after solving all my problems; in a strange new land thanks to an old crazy motherfucker, I swear to god that if I ever find that bastard I will shoot him in his fucking face" With those words ended his tale the courier to a surprised Riven who could only admire the spirit and will to survive of the man beside her.
"Wow that's pretty hardcore stuff, it's incredible that you could survive all that" Noah smiled with some mirth at the words of his companion before answering.
"Well it helps that everybody thought that I was a simple pawn but they forgot a very important detail" said the courier with a faint smile "I am nobody bitch and if I ever have to dance on some tune it will be mine tune" that cold tone send shiver in riven spine because in that moment she knew that her savior was someone merciless with his enemies.
"But well it doesn't matters anymore because that's the past and I plan to begin this new chapter of my life more peacefully for now because after all the messes that I been thrown I want some peace and quiet for a change" the courier commented with a tired tone.
"well you are in a new land maybe you can start over here?" replied Riven to the courier who pondered her words and smiled because she was right he could start over but his musings are stopped when he and Riven see two persons coming to them.
"Stay here Riven I'm going to meet them" said with a serious expression the courier before smiling confidently to riven "and relax I won't let them harm you" so he took his assault carbine and go out to meet their visitors.
/With Irelia and Karma/
"How much we have to walk to get there Lady Karna?" questioned Irelia to her commander who was at her side walking in the forest in search for the person that possibly could help them win this war.
"We are close Irelia so stay sharp because we don't know how this person will react to our presence and also we are close to Noxian territory so we have to be careful" answered the woman but before either of them could say anything else a bullet impacted a tree causing both women to stop a being o guard of their surroundings.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" demanded the courier appearing from the woods with a serious expression in his face punting his weapon towards the two women causing Irelia to do same causing that a mocking smile cross the face of Noah "Well this isn't lovely: a Mexican standoff but tell me something bitch; do you think that you can outrun a bullet because before you can cut me with your oversized kitchen knife I will put a bullet in your head" The Ionian warrior frown at the words of the wastelander but before things could escalate Karma decided to intervene in hopes of evade a bloodbath.
"Relax stranger we have come in peace" said the woman making Irelia lower her sword and the courier do the same with his gun.
"Ok but what are you doing here because last time I checked this place was a fucking war zone and I doubt that two possible high ranking officers would take a stroll in the woods with the threat of a possible assassinating attempt?" replied the courier with the same smile on his face making Irelia frown at the attitude of the man and Karma observe him with keen eyes because she knew the eyes of the courier very well; the eyes of someone who have been fighting all his live just to stay alive another day and always winning at the end. The kind of man that may could save this country if she can convince him to fight for them.
"We were informed of the arrival of a hero that could put the balance of the war in the favor of Ionia against Noxus so we come here in hopes to gain his help in the conflict" answered the woman truthfully to noah who couldn't help but laugh at her because that was one of the most great pile of bullshit he ever hear from someone.
"HAahahahaha! Please I am not a hero I am a courier but is true that I have done some jobs in that line of work before" That pissed Irelia who was about to throw a dagger to noah but he stopped her shooting a bullet at her weapon shattering "I didn't tell you that I could put a bullet in your pretty head before you could do something with your blades I will shoot you in that pretty ass" the woman growled in irritation but didn't anything more making the courier smirk sardonically before returning his attention at the other woman.
"Sorry for that but she really needs to learn control her temper because some day it will b her undoing" said the courier to Karma to them see Irelia right in the eyes with a half smile "but at least she is loyal to you and that's good because I can tell she's good and with a little more experience she will be badass like me" The girl give a small smile at the words of noah who return his attention to Karma who nods at the words of Noah.
"There is no harm done stranger but tell how you ended here because I could tell that you're not from these lands" replied the woman with a serious voice to which the man nodded.
"Indeed I was thrown here by some old fucker who opened a wormhole in my house that sucked me out" answered the courier because he didn't see what harm they could do to him with that information, after all he wasn't in the Mojave and if the words of that old man were true he wasn't even in his world so what they could do, try to kill him or forcing him to do something against his will like that piece of shit Elijah? They could try and find themselves with their throats sleeted.
"That's interesting but you're not telling us the whole story but that's no problem you have your motives for that, but I still would like that you help us in this war because I could tell that you're experienced with war and bloodshed" say the woman causing the courier to inwardly smile 'If only she knew' trough the young man remembering some of the battles he have faced in the past against his multiples foes during his travels in the wasteland, and besides this could be useful because he could use those people to get him and Riven (say what you want about Him but in his 23 years of live he always helped the people who he really liked and she was cool in his book) out of here with money instead of penniless.
"Ok, I help you lot in this little war" that caught the attention of the two women who trough that he could be really the hero that would save their country of the noxian invaders "But you will have to accept my conditions" but immediately their hopes where crushed by Noah "what, do you think I will do it for the goodness of my heart? Well sorry but I don't do charity because that in this line of work gets you killed" he coldly replied.
"Forget about it Lady Karma this man" said a furious Irelia pointing Noah with her hand "is only trying to scam us we are better without him" He only smiled with some mirth because in some ways it was true what the girl was saying: he was planning milking them for all of their worth because he wasn't planning to go in this new land without resources so they could give him money and information, but he was planning to fight if they accepted, after all he was a professional and it would be bad if word go out that he didn't do his end of the contract… that kind of thing only repelled customers.
"Relax Sweetheart I'm not planning of double crossing any of you, I am simply stating a fact: I will not risk my life in the battlefield for free." Said seriously the Courier to her.
"I understand that stranger and while I would have liked that you could have help us guided by your sense of Honor" at that the young man have to contain a snicker because the notion of him doing something like this thanks to his sense of honor was laughable at best and stupid at worst "we could arrange some form of payment for your services if you aren't unreasonable" calmly answered the woman causing that the courier begin respect her, so with a matching serious expression he told her his demands.
"I only want four things: a chest full of gold, a map of this continent and lastly that no one of your troop's harm my companion or I will make sure that his last moments in this world will be full of a suffering legendary even in hell, are we clear?" said Noah with a unreadable expression.
Author Notes: sorry for the short chapter but I'm low of inspiration and real life in this moment keeps me busy but enough of that, before someone tell me something this is not a Irelia bashing because she is one of my favorite champions and I don't like bashing.
And tell me what pairing do you want for the fic?:
Courier x Riven
Courier x Ahri
