Chapter 004
The Wolves
I'll be the first to admit that as we walked to Wilt and Blush, I had no clue what was going on. It was Friday and we'd all just gotten out of school and I was excited for a long nap but that was just a pipe dream now as Sun lead me and the rest of the crew down Verdant to the bull faunus's club, I asked Neptune and he confirmed my suspicions about Adam's horns.
As we entered the club I noticed that there were employees in the club at the time. One boy my age with black and red hair and red eyes who had a black lion tail sprouting from the base of his spine, was laying on the bar sleeping while another boy, who was also my age, with black hair with single red highlight and the strangest eyes I had ever seen that were a mixture of red and gold along with what looked to be black fox ears on his head, was restocking the sleeves of alcohol shelves behind the bar.
"Leo wake up." The guy restocking said as he set a bottle of whiskey down onto the second shelf.
The sleeping one, Leo, groaned as he rolled over and fell off the bar, bouncing off the bar stools, before landing face first on the ground, "Ouch."
What the fuck?
"Dumbass." Sun called out as Leo stood and brushed his red long sleeve V-neck off that was slightly disheveled showing off the edge of a tattoo on the right side of the nape of his neck.
"Asshole." Leo called out as he approached us smiling as he dusted off his ripped black jeans.
Leo and Sun hugged in a brotherly way before separating. Leo scanned the entire group before his eyes settled on me, "You're new."
I nodded. His red eyes were strangely piercing but I somehow managed to hold his gaze as he eventually looked back to the bar where the other employee was still stocking, "Jace, where's Adam?"
Jace, wearing a basic black T-shirt and dark blue ripped jeans, looked over as us and shrugged, "Ask Sax."
"Well where's Sax?" Leo asked in an annoyed tone.
"Fuck if I know." Jace said offhandedly as he began collapsing a cardboard box that was previously full of liquor bottles.
There was a sharp click that rang throughout the club before a massive bass drop played through the speakers and my head flicked over to the elevated DJ station where I could see another guy roughly my age with black and white hair, storm gray eyes and two black wolf ears sprouting from his head.
The trap music quickly cut off and the monochrome haired boy picked up a black fedora with a white band off the DJ station and secured it on his head over his ears. As the boy walked down and began walking toward us I noticed he was wearing a white casual dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and the top two buttons undone and his black skinny tie with a white cross near the bottom loose a notch or two, simple black slacks and simple black dress shoes followed. I noticed the tattoos for the first time, two chains that were double helixing down his right arm and stopped at his wrist and on the back of his right hand was the Eye Of Horus, an old symbol from Mistralian mythology. Clearly a Mistral native like myself.
The guy examine me as he approached and soon held his hand out, "Saxon. You must be Jaune."
I nodded and again the boy's storm gray eyes examined me before looming away to the others and smiling, "Guys. You should come by more often."
"We have school unlike you idiots." Sage said humorously as Leo faked a double take.
"Did he just call us idiots?" Leo asked faking exasperation.
Saxon rolled his eyes and he began walking toward the wrought iron stairs with a rail along the side to what looked like an office built into the wall above and behind the bar, complete with a glass wall looking out at the entire club, "Come on."
The six of us followed Saxon up the steps and stopped on a small, railed platform in front of a door. Saxon knocked on the door before calling out, "You in there Adam?"
"Come in." Adam's voice rang out loudly before Saxon opened the door and we were lead into Adam's office which was quite nice. To the left there was the man himself sitting at a glass top desk with a laptop in front of him and a file cabinet in the back right corner of the wall behind him. Scattered around the wall in front of me and to my left there were multiple couches.
Adam stood from his desk and gave a small smile as he gestured to the couches and me and the crew were soon either sitting or lying on the couches while Saxon leaned against Adam's and Adam himself stood near the center of the office with his back to the glass wall.
Adam turned to me, "I see you've met my important employees," Adam said before he gestured to Saxon, "Saxon here is the assistant manager of the club and primary DJ."
Adam jabbed his thumb over his shoulder to the club below, "Leo runs security and Jace runs the bar."
I nodded understanding everything and Adam continued, "Now gentleman...and Sun-"
"Hey!"
"We are here to discuss, a job." Adam said as he tapped the glass and it instantly became stark white and the lights dimmed. I heard mechanical clicking and realized a small projector had lowered from the ceiling displaying a picture of the Vale Museum onto the white glass.
"That's the Vale Museum." Scarlet stated. Yeah no shit Sherlock.
"No shit." Neptune said as he rolled his eyes at the redhead.
"What's the mark?" Ren asked, his usual calm, stoic personality not faltering.
"Saxon, if you would."
Saxon reached back and tapped a key on the laptop and the picture shifted to a blueprint of the Vale Museum from a top down view. Saxon cleared his throat, "You six will be infiltrating the museum tomorrow night to steal the Drake Codex."
Sir Franklin Drake, explorer, artist, knight, engineer. He was a genuine jack of all trades and was most famous for mapping most of Atlas three hundred years ago when no one else would dare venture into the cold continent. His codex is said to detail his adventures and life from his early twenties to the day before his death, having died in a failed coup defending King Julius. He was a deep part of Mistralian history and one of my heroes. Then again, another one of my heroes is Khan Dao who nearly conquered all of Vaccuo for Atlas two hundred years ago, so no one should look to into my decisions about heroes too much.
"That's only in Vale for like a week right?" Sage asked.
"Tomorrow is the last night of display then it'll be shipped back to Mistral." Adam explained as a picture of the Codex appeared over the blueprint. The Codex was a thick leather bound book with the initials FD embedded into the leather on the front cover. The picture of the Codex disappeared and the blueprint was alone again.
"You'll enter through the roof," Adam said as Saxon clicked the keyboard and an aerial view of the museum appeared and the glass dome at the top seemed to have a quarter of it destroyed and was covered with a tarp.
"What the hell is that?" Neptune asked.
"That, Neptune, is the accident of a painter who was restoring a mural on the museum's second floor but it is also our opportunity," Adam said as the photo changed again to a wide shot of the inside of the museum with the glass dome and floor in frame. I'd I had to guess it was a sixteen foot drop. Not too dangerous, but painful if done incorrectly.
"That will be your entry and exit point." Saxon said simply.
"Wait, exit? I can climb up the inside of a dome and i'm pretty sure Ren can, but the rest of these guys? No way." Sun said in a confused tone.
"We got you something pretty cool to help with that," Adam said as it changed to a new picture of a long hallway with cameras all along the top edge, "Standard hallway. Cut the cams before you walk into it's line of sight. You know the drill."
Hahaha, guess what Adam? I don't know the god damn drill. Teach me the goddamn drill.
"So how many will be going in?" I asked as I stared at the picture of the hallway.
"At least Sun. Neptune will need to stay near the dome so he can deactivate the motion sensors in the dome opening, at the same time disable the silent alarm on the Codex's case and also deactivate the cams on the Codex room itself. You could probably send in three more with Sun at most but i'll you six decide who's going in with Sun and who's sitting with Neptune." Adam said logically as Sum jokingly raised his hand.
"Yes Sun?
"What kind of lock am I dealing with?" Sun asked before Adam shook his head.
"It's all digital. Neptune will have to deal with it." Adam said as Neptune groaned.
"You have a way with words that just immediately makes me want to kill myself." Neptune said.
"Too much for you pool noodle?" Sage asked sarcastically.
"Please, give me some credit," Neptune said as he settled deeper into the couch, "It'll be easy."
"That's what I like to hear," Adam said as he clapped and rubbed his hands together quickly, "This is the big time gentleman. If you pull this off you'll be set to buy...whatever it is seventeen year olds buy."
Adam turned and looked at Saxon, "What do you even buy?"
Saxon shrugged, "First part of my cut is getting me a tailored suit and paying my rent."
"God you are one strange seventeen year old," Adam said as the projector retracted into the ceiling and the lights came back on as the glass became transparent again, "Tomorrow night you'll show up here after eight looking ready to go clubbing. After that you'll dance for a couple minutes, your necessary gear will be up here and you'll leave through my personal entrance. Do the job, come back, dance some more, leave and i'll have your guy's cuts within a week."
"Sounds simple." I commented.
"It's the simple plans that are the best Arc." Adam said ominously.

"So you and Ruby went out on a date?" Scarlet asked me as we all relaxed in the living room.
"It wasn't a date." I said suppressing a blush.
"Sounds like a date." Sun said as he channel surfed.
"It wasn't a date." I said exasperatedly. It wasn't...was it? I'm pretty sure i'd know if I was on a dare. I'm not that clueless am I? Am I?
"You two got coffee. That sounds like a date." Sage said as he stole the remote and switched it to Netflix.
"We rang into each other at the Starbucks."
"She cleanly reached level four in friendship if she unlocked your tragic backstory," Sun said jokingly, "The only other people to know that is the five of us."
"Okay. First, I just told her that I was abandoned and nothing else-"
"That might not of been a good idea. You know how she is." Neptune chimed in.
"Shut up Shawcross."
"Who the fuck told him my middle name?" Neptune asked as he pointed at me.
"The same person who told me Ren's middle name is Oum." I said smugly.
Ren glared at me before glaring at Scarlet, "It was you wasn't it Scarlet."
"Sorry lads." Scarlet said slightly embarrassed that i'd managed to trick him into telling me everyone's middle names.
"You guys are so stupid." Sage commented as he tapped away on his phone.
"Shut up. We gotta keep our heads in the game." Sun said, gathering the group's attention.
"It's all good. Adams got us covered." I said as I leaned back into the couch.
Neptune uncomfortably rubbed his back while cringing slightly, "It's about to rain."
"How the fuck do you know that?" Sage asked sounding slightly indignant.
"It's cause he's got scoliosis so he's got a metal rod up his spine which has some interesting side effects." Sun explained.
"I can't float in water-"
"Which is why he's scared of the shit." Sun cut it.
"Fuck you, I can feel when its about to rain because of pressure or some shit, and I get cold really easily." Neptune finished.
"He's basically eighty percent robot." Ren said humorously.
"He's a cyborg!" Scarlet exclaimed laughing.
"Bitch i'm Wolverine." Neptune said joining Scarlet by laughing.
We all ended up laughing and Sun was rolling around on the floor while his tail was flung in all different directions.
"Cyborg Neptune is almost as good as Shirtless Neptune!" Sun exclaimed as he laughed and rolled around.
"Wow I haven't seen Shirtless Neptune in forever." I said laughing, Shirtless Neptune being code for Neptune when he was absolutely shit faced.
"And you won't for awhile. I'm not becoming Shirtless Neptune again." Neptune said stifling his laugh.
Sun stood up and walked to the window that lead to the fire escape and smiled as rain began to pepper the fire escape and slide down the windows, "Who knows? After we pull this job Shirtless Neptune might make a comeback."

Thieves are like wolves. We're ambitious, we're ruthless, and for lack of a better word, we're hungry. Wolves hunt in packs. Thieves work better together. We're wolves. Granted these weren't the best thoughts to be thinking as we all approached Wilt and Blush, ready to get to work. As we approached the only thing I could see was the massive line built up outside the club.
Sun lead the group passed the massive crowd and to the front where Leo, who was wearing a red dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a black vest, black slacks and black shoes, was waiting with a massive bear faunus in a normal suit. The man was massive and I honestly wouldn't of been surprised if he had a name like Rocco or Bosco or something like that. Leo spotted us and waved us inside causing the people in the front of the line to complain about how they'd been standing in line for two hours.
Zero fucks given on my part.
The dance floor was packed with bodies of men and women of all different kinds, all moving to the beat of the drum and bass music Saxon was playing from his DJ station with his fedora on. I looked passed all the people to see Jace behind the bar mixing drinks in clothes exactly like Leo's. Jace tossed a bottle behind his back and I watched as the whiskey bottle tumbled in the air before being caught by another bartender. It was a show. A show for tips.
Leo soon disappeared after telling us to socialize a bit before heading up to the office. I looked around the club and for a few moments watched as Saxon switched to trap music and the crowd started dancing faster. Saxon spotted me in the crowd and I could tell he was tipping his fedora to me and not the redhead to my right squealing ablution how the "cute DJ" called her out. Jace and Sage were talking at the bar while Jace handed the taller darker skinned boy a glass of Coke. I made myself comfortable on one of the many couches and soon found a girl sitting on both sides.
"Hey. You look kinda young. Should you be in here?" The girl to my right, Righty if you will, asked.
I remained quiet hoping nay, praying that they'd leave me the fuck alone.
Either God doesn't exist or he's just flipping me off because I remained in my current position. Hell. I was in hell.
"Ooh. He's quiet. Don't worry Nikki, I can change that." The girl to my left, Lefty obviously, said her hand trailed up my thigh.
Okay first, I knooow this chick ain't about to go to the no no zone, okay? Second, I still insisted on calling Nikki, Righty cause fuck her. And third, I was now all matters of uncomfortable.
I immediately stood up and began walking away before I saw Sage and Jace laughing at me from the bar. Joining the assholes, I was soon sipping on Pepsi as I waited it out. Sage soon slapped my chest with back of his hand and nodded up the stairs to Adam's office, "Let's go."
"I'll keep the drinks cold. Go make us some money." Leo said as Sage and I got up from our barstools and headed towards the stairs. We soon entered Adam's office and found Neptune and Ren already there, relaxing on the couches. Within the next fifteen minutes Scarlet and Sun soon joined us in the office, almost immediately, Sun fell onto a couch and stretched out as Adam reached behind his desk and pulled out three full duffel bags. Tossing them on the floor in front of us.
"The two on the right are clothes. The left one is gear." Adam said as he tapped the glass of his window, turning it white to prevent the clubgoers from seeing us change.
Sun and I began digging through the clothing bags and found six identical sets of clothes. A black close fitting hoodie made out of a thick, soft material of some kind, black pants made out of similar material, black canvas sneakers and black Mechanix utility gloves. Pretty simple. As I pulled my blue casual button up shirt and dark jeans off I realized that the clothes provided by Adam were warm. Sliding on the black clothes I moved my arms in multiple direction along with my legs to test mobility and flexibility. It was amazing, not as good as when I was naked but I can't exactly burgle a museum nude...or could I?
The rest of the crew had changed into the identical clothing and Neptune began looking through the gear bag, "Oh. That's what you have planned Adam."
Adam smirked, "You are have no idea how hard it was to get those, don't break em."
"No promises." Neptune said as he zipped up the bag.
"What is it?" I asked, confused by the vagueness of this shit.
"You'll see." Neptune said smirking as Sun slung the bag across his back.
"Ignore the bitchy cyborg." Sage said as he pulled on his gloves.
"Why you hatin?" Neptune asked.
Adam rolled his eyes and slid one of the couches away from the wall to reveal, for lack of a better word, a trapdoor. A simple wooden trap door with an iron ring as a handle.
"Anyone else getting Skyrim flashbacks?" I asked as Adam tugged the trapdoor open.
"I was thinking Dark Souls to be honest." Neptune said.
"Yeah except this job is nowhere near as frustrating." Ren commented and everyone except Adam chuckled.
"You teens and your video game references. What ever happened to Sonic?" Adam asked.
"Better you don't know." Scarlet said as he crouched and looked down the opening.
"Where does this lead?" Sun asked.
"Sewers. Just go straight twenty feet and you'll find a ladder that leads to the surface behind the club. You're on your own from then." Adam explained.
Sun nodded and began climbing down the ladder, shortly followed by Neptune and then me. Part of the way down I was surrounded by metal, like James Bond movies when he'd be crawling around in vents but I soon was past the ground floor of the club and into the sewer. The sewer looked nicer than I had imagined, granted it reeked like no tomorrow but at least the water wasn't full of garbage and the walkways on both sides of the water were clean enough. Ren, Scarlet and Sage soon joined us and Adam shut the trapdoor and we were plunged into darkness. Almost in sync, we all pulled out our phones and began scanning the sewer using the light from our devices.
"He said to text him once we make it back to the ladder." Sage said as we began walking what we assumed was straight.
"We got this guys." Neptune said as I spotted the ladder to the surface.
"We got a job to do." I said as I began climbing up the ladder, towards the surface.

In was finally in sight. I perched on the wall of a small office building and looked at the museum with Neptune by my side. Neptune had stashed his laptop bag some way along the route to the museum which was a surprise to me seeing as how it would've made more sense to bring it to the club but hey, to each his own. Neptune opened his laptop and his face was immediately illuminated by a cyan blue glow. Tapping away for a moment, Neptune turned to us after closing his laptop, "Motion sensors on the roof are down."
"Nice work cyborg." Sun commented as he looked around for the fastest way to access the roof.
"Asshole."
"You know it," Sun said as his tail twitched sporadically as he pointed, "There it is."
I looked over and say that Sun was pointing to a electric cable hanging off and building next-door and ran to the museum. Scowling at Sun, granted he probably couldn't see me in the dead of night, I sighed, "This sucks."
/~/
"That was bullshit." Neptune complained as we snuck across the roof of the museum.
"It was fine." Sun insisted as we approached the dome of the museum.
"Not all of are fucking monkeys or ex-gymnasts." Sage grumbled as we climbed towards the shattered top of the dome.
Ren sighed at the mention of his past and cleared his throat, "Let's just focus on this."
We were all soon standing on top of the unbroken half of the glass dome and Neptune set down the gear back and unzipped it revealing two black wench looking machines.
"What the fuck are those?" Scarlet asked as Ren began handing out Bluetooth earpieces that he'd gotten from the bag.
"They're used by Vale SWAT to breach windows." Neptune explained as he secured the machines to the dome near the edge of the break of the dome.
"How the hell do you know that?" I asked as Neptune reached into the duffel bag and pulled out four harnesses that reminded me of parachute harnesses.
Sun grabbed a harness and began to slip on it, "Ren, Jaune and Sage. You're coming down with me."
"Nice." I said as Scarlet looked around exasperatedly.
"What about me?" The redhead asked.
"You stay up here, now shut up you second half of a Drake song." Sun said as he smirked.
"You throwing shade mate?" Scarlet asked.
"I most certainly am." Sun said as he threw a harness at me and I began pulling it on.
"That was so savage it must've hurt." Neptune commented as he began typing away on his computer from a seated position on the dome.
"It did a little bit." Sun said as he jokingly rubbed his chest.
Scarlet rolled his eyes and sat next to Neptune as Ren and Sage began slipping into the harnesses. Sun nodded at me as I finished the last buckle, "It fits alright?"
I shifted around uncomfortably, "A bit tight in the crotch."
"Deal with it Jauney."
"Call me that again Sage and i'll punch you in the throat." I threatened as the significantly bigger guy laughed.
"Ooh. Thems fighting words." Sun said he pulled a thick cable with thick clip attached at the end out of the machine and began explaining the controls that were on a small box about a foot higher on the cable. Three buttons basically, up, down, and slack which shut off the wench device inside the machine and let the cable move freely.
"Do what I do." Sun instructed as he hit the slack button and pulled out an excess of seven feet of cable. Sun did a quick two step run before jumping off the unshattered part of the dome, while turning to us, to the space above the back void and, almost in slow motion, fell into the museum. The cable quickly went taut and slowly began to descend and Ren soon copied Sun but with the rest of the gear bag on his back.
"This is some Mission Impossible shit." Sage commented as we watched Sun and Ren send the harnesses back up to us.
I then proceeded to mentally sing the Mission Impossible theme…thanks Sage...fuckin dick.
Copying my monkey faunus friend's movements, I was slowly descending into the museum. I was spinning, giving myself a full three sixty view of the second story room was a massive circle with four hallways leading to certain displays and there was a massive railed opening showing the ground floor from above. I could see Sun and Ren's flashlights occasionally shining on a painting or sculpture. The building was very North Mistralian, pearly white archways of marble and tall stark pillars made of the same marble. Kinda beautiful actually and it made me think about going to some ruins outside Romulus when I was a kid with my parents and sisters.
My sneakers soon connected to the marble floor and I unhooked the cable and let it hang as Sun tossed me a flashlight and a pair of wire cutters. Clicking on the torch I shined it around, examining the works of art on the walls. Sun tapped my shoulder and held a finger to his lips. No sound? No problem.
We moved quietly across the floor, towards the hallway with Drake's Codex at the end and I could tell right away our one problem was a slightly annoying one. Cameras. The cameras were on a closed circuit according to Neptune, whatever that means, but i'm all I knew was it meant he couldn't hack it which left us to using the wire cutters as Adam had planned. As we braced against the walls just outside both sides of the hallway I crouched so Ren could look over me and around the corner if he wanted and I saw doing the same thing for Sage.
Sun pointed at me, then down the hallway. He wanted me to cut the first camera. I took a quick peek out before one of the six cameras could spot me and saw multiple colored wires.
"Which wire?" I mouthed and Sun looked around, panicking slightly, before tugging on Sage's hair under his pulled up hood.
Green wire. Taking another peek, I spotted the green wire in the bunch and prepared to sprint to the first camera on my side of the hallway. I took off as the camera turned away from me and kicked off the wall to be at a similar height to the old security cam. After quickly cutting the wire, I saw the red light on top blink out and heard footsteps quickly approach. Sun ran past me and cut the first camera on his side of the hallway as it began to turn to me. I saw the second cam in my line to begin to turn towards Sun and sprinted towards it, cutting the wire just in time so Sun could cut his second cam. We repeated the process repetitively for the last cam in each of our line and I began to speak before my mouth was covered by Sun's gloved hand.
Sun shook his head and pointed into the Codex room and mouthing, "More cameras."
Ren and Sage jogged past us and into the Codex room, each holding what looked like a roll of yellow smiley face stickers
What the fuck? Sun and I stood in the hallway for what seemed like forever, but in reality it was probably only thirty seconds, before Ren came back into my view and waved us in.
Sun and I strode into the big circular room and spotted eight security cams all at head level on the walls of the room. Much more expensive, no wires to cut. We all stood for a moment before Neptune's voice came through all our earpieces, " Cams are off guys. I'll have the case open in a sec."
I sighed and, for the first time since I got into the room, looked at the glass case in the center of the room the held our prize. It was simple looking but I knew better, that case was designed to stand up to fifty caliber machine gun rounds at least and I knew that me smashing my elbow into it wouldn't work to say the least.
Sun clapped my back and smiled at me, "You did good Arc."
"Thanks Sun."
Sun's tail twitched suddenly and he silenced Ren and Sage before mouthing, "Guards."
We took similar positions as we had before we stormed the hallway except Sage was on the outside, his golden eyes locked with mine and I instantly knew what he wanted do. I heard the maintenance door open and shut and heard heels click down the hallway and saw flashlights shine passed us.
"I'm telling ya man it was just a hard crash with the cameras." A young voice. Probably a new guard.
"Somethings up, I can feel it." An older voice answered as the grew closer. They clearly hadn't turned around to see the cables from our wenches. Hoo-fucking-ray.
Click. Click. Click. Just hurry the fuck up you idiots. I saw the front of one of the guard's flashlights and sprung into action with Sage. Sliding behind the younger guard I brought my left forearm into his throat as I knelt quickly bringing him down and bringing my knee into his back. He struggled and grabbed at my arm, trying to pull it away. He clearly didn't lift as much as me, his legs kicked into the older guard who was in a similar position but with Sage.
Go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep. Time for a nap bro. The kicking slowed and grew fainter after a moment and quickly died out along with the older guard who Sage let fall back slowly. I set the guard down softly, knowing we were all safe.
"Case is open guys. Move fast." Neptune said over the earpiece.
Sun jogged towards the case, his eyes shined as he reached into the gear bag and pulled out a small thick plastic bag, the kind that were used in people's attics to keep photo albums dry when the roof leaks and stuff. Sun carefully moved the Codex into the bag, zipping it up before he placed it into the gear bag along with our wire cutters. Slinging the bag back over his shoulder, he and I left the Codex room as Ren and Sage retrieved the stickers. Don't wanna leave any evidence behind.
Sun and I leaned against the railing as Sage and Ren soon appeared stickers in hand before shoving them in their pockets. Not to stroke my own ego, but we're fucking awesome. Right now a crisp high-five would satisfy my ego. My abnormally small ego.
I watched as Ren and Sage were pulled up towards the opening and Sun tapped my shoulder, "Nice take-down on that guard by the way."
"Thanks. It was one of the first things Sage taught me." I responded as the cables descended back down to us.
"It's the first thing he teaches us all bro." Sun said as he attached his cable to his harness and hit the up button.
I followed suit and stared up at the night sky through the hole. I saw the full moon. It shined with a brilliant white light I knew that under moonlight my hair looked silver and I imagined that as I let my arm and legs hang loose as I was pulled up I looked angelic in a way...an angel in black. Now that I think about it that could be the title of a book or a band name. Angels in Black.

"Open the fucking trap door Adam!" Sun shouted as he banged on the trapdoor from under.
"What's the password?" Jace's voice replied.
"Suck my dick!" Neptune shouted angrily as he shook his fist at the door.
"No way Wolverine." Leo's voice replied next.
Neptune cringed as Sun continued to bang on the door. These guys are so weird
"Get the fuck outta the way." Saxon? The trapdoor swung open and the the fedora wearing wolf faunus's face was framed by light from Adam's office, forcing me to squint as Sun climbed into the club. Time to celebrate.
AN: So this was an interesting chapter to write mostly cause things were changing a lot so there might be a couple inconsistencies. So Neptune has scoliosis, mostly because I was listening to the RT podcast and Miles started talking about Kyle Taylor's metal spine and scoliosis and I thought it'd be a nice easter egg. So I don't usually mention this but I listen to podcasts and (weird as it is) read other fanfics while I write so I wanted to thank em for drowning out the sound of my neighbors. I listened to the RT podcast for a while and then She Didn't Text Back done by William Haynes and Daren Vongirdner and you can find that podcast on ITunes and read Warmth of Winter by RareNyte. So about my OCs, no one really addressed them in the reviews so I just kinda just went ahead and did it, it also involved me making Saxon and Jace faunus seeing as how they're normal human but if you liked them you might wanna go check them out in my OC story, Dark Skies and Stormclouds. So...85 followers, thats honestly amazing guys (and girls if you're there) and i'm so happy that you guys found my writing good enough. So guys, please follow and favorite to stay up to date on the story and review telling me what you think about the chapter. Stay cool everyone and live out loud.
