~~~Second trip alone~~~

Like every military soldiers, trainees and nearly everyone involved in the the ranks that makes up that army exercises and practice maneuvers are always practiced regularly, and today it so happened to be one of those "practice days" where Adam along with his subordinates train themselves. "SOAR HIGH! LEFT AND RIGHT FLANKS BROADEN! VACUO'S SPARTAN!" with different code phrases and orders the army of faunus moved to Adam's whims like a maestro in front of his orchestra. Although he was a general he couldn't help himself but to position himself close to the front lines, he was not a coward who hides behind his armies like those from Atlas. No, he was a pure blooded warring machine whether he likes it or not.

The position he set himself in was just perfect, he could see the shifts in the movement of all his soldiers with his eyes and seeing the inevitable mistake here and there he quickly barked out orders as to make up for said mistakes. The entire morning went on like this, the White Fang armies moving according to Adam's orders of advancing, defending and fleeing until he and his lieutenants were satisfied.

"AT EASE!" Adam ordered and everyone stood their ground firmly, lining themselves up based on their squads and positions then after affirming that they're on position they rested their tired bodies, some slacking their soldiers while others breathing heavy breathes panting every now and then. Adam clicked his tongue not because of their sudden show of fatigue, that was natural since they've been practicing for hours on end now, rather he found the idea of meeting their enemies head on as a army. Adam knew where the power of the faunus are: Guerrilla warfare, with the White Fang being the type of organized terrorist group that they are, are two or three times better than the regular faunus army in subterfuge and Guerrilla warfare tactics. With a formation like this it was like throwing that game-changing advantage to the wind, but he knew they still had to practice it. Those tactics that they are good at could stop armies a hundred thousand strong but it wasn't guaranteed so -thou reluctant- Adam still had his army practice these tactics.

"SOLDIER'S GOOD JOB, YOU ARE ALL DISMISSED! SALUTE!" Adam saluted at them, at his actions the soldiers declared their thanks before returning the salute and going back to the main head quarters and back to their barracks. Nearly all soldier headed straight back to their barracks, only the lieutenants and a few squad leaders stayed to discuss maneuvers and tactics with Adam. Lilac was the same although not exactly being either the former or the latter she was still there to give Adam a greeting "Thank you for today Sir-Bro!" she said, quirking her head cutely as she does so, Adam didn't notice however as he was busy talking with other with his back turned on Lilac.

The fox pouted and gave Adam a hug from behind "HI SIR-BRO~!" she cheerily announced her entrance along with the hug, immediately a few curious and suspicious eyes dotted on the sudden display of affection from Lilac one that the other high ranking officers fully expected her to be reprimanded by Adam. Adam only sighed at her antics thou quickly placing a smile on his face as he turn around to return the hug of Lilac "I heard you the first time Lilac" he answered as he parted with Lilac "Well you didn't act like it" she grumbled, Adam placed his hands together as he apologized "I'm busy, you know that" he replied before petting Lilac's brown furred fox ears.

*Ahem*

Adam and Lilac turned to find the other officers dumbfound at the sight "Sir we still have to discuss" came one of the officer's inquiries Adam nodded and directed his attention towards them smiling at Lilac before doing so "Can you wait Lilac? Duty calls" Adam gestured towards the other officers, Lilac nodded "Go ahead Sir-Bro" after that Lilac shut her mouth allowing Adam going back to work. Turning towards the other officers Adam continued with their works, after the series of discussions Adam and the other officers ended their talks satisfied with each other's outputs and inputs towards the White Fang army.

Before Adam called a dismissal one of the officers spoke up and asked "Umm...sir what's your relatio-" "Lilac's like my little sister nothing more nothing less" Adam interjected before any miss understandings could even start, though he was quite aware that there are already some going around its better late than never and these people being of the high echelon of his branch of the White Fang. A unified nod went across the people present before they gave Adam a salute and dismissing themselves.

"Ok Lilac I'm good let's go" Lilac nodded at the two started walking their way towards Adam's personal quarters sharing a little banter between each other. Adam already heading straight to his closet to fetch himself a pair of trousers and long sleeved t-shirt with his vest along with his towel before heading to the bathroom for a quick bath "You getting ready to go to the plaza?" Lilac asked as she sat close the bathroom's door. "Yeah" Adam simply replied as the sound of the shower raining cold water over his head rang throughout the room.

...

"Are you going to fine?" Lilac asked with concern in her voice, unbeknownst to Adam her head was currently low and a frown made its way on her face, Adam stayed silent and soon that silence filled the room. Lilac started idly playing with her digits as she broke the silence "You can still take me with you, you know?" Lilac asked as a suggestion thou her question came of more as a statement rather than a suggestion "Blake might try to..." Lilac trailed off fearing that she may hit a nerve, she was sure that he won't do anything to her but she was treading on thin ice when it comes to that topic so she apologized "Sorry Sir-Bro" before she opted to silence, waiting for Adam's reply. Lilac didn't know whether to take the sudden audible shifting of Adam in the shower as a good or bad sign but silence did reign over the room again.

Moments silently passed before Adam was able to fully digest Lilac's words and with a nod to himself he replied "Lilac, Thank you for worrying about me" his thank you was sincere and that same sincerity brought a faint smile on Lilac's frowning face, Adam continued "Don't worry about me. There's a reason why I'm the general of the White Fang" Adam mused to try and dispel any worries from Adam which seemed to have worked as outside the room Lilac's thin smile kept widening as she started loosing the face of worry "I know" she answered agreeably. The shower stopped its down pour as Adam took a few seconds to wear something for to cover his nether regions after doing so he made his way out the bathroom his upper body completely naked save for the towel that hung from his shoulders.

Adam made his way to his desk and before revealing a insignia, his insignia, throwing it towards Lilac as he spoke "If you're still worried take that" Adam walked towards her and slipped a key on her pockets as he continued "Also this key, I've been wanting to give it to you for a long time now" Lilac nodded before she inspected the insignia sitting in her hand. It was a small aegis and in front of it was a beautiful thou oddly shaped figure, one that couldn't be mistaken for a stunning red rose but the oddity came in that the rose was sharp, it gave off a regal feeling along with it a predatorial sense thou in contrast the shield like aegis gave off nurturing and protecting aura around it. If it were to be worn by a specific animal perhaps the proud alpha of a pack would be wearing the insignia "how fitting of Adam" Lilac thought to herself as she now looked up towards Adam.

But instead of giving a reassuring feeling to Lilac, Adam grimaced as a frown replaced Lilac's smile. She then began idly pocking at the insignia "You know Sir-Bro, from where I'm from this is a bad omen" Lilac's voice didn't seem to be joking, why would she? Adam's eyes darted everywhere but the small figure in front of him that was Lilac. A few low yet still audible words meant to reprimand himself for choosing the wrong words could be heard before he wore a neutral face "From Vacuo right? Culture from the north-western faunus towns if I'm correct" Adam gave her a small bit of his knowledge as he tried dancing around the issue, Lilac nodded before pressing her point "That's still a bad omen" Adam nodded as his neutral face thinned into a slight frown "But a thousand miles south it means giving a part of yourself to your loved ones and ensuring your safe return from war and back to them" Adam smiled warmly as he answered before pecking Lilac in the forehead "I'll be fine don't worry"

The two shared a warm brother and sister moment before Adam chuckled slightly to himself "Take a bath already!" Adam playfully chided at Lilac who fainted pain "Whha-ha-hyyy~~!" Adam weakly jabbed Lilac's shoulders before she walked into Adam's bathroom. Adam giggled at Lilac's antics once more before getting the spare clothes she has in his closet along with an extra towel and laying it outside the bathroom "Lilac, your clothes are out side along with a towel, I'll be waiting behind the building so you can see me off"

"OK~!"

Like he promised Adam was waiting in behind the building whistling a tune to himself, "You look ready to go" Lilac complimented as she approach Adam who was currently dressed in civilian outfit and standing beside his Nyx "Wouldn't want to look bad don't I" Adam answered as he faced his Lilac who was wearing the clothes he prepared for her. Lilac's ears twitched slightly before flopping on her head depressed, Lilac's ears are as cute as they are good at portraying her current emotions Adam stoked those same ears "I'm going to be fine Lilac" he reassured again, Lilac sighed she knew she couldn't do anything to stop her Sir-Bro so instead of mopping she choose to see him off with a smile. Her ears shot up in enthusiastic alertness while her tail began swishing back and forth with the same fervor as her ears, "Bye Sir-Bro~!" the warm expression of Lilac was something that Adam couldn't betray even if he wanted to.

Nodding back at her Adam rode his Nyx and with a low purring sound the engine ignited into life "I'll be back soon, see you then" Lilac nodded before she waved a goodbye to Adam "Ok! I'll make sure I'm the first you'll see when you come back" she declared as she also shot him a adorable salute, it was surely a sight that he didn't want to part with but he still needs to go to another sight that he doesn't want to run away from him "Bye Lilac" the motors of the Nyx ramped up from a lowly purr to a loud roar signaling Adam's departure.

~~~~~~~~~~ooo000ooo~~~~~~~~~~

Weiss was currently inspecting her clothes, her battle dress was white with the elegant effect added by the faded blue; her off centered pony tail and porcelain white hair was flawless; everything was in order, she, along with her dress, is blemishless and perfect... now to get the two sisters to do the same. Weiss heaved a sigh of relief at the thought that Yang won't be her problem, she's Blake's, but at the same time she can't help but added a hint of exasperation along with it since Ruby is her problem. The dunce was currently drinking the fountain or rather mess of milk being held and spilled by Zwei with his paws, how it was possible she didn't ask it was Ruby's tomfoolery so she did it with some stupid and convoluted way.

Honestly Ruby couldn't be more of a feral child with how she was acting right now- that was harsh, Weiss shook her head free from the cruel thought, even for her that was too harsh. Steadying herself she moved towards Ruby eyeing her with that look, immediately Ruby closed her mouth and with her semblance quickly cleaned up the mess she and her feral friend made chuckling sheepishly at Weiss as she does so "Sorry Weiss" were her quick apologies as she whizzed to and fro. Weiss gave Ruby a exasperated sigh before she held her in the shoulders effectively steadying the rushing girl "Ruby... put them in the sink we'll clean them later" Ruby "oh"-ed at Weiss suggestion "Right" she answered as she placed the platter of cookies, which Weiss assumed was from her playing with her food- and the cup that Zwei had been holding.

"All clean, Ice queen!" Ruby announced as she got a high five from Yang who liked the awesome rhyming skills of her sister, Weiss however could only sigh "Get dressed Ruby" Ruby gasped at her partner's request before fainting hurt "But I already AM~!" she sent a hand from her neck, where her outfit starts, down to her knees, where it evidently ends. Weiss of course was having none of this she only gave Ruby a warning glare before Ruby started inspecting her dress and what Weiss found so unsatisfactory from it. She meekly raised her eyes to level with Weiss's "Now do you see why I want you to change?" Ruby nodded and rushed to the closet to fetch herself another set of clothes since her current battle dress was covered all over with milk stains and cookie crumbles.

"Done!" Ruby announced giving Weiss a faux salute. Her dress was exponentially cleaner than before, wearing a one piece blouse that ran from her slender shoulders down to her equally slender legs; patterns of Roses that seemed to fade into the white that her blouse was. All in all she was... similarly dressed with Weiss save for the vest and faded blue instead of red. "That's better" Weiss smiled satisfactorily at Ruby "You look great Ruby" Ruby placed a proud hand over her puffed out breasts "Of course! I sortofkindaboughtthisblousebecauseitkindalookedlikeYOU!" Ruby announced though her voice started shying into blabber as she ended. Weiss chuckled in the inside she was cute she could see why she was the most precious little sister of the group. Though it only made her question Ruby's over all image, little sister and team leader extraordinaire: Ruby Rose, the tittle was surely odd and fitting for the ditsy fifteen year old.

Setting her gaze over the couple who seemed to be in quite the dialogue "Come on Blake you already agreed two days ago" Yang still had her suave and bright way of talking, she was still very Yang-like. Blake was... still Blake-like thou she was much more stingy as of late "And I'm telling you know that I won't go Yang... you know why, don't you?" Blake's steadfast amber eyes turned into pleading once as she reluctantly wore her stockings "Don't do that Blake..." Yang then averted her eyes from Blake's legs "You're to sexy" Blake flushed red before she recovered "YANG!"

"BLAKE!" she shouted back enthusiastically before she sat beside her girlfriend "Please... you also know how I feel about broken families right?" Yang struck where it mattered for her and for Blake, she knew Blake couldn't stand the sight of a sad Yang she was merely abusing that, for a good intention of course "Seeing you and your brother like that... hurts me..." Blake looked away from Yang as if to say "Don't do that" but Yang pressed on clearly ignoring her girlfriend's wordless protests "Please, Blake?... If it really doesn't work then that's my blame for putting you face to face with a monster" Blake smiled thinly "Ok...I'll give it a try"

"Thank you Blake... Love ya babe" Yang stood up and cleared herself from the depressed atmosphere that they've made "Let's go then girls!" Yang announced as she gave a offered a hand to the sitting Blake "that's why I feel so bad for what I'm about to do" Blake whispered to herself as she took that hand from her girlfriend smiling as she does so "Let's" Weiss and Ruby nodded along with Blake standing up "What are we waiting for then? to the plaza" Yang exclaimed raising her hand towards the doors as if signaling the team to charge, Ruby followed her sister's lead while the monochromatic pair rolled their eyes with their respective partner's inherent childishness.

"He definitely said the plaza right?" Yang asked as she searched for Adam or any features that are distinctly his, Weiss shook her head as she sat on the bench idly surfing the net on her scroll "No you oaf I said that we're going to meet here, besides its only twelve forty and we set for one o'clock" Weiss answered her question. Right beside her Ruby was doing more or less the same, only her eyes averted oftenly from her scroll to her surroundings and back to her scroll.

Weiss stashed her scroll before walking excusing herself "I'll go look around for him" Blake glared at her for being to sympathetic to Adam, she was not, while Yang gave her a thumbs up and Ruby just nodded absentmindedly, still preoccupied with her phone. Honestly Weiss just wanted to stretch her legs, of course she already gets too much of that with her being a huntress in training but this was different, walking down the plaza with just herself and her thoughts, she pleasantly walked forward thinking how one of the spaces could be her shop's, her brand's Vale branch. Just thinking about it makes her ecstatic, she then looked at the skies over head and hearing the sound of a airplane flying over made another idea dawn over her. What about travel? If she wanted a business that was related to the S.D.C's products while still being different why not transportation? She's certainly gave it a thought before but it just eclipsed her how much that choice would be the right one-

A pair of calloused hands suddenly wrapped around her neck and a quick whiplash send her flying towards a dark alley way, and in the split second that it took for all of these to happen she snapped out of her reverie as her eyes widen in fear. "WHO-" before she could speak further her mouth was covered by those same hands that took her to the alley way "Hi Schnee" Adam greeted, his voice filled with a predatorial lust for blood. Her heart rate suddenly jumped and all her body's instincts told her to run or die, feeling her struggle Adam chuckled sadistically "Sorry Schnee-" he let her go, spinning her to face him "-But today you're not my target, in fact if I take you out you'll be collateral damage that will prevent me from ever finishing my mission" Everything suddenly came to Weiss the rush of fear transitioned to the desperate will to run and live then finally it became mild anger and annoyance.

"And would that mission be getting Blake to not hate you" and instantaneously her voice, mood and composure turned into a business like manner, cold and calculating. Adam raised a brow surprised, but he expected as much from the Schnees "More or Less" Weiss sighed before walking back in to the crowded street "Care to join me then? I know where they are after all" Adam gave her a salute one that actually felt professional "It would be a pleasure" Adam chimed in a mocking tone.

Weiss knew that giving Adam one of her outbursts followed by and earful wouldn't work, this was a man who is capable of killing an entire Atlesian army detachment by himself. Resisting and pointing Myrtenaster at him would be the most idiotic course of action that she could take; a death sentence. Taking a closer inspection he seemed to be unarmed most probably to blend in with the civilians around him, in that case maybe there's a chance to fight him with her team of course. Weiss could still not refute the possibility that Adam just flat out kills her in, him taking her to the alley way in a flash with his hands wrapped around her neck was more than enough proof, she needs to be careful around him.

Right now however he was calm, his face was distant and deep in thought, and his smiled showed more that enough proof that he was looking forward to spend time with Blake. Weiss looked ahead just as he is "What's your comment on lesbian relationships?" she asked out of the blue, Adam cocked his head towards the heiress in a quizzical manner before he straighten out his expression and looked towards the road ahead of them "I have no problems with them" Adam flatly answered before chuckling "You know many I've been around many many corporate slave driving bastards and all of them are afraid when I'm around... I expected you to be more scared" Adam admitted and as if she was insulted Weiss looked at him shocked before she crossed her arms "I have no reason to fear you now, you already told me why. Besides I'm not a "Corporate slave driving bastard""

"Yet" Adam interjected "You're part of family of those same bastards, you know there's a saying that goes "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" you're still just one of them, give it a couple of years" Weiss sneered at him "I am Weiss Schnee, I wouldn't do something like that" Adam sighed, his voice grew in a condescending manner "Its a bit hard to believe, you carry the name Schnee after all. In case you didn't know your family has a rich history of making slaves out of us faunus and that's just the tip of the iceberg" Weiss looked away from him, it did hit hard. After discovering that her family was taking "free-labor" from faunuses and giving them "labor-education" to drive them harder and harder in to the mines that were filled with Dust and the uncertainty of another tomorrow, she lost her appetite for a month.

It was one of the main reasons why she decided to study in Beacon and why she wanted to start another company almost devoid of the name "Schnee" she wanted to distance herself from the tasteless and most definitely shameless "business practices" of her family, perhaps this was the reason why Winter wanted to be a soldier to. "I rest my case" Adam took her out of her reverie with a cocky smile that told her "I'm right aren't I?" still his expression very slightly softened it was almost unnoticeable "Still it's nice to see that you don't want to end up like them" to that Weiss only nodded and they continue their walk in silence.

Upon getting the first sight of Blake Adam nearly ran towards her only to be stopped by Weiss holding his hand "Try looking more composed" she advised and Adam did just that, taking in a deep breath and straightening out his posture. "Thank you Schnee" he really didn't want to thank a Schnee, his enemy, but she earned it and it was good advice "I will never get used to that" he murmured bitterly to himself, Weiss scoffed before she said "Call me Weiss then but don't get to comfortable" her tone was sharp as she ended her statement. "I should be saying that to you... Thank you Weiss" Adam thanked before Weiss left ahead of him "Let me go ahead I'll give them a heads up" Adam nodded and stood there staring at Blake.
