Chapter 11: A bun's Family.

Velvet

I sit in my parents room reading a book and waiting for my parents to wake up. I'm not surprised they fainted after seeing Vanessa. I wanted to faint after first meeting her as well but after working on her you learn shes not that scary. I hear two groans and look to see my parents waking up. I place a bookmark and put my book down. "Hey you two. How you feeling?"

"Velvet? What happened?" asks her mother.

"You passed out." I say trying to avoid another fainting incident.

"I see. But why would we-" Just then the door opens and Jordan walks in.

"Alright so I got some coffee and-" My parents scream and after it subsides he continues. "and Tea. I didn't know who would want what."

"Thanks babe." He sets it down near the bed and grabs a cup of coffee. I grab a cup of coffee as well and add some cream and sugar. My parents look as if they're gonna have a heart attack. "It's alright guys he's not gonna hurt you."

"Unless you attack first." I smack him in the arm. "What?"

"Stop." I turn back to my parents. "I know this is a lot to take in but both Jordan and Vanessa are here to help with the grimm." My parents still seem hesitant and soon we hear loud bangs outside. Jordan brings his helmet up to his head.

"Vanessa. There grimm?"

"Affirmative Pilot. Nothing I can't handle."

"Alright just don't get too beat up. I still need to repair you."

"What's going on?" asks my Father.

"Vanessa's taking care of some grimm. Don't worry she's being careful not to destroy any property."

"You mean the giant terrifying robot?" asks my mother.

"She's not as scary as you think. She's just looks like that due to the damage."

"So she's actually friendly?"

"Yup."

"How do we know your telling the truth?" asks my father.

"Well... You ain't dead right now." I elbow him in the side. "What? It's true. If Vanessa was bad she would kill indiscriminately."

"That may be true but you should remember we don't have mechs that big here." I say.

He sighs. "Yeah yeah. Anyways I'm gonna go see if Vanessa needs help. It may calm these two down as well." He grabs his helmet and puts it on. He grabs his LMG and leaves the room.

"Sorry about him. Still not use to a normal life. And I doubt he'll ever be."

"What do you mean by that sweetheart?" asks my mother.

"Well like we said earlier. He isn't from remnant. He was in a military fighting a war since he was 15."

"15?!" They both shout.

"Yes."

"So he was a child soldier. No wonder he has no manners." says my father.

"He did bring you coffee and is killing grimm near our house." I say while taking a sip of my coffee. "I'm not asking you to like him right away. Just give him a chance."

"She has a point dear. He hasn't done anything to prove us wrong yet." Says my mother.

My father sighs. "Alright. I'll give him a chance but he better not hurt you in any way."

"He hasn't yet dad. Besides he's more afraid of being hurt." I say offhandedly.

"What does that mean?" asks my mother.

"Uhhh... Nothing mom. Don't worry about it." I say nervously. Before she can say anything else Jordan comes back in the room messing with his LMG. "Hey babe."

"Hey Vel." He says as he finally manages to pull the bolt back. I see a shell pop out and fall into the cup of coffee he had before he left. "Finally." He sets the LMG against the wall and picks up his cup. He chugs it down and after has the bullet casing between his teeth.

My parents just stare at him dumbfounded. "There is something wrong with you." My father says.

"I'm not that bad." He says as he spits the bullet casing into the air and grabs it. "I know people who are way worse. Even beat the shit out of them."

"You beat people up at beacon?"

"They had it coming. The guys I beat up would discriminate against anyone in there way. Especially Faunus. Tried it with your daughter here too."

"WHAT?!" Shouts my father.

"Don't worry. I stopped them." He says while setting the casing down on the dresser. "Hey Vel. About that scrap metal."

"Oh right. We should go before it gets too late." I grab his hand and pull him out of the room with him stumbling after me.

"Vel slow down. We could always go tomorrow."

Me

A few hours later, we managed to gather the supplies I needed at a cheap price and sit out back with Vanessa. "How you holding up Venessa?"

"Hull at thirty percent. Shields full."

"Damn. You really did get the shit knocked out of you. Might take a bit to repair you." That's when Velvet comes out in her PJ's.

"Jordan. Come on. It's getting late. We can work on Venessa tomorrow."

"Alright Bun bun. I'll be in in a second."

"Just hurry up. I need you for something." She goes back inside and I look at Vanessa.

"You heard her. I'm heading in. Night Vanessa."

"Pilot." I turn to her and she holds out her hand and in it was a box of condoms. "Coco said to give these to you when the time was right." I grab the box and just shake my head.

"I'm so gonna kill her for this." I go inside and open the door to Velvet's room. "Vel. You would not believe what Coco-" I stop mid-sentence as I look up and see Velvet laying on her bed trying to look sexy. She was wearing Brown lingerie while laying on her side with her head propped on her hand. I drop the box and just stare with my eyes wide and jaw slack. We sit there for around a minute and she visibly sweatdrops.

"J-Jordan?" In one fluid motion I sprint over and start to kiss her. It was gonna be a long night. I just hope the house is soundproofed.

Meanwhile on a ship deep in space

A scientist walks down the hall towards a room. As he opens the door A man behind the desk looks at him. "Mister Hammond. The spectre that we created just up and left. He took the Titan he made and a ship along with weapons and ammo. I don't know what to think of it sir. It's like it bypassed all it's protocols."

"Do you know where it's heading?"

"No sir. He managed to deactivate the tracking chip we had on him."

"It does not matter anymore. We got everything we needed from him. I am assigning you to another project."

"Sir. What other project is more important than this one?"

"The project is one to end this pointless war with the militia. You will all work on the fold weapon."

Back to me and Velvet the next day

I slowly open my eyes and look around. I see chocolate colored walls around me. I try to sit up but feel something pull me back down. I look down and see Velvet holding onto me by my waist. I smile and look at her while she sleeps. Her ears were relaxed. Her face soft with a small smile. Her breasts rising and falling with each brea- wait a minute. I look again with more alertness and see she's naked and holding onto me. Well shit. I hope her parents don't walk in right now. If they do I'm screwed. And not in the good way like last nig- stop brain stop. I shake my head to clear my thoughts. I take another look at Velvet and smile. At least she enjoyed it. I sneak out of her grasp and get dressed. I check the time to see it's only 6 in the morning. I sigh and go downstairs to the kitchen. To my surprise Velvet's mother was already down there with a cup of tea and a cup of Coffee but no one else to drink it.

"Good morning Jordan." she says.

"Good morning uh... Sorry I don't think I got your name."

"Right. We were too shocked to tell you. My name is Jennifer."

"Nice to officially meet you Jennifer." I go to grab another mug but she stops me.

"This cup is for you." she said gesturing to the cup on the table.

"Let me guess. You want to chat." She nods. I nod my head and sit down across from her. "What do you want to know?"

"For starters Velvet said you were in a war since you were 15. Why did you join?"

"My family was killed by the IMC. A group of people who want to control the frontier of space. After that I joined up at only the age of 14. I was trained for a few months until I turned 15 and was put in the pilot program. Once done there I was sent off to battle with Vanessa out there. We've been taking care of each other since."

"I see. I'm sorry for your loss." I wave it off. "So why did you leave?"

"I got betrayed by the other pilots. They left me for dead but Vanessa saved me. We went back onto the ship and I killed the pilots before booking it out of there. Been here ever since." I drink half the coffee in one go after.

"So you were put on my daughter's team after?"

"Yeah. And ever since our leader found out Velvet liked me she's been pushing us to get together." I shake my head. "One thing after the other she would try something."

"How bad did it get?" She says with a small smile.

I chuckle. "Two different points. One where Velvet actually yelled at her scaring everyone in the team. The second point was taking all my liquor and dumping it in the punch at the dance." She looks a little concerned at that.

"You drink?"

I nod. "It helps me sleep at times. Haven't needed to for a while though."

She nods in understanding. "So how many kids had hangovers afterword?"

"Half the school." She laughs at that. "That includes your daughter."

"Oh?"

"It was mixed well. Could barely taste the alcohol if you've never had it."

"You didn't... You know."

"No no no. As much as she wanted to I told her no. Just isn't right when people take advantage."

"That's a bit surprising considering who you are."

"I may be a soldier but I'm still a person."

"I can tell." It's quiet for a bit until she speaks up again. "So why do you like my daughter?"

I get a small smile at that. "Believe it or not. I actually wanted nothing to do with her or the rest of the team for a good while. Being betrayed by one team was enough for me. But she always kept pushing. Of course one day she followed me out when I went to blow off some steam. I was about to get hit by a beowolf and she got in the way of the attack." Her mother looks a bit saddened by this. "After she got out of the medical wing, I asked her why she did what she did. The only thing she said was 'that's what teammates do'. After that I had to rethink what to do."

"What did you do?"

"I opened up. Velvet spent more time with me than the others and I guess it just went from there. She's persistent." I chuckle. "Guess that's what got me in the end." I look up and see Jennifer smiling.

"I can tell you really care."

"In all honesty. She did a lot more for me than I could ever do for her." I see Jen's ears twitch and hear footsteps on the stairs. They were light so I knew exactly who it was. "Hey Vel." I say with a smile. I feel her lean on me and wrap her arms around me. It was obvious, she was still tired. I hold up my cup and she takes it with a kiss to my cheek. She sits next to me and drinks the coffee slowly with a content smile and her ears drooping.

"So what are you two doing up?" asks Velvet.

"I woke up at 6. Didn't want to disturb you." I say while getting a round out of my pocket and flipping it between my fingers.

"We were also getting to know each other. Also learning of what Beacon is like." Jennifer says and I hear Velvet choke a bit on the coffee. I go over and pat her back until she calms down.

"W-what do you mean by that?" she asks a bit nervously.

"Oh just how your team leader pushed you guys to get together." Velvet glares at me.

"I'm uh... Gonna start on Vanessa. Love ya." I say as I kiss her head and sprint outside. I see Vanessa deactivated and tap her leg as I went to go get the supplies I needed.

"Pilot."

"Morning Vanessa. Ready to get repaired?"

"Of course Pilot." As I hand her a piece of metal and hop up she speaks again. "So how was it last night."

I stare at her optic for a minute. "You've been spending way to much time with Coco."

By the crashed Atlas Ship

"So this is where you've been hiding Shadow." Says a bot as he hops off his landing ship. He carried three weapons with him. A Kraber AP anti-material sniper, R-201 Special operations Assault rifle, and a SA-3 Mozambique shotgun pistol. "Time to hunt you down.

Hey all... I honestly have nothing to say... No excuse or anything. I'm just depressed. Work sucks, got shit pay, and IL is raising prices on everything without raising paystubs. So yeah. Just tired and depressed... Anyway. I'll try and write more if I can. Stack out.
