"hm" huh oh I woke up, welp time to get ready. Getting up I look over my room, it's not much, Black walls, black ceiling, black carpet with a black and golden rug. There's a window to the right of my bed with the perfect view of the sun rising. There's also a dresser with a few shelves above it with some random stuff on it. Also at the foot of my bed is a table with my best pal. I Walk over to them "hiya Dody" yup they are a goldfish named Dody.
"..."
"why good morning to you to Dody"
"..."
"Yup I got a whole lot of stuff planned today and one of my errands involves Torchwick"
"..."
"yes I have to talk to 'him' too"
"..."
"Hey there the only reason I'm not rotting in jail"
"..."
"what?"
"..."
"Oh sure I'll make sure to buy your favorite kind"
Welp that was a nice conversation, 'also note to self: make sure to buy Dody some ultra delicious fish food'. Walking over to my dresser I stop and look in the mirror, I have for some reason, and I look over myself. I'm just wearing some black pajama pants with little chibi Beowulf heads on them, also I'm shirtless. I could see, the marks and scars I got because of 'them', two of them got my attention, they were the worse ones I had. They were right next to each other on my back and if you had a good enough eye you could say something was there from before.
Sure I may have gotten a lot of scars but they weren't that bad, the worst ones I had weren't physically real they were mental. Remember how I said I had PTSD well guess what that's the worst scar and because of that I can't say some words like qu-no stopping right there you'll just have to figure them out yourself.
"Hm, how long have I been looking at myself"
"..."
"oh 11 minutes thanks, Dody" Welp that was a waste of time, well can't win them all.
*sometime later*
"Anya hold still," I said to Anya trying to make her stop squirming around
"NYAH!" 'Ow,' I thought as Anya did her loud Mew in my ear.
"Your not making this any easier if you keep on squirming around," I said
"it hurts" she responded trying to make me stop
"I'm sorry, but you have to hold still or I won't be able to dry your hair off," I said as I continued to dry her hair off.
Basically, after I got dressed in one of my outfits I call "the Businessmen" It's basically a black trench coat with golden highlights, with a black inside with many pockets outlined in gold. I also had black pants with golden highlights, black shoes with golden highlights I also had my bandana with me.
I then woke up Anya and made her get a shower while I cooked breakfast, yes I know I'm one of those guys who can cook. Anyway, once she was finished and got dressed I had to dry her hair because she can never get it all dry, because of her cat ears. Thankfully the college, yes she goes to college didn't mention that already, is out on a semester break.
"all dry now go eat I'll clean up your mess," I said to Anya who responded with a nod and left the bathroom. *sigh* Standing up I pick up all of her dirty clothes and towels and threw them in the basket with the other dirty clothes. I left the room and went downstairs and went into the kitchen and I saw Anya eating.
"so hows the food squirt," I said as walked past her ruffling her hair.
"It's good (⌣̀_⌣́)," she said taking another bite
"glad to know," I said as I grabbed some food and took a seat
"better then the first time," she said causing me to remember that cringe moment.
"Oh come on it couldn't have been that bad :(" I said trying to save my reputation
"you burned water, physically impossible"
"well I uh uh damn I should have never taught you to how to insult people"
"that's your fault"
"Yeah, I know" We then continued to eat in silence until "We're gonna be visiting juniors later today to see uncle Nyon," I said causing Anya to look up at me with sparkles in her eyes. 'she really likes Nyon' I thought. The only reason why she liked him because he was nice to her and they both like tech especially that Gun of his. "yup so you better hurry up and eat" I said standing up and taking care of my dish.
Walking into the garage I turn on the lights and I see my beauty my Sunbeam. She's a highly modified Ducati 848 with all kinds of enhancements like a much larger fuel tank, Armor plating, all terrain tires, hidden gun, NOS system and the best part Vengence and glory are the handles. The blades sink back into the handle and are able to be connected to act as the Sunbeam's handles, and Nyon is supposedly working on some type of new mod that's gonna come with a bigger battery. The armor plating is also very sleek giving a very futuristic vibe with awesome golden highlights... I like gold a lot.
Walking over to her I mount her, and not in that way, pulling out my blades I hook them up and... *VROOM!* 'That's my girl'. Driving her out front I pull out my scroll to pass the time.
Red: Nyon you there
DJ: Yeah where are you I'm at Junior's
Red: surprised to see you up at...
I look at the clock
Red: 12:54
DJ: Oh please I can stay up for 2 days without getting sleep
Red: True but you start hallucinating
Dj: so
Red: you almost shot me once
Dj: so
Red: I could've died
Dj: Okay, okay, okay I'm sorry
Red: apology accepted
Dj: thank oum
Red: though you do realize I still have errands to do
Dj:...
Red: uhhhhh
Dj: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE ERRANDS! (ಠ益ಠ)
Red: Yeah I have to get some ammunition and some stuff for Anya and Dody
Dj: that is still not a good explanation! and why Dody
Red: and I have to talk to 'him'
Dj: oh (;¬_¬) well I better find something to do and hope junior doesn't kick me out
*DJ has left the conversation*
*open*
*close*
Oh, Anya is ready, "well what took you so long Anya," I said to her as she ran over to the bike. Oh yeah she wearing a gray jacket with gold highlights with a gray shirt which have periodic tables that spell Science in gold while wearing gray shorts with golden highlights and she has a gray book bag with golden highlights on her side with who knows what is inside,...I think I'm influencing her too much. "wait," I said stopping her I point at her head "helmet" she then pulls a gray helmet, with again gold highlights on it, out of her bag and puts it on.
"perfect" Picking her up I sat her right behind me "alright Anya hold on tight," I said to Anya who responded with an 'okay' *VROOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!*
*some time later*
"Alright remember no talking to strangers, no running off, and no showing off your cuteness got it" I said to Anya as she sat on one of the few benches in front of the CCT. "okay" Anya responded "good, now I've got to talk a business partner so behave" I said as I then began my walk towards the CCT. "penny!" hmm Looking around to where I heard that voice and just saw three girls, oh would you look at that one of them is a Schnee how nice. Welp no time to dilly dally I have a call to make.
The CCT is really elegant in a way, yeah it's kind of poetic I think. Though it is very spacious on the main floor like there's a huge pillar and there nothing else in the way except a few benches. 'Eh like I should comment on architecture when I know nothing about it' I thought as I entered the elevator which is the only way up and down, like why is there no stairs it seems like a design flaw. "HOLD THE ELEVATOR," a voice said, great, doing as it says and, oh look it's the Schnee again. "thank you," she said as she walked in and stood beside me.
"Hello and welcome to the CCT how may I help you," a voice said over the intercom. "I'd liked to go to the communications room please," Schnee said, she then looked at me "same here," I said "could you place your scrolls on the terminal to verify your identities," the voice said. Pulling out our scrolls Schnee went first and I went second, only because I'm a gentleman. "perfect, thank you and have a nice day" they better not be going through my shit when I do that or else they are gonna have a bad time. Looking over at the only other passenger in the elevator I immediately raised an eyebrow 'the hell' Schnee was making faces, strange faces, oh she saw that I noticed and blushed.
*Ding*
Oh, praise Oum that's over, walking out towards the elevator I walk towards the front desk where a lady pops up. "hello and welcome to the beacon cross-continental-transmit center how may I help you" the holographic women asked is she a person or an A.I? "I'd like to make a private call to Professor Ozpin". "I'm sorry but Professor Ozpin is busy and will not be-" "tell him it's Lance" I cut off the lady. "one moment sir," she said as she disappeared and reappeared for a second "if you go to terminal 13 I could patch you through" she said "thanks" I said to her and looking at the Schnee "see ya next time Schnee" I said to her as I then walked towards my designated terminal, which all surrounding terminals were empty.
sitting down I waited and looked at my reflection, dammit I forgot the illusion to hide my eyes, the last thing I need is to gain the attention of anyone that knows 'them'. Well, we can only pray that no one important saw that. Powering up the terminal anNNNNNNNNNnnnndd "Hello Crimson" there he is ladies and gentleman Professor Ozpin himself in his green suit and that gray hair of his.
"Hello, Ozzy good to see to," I said waving at him "and a pleasure to see you too Crimson".
"Yeah time to cut the chase any info on the pawns," I said bluntly "as before we have nothing and Qrow is yet to report back" great "but crimson as I've said before let us handle this and you can-" "I can't do that Ozzy, I'm gonna find them and give them well deserve justice" "and how do you plan to do that" Ozpin said raising an eyebrow. "Simple, find Torchwick then I can find 'them'" "and yet you have no idea where he is". "well I may not know now but Nyon says he has info regarding him" "are you sure it is wise getting them involved" Ozpin asked.
"they know basically nothing Ozpin, I've only told them Torchwick's boss did something to me and I want to get some payback," I said crossing my arms giving Ozpin a glare. "crimson, again, I think you should let us handle this" "no" I said bluntly refusing his offer, the only thing they would do is slow down my investigation. "then how about we work together"
"what?" I said confused work together, I thought we were working together already. "what I mean is why don't you work with one of our huntsmen or huntresses in locating 'them'" Ozpin said. I immediately said my answer "no, we both know I like working with people I can truly trust" "are you saying you can't trust us" I snap my fingers and say "exactly, one minute I could be working for you guys next thing I know I get thrown in a prison cell or mental hospital". Ozpin then sighs "then would you accept a proposition" proposition eh "depends, what is it," I said crossing my arms.
