A.N. I planned to stop writing about Atlas about a dozen chapters ago, but somehow it didn't work out that way.
Chapter 72 - Atlas vs Fang
"Stand down! Release the woman!"
"Then leave the Faunus alone. You can have the other man if you want."
This is bad. This is really bad.
Sienna wanted to shout at Fennec and ask what the hell he was doing. Or maybe this is Rory's plan. Trick the Atlas Military into freeing her in exchange for the safety of a 'defenseless civilian'.
But there's just one problem with that...
"No! Atlas does not negotiate with terrorists. Release the woman, or wait as more reinforcements arrive before you give in."
Yup. No way they're getting through Ironwood's thick head. Sienna watched as Fennec's face turn pale at Ironwood's words. Hm? Why was he lowering his dagger? Wait, is he...?
*STAB*
Holy hell! Fennec just stabbed into Rory's arm! What the hell!
"AAAAAARRGHHHHH!" And now Fem!Rory was screaming in a surprisingly convincing female voice. Is he actually playing the part, or is he really in pain?
"Shit!" Ironwood looked queasy as he saw that a red stain started to grow on Rory's sleeve.
"If you guys don't get this woman to a hospital soon..."
"Alright, alright! We'll exchange. Just let her go."
"Let my fellow sister go first."
Ironwood held up a hand and signaled his troops to move away. Turning to look at Sienna, he gestured her to move forward.
Moving under their watchful eyes, she walked towards Fennec and Rory. Turning to look at Rory, she saw him give her a playful wink before moaning in fake? pain again.
God damn it, she was gonna give him hell later.
