RWBY how to- B with Damien and Posidon29
P29: Hello! This is another how to. Now with more Blake! Let's get started now shall we? Oh, fair warning, this will get really emotional down the line. Just a heads up.
I own nothing of RWBY or anything else referenced in this story. I only own my OC, Damien.
It was after school and I had to go into town in order to get some stuff. So I went to the one guy I could always count on to fly me somewhere. "Hey there Captain Sarge, how's the crew doing?" After our initial argument about Whale vs. Bullhead, I actually found out he was a lot like everyone's favorite red team leader. What a coincidence. "Oh, hey Damien. Those idiots back there and I are going into the police soon. So this will be our last run into Vale. Why don't you say goodbye. I'm sure ill, I mean they'll miss you." I laugh at the sentimental old man. He was wearing his usual pilot's outfit but the standard issue red. I nod, sad that they'll be leaving and go inside to talk to the rest of the crew.
"Ouch! Why'd you have to punch me Simmons?" "Because, fat ass, you dropped a wrench on my head!" "Well that's essayer than bending down! Oh hey Damien." I smile and wave at the two. Grif and Simmons, both in the same outfit as Sarge but in their respected colors. All that's missing is Donut and Lopez. "Hey guys. So you're leaving to go into police. Could you take me on one more round trip for old times' sake?" I really needed to get to town. "Sure, just let us finish up with the engine. And by us I mean Simmons." I sigh and sit down. This is going to take a while.

When I finally get there I walk around town until I get to one of the places I need to go. "Welcome to Tuckson's book trade! Home to every book, under the sun." "You know Tukson, one day that catch phrase with make someone really mad." It had started out with me wanting going to warn him, but after we talked a bit we actually became friends. I already had a plan in place to help him, but that wasn't for a while. Not having many books with me I found myself frequently coming here. What I didn't expect to see was a familiar black bow.
"Hey Blake!" I shout, causing her to jump. She can space out almost as bad as I can. But instead of the friendly greeting I expected, she narrowed her eyes and glared at me. "What are you doing here? This place is a hotspot for white fang! Go!" I give a glare to Tukson behind her. He sheepishly rubs the back of his head. I had explained to him what would happen and stopped supporting his brothers a while ago. Guess someone forgot to tell her.
"Ok, than we BOTH go." I say hooking her arm and dragging her out of the store. I took her to my favorite café and got my usual seat on the roof. After she calmed down and ordered her tea, i spoke. "Blake, you and I have both been dreading this talk. But you need to let others in on your secret. I can tell it is killing you inside. At least tell the rest of your teammates. What are you so afraid of!" she was silent the whole time. Finally she got up and walked off a ways before stopping and turning to look at me. "Follow me." Was all she said. She walked away towards the poor side of town and I, not having much choice followed her.
Finally we get there. The streets themselves are empty but the amount of life in the alleyways more than makes up for it. Every alleyway, every corner, dozens of people, some human but mostly Faunus, littered the ground. Some crying out for spare change or simply moaning. Other didn't even move at all. "This," Blake stated, "was where I grew up. I was a poor girl and the White fang couldn't spend all of its resources on me. I saw a lot of good Faunus die on these streets. All of this, our suffering, came at the hands of humans. Humans just like Cardin and the Schnee. So you'll understand if I don't want to show that I'm a Faunus to everyone. And my background with the White Fang would just make it worse. They'd imprison me or worse, cut off my ears."
I was quiet after that. I wanted to apologies for my outburst earlier but the words got chocked up in my throat. Then I did something few people have ever done. I hugged Blake Belladonna. She resisted at first but eventually melted in to my embrace. "Look, I understand that you want me to reveal my secret, and I will. When I'm ready." She looked up at me, small tears in both of our eyes and she smiles. That smile quickly turns into embarrassment when she realizes that I'm still holding her.
"Um, Damien." She says while trying to squirm out. I release her and turn to go over to the people lying on the street. I walk up to an old man in pain and put my hands over his chest. Soon a white glow comes off him. His grimace of pain soon fades to a look of relief. "Thank you son. Now I can rest." And he lies down to sleep with a smile on his face. I look past the bewildered bystanders on the street to look at a shocked Blake. "From the look of it, most of these people look like they would be better off if we unlock their aura. Now come-on, I can't do this all by myself." I say with a slight smile. Blake soon grins and walks with me to go and help some of these people.
When we finish we walk over to the air field and get into my ride. "Hey Damien, who's this? Finally got you a girlfriend?" Grif leers at me causing both of us to blush. "She's not my girlfriend! She's just a friend who also goes to Beacon. Now could you please take us back?" "Sure, I'll go and tell the others. Oh, and miss. Talk good care of this little shit, or you'll face the wrath of Red Squad! Sorry, Sarge told us to say that if we ever caught you with a girl." I growl as Grif walks up frond, laughing. This was going to be a long ride.
P29: Another chapter, another dollar.
Damien: We're getting paid?
P29: No! It's just an expression. Now, I know what you, the audience, are thinking. No, I am not pairing Damien with Blake. He is not going to have a harem either. I'm a one woman kind of guy.
Damien: Although…
P29: SHUT UP! Now as usual, follow, fav, and please review. If you have any questions, comments, or death threats, feel free to PM me.
Arrivederci
