Blake had just gotten home from school when she received a text from Adam on her phone. It read, "Call me."
The young girl looked at the text and said to herself, "I wonder what's up." She then dialed Adam's number on her phone and patiently waited for him to respond.
Adam answered, saying, "Hi, Blake."
"Hey Adam," she replied. "What do you need to talk about?"
"I did some thinking," Adam said before sighing. "I'm willing to take our bond beyond friendship and mentorship, Blake."
Blake blushed, thinking to herself, "This is really happening? No way..." She then said, "Same... Here..."
"Look, Blake, when we first met, I truly did think of you only as a friend and a student I had to mentor. But, you know, as 2 people grow up, feelings can change about someone else." He then paused. "What I'm trying to say is, I want us to be a thing."
Blake smiled. "Yes, yes, Adam. I've begun to feel the same way. There are nights where I see you in my dreams. I know that sounds cheesy and corny and whatnot, but it happens. And I do know what you mean about growing up. Seriously, my whole life has changed in the span of just a year."

"So," Adam said as he examined some Grimm masks Simon had bought for him and Blake. "These are the masks?"
"You got it," he replied. He then put his mask on. "I'm gonna bring these up at the next big meeting. Imagine how much publicity we'll get when we protest with these things." He then turned to Blake. "So, how do I look?"
"Scary," Blake replied sarcastically. She did not really care for the masks, unlike her now-boyfriend and her mentor. "I'm not into these masks that much."
"I am," Adam replied as he put his on. "Rawr," he said as he playfully bared his hands as if they were claws at Blake.
The young girl laughed and said, "Adam, take off the mask. You're not a monster."
"I am the knight of the dark! The saviour of the faunus race! The ruler of all things heroic!" Adam then laughed again. "This is pretty fun."
"You're not some cheesy superhero either, dude." She then put her mask on. "So, how do I look with mine on?"
Adam looked at Blake and said, "Not bad. I wish you liked these masks more, because I think you'd look awesome in them." He then turned to Simon. "Say, can I paint some stuff on mine? These masks look boring when they're just plain white."
The older mentor shrugged and said, "I don't really care. They're yours to keep, guys."

"We're getting pretty good at this," Adam said to an exhausted Blake. "I still can't believe you can summon copies of yourself!"
"Me neither," the tired-out girl replied as she sat down on the ground. "I never knew how powerful... A semblance could be... Until today." She then wiped her forehead off.
"I wonder what my semblance will be when this is all over," Adam said to Blake. "Say, you need some water?"
"That would be nice."
Adam then walked over to Simon's car and opened the back right door to grab a bottle of water. When he came back, Blake reached out for the water and grabbed it from his hands quickly. As she downed over 2/3 of the bottle, Adam said, "Looks like you were pretty thirsty."
"Yeah," Blake said as she took a deep breath before finishing the bottle. She then got up and said, "So, you got any plans for later?"
"Not really. Wanna come over my house?"
"Sure thing." Blake then went up and gave Adam a quick kiss. "I'll see you tonight then."

A high-ranking member of the White Fang, Aaron Lowe was very suspicious of Simon, especially in regards to his training of Adam and Blake. Therefore, he decided calling a personal meeting with him and Simon was the best way to address any concerns he had.
Unfortunately, Simon had other plans involving sending somebody else over instead.
Aaron sat in his house, patiently waiting for Simon to show up. As he checked the time in his kitchen, he heard the doorbell ring. He got up and walked out of the kitchen and to his front door, expecting to see Simon. He thought to himself, "Hopefully, we can reach an agreement. I don't want to cause a power struggle in the White Fang."
When he opened the door, he said, "Hello, Simo-" He then saw a man in a mask point a gun at his head. As he cocked it, Aaron froze.
Then, 2 loud gunshots echoed through the house and the outside. A masked gunman pushed his way into the front room of Aaron's house as he fell to the ground with 2 bullets in his head.
The gunman looked up at the stairs and saw Aaron's teenage son and his wife rush downstairs. His wife screamed and his son charged at the gunman, angered at his father's slaying.
The gunman coldly shot him. As his body fell to the ground, he shot Aaron's wife too as she tried to flee upstairs, her body tumbling and falling to the floor. The gunman then pushed her body aside as he went upstairs.
A neighbour had ran outside, carrying his own hunting rifle and calling 911. He watched on as he told the dispatcher about the gunshots. Then, he heard several more gunshots echo from upstairs. The neighbour said to the dispatcher, "Holy fuck, I think he just shot more people! This is getting fucking insane!"
Then, after a while, the gunman fled out the front door and back onto his motorbike. The neighbour put his phone down and aimed at the gunmen, firing 2 shots, one of which hit the bike, causing him to spin out and crash onto the road. The gunman got up, badly hurt, as 2 police cars approached him.
4 police officers stepped out, aiming their guns at the gunman. One of them yelled, "DROP YOUR WEAPON, NOW!"
The gunman dropped his pistol and reached for his left side, quickly pressing something on it. The police fired off only 1 shot before an explosion suddenly ripped through the area, engulfing the 2 police cars as more police officers showed up.
The neighbour shook his head and said, "A fucking suicide bomber? Oh my God..."
