This chapter will be from Valerie's POV (Title might change idk)

I Wish I Had Met Him Sooner

Trey took me to the roof of a tall building overlooking the bright lights of the city. The view was astonishing...man do I sound like those preppy girls in those movies I (for some reason) enjoy watching.

"So, now's your chance to ask me anything. Don't hold back." Trey said removing his hood.

"What's the meaning of life?" I said playfully.

"Really?"

"You said anything."

"Why do you remind me of Phoebe so much." He said putting his hand on his head.

"Why do you remind me of my older brother?"

"Is your older brother a wolf faunus that dresses up as a crime fighting lunatic?" Trey said with a smile on his face.

"Well..." I said to him.

"Don't answer that." He said turning to me.

"What do you do in your spare time?" I asked.

"Get hospitalized." Trey said rubbing his stomach.

"That sounds fun."

"It really isn't."

"I was kidding."

"I know you were." he said laughing. "It's getting pretty late and I want you to meet the rest of my team while they're still sober.

"Sober?" I asked.

"Anna likes to collect wine." Trey said hopping on to the ledge.

"Woah what are you doing!"

"Taking a detour you coming?"

"I was expecting more of a "Let me get the door for you kind of exit"." I said to him.

"Not from me c'mon let's go." he said holding out his hand.

"SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM!" I shouted already flying down the building like a bullet.

Trey's not the only one with a grappling hook (giggles).

I landed next to a cafe and ordered a latte while I waited for Trey to get down. Once he did I taunted him.

"Dude, what took you so long." I said to my friend.

"Can it. We got company." he said pulling his rifle off his back.

Trey walked into the middle of the street and aimed his rifle at a van that didn't appear to be stopping for him.

"Trey what are you doing!" I shouted.

Then just before the van came about six feet away from Trey he shot the vehicle making it flip and land on its roof. Trey walked over to the driver's door and ripped the driver out from the window. He proceeded to tie him to a light post and throw a piece of paper on to his then walked over to the back of the van and opened the door revealing a pile of boxes. Trey picked up the smallest one of the bunch and walked over with his hand over his ear.

"Brandon your info was solid thanks." He said then opened the box. "I got my package."

"Package?" I asked.

"Just a little bit of material I ordered. I need it for my gear only thing is I have to order it from Vacuo." Trey said patting the box.

"What kind of material is it? Some kind of metal I presume?

"It's called Blood Sand."

"Sounds scary."

"Dad said this was the best stuff to maintain our gear. I only have to order some every 5 months or so."

My phone began to vibrate. It was a text from mom saying:" Dinner's almost ready if you have friends bring them over so we can celebrate your acceptance!"

"Hey Trey are you going to be busy tonight?" I asked.

Trey looked at his scroll for a moment. "Movie night got cancelled since Professor Port just posted a project we need done by Friday."

"Why don't you come over to my place for dinner my folks want to meet you." I offered.

"Lead the way."

Leone Household 9:43 PM*

"Just be yourself you'll be fine." I said to Trey who was fixing his hair.

"I want to make a good impression."

I opened the door and was immediately greeted by my younger sister and brother

"Valerie you're back!" they cried out.

"Yep and I brought someone you may want to meet." I said motioning Trey to come in.

"Really who?" they both said in excitement.

"Trey I want you to meet my sister Kayla and my brother Chris. They're big fans."

Trey walked in and kneeled down to my siblings height. "Hey there kiddos."

"NO WAY!" they shouted.

Kayla is a 10 year old girl with black hair and deep blue eyes while her brother Chris was 14 with brown hair and had dark yellow eyes. Both of them sporting the white tiger ears and tail faunus traits.

"What are you kids yelling about?" my mom said peeking out of the kitchen.

"Who's at the door?" dad followed.

My mom Kelsey and my dad Victor...now those two are quite the piece. It was clear that Chris inherited mom's traits and Kayla inherited my dads.

Mom dropped the drink in her hand shattering the glass. "It's you...you're Jason's boy!"

"Trey? Here?" Dad said rushing into the living room.

"You guys know each other?" I asked looking at my family then to Trey.

Trey gave a "I don't know face" while my parents moved in closer to him.

"Let me get a look at you." Mom said holding Trey by the cheeks. "...Your eyes used to be red now one of em's blue."

"How do you know this?" Trey asked."How do you know me?"

"We fought alongside your father as huntsmen. You were in that hell of a training phase so we never got to see you as often. Your dad didn't want that for you, but your elders made him do it." Dad stepped in.

"When we heard about your father we were shocked. We didn't think Jason could even be taken down...he struck fear into anything that stepped into his path."

"That's what everyone's been telling me since that day." Trey said looking to the side.

"Well, you can stay here anytime you want. It's the least we could do for you son." Dad said putting his hand on Trey's shoulder.

"Thank you i'll stop by from time to time. I might have some questions for you later." Trey replied.

"Well now that you're here let's eat!"

Later...

"Well that went well." I teased

Trey and I were sitting on my bedroom floor listening to an old vinyl record I had.

"I bet there's even more people out there I need to meet." Trey said removing his armor and putting it away in his bag.

"You staying here tonight?" I asked.

"Yeah it's pretty late and I doubt the airships are up and running at this hour...besides your parents already laid out a sleeping bag for me here." Trey said.

"You're a pretty cool guy you know that." I said to my friend. "I just wish we had met sooner you know? Think of the adventures we would have had."

"Yeah."

"Hey I want to show you something..."

"What is it?" Trey said sitting down in his sleeping bag

I crawled over to the corner of my room and pulled out a canvas.

"This is for you"

I had drew a picture of the Shadow Warrior vigilante from behind with angel wings and his symbol in the middle. It was a pet project that I worked on for a while.

"This...is awesome...thank you Valerie." Trey said holding the drawing. "I don't know what to say."

I drew in closer to him. "You don't have to say anything..."

I closed my eyes and my lips made contact with his. I didn't want this moment to end. This is where I want to be. By his side...until the end.
