Now then without further ado, lets begin
"You know what I am NOT having a good day today" Adam thought bitterly about the horrid day he'd been having today "First I get lost in this goddamn city. Second because of some gang that I spared the entire city now knows I'm here and are probably going to start a manhunt for me right about now. Third the shipment of dust I was supposed to steal for Torchwick ended in a complete failure as I couldn't acquire it without alerting the entire city to my location so it was no good. Then finally some goddamn blonde comes up to me saying my alias and my actual name. Not to mention the fact she says that she's good friends with Blake and that she talks about me. . . DOES FATE HATE ME THAT MUCH" Adam thought angrily as he remembered how this all started
~Couple of hours ago~
"Alright so you know what to do right" Torchwick said sternly through Adam's scroll who was leaning against the wall of the hideout the White Fang uses in Vale
"Yeah, Yeah get to the warehouse knock out the security and anyone in my way. Then take the dust and take it back to our runner blah blah blah" Adam said uncaringly as Torchwick scowled at him and puffed his cigar
"This is a serious matter Taurus, we need the damn dust and if you can't do the job right we will find someone else to do it" Torchwick said trying to threaten Adam who didn't really care about the threat that much
"Please like anyone could be better a job than me and you know it Mr. bowl hat" Adam said smugly as he took enjoyment of Torchwick annoyance"So. . where exactly is this warehouse the informant didn't tell me where it was" Adam asked as Torchwick began to grin wickedly at him
"How should I know isn't this what your best at doing" Torchwick replied smugly before hanging up on Adam before he could retort
". . .That son of a" Adam muttered as he tightened his grip on the ends of the scroll until it snapped in two from his grip ". .Great now I need to buy a new scroll *Sigh* great just great" Adam said sighing as he walked out of the alleyway he was in and tossed the broken scroll in the nearest trash can after taking it's hard drive, so that no one passing by will take what is on the scroll "Now. . where the hell is this goddamn warehouse, it can't be that hard to find" Adam muttered before heading down a random street.
Adam spent an hour or so walking around the city going down street by street and still couldn't find the location of the warehouse with the dust shipment. Adam was getting really, really frustrated by the second as he walked down the streets of Vale angrily "I swear to dust I am going to kill someone in the next 5 minutes if I don't find this goddamn warehouse" Adam said under his breath gritting his teeth as he rounded the next corner which to his unpleasant surprise he saw that he walked up to a police station. He quickly noticed that one of the police officers that was on the on the front porch of the precinct was eyeing him warily as if he seen him before "Shit shit" Adam thought as he walked faster and away of the policeman's sight by walking into a random alleyway.
Adam continued walking down the alley he made sure he wasn't being followed as he made his way into an intersection where he heard rustling and noticed a group of five thugs was starting to surround him "Awe lookie here boys it's a little faunas all alone and wearing some nice fancy clothing, why don't we help him out of those boys" the man Adam thought was leader said to the rest of his group as they laughed
"I suggest you leave me alone I am NOT having a good day today so how about you and the rest of your pitiful excuse of a gang leave me alone. . before I rip out your own spine and bitch slap you with it" Adam said growling a bit at the leader
"OO~ lookie here a tough guy, your not going to be so tough when your eating your own-ACK" The man didn't finish as Adam shot Blush's handle into the man's face and then quickly afterimage behind him. Adam grabbed Blush in mid air before hitting him upside his head with Wilt. He then quickly after image behind two of the thugs that were behind him and hit them both in the nape of their neck knocking them out. He then charged the other thug only to afterimage in front him shocking the man before Adam jumped up and knee'd him in the jaw as he felt it break under the pressure. As the man staggered back Adam smacked him with Wilt and then jabbed Wilt's handle into the thug's gut before kicking him into the wall painfully as he fell down unconscious. Adam side step from the remaining man that tried to tackle him which he countered instantly by kneeing him in the gut and hit the back of his neck with Blush handle knocking the last man unconscious.
Adam looked around at his worked as all of the thugs were groaning in pain or unconscious and noticed the leader was still conscious. Adam walked over the groaning bodies to the leader who was cowering in fear him "I-I know who you are, y-your the Red Death. Oh dust please I'm sorry spare me please" the man said cowering in fear of him
"Yeah no, see if I let you live then everyone will know I'm here and we can't have that can we" Adam replied as he raised his blade ready to kill the man and the rest of them but stopped. He turned his head slightly to side as he was expecting something as this was the part in where Blake would come in and start pleading to him to spare them before asking the thugs that they never saw us and leave. But that didn't happen as he knew she wasn't with him anymore and couldn't help but feel sad at that even though he could kill them without interruption but. . He couldn't. Even when he had the chance to kill them he couldn't bring himself to bring down the blade because he could still feel the sad glance of Blake would use when he was about to kill someone. Adam used to enjoy the sight of men cowering in fear of him or the feeling of glee as he was about to kill someone, but now. . Now the only thing he feels is disgust at the sight of himself ready to kill someone for nothing important or the guilt he gets looking at man still cowering in fear of him that reminded him of how Blake is whenever she sees him kill. Fear and sadness
Adam lowered his sword and looked at the blade in his hand and sighed "What am I even doing" Adam muttered as he turned to look at the man again who looked at him still fear still evident in his eyes. Adam gave out a loud sigh before kicking the man on his side temple knocking him unconscious before looking at the other unconscious thugs and sighed again. He then quickly looked up when he heard the sounds of footsteps and shouting coming close to him"Shit police" Adam said remembering that he was still near the police station and ran out of the alleyway before they caught up to him.
Adam kept running until he felt that they weren't chasing after him as he stopped he looked back and gave a sigh "Great they're probably going to start a manhunt for me soon *Sigh* great. . . now, where the hell is that goddamn ware-" Adam himself off as he looked to the side to see the warehouse where the dust was being delivered was just a few feet from him ". . .Huh well that's convenient" Adam's said mildly as he ran around back and climbed up the side of the warehouse to look down inside from the window he was hanging from. As he scanned the inside he saw the shipment of dust Torchwick wanted "Ah there it is but where's the security detail" Adam thought as his question was answered as several heavily shielded guards came in surrounding the shipment which made his eyes widen in surprise "The hell, they weren't supposed to be that many guards or even have that much protection on them why the hell did the detail change" Adam thought as he looked around some more before he found the reason "Oh. . her" Adam thought bitterly as he saw the heiress of the Schnee family talking to the foreman overseeing the shipment as he listened in onto their conversation.
"Are you sure we need this many guards I'm pretty sure my men can handle it Mrs. Schnee" the docks foreman overseeing the shipment said as the heiress glared at him coldly
"Do you really trust your men to guard this dust shipment, that is 100% pure untampered dust that is the most rarest form of dust of all of Vytal that's worth more than your entire life, your men's lives, and your business if it gets stolen, Well. . DO YOU" the heiress yelled as her icy glare intensified as if she was looking deep into the man's soul
"N-No of course not Mrs. Schnee your absolutely correct I apologize for my ignorance" The foreman said as he cowered in her glare
"Then do your job right and take these to the Schnee family vault before I have you FIRED" the heiress yelled unwavering in her glare toward the man
"Of course Mrs. Schnee, right away Mrs. Schnee" the foreman said before ordering his men and the guards to move the shipment out.
"Well Goddammit" Adam said as he dropped down from the warehouse windows "As good as the White Fang hackers are that vault is goddamn impenetrable unless you have the parents DNA, eye recognition, voice sample or shit ton of explosives and not to mention even if I attack now I may have trouble with those guards. I mean, even if I take them out the alarm would sound and every body in mile radius will come and try to stop me" Adam said under his breath as he paced back and forth to think before stopping and sighed loudly his shoulders drooped "Fuck it I'm going back to the hideout. I'll deal with Torchwick's bullshit about failing later" Adam said with another sigh as he left the docks.
Adam continued walking away from the warehouse until he stopped mid step "Wait. . Where the FUCK AM I" Adam screamed out looking around the unfamiliar street "Goddammit. . I hate this city I swear its doing this on purpose, *Sigh* I'd better get back before it gets dark" Adam said as continued walking down the street as the sun began to set as if it was mocking him "I hate this day so much right now" Adam said bitterly in defeat
After a while of walking down street by streets he came down a familiar street "Finally I'm getting somewhere" Adam thought as he continued passing by the remaining stragglers of the city as they head home. Adam continued looking at each passerby as he continued walking by as he noticed two girls with exceptional auras but paid no mind to them and continued heading down the street awhile until he felt someones aura shadowing him for awhile. Adam stopped and turned ready to fight but as he turned he noticed it was one of the girls he passed by, he just stared at her and the girl just smiled in response causing him to raise his eyebrow in confusion when the girl spoke
"So~. . .Red Death" the girl said bluntly as Adam inwardly cursed
"Goddammit she knows who I am and I from what I can tell her aura is of a damn huntress dammit, Shit" Adam thought as he tighten his grip on Wilt readying to fight
"Hey now no need to get violent" the girl said as she raised her hands in peace as she continued "Especially since I'm a dear of a kitty faunas of yours" the girl said still smiling at him as he twitch at the comment
"What" Adam blurted out "No can't be, she can't be friends of Blake that is too convenient" Adam thought as his suspicions were answered with the girls next words
"You know Blake talks a lot about you. . .Adam"
"Why is this happening to me" Adam thought deeply as the girl in front of him started to snap her fingers in his face bringing him out of his thoughts
"Hey you alright you spaced out for a bit" the girl asked as Adam sighed
"What do you want girl" Adam said tiredly as he didn't want to deal with this especially with the day he's been through
"First it's not girl, the name's Yang a pleasure to meet you" Yang said cheerfully lifting her hand to shake his hand as he just stared at her ignoring the gesture
"Again, what do you want" Adam said as he began to get annoyed by the girl cheerfulness
"Hey Hey no need to get feisty I just want to see the guy Blake talks about" Yang said grinning slyly
". . She. . talks about me" Adam said little surprised that she actually talks about him
"Yep she enjoys talking about you with the others of our team that is. . well that is before she starts crying always saying that she could've done something to get you to come with her and stop killing" Yang said a little glum and Adam feeling guilty
"No. . I'm. . I'm needed in the White Fang nothing else matters" Adam said solemnly as he felt hurt towards himself for saying those words
"Do you really feel like you should be there with no one to be with and not with Blake who actually gives a damn about you" Yang asked raising an eyebrow at him as Adam stayed silent "I mean the girl cares about you deeply and not to mention she stayed with you for all those years just for you, and your saying you don't care about her" Yang said getting a little angry that he won't respond
They stayed there silence as neither made a move until Adam sighed "No. . it just I. . I don't deserve it" Adam said sadness evident in his voice
"Come on now Blake got a second chance by coming to Beacon, why can't you get second chance as well?" Yang asked as she moved her hands on her hips
"It's because she never wanted to be part of the White Fang when it changed she wanted to leave. I wanted to stay and because of that she stayed with me enduring all those hardships I brought onto her. I don't deserve a second chance with what I done and forced her to do during those times" Adam said as he sighed glumly as he wonders why is he even telling her this
"Hey, hey people can change and those who can deserve a second chance and you know what I'll help you with Blake for a low down payment of 20 Lien" Yang said cheerfully breaking the uneasy tension and replacing it with a comical one
". . What" Adam asked confused at he just heard
"Hey I'm giving you great advice about getting a second chance with Blake, for a low, low price of 50 Lien" Yang said mischievous grin
"Hold on you said 20" Adam retorted quickly
"What no I didn't, I said I would help with Blake for 100 Lien" Yang said giving Adam a Cheshire smile causing Adam became even more confused
"But you just said-" Adam began as Yang cut him off
"I just said I'll help you with Blake, so are you going to pay me my 200 Lin or not" Yang said with a fake huff as she continued to smile at Adam as he began to get annoyed
"You-I- I'm going to" Adam said started shaking his hands in frustration
"Hey do you care for Blake or don't you" Yang said sternly with a glare
"Of course I d-" Adam said once again cut off
"Then pay me my 500 Lien and I'll help you with Blake and the two of you will be happy and you can get pass all that melodramatic shit" Yang said cheerfully as Adam just started sputtering out nonsense as he gave out a loud sigh as he slumped his shoulders and got his wallet out of his back pocket.
"What the hell am I even doing" Adam muttered angrily as he slapped his hand against her open hand handing her the 500 Lien
"Thank you for your patronage" Yang said while counting the money
". . .Well what am I supposed to do" Adam said waiting for the advice
"Huh, how the hell should I know? All I know is that I'm 500 Lien richer now" Yang replied smugly before hearing a click and looking up from her money to see Wilt pressed up against her head as Adam angrily glared her through his mask "And by that I mean there is a dance coming up this Saturday" Yang said nervously as Adam lowered Wilt down a little
"A dance" Adam said questionably as Yang slowly backed away from his gun and continued
"Yeah everyone is attending and not to mention it's a masked gala so you could slip in unnoticed and you're already wearing a suit so it'll be perfect" Yang said giving him a thumbs up as she continued to move out of Wilts range
"I don't know" Adam said putting wilt on his shoulder as he started questioning himself of what he should do why was he was even considering it
"Come on now or do you want Blake to forget all about you and don't even care if your alive or not as she dances with some prince charming wannabe" Yang said sternly with a small hint of playfulness as she looked at him as he was startled by what she said
"I'm just saying is that she cares about you but if you don't do anything she will move on and will forget about you, just saying" Yang said mildly as she turned around and walked away leaving Adam to think as she called back "Oh by the way thanks for the 500 Lien" Yang said cheerfully as she gave a hearty laugh and ran around the corner leaving Adam to watch scene as he could still hear her laughing fade away
". . . . . . Goddamn bitch" Adam muttered slightly surprised at the fact that he gave her the chance to steal his money.
Adam just stayed there as he sighed thinking back to what she told him 'She's better off without me in her life' Adam thought bitterly as the voice came back into his mind
"Do you really believe that" the voice asked seriously
'Of course, she deserves better than a person who constantly kills for his own good then think of her wellfare during those times' Adam said thought back bitterly as he tried to force the voice out of his head as he could hear it sigh
"Boy are you stupid or what. Look I'll try to explain it as simple and easy as possible for you to understand *Ahem* YOU FUCKING LOVE HER DIPSHIT AND SHE LOVES YOU, SO GET IT THROUGH YOUR DAMN THICK SKULL, GO TO THAT DAMN DANCE AND APOLOGIZE TO HER OR I'LL HAUNT YOU UNTIL YOU DO!" The voiced screamed angrily at Adam causing him to jump up with a jolt at the unexpected action as he questioned his sanity for the first time in a long time
". . . . Fine I'll go" Adam muttered in defeat as he started to walk his way back to his hideout and lie low for a while.
~Yang~
Yang was whistling a happy tune as she walked back to airship docks as she counted her Lien she got from Adam "Well. . that was a thing" she said smiling smugly as she noticed Ruby was waiting for her near the entrance
"There you are. I ask the pilot to wait for us. . Where did you get that money" Ruby said a little worried as she eyed the money
"Oh~ no where you should be concerned about my dear little sister" Yang said cheerfully as she didn't want Ruby to know about Adam just yet
". . .You didn't sell yourself did you" Ruby said bluntly as Yang looked shocked
"RUBY! How could you think that of me, sure I may seduce men a lot but that's for shits and giggles. I would never do that, I have morals dammit" Yang said sternly while trying to get Ruby side tracked so she wouldn't ask about the money
"Then where did you get" Ruby asked still eyeing the money
"I got it from some guys gambling in a alleyway that's all and I must say they suck at gambling" Yang said lying flawlessly about the money'
"Alright as long as dad doesn't find out that you sold yourself to some guy in an alleyway" Ruby said jokingly as she decided to mess with her sister for a bit.
Yang caught on what her sister was doing "Hey now I did not do that I have morals and besides if you do tell him that I'll just tell him about that little park exploding incident that you had part in" Yang said grinning as Ruby looked shock
"How did you know about that" Ruby asked timidly
"You just told me right now" Yang said smugly not waiting for her to retort as she got on the airship as Ruby followed after her pouting "Ah~ this dance is going to be very interesting" Yang thought as the airship took them back to beacon.
